Trump is doing exactly the right thing to protect his country from illegal people and illegal trade and he will definitely succeed. The European Union must do the same.

Trump is actually helping Canada with this move. Governments have to fight tooth and nail these days to get protectionist laws passed and protect their industry but here Trump just made Canada do it. The Trump administration knows what they are doing.

Now Trump will impose 50% tariff on Mexico and Canada and they will collapse.

Creo que Trump para Tesla

Trump is ready and expects the unexpected, let's wait and see Trump's next action and response.

Trump's reaction to canada and Mexico traffi counter attack.What will Trump do now.American people are ready to meet any consequences related to\nTrade TRAFFI \nWait and watch Trump's\nCounter attack

No big surprise, here. Trump announced 25% tariffs some time ago. Not much leadership, other than Captain Ford waving his new ball cap! Rich people can afford tariffs, we ordinary people are the one's to feel the pain. Nothing new again!

Yea I don’t believe it’s the fentanyl that’s the issue Trump has, I believe it’s the business with China. China is using the benefit of both of these countries free trade agreement and Trump is punishing Canada and Mexico for it.

go canada, go candada, germany supports you! \nF trump.

Canada and Mexico should quit NAFTA and apply to join the EU. If Trump wants to isolate the US, he can knock himself out.

This is old news from last year. Is a Fake News didn’t happen after Trump.

trump playing his trumpet...usa is losing it and its ahowing

trump = train wreck. red state welfare farmers are gonna lose their family farms.

Trump elected by people \nBehaves like dictator ?

Come on Mexico 25 % on USA ..narcissist racist ...Trump will look so weak when needs to removes them

Trump is a foolish bully! Canada, we in Australia stand with you!

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.

What does Trump gain personally from this?

Diesem Trump würde ich gar nichts mehr liefern soll er doch zu sehen wie er fertig wird.

Mister Trump? REALLY?

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

Just remember, 1/2 of America didn't want Trump

Justin T is a puppet. Mostly of Canadians cannot wait for him to go.\nPresident Trump should increase the tariff. \nThey are not the only country who has rich resources.

Hopefully people around the world respond by buying as little as possible from the US (especially from the billionaires and states that support Trump). Trump is going to try to divide and conquer, and if the US will attack Canada, no democracy is immune.

ah yes...those countries which offer nothing aside from crime and corruption. Somalia has the biggest scroungers - UK knows this. ... Well done Trump! hope other countries follow suit.

50 % Mr Trump to tyrant Trudeau and open border send all Ilegals to Canada all Venezuela gangs Haiti Honduras They will go instead to their countries Canada is communist country They are playing with fire Europe has no money give free

Retaliatory tariffs cause the Trump ordered tariffs to double. This will only get worse.

Canada is just a joke to Trump, partner seems out of question

Ironically, Trump's tarrifs could be good for the environment as they will cause recessions in b many countries, reduce Worldwide consumption, production and carbon emissions ?

And how exactly were Canada and Mexico supposed to address those issues? Trump knows those countries can’t resolve them on demand. So what is Trump’s endgame here?

Good for Canada to docking it to us like Trump did it go them. Actually Canada should have increased their tariffs to 50%.

Awe how cute of them ...fifty percent tarriff monday morning president Trump...show them your not playing with em ..military if needed

How Trump is shooting his own feet..

Trump wants to give Canada the same treatment Putin is giving to Ukraine.

The only reason Trump puts tariffs is to replace the taxes of the rich with import taxes that will be paid mainly by the poor. It is about pleasing the rich.

Trump ❤❤❤❤ will show the world USA is back ! ! We can and will be self sufficient.\nNo more free rides to countries taking advantage of us MADE IN USA

I dont like Trudeau but this is the Golden Opputuniry for Trudeau to Bounce BACK as a STRONG leader and if manages to pull up CANADA and humble TRUMP then he will become a HERO but looking at the Trudeau Past Records dealing with BIG Countries, it seems TRUMP will swallow him without WATER. All the BEST CANADA and Canadians

Cant believe that trudeau is making more sense than trump.

What exactly does Trump want Canada to do about the border situation? I can’t find any specific information.

Trump is such a genius! But that others can impose tariffs, too is just unfair!!! ?

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Pollierve will never be Prime minister if the people have their way. He is a Trump supporter.??

I am not from the USA but after looking at some of these comments. \nI think you need Trump

Don't vote for Ford, people, he spent years kissing up to Trump before these tariffs.

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

Trump is off his rockers !!!

Trump is a loony. Third time lucky.

Trump is a rabid dog. 25% on friends and 10% on China?!?

Elon and Trump is reverting income tax to consumption tax, destroying Tesla competition and resurrecting fascism at the same time, thats impressive even for people that expected the worst.

I'm a US dual citizen. I live abroad, in Asia, so I'm not affected but this is just so dismaying. There is utterly no reason for starting this chaos. The American people voted for Trump (who knows why) and thus chaos and suffering is what people get.
