US president Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if America’s northern neighbour goes ahead with its trade deal with China.

Mr Trump said in a social media post that if Canadian prime minister Mark 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.”
