Carney says Canada not pursuing free trade deal with China as Trump threatens 100% tariffs ​  

Summary

Canada has no intention of pursuing a free trade deal with China, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney. This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Canada makes a deal with Beijing. The two countries recently concluded a preliminary agreement, lowering tariffs on select goods, which Trump previously supported.
