North America is exploding economically because of Trump. It is mostly the Americans who would suffer the most because Canada and Mexico has more safety nets for its citizens than US. Trump voters, if this is what you voted, good luck for more four years of chaos.

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

Homeless Americans, Homeless war veterans, North Carolina hurricane victims, high suicide rate for vet's. We have a long list of things to take care of, one of them is not importing 3rd world peasants at the expense of Americans.\n\nGo back to your countries and fix them instead of freeloaders off ours.

You guys are incorrect on what happens when the US raises tariffs on certain items from Colombia. Do you think American importers will continue to import highly tariffed commodities like bananas and coffee?! No they find other countries and other sources because consumers won’t pay 50% more on coffee and bananas. Guess what what Russia and North Korea are doing? ISOLATED to death on their economy. Russia isn’t doing well unlike what others may be thinking. They’re only doing barely enough because of their oil and coals, yet their oils aren’t traded high enough and look at North Korea it’s segregated. I’ve been to North Korea actually by accident and they live like 100 years ago, in deluded made up world far from reality. Look at Cuba. They are sanctioned by the U.S. and the rest of the developed countries. Who is going to lose by being highly tariffed?? Columbia. Not the U.S. You guys need one on one basic education on trading commodities.

One reason why I didn't vote for this man he ?is closings all doors to all Americans passport holders ,now Colombia doors may be closed.The American Passport will be very weaker now, I wouldn't be able to travel any where The United States ?? is turning like North Korea because of President Trump .Not good I am screwed

No, you didn't understand the Colombian president's post. He was only against the use of military plane and lack of process, he never said he will not accept deported Colombian immigrants. There needs to be a coordination because they also need to make sure on their end that it's only their citizens that are being dumped in their country and that they're being treated humanely. Also, Colombia just hit U.S. with 50% tariff. Also dont forget there is arround 15.000 North American citizens living illegally in Colombia... So... WTF? U.S shoukd take it easy on his rear flank

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

Trump says raise money? Bahahaha does he know how tarriffs work??? Ummm no. Americans pay more. They dont make Trump more money. Joke. Joke. Joke! Get ur head out ur a@@ north americans!

don’t judge too much. I’m not saying this is good for anyone that is living in ????. we already have a very bad housing crisis etc happening . but i definitely understand why they come.i have great empathy for them .. i feel horrible for them. these people aren’t lining up for black Friday deals or Taylor Swift tickets. these human beings are living in poverty, in danger in their own home countries. They want better for their children!! i’d actually question why they didn’t try for better (not actually, i have no right to judge them ..the lack of $ and danger would make most adults question if it’s the right thing to do). \nwe really need to remember...we aren’t special as human beings. we don’t deserve to live here more then they do. Our families just happen to cross the ocean(we weren’t even from the same land, like most of them, they want to cross a boarder that WE created) in the right decade, right century!! \nwe all came here and took from others. when we bought our land, built our homes, etc if you think back really it didn’t belong to them to sell it to us. It was stollen lands from the Native Americans. And we did such horrible things to natives for centuries!! we TOOK TOOK TOOK while nothing but destruction was given to them in return They are the REAL AMERICANS!!! \nAnd we killed them, we destroyed their communities, separated families, brought and spread diseases that killed thousands, kicked them off of their lands to go to areas we knew they couldn’t thrive, then we took their rights to hold & spend their own money, then stole that money that was to help them set up communities crops food and left them for dead !! we stole their babies from their mothers and fathers and we did this as recently as 50 years ago. \nso remember the day the first white man stepped on North American land was the last day we could say this was the land of the free !! \n\nwe have taken taken and taken from the ? fkd the world over.\nRemember..Americans are the reason south America has the dangerous gangs, cartels poverty,corruption,deaths we buy 40% of all drugs made there just one country buys 40%!! but why change things...when our leaders are benefiting hugely from the chaos. who cares about Mexican, South America families Just get them off our doorsteps ..right. ?\njust don’t think we aren’t Next !! ????

Canada should play our part to secure the boarder for the safty of North American region.

Those living in US illegally are now self deporting themselves out of fear but they're not going south. They're heading north towards Canada. Work together with the Americans to tighten our borders or else prepare yourself for an invasion.

We are north American people and we are paying for all the benefits they received, we are native we are not allowed to receive those benefits , we have to work hard specially to pay our medical bills, they are coming give birth to their children, travel to their countries and never pay their hospital bills.! Who pays? Citizens taxes.

Mexico is a North American country. Actually, Central American countries are too(it’s not a continent) but consists of countries south of Mexico and north of South America.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but when you first came back to Canada making these videos, you seemed unhappy that things cost more in Canada than in a developing country, I think it was Vietnam? If a person is lucky enough to be able to work around the world online and maintain the same wages of course developing countries will be cheaper. For people who live in Vietnam, the average monthly wage is $424 Canadian. The average wage in Canada is $5,607 so developing countries are cheaper if you are making North American style wages. Best of luck finding a place with lower crime, lower poverty, and a quality of life you enjoy.

⁠We “Black” Indigenous American-Indians are STILL HERE in America. We were NOT killed or poisoned. Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians (Aboriginals, Amerindians) were captured and ENSLAVED (American Indian Slavery) in OUR OWN LAND, America (millions)….while millions of others remained as the Free People of Color while living on and off “Black” American-Indian reservations throughout the Southeastern United States. \n\n“Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians (Aboriginals, Amerindians) are NOT FROM AFRICA (>98.8%). Less than (<2%) of the American slaves were IMPORTED from foreign territories, including Africa. “Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians are the ORIGINAL and FIRST PEOPLE of North America pre-Colombian and pre-Siberian Mongolian/Asian Immigrant invasion (so-called Native Americans)\n\n“Black” Aboriginal Indigenous American Indians (Aboriginals, Amerindians) of North American, USA Descendants are STILL HERE in America (misnomer: African Americans) with a GROWING, POWERFUL and STRONG USP (>42%).

I'm an American, married to a German, and we live in the Southern USA. We spend over a month each year in Germany and Europe. I will say that when it comes to making friends, Germany is far easier than in the Southern US. People here are closed off and absorbed into their own little world (there are exceptions, of course). I've had some bad experiences in Germany but overall have found the people to friendly and welcoming, especially in the North.

Until we start mass deportation, we are not going in the right direction; we are going sideways. \n\nIt's always countries that breed like rabbits that people wanna flee from. These countries need to control their populations and focus on quality of life, not just more life. \n\nChina took decades, and the worlds worst famine, to finally institute the one child policy. The policy led to an economic boom and a massive improvement to living standards for 100s of millions of people. \n\nIndia appears to be on the way down the toilet with their out of control population showing no sings of stabilization. \n\nAll countries should stop taking Imdians until I they can stop population growth, which is causing massive environmental \nDamage, and get their population back to a sustainable level. Scientific consensus from decades ago said the sustainable world population would be about 2 bliion if we all want the middle-class North American lifestyle.\nThis would probably mean India would have a population of around 250 million, ONE SIX of what it is today.

Canada has become a North American Stargate portal, for India Pakistan.

We are All North America but we are Canada and only Canada and NOT Americans

I agree it should end however let me explain my situation I'm white American I got into a relationship with a Mexican woman a few years ago, her parents decided to cross illegally 26 years ago and hire people to smuggle her and her siblings in again 26 years ago she's now 31 we got married and have a son together. I own my own property in the boonies up north in my state I'm curious as to what is going to happen to her? Because I will give one warning before me and my other family who live with me will open up the tree line at any and all trespassers I will not let the government take my wife period. I'm just concerned

The US government is actually using the name of the continent to its citizens and country. We are US citizens and citizens of the United States. Everyone in North America Central America South America the Americas the American continent is an American like Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans.Europe has 50 countries Asia has 51 countries Africa has 54 countries Oceania has 14 countries and America is not a country America is a continent of 35 countries in total. ....

The true problem is the greed of colleges - bringing the wrong kind of international students. Remember - the same India supplies the brightest brains to the USA. Like myself - thousands of high skill STEM field Indians are finding Canada to be the North American ghetto. We had high paying jobs and comfortable life in India - we moved for better value of our taxes and overall high quality of life but we are finding ourselves surrounded by same chaos and much worse healthcare. Many like me pay 100s of thousands in taxes every year in Canada and yet find ourselves on flights to India to seek quick healthcare. Pls bring in healthcare workers and students - not the high schoolers seeking to live on Tim Horton and uber jobs for life.

Left learning American here. BE CAREFUL CANADA! We are seeing some sick fascist phuckery happening here in America and we are starting to see the same thing happening there in Canada. DON'T BECOME NORTH AMERICAS NEXT METH LAB! VOTE the fascist out NOW while you still can or you will have a Trumptard infestation of stupidity that will take DECADES to get rid off COMPLETELY ruining your country. Immigration is NOT YOUR PROBLEM, Unchecked capitalism is. Check the billionaires and DO NOT LET THEM INTO YOUR POLITICS!!

6:40 \nA business men and a stupid men, NO-ONE is ripping off the United States but their stupid own north american politicians, throwing hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukrainian and to the false fake israel. \nBut he wants to blame other countries?…

The so-called expert analysts guest Zolan Kanno-Youngs does not know Mexico is a North American Country. ???? Can we really trust CNN as a Trusted new Source? ? This is why Trump says Fale News when he talks about Leftist News outlets. ??‍♂️\n\nThe orginal trade agreement was called NAFTA or North American Free Trade Agreement.. ? Their os only 3 Countries that form the North America region. ?

but, but, but, he. doesn't. care. All he wants is control, he wants to control every aspect of every former american citizen. I live in AZ. What are white people going to do when there are no nannies, maids, landscapers, construction workers, janitors, line cooks, farm labor, or anyone to work any other low wage position... white people are not going build their own block walls, or install their pools, cut their own lawns... we are just as addicted to paying people scraps to make our lives work as we are addicted the drugs that are sent north. this. is. insanity.

Are Mexicans, Americans...?\nHow about Mexican-American, are they Americans?\nWhat about Chicanos, or American Mexican-American, are they American? Mind you, they were in coastal western north America before the indians were there, and they are of European origin.\nThat brings another question: are American Indians, American, or are they Indians?\nWhat about 'People of Colour' are they American?\nAnd finally, are low class poor white people, American?\nPotpouri gallore...

AND THE AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES BETTER NOT PROVOKE ELON MUSK AND MANY BILLIONAIRES THAT ARE SUPPORTING TRUMP, ELON MUSK AND OTHERS WILL INSTALL GASOLINE AND DIESEL TRUCKS AND CARS FACTORIES IN TEXAS, FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, AND AND THE CARS AND TRUCKS BUILD IN MÉXICO,CHINA WILL NOT BE SOLD HERE YOU GUYS BETTER BECAREFUL Cheaper than Their Cars and Trucks

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

Mexico is not a “center American” country Mexico is a North American Country

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.

Definition of Maquiladora: A maquiladora is a manufacturing operation or factory in Mexico, typically located near the U.S.-Mexico border, that assembles goods for export, primarily to the United States. These facilities take advantage of lower labor costs in Mexico and benefit from duty-free or reduced tariffs under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), now succeeded by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Companies often send raw materials or components to these factories, where they are assembled into finished products, which are then exported back to the U.S. or elsewhere.\n\nThe maquiladora program was established to boost employment, attract foreign investment, and promote economic development in Mexico, especially in border regions. (answer provided by Grok).

Sent them up north or to the empty countries that need people.\n\nSend Trudeau with them and those who support them.\n\nGet Europeans in this country like Americans, Aussies, and UK that love this country.

1,000,000 criminals hardcore southern american gangmembers eyeing canada and 39 million poor drain on society illegals all eyeing canada.... border non existant... mass welfare... low crime punishment...(free reign for criminals) canada is the sanctiary state of north america.... be prepared for hyper inflation and collapse of dollar and 0 retirement savings

As an indigenous American with indigenous AMERICAN ancestors from Mexico this woman is truly a victim of a colonized mind smh, first off AMERICA is a continent, secondly indigenous Mexicans use to be in North America pre colonization and nationalism so Mexicans could never be illegal to their indigenous lands.\nLoyalty to colonization will never yield good results when your'e not white.

Really?...Canada, the U.S. and Mexico signed a NORTH AMERICAN DECLARATION on Jan 10 2023 in Mexico during the Mexican citizen drug cartel war; while citizens were warned against travelling to Mexico.\nThe photo op with those WEF, WHO and ESG protocol citizen abusers looked like a horror film poster.

Canadians should not be surprised if Americans under President Trump decide to force Canadians to get visas for future travels. \n\nCanadian generous refugee policy has allowed millions of criminals/terrorists into the country and most of them once they obtain the Canadian passport aim to move to US and Americans are aware of this scam. Canada also has many who would like to harm North America due to their affiliation with terror organizations. It’s not going to be easy for Canadians who plan to visit US.

Lady, take it back from whom? Most of the southwest belonged to MEXICO before the Mexican-American War. The North American land mass belonged to NATIVE AMERICANS before European settlement. Geez, she doesn't even know her own Mexican history! What a dumbass!

Look, even North Korea deported an American name Travis King for entering ILLEGALLY.

I think we should also be bracing for a stream of American Democrats and liberals moving north. Trump 2.0 isn't the same as 1.0. That time it was I'm leaving because. . . This time its I'm leaving because I might not be welcome here anymore. Although highly unlikely because of our close proximity one could even argue that an American brain drain might also happen as scientists move north to continue their research free of government interference. Remember Einstein read the room in the 1930s and left Germany for America. This could now happen to America as scientists read the room and walk away with their research saying let those Christian Nationalist deal with nuclear fission with just God's hands.

Mexican worry trump Claudia said didn't cry we have black Rock visit 260 CEO Rich north Americans slim and inter ocean shipping connection half world need one million worker projects USA wee haw show 1980 donkeys red hair

When she started with 'we need to take our country' back, I began to think she meant Mexican-Americans need to take back their country that was originally part of Mexico but was taken from them by the United States. eg Texas and other border states. Isn't that what the immigration north is all about? Taking back country? Of course the people who should really have the right to take back their country are the Indian Nations. They would be justified in deporting any families whose ancestors were illegal immigrants and did not get the equivalent of a green card from the original owners. I find it fascinating that descendants of illegal immigrants are so antagonistic to more recent illegal immigrants. 'We were illegal first! So we have the right to stop you illegals now!' ?

Let's face it, we won't be flocking to these countries in hordes if Europeans hadn't already made these countries financially strong. After all, how many Indians go to , say, Vietnam and learn Vietnamese, or go to congo to learn swahili. \n\nYes , I'm aware that Indians were all over the world even before colonization, but I'm speaking specifically about the North American countries .\n\nThat said, kudos to Ashwin for shutting up the hag.

Colonial Canadians probably don't know that at one time North American 'Indians' thought the same about them. What goes around comes around.

As FRENCH, I think it is more an issue with policies set by both governments!!! You know you bring students IN and why don’t you build houses and encourage construction???? In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!! \nSo dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!\nAlso, reading from comments, I notice that many here have NEVER alert their own country!!! Stop blaming foreigners if YOU, YOURSELF DID NOT even get the BALLS to dare studying in places different than yours (like Germany, France, Sweden, Japan…)!!!! Blame and NO BALLS!!! “Grosse gueule mais Pas de couilles” as we say in France!!! Go to Europe if you dare, deal with another language, other cultural codes (we French are big complainers and are very very rude when behind wheels!!!! And we hate people who cannot speak French properly … like North Americans) and We will see how good some of you will do!!!

Because she stood in line for hours. She is Mexican American because Mexico is in North America. A piece of paper shouldn't give you birth rights

Canda was actually Indians (indigenous inhabitants)land we know them as red Indians & you white Europeans are the intruders your place of origin is Europe just look at yourself in the mirror,can you call yourself the people of Canadian or North American civilization.

Under the British rule, Canada had four provinces. Britain made it as a federal dominion in 1867. It was considered as one of the three British North American colonies. \n \nThough today the majority of Canadians are white, the land that is now “Canada” was first occupied for thousands of years by the aboriginal peoples of North America. \n \nWhen the first European explorers came to Canada they found all regions occupied by native peoples they called “Indians,” thinking they had reached the East India

They outsource so much of their work to India as well so they can pay them basically nothing. Is North Americans can’t find scent jobs because they don’t want to have to pay actual wages

It’s about time they are doing this . Indians have been living in these countries for decades many immigrated from the 60’s . And assimilated and live happily in these countries . But this new set of arrogant ,entitled, semi educated . Immigrants .especially north Indian. Sikh and Punjabi Foreign students have destroyed the image of india . \nThey are rude ,crude ,have no manners not polite , are aggressive ,don’t know how to drive .don’t follow the rules or laws of the land.they think their culture and religion is better that the locals .. and scream racism or Hindu phobia .for every thing.\nThese low class Indians are giving the Indian Americans and other Indians in other countries a bad name .and causing racism for the local Indians like . For the ones who are born and settled in these countries. For decades .\nTime to deport all Sikh and Punjabi. Students as they are the main trouble makers.most barely speak English .
