In turn, Canada will import 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) under new, preferential tariffs of 6.1 percent.The deal came amid a US-Canada trade war, with the Trump administration imposing import duties on its northern neighbor.When Bessent was asked to clarify whether Washington would make good on a threat made by Trump on Saturday to impose tariffs of 100 percent on Canadian imports, the Treasury chief replied: &quot;There&#x27;s possibility of 100-percent tariffs if they do a free trade deal.&quot;He added that the new tariffs would be imposed &quot;if they go further, if we see that the Canadians are allowing the Chinese to dump goods.&quot;Trump himself took to his Truth Social platform Sunday to comment on the negotiations between Ottawa and Beijing, writing: &quot;China is successfully and completely taking over the once Great Country of Canada. So sad to see it happen.&quot;&quot;I only hope they leave Ice Hockey alone!&quot; he added, in reference to Canada&#x27;s national sport.
