China tried to play the tik tack tariffs game in 2016, and it failed miserably. You can find old 2016 artciles saying Trump tarriffs would destroy the economy. ?? stock market all time high. Consumer confidence all time high ? Looks like he did so well he was invited back to the White house ?? Trump is gojng to smoke this president

It is will get to the point where no one will want to do business with the usa. People will source outside the usa and only allow exports into the usa. Women dont play games. Men think they're strong. When you come up agaisnt a strong woman who has had enough its the worst wrath you could ever imagine. Theyre very very calculated and intentional. Strong female leaders tend to sort their countries out and put it on a straight line, based on the historical female leaders on this planet

She is not playing around.

Its called PAY TO PLAY. YOU PAY DIRECTLY TO trump YOU GET TO PLAY. JUST LIKE PARDONS

Trump os dumb his professor said he was the dumbest student he ever had. Donny when tariffs are added on imports the importing county pays them. Wake up. You are showing you are not a business man. If property taxes go up you have to pass it on to the golfers so you raise what it costs to play a round add it on to the cart fee. You wont take the loss you dumb dumb

I think the world has seen the Trump play book before.\nLets see how they react to this new administration

She trying to play stupid like she dont understand whst trump is trying to do

Kid 'n Play doing politics now ???

Immergrants Are Costing The Tax Payers Billions Of $$$ Snap, Medicate & Section 8 They Like To Party Get Drunk & Play That Mex. Music ? loud.

If US want tariff, mexico is no match to US. Mexico would tank right up when it play against US. Look at china now when US pull out. Trump only need mexico to stop the illegal and do some show and you will be safe from Tariff. Trying to act tough is not going to do wonder to mexico.

lols, funny, its known by all in the region that the US is basically mexico's (and all of south america)dump for all their sick and mentally ill they cant take care of themselves cause of their failed states, literally ran by cartels. stop acting like you have a stable country and a president that can actually bring any change. The casualness in how mexican politicians play with cartel members will one day lead to mexico becoming the 51st state, and all things will be well in the world when we have taco-based mc donalds in Mexico DF.

I mean…adding Canada, as well? Seriously…that alone indicates the tariff terror is a power play, if not simply, a projection of victim mentality that seems to empower many to make rash, unproductive decisions - under the guise of ‘protection’ of the people or fostering of fear simply, to imply/offer a ‘fix’ toward creation of a false sense of security being peddled possible, for reasons or purposes - which may or may not be agreed to - if we, the people, as a whole, had any idea of…transparency is not only ‘a thing’, it’s a necessity.

How much you want to bet ,the new woman liberal Mexican President is 100% controlled by the Mexican Cartels, she better wake up real quick , Trump won't be playing her games.

Trump doesn't understand how and why US foreign policy (incl trade policy) works - which is part of why the GOP neocons and the deep state hates him like the plague (he can stuff up all their schemes with his ignorance)\nTrump is not cognizant of the reality (because it doesn't get talked about or said out loud in the mainstream media) that US is an Imperial power engaged in using complex diplomacy (including *sensitive* relationships cultivated over a long time) and threat of military force to suppress activities all over the planet in order to maintain a status quo where the US Empire gets to sit alone at the zenith of global power and wealth. It's not by real merit, this is a position established and maintained through aggression, and lot's of criminality carried out and built up over centuries of exploitative activities, which is why the deep state and powerful elite classes are so desperate to maintain the empire (and stop history from happening) because if forced to play on a more level playing field it becomes clearer that the sort of capitalism and unchecked neoliberalism the US political establishment is engaged in (and the current outcomes) are completely unsustainable.\nLike if something changed and the US dollar stopped being relied on as the premiere reserve currency of choice then they wouldn't be able to keep printing and spending money on value-losing expenses and they'd realize how badly screwed not just the economy is but the entire culture of thinking would have an existential crisis

Typical CNN cherry picking what’s either being said are what was actually said! Anyone that heard this news cast and is willing to go and listen to the whole news clip are read the letter will find out just how CNN plays their viewers for fools!

Mexico is aiding and abetting this invasion by issuing temporary travel visas to migrants to cross through their country to the US border. If they overstay the temporary visa, they are deported from Mexico. What Trump should do is tell the Mexican leader to take back these 20 million that they let in, and after they do this, the 25% tariff will be lifted. Then once they take the 20 million back into Mexico, we should drop the 25% tariff and up the tariff to 50% to recoup the money we wasted on the illegals. They play dirty with us, so skrew em.

Don’t give a damn if it’s low right now. Dems been lying and down playing this since the start of the administration. I won’t be happy until 0 are crossing the border

I remember playing mw2 … favela lol

?? Trump don't play! Mexico better stiffen up on boarders!

The United States will crash Mexicos crappy economy if Sheinbaum wants to play games.

Trumps supporters were too dumb to comprehend that high tariffs on imports would NOT help our economy. It’s like when trump said that Mexico would pay for the border wall. Mexico is playing chess while diaper Don is playing candyland

Mexico’s president is so much more mature than our clown-elect. He thinks that overcharging for imported food will slow down America’s drug consumption ? That’s like playing American football with a billiard ball!

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes ?

You want to play tax-tariffs war? Remember, this is a two way street.

Of course, prices will go up, but that's not the main issue here. Besides, liberals are the last group who should be complaining about rising costs! The real question is who will suffer the most. President Trump has done this before—if you recall, he did it last time, and within 30 days, Mexico secured the border. She's playing politics right now, as expected, but I guarantee she'll eventually back down. The price increases you keep mentioning will impact their economy far more than ours, and she knows this. It's a negotiation tactic, and in the end, Trump will secure the border. She can't just give in or she'll appear weak. She has to play the political game, but I can guarantee they've already had discussions and are working on a deal. If you believe politicians are always transparent, you're being naive. They say one thing to the public while doing something completely different behind closed doors.

I love how all these people that play video games all day think they understand the economy. ?

She has no room to bargain she runs a 3rd world country where the cartel owns her. She can't play at trumps level.

Holy , the kid and play hairstyles are making a comeback...cool

the Mexican President is Not in control of her country........... The transfer country of these Illegal Immigration and Drugs and all that mess...... Mexico is hosting the transport threw there borders for that Mexico is Responsible to curb the flow at its points if entry with in it own borders.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Time to stop playing nice... With Mexico ....... Mexico is the number one security threat ....... Closest to the U.S.A. Wake up.....

Miss President dingaling is about to learn :\nU.S. goods exports to Mexico in 2022 were $324.3 billion, \n U.S. goods imports from Mexico totaled $454.8 billion in 2022. \nWe buy a LOT more from them than they buy from us. We can play this game all day and win easily.

They sent all their problems to the us and wanna play petite

Don’t play with our economy in Canada if not you will face with the consequences very badly.

Even as an American, I fully support Sheinbaum on this. She shouldn't take this mess from Trump, who doesn't truly know the effects of these proposed tariffs. An American politician trying to play hardball with Canada and Mexico is some nasty work.

So CNN where was this information about how well the the Biden administration was controlling the border during the election. Hummmm playing both sides of the fence. If you have the facts let the American people hear.

Have you people seen the skyscrapers and condo towers in Mexico? If you are seeking asylum you stop in the first safe country which is MEXICO. Mexico is playing the USA for suckers. No need for these people to move further north into the US. We have NO obligation to accept them since they have already reached safety if that was their goal and not economic refugees

You people still don't understand. Trump is the President. He's not a Nazi. He's not racist. He's not going jail like this network and all the others said he would. He's playing chess with these 3rd world countries at the moment. Joe and Harris have done nothing for this country in the past 4yrs.

CNN played a big role helping get Trump elected. You break it, you own it.

Trump made this to be an issue, it is terrible to lie to the American people. FAFO Mexico is not playing Trump games…

Ok, label Mexico what it is, a Narco state and label the drug cartels terrorist organizations... see how she likes U.S. special forces operating in her country taking down the cartels.... we have played to nice with them over the last several decades while they've flooded our country with illegals and drugs.

She's playing a game of identities, and he's standing by principles. I wish that the US could stand on principle, both domestically and abroad.

Mexico has no leverage, they are over run with cartels, and they will need us to help them rid themselves of the cartels, maybe not right now, but at some point they will need our assistance, so Mexico is really not in a position to play hardball.

CNN is a joke. Border crossings are down because they know Trump isn't playing like Biden did. Mexico could do a ton more to secure the border. The fact that border arrests are down is not proof that it is not an issue.

That be crazy if they play everyone's racist moments lol law ?

Nice reporting like the delivery ? with that being said I think its fair to say they realize Trump is not playing!

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.

She supported Trump because mexican american think they are white and plays up to white people they don't even like you and mexican don't like black people that's why she voted for Trump all you people can do is keep wearing your tan colors

It’s terrible I go to work and they be pushing me to go to the mosque. Fuck that go play some hockey.

Also stop playing their music loudly on the street or public places. I don't think they do that in their countries. So why do it here. Canada is a free country. It doesn't mean they can do whatever they want.

Haven’t even clicked play yet but agreed
