Dumb move, Trudeau. Trump doesn't fear measured responses; he's not a normal person. He only understands if you hit him back much harder than he hits you. \nCanada should NOT impose retaliatory counter tariffs that harm CANADIANS (Or do like China and impose 75% Tariffs on US items Canada can easily buy elsewhere). Rather, Canada should shut the OIL spigot and cancel electric feeds into the USA. RIGHT NOW. THAT would have the required effect and NOT HARM Canadians.

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

Carney intimidates Trump….Carney knows all the right people who can pressure trump’s financial supporters. This ain’t over. Plus, it would piss trump off to have to talk to someone who is light years more intelligent and more respected globally . The second Carney walks into any room in Washington, he is literally the smartest guy there…

i dont agree with trump but if canada thinks they can play, then im game? screw tredeau. \n\nmexicos president is right tho? sorry mexico

This is Trump’s plan to bring a right wing government in Canada in the next elections. The moment, he has his friends elected, he will drop the tariffs.

Hard, but right decision. Trump will loose partners, businesses and trigger inflation in the USA

Tariffs are gathered by the US Treasury, and Trump is in power to enrich himself by taking from the world's biggest financial reserve right in front of everyone, just like last time.

Trump's lifelong love for tariffs is not economically driven but to wield power. In most power plays in the private sector he got away with it and was able to stiff subcontractors and business partners with less resources and less criminal energy than himself. I hope other countries won't budge and give from the start the right answer to this wannabe fascist power drunken criminal.

As an American, I didn't vote for this clown. What Trump is doing right now is showing the world that the US\nis getting weaker and is in decline. He is using his bullying politics with Tariffs that are harming his Ally\nin Canada and Mexico. This will backfire. Both Canada and Mexico can join BRICS, and flip the US the finger.\nWhy? BRICS is cheaper and more profitable. The US dollar is worth less now and is declining as we speak.\nThis is a sign of weakness and desperate measures.

Unfortunately, even if Trump has to back down and gets absolutely nothing out of this charade, he'll claim victory, and his supporter will claim it was all a brilliant negotiation strategy. (Remember, facts never matter to the American right-wing.)

Trumps not talking with JTs ppl because he knows he has no real power right now and it’s a waste of his time if Justin cares about Canada at all they would let n election happen today

Trump must be trembling with the new counter tariffs - he ddin't see that coming right..?

The money announced was over six years and then he shut down Parliament so he couldn’t even pass the bill. Trump is right to be pissed.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

Canada's economy is already on the decline. Trump picked the right time to hammer Canada as it has never been so divided after 10 years of inept governance by a totally inept woke Marxist government led by Trudeau.

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

This interesting is Donald trump giving united states' America back to native American Indian people that be so appropriate to do the right thing to do give back there native country back to them

All bs. Trump is right on this\n As for these muppets that aren't happy with how there born then thats your issue not the sane folks with a brain

CNN is a joke, Trump is right.

What is wrong with these people? Do they think they have the right to make Americans' taxpayers feed them? Go Trump, clean them all, we need houses for Americans, not ilegal people.

Trump is right on this issue. CNN is nuts.

This is why we put trump up there. WE THE PEOPLE live here this is our country and we have the absolute right to say no to this foolishness. All these people sre coming for benefits, easy lifestyle. Nope, not anymore jack.

CONSPIRATORIAL INSANITY IS CAUSING THIS..... DONALD TRUMP'S FAT MOUTH... Fostering Rambo tactics.... Sociopathic insanity..... To rectify a very delicate complicated problem.... What percentage of these people do we have in our country? How many dogs do we have in our country? How many rats do we have in the country spreading diseases?....... Maybe one with just the right problem can cause a whole lot worse?....... Diseased thinking in our minds..... Bread by Donald Trump's mouth

Why do those of us on the political left keep allowing those on the political right to dictate the terms of public conversations, even when we have the facts on our side? It is estimated that 1.7% of the world population is biologically intersex. That's roughly the same as the percentage of the world population that is naturally redheaded. Trump's executive order states that the US government only recognizes two biological sexes.  This means that as far as the US government is concerned, biologically intersex people don't exist. This is analogous to having an executive order saying redheads do not exist.  It's nonsense.  So, why aren't biologists from all over the country pointing this out? The percentage of the world population that identifies as transgender is at most 0.6%.  So why are we talking about transgender people when there is a larger group of people that Trump's executive order discriminates against?  Here's why: because folks on the left insist on allowing those on the right to set the terms of almost every debate we have in this country and folks on the right are happy to ignore intersex people (whose existence conclusively establish that their views are false) and those of us on the left stupidly follow their example in doing so. If we are serious about protecting trans people, we need to be smart about this. Let us reframe the public debate to focus on intersex people.  This will make exposing the lunacy of Trump's executive order much easier when engaging a general public that is too ignorant, lazy, and indifferent to educate themselves about trans people. So, let's help out the lazy ignorant masses by adopting a simpler (and more science-based) approach to the debate over whether there are two biological sexes by making the simple, scientifically sound observation that biological sex is bimodal, not a binary.  And not amount of executive orders can ever change that fact.

Trump is not wrong at all for doing this its Ashley the right thing to do to fix this economy

Trump is right

ATTEMPTED ?????? you are seeing this right now cause they just can't help themselves using these people as pawns to make Trumps policies look bad. Hoping for some front page pictures of poor little Migrants getting pepper sprayed.. when they are trying to enter illegally ! It's disgusting. When are you left braindead fools gonna wake up and see what they are doing?

We can’t just keep letting people come in like before. It is not safe for the American people. These are law breakers. Trump is doing his best to stop law breakers from infiltrating Americas borders.there is a right way to enter any country.

Why are we seening this right now? Because Trump is in office.

Because Trump enacted the law for them to stay particularly Venezuelans right before he left office.. look it up

The only reason you're seeing this right now is because the media was hiding or downplaying it the whole 4 years Biden was in office , and only a problem worth showing to make it seem like it's Trump's fault?

It dehumanizes them. I am a conservative and I can tell you now. TRUMP is not a conservative. He is a populist nationalist who uses the imagery of the Reagans, almost like dress up. He makes people hyper focus on cultural issues such a transgenders and immigrants, so that you do not focus on him building a freaking oligarchy authoritarian regime that is breaking down the democracy of your country. He only rewards the elite loyal friends. He is building a protective wall of billionaires who are leading AI technology. He only awards the wealthy. Instead of the Jews he is focusing on Transgender people. He's not infaltrating education. He divides Americans. John McCain warned about his plans for years, the last years o his life he was warning people what Trump was up to, he saw right through Trump and that is why trump would say offensive things about McCain.

Sorry, guys, but I do agree with Donald Trump. We need to do something about everyone coming into our country. Illegals into our country and I did say. Illegals, we should be supportive and even whenever they come into our country. They should have a job they should pay for their own food. Nobody gave me a handout. I want to know why I have to pay for them a hand out. American people are sick of it are just d*** right sick of I say send them back. Where they belong, we can't afford to get our own homeless off. The sthree we should be working on earth. Not anybody else but us. And I'm talking about no other country. We should be working on getting our homeless office. Detroit built more housing for our homeless people. Are homeless are poor people that need jobs too

I’m Mexican American and voted for this it’s time the Democrats start to tell the truth , it’s not about race it’s about accountability and doing things the right way , Thank you president Trump ?? MAGA ??

Trump to recognise Somaliland soon. Somaliland people want their sovereignty over their country back from illegal Europe, China, Russia and Arab people denial of our right.

Trump is ? percent right for this one God Bless America ❤

Trump is absolutely right. This is fucking nonsense

This brings so much joy to see all these would b illegals throwing adult temper tantrums becuz they cannot enter my country Illegally n collect a free financial ride. They r swarming n panicking like a bunch of rats they r. Trump warned them not to come n now they must turn around and come back the right way. Look at the way they r carrying on. Are these the type of people u want in our country

This is the deal! Trump is president and this is what hate and discontent looks like so there is nothing to be done. There are laws! And it is clear the people enforcing them are not doing their jobs right and wrong. When a law is broken it is ignored when a law should be enforced it is… nothing can be or will be done so turn and walk away.. is all

That's right, his sure is.. Thank you, President Trump

Trump is dumb. He has to learn to move a little quiter. There was a time the promised to close Gitmo fully as a human rights violation. Then folks forgot, and now, with this, they'll remember again, and everyone is going to start screaming terrorists rights again.

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

Thank you, President Trump. Serving is not a right. Meet requirements or leave.

Trump is right.

I lost my best friend. Not the only one. Sad AF. Whoever is spreading the lies that trans people are raping and attacking people, is just outright evil. And ya frankly, peoples business is their business. If doesn’t affect you, if you don’t have firsthand experience being raped and attacked, stop having an opinion. You are not ENTITLED to ignorant opinions. You, and everyone else, are entitled to human rights. Stop inciting violence on each other every time trump makes shit up to trickyou in to taking your money.

Trump is right

No no no. Trump never used the words IRREGULAR migration. This is why the AFD is on the rise. It's thanks to news outlets like you, afraid to say the truth, that Trump was talking about illegals.\n\n4:56 Oh, no, poor illegals will have to live in fear. DW is a joke, this is fuels the far right, this kind if journalism got Trump elected too. The people had enough of this brave new world you are pushing

These migrants are so entitled. They believe they have the right to illegally enter a country and force themselves in. Thank God for Trump

Thank you mister trump for defendin our nation against ?internal threat to our sovereignty and our right to have good paying jobs

We all need to stay in our own country, but if you came to America the right way then those people are safe..but if you snuck in our country..SHAME ON YALL..\nPRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS ,Y'ALL AIN'T GO TO GO HOME, BUT YOU GOT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF AMERICA
