Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Canada Over Expanding Trade With China
U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that Canada could face tariffs of up to 100 percent on its exports to the United States if it deepens trade relations with China.
The threat marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric and signals a willingness to use aggressive trade measures to discourage allies from strengthening economic ties with Beijing. Such tariffs would significantly disrupt North American supply chains and bilateral commerce.
Canada has defended its right to pursue an independent trade policy, while analysts note that the warning places Ottawa in a difficult position between economic diversification and pressure from its largest trading partner.
The dispute highlights how trade policy, geopolitics, and domestic politics are becoming increasingly intertwined.
