I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party is deeply compromised by Chinese and Mexican cartel money - Trump knows this but Canadian media doesn't report on it. Things are not as they appear!

Trump is just a blowhard bully who thinks he’s cool because he’s surrounded himself with the richest people in the world. \n\nHe’s like the nerdy kid in a high school movie who thinks he’s cool because he let the jocks use his house for a party when his parents are away. Except, he doesn’t know that the “cool kids” are going to take advantage of him, raid the liquor cabinet, leave him with the bill for the pizza, and leave the house trashed before they walk away laughing about it. Then mom and dad are going to return with the house in tatters and the kid with Sharpie on his face.\n\nOf course, in reality, Trump is probably pocketing a few million/billion dollars so he and his family can leave the country when it’s all said and done. Trump and his Billionaire Buddies have no desire to make America “great again,” they just want to squeeze the country for every last dollar and leave to another part of the world.

Always interesting that Trump doesn't spend a second to fight the abuse of drugs like phentanol.\nAs far as I know, no one is forced by Canadians to consume this shit.\n\nBut then they would have to admit that the problem lies with the users and therefore with American society.

Bluff nornally implies someone knows the difference between fact and fiction. Trump doesn't care about the distinction. For him, truth is whatever he needs it to be.

It doesn’t make any kind of sense to roll out the red carpet. Where are these illegals? I mean who’s behind this and why? Many people don’t like trump, but\nBut all I know he’s a strong president. A no nonsense president he’s trying to protect this country.

? first of all get it right mayor Adams is a criminal and he embezzled a lot of money from New York I grew up in the Upper East Side in New York okay and I used to like him until he was caught and and plenty of proof it's not about him doing anything about the migrants it's the fact that he changed his tune all the sudden when he's caught and Trump is willing to drop the cases as long as he goes with the flow and does with Trump says but if he doesn't he's legally allowed to bring the case back up that's why they have the case in court and the Seven judges resign because they refuse to drop a case a new was being dropped for political reasons not because he wasn't guilty and the fact that Trump had in writing that he could bring the charges back up there's only one thing that can mean if he doesn't go with the flow and be a good little soldier and doesn't do exactly what the orange buffoon tells them they can bring the charges back up that's never been done and is highly suspect that's called blackmail!\n\nBy the way a Democrats don't disagree with deportation and not letting illegal violent criminals into the country but we do disagree with separating women children and babies from their mothers and fathers and we do disagree with just deporting people that are brown black and Muslim many of them that aren't even violent now you can't tell me that it's the most racist deportation ever you name any Canadian any Australian or european that's being deported that's here illegally there's plenty of them I have plenty of friends that know people they work with that are Australian and Canadian and European that are illegally you don't see them getting deported I wonder why they're all white that's why!\n\nTrump wants to say he's only deporting violent criminal gang members more than half of the plane that he deported to a couple of different countries had plenty of people that weren't criminals or gang members and he even ended up deporting American soldiers and vets by mistake and they used a military carrying jet that cost $242,000 for every round trip 12 hours as opposed to what every other president uses a regular Boeing style jet that cost $102,000 for that round trip now you tell me that saving money that's called just showing off and guess who pays for that and he wants to do that every day oh that's a great way to save money?\nPlay you got Trump being harsher on Canadian Mexico than our enemies China and Russia oh that's right he's budding up and siding with Russia now over Ukraine telling the world Ukraine started the war? when Putin is obviously the aggressor and the war starter who even said on TV that he would have this war 3 months and no Russians would die! You now have this clown kissing his ass and spreading Russian propaganda that zielinski is a dictator Which is far from true because if it were true Trump would be actually kissing his ass like he does with every other dictator? I'm lying about he has a 4% of ratings Which is far from the truth he's got 54% rating zelensky which are higher than Trump's right now Trump's ratings are below that and they're going down fast!\nHe is crushing in the stock market he's crushing the economy and grocery prices are sky-high thanks to his tariff solution quote that he doesn't have a clue how they work

So now we know why Trump is hammering on Canada. Seems Canada doesn't care. We need to collect them and ship them to Trudeaus home.

I am a Canadian in Alberta and the reality is that the Liberals have weakened the Canadian economy and our standing in the world. Their decision to cripple our oil and gas industry and our lack of ability export our products elsewhere in the world is an issue created by the policies of the Liberals. To impose a carbon tax and further weaker the average Canadian is terrible. There are some policies I don't like out of the U.S. but the reality is that it is never an idea to pick a fight with the toughest kid on the block knowing you will lose. Trump doesn't even want the tariffs he wants Canada to pull it's weight in defense spending and cooperation. Trudeau backstabbed Trump in the past and that won't be forgotten. We need a new government with a leader that understands more than being a drama teacher and snowboarder. Unfortunately, most of the significant issues Canada faces is the result of self inflicted wounds resulting from incompetent leadership. We didn't have anywhere close this level of issues with the Harper government. We are lucky to have the U.S. as a neighbor so let's do what is good for both nations but there is no way the woke Liberal's can do it.

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.

Proud to be a Canadian and proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a bully. No question it is going to be a bumpy road but I would rather be a Canadian then an American knowing Trump is in charge and doesn't care what he does to his people because he will have a job, a roof over his head, groceries on his table and gas in his motorcade. Impeach him before he does irreparable harm to the world. He doesn't care about you only your vote. He should never be in charge of the nuclear codes!!!

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.

It doesn’t matter if your illegal you shouldn’t be there I don’t know why people don’t do it legally I take my hat off to Trump I wish the uk would follow suit

You know what’s gonna happen? US applies tariffs on literally the whole world and the whole world doesn’t feel a thing except American citizens feeling the pinch and then Donald Trump takes credit for reducing the country’s debt from making their citizens poorer.

yes WELL DONE TRUMP KEEP UP You know you are bad when even your country doesn’t want you back. \nWe need nothing from Colombia, we will look for it in other places, the world is huge

I would ordinarily be defending the USA. But this is Trump. And it’s being pushed without setting it up. They want to know what is going on. Naturally ! But Trump doesn’t think anyone or any Government can oppose him. The South American countries are dog walking our corrupt Leader. He’s a disgrace to America

WHAT A BIG FAT BULLY TRUMP IS. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TARIFFS WORK!! WHAT A FOOL!!! GLAD I LIVE IN CANADA!!

Felon and moron Trump doesn’t know that tariffs will raise costs to Americans!

Trump doesn’t realize America is going down hill because of him he thinks 50 % nothing to play with he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing

Trump doesn’t realize America is going down hill because of him he thinks 50 % nothing to play with he doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing

REVENUE DOESN'T THIS MAN KNOW THAT WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY THESE TARIFFS ??WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE ACTUALLY TELL DONALD TRUMP TO WAKE THE HELL UP!!!??

So the only people it's going to hurt is Americans, if that! Trump is a dumbass that doesn't know what he's doing.

Columbia already folded to Trump and agreed to take them back. There's a REAL President that knows how to get things done! Seems like this comment section and CNN doesn't keep up to what's actually happening

What she don't know is that Trump doesn't see this as her country and he will deport her too.

I don’t know who needs to know this but as of 2022 if I’m not mistaken backed by the federal banks and the global banks, Mexico is not or no longer considered a third world country for the record it’s considered an upper business class country and it’s on the rise. It’s number five in the world for importing the exporting Number one is the USA ?? . I just wanna let that sink in. I really do hope that President Trump and the president of Mexico I hope they both come to an agreement because it will not be beneficial for both parties. At least the one who’s gonna fill it. The most will be US. It’s just gonna force Mexico to look elsewhere not to mention Mexico was back by the US dollar to an extent, and it also has the back of the euro force along with the Chinese currency Mexico forced to be reckoned with not to mention all the car companies that are being Located in Mexico cars that enter in and exit Mexico in the car market not to mention Mexico now has the biggest cobalt mining probably in the world if I’m not mistaken Mexico is now in demand. Mexico knows this now but it’s not stronger than the US but if the US no longer cooperates with Mexico in Mexico, no longer cooperates with the US well it’s gonna be pretty sad not to mention the amazing history they have Like when Mexico along with Brazil defended the US when they were crippled by Japan and when Mexico went to help liberate during the Nazi invasion in Austria, Mexico has a great history of warfare and defending this country as well. I’m proud to be American and I love my Mexican heritage. I just hope it doesn’t go too far

Stop panicking: there’s a residential bubble because housing has some catching up to do, corporations gouged prices using propaganda to blame the government. Canada has gone through so much worse in the past, it doesn’t compare. You should understand what the pandemic has done and understand that getting back to normal doesn’t happen overnight. Just check that Canada has been ranked 3rd best country in the world after Switzerland and the US. We know that President Biden’s outstanding performance has pushed the US to that 2nd rank but let’s see how quickly it will go down under Trump. \nThe way to stop price gouging is to stop buying overpriced items, that’s all.

GOES TO SHOW TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE. HIS \nBRAIN DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY

Trump doesn't know what's going on in politics and relationships. And even if he did, he'd never know what to do having the mindset of a rapist, draft dodger, convicted felon, liar could never come up with a practical solution. That's why I'm still upset with these voters who voted this guy in. They should start with impeachment.

Trump doesn’t always know what he’s talking about

Trump is the most stupidest, dumbest president in history of the United States, he doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

Donald Trump doesn’t know what the “F” he is doing because trump is as dumb as a doorknob!

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

TRUMP? DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT MEXICAN WOMEN! SHE IS CALLING HIS BLUFF AND SHE WON'T BEND IN A GAME OF CHICKEN????

DJT is going to take credit for those low border numbers. TRUST ME. He called BIDEN the worst president ever (DJT doesn't know history). Biden has worked for a cease fire in the Middle East (watch Trump take credit) and he'll try and take credit for the border numbers.

Trump doesn't care about the results of his tariffs. He wll blame the destructive results on someone else. He is just eladed to know that he will not be held accountable and doesn't have to go to prison. He will spend his presidency golfing and attending rallies to get his dose of endorphins from his MAGA sycophants.

Trump is making enemies with our allies! And if he removes the United States from nato, be will just isolate the United States ?? making us weak! Thats exactly what putin wants! Trump is not trying to benefit the United States! Trump is just trying to benefit himself financially! I dont trust trump! I dont like trump! And i know he doesn't have the United States in his best interest! Trump will destroy the United States from the inside out just like he does to all his corporations! People say he's a great business man? Well all of his businesses have mostly gone bankrupt!!

The media loves Trump cuz he gives them news. Stop it with this tariff crap, Trump must be loco but he isn't stupid. He's not going to do shit just like his great and beautiful wall and how Mexico was going to pay for. Trump know knows the U.S isn't in no position to be messing with our great economy right now. Trump knows that he needs to ride Biden great economy for as long that he can in order to look good. Trump knows he doesn't have no pandemic to blame now and he's expecting to govern with normality. Mexico isn't scare of the U.S threats cuz Mexico has plenty of leverage and the new Mexico president isn't going to take shit from Trump.??‍♂️

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.

Total gaslighting going on here. The only reason illegal migration is so bad is that the Mexican government doesn’t control their borders or the cartels. Get real with your commentary. President Trumps is already successful just in letting them know he’s coming and no more bs will be tolerated from mealy-mouthed Mexican presidents who are funneling these millions north.

False bravado, on her part. She's praying to God that Trump doesn't initiate a fight that she very well knows he would win.

She doesn’t know she is f’iking with. This is Trump!!!! He does not threaten … he does it.

“Trump says Mexico has been taking advantage of a very unbalanced trade agreement, in his first term. Biden did a review on Trump’s tariff and decided not to reverse that.” Booyah! As always, look at the substance of his policies. You all should know even my Mexican friends know that their corrupt govt bureaucrats keep all the USforeign aid money to enrich themselves. It doesn't trickle down to its people.

Doesn't she know that once Trump puts a tariff down and she puts one down in response and the cartels start losing money she's gonna get fucked waaaay before Trump. Thus no tariff in response from Mexico because she doesn't wanna get wacked

These clowns on the other side of the borders will negotiate with Trump. Especially knowing that we are a top consuming nation. That will lose them billions of dollars. Seeing the liberals crying is so funny. Mexico will be the first to break and especially when the cartel doesn't make any more money. So many companies will move back to the United States to avoid the high taxes. These clowns on the panel are so dumb lmao.

She’s president of Mexico Trump can’t intimidate her because she’s a woman, she’s strong woman and she will respond to him in professional ways. Trump is bully and he doesn’t know how tariffs will affect America economy. He’s not good for economy and he lied about knowing everything about tariffs while he is not good.

She doesn’t have a care about anyone but herself, delusional woman, doesn’t she know that Trump and his cronies would send her back too 1st chance they got!!

yeah, don't see Maduro even caring about Trump making threats of tariffs if he doesn't accept Venezuelans back. As the rest of the continent know (like my own country, Chile), it's pretty clear he couldn't care less about people leaving Venezuela, less so about being diplomatic or having sanctions (they already have so many piled on). Airplanes with deported migrants wouldn't be able to land in Caracas

This is a horrible woman that doesn’t believe her savior deserves <minimum wage family members staffing tRump towers.\nShe’s both sad and pitiful everyone knows a billionaire deserves free illegal work.\nShe most certainly will be damned to Hell for such ill thought of a GAAAWWWD!
