🚨 MASSIVE: Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on Canada Over China Deal: What’s Really Going On
Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to Canada: if Canada finalizes a major trade deal with China, the U.S. will impose 100% tariffs on Canadian goods entering the American market.
Trump claims Canada could become a transit hub for Chinese goods, allowing China to bypass heavy U.S. tariffs by routing exports through Canada, which has deep and long-standing trade ties with the U.S.
The Real Reason
The core issue is Canada’s growing alignment with China under Mark Carney. Canada is actively reducing dependence on the U.S. and exploring a “landmark” trade partnership with China, which has clearly irritated Trump.
What the Canada–China Deal Involves:
🔹China may cut canola tariffs on Canada from ~84% to ~15%, reopening Canada’s biggest export market.
🔹Visa-free entry for Canadian visitors to China.
🔹Canada to allow around 49,000 Chinese EVs at just 6% tariff.
Why the U.S. Is Worried
Such a deal would:
🔹Strengthen China’s economic foothold in North America
🔹Undermine U.S. tariff pressure on Beijing
🔹Signal that even close U.S. allies are hedging toward China
Trump’s tariff threat is an attempt to intimidate Canada into backing off China. But the move may backfire, pushing Canada even closer to Beijing and reinforcing the perception that U.S. policy is unpredictable.
In trying to block China, US may be accelerating China’s diplomatic gains instead.
