Trump Threatens Canada with Full Tariffs for Basically Having Friends
KEY POINTS
- â˘Trump threatened 100% tariffs on all Canadian exports if Canada finalizes a trade deal with China.
- â˘Canadian PM Mark Carney recently visited China to discuss trade, securing tariff reductions on electric vehicles and canola seed.
- â˘Trump criticized Carney after his Davos speech, emphasizing Canadaâs economic dependence on the United States.
On a chilly Saturday, former President Donald J. Trump declared on Truth Social that Canada faces a 100% tariff apocalypse if it dares cozy up to China. He called Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney 'Governor Carney'âbecause titles apparently matter like Kickstarter stretch goalsâand warned about Canada becoming a 'Drop Off Port' for Chinese goods. Canada just opened its gates to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles with a friendly 6.1% tariff rate, hoping China lowers canola tariffs to 15% by March 1. Trump, freshly salty after Carneyâs fancy speech at Davos about 'ruptures' in global politics, snapped back, reminding Canada it 'lives because of the US.' Talk about a trade tantrum worth the popcorn.

If imposing 100% tariffs was an Olympic sport, Trump just took the gold in 'Passive-Aggressive Diplomacy.' Watch out, Carneyâs not the only one flexing global muscles here.
This trade feud reads like an awkward family dinner: âYou let Beijing in? Fine, Iâll slam the door...with tariffs!â Sorry Canada, your electric cars just got punked by political emojis.
