US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian imports if Ottawa proceeds with a proposed trade arrangement with China.

In a post on Truth Social Mr Trump said: “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. 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! President DJT”

The warning follows recent talks between Mr Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping, aimed at restoring trade ties after years of strained relations. The discussions include sharply reduced tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles entering Canada and reciprocal cuts to Chinese duties on Canadian agricultural exports.

Ottawa has framed the engagement as part of a broader effort to diversify trade beyond the United States amid fragmentation in the global trading system.
