“If they do a deal with China, we’ll do something very substantial,” Trump said. “We don’t want China to take over Canada. And if they make the deal they’re looking to make, China will take over Canada.”
Last week, Trump said he would impose 100 percent tariffs on Canadian goods if Ottawa proceeds with the agreement, escalating trade tensions between the two countries.
