Prime minister Carney affirms no intention to pursue a free trade agreement with China, following Mr. Trump's threat of 100% tariffs on Canada.

On 24/1, US President Donald Trump announced he would impose 100% import tariffs on Canada if the country reached a trade agreement with China.

US officials believe Canada will "regret" its decision to allow the import of up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles under a new trade agreement with Beijing.

Prime Minister Carney hails a "new strategic partnership" during his meeting with President Xi, marking the first visit by a Canadian leader to China in eight years.
