President Trump threatened a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Canada proceeds with its trade deal with China, asserting that Canada will not serve as a conduit for Chinese imports.

Trump’s remarks included derogatory references to Carney, and he revoked an invitation for Carney to join his Board of Peace. The trade relationship remains strained as Canada is protected by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which is up for review this year.
