I guess starting a trade war with America is preferred over securing the bloody border. All because that pipsqueak Trudeau and his party are desperate to gain credibility before they're annihilated in the next election. And all you people counting on oil exports to Europe to make up for the tens of billions Canada will loose in trade with America, guess you forgot that the Liberals have seriously curtailed oil/LNG production and exports. Not only has Trudeau created alienation and division within Canada, now he's destroying relations with our most trusted ally.

Consequences? I think Canadians are suffering the consequences of failed leadership just as we have here in the US. With the election of Donald Trump it's perfectly clear that the policies have changed here in the US. I wouldn't be too worried about the future of either countries at this stage. I predict by this time next year there we still be lights in my home, gas in my car, food on my table, and love in my heart for my Canadian brothers and sisters to the north. Future looks Bright! :)

That is soooo typical usa ?friends or no friends when it fits them they rise the tariffs or sanctions you….I hope the rest wannabe friends og usa is waking up now that they might be next.

Trump predicted that Uncle Joe ruined the economy and stock market should crash this year. He is on the way to crash the economy. Then he will lower the tax for businesses as he already planned it. There is no next turn for Trump anyway. He will make sure not to leave any rightly placed stone unturned.?

Next time, Canada joining the BRICS hahaha Orangina will be alone in Mar a Lago.

Europe get ready! Your turn next round! See you on the news very soon

It’s blatantly obvious what’s happening next, big tariffs on the EU and NATO will be reducing/eliminated. \nThe US has accepted the reality that it is no longer has global hegemony, therefore some of these actions are logical if painful. The EU should have control of its own defence, it is ridiculous that it doesn’t as it is sufficiently wealthy to do so with ease. Further EU integration has become almost essential or the EU states will start fighting each other again. Trump is actually helping the EU to grow up.

Make America Pay More Again! As disruptive and asinine as Trump's economic schemes may be, it's sadly necessary that AMERICANS (we are often a very self-centered and blissfully uninformed people) feel the consequences of their vote as soon as possible. Americans MUST feel the pain to grasp the gravity of what a tit-for-tat tariff tiff between the US and Lord-knows-what-nation-Donald-will-go-after-next won't likely end well for us. It is what it is, and Trump is what he is. The whole world has no choice but to let all this nonsense unfold.

Trump is ready and expects the unexpected, let's wait and see Trump's next action and response.

Germany and entire Europe is next.\nPay your NATO bill@ Germany.\nBe ready for USA tariffs.?

Europe including Germany is next.\nPay your NATO defence bill ,otherwise be ready for tariffs.

Have you noticed during Biden administration there were minimal catastrophe but as soon as trump becomes president the lefties are doing everything to sabotage his administration with first it was covid lockdowns, now fires in California just happened after the eguraration and now planes collision. I wonder what other curve balls and disasters Biden elites will do next to Trump to complicate his administration terrorism? Mass shootings?The lefties love revenge,chaos and death

If Canada was a state, it would rank #4 in GDP.\nI give this trade dispute 2 weeks, if that, before Canada and Mexico kiss the ring.\nEU, you're next.

Europe will be next to be tariffed ?????25% tariffs coming to the eu real soon ?????

um.. the EU is next !

We were planning a family trip to the USA next month. Instead we are going to Dominican Republic. That's 8000$ not going in the United States economy. Oh well.

I hope the Eu is ready to help Ukrain and with the tariffs... It's time Eu wakes up and ditches the Us before it's too late. Because the orange man next hit list is Europe and the Uk.

trump says that the e.u. is next to receive tariffs, so get ready.

Never ever trust America government they your friends next they are your anamy

Pathetic Polly is NOT going to be the next PM. One Fascist per continent is enough.

Next he'll offer to buy Canada...?

US vs the World.\n\nEurope is next.

Next step Annex Canada to the USA!! Let's go people stop playing around. Let's do this! Canada must join the USA, you can't win this! lol Canadian serfs cannot be taxed (Fleeced) anymore than they already are...

Up next, buyer's remorse.

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.

What next??

25% inflation starts next Monday ! ! Stock market will crash Monday !

Good for Americans , next time elect a president with more brain cells

Sure fully depot for those standing next to there must be great for ground grass

We give canada and mexico large sums of fanical add. We put a stop to that money next. \nHe is playing chess not checkers. If you think he has not thought if this you really need to think again.

US-Canada Trade Balance\nThe US has a trade deficit with Canada. In 2024, the US imported $377.24 billion worth of goods from Canada, while exporting $322.24 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $54.99 billion.\n\nUS-Mexico Trade Balance\nSimilarly, the US also has a trade deficit with Mexico. In 2024, the US imported $412.34 billion worth of goods from Mexico, while exporting $346.78 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $65.56 billion.\n\nExpect those figures to increase by about 25% in the next year or so.

Trump is trying to be the next, dumber, Putin. This how democracies die.

Here in BC our government just passed an initiative to open up new manufacturing capabilities to produce former imported US goods here in BC. Canada/US trade will never reach the same level it has previously established. Trump just screwed the US indefinitely.\nP.S.\n Poilievre's lead has vanished since this and is viewed as a US/Musk sell-out. Trump has ruined his chances, he won't be the next PM .

Canada is also doing something with oil and gas and thats just Canada wait. Trump is threatening allot of countries who will retaliate, joining together against trump. Trump knows he can't get the debt ceiling thing through the house so raising prices with tarrifs and taking all social supports are the next best way to fund his tax breaks for elon and the wealthy.

As The President promised today, Europe including Germany is next. Of course, you can retaliate by putting tariff on our LNG. Oh, wait a minute, you can't afford doing that!!!

The regular people will suffer. Canada and Mexico will suffer more. The US economy is very big and dynamic. It will absorb tariffs. Trump's foreign policy is going to be very predatory. These trade wars have the potential to spill into other areas: Diplomatic and military in which Mexico and Canada cannot match the United States. The next four years are going to be turbulent.

EU is next...

Go drink a hot chocolate and go take a nap, Trudeau. You all should vote Joel Thomas Zimmerman for your next Prime Minister!

Trump says tarrifs on the EU are next. Hey EU, wanna buy some Canadian oil?

next, tariffs on EU

EU is next ?

LOL. Bring is on, Governor Trudeau. \nEU is next. Cutesy Time Is Over. FAFO.

Don’t let black women become presidents, Kamala deliberately made a fool of herself on tv while she knew the whole time trump was going to become president again, she was racist and sexist a few times on tv, she insulted black people herself by saying they don’t know what computers are, shes a fool.\nWhite women are far more educated then black women, I’m ok with having Barack Obama again but he’s not running again, so thats that, we don’t have any black men running for president anymore atm, if anything, we cannot let black women become president though, Hillary Clinton is anything else although but eligible to be our leader as shes evil, she wouldn’t take care of American’s, she would’ve only made Putin want to attack America so she’d not have control at all she’d be instead leading us to our deaths.\nAny other white woman but her otherwise mu suffice with being president next, but theres a lot of work needed to clear up atm anyways, with trump coming back once again, we can’t help it now, its to late to go back tk wanting Biden again as we can’t turn out trump for biden since trump won again, so thats just the game we’re playing here atm, we just can’t.

The Caribbeans next ?

Way to waste 5 mins of my life to hear a transformer complain they are not recognized by the US government so I dont care how they feel or what they think should happen if you cant decide your bathroom you are not qualified to make decisions for anyone but yourself they should take your voting rights next

Wow! Bridges barriers and what next, gates?

When Donald Trump's Yahoo's that he will bail out.... Begin to do sniper Patriot activity..... We have to wonder.... From someone's big mouth.... How did this all get started anyway..... Donald Trump's wet dream martial law... Enough disarray so he can remain in power and continued his dynasty putting his son up next... Being the start of something.... He gets off on this exceptionalism..... Well he's sure being the start of something......... CHAOS

Could Donald Trump be following in the failed foot steps of Bibi Nutanyahoo of Israel or Adolf Hitler wirh his immigration/ war policy ? \nNo body is sure but do not self-deport from the United States because of fear.\nNevertheless, it appears that President Donald Trump has to start a war to protect himself from serving jail time or paying a multi-million dollar fine for his crimes. Therefore, upon taking charge of the United States government, on January 20, 2025,, he will try to:\n1.Replace United States generals in the military that he can not totally trust due to their allegiance to the Constitution or other laws.\n2, Remove a significant number of undocumented migrants and try to secure the Mexican border against threats to his Administration.\n3. Order the United States military, in the Summer of 2025, to take control of four Mexican provinces next to the state of Texas: Nuevo Leon,Tamaulipas , Coahuila and Sonora.\n\n4. Order the United States military to attack Iran and China

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

Well next they will see deadly force
