Trump threatens 100% tariff on Canadian imports over Canada’s China trade deal
President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Canadian goods, arguing Canada’s trade deal with China could become a backdoor for Chinese products into the U.S., intensifying a growing U.S.-Canada feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
President Donald Trump said he could impose a 100% tariff on imports from Canada, escalating trade tensions after Canada reached a new deal with China.
Trump argued the agreement could allow Chinese goods to enter the U.S. through Canada, and his comments deepened a broader public clash with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over trade and foreign policy.
The threat lands amid already-frayed relations and heightened uncertainty for cross-border commerce, with businesses watching for whether the warning becomes formal policy and how Canada may respond.
Even the threat of sweeping tariffs can chill investment decisions, complicate supply chains, and force companies to model higher costs and delays at the border.
