US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Canada that if it concludes a trade deal with China, he will impose a 100 percent tariff on all goods coming over the border.
Relations between the United States and its northern neighbor have been rocky since Trump returned to the White House a year ago, with spats over trade and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney decrying a rupture in the US-led global order.
During a visit to Beijing last week, Carney hailed a new strategic partnership with China that resulted in a preliminary but landmark trade agreement to reduce tariffs but Trump warned of serious consequences should that deal be realized.
