The first thing I learned about refugees was that the country taking you is supposed to be a country that borders you we don’t border Venezuela so why would the United States be the ones taking those refugees? I don’t recall the US pledging to take Venezuelan refugees. I know we did for Ukraine because of war time.

How can a person that doesn't even know how to figure out their own gender figure out how fight wars.

If your country is bad enough to make you want to flee, why do so? Every country has had to struggle. Even here in the US horrible things have happened to it's citizens. You cannot run from your problems. They must be solved, one way or another. The US had a civil war. It was horrible, though you could argue the outcome was good. If you live in a country, you have a duty to be a part of that country. Whether that means voting, partaking in social norms, etc., you are a part of that. It is not another country's problem if that turns out being bad. If the majority of a country installs or allows in one way or another a horrible governing party or group to run things, it is their fault and theirs alone. Like sticking your hand into a hot pan, there are consequences. This will get bad before it gets good. Hopefully it ends good.

Im sorry but we go to these countries and we start wars between the people that live their and we act like we do no why their trying to get over here . smh . Im not saying that it is right to come here . But i don't blame them

If we have to go to war the US doesn't want to go to war leaving enemy combatants behind to undermine us at home & engage in power grabs while our soldiers backs are turned facing adversaries!

Because of the war in Ukraine and all the sanctions against Russia. The economy of the European Union is collapsing, European countries are unable to independently fight any threat from a super-country. Perhaps Britain knew something and left the European Union. And now we see what the USA is doing. They just want to take away what is weak and this is just the beginning. Therefore, think again about the cause of this war and the consequences, about all the sanctions against Russia. They cause great harm to Europe.

Kick out all American???? Eye 4 eye???? Tarrifs not being effective . Actually it's a different kind of war directly on PEOPLE for the billionaires boys club. Pootin warmongering was a WASTE OF ????????

How many of those twenty years were served as a man? I assume he/she, has to take a bunch of drugs to claim his femininity. How do you take them while on active duty in a war zone.

Tired of hearing US screaming illigal immigrants coming into their country. So what. Didn't the USA go to Middle East and started illigal wars ?

Deport ☘️ Irish and Italians ?also the Ukrainians who were here due to war what is it 65k Ukrainians or how does it work we get the colors out first ?

Our war monger “peacetime” Prez needs all volunteers he can get for the military! He’s a disgrace to America.

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?

Its starting to look like world war z

Get out America is going into Civil War

US trade war, and the winner is China

New war between colonials????

Well it’s better than paying for a war in the Ukraine.

The American president is missing the point, all these billions going to Israel, can also be spent on the American people by investing these billions on fighting drugs and addictions within the country, instead of sending it to war criminals in Israel

This is an invasion an act of war. They must forever be stopped.

Trade war with the largest economy in the world? Good luck with that

deja vu of world wars? \npeace! call for peace!!

how do they deal with the hormonal therapy issues, hormone blockers (testosterone) and taking hormones (estrogen) in times of war, or the emotional issues this causes. Or the cosmetic issues, like breast implants or butt implants or other stuff at times of war. Imo, some may be able to deal with this, but imo I do not think the majority can.

Canada should not respond with tariffs. That will just increase prices for Canadians. They should look for other markets.\nTrump promised to lower prices. This is a direct move to increase them! Trump and his millionaires won't be hurt by this. Only the millions of regular people that voted for him will suffer. This is a perfect example of how politicians go to war and the citizens pay with their blood. ?

Canada and Mexico can make sure their borders are secure but instead they want a tariff war with the US

Poor men’s battle, rich men’s war.

DW comes from Germany, so don't expect fair reporting. However, this is so simple to understand. We buy from them much more than they buy from us. What it means, is that they can't tariff us as much as we can tariff them. The ´war´is lost before it began. They simply can't win it. Actually, I'm surprised, they even try because it doesn't make any sense.

WE ARE AT WAR AT THE BORDER !!!!!! More Americans have died from fentanyl than in all the wars. Canada doesn't seem to get it yet but they will????.

Biggest loser from this trade war is Microsoft's video gaming division.\n\nWhile the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch are made in China and Japan, the Microsoft X-Box Series S/X are American made.\n\nAs a result, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch will not face a 25% tariff from the Canadian Government, but the X-Box Series S/X will.\n\nI'm surprised that Bill Gates and Microsoft are not fighting for Canada and Mexico even though they have everything to lose.

WE ARE AT WAR AT THE BORDER !!!!!! More Americans have died from fentanyl than in all the wars. Canada doesn't seem to get it yet but they will????

Toll wars have no winner, but what else can they do when USA is crazy now?

This is an act of war, they are being encouraged to do this by their leaders.

THIS IS A WAR AT OUR BORDERS!!!!!! we've lost more Americans to fentanyl than all wars. FOOLS like Trudeau need to get a clue.

As a South Carolinian I take this as an act of war. I hope Trump sends in the coast guard so that branch can finally capture a nation.

drugs are just an excuse to start an economic war... the Americans voted for Trump and now they have to pay for it

300% tariffs on tesla, also, no respecting the patents of these bozos. \nThey want economic war? \nLet's see who blinks first.

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!

Sorry but Canada and Mexico will never win a trade war against the U.S. Just not happening. U.S. GDP 29 trillion. Canada GDP 2.51 trillion, Mexico GDP 1.8 Billion.

​​This isn't war, it's revenue policy. Tariffs up, income taxes and government spending down will work to Make America Great Again.

Ah, tariff wars. More inflation - invest in gold and gold stocks!

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

Stop drugs flowing ? Nope. Trade war. \nStop illegal immigrants? Nope. Trade war.

First “They” say that US Tariffs will hurt the US Citizenry.\nSecond “They” seek to impose Tariffs ON the USA to hurt the US Citizenry (apparently NOT “hurting” Their Own Citizens?) \nThe USA has Specific Goals behind the tariffs (Border & Drug Control) do Mexico &/or Canada have Specific Goals as well?\n\nPersonally, I think if the US Citizenry backs down on outright Consumerism, We’ll find there’s a lot We Don’t (and Never) Needed.\nIf this version of “War” continues long enough, We will find that We can fulfill pretty much ALL of Our Own Needs … if not “Wants”.

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.

Trade war between usa+Israel vs world.

Begun, the trade war has.

We can’t win a trade war with the USA, we can’t win any war against the USA? doesn’t anybody understand this? We’re at their mercy ask Columbia.

Keep in mind that the Trump's Trade War is a distraction to cover for the horrific dismantling of the American Government and Democracy, as well as his horrific choices for Cabinet positions and Heads of Departments. / NO, Pierre Poilievre will not be our PM, he's a smarmy Trumplican.

A trade war with our neighbors and Canada being so kindly predisposed to us.\n\n\n\nBrilliant

Canada will give concessions at some point. Like regular war, in a trade war everyone is hurt. But Canada will go into a recession unless it appeases America. And America can do this because Canada has the better deal currently.

Theodore Roosevelt. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that America's economic growth was due to the protective tariffs, which helped her industrialize. He acknowledged this in his State of the Union address from 1902: The country has acquiesced in the wisdom of the protective-tariff principle. 13 colony's ,lol tariffs from 1786 to 1909 built the usa . usa got worst when we stop tariffs in 1913 then went to a income tax's \nhow think we buy Alaska from the Russia , French... buy Alaska and The Louisiana Purchase was the 1803 acquisition of the Louisiana Territory from France by the United States with the income from tariff's. president Lincoln During the war, Lincoln implemented a 44% tariff to help pay for the war effort and to subsidize railroads. \nThe tariff remained at this level after the war.
