Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariffs over its new trade deal with China

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America's northern neighbor went ahead with its China trade deal , intensifying a feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney , a rising voice in the West's pushback to Trump new world order . Trump said in a social media post that if Carney "thinks he is going to make Canada a 'Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken." While Trump has waged a trade war over the past year, Canada this month negotiated a deal to lower tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in return for lower import taxes on Canadian farm products. Trump initially had said that agreement was what Carney "should be doing and it's a good thing for him to sign a trade deal." Dominic LeBlanc, Canada's minister responsible for trade with the United States, said Canada and China had resolved "several important trade issues" but there was no pursuit of a free-trade agreement. Trump's threat came amid an escalating war of words with Carney as the Republican president's push to acquire Greenland strained the NATO alliance
