Yo Canada, you can't survive without the USA. Best listen to daddy Trump before your economy topples

Canada and Mexico needs to coordinate tariffs to US products to increase their impact.

Canada should foster more trade relationships with Europe and Africa..

The drug and immigration is an excuse - Trump is a crook. Let's go Canada! Charge the Americans more for Oil and Hydro and tarriff Tesla 100%

I’m betting that within one week Canada and Mexico will cave. It’s time these two countries stop taking advantage of the USA. God bless President Trump !!

Unlike other countries, Trump cannot play with Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Europe.

so it is Mexico first and Canada first, but not America first?

Canada and Mexico should quit NAFTA and apply to join the EU. If Trump wants to isolate the US, he can knock himself out.

Even if Canada cant win this, a response has to be given. Drumpf cant be allowed to think he can do what he wants to anyone without response.

A Europe strong and united, together with Canada and others are the free world now.

China will profit from this economic war between US and Canada

No, you guys are not going to get out of paying your bills, if you balk, we will foreclose on Canada and you'll all become American citizens and you'll all have to start paying your bills. Or, you can pay us cash, right now for your share of defending Ukraine... your days of freeloading and spounging are over.

Our GDP (approx. $28T) is nearly 14x that of Canada (approx. $2T). They won't win a trade war. The same goes for Mexico because they're GDP is the same size.

Trump is a foolish bully! Canada, we in Australia stand with you!

Canada should make zero tariff to Chinese goods and Canadian middle class can afford cheap EV and all other commodities. Treudeu should know that US has no friend but interest only. Henry Kissinger

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

Canada and Mexico’s 25% does not actually equal US’s 25%. Canada and Mexico are consumers more than producers. They are both addicted to American investments and products and the US wants to bring jobs back to the US.

Vive le Canada

Uh oh…Canada and Mexico bout to find out.

Bring French Carrefour in Canada. Not Costco nor Walmart.

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Canada you’re playing a dangerous game with a super power !

This American is rooting for Canada…don’t let this wannabe dictator bully you. Go Canada! Also y’all should completely boycott Tesla

Man, I already know some video games are $90 in Canada. I can't imagine what you guys will be paying now.

Let’s see ? the US doesn’t need your milk, cheese, oil, lumber, cars really which is up to US manufacturers to open manufacturing in Detroit again…..maple syrup yes but I think we can get that somewhere else in the US too.\n\nCanada depends on the US for 75% of its gross GDP. It also costs the US $200 billion a year to continue trading with Canada. Will see who blinks.\n\nMX, good luck. Will see how many months before we hear a large Ugh..

Impose 100% tariff on canada

Canada & Mexico have facilitated the influx of drugs manly from China that have killed 100,000 Americans a year for the last 3 years! How did you think this was going to play out?

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

Think the US will Sanction the leadership Canada and Mexico in retaliation....? Sanction the countries.. threaten to remove them form SWIFT...<< that would be a bit extreme but it is trump at the helm.

Putting tariffs on other countries triggers those countries to also impose tariffs on the US and likely trade with other countries and leave US alone with its goods. Not too good. Canada, Mexico, and China putting tariffs on US will slow US economy big time, like it or not.

If the US has a trade deficit with Canada of 200 billion, America has nothing to lose if it completely shuts down trade all together, the alternative is for Canada to set up shop in America.

Mexico and Canada should employ a total trade embargo.

Such a bad decision to do this with canada

What Trump said about Canada leaching on US economically and militarily is true..so why don't Canada rulers face it and fix the house from inside instead of, using the dispute as an election leverage ? How far their hypocrisy and opportunist minds can go ????

Canadian here. The tariffs will hurt. And this may just be the beginning of a sprawling trade war, but make no mistake, Canada is not for sale, and Canada, despite its soft spoken nature, is determined to keep going on its own way. We have free trade with the EU and Pacific nations. For any US companies who find themselves caught up in tariffs for their export markets, consider setting up your export shop here, to keep your Canadian customers, and continue to have access to European and Asian markets under free trade agreements that are respected, and operate independently of any decision made by President Trump. Businesses need predictability and stability, and your neighbors to the north can provide that to all of your export markets.

Trump is a terrible business man facts period. He's using tariffs against Canada and Mexico. We loose

Usa : Canada and Mexico needs more democracy and freedom .

We don't need Canada or Mexico. WE have our own SUPPLIES.

Trudeau is on his way out but he has the backing of all of Canada against these brutal US tariffs

I get why trump would tariff mexico. But why canada? I hate all this bs.

Lol only 1% of illegal border crossing into the US come from Canada. Look iir up. He only used that as his excuse to appeal to the racist rednecks who voted him in.

This retaliation means that Canada and Mexico could care less about illegals letting in Fentanyl into the US. THEY DON'T CARE, and neither do you in the comments until your family members are victims of fentanyl. Isn't Trudeau supposed to be resigning?

ore then Thousand Indian illegal entry from Canada and Mexico border every day

Good news for Canada

Well Canada isn’t a Muslim country so it makes sense for you to move to a Muslim country. Good luck.

Sending love & prayers from Canada ???❤

Canada needs to close the borders and do the same.

20,000 people a year coming into Canada. The US has millions every year crossing illegally. Mexico needs to be held accountable for letting people pass through to the US

Never the less Americia will never let Canada alone fight off any other country invading it they are our great neighbors .

Canada is destroyed by Indian no one should let Indian stay or visit their country because they stay permanently
