Washington: Donald Trump threatened on Saturday, January 24, 2026, to impose "100% tariffs" on Canadian imports to the United States in the event of a trade agreement between Canada and China, after Ottawa announced a preliminary agreement in Beijing last week.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the US president expressed his concerns on his Truth Social platform, asserting that if Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney "thinks he's going to make Canada a 'port of drop-off' for China to send its goods and products to the United States, he's sorely mistaken." Trump indicated that the proposed tariffs would effectively double the price of Canadian goods entering the United States.

Since his return to power a year ago, Donald Trump has taken a hard stance against Canada, suggesting the possibility of annexing it as the 51st American state. This move is part of his broader trade strategies, where Canada has become one of the primary focal points in his trade policies.
