Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Canadian officials might ink a trade deal with China, and U.S. President Donald Trump said that would trigger a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods sent to the United States.
Trump announced the new tariffs would take effect immediately if Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney turns Canada into a conduit for Chinese-made goods intended for the United States.
"If [Prime Minister] 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," the president said on Saturday in a social media post.
"China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric and general way of life," Trump said.
