What was achieved was resolution on several important tariff issues,&#8221; said Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-US Trade, said on Saturday in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>US-Canada tensions have grown in recent days following Carney&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s pursuit of Greenland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE PRESSURE ON CANADIAN INDUSTRIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump on Saturday suggested China would try to use Canada to evade US tariffs. &#8220;If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a &#8216;Drop Off Port&#8217; for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,&#8221; Trump said, using a title for Carney that refers to Trump&#8217;s past calls for Canada to become the 51st US state.<\/p>\n<p>In a second Saturday post, Trump said, &#8220;The last thing the World needs is to have China take over Canada. It\u2019s NOT going to happen, or even come close to happening!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Trump makes good on Saturday&#8217;s threat, the new tariff would greatly increase US duties on its northern neighbor, adding pressure to Canadian industrial sectors such as metal manufacturing, autos and machinery.<\/p>\n<p>Relations between Carney and Trump seemed relatively placid until the Canadian leader this week spoke out forcefully against Trump&#8217;s pursuit of Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>Carney subsequently at the World Economic Forum called on nations to accept that a rules-based global order was over and pointed to Canada as an example of how &#8220;middle powers&#8221; might act together to avoid being victimized by American hegemony.<\/p>\n<p>Carney, during his speech in Davos, Switzerland, did not directly call out Trump or the United States by name.<\/p>\n<p>However, the prime minister argued that \u201cmiddle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many world leaders and industry titans present at the Switzerland confab responded with a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>Trump shot back in his own Davos speech and said Canada \u201clives because of the United States,\u201d a statement that Carney rejected on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security and in rich cultural exchange,&#8221; Carney said in Quebec. &#8220;Canada doesn&#8217;t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Trump has dug in against Canada, revoking its invitation to his Board of Peace that he wants to deal with international conflicts and Gaza\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>After Carney\u2019s election last year, Trump and Carney shared a congenial tone. &#8220;I think the relationship is going to be very strong,\u201d Trump said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump this month dismissed the mega trade deal between the United States, Canada, and Mexico \u2014 up for renegotiation in July \u2014 as \u201cirrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has issued many tariff threats since returning to the presidency, though in several cases he has paused them or relented entirely during negotiations. This week, Trump backed off his recent threat to impose stiff tariffs on European allies after the NATO chief and other leaders promised to step up security in the Arctic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; WASHINGTON (Web Desk) US President Donald Trump said on Saturday he would impose a 100% tariff on<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-world-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159.jpg",880,495,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159-768x432.jpg",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159.jpg",640,360,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159.jpg",880,495,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159.jpg",880,495,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159-825x495.jpg",825,495,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/931474_49709159-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/category\/breaking-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Breaking<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/category\/world-news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">World<\/a>","tag_info":"World","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31\/revisions\/35"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/voiceofrussia.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
