President Donald Trump warned Canada that he would impose sweeping 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Ottawa proceeds with a trade agreement with China.
The warning was delivered through a series of posts on Trump’s Truth Social account over the weekend.
Trump said he would not allow Canada to become a transit hub for Chinese goods entering the United States market.
He described Canada as a potential “drop-off port” for Chinese exports seeking access to US consumers.
The former president framed the issue as a matter of national economic security rather than routine trade policy.
Trump said the proposed tariffs would apply immediately if the Canada–China deal is finalised.
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. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Donald Trump said.
He argued that China’s growing trade influence poses a long-term risk to Canada’s domestic industries.
Trump claimed that Chinese competition would undermine Canadian businesses and weaken the country’s social and economic foundations.
