Is Trump furious about new trade agreements of Europe and Canada with India and China?

Yes, President Trump and his administration have expressed significant anger and disappointment regarding recent trade agreements involving Europe, Canada, India, and China.

 

His reactions, primarily shared on Truth Social, include direct threats of punitive tariffs:

• Canada & China: Trump is particularly incensed by Canada's agreement to lower tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. He warned that if Canada uses itself as a "Drop Off Port" for Chinese goods to sneak into the U.S., he will immediately hit all Canadian products with a 100% tariff. He further claimed China would "eat Canada alive".
• European Union & India: The Trump administration has slammed the landmark India-EU Free Trade Agreement (dubbed the "mother of all deals"). U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the deal "very disappointing," accusing the EU of prioritizing commercial interests over its support for Ukraine, given India's ongoing purchases of Russian oil.
• Broader Escalation: Following these deals, Trump has expanded his trade war with Canada, recently threatening a 50% tariff on all Canadian-made aircraft (targeting companies like Bombardier) until Canada certifies U.S.-built Gulfstream jets.
• Analysts suggest these international agreements are a deliberate attempt by allies to "de-risk" and diversify their economies away from an unpredictable U.S. trade policy
