AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Donald Trump threatened Canada with a 100% tariff on all imports if they make a trade deal with China. He claimed China would "devour" Canada and the tariff would prevent Canada from becoming a "drop off port" for Chinese goods entering the U.S. This threat was made on his Truth Social platform. Separately, Trump stated the U.S. had seized oil from Venezuelan tankers and U.S. refineries, including those in Houston, would process it. The U.S. military has seized seven Venezuela-linked tankers as part of a campaign to control Venezuela's oil flows, with Trump claiming 50 million barrels were taken and some sold on the open market.
