"In a statement shared on Truth Social on Saturday morning, Trump said Carney is sorely mistaken if he thinks Canada can become a Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A, Trump wrote in the post, which referred to Carney as governor instead of prime minister. Carney's office did not immediately respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment on Trump's remarks."
"We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition, Carney said in the speech, urging the world's middle powers to deepen cooperation in the face of coercion and threats. The prime minister's remarks drew the ire of Trump, who responded by saying that Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements, he said in Davos. Trump also revoked an invitation for Carney to join his so-called Board of Peace this week."
Donald Trump posted a threat on Truth Social to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if Canada finalizes a trade deal with China. The post described Canada as potentially becoming a "Drop Off Port" for Chinese goods and misidentified Mark Carney as governor. Tensions rose after Carney's Davos speech warning of coercion and urging middle powers to cooperate, prompting Trump to revoke an invitation to his Board of Peace. The dispute follows longstanding U.S. tariff threats and comments about Canada becoming the U.S.'s 51st state, and has pushed Canada to seek partnerships with China and the EU.
