Carney walked into a trap.

Trump set him up perfectly and now he’s applying more pressure.

First Trump raised a lot of tariffs on Canada by 50%.

Now he’s banning a Canadian airplane manufacturer.

Trump Truth Social:

“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump can do this all day. He can keep crushing their economy by upping the ante.

Carney made a huge mistake and doesn’t even realize it yet.

Do you remember what Carney did when Trump was demanding that Canada make a new trade deal and lower their tariffs on American imports?

“China and Canada reached a wide-ranging agreement to lower trade barriers and rebuild ties, signaling a pivot in Canadian foreign policy and a break from alignment with President Donald Trump’s trade agenda.”

“Carney hailed his strategic partnership with Xi, touting the importance of their ties in the face of a “new world order.” This was a veiled reference to the global instability caused by President Trump’s foreign policy swings and disruptive trade agenda.”

Carney thought he was playing Xi against Trump. He thought he was gaining leverage.

Guess what?

Xi is about to come visit his good friend Trump.

Now let’s go back in history.

Anybody remember this big Canadian story from 2015?

“Canadian banks helping clients bend rules to move money out of China”

“Some Canadian banks allow wealthy Asian investors to skirt Chinese law by helping them bring in large amounts of money that is often used to buy real estate in Vancouver.
Financial institutions in the area have flagged more than 8,200 suspicious transactions since January, 2012, the year China began cracking down on citizens they suspect of corruption.”

Whose side do you think Xi is really on?

Trump or Carney?

Do you know what Xi has been doing in China since he became president?

“Only days into 2015, revelations continue to emerge from China on the anti-corruption front.
So far this year a powerful spy chief, the Nanjing party secretary and a top diplomat have been placed under investigation.
This suggests there will be no let-up in the campaign that has run relentlessly for two years under President Xi Jinping.”

So while Canada is helping corrupt CCP officials to smuggle their money out of China and launder it through luxury real estate, Xi is cracking down and arresting corrupt officials.

Even high up officials.

“By far the biggest tiger caught so far is Zhou Yongkang, the former security chief. He has been stripped of party membership and handed over to the judiciary.
Ma Jian is also a big tiger: he was in charge of China's intelligence operations.
Another tiger is Ling Jihua, once a top aide to former president Hu Jintao and a hopeful for even higher office.
General Xu Caihou is a big army tiger - he used to be a politburo member and vice-chairman of the military commission.
According to the party's discipline watchdog, in 2014 alone some 23,464 people were disciplined for violating the party's anti-corruption regulations, from all levels of the party and state apparatus.”

“When Wei Pengyuan, a senior Energy Ministry official, was taken away in May 2014, investigators found cash in his house totalling more than 200m yuan (roughly £20m).”

Carney has no leverage and will cave.
