TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday his country has no intention of pursuing a free trade deal with China. He was responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America's northern neighbor went ahead with a trade deal with Beijing.
Carney said his recent agreement with China merely cuts tariffs on a few sectors that were recently hit with tariffs.
Trump claims otherwise, posting that "China is successfully and completely taking over the once Great Country of Canada. So sad to see it happen. I only hope they leave Ice Hockey alone! President DJT"
The prime minister said under the free trade agreement with the U.S. and Mexico there are commitments not to pursue free trade agreements with nonmarket economies without prior notification.

Oh No the Chinese Communist Party will harvest Carney’s organs

Trumps a Rockstar.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He is China compromised. Deals are already made. The deal is Carney will do what China tells him. Trump needs to keep the pressure up and beat their Canadian asses.
LOL!
They will trash his testicles though.
Wow. Is that not the fastest capitulation and walk back ever by a weasel politician?
Carney must have some smarts after all.

Carney is lying, again.
China will attack via Canada with military ROBOTS.

Guess who’s gonna be the looser in this deal ?
He is the definitive liar. Don’t believe a single word he says, including and, and the.
He’s a carpetbagging Euro-weenie with a WEF agenda.
OT: Rumors attempted military coup or skirmish in China.
Annex Alberta and Saskatchewan. Give them Minnesota and Chicago. Now that is a good deal for the USA.
Ah, the same trade that President Trump commented about:
“Well, that’s OK, that’s what you should be doing. I mean, it’s a good thing for him to sign a trade deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that, right?” - President Trump 01/15/26.
China had approx. $280 billion dollar trade surplus with the US (in 2025).
China had approx. $ 7 billion dollar trade surplus with Canada (in 2025).

Seems that the US is importing more goods from China. Canada’s affect on the US in that regard appears minimal.
