DONOLD is nothing but empty threats. Only his dumb voters believe the con man.

Thank you Border Protection the US Military and everyone else helping to secure our borders this is a hard and becoming very dangerous job this is where everybody gets an adjustment and they have to believe this won't be tolerated anymore

I believe I saw this same video in 2014.

Can you actually blame him? Take the entire world for example. Can you see any other religion wrecking havoc all around the world? I think it is time Islam check it's own fundamental believes. Each and every day people are getting increasingly scared of seeing a Muslim.

Be Proud of one Own country ,whether its small, Big ,undeveloped or well developed, no matter Where one r Born....theres is A way..its one up to believe Whether one cañ Do it..n make it happens...\nsometimes its never Greener on other side..

South Africans believe in the rule of law❤

Why rejecting, you know the answer,Palki! It is due to shadow of Andhbhakt Govt attitude, hard to believe but it is truth.

Fix your own damn country and stay there. America has enough problems of its own without having to deal with those whom believe they have a right to be here illegally.

They really believe in a sick way in their mind that they entitled

I will say this again and slowly.... This is the time for all this dark deep deadly Rounding in cycle needs to end .. Gone are the days where we used to believe the twisted reported news that never let us anywhere... \n\nLet me say the Fact about one Dead and berried, Betrayal about how your Past Generation as in Ur 1940z 50z 60z n some 1970z, The same way South Africa treat individuals who provide, how care for them, who keep peace and blah blah blah labelled as *Lucky one and further should make us happy even give us Money...... urSA,z South Africa

There are enough trans athletes in the world and good enough shape to compete on a world in Olympic level and all the levels beneath those, that I'm going to say that if someone transitions who is already in the military and they can still pass all the requirements to remain in the military, they should be allowed to remain in the military. That's fair. Edward Snowden, while in boot camp, and correct me if I'm wrong but I think he was training as a Navy SEAL, hopped off his bunk and his shins that were already broken disconnected and threw him on the floor. After his surgeries and Rehabilitation he was allowed to return to training. And this was with two broken legs that took weeks to announce themselves by disconnecting and misaligning to the point he could no longer Walk and Run on them. If he can do that then somebody suffering through all the crap that they have to go to go through to become another gender and the hormone balance they have to maintain afterward and they can still do their job they can still get in the rain, they can still run an easy 10 before breakfast, with a full pack they can still Shoot Straight they can still command they can still follow they still love this country and want to uphold our Constitution and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, then they should be allowed to stay in the military. A physical and mental Fitness is all that's required then I'm going to say this officer qualifies. Now what about the mental problem of being a man and considering yourself a woman or being a woman and considering yourself a man? I personally believe there is one God and his only son is Jesus who died for our sins and this guy created the universe and loves us but Mormon Jehovah's Witnesses Catholics and Muslims do not believe the same thing that I believe. Their ideology is different from mine as this man who identifies and has had surgery to become a woman in the US Military believe about himself.

Theres just no way she believes the crap shes saying lol

Trump your deportation day will come if people believes in the mighty spirit \nThen they must also believe that, That day nigh,

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

This is the look of freedom. This is the human spirit showing us that the will to live, to be free takes precedent over nationality, culture, etc. The United States NEVER stopped being an oasis in the world’s mind. It is an icon of breaking from from tyranny, oppression even if the USA doesn’t deserve that designation. Or, maybe the U.S. doesn’t belong to u.s. children if immigrants as we believe. Maybe, the U.S. really belongs to every tired and huddled mass yearning to be free. Who are we, Americans, to decide our legacy was over? Maybe, we ran into trouble when we forgot what we are, and why our own ancestors came here. The people of the world have spoken. We have no right to withhold safe refuge from those fleeing death and oppression. Instead of hanging with dictators, maybe our highest national “leader” should return to his original mantra of demanding other nations provide safety for their own, so that their own stop feeling the need to flee. This is the vast majority of migrants’ character. We can separate law breakers from the masses, without accusing the masses of criminality.

I have a hard time believing that our government finds so much money to allow illegals to function. I’m a veteran so I have had the opportunity to visit other countries and you can’t pull that crap anywhere but here. You can’t work or rent or anything without proper paperwork. Our government should just takeover the Mexican government and end the corruption that keeps these talented and hardworking people down so much they risk everything to get here to do what they should be able to do there. So since they want to be over here so bad let’s just take the country and start taxing them like real Americans. Sorta like a new Puerto Rico but much closer.

I do believe there exists a proper and established route to enter this nation legally. Perhaps they feel they're above waiting in line like the rest of the law-abiding?

They are grown ups playing make believe.

I am not really a fan of the tariffs Trump is imposing like lightning with Canada. I do think they should stop the walk thought to Us boarder security. I think they should however be an equal partner in securing their boarder. I don’t believe it is as much of a fentanyl thing but maybe I don’t know enough details in that.

Without God we all are nothing and the nation that forgets God will be turned into hell. We are not put here on these planet earth to live forever and we sure can’t take anything with us when we die…except Christ Jesus in our hearts. If we can’t love our neighbor as ourselves and live according to God’s word we too will be judged by him one day and if we don’t line up to his statues we will get cast out into a lake of fire. Believe it or not it’s your prerogative.

We need to do this in the UK many parts of our cities. You would honestly believe it was either Africa or Afghanistan or Pakistan not an indigenous white person to be seen and they’re still coming across the channel in their thousands every day and our traitorous government is allowing it.

Since you are foolish. Refusing to submit to God and committing to governments as your gods. Because they told you a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man, you take them as gods. If you believe they have anything to do with sex, why not tell them to start producing a different sex order than male and female? Your arrogance make you dismiss God yet you are like the government's robots that they manipulate any how. You should be pitied indeed.

He seems nice and disciplined believe me , alll he answered warent what this shhhithole fake news ccn wanted ..they wanted he should bash the trumps govt but she flawed them all , not everyone is a brain decayed foools like the smelly sewage ccn zoo

United States doesn’t have allies, they force countries to be their allies. ?‍??‍??‍??\n\nIn other words, they don’t have really any allies. It’s an illusion they’ve created themself. They barely have unity in their own country. Why would we expect them to have outsider friends?\n\nThe US is losing respect from many of them right now. isolate yourself! ? \n\nIs your President always golf 18 like another great isolationist leader? \n\nI think most of American would believe it if he would say so. ??

And duped MAGAs believe Trump!!! No duped MAGAs 90% of fentanyl comes from Americans!

I don’t believe Canada should have been terrified but Mexico 1000%

Still some people believe usa protect world peace and china,Russia destroy world peace. What a joke. Usa is the real dictator. BRICS respect multipolar governments and people . there is no supreme leader like usa in brics.

We Indians believe in Karma. Now, Karma is after Trudeau for what he did to India.

Theodore Roosevelt. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that America's economic growth was due to the protective tariffs, which helped her industrialize. He acknowledged this in his State of the Union address from 1902: The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective-tariff principle. 13 colony's ,lol tariffs from 1786 to 1909 built the usa . usa got worst when we stop tariffs in 1913 then went to a income tax's \nhow think we buy Alaska from the Russia , French... buy Alaska and The Louisiana Purchase was the 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana Territory from France by the United States with the income from tariff's. president Lincoln During the war, Lincoln implemented a 44% tariff to help pay for the war effort and to subsidize railroads. \nThe tariff remained at this level after the war.

People think about this please, I believe this is collusion along with the media because the government will take all of the additional income but their people will pay higher fees so it's just like taxing your own people. This is how the system works. The meeting would let you know but they other stenographers for the oligarchs

All Trump actually did was make them have to abide by the exact same standards as every single other person that joins the military. That’s called equality and equal treatment under the law. This is just another example of people who always claim that’s what they want, but when they get it, they don’t actually want that. They want special treatment because they believe the rules should not apply to them.

Yea I don’t believe it’s the fentanyl that’s the issue Trump has, I believe it’s the business with China. China is using the benefit of both of these countries free trade agreement and Trump is punishing Canada and Mexico for it.

It’s hard to believe USA treated Canada as a hostile country. Shocking

Looks like an invasion to me, good luck, but I believe we're all out of compassion for strangers, no more social services available...

US citizen here … I’m can’t believe a little more than half of my fellow citizens voted for this ?? I apologize for the ignorance of my countrymen ??? please know so many of us did not vote for this. Peace to all ☮️

Do YOU really believe anything the Trudeau has to say? He's literally quit his post in shame..... \n\nThis is nothing more than trying to Save Face

America's population is 347 million. Canada's population is 40 million. (the same as California) Do you honestly believe Canadian tariffs will have any effect on the US?

I commend those who stand up to bullies. The majority of Americans do not believe that tariffs are currently needed or wanted, especially without first engaging in good faith negotiations.

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Anti-trump American here. I hope I speak for the tens of millions of Americans that absolutely DO NOT accept this activity. Trump’s actions are pointless, harmful, dangerous and unacceptable, especially to our allied neighbors. If Canada and Mexico have to retaliate I do not blame them. I cannot believe this is happening ?

Cant believe that trudeau is making more sense than trump.

I need to see some europeans and Canadians deported too, I believe there are a lot of them too. And just as bad.

At this point, I believe that it's in the interest of democratic states such as New York and California, to seriously consider secession. Why should we be forced to bear the burden of the decisions of Republican-controlled states?

There is not much the US manufactures itself that‘s why they believe they won’t be hit. That’s why the US oligarchs were so quick to rush to Trump after the election. They know that others will target US platform companies like Amazon or Facebook.

Believe me i wouldn't go to this place even if am given free visa free tickets ,,,i never desired this horrible state,,,,full of filth and inhumanity an enemy to islam,,what a horrible place to live in..

As an American I believe ALL Canadians should boycott US products and spending in the USA. This is not how the USA should treat its allies and friends. Now Canada will never trust the US and things will escalate. To all those commenters that say the USA has the upper hand and will win this battle, yeah maybe so but that's not how you treat allies and in the end the common man on both sides of the border will suffer. Tariffs are a US consumer tax. The country getting tariffed doesn't pay the 25% lol

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

Can’t believe Trudeau don’t want to solve the border problem, instead chose to make Canadian suffer ?

Don't believe Trudeau i thought you got him out already

Let the fun begin! Some of us wealthy folks try to help our middle and lower bracket income brothers and sisters by voting against our own interests and paying a little more for the betterment of everyone. But Trumpers won't have it because they believe school nurses are doing hoo-ha surgeries on children because the cult leader said so. ??‍♂??
