People don’t understand the importance of geography. They spew their opinion and don’t understand what theyre talking about.

We should be able to make all our own products. It is too bad our great companies left the US. Time to bring them back. What the rest of the world doesn't understand is we don't need you

Canadians you did right. And we europeans will and should follow. American products will get expensive all over the world and sales will decrease. Then the MAGA guys will understand. Paying more at home, selling less into the world. Autsch, that will hurt.

People dont understand what a trade war means for everyone globally. Not only do tariffs result in inflation, they also mean that businesses are either reluctant to invest or cant due to thin margins. Effectively causing a global slowdown. We're entering interesting times

The days of Slavery is over, I don't understand why Africans are still in America.

I wish Americans would understand that these tariffs are the biggest grift he’s had on them. American consumers will foot the bill of tariffs to fund the tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest. Basically, it’s a tax cut funded by the everyday person. Awful.

America punish themselves; but you decided America First, now you get the Credit for that instead of negoshiate with neighbours and friends humanic eye to eye, I Do not understand America, they are paniced by their own fear

Thank you Canada ?? unfortunately this administration only understands 1 language if DT continues Canada should cut off electricity&energy supply

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.

I hope Canada follows through with their tariffs. We need to hit those who voted and aided trump - it’s the only language they will understand! Yes, Musk will sue Canada, he’s such a wimp, but trump/musk started this fight!

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

Trump need to understand it’s not all about America ?? alone you lead the whole world not bullying

THE WORST THING YRUDEAU DID TO CANADA. NOW WE ARE GOING TO SUFER EVEN MORE! TRUDEAU HAS TAXED YOU EVEN MORE. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TERAFFS WILL DO TO YOU THAT TRUDEAU HAS JUST DONE? NOW YOU WILL PAY EVEN MORE FOR EVERYTHING!

Canadians must understand one important thing. Half of Americans support Trump ?

This American totally understands your need to protect your economy, Canada...and supports your decision. Hopefully one day, America will be forgiven for this madness--if it survives. ?

I bet this is the retaliation for the “moment “ between Justin and Melania on the tarmac a few years ago. \nDonald was hurt that day and this is his revenge. \nGoogle it and you’ll understand.

It's incredible that so many of the people commenting here don't understand the reason for the tariffs. We're being invaded by illegal aliens and deadly drugs. The point of the tariffs is to prod your leadership into doing the right thing. Stop allowing our country to be flooded with poisons that are killing us. If you're really good guys, you would stand up to the actual bad guy, your prime minister Trudeau. Keep in mind he's flooding your country with dangerous islamists. You should want that to stop

Trump is to blame for all of this. But he is not smart enough to understand everything, so someone else must have thought this up, someone who will not be affected by this. I will boycott everything I can that comes from any Republican state.

Poor Trump he isolated and sabotage himself not once but over and over again He cannot understand that hs behavior and the ones that advice him brings more darkness and ego suffering to himself

Mate, “inflation” is not a tax. It’s a consequence of escalating prices, perhaps caused by introduction of a tariff on imported goods. Unfortunately, millions of US voters didn’t understand that but still voted for the 34-times convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, serial liar, business fraud, misogynist, racist and draft dodging coward called Trump. Greetings from Australia. Cheers.

American here, I hope this doesn't come to military conflict. Wait, does Canada have a military? Asking for someone who doesn't understand a free ride. Any temporary price increase will benefit the American worker in the long run. We can hold our breath under water longer than you can until you become reasonable.

Canada really don't understand the equation, they stand nowhere infront of US. They should better comply with Trump to avoid more tariffs or possible sanctions. US can destroy their economy like Iran or Venezuela. Canada has no partners at the world stage, they never invested. \nIf you want to show strength, first build it. Canada is totally at the mercy of US.

Americans don’t seem to understand that all the “cool things to do and see in the USA” you don’t need to actually live in the USA to enjoy those we can just get on a plane and fly to those places for vacation just like Americans do. We had our honeymoon on Oahu, stayed two weeks in a VRBO in Waianaie with all the native Hawaiians, rented a jeep, drove around, saw all the things, felt bad for all the service workers who live only on tips under labor laws that a third world dictatorship wouldn’t even subject its people to.\n\nNotice how all the things Canadians criticize America for it’s for being needlessly cruel and horrible to people when there’s the option to be compassionate and supportive and ethical?\n\nBut then every thing Americans criticize Canada for it’s for being “too compassionate”, “too supportive”, “too caring” when the option American say we should have taken instead was the the option of unnecessary cruelty?

What part of “stay in your own damn country” do they not understand? They’re not wanted or welcome here !!!

1 Corinthians 13:1-8 (KJV) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.\nAnd though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.\nAnd though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.\nCharity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,\nDoth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;\nRejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;\nBeareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.\nCharity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

The US doesn’t understand what happens when we go into other countries and destabilize their economies. If we don’t want this mess, we gotta pull out of these countries, period.

You got to understand people's mind of thinking she no longer Mexican she thinks she's white now so of course she's going to be the depressor of her people which is the leopard eating the leopard's face

Normal business Barack Obama's displayed method.... Speak quietly but do the job necessary.... . All borders are touchy.... It must be done with finesse and diplomacy..... IT'S A REACTIONARY PHENOMENON THAT WE OUGHT TO BE SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND...

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.

It has nothing to do with colour of skin or where they came from. I am sure if i a white british man was illegally in usa i will be sent home. So i would fully understand this. And would expect to be caught at some point.

Guess what! they fear because they know their actions were illegal. I get some citizens who have certain backgrounds being nervous but fear? No as they are already in the system and safe. But the criminals who took advantage of the US deserve to be deported. But, from my understanding ICE is so far only going after serious crime offenders such as drug, human trafficking, murder etc illegal aliens. It is culture shift but it is not only in the US. Europe, UK, Australia etc these all countries pulling back on illegals and mass migration.

Remember, Trump promised he would lower the cost of groceries. He also said he was going to impose tariffs on imported goods from other countries. You should know that tariffs will RAISE the cost of living not lower it. When Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he said tariff costs are passed along to consumers which may cause short term disruption. But then said he wasn’t concerned about disruption because we should understand. We can’t afford food and gas now. This POTUS has no brain!

It’s Biden fault? Trump the more you don’t understand people the worst it gets. The people have nothing to loose. That’s what terrorrism is about. Soon you’ll see suicidal bombers at the border.

One thing these reporters fail to understand, is that anyone who enters a country illegal are committing a criminal act

I guess they don't understand the word united States?????

most of those deported are white or latino. very very few african are illegal immigrant so I dont understand the title of this report !

What I don't understand some carry their flags the audacity of some of them some of them are cheeky too.\nwhy not carry an American flag at least

If HE can still meet the physical and mental requirements then I don't understand the issue, Identify how you want in your personal time and Identify with biology and reality while you're on the job. And dont forget, they may be less physically fit and mentally stable, but they can simply Identify as invincible and then nothing can stop them.

There are millions of these people. If they can come to the biggest military in the planet and try to over run us, why don't they get together and fight for your own country. You have assets that you don't even understand. Fight for Your Land. Hell I'll fight with you....

don't understand . Venezuela is a communist utopia according to the Democrats. why do all these people want to leave and enter a capitalist hell hole ? ?‍♂️

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

I don’t understand why people think it’s okay to enter another country illegally. That itself shows the amount of thuggery that these people show. People like this will not want what’s best for the USA for sure

Illegal means illegal. Not sure what you don't understand about that.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THEY HAD SPENT ALL THEIR MONEY GETTING TO THE BORDER AND COULDN'T GET BACK HOME, BY BEING IN THE U.S THEY COULD GET FREE FLIGHTS BACK HOME.

I understand them wanting to come here,bbbuutttttt... How about ..take that energy and put it all back into your OWN country and make it to where you WANT to stay..

I don’t understand how them being scared matters to the American? They should be they’re here illegally!

They are NOT victims. We welcome anyone who does it LEGALLY. Do people simply not understand law ?

I am coming closer to the conclusion that feminism and wokeism have been implanted into the US culture via Tick Tock by China in order to weaken the country from within. I cannot understand why a civilization would become so self-hating and self-destructive.

It's so tremendously sad to see this, but walk through encampment in any major US city and it's worse. I understand and don't blame them but were screwing our own people and have been so so long.

Show this to Selena Gomez…. She doesn’t understand how bad it is
