Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariffs
Promise of 100% tariffs on deal with China
U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview that if Canadian Prime Minister Arthur Carney makes a deal with China, the US will impose 100-percent tariffs on Canada. Trump said that 'China will eat Canada alive' and destroy the lives of Canadians. He did not specify a concrete date for the measures but emphasized that 'Canada will not be able to become a transshipment point for China to send goods into the United States.' In response to Trump's remarks, Carney remains in his position, and the government has indicated it is assessing the potential consequences of the announced measures.
