Our counter tariffs are interesting. Guess what's on the list? Torpedoes. Ammunition. Weapons. Yes, we will reach our 2% of GDPin military spending goal after the purchase of 12 submarines, 15 destroyers and a host of drones, but we will likely get them from Europe, Japan and other allies. \n \nTrump folded because he stands to lose Canada's purchase of military equipment.

The illegal Europeans got to go to no more illegal immigrants y are the Europeans not being sent back and why is it easier for you and parents to require citizenship more than any other immigrant? its a war coming you can't even see it a lot of these white Nazi groups are from Europe?

European people should be first in line going back to Europe!

I wish africa to be for africans, europe for europeans Nd

YUUPP!DEPORT ALL!..IT'S HIGH TIME NATIVE AMERICANS GOT THEIR LAND BACK!!!...SO TRUMP WHERE WILL HE GO ,MEXICO? OR...what about the white PPL? Will they go to EUROPE???

Not only african and Europe illedals from all country and race

Deport all the illegal Caucasian immigrants from Russia, Italy, Germany all who came from Europe

? ? ? Canada Mexico Europe You guys crack me with China ? ? ?

We Europeans do not need the USA, in fact without the USA we Europeans are better off. Europeans, stop buying from the USA, stop importing US products, Europe needs China and not the USA, stop giving money to NATO, let's start dismantling the US bases in Europe that are useless and only cause environmental disaster and cancer deaths. No more oil from the USA, does Europe need oil? The answer is Saudi Arabia even if it would be better to eliminate oil for hydrogen. The highest concentration of hydrogen in the subsoil is in Europe. European technology is unmatched, which is why NASA is asking Europe for help in designing, most doctors and researchers in the USA are European. So Trump is the usual clown, if Europe were to close contacts with the USA in favor of Eastern Europe, like China and Russia for gas, the USA alone would be finished, an economic crisis that would destroy the USA. Europeans, stop buying from the USA, let's leave them alone, let's buy from China

Lmao funny watching Europe panic now that America isnt emptying is pockets for the rest of the world and other countries are mad that they're getting screwed back after years of screwing.

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.

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.

He needs to go back to where they came from….EUROPE??‍♂️….darks were ALREADY HERE…go figure…and NO…NOT AFRICANS…MEXICANS n NATIVE AMERICANS…the REAL AMERICANS ??‍♂️.

Mexican here.\nWe can always keep free trade between us ????. and, definitely, increase together our trade with Asia and Europe.\nYou, Canadians, are not alone.

TO INDIAN GOVT , JUST STOP VISA GIVING TO ANY MUSLIM KOM RIGHT NOW , NO MUSLIM SHOULDN'T ENTER INTO INDIA , ANY MUSLIM LEAVE INDIA CANNOT ENTER TO INDIA AFTER LEAVING , STRICT WARNING AURANGZEB/HITLER SILENTLY ON MOVE , DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ISI/ ISIS PLS , DON'T KEEP ANY LOOPHOLES IN POLICY & RULES REGULATIONS , SEE WATCH EUROPE IS LOOSING THEIR CITIZENS HELLO

Promises made promises keep. \n250 countries dump people across our borders.\nWe see how immigrationhas destroyed Europe.\n\nWe learnfrom uncontrollable immigration will bankrupt every country.\nPromise made to the American citizens promises keep for the American people.\n.

Canada should concentrate on Asia and Europe.

Wow, think of a third world country who would just open fire on these storming people. Think what would happen to people busting through a border in Europe during WWII. Only in America can people act like this and there is no consequence.

It's called carrying out an election promised. Free loading UK ??, Canada ?? and Europe ?? were always a tool ? never in alliance. Welcome to the G-zero multipolar world ? order.??????

it is time to resolve the EU and make WU and accepting membership of countries out of Europe

Europe is a much bigger economy than little US, so just try and do the same to us.

No matter who is the prime minister . We didn't started it and we are not taking laying down. I think this was good enough push back. If Trumpy comes for more Next thing should be the Removing EV tax credit just on Tesla. Invest in Eastern Canada pipeline and refineries , Bring crude or finished product to Montreal and start sending to Europe. Even with higher cost to refine heavy Alberta crude, we can still bring cheaper gas to Europe given that we sell our crude at 57USD to States and USA sells to Europe at 70. In today's rate Canadian finished product (With heavy refine + high transportation cost) in USA is 73USD per barrel as compared to WTI (with lower refine cost + lower transportation cost) is 82 USD. At 2024 exports levels you saved 14.1 Billion dollars per year + all refinery jobs and reason for it is the heavy discount we gave to you on crude oil. Facts tells me you are the free loader. Yeah we are small and gonna be in bad shape But this does not ends well for you too either.

So worried about our BCP officers, they have families, America should act as Poland in Europe, now Poland is safest country in Europe, girl can walk on the street alone at 10PM, other business owners is very active day to night.

Europe can buy oil and gas from china iran and russia sold oil and gas to china them you buy that from china

Bring that canadian oil to europe and we will supply anything the americans sell you

well there is trade with Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and Mexico that could bypass it all. If USA were not busy being Israel's poodle and guard-dog trying to make an American empire all over the world, much of it to serve Israel, then they could deploy their troops all over the border with their ridiculously large amount of law enforcement agencies and personnel (ICE, FBI, ATF, State Troopers etc) and stop all drugs and criminal gangs flooding in.

80% of good come in from Canada. Go ahead. How about leaving America and Americans alone. America is Americans not Europe. Sorry

The post-war world order is now over. It's time for Canada to drop out of NATO and NORAD (what is the point of a defensive strategic alliance with the only country in the world that is openly threatening you with annexation?) and expel all American military and government personnel in the country. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc need to form a new strategic and economic bloc oriented toward the goal of breaking America, just as we did with the Soviets when they were the largest threat to global peace and prosperity. Sadly, it is more likely that we will allow the Americans to divide and conquer us... literally!

My country has been to dependent on US we in asia should also find other partners in europe. japan, south korea, singapore, philippines and taiwan we are all dependent on US if trump continues this we will also be affected. Its time to partner with other countries other than US.

Canada needs to get all new trading partners, they need to look to Europe, Asia, and other countries. There are other markets out there, especially in the EU, where they are no longer getting energy from Russia. If Canada shows any weakness Trump will hit Canada even harder, the only why Canada stays strong and comes out ahead, is to be strong. Canada will suffer for a while, but with new trade partners, Canada will be much better off.

Europe has an alliance with Canada and it's stronger than the USA.

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.

The US has other allies to trade with, including new ones like Argentina. I am however predicting further tension and isolation from Europe

Canada dont worry Europe want import from you. USA is not the only one who want goods.

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

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

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

Why can't Canada put a double % on the US tariffs which makes from the US imported goods like cars so expensive that nobody will buy it. Yes it's a problem. Just buy those cars from Europe or Japan. There are also very great goods from Europe like the orange juice mentioned in the video. This is available in Europe and Northern Africa as well. Canada eh! Just switch the trading origins. Would be very nice to getting much closer to Canada and Mexico with the EU ?❤

Canada should put 0% TAXES ON CHINESE EV, start to exploit OIL AND IMPORT TO EUROPE AND OTHER COUNTRIES. U guys have bigger ammount of natural fuel than US.

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

Export tax on Canadian oil and gas to the US. We can develop new markets for these products Europe and Asia need reliable energy supply

Trump: Europe, you are on the list, be careful, baby

Let the europe be with USA. The rest of the world should join BRICS. Let s see who will survive ?

Canada partner with Europe pls, help us during these difficult times

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.

Canada should free trade with China, Europe and Mexico and stop buying Tesla.

Europe and Canada could both hugely benefit from closer trade relations. Imagine what 4 million barrels of oil a day would do to reduce costs for almost everything in Europe.

This will strengthen the trade between Canada and Europe. Well done Donald Dumb.

Europe Mexico and Canada are usa colony ,they are little puppy's and they will obay

Canada needs build bridges to Europe ?? and ??. \nProblem solved.
