MEXICO AND CANADA ARE SAYING 100% TARIFF ON ALL GOODS MADE IN USA UNTIL ALL YOUR GUNS STOP COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY

If US want tariff, mexico is no match to US. Mexico would tank right up when it play against US. Look at china now when US pull out. Trump only need mexico to stop the illegal and do some show and you will be safe from Tariff. Trying to act tough is not going to do wonder to mexico.

LOL I don’t think even the most left-wing Democrat is scared of anything the president of Mexico threatens with. ??\n\nIf really cheap, illegal, migrant labor is stopped, then the tariffs put on Mexican produce that’s imported will allow farmers to compete with those prices here in the United States. And they will be able to pay a higher wage and lots of legal migrant workers will go and pick produce.

Tax on foreign countries to ensure domestic economy! Please stop lying! Mexico ? Cartel! Tariffs look it up you dummies! Boycott CNN! The tax goes to the government! We the people!

The ball is in her court, either stop illegal immigrants or pay tariffs.

I HOPE HE PUTS TARIFFS ON MEXICO.... HES ABOUT TO LEARN HOW MEXICO NOT GOING TO GIVE AN F ABOUT MIGRANTS AND DRUGS ,,YOU THINK IS BAD NOW ... WAIT UNTIL THEY REALLY STOP GIVING A SH....

Tariffs don't solve the illegal drug consumption in the United States neither stops the flow of weapons from the US to the cartels.

Trump didn’t stop the war within 24hrs if he was elected has promise and he will not deport anyone, he doesn’t understand how tariffs work. He’s all mouth, just talk talk that’s all.

Maybe the tariff will reshape Mexico's willingness to help us stop the illegals from coming over the border.

Stop wire transfers to Mexico from the US.....see how quick they come with hat in hand begging for more money. You always negotiate from a position of strength, never one of weakness. We are the worlds biggest consumer, we have the power and its time to use it. BTW a 10% -25% tariff on something that has a 300% markup is nothing.

he wont stop with tariffs -- he'll gut entitlements next. The sad part is, those who voted for trump voted for this dumpster fire of a presidency that hasn't even begun yet. We will all pay but I'm not forgetting how we got here.

All of a sudden we have to be careful of what Mexico’s president has to say? We are the strongest economy and we’ve been put to the test. We can do with or without. Tariffs mean better competition and manufacturing jobs to increase here in the US; more jobs = more money being earned and spent within our economy. What a slap on our American face with her statement when they’re the ones supplying the drugs. Let’s stop the consumption and see how well their economy and politics do.

Tariffs are important it saves jobs in America by not allowing countries to dump extra cheap products in the country to run business in America out of business like what just happened in Chicago with a tire plant cheap tires coming from China forced a sumitomo tire plant in Chicago to close and lay off American workers. Stop listening to these people on the media who gets their talking points from the same Globalist that is destroying America ?

Tariffs are an effective negotiation tool Trump used during his first term. Mexico does very little with cartels who run the border. They don't stop the trains and caravans coming through their country or enforce the stay-in-Mexico rule but...they will on Jan 20th, 2025.

There are no tariffs that will stop the drug problem in the USA! They are also made in the USA by the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry and other nefarious individuals, ever watch Breaking Bad Donnie those labs are everywhere, defunding the DEA is not going to help the situation, defunding education isn't going to help ! Stop the problem at home also!!!

If tariffs costs are not paid by the country they're placed on, then why would she care? It doesn't affect Mexico, it affects the US, so why not just say, go ahead you're not gonna hurt us in anyway and it's not gonna stop migrants or Americans from carrying drugs over the border. Trump needs to look at our laws if he wants to stop Americans from being drug mules..

This tariff is about stopping illegals, put 25% on and they will stop any migration going thru mexico

To The Mexican president, stop the madness at the border, then we will talk about tariffs.

If Mexico don't want to pay tariffs then they need to control their Southern border because everybody comes through Mexico they're doing absolutely nothing to stop it

Well, crack down on their borders stop allowing people to break into America control their drug trade or get tariffs.

this is literally just a negotiating tactic of imposing tariffs to get the border countries to stop the flow of immigration and drugs/cartel gang activity from there own side and for them to pay for it with there own money while we do what is needed on our side of border and then there will be no tariffs imposed on Mexico or Canada if you can't see this then you shouldn't be concerning yourself with politics or business as it will be too much for you to understand

Equation is simple. Stop the flow of undocumented immigrants and illegal drugs into the US. Secure the border. Fight the cartels. The drug issue is a shared responsibility and Mexico needs to step up. 75000 americans die from drug overdoses every year. Tariffs are a means to end the fentanyl epidemic

Oh, Mexico will respond in kind??????. Let see Mexico. There is a reason why Chinese economic stop growing after Trump Tariffs which Biden kept.

The media loves Trump cuz he gives them news. Stop it with this tariff crap, Trump must be loco but he isn't stupid. He's not going to do shit just like his great and beautiful wall and how Mexico was going to pay for. Trump know knows the U.S isn't in no position to be messing with our great economy right now. Trump knows that he needs to ride Biden great economy for as long that he can in order to look good. Trump knows he doesn't have no pandemic to blame now and he's expecting to govern with normality. Mexico isn't scare of the U.S threats cuz Mexico has plenty of leverage and the new Mexico president isn't going to take shit from Trump.??‍♂️

Once the tariffs are in place, all Canadians and Mexicans should stop shopping at any American store like Walmart or home Depot.

How is tariffs from Mexico going to affect us in anyway? The point of tariffs is to stop businesses from moving to Mexico and shipping their products into the U.S. We wont be paying them anything because we dont ship anything there

Tariffs are used as negotiation, Mexico will stop these caravans, or they will be tariffed. America has the upper hand when it comes to trade. \nMexico is a Third World country .

Its simple. Help Trump reinstate remain in Mexico, stop licking the balls of rhe cartel, and stop.allowing thousands to enter our country illegally, and the tariffs go away.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to retaliate with her own tariffs against the United States, after President-elect Trump suggested he would impose a 25 percent tax on imported goods from Mexico if her country did not stop the flow of drugs across the border. \n \nIn remarks on Tuesday, Sheinbaum said that drugs were a U.S. problem, not a Mexican problem, and suggested they could harm U.S. automakers with plants on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

It won't stop with the illegals. A mass round up and deportation is just phase 1 of Trumps plan. He will go after legal immigrants in phase 2. What maga morons dont understand is that illegals make up a pretty big part of the labor force in America. Mass deportation and the 60% tariff of anything from China (which is 90% of all goods sold in America) and 20% on everything ( food, oil, etc) will crash the economy and send us into a recession. You can't put high tariffs, which the end consumer (us) will end up paying and make things cheaper. It's like all common sense went out the window.

That’s it deport all, abandon supporting Ukrain, support Putin , exit from NATO , put tariffs on all imports, stop transgender and all rights , tear down the constitution etc. After all he was given an overwhelming mandate at the 2024 election

Crazy this people lead our government! President is not king! Congress makes the laws! They are not illegal genius! The majority are in the asylum process, a legal process. They are not illegal until they have a deportation hearing! Stop and Frisk! So, how are 1000% percent tariffs, deporting all the immigrants that pick our products and massive government spending on a wall and deportation is gonna lower inflation, groceries and interest rates. No American is willing to pick fruits for pennies, if they demand 20 an hour, a pound of strawberries or fruit are gonna cost 30 bucks! Seems Trump and GOP had no policies just empty promises! Probably hopping democrats or courts to block the polices so they can say we tried. Like the big beautiful wall Mexico paid for! Wait! If Trump built a wall last time, why we need a new wall! Concepts of a wall like Obamacare! I hope Trump supporters are not on Obamacare care or Welfare- y’all will be forced to work the fields.

When produce prices jump in the stores because a lack of labor? When building contractors lose a portion of there labor building houses?? When the meat processors like tyson meats and others have illegals working through labor contractors!!!! Yes those of you who say how can they work? Well \nThe corporations give lip service but use contractors to avoid legal issues and inturn labor contractors uses temps lol and other modes!! \nWe are short of labors in these fields of employment. \nId like to see our MAGA voters go out and hoe weeds ???? Or harvest lettuce or tomatoes or bell peppers or plum on 8 foot ladders all day\nOr pore foundational cement for houses? This field has tons of illegals!!!!\nYou think you just experienced inflation!!!! Ha ha. Hold on to your hats because with the extremes in weather in the produce growing areas and labor shortage reducing yield further!!!! Prices in the stores will jump!!! That house may take 6 to 8 months to move in with a 10 % jump.in the price!!!\nAnd if trump put troops on the border the new president in Mexico has stated she will close the borders. So all of those parts and components produced needed for final assembly were stop.\nUnemployment will rise as companies get smaller profits add trumps tariffs. Youll add a trade war!!!!\nPrices go up because tariffs are a tax!!!! Consumers alway get those fees back on to the end user!!!! I give it 12 to 14 months. This economy will spiral downward. By the way, Europe and China have stated they will increase tariffs on items imported from America!!!!\nSo you will have a full blown trade war and products stop being sold!!!! Come folks figure it on out!!!! This is high school basic macro economic models !!!!!!!! Not rocket science here\n,,, your angry because you just experiencedthe back side of a pandemic . Now you want to have trump give you a 1930 solution froM MR. HOOVER. !!!! REMEMBER THE DEPRESSION!!!!

Too many people are so uneducated about what Trump is really going to do!! They do NOT understand how tariffs work!! Unlike Kamala’s plan to stop the price gouging in the grocery stores…the GOP will drive prices through the roof!!! Anyone who voted for Trump has a lot of moments ahead of finding out what he was claiming he would do that 1) either he can’t because he doesn’t have the authority to just play God or 2) he had not intended the results that people thought in the first place!! \nBut it is truly going to be a scary time as we watch unemployment start to skyrocket, especially as he gets rid of career government employees!! The unemployment numbers under Biden soon will be a distant memory!! After all, Biden has continued to drop unemployment numbers on a monthly basis, breaking all prior records of low unemployment on a monthly basis for the past 4 years!! The inflation rate which did not include costs of food, were also dropping consistently including this past month!! I believe it under 3% by close to 1/2 a percentage point!\nBut what will truly be frightening will truly be if he accomplishes his plan to get rid of SSI, Medicare & Medicaid as well as the Affordable Care Act!! I’m sure millions are also hoping the $35 cap on Insulin doesn’t just stop before they have to pickup their next prescription! \nBottom line: when in our History have we ever faced a more frightening future at the whim of the Dictator in the White House??

When the magats have to stop spending money on red hats, gold shoes, fake NFT's, trumpy bears, my pillows, trump diapers and his other imports because of tariffs, maybe they will be happy.

Did Trudeau copy President Trump's tariff and immigration policy? Stop the incentives.

Maybe if we stop putting sanctions and tariffs on these other countries, this wouldn't be happening. We sure do like playing victim a lot..
