Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on Canada Over China Deal

On 24 January 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his Truth platform a threat that Canada would face a 100 percent tariff on all imports if it signs a trade pact with China. The warning comes after Canada, in early January, agreed to lower tariffs on Chinese electric‑vehicle vehicles in exchange for reduced duties on Canadian farm products under a new bilateral accord. Trump accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of turning Canada into a “drop‑off port” for Chinese goods and warned the deal could devastate Canadian businesses, social fabric and way of life. The statement escalated tensions, as Canada seeks to negotiate concessions while the United States and Canada review the Canada‑US‑Mexico Agreement this year.
