Trump Says Canada Will Face 100% Tariffs if It "Makes A Deal With China"
U.S. President Donald Trump says Canadian goods exported to the United States would be hit with 100 percent tariffs if Canada makes a deal with China.
“If Governor 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. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on the morning of Jan. 24.
“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!”
The U.S. president wrote the remarks while posting a Jan. 23 article by Just the News titled, “Deal with the Devil: How Canada’s New Partnership With China Could Backfire.”
Trump’s reference to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as “Governor” marks a return to the relations the U.S. president had with Carney’s predecessor, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, using the title to reflect his view that Canada should be part of the United States. Trump had not previously used the title for Carney, saying on several occasions that he likes him, but relations soured after Carney delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, last week in which he levied heavy criticism at the United States.
Prior to arriving in Davos, Carney met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing, where he signed a series of agreements that included slashing tariffs on Chinese EV imports from 100 percent to 6.1 percent for the first 49,000 units, in exchange for China cutting tariffs on Canadian canola from 85 percent to 15 percent until at least the end of the year. While in Beijing, Carney said Canada--China relations are entering a “new era,” and that Ottawa’s pursuit of a partnership with China “sets us up well for the new world order.”
As a Canadian, I'm glad Trump is doing this. It will ultimately do more good for Canada than Carney's alleged "deal" will.
It's a war & Trump will win, Canada will be free.
That sounds great, but it is a truth worth contemplating: no man can be free if he prefers not to be. Too many Canadians have no interest in Liberty. They want safety and a big nanny state to take care of them and give them free stuff.
How many Immigrants, legal & illegal do they have that are being supported by the gov't. 🤔😮
IMHO it's only a matter of a short time before Alberta joins the US as a self-governing territory (statehood requires far too much agreement within the Congress), and then Sas and Manitoba, and maybe BC and Yukon too, will follow.

And no more Canadians vacationing in USA. Vacation in China instead. Get a good look at what's coming for you.
Carny is a communist
Do autists have a theory as to any hidden meaning behind "Thank you for your attention to this matter"? He uses that a whole lot now, while he rarely if ever used it in his first term...
I think it's just an acknowledgement that now that he is able to speak publicly on Truth and X instead of being filtered through MSM bias and social media shadow banning.
We should blockade canada of tjeu do that.
