He say he hasn’t talked to Trump. Not that he’s calling him and he’s not picking up.

US is not a country to count on as ally ... lets just say the rest of the world should find allies elsewhere

Oh no, Jesus says if someone asks you to run a mile, you run 2 miles. Someone asks you for a coat, give him 2 coats. Someone asks you 25% tariff on you, give him 50%. Be generous, be kind, love one another. Do not retaliate. Do you hear me?

The US imports more than it exports so even if other countries put the same tariff % the US would still make money no? ?\nPeople saying 'we will stop buying US products' my question is what US products were you buying anyway? ?

Trump is a COMPULSIVE LIAR and a VERY BAD ONE at it.... This DEI hiring has been in affect since 2013 and also under trump in 2019 WHICH trump APPROVED of HIRING of people with disabilities, so NOTHING has been CHANGED. Nothing was changed or CHANGED bsck so what trump is saying is a COMPLETE LIE.. its on the FAA WEBSITE with trumps name right there that in 2019 trump APPROVED of DEI HIRING.....

All we can say is 200 billion dollars.

it worked the first time he instituted these tariffs in 2016, I suspect it will work again, because Canada and Mexico have no real leverage. they can say they will fight back with their own tariffs but its a losing game for them because, they are a luxury for us. we dont need them. they need us far more than we need them. and thats why despite grumbling they caved in last time. they will do the same, you just have to let them get it out of their system like a toddler and try and save face for a bit.

This happened in 2023 March their lying, it says it when you push on more

I don't like PM Trudeu but must say, he gives me a reason to respect him, I hope his commonsense will work now properly

But this will make people pay 25% more just only target the companies that are linked with Trump. Canada & Mexico China is saying Hello nothing more just hello.

Want u guys saying the Americans pay the money then why f..thwy need to retaliate south chi na morning now ff..put

The Bible contains many verses that warn against greed and the desire for riches. The Bible says that greed is a selfish desire for more, often money or power, that can lead to ruin.

Drill baby drill. You know Canada is in trouble and scared when they start talking about wars and 911. Canadians should say goodbye to their free healthcare to start with. USA will just do fine without Canada.

Well, cant stand justin. But... \n\nCanadian's have been hurting bad for a few years now. What's a few more. \n\nI say screw tariffs. Just shut it all off. Power, oil, movie production, soft lumber, maple syrup, ALL natural resources. \n\nJust dont sell it to them at all.\n\n\nBuild up our own infrastructure and become the global monster we should be.\n\nProudly Canadian!

So in other words mexico and canada are saying to the united states that they don't care how many people die of fentanyl. They just want.\n Retaliatory tarrif. Trump should raise the tariff to fifty percent immediately

Canada ?? strengthen even more the relationship with the EU ?? and remaining allies. We need to learn to not be overdependent on the USA at all levels! Then USA cannot moan that if it says to jump we don't ask how high!

There's a reataliatory clause saying such actions would force the US to hike the tariffs even higher

I don't like being threatened. I say we up the tarrifs to 50%. It's about sending a message.

Fentanyl, Madame President, All ears in the US to hear how we would address the flood of Fentanyl across our southern border. Mexico is corrupt, Cartels are more powerful than the government and military. Madame President doesn't want to Expire to soon by saying anything against the Cartels.

is Trudeau playing the 'my dad can beat up your dad', while stomping his foot? I love Canada, and Canadians are frankly, terrific. If this leader in all his years of bing PM has made one good decision, I'd say it is time to get yourself a new PM.

I support Canadian, mexican and US citizens in these horrible decisions by Trump. You will feel the effects shortly, i will feel it in a couple of months. This is utter nonsense - all because of one old angry inidividual who only has a few years left on earth. We, the citizens, must have more say in our future than Mr Trumps anger in his elder days!

I‘m sure there will be other countries that can replace Canada and Mexico imports. It’s an opportunity really. Canada and Mexico just need to stop the fentanyl and illegal immigrants, or are they saying they can’t manage these.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Can u really believe or trust what Trudeau and the Mexican say? ?. I don’t blame Trump

As a Canadian...all I can say is that both sides are going to suffer and the long term business relations will suffer

Democracy is always based on trust and dictatorship on fear... the latest is the US choice for President... as for the response, Canadians are very polite, but we never, never back away from a fight with a bully... as Bogard would say... is this the end of a beautiful friendship...

South Africa needs to do the same. You have Europeans openly saying they are running afoul of the Visa laws

Possible solution..... Boisterously verbally downshift the agenda..... Fool them into thinking okay back to business normal.... To de-escalate the excitement..... Donald Trump's a lame duck anyway..... You can say anything he wants to they'll still accept him..... What difference does it actually make to him....

Not an invasion the left says... we'll seems like an invasion to me.

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.

The majority are wasting their time, Trump says promises made promises kept and so far he has followed through.... everything

Imagine trying to say you're a refugee after you just walked through 5 countries to get to to the US!!

Seeing that how can anyone say it’s not an invasion?! How can Mexico justify that? Allowing them to descend into chaos on their side?

Somalia is the land of pirates. Just saying! They all got to go! God Bless Donald Trump for finally turning things back in American taxpayer's favor placing American family safety as a priority. Democrats are a complete disgrace for what they have done to America! They all thought this would never happen with them taking total control of America, just dumb! MAGA is the beat!

ALL you Black people are also trespassing your only here because your people were brought to be slaves so don't be saying your here because you actually belong here. Don't even start because your people dont have papers so technically your don't either doesn't matter if you were born here your still trespassing so you got to go as well.

I say do what Norway is doing with illegal immigrant grants that are crossing the border

I say do what Norway is doing with illegal immigrant grants that are crossing the border

Give those border patrols a raise... Donald Trump say he's going to put troops on the borders

My heart breaks for those children. Having to be a part of this and being fearful of what’s happening. Ugh. Such a sad state of affairs that the want to be here so badly and of course now they are panicking. I’m not justifying it just saying it’s actually very sad.

As a b/w man I’ll be the first to say we need to rid ourselves and our country of the illegal African problem and the African American problem as well - both in wherever society they find themselves - become a bane to that society

We each have our little flickers of time here... No one else will ever know much, if any, of what it is like to be who we are, and for the most part no one will ever really care. Our life is ultimately our life, and so long as we are not harming others in the process we must create a life of our own meaning, determining our own objects of importance and committing to their pursuance. Throughout our life we are faced with serious decisions about what we believe, who we are, and what we do, and mostly none of it is self evident. If we look we can always find a reason to regret any decision we make, move or stay, agree or disagree, take the job or quit, marry or divorce, live one path or another... In all cases whatever the choice may be, we will only know the outcome of the one we take, and none we take will ever ultimately resolve the uncertainty of life. However, perhaps it is less about getting a potential course of life right, and more about attempting to do so with an effort of self honesty and virtue. To live a life that can be looked back on with the knowledge that some of our decisions were wrong in their effects, but right in their intention of not selling ourselves short. Ultimately no matter what we do or say or believe, there will always be a great many who disagree, or judge, or become upset by our decisions. It is of essential importance that we ensure that among those people, we are not one of them.

Lol wasn’t CNN and liberals saying there is no crisis at the border?

All criminals...period. What the law say about treating criminals?

Did he just say irregular immigration???

DW listen to the White House Press Secretary If you are Illegal you Will be deported Stop saying it’s unclear !!

They’re more fit for it than me. I was born a woman, still a woman, and I can promise you I wouldn’t set foot in the military bc I don’t trust the people running it. I don’t fully trust the govt. I appreciate ANYONE willing to be more brave than the rest of us in order to protect us. I think I’m going to thank them for their service & pray God is loving on them too. Bc contrary to what comments say- God loves them just the way they are.

They not marching with a flag and crying and marching like another race who say they are American citizens, you are illegally here if you came not the legally way no matter what race you are

Imagine if 10 million Americans decided to all moved to, idk, say, Estonia, and do it in 4 years ??
