US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signs a trade deal with China. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump claimed that such a deal would result in 'a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.' This comes after Trudeau met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and announced a trade deal that includes electric vehicles. Trump has a history of escalating tensions with Canada, referring to it as the '51st state' and even suggesting he might try to acquire the country. The relationship between the two countries has been strained due to Trump's push to take control of Greenland and his comments about NATO. In response to Trudeau's speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump withdrew Canada's invitation to join his Board of Peace and criticized Canada for its trade deals with China and its opposition to a missile shield in Greenland. Experts suggest that Canada's policy on China has shifted due to ongoing uncertainty with the US, its largest trade partner. The tension between the two countries has been a point of contention, with Trump imposing new tariffs on Canadian goods and Trudeau pushing back on the idea that Canada relies on the US for survival.
