US vs Canada - New Conflict fantasy 2026: Updates and Discussion

[Watandar]

I'm glad you can see by your reaction that even biased Chinese AI says your interpretation of the US compared to Asia is incorrect.

I'm still in my home country..what is your excuse for fleeing yours.

American foreign policy of war, insurgencies, coups and supporting autocrats, that's among the reasons we had to "flee".

Interesting - Europeans seem to be preferring Canada over the US.





Let's join EU baby!



Trump Threatens Canada with 100% Tariff over China deal.

A 100% tariff on Canada isn't a bill sent to Ottawa; it’s a bill sent to every American home.

In 2025, the U.S. imported roughly $400 Billion in goods from Canada. A 100% tariff would effectively:

Instant Tax Hike: Slap a $400 Billion annual tax on U.S. businesses—costs that are passed directly to you at the register.

Gas & Heat: Canada is our #1 energy source. Expect a massive spike in gas prices and home heating bills.

Inflation Shock: Economists estimate this could surge U.S. inflation by 1.5% to 2% almost overnight.

Car Prices: With parts crossing the border 7x during assembly, "American-made" cars would become unaffordable for the average family.

This is a self-inflicted wound to the American pocketbook



I see many posts about the “majority of Americans” being opposed to what Trump is doing.

I’m sorry but I can’t agree.

I love the many American friends/family I have, but truth is:
the MAJORITY of voted for him, TWICE
And the MAJORITY in is now SILENT
The MAJORITY in is COMPLACENT
And this is threatening our, and the rest of the world’s security!!

So AMERICA, I’m sorry, but you have a democratic system and you are responsible for this new world DISORDER!!

[respect to those protesting in freezing conditions in Minneapolis.. the rest of America should watch and learn!!]

AI has not been to places where I have visited and worked , seen hatred that I have seen and experienced ….

Canada isn't shifting its policies anytime soon, to the delight of some, according to Carney's speech at Davos. This is just one example of who holds the leash in the relationship.

China says Canada deal does not target the US after Trump tariff threat​

Chinese officials said a recent trade agreement with Canada is not meant to undercut other countries, after Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Canadian products if Canada finalises the "deal" with Beijing.

"It does not target any third party," China's foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday of the new "strategic partnership" between Canada and China.

Trump threatened the tariffs in a Truth Social post over the weekend, and warned in subsequent posts that China is "successfully and completely taking over" Canada.

In response, Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that Canada is not pursuing a free-trade deal with China and has "never" considered it.
He added that Canadian officials have made their position clear to their American counterparts.

The deal agreed upon between Ottawa and Beijing would lower levies on Canadian canola oil from 85% to 15% by March, while Canada will tax a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles, or EVs, at the most-favoured-nation rate, 6.1% – down from 100%.

Jiakun said at a routine news conference on Monday that China views the deal as one that "serves the common interests of the people of both countries".

"China believes countries need to approach state-to-state relations in the spirit of win-win rather than the mentality of zero-sum," he said.

Trump's tariff threat surprised some in Canada, as it appeared to be a reversal from his previously stated position that a Canada-China deal is "a good thing".

US will have ‘very substantial’ response if Canada enacts trade deal with China: Trump​

Carney praised new US-China trade deal in Beijing; Trump warns of serious consequences

US President Donald Trump on Saturday said the United States would respond in a significant way if Canada proceeds with ‌the trade ‌agreement that ‌it ⁠negotiated with ‌China.

“If they do a deal with China, yeah, we’ll do something very substantial,” Trump told ⁠reporters aboard Air Force ‌One. “We don’t want ‍China ‍to take over ‍Canada. And if they make the deal that he’s looking to make, China will take over Canada.”

Trump ⁠last week said he would impose a 100 per cent tariffs on Canada if it follows through on a trade deal with China.

A week ago, US President Donald Trump on warned Canada that if it concludes a trade deal with China, he will impose a 100 per cent tariff on all goods coming over the border.

Relations between the United States and its northern neighbor have been rocky since Trump returned to the White House a year ago, with spats over trade and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney decrying a "rupture" in the US-led global order.

During a visit to Beijing last week, Carney hailed a "new strategic partnership" with China that resulted in a "preliminary but landmark trade agreement" to reduce tariffs — but Trump warned of serious consequences should that deal be realised.

If 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," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Canada trade tribunal rescinds order on Chinese solar modules, laminates - pv magazine Global

Canada's trade tribunal has terminated a five-year review of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese solar modules and laminates, rescinding the order after finding the review lacked domestic-producer support.

www.pv-magazine.com

Canada’s trade tribunal has terminated a five-year review of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese solar modules and laminates, rescinding the order after finding the review lacked domestic-producer support.

A Sept. 17 press release confirms the outcome but does not detail the tribunal’s reasoning. Under Canada’s Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), the CITT can terminate an expiry review at any point if it finds the review lacks support from domestic producers – inferred when producers fail to file notices of participation or don’t participate substantially. In such cases, the tribunal issues an order rescinding the underlying measure. Its full reasons, typically published separately, were not available at the time of writing.

The order’s removal comes as Canada’s solar sector navigates a separate set of trade pressures from its southern neighbor. In August, new US tariffs on Canadian goods, including 50% duties introduced that month, had added further uncertainty for Canadian solar developers, with one Alberta-based installer noting that US policy shifts were increasingly shaping investment decisions on the Canadian side of the border.
