‘I will put serious tariffs’: Trump warns Europe if Canada becomes ‘associate member’ of EU

Donald Trump threatens “very serious tariffs” and a possible trade halt with Europe over Canada’s proposed EU associate membership. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen backs deeper Canada-EU ties in defence, energy, technology and critical minerals as Mark Carney pushes a “unique alliance.” Trump calls the Canada-EU proposal “laughable” and warns Europe of major trade consequences if he considers the move a hostile act.
