US President Donald Trump, who has been involved in a war of words with Canada’s Prime Miner Mark Carney over the past few days, has taken one notch higher threatening to impose tariffs on Ottawa if America’s northern neighbour makes a deal with China.
“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,” Trump said in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
In the post, Trump addressed Prime Miner Carney as Governor Carney, the same taunt he used against Justin Trudeau, to imply that Canada was the 51st state of the US.
“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 maken,” Trump said in reference to the recent landmark Canada-China trade agreement.
