Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Canada Over China Trade Deal

President Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian imports in response to Canada's new trade deal with China, which lowers tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for reduced import taxes on Canadian farm products.
