Although there are no signs of negotiations for a broad trade agreement between Canada and China, Donald Trump has stated that tariffs will be imposed if Canada reaches an "agreement" with China.
Redaksiya reports, citing The New York Times, that Trump's statement comes amid escalating trade relations between the two countries. This statement can be seen as a continuation of Trump's pronouncements on trade policy during his presidency.
Trump's stance is also considered a threat that could hinder the development of trade relations between Canada and China. This also draws attention as a factor that could affect the changes in US trade policy and its relations with other countries.
