Sat, 24 Jan 2026 Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariffs if it 'makes a deal with China'

It comes as tensions appear to have escalated between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

* US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Canada makes a deal with China.
* Trump's threat comes after Canadian Prime Minister Carney announced a "strategic partnership" with China, including reduced tariffs.
* Tensions between the US and Canada have grown recently, following Carney's comments at Davos that the US-led world order had been ruptured.
* Trump has withdrawn an invitation for Canada to join his new Board of Peace, and said in a social media post that Canada would be "hit with a 100% Tariff" if it makes a deal with China.
* Canada's trade minister says there is no pursuit of a free trade deal with China, but rather resolution on several tariff issues.
