Trump Warns Canada: China Deal Means US Action, End of Ice Hockey

• US President Donald Trump warned Canada against pursuing a trade agreement with China, threatening "very substantial" action if Ottawa proceeds.
• Trump stated that a deal with China would lead to China taking over Canada and, humorously, ending ice hockey.
• He previously threatened 100 percent tariffs on Canada if it moved forward with a Beijing deal.
• Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified that Canada has no intention of making a deal with Beijing and respects its commitments under the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement.
• Under the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement, member countries must inform others before pursuing a free trade deal with a non-market country like China.

Why It Matters: Trump warns Canada against a China trade deal, threatening US action and tariffs, while Canada denies any such plans.
