Key Facts
Trump’s threat comes two days after he pulled Canada’s invitation to join his “Board of Peace” after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took aim at Trump’s foreign policy moves.
Crucial Quote
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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.”
