Canadian here. The tariffs will hurt. And this may just be the beginning of a sprawling trade war, but make no mistake, Canada is not for sale, and Canada, despite its soft spoken nature, is determined to keep going on its own way. We have free trade with the EU and Pacific nations. For any US companies who find themselves caught up in tariffs for their export markets, consider setting up your export shop here, to keep your Canadian customers, and continue to have access to European and Asian markets under free trade agreements that are respected, and operate independently of any decision made by President Trump. Businesses need predictability and stability, and your neighbors to the north can provide that to all of your export markets.

Tariffs stick around for decades and the entire cost of them is passed onto the consumer. Ridiculous by both nations.

Trudeau had a great speech to the nation like a true Statesman.

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

It's only a matter of time before America pushes every country right into arms of The BRICS Nations. You can BET THE FARM if Canada and Mexico join BRICS China, Russia, and other countries will be invited to set up shop right on the Rio Grande in the South and Niagara Falls on the Northern border of the United States. America will LITERALLY BE SURROUNDED. If Panama feels threatened they will join BRICS for protection as will Greenland and every other nation on earth INCLUDING other international port locations. This is a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions to the US economy if the US loses the privilege to be served at just a couple of the strategically placed locations. This will hyper accelerate the balance of WORLD POWER from America to The BRICS GLOBAL MAJORITY and completely dismantle the influence of the UN. THEY WILL SANCTION AMERICA!!! Even Israel would abandon America once that happens because the money source would dry up in less than a couple years. BRICS now OUTGUNS America in GDP, PURCHASING POWER, AND MILITARY STRENGTH! They're are nearly 70% of the WORLD POPULATION (and growing) which means a draft is virtually GUARANTEED if ww3 erupts. China has just PUT THE WORLD ON NOTICE they are AHEAD BY GENERATIONS in AI, EV's, and technology FULL STOP! Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, etc... have to be asking themselves is it worth it being Americas FOOLS???

Trump's rationale of the border security issue to Canada is totally false as less than 1 percent of drugs and illegals come through Canada. Trump is just being a bully to try to get his way on tariffs for what he thinks is an economic decision to improve the USA. Unfortunately he is again wrong as Americans and Canadians will pay a lot more for goods and Trump will cause more inflation, ruin companies and many job losses across both nations.

Hope our EU leaders and all the other nations will react the same way if americans impose tarrifs on us. New evil was born in the US.

If you do the math and see who purchases what from who, this is heavily in favour of the US. Yes, both countries will hurt but it will hurt Canada a lot more - this is just going from national statistics for trade dependencies.

In this issues, Negotiation are for cowards. Politician with no spine, honor, and no sense of nationalism should be kicked out of office. This is about action!!!

We are a nation of immigrants who left our families behind when we moved

Follow the Law and enter with legal Dokumentations to countries that are open for immigration. If you are seeking to enter as a refugee, use those correct documents. \nAlso best if Muslims go to other Muslim nations, and Christians to Christian Nations, as it is hard enough to relocate into foreign nations and their cultures! God bless you!

I don’t know who those people think they are. The United States doesn’t owe them anything. Get out and stay out. Abba - We the People do NOT consent to ANY illegal migrants entering our nation at all - EVER. Please forbid and bar them from entering our nation except through legal means. In the Holy Name of\nJesus Christ of Nazareth.

The Cartels supply pharmaceutical companies , why not legalize them in your Country and enrich your Nation?

The Democrat party must cease to exist, in the United States of America, they are the enemies of our country ,this is insanity, brought by Barack Hussain Obama, the Obama Nation of Desolation. Purposely.

I'm glad this person has had an easy time of things but I imagine being transgender would take up a fair bit of your attention and priority, Having to continuously prevent your body reverting to its default appearance. I think the assumption would be your head wouldn't be in the job as much as a bloke who take 4 mins to shower, does twenty push-ups, laces up his boots and gets to work. It's a practicality thing. Why would the armed forces of any nation, have time for trans members when they can just not deal with them? Efficiency is paramount to them. Not kindness and inclusion.

It doesn’t matter what nationality you are , as long as you have entered the country illegally you should be deported .

Everyone needs to remember there is legal immigration and illegal immigration. President Trump’s wife is from Slovenia now a US citizen, while the Vice President Vance ‘s wife’s family would have originated from the Indian Sub Continent. American Nationality is a social construct you either qualify for it or you don’t. I don’t understand these individuals who enter a country illegally or legally and over stay the period stamped on their Passport. If you are stamped for 28 days you stay for no more than 28 days if on a 6 month visa you stay no longer than the visa. \n\nIt is what I would expert if I went to any other country, unless you are invading in the armed services of a country and you would be seen as an invader by that country, anyone who enters a country illegally or over stays their passport time is an invader and should be treated the same way and expelled.

Massallah! Now please take a few thousand Muslims with you! Is that islamaphobic? No! It is not a Hate for the people. Just as you don't want different ideologies around you, you want to be amongst your people, so do others. People want to be in Communities of like minded people. \n\nHatred for Islam? Over the past 50 years, terror, taking over neighborhoods, pushing the majority Christian host nations to conform to their standards, etc. Hate for muslims begins to brew. Foreigners not assimilating. Look at stats for crime in Europe.\n\nSo bravo ?! Go in peace. Please!

I'm sorry that you were lied to by Democrats who were planning on using you for votes. They are criminals, and your entry without permission is illegal. \n\nThey don't care about you. They ONLY want to use you so they can stay in power. However, their desire isn't to keep America the beautiful place it was created to be. They reject the Lord who inspired our FOUNDING FATHERS, and they want America to become a godless nation. \n\nWork on your own nations and build them into righteous communities that serve the Lord. This is the path to true prosperity and true wealth. \n\nYou DO NOT want to live in an America run by DEMOCRATS who owned slaves. You do NOT want to live in a godless nation, or a godless world!

U.s is going to become a white nation only

Poland has allegedly shot illegals who were trying to invade Poland. I believe all sovereign nations right to protect their borders with lethal force if needed. I was watching the news of illegals on the U.S. southern border while standing in the Rio Grande river which separates the U. S. and Mexico shooting rifles at U.S. observation drones, while the 3 males of military age attempted to invade the U.S. I believe our drones should now have the ability to return fire if attacked. Congress needs to fund the wall now.

Deportation of illegal status foreign nationals shouldn't be newsworthy, all countries have immigration laws.

I’m pretty sure he said ALL MIGRANT REGARDLESS OF NATIONALITY!!! Send them all back!!

Sadly their is only one way to stop this and that means whatever force is necessary. This is extremely dangerous to our nation as we have already had one 9/11 to many and this will lead to another.

God created two genders, male and female, not transsexual. Any military that is filled with people perverse to the way God created them, is not a military blessed by God, and a military not blessed by God is a dangerously weak failure. This fallen world is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --\n\n Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

Here in California I have met many wonderful Indian nationals; however, many assist and support the concept of illegally immigrating to the US. One woman I know, from Delhi, married one guy then divorced him, and then within a year married and divorced another man. Does anyone care about the trauma and fact this is called grifting, basically criminal fraud for a green card. She was on her thrid target when I had to stop knowing her. There are allot of Indian nationals here involved with many shady businesses, doing crime here is acting as a parasite - something easy to do as people genuinely like Indian people. Also California now has anti caste discrimination laws, the only state in the US, that should tell you allot about their integrity.

usa has estimated 50 million illegals from 180 different nations, your criminal government did this , and the un and puppet politicians and billionaire and trillionaire oligarchs, and nobility scum

Doesn't matter where you are from!!!!!!\nIf u are illegal immigrant and broke immigration and nationality act....\nGet the f.... O

Racism...BLM....anti national, human rights violation.... slavery mentality....but want Free asylum benefits....???

Although, I don’t like trump! This should be a regular thing under all presidents. No way people that come here illegally should be sleeping comfortably! This should be a national security threat!

I thought Trump was able to do something about this. Where are the military and national guards???\nDifficult to control such a big group, worst, if they are all able to escape and get in.

Dude, fuck it give them some heavy firearms. Bring the National Guard down there. Make sure they do not come into our country.

What the US is telling the world is all the power that 194 nations worldwide have given to one; our dependance and how much the US wants to be left alone in juxtaposition to how badly the world needs to leave the US on its own. Less conflict however you want to see it.

They are just going to come here and wave their flag. Anyone who comes here their national alliance is to America. The way you get here is the way you keep marching. Forward with your old country behind you, not carrying it on your shoulders with pride. We have some Americans we can send with you!!!! There should be some kind of mass moving out since trump won. Politics ????? now the blue side or left side whatever it's called. They are trying to get people to swear in open court not to do the exact same things they have been doing. ??????

DONIAL TRUMP IS A BLESSING TO AFRICA, AFRICANS DONT NEED TO BE IN AMERICA. THE LORD TOLD ABRAHAM YOUR DECENDANCES WILL BE ENSLAVE BY A NATION AND AFTERWORD HE SHALL JUDGE THAT NATION, IT WAS THE RED SEA ,\nIN REVELATION CHAPTER 18 THERE IS ANOTHER JUDGEMENT ON A NATION.

Yes. We voted for our nation leaders to protecting our safety, our economic policies, our national security. \nThey came with hidden agendas that not aligned with our traditional values. \nThey came working under-tables, not paying fair taxes, they laundering money back to theirs motherland, they took the benefits from our natural American citizens.

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

Finally a Democratically elected Nation Leader doing his job

It seem that the biggest issue on the planet is really trying to find solutions to an over populated burden that comes from the one nation that never stops the interbreeding of there own bloodlines.

I dont care where you are from. You have no right to invade the borders of a sovereign nation in a day and age of t*rrorism and take money, jobs and opportunities created by an entirely different nation of people FOR THEMSELVES and their children. Its funny when it comes to trees or fossil fuels or ozone, name it, liberals think we have limited resources but when it comes to land, housing, jobs, welfare etc. those resources are UNLIMITED for illegal criminals so some useless lib loser can virtue signal.

Charity starts at home, USA look after the Americans and other nations look after themselves. Starts by not let they politics ruin their country.

Americans in foreign nations should start to pack their bags as well.

Reaches PEOPLE ON THE WORLD. Maybe we have to learn from Indian . \nThey leave for money pray for money . Not clean but it’s ok . Community deal only with Indian . Always asking for discount. But very Family nation ?

Personal feelings of a couple of individuals matter, really? Isn't it about the overall national interest?

Who cares? Most of the nation is over the bullshit. You should have taken the win when most people didnt care what you were. Shoving crap down everyones throat for years is why this is happening to you.

It's not about whether this one person in a nation of 330 million is qualified. It's about our 330 million strong nation's values, culture, traditions, religions, and what WORKS FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES.

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

I find it incredible it took another nation to light the fire what the citizens have been asking from out politicians....when Canadian got fed up with vehicle theft, our Politicians said...oh we're meeting with the manufacturers.....not one piece of legislation was passed forcing car makers to make auto theft more difficult....and if you are caught, you are released on bail and the thief is out stealing again.

Transgender persons have the problem of making their gender issues a priority. When I was in the US Army, national defense- and not personal issues or emotions- were the priority.

Tulsi Gabbard has no problem telling if she's a woman or not. She'll make a great director of national intelligence.
