Trump SLAMS Canada With 100% Tariffs Because Of PM Carney

Trade Agreement Vulnerabilities

🎯 Q: What portion of US-Canada trade could lose tariff protection this year?

A: 75-90% of US-Canada trade currently operates under tariff-free provisions within CUSMA (North American trade deal), but these provisions are up for review this year, creating vulnerability to Trump's threatened 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods.

Strategic Negotiation Leverage

🔄 Q: How could Canada use the China deal as leverage in trade negotiations?

A: Political commentator Scott Reid suggests Canada's China deal, particularly regarding EVs, could become a bargaining chip in KUSMA discussions with Trump, serving as the first warning shot in negotiations.

Geopolitical Context

⚠️ Q: What domestic pressures are driving Trump's aggressive tariff threats?

A: Trump's threats coincide with falling approval ratings, a humiliating reversal at Davos over Greenland, and being repudiated on the world stage, framing his Canada comments within erratic behavior patterns.

Negotiation Positioning Risks

🚨 Q: What makes Canada's negotiation position uniquely weak compared to other nations?

A: Canada is the only country failing to make a deal with the US while Hamas, Iran, China, and Putin are eager to negotiate with Trump, despite Canada's close ties and shared land border with the US.

Diplomatic Reputation Impact

📉 Q: How does Canada's negotiation failure affect its international standing?

A: Canada's reputation is hurt by being the only country struggling to negotiate with the US, attributed to an elitist mindset that prevents deal-making despite geographical and historical advantages.

Tariff Trigger Conditions

💥 Q: What specific action would trigger Trump's 100% tariff threat?

A: Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada makes a deal with China, claiming China will devour Canada and destroy its businesses, social fabric, and way of life.

Trade Deal Leverage Dynamics

1. 🎯 Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada proceeds with China deal, while 75-90% of US-Canada trade currently operates under tariff-free provisions in CUSMA (not KUSMA) that are up for review this year.
2. 🔄 

   Trump's China deal objection, particularly regarding EVs, creates a bargaining chip that Canadian PM Carney can use as a chit to remove from the table during upcoming CUSMA negotiations.

Political Context and Pressure
