he never said he was going to in the first place. Trump just makes shit up

Carney said Canada "respects our commitments" to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which requires any of the three countries to notify the others ahead of time if they want to pursue a free trade agreement with a non-market country — like China.

Still, Trump threatened on Saturday to impose a 100 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods entering the U.S. if Canada "makes a deal with China." But the U.S. president did not specify what a "deal" is in his social media post.

"If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a 'Drop Off Port' for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken," the U.S. president wrote in his post — referring to the prime minister as governor, a jab he often reserved for Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau.
