Trump Threatens EU Trade Cuts Over Canada 'Link' Plan, Calls Canada 'Terrible' Partner

US President Trump has threatened to halt trade with the EU and impose 'very serious tariffs' if the EU proceeds with plans for closer cooperation with Canada, including Canada becoming an 'associated member' of the EU. This marks a significant escalation in transatlantic trade and diplomatic tensions, with the US viewing such a move as potentially 'hostile.' The EU maintains its partnership with Canada is not adversarial, while the specifics of Canada's 'associated membership' and the US's retaliatory measures remain uncertain.
