China is just going to fill the gap of the USA with these tariffs. Trump is trying to punish everyone yet everyone is just going to ignore America

Why is this america bullying friends and silent in front real enemies like china and russia ?

China, India and Japan (and some of the GCC nations) have a huge opportunity now to step in and replace America's influence on the world. By driving the MAGA philosophy, the focus on influence over the rest of the world will be reduced / removed and could be really good for the rest of the world as this influence is diluted to be taken up by multiple DIFFERENT nations instead.

Trump is Right as he wants to protect America. Mexico is acting as a 3rd party for China by sending Tarriff Chinese goods into the U S.

That's probably why Elon has a Tesla factory in China so he can sell the cars outside America without much tariff, as more countries are applying tariif on America.\nBecause of that, more companies in America will make a sister company outside America ?

Anyone else notice that our convicted felon predatory president only attempts to bully America’s Allies and not our political adversaries Russia, China and North Korea? hmmm

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

Tip: stop being dependent to china they will hold your country economically by the neck like a hostage. Look what happening now to malaysia, africa and latin america..cant even say NO to xi jinping???

Everyone around Trump is a foreign agent working for one of the BRICS countries. Ramaswamy and Patell are working for India, Elon Musk and Peter Theil for South Africa. And of course, we all know the Trump's financial ties to China and Russia. \n\nTo top it off, you have America's old friend The UK sticking the knife in our backs by selling it with their Commonwealth News Corp 'Fox News'.

It's only a matter of time before America pushes every country right into arms of The BRICS Nations. You can BET THE FARM if Canada and Mexico join BRICS China, Russia, and other countries will be invited to set up shop right on the Rio Grande in the South and Niagara Falls on the Northern border of the United States. America will LITERALLY BE SURROUNDED. If Panama feels threatened they will join BRICS for protection as will Greenland and every other nation on earth INCLUDING other international port locations. This is a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions to the US economy if the US loses the privilege to be served at just a couple of the strategically placed locations. This will hyper accelerate the balance of WORLD POWER from America to The BRICS GLOBAL MAJORITY and completely dismantle the influence of the UN. THEY WILL SANCTION AMERICA!!! Even Israel would abandon America once that happens because the money source would dry up in less than a couple years. BRICS now OUTGUNS America in GDP, PURCHASING POWER, AND MILITARY STRENGTH! They're are nearly 70% of the WORLD POPULATION (and growing) which means a draft is virtually GUARANTEED if ww3 erupts. China has just PUT THE WORLD ON NOTICE they are AHEAD BY GENERATIONS in AI, EV's, and technology FULL STOP! Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, etc... have to be asking themselves is it worth it being Americas FOOLS???

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.

can anyone explain what products are essential in america from canada, mexico and china

Russia, China and its BRICS partners appreciate Trump and the USA for their hostile attitude towards Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Europe. They will certainly take the opportunity to strengthen their business relationships with all of them. The BRICS are open for business…

What part about if you're illegal, you will be deported isn't clear?\nThey are starting with violent criminals, a lot of which currently happen to be gangs and cartel members from Mexico and South America.\nBut yes, illegals from any part of the world. Africa, India, China, if you are illegal, your turn will come.

I hope Mexico shuts its borders to American truckers and goods also don’t give in to the orange bully who is mentally unstable standing together with china and Canada you don’t give in. Yes your countries will suffer but America will suffer the most because they will have to pay big time. And they are not use to being stood up to

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

The USA is a country of crazies. There is surely a mental disease epidemic happening there. Imagine this crap even mentioned in a mature country like Russia or China. God surely gave them over to deprived mind. I used to admire America in all my life, but in the past 20 years it has changed and for me, the USA is now synonymous to leprosy.

Thing is the oh so bright Kamala went there and told them they could come and our constitution and laws didn't apply to them. It was all set up to destroy America and then if you remember Joe signed something with Mexico and Canada giving up sovernty-to our border. Venezuela president a bad boy. He let his prison open for them to come here and Mexico agreed to let them all come through. Drug and human trafficking. I hate it for these ppl but the USA is broke. We borrow money every year to send money and aide to other country's. Why? They all have rich lands .they sell it out to China then the citizens suffer just like here in the USA. Gov. Needs to be giving us a check each year for what they sell out of the earth here. Only the Gov.officals get kickbacks. It's theft in all sense.

According to Biden, Harris and the entire Democrat Party, \nwe are a racist white supremacy patriarchy fascist country ?\n\nYet, all these people of color are demanding and begging to come in. ?\n\nLiar ? (Biden) liar ? (Harris)\nLIARS ?? (Democrats) \npants on fire ? \n\nThe United States of America ?? \nis an amazing country and the whole world knows it. \n\nI never see ?\nMILLIONS and MILLIONS of people voluntarily trying to get into Mexico, Central America, South America, Africa, Russia, \nMiddle East, China, Japan, etc.,

His mission is to turn America into the heartless bully that Russia and China have always said that we are. Their Chump is happy to play the boogeyman.\nThe adversaries of democracy love it when we are divided and distracted, hating our fellow citizens and allies. They want to make the west implode, so they never even have to fire a shot.

The USA has so much problems already. Immigrants, taxes, Inflation, and to top it off, it's infrastructure needs to be updated and improved. The UNITED STATES is collapsing. Of course the USA is always helping other countries but it needs to help it's own people first. People reading my message should look up China and watch how their country has improved in technology and infrastructure.... America is way behind.

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

And so China wins another key partner in Latin America . Seeing how the US is an unreliable economic partner, that threatens tarriffs over every little dispute, Columbia will most probably start seriously looking into establishing more reliable economic outlets, like China or even Europe for that matter. The only thing clown Trump succeeded in , was to push a crucial regional ally into the hands of a geopolitical rival of the US, sacrificing its long term geopolitical and economic influence over a single issue, not a very major one at that. Stupid, stupid , stupid. But boy is it sweet, to see the US self destructing.

The point is that it is their respective countries' fault for not being able to take care of their people. China has helped Latin America ? what else do they want from the U.S.

On any problem we hear now „tariffs, tariffs, tariffs“. Think for future relationships it‘s not the best idea to threaten every country with higher tariffs. Think that many countrys will than try to strengthen relationship to e.g. China. Just look to chatgpt vs deepseek, donˋt overestimate america

So lets say if all the countries in South America, don't agree with trump hes gonna impose tariffs. Now no country wants to pay extra so their gonna reach out to China and Russia for security. Next thing you know the pacific is storming with chinese and russian vessels. Is this what trump wants??

Great idea, Trump. Force Columbia to increase its imports from, and its reliance on China. CTMAW - Continue To Make America Weak...

Who finances CNN's crusade against democracy?\nYou lost, Trump is president.\nIllegals are outlaws.\nPeople who broke into America. \nWhy to distort reality!\nAmerica is with Trump!\nThe world backs America!\nWhy millions invade the US but not Russia, China, Iran?

If you thought China was a problem on Jan 19th, 2025, hold on to your hats! Latin America is going full on BRICS with this orange mofo!

I am telling u this idiot will make usa loose all credibility and china will capture all of South America bcoz of him ???china and Russia is rolling over??

Explain it to them through THEIR lens. Thats what they care about. Here is an example: feel free to use it:\nYou buy a GE company bulb that is made in China for $10.\nNow trump imposes a 25% tariff on imports from China. \n1. Who collects the Tariff: The US Govt.\n2. Who pays the extra 25%? GE. \n3. Is GE a philanthrophic/charity organization? No. So why will they bear the cost of the exta 25%?\n4. So what do they do? Now your bulb costs $12.5.\n5. Why? Because 25% of 10 is 2.5. So 10+2.5=12.5\n6. What does this increase in price mean? Inflation.\n7. Wont this encourage make in America? No, because you deported immigrants and now you have to pay american wages. Suddenly your bulb costs $20 because GE pays minimum wage to an American. So yeah, now everything is made in America but you are homeless paying more for everything.

Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, Denmark (and its EU partners), China and many others... the only acceptable trading partners are Russia and North Korea in Trump's mind? Good luck America.

The whole of South America will join BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. US will have Russian businesses' on their doorstep ???

Columbia will be broke within a month if they don’t reverse course! America has a GDP of $98 trillion. Whereas Colombia has a GDP of 365 billion. We can always get coffee and cocaine from other countries.! but how will Columbia replace American goods and aid? good luck getting that from China.! ?

And Colombia is hitting back. Remember Trump started a world trade war during his first term -- and the US got its butt kicked royally. South America stopped buying American produce and started buying from China. The EU stopped buying American steel and started buying from China. (US Steel ended up closing two American based plants as a result.) I see the same outcome during his second term.

Trump is starting a trade war with pretty much everyone else in the world. The US economy accounts for only 15% of the world's GDP, the rest of the world represents 85%. You have to be unbelievably arrogant to think you can win a trade war with China+Europe+Canada+Australia+South-America.

Canada and Mexico will be hitting the USA with 25% tariffs. EU and China will hit the USA with 25% tariffs soon after. South America like Brazil are likely to follow. MAGA USA is doomed. It's one thing to talk tough, it's another to stay alive while doing it.

How to increase inflation within a week and, to drive South America closer to China. Isn't this what Trump was trying not to do.

Remember all this when America is isolated from the rest of the globe ! When a natural catastrophe happens in America and no one comes to our aide . Or North Korea decides to attack America . Along with Russia and China ! Who is coming to our aide ? Trump is actually isolating us from the globe ! And here , in America , we cheer for his spiteful ways . But what we are really cheering is the dangerous and dumb leadership of compromising OUR National Security , period .

Yesterday Trump worked to get you $5 tomatoes. 75% of farmworkers didn't show up to harvest food that stupid conservatives eat. These are stupid people. How 48 coffees are withing sight. If you were in Europe you can import the coffee that would have gone to the US. Each days more people hate America. Soon, China will control Latin America.

columbia exports to america more than it imports so really trump hurting america more than columbia and columbia can trade with china better than the usa i wonder if this will hurt america more than help his issue with migrants- if i were columbia i raise tarriffs 30 percent

Why has issued legitimate visas,been revoked,to Latin and South America and not Eastern Europe,His failed economic and foreign policy just played into the hands of china and Russia,Russia is getting a very much needed reprieve,BRICS,and company will get stronger.

? u guys haven't changed. F Colombia and anything from Columbia Americans don't need or want their products! CONSUMERS DON'T CARE! and they don't have a monopoly on bananas lol. America is back and we don't want these socialist communist countries products. And that goes for China. They don't have a monopoly to tell us what they will n won't do! We tell them what we'll accept. Don't like it? Too bad SO SAD! Get a clue CNN

He is opening the door for China to take ground in central and South America, \nJust wait! All these countries will turn to China.

The US’s biggest ally in South America, the biggest market for US agricultural products, and there’s China waiting in the wings. And all it required was a respectful conversation. What a complete idiot. And you Americans were stupid enough to vote for him.

Latin America should let China set up military bases all over.

Columbia, like most of South America, is about to build a lot stronger ties with China, where they will get cheap goods, renewable energy infrastructure, and affordable EVs.

Colombia is a US ally! What is he doing! Why is he friendly with America's enemies (Russia, China, North Korea) and why is he hostile to all of America's allies (Denmark, Panama, Ukraine, France, Colombia, Canada, Mexico, etc)
