Americans HOW MUCH CHEAPER would your health insurance cost be, if gigantic corps weren't making huge profits off of it?? Why would they ever give that $$ up?

Enough wi the fleecing of the American’s taxpayer monies and enough with the fleecing of America. Giving away our current monies away, and giving our future money away has got to stop. Hold these lawmakers and Dem people accountable and have them pay. Put it back on social security where it belongs. Enough with giving it away to illegals while we are having a hard time making ends meet.

10-12 years ago Modi said he would make Americans line up for Indian visa when asked about why he was denied US visa. In 2-3 years, he would be happily retired after ruling it for 15 years. who are the losers? certainly not the chaiwala.

The basic lesson from the Economy. How did China become rich and have high technology? Thanks to cheap labor, American capital, and factories, we built in China...Thanks to Chinese capital and technology Mexico will be one of the biggest producers of electric vehicles..They don't need the American market. This planet has 9 billion potential customers...The right thing to do was not to put tariffs but to open an EV factory in the USA using Chinese technology and money and everybody would benefit except Elon Musk and gas and oil corporations ..BYD or NIO better than Tesla costs about 25,000$ only... Tesla sells batteries for EVs for 26 000$...The same battery made in China costs 7.000$ because China has its own lithium. We should say goodbye to Elon Musk batteries and import batteries from China or make a lithium deal with Bolivia as China did. We would have American EVs better than Tesla for just 25.000-30.000$.\nCustomers are paying tariffs and this money goes to the government...Adding tariffs on most of foreign products is the faster way to create the Great Depression as Herberr Hover did in 1930 when he added Tariffs on 2000 imported products

Trump didn't make mistake on imposing high tariff on some countries because Americans are big consumers of those countries products in high quantity and they too knows that Trump is right and the fact is they prefer US as their main costumer.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

Guys, to be honest we know US makes the dollar worth whatever you want, whenever you want, wherever you want but that is not our fear, we truly want to be a strong region and if you look closely beyond the behavior of Trump and Sheimbaum it seems they truly want to cooperate, just remember the world is watching, when you have a good strategy you cannot disclose it, lets work together, we are not south americans weve always been in the region. Some of our most beloved mexican heroes where born in texas or other states when they were still Mexico for instance, we share the wild west stories, cowboys are not only americans they were also.mexicans for example, and box sport associations were made by US and mexican legends, plus we share commom values.

Yes they will never admit that they sold lots of weapons to the Sinaloa cartel and others so they can kill each other why they never talk about it? Because that's who they are terrorists since the beggining acquiring lands like half of mexico,Australia,Hawaii and numerous others that's how they make money like the wars right now in Ucrania and Gaza and they will use American contractors to become richer like black rock and Elon musk etc etc by the way why is a billionaire doing in his government? When he doesn't have any credentials besides being rich? There is lots of wisdom here will the racist of Fox someday admitted the real truth? I seriously doubt it

Stay in your own damn country and try to make IT BETTER instead of running like rats to the U.S. illegally and in doing so just make OUR lives worse! It's not our fault your country is crap or our responsibility to give you handouts! Stop being parasites! We don't want you here or need you here and its wonderful to hear that they are arresting you people and sending you back where you came from! There are millions of Americans who wanted an armed border that would open fire on you illegals regardless of your origin! The fact that your breaking our laws to begin with makes you undesirable unwelcome unwanted enough! Then you want handouts, support blah blah blah, NO! GO HOME! STAY HOME! NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF YOU PEOPLE! NOBODY WANTS TO BE FORCED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU PEOPLE! WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT, YOU CANT HAVE IT!

The slogan “Make America Great Again” is very nostalgic, but times are different. If the US imposes these tariffs, it will be to the benefit of China. When American products were undoubtedly superior to the rest of the world, imposing tariffs did not work in the 1970s. Today, it would become less competitive, there is very strong international competition and Chinese products would benefit. To make America great again, we must look to the future, not the past.

Make enemies on our borders thru tariffs on Mexico and Canada. They respond by turning to China and Russia both of whom will give those countries sweetheart deals and make them allies. Meanwhile our prices rise and only minimum wage jobs become available to American citizens. Now I see how Trump could bankrupt six casinos. His brains are stuck.

Americans don't want to pay higher prices for anything. And corporations don't want to pay $15 when they can pay $2 to a worker overseas. Manufacturing is not coming back the the US no matter the tariffs Trump imposes. America has to concentrate on the manufacturing that we lead which is High Technologies, Fuel, and Agriculture. Trump wants to destroy the Department of Education when what we should be doing is making education a priority, even in higher education. Making it easier and less expensive for Americans to get higher education. Trump's policies are going to completely destroy the world economy and in doing so cause a massive recession in the US.

This is yes, Mexico has Mexico has killed a lot of people in the United States and make? Mexico was warned for years. Is Mexico's problems why these people are coming here? That's their people. How many people that has killed in the United States already and these borders? What are they talking about? Is they fault? It's not the United States fault. Canada is doing the same, then I do anything. They've been one for years and years and years and years. And they haven't done nothing yet. Still, American people are still dying from all these mamali's drugs. It's time that we put our foot down and stop thinking about the human beings that are dying instead of thinking about money. Money is not everything in life. It's just pays your bills.

Hope Mexico puts America in their place, i hate how they always belittle a country that's next door. To build a wall was a slap in the face. Now, the Americans need Mexico . Hope she makes it difficult for Trump and karma gets him.

AHHHH, now it all makes sense, if you are LOYAL to TRump and his agenda of hate you may avoid paying the tariffs. So, this is how this dictator is going to sway companies to kiss his ring and bend to his whims. I guess it is all about loyalty and doing the biding of this new American dictator. A huge step in his total take over of America.

CNN & businesses need to respect American's mendate & laws that they make if they wanna operate in the USA or end up in jail

but, but, but, he. doesn't. care. All he wants is control, he wants to control every aspect of every former american citizen. I live in AZ. What are white people going to do when there are no nannies, maids, landscapers, construction workers, janitors, line cooks, farm labor, or anyone to work any other low wage position... white people are not going build their own block walls, or install their pools, cut their own lawns... we are just as addicted to paying people scraps to make our lives work as we are addicted the drugs that are sent north. this. is. insanity.

If this becomes a tariff war this is the thing that may happen, any American factory inside of Mexico's borders will find it pretty inconvenient to do business or put their factories in any other place, making them come back to America, or be put out of business by companies inside of America

Stop already! Stop spreading hate! Stop talking bad about USA, get the hell out of the country! Move to Mexico, go make Mexico better than USA! The real American don't like you!

The only thing this stupid president is going to get is to make the American people's lives more miserable every day. I still think this election was a big fraud implemented by Elon Musk. Somehow, these elections were rigged. I don't think the American people is that stupid.

Sheinbaum has Constitutional Majority in Mexican congress Ahe can Make consitutional reforms that would criple all American Companies in Mexico territory.

Make it more expensive to deal with USA = customers go to a cheaper option= Americans pay more for all your stuff.

The Moron in Chief making sure Americans will suffer from even higher prices at the cash register ??

I can't take CNN advertisement, I instantly click away, Asi sse it as an insult to my intelligence are you actually trying to make American people dumb, and stupid ?\nAnd you can't live in USA unless your sick and have a condition that require a pill from pill TV ? \nAre people really this dumb that they can't see what takes place. Something are very wrong when American people can't point out USA on a world map ? instead of tarifs maybe you should try education

CNN NEWS - YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING US!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ATTACKED TRUMP 24/7 AND YOU DECIDED TO PROTECT THE CORRUPTION OF THE DEMOCRATS WHO RUINED OUR COUNTRY AND NOW YOU ARE CRITIZICING TRUMP MOVES TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT??????? GUYS.... AMERICA SPOKE DURING THESE PAST ELECTIONS AND YOU SAW WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS CANNOT LEAD ANYTHING IN OUR COUNTRY SO SHUT UP AND STOP YOUR HATE CAMPAIGN. YOUR STATION HAS NOTHING GOOD TO BRING TO AMERICA BECAUSE YOU DEMONSTRATED TO ALL OF US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT ALL YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WELL (FOR MONEY) IS TO BRING TO US HATE, CHAOS, DRAMA, LIES, BIAS REPORTING AND DIVISION. SO DO US ALL A FAVOR.............................STAY AWAY FROM TRUMP'S AGENDA TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN......................... WE SIMPLY DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE, YOUR INTERVENTION ON ANYTHING AND MUCH LESS YOUR ATTACK AGENDA TO THOSE WHO WANT TO BRING GOOD AND HELATHY THINGS TO OUR NATION. HIPOCRATS...

I think American policy maker should think about micro issue and go to the core problem which , to lower the cost of making food, medicine, they should ask why isn’t their cost decreasing , is it the raw materials ain’t available or how can they make the raw materials cheaper and also put a minimum and maximum floor for the price and also quantity produced.

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

be carefull with what trump is asking, Chevrolet ford and another american company stocks are down after president Sheinbaum mention the letter she is sending to trump, may be mexico should make a economy deal with china who wants to deal with a toxic goberment ?

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

?I thought we where UNDER ATTACK BY BLOOD THIRSTY, INSANE MIGRANTS WHO EAT PETS AND LITTLE AMERICAN CHILDREN!?? trump is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN ACCORDING TO HIM AND HIS CRAZY MAGA CREW!

We have a lot of farm land and rivers and oceans on both sides we should not allow anything coming in why are we making other countries rich and make our medicines we need to build hotter refineries to my synthetic resources and products so we are not slaves or dependant on any country so we can start reopening our factories and any company getting other countries to make their products kick them out and send them to that country its now america first and only the hell with the world and we if we want to trade we trade in our hemisphere and if they get their products from the other hemispheres we can them and not allow to enter if you want to trade making us American slaves then move to that hemisphere you traitors we must become fully self sufficient and independent depending on no other country for resources and parts and products and medical equipment and medicines and fuel and oil in case of world war and a catastrophy and plaque and anything

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

I agree with trump make America great again, we do not need cheap labor to harvest our fields, nor to clean our houses, nor to clean our dirt. We as Americans can do it, nor do we need to import food or goods not produced in our country our land can grow by our hands bananas,rice,corn,beans all year long even in cold snow winter, when can make cars and tractors and allow china to grow in the markets that we remove our companies pure american pride we can do it

That can’t be good. Putting a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico could cause a lot of problems. First, they might fight back by adding their own tariffs on U.S. goods, which would hurt American farmers and businesses that sell products to those countries. It would also make things we buy, like cars and food, more expensive, which isn’t great for anyone.

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

So basically illegal drugs, and luxury agriculture foods will become more expensive for Americans? USA has the most, and most fertile farmland on the planet! Canada’s major import is natural gas, minerals, and Crude oil! I USA uses the policy of Drill, baby drill? USA does not need Canadian natural resources! China is machinery and appliances! Which other countries also make! So the price can be negotiated now with other countries! ?

Let me get this straight it’s ok to tax our own (rich Americans) but completely not ok to tax other countries? A yes you may think if supply decreases a demand stays the same that prices go up but if done right we pick up that supply here in America making us stronger.

Trumponomics means artificially making tariffs impossible to pay and frustrating Americans from buying import goods so that we'll turn entirely to domestic production.\n\nTrumponomics also has a geopolitical aspect, in that super-high tariffs as well as tariff exemptions can be leveraged as political blackmail or reward, respectively, to influence other countries to toe the Trump line.

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

It’s the American people that will be paying tariff… not Mexico, why do they care. If USA not buying them, they’ll just make the deal somewhere else and then increase the price when US wants to deal again.

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

Ok for those who don’t understand how tariffs work thats tax for American companies to import goods here ok and the other countries sale their products at the whatever cost they set, once Americans pay the tax tariffs then Americans companies increase their cost to recover ad make up their loss costing Americans higher prices. And for the idiots that think manufacturing companies would come back,they will not bc other countries good are going to still be cheaper and would not like to pay additional taxes or have their business growth collapse

Trump is a moron. He says things without any proof or facts or details. How is China ripping us off? We use them for cheap high tech labor to make our products and then American businesses profit off of them by selling the products to the u.s consumers for a huge profit. And even then we still pay a very reasonable price compared to if the product was made in the USA.

I agree in that this most likely won't solve the issue put more stress on the population and business enterprise. Climate issues will make these plans even more problematic. We currently have issues with some of the effected industries domestically. We are having to many food recalls to create import price spikes even in building materials. It's already been reported that the drugs are coming into the country in American cars...sounds like a job for man's best friend...drug canine units. Putting more efforts in less drug cou consumption could help because unfortunately druggies will be druggies and find a way to get their supplies. We would be better off in controlling the drugs in this country than leaving it in the hands of criminals!

Trump is the son of an immigrant and his first and current wife are both immigrants.\n\nIf people actually hated him for the right and true reasons instead of making stuff up and causing people to not believe when actual valid reasons to hate him are stated, he wouldn't have won twice.\n\nBlanketly denigrate the people that support him (I disagree even though I wouldn't vote for him) as moronic, but it's almost always the people making baseless statements about him that show their lack of awareness and education on who exactly Trump is and what he stands for.\n\nObama's father was African and his wife is African American. \nCalling Trump against LEGAL immigration is as ridiculous as calling Obama anti-Black.

This lady deserves every single thing that is coming to her. As a Mexican American woman I am appalled at her lack of empathy and compassion for her own people. These people make me sick because they refuse to see that he would deport them in a blink of an eye just by their color of their skin. SMH

My husband and I are engineers from the US and Mexico and have lived in Germany for 15 years. Both speak fluent German and have raised three kids here. Yes, many people are racist. But if you learn the language well it’s not that hard to integrate and then things get much better. Germans can be the best friends you’ve ever had, much better than superficial Americans, but it can be hard to break through the shell. We have always loved it here. But to be honest with the steadily declining economy, massive scarcity in housing, and no salary increases in years, we are considering leaving as well. The outlook isn’t good for the Automotive industry and we could make double or triple the salary elsewhere. It would be very difficult to pull up our roots now gs better get better quick or we won’t stay much longer.

I'm so glad trump won he has exposed Americans for how disgusting they really are..they hate the men who made everything EASY and SAFE for everybody NONWHITE but whatever, whites best stop playing nice now they got a chance at power again. Don't make the appeasmement mistake a 3rd time whitey.

There you go That’s an American People make their choices you don’t wanna get deported Apply for citizenship properly and become a citizen of this country if not leave. Don’t steal the benefits from people that I pay tax dollars with their whole life working in this country you don’t deserve opportunity you haven’t earned it
