Trump Threatens Canada With Tariffs as Post-Davos Fallout Continues

Following a speech by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Davos criticizing the use of tariffs, President Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariffs on all goods entering the U.S. if it "makes a deal with China." The threat, made on Truth Social, comes despite no evidence of Canada and China discussing a broad trade agreement. Trump's reaction may stem from Carney's recent state visit to China, where a modest agreement was reached to lower tariffs on certain electric vehicles and agricultural products. While the U.S. was reportedly briefed on the Canada-China agreement beforehand, Trump's stance shifted after Carney's Davos speech, where he advocated for "middle powers" to unite against the use of economic coercion.
