U.S. President Donald Trump warned he could impose heavy tariffs or curb trade with Europe if Canada becoming an EU associate member is deemed a hostile act.⁣ ⁣ Trump called the proposal "laughable" and criticized Canada as a trade partner. His comments followed EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposing associate membership for Canada, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney noted Ottawa seeks a unique alliance rather than full membership.⁣ ⁣ #trump #usa #canada #trade
