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.

Mexico is so great all their people want to go to the US, what is that all about, and Canadian people are getting fed up with the left as have Americans

im american and stand with canada and mexico! i wanted to boycott american made products, but everything here is made in china LOL ...

So in other words mexico and canada are saying to the united states that they don't care how many people die of fentanyl. They just want.\n Retaliatory tarrif. Trump should raise the tariff to fifty percent immediately

Canada and Mexico’s 25% does not actually equal US’s 25%. Canada and Mexico are consumers more than producers. They are both addicted to American investments and products and the US wants to bring jobs back to the US.

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.

Fentanyl, Madame President, All ears in the US to hear how we would address the flood of Fentanyl across our southern border. Mexico is corrupt, Cartels are more powerful than the government and military. Madame President doesn't want to Expire to soon by saying anything against the Cartels.

The US has been running a trade deficit with Mexico, China, and Canada for almost two decades now—Canada only makes up 6% of all US imports while the US makes up 63% of all Canadian imports.\n\nCanada will have to find more trade partners besides the US if it doesn't want its consumers paying 25% more for US goods, most of which are mechanical machinery, automotive parts and vehicles, minerals, medical equipment, energy products, and consumer goods.

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

Russia should say they want Alaska back in Mexico should say they want California Arizona, Texas, Colorado back. This is what it sounds like Donald Trump. Did they teach you in kindergarten no take backs ?

Canada and Mexico want to maintain things as they are as long as they can maintain their advantages.

This was the correct decision because the US wants bring jobs back to the USA. Jobs in Mexico vs USA trump will choose jobs in the US; Politely subsidized lumber from Canada vs lumber from the USA easy decision; Dairy from Oh' Canada , a short term squeeze. On behalf of all US citizens I would like to thank the people of El Mehico and Oh' Canada for the help in the disentanglement.

Turdeau is such an immature adolescent; he is woefully ignorant that a country with a positive trade balance can NEVER win a tariff war. Same with Mexico. But sure, if Turdeau and Scheinbaum want to tank their economies, go right ahead.

Canada, Mexico and China have taken advantage of the US by sending $Billions more into the US than the US sent to them. Not fair for them to treat the US in this way. The US wants FAIR trade where both sides send the same amount to each other.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

America doesn't want anything to do with Mexico, except tacos. Tacos are good, but Mexico is bad.

Game on. Time to bankrupt Mexico. It is a failed narco state. Canada? Nice people, but their woke leaders have neglected their responsibilities to the point over half of Canadians want to join the United States. I think the Canadian political class has lost control of their country, and like the US Democratic Party, they are out of touch with the common sense citizen who just wants to work, take care of their families and live in peace with their neighbors.

Why doesn't Canada and Mexico just close their borders and stop drug traffickers? Everyone wants to bag on Trump like fools when this is a easy doable request.

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

I am sure China and Russia wants to form alliance with Canada and Mexico

Why trump want stop and Mexico government will be helping him or he raise tax for Mexico production

Sorry, but not if you want f****** change in Venezuela. Stop running up here. Whining about it and do something about it. Fight like we did. When we fought the British for our freedom and our rights. We didn't run away. We didn't try and go to Mexico. We didn't try to go to Canada.We fought you want your freedom. Do you want a democracy? Do you want your civil rights? fight for them !!!!

Not coming in. Go home. Sorry, not sorry. We are not paying for you. We are not taking on the burden. We the People are not taking the risk of if you are or are not going to break our laws. We the People are tired of it. Go away. Stay in Mexico if you can't go back home to your country. We don't want to pay for you. At all. Not even a dime.

I know of a lot of jobs that went to Mexico. So it isn’t because they don’t have any jobs. Itmwhy do we want them here? If you look at how they live. They live like trash. We really want that eye sore here in America?

This is an injustice to Native Americans and Indigenous Nations that they can not even travel on their own land while foreigners go wherever they want to go on it including to Mexico!

We don't need or want a little mexico int the midwest.

Kick themback into Mexico. Mexico wants them since they let them cross their country.

Donald trump wants to send criminals to Mexico and Colombia but, not all these undocumented criminals are from Mexico or Colombia, we also don't want undocumented people

Why migrants don’t make Mexico great and they want to run?

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

And we blame Mexico for this! ? The US opened the border for Venezuelans. México doesn't want them either.

See Mexico doesn't even want them . Since Mexico is dealing with China send them to China and let them take care of them ?

This is so sad that these people want to come into our country to live when they should fix their own country Mexico is beautiful I don't know why they don't want to live in their country and then they come here with all of their dark spirits and Voodoo and black magic and come in here and try to destroy our people and take from us all the money jobs everything and this has to stop

People will fight back. The more you block them off, the stronger the resistance becomes. What do you do now? It looks like things were better when there was some form of controlled flow of immigrants than this utter chaos. Even if I want to think that this invasion is not okay, it was the US who invaded all their ancestral lands first. Mexico used to be all the way to California extending to Texas. Now, US wants to annex Canada and Greenland.

So we say were going to send our military to the southern border, but the flow of migrants swells to an enormous crowd, I blame Mexico send those assholes back to their country Mexico is COMPLICIT AND THE SOONER WE GET MEXICO TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BETTER, NOW MEXICO MAY WANT TO LEARN THE HARD WAY, WE PREFER THE EASY WAY EITHER WAY MEXICO YOUR GOING TO FEEL THE HEAT

This happened months ago. They need dates for when things actually happen for shorts. Lol yt sucks. How is it ever ok to break laws. Just like me growing up in a Border town I can't just go into Mexico and stay or do what I want when I want I have to follow mx laws lmao yt is a joke and sucks

The two flights to Mexico that got turned away carried less than 100 migrants cost US taxpayers $900,000! CNN might want to mention that. Drumpf used expensive military jets because he just couldn't wait for CBP jets (because he wanted a photo shoot!). He should have to pay for the extra cost out of his pocket, not ours. What will it cost to take migrants back to China? Tax cuts for the billionaire broligarchs cost US money. Using C-130 aircraft is overkill and affects military readiness. Threatening tariffs on our allies is going to spark trade wars. He's a moron.

If President Trump really wants to hurt Colombia, then stop ALL cash transfers from the USA to Colombia. In fact, stop all cash transfers to Mexico, South America, and Central America... permanently!

WHAT?!!!\nThey don’t want their own citizens back?\nYou mean Columbia and Mexico were NOT sending their best?!

Mexico, Canada, Columbia, Geeenland, Denmark, Panama… soon no country will want to trade with us anyway.

Even their own dont want them lol same as mexico , too bad bye bye

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

It’s called desperation folks. Do a little research and find out what these people are trying to get away from! What would you do if you believed that this was the only way to protect your children, your family? I understand that the US doesn’t want criminals coming across our borders and that this wasn’t the way to do it. There are also many normal people. My heart goes out to those that sold everything they had to have to pay the cartels to make it through Mexico, because they won’t let anyone pass through without paying them. I’m sorry for them having to deal with the worst that life could throw at them. I pray that they are able to find another way to live.

When they get to the border from Mexico to the US\nThey want be able to get pass those tall metal fence and about 3000 US troops will be there also.\nI feel so sorry for the women and the kids. They are going to have to turn around and go back. They are going to get hurt from each other. It's to many some are going to get crush.

Every country would have opened fire, including Mexico if masses of people stormed their border like this, but we're wrong for wanting ours protected. Make it make sense ??‍♂️

I honestly can’t blame them. They’re getting free food. Free housing, free healthcare, free clothing, free bus and plane tickets. Tax free jobs. I kind of want to move to Mexico and then come back across the border.

Fox their owm country Venezuela or seek asylum in Mexico. You cant pass a country like Mexico because you want to be choosey about which country to seek asylum from

Go to USA. We dont want them in Mexico. Let usa take care of them

hahahahahhahaaaa... but they run from Mexico to USA... many mexicans,,,, plus millions of South Americans,,,, why do they all want to come to USA.... why do they not go to Brazil or Argentina?
