I have to admit I am not a fan of many Saudi legislators, but this man is made of different moral stuff. Well done my brother.

I'm from a country near Malaysia, used to be a fan of CNN, now the more I see the news presented the more I understand that CNN is full of trash news such as supporting transgender, woke, and Palestinian. I'm fed up with the behavior of Muslims in my country and now with CNN, I'm going to unsubscribe from this channel.

Also fans of The Walking Dead will loooooove Saskatchewan!

It looks like they're fine now CNN quit dividing America look at the football game today everybody's getting along two different beliefs two different fans

Why don't black Indians go to work in Israel? Why do they come to Arab countries? Aren't they fans of Israel? Then work and take oil and gas from Israel.?

No fan of the EU but if it's their turn the EU will respond back which is good. As in Sweden we have incredibly good cooperation with Canada, Brazil but also India and that will be strengthened. Most of them will probably boycott American goods here in Sweden. Trump will probably kick himself in the balls if he confronts the EU because it will backfire on him

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

I am not really a fan of the tariffs Trump is imposing like lightning with Canada. I do think they should stop the walk thought to Us boarder security. I think they should however be an equal partner in securing their boarder. I don’t believe it is as much of a fentanyl thing but maybe I don’t know enough details in that.

I’m a fan of having other countries tapping in to support ?? ❤ ?

Not a Trudeau fan here but I think this is the right response. Although this whole business will most hurt those who are already in deep financial crisis.

Not a fan of Trudeau by any stretch but that was an excellent speech

Tarriffs are irrelevant if other countries and individuals simply stop buying from or trading to the US. I can't buy US products now for ethical reasons. Trump being oblivious to his fan boy's ?? .

Palki Sharma is the very example of just because you can speak well doesn't make you smart. Wasn't she just making bs claims in Oxford that Indians were flaunting their passports and the immigration officer was a fan of India. Like seriously. Where does she even come up with these thoughts? Instead of reporting on real and prevalent issues around the country and making people aware of them, she's always concerned talking about others. A typical neighbour aunty. She probably lives in a bollywood script inside her head where she is the nationalist protagonist keeping the country together lol.

I hope she does only fans instead of fake news,

Get trans out. I’m telling you if ? hits the fan trans will be first to run.

I lived in Venezuela for a couple of years prior to their current situation. I love the Venezuelan people. Not a fan of their government though. I feel for them and have no idea how hard it is for them to start the legal immigration process from the Ven. side. Not sure what the answer is there.

FCK 0FF DONALD TRUMP, YOU S0N 0F A BEACH! FROM A EUROPEAN FAN OF YOURS

Not a fan of Trump, but Colombia backed down 4 hours ago... where's the update video?

I love how most of the people watching this are Trump fans! CNN's days are numbered. Do you think they’ll make another video to correct this nonsense? I doubt it.

Not a fan of Trump, but you get to really understand his animosity towards illegal immigrants in situations like this. How does a country turn away its own citizens. Scum leaders.

President trump i was your fan,and im still your fan now and u will succeed its my own personal beliefs on you definitely will succeed, unfortunately not everyone going to fell the same good feelings for you, you cant win over every single human beings on this entire world,you can try harder anyway you can but i do apologise every body cant love you,good way not wad way why? You have give everything to others to make them smile? You are totally right about everything i do love your mentality keep giving, keep giving why? not keep receiving im sorry i changed the system completely i do apologise its new system's no moore extra help others every body is dead may true god be your side i know you believe in you own god jegus Christ its beautiful to believe in great lord jegus Christ easy rules, welcome to United States of America difficult to get there

It’s not about turning away from their own country’s people it’s about letting know , this imbecile “orange “ laughing stuck that he can’t just dumping brown people all over the South American continent on the whims without any protocol , just because he made a promise to his lunatic maga fans ??

I'm not a trump voter or fan and I think he's a moron, BUT I have a problem with any country that does not want to take back their own citizens!

Not a fan of youtube editing today. Just started this afternoon. Welcome to our new failed society

Not a trump fan. But this I agree

I am a big fan of this journalist. She is a brain with beauty on the top. So eloquent and elegant !!?

Not a fan of trump but this has to happen it’s so rampant. Canada will fall victim next, in fact we are in the midst of it with student visas that expire and asylum is then requested, but we are too scared to do anything and would rather see our country slowly die for fear of speaking up.

No different than when Biden did it. Deportation happen regularly!! The difference now, tRump is making it about himself, using unnecessary military funds and service members to make it all appear as if he is doing something major, and for all his fans, who do not keep up with what our govt does routinely, they are fooled into thinking tRump is doing something... HE ISN'T. tRump is simply continuing the greatest role he has ever played and the audience has no idea they are stroking the ego of a true narcissist.

im not a trump fan ,,,,but he is doing the right thing for his country ,,,,europe should do the same,,,,WAKE UP EUROPE

I am not a fan of Trump because of his power hungry personality, but I don't know why Biden did what he did. ?

big fan of palki's news coverage? but she’s mistaken with the visa rejections, it’s actually shameful outcome! ever heard of “uninvited guests”? irrespective whether it’s biased against India, let me remind it’s hosting country’s prerogative plus reflect on why folks still die hard to go there. just think ?

He fan of Zionist Tommy Robinson

Dear Palki Sharma \nMa’am you’re a great presenter and whenever you’re videos come online I love watching them as your reporting style is elegantly presented so your listeners can comprehend what you’re saying.\nI’m a fan of your reporting style.\nCarry on the great work.

I am sorry I am not able to understand the paradox. Less than an year ago you mentioned, in Oxford, that based upon your ‘personal yet unquantifiable’ experience at the UK border sic ‘where Indians were flaunting their passport and NONE of them in the self doubt of past century. the Immigration officer was a fan of India’? \n\nThen, your personal anecdotal account at an International stage doesn’t represent a tiny bit of reality. In most of the Schengen country we are called a ‘third world’ at immigration and always looked with a doubt. You dont have to travel these countries to get beyond your personal experience but just have a look at the queue at the US embassy in Delhi, and the way one is treated, you would have had your data. \n\nAnd now, in this video you say that a similar Immigration officer is denying visa to Indians. \n\nWhat changed in 8months?

Madam is such a hypocrite. While wearing yellow sarhi, she said that even immigration officers are fans of India & pay standing ovation to Indian passport, this is the power of India...

I am your fan. But you seem to be very defensive in your opinion here. Why?

Palki fans

This is news only for Fatty Palki and her fans. Just bcoz u yell night and day does not mean u are vishwa guru. Population is unskilled and unemployable like Fake degree PM- Almost 99.9% population in India wants to immigrate to foreign shores legally or illegally.

DIVIDE AND RULE. \nOur biggest threat is ISRAEL, an European, UK colony. They're always pushing us towards wars, bribing our politicians and media while creating enomousity within Indians either based on religion, cast, class etc. Fanning the flames of hatred. Since normalizing our relationship with Israel, India has made more enemies. Israel has only spread hatred here. DIVIDE AND RULE, Same European, UK strategy to control our population. Time to kick these Israelis out of our country and unite if we want to progress.

Why mark or mart sound like trump must be a huge fan

This is what happens when the prime minister is more concerned about using the right pronouns, censoring his political opponents, and acting like a fan girl at a Taylor Swift concert while his country is burning. If you want change, never vote Liberal again!

Not a fan of Donny in the slightest but if he can pressure our government into doing the bare minimum when it comes to immigration then I'm happy for the silver lining

I'm no fan of these illegal migrants, but attacking a lynchpin of the US democracy and one of the primary bases for guaranteeing the citizenship of ex-slaves/Black Americans ain't the way.

I am very big fan xi ch

First you choose 3 times in a raw communist and then everyone is surprised? Not a fan of Trump but he's right. Canada nowadays can be in the best case scenario 51 state and this Cubanian guy can be governor. You got what you deserved for. Anyway I'm from Europe and we got the same shit here. Central Europe is still somehow OK but west it's a crap. On the other hand on east we have this syphilis, gas station that pretends to be a country who attacks everyone around without any reason.

Cheap rates in Montreal ??? The shit hot the fan, right after 2021 when this video was made...

So, who in Canada is going to step up and start the road to housing recovery? Will it be the lumber companies, who charge us more for our own wood than they do the Americans, Europeans and Chinese? Or how about the real estate speculator who HAS to double his profit with every deal so he can appease his greedy wife and spoiled brat kids? Oh, and NO LAND in BC or Ontario will ever be given over to affordable housing. That would be an oxymoron. Land is TOOOO valuable to give it over to NON-PROFIT housing. Fuck that. My kids ain't gonna grow up next to a housing slum. Or, how about the government??? They have the answers don't they? Isn't that why we elect them, put our trust in them, pay our fucking taxes to them?? What say, Government of Canada??? Are you going to step up and solve the problem or just keep giving the rich more incentive to crush the rest of us?? WTF!! Who is in charge and who really cares??? ANYONE??? What about the average able bodied Canadian young man and woman? Would you like a job doing something meaningful and constructive?? How about a career in the building sciences and trades? \nWhat's that? You don't get out of bed for less than 50.00 per hour? And you don't want to work for it, you just want to show up, punch the clock and let your union rep do your bidding for you??? \nFirst: GET A FUCKING EDUCATION, as in learn a trade or profession. Oh, but that would require you to put in the time and earn your skills. What's that? Too much bullshit for you? You just want to show up, do nothing and be handed a pay check of 2 grand a week...JUST FOR BREATHING THE FUCKING AIR??? \nIf you are looking to blame anybody for the state of this nation, just look in the mirror Millennials and Gen Z'ers. The future is right there in front of you, but you are too stupid, too weak and too much of a snow flake to do anything to secure it for yourself? \nSo, when it comes time to retire????....Dont cry when you find out the pension account is empty because you couldn't see past your self indulgence to realize that...\nYOUR FUTURE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE TO SECURE. NO BODY ELSE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR WELL BEING. It's all up to you Canada. \nOh, and about that trillion dollar windfall some of you are about to inherit. If anyone thinks that is a good thing, think again. THE WEALTH GAP IS GOING TO GET SO BIG there will never be parody and this will become a 4th world nation where 2 classes are all there is...RICH!!!!! and poor. 99 1/2 % to 1/2 %. That will be the ratio after the great wealth transfer. \nYour world Millennials and Gen Z'ers. Most or all of us will be gone by the time the shit hits the fan. Good luck with the party!
