“Canadian officials might ink a trade deal with China, and U.S. President Donald Trump said that would trigger a 100% tariff on [American buyers of] 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. … Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing last week and made a deal to lower some of the tariffs imposed by one another on some of their trade goods. China will lower its tariffs on Canadian agricultural products, while Canada will lower its tariff on up to 49,000 electric vehicles that are made in China. The Canadian government in 2024 placed tariffs on Chinese vehicles in 2024 in a coordinated effort with the United States.” (01/24/26)
