On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump threatened Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney with a steep 100% tariff if he follows through on a recent deal with communist China.

“If Governor 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,” the president wrote on Truth Social.

Notably, Trump mockingly referred to the PM as “Governor Carney,” as the president has repeatedly said in the past that he’d like to turn Canada into the 51st state of the U.S. — a proposition Carney very much did not like.

“China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump continued. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.”

On Friday, Carney announced a new Canada-China trade deal that partially rolls back tariffs on both sides. Under the agreement, Canada will allow a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles to enter the country at reduced tariffs, while China will significantly cut or pause tariffs on major Canadian agricultural exports like canola, seafood, and peas.

Carney called the deal “historic and productive.”

Trump’s threat for a 100% tariff follows drama at the World Economic Forum. Carney criticized the U.S. for its ambition to purchase Greenland, sparking a tough response from Trump.

“I watched your prime minister yesterday,” Trump said on Wednesday. “He wasn’t so grateful, but they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States.”

“Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements,” he continued.

“All we want from Denmark for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay is this land on which we’re going to build the greatest golden dome ever built,” said Trump.

“We’re building a golden dome that’s going to, just by its very nature, going to be defending Canada. Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way,” the president added. “They should be grateful also, but they’re not.”

Some 9,000 flights set for this weekend have already been canceled in anticipation of Winter Storm Ferm.

The storm, which meteorologists say could cause as much damage as a hurricane, will likely knock out power and impede travel both in the sky and on the roads for millions.

Currently, there are about 140 million Americans under a winter storm warning, ranging from New Mexico to New England.

The Weather Channel, though, says that ultimately 230 million people could be affected by Winter Storm Fern. More than a dozen states have already issued states of emergency, it noted.

“Take this storm seriously, folks,” the National Weather Service posted to X on Saturday. “Moderate to major impacts are expected from the Central US through to the Northeast today through the weekend.”

The NWS said to expect “hazardous to impossible driving conditions” and urged folks in affected areas to “avoid travel if at all possible.”

“Widespread closures and disruption to infrastructure may also occur,” it added. “Stay weather aware.”

The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore told The Daily Wire on Friday that much of the country will experience three different types of precipitation from the storm: snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

“In Dallas, they’re gonna have multiple precipitation types,” he said. “They’re going to start to snow, maybe go to freezing rain, and then end with the snow again. Nashville starts to snow, sleet, freezing rain, then ends as snow or freezing drizzle. Washington, D.C., starts to snow, heavy snow, goes to sleet, then freezing rain, maybe even a little rain just east of D.C., and then back to cold behind this cold front.”

Ice, though, could be the most dangerous form of precipitation.

“You can have power loss with a 1/4 inch of ice,” Cantore explained. “You can get more extensive power loss with a 0.5-inch [of ice]. Severe widespread power loss with 3/4 of an inch, and once you get over one inch of ice, now you’re talking about bringing the lines down and trees down.”
