Live on your land. Don't be a threat to other people living on their land

I wonder what Americans will say when some country decides to threat Americans in their country the same way.

I think people missed the point TOTALLY. The Estrogen medication, etc. is an added costs. \nDiabetics are struck off the military for this very reason - only SMALL exceptions are made if the condition is minuscule.\n\nAlso the combat situations are very demanding. What happens if there is a war? FOOD and LIFE SAVING MEDICINE has a hard time getting to our troops … and now you want to PRIORITIZE shipping ESTROGEN to the front lines when you have a hard enough time getting food and life saving medication to the front lines? \n\nWell then … that now opens the door for diabetics and ANYONE ELSE with an illness that requires medication to DEMAND to be let into the military. \n\nAnd generally Trans people make up only 0.05% of the US population so I call \nBull that thousands of key positions will go I filled for decades. (What is this commander smoking)?\n\nAnd if you have an Identity trauma that forced you to change your sex … what are you going to do behind enemy lines when your Estrogen can’t get through and you begin to revert back to your biology? \n\nHorrible thing to say, but women have been raised and live with the threat of rape and have learned to become resilient over DECADES of being and living as a woman. What are you going to do if you are a Trans woman and get raped in the military for the first time? (Women have a certain resilience in this area that a man just does not have and it comes from living life as a woman - from birth).\n\nEven in peace time, transport problems do happen in remote areas … what happens when you run out of Estrogen and your next supply is 10 months away due to another outbreak of COVID and food, life saving medicine and COVID supplies are prioritized over your Estrogen? I know what will happen … you will whine, stomp your feet and cry like a baby that a critically ill soldier - in death’s door - is getting life saving medication over your Estrogen.\n\nMeanwhile when tampons and maxipads are late female soldiers just do what women have done for centuries … they just suck it up and keep on going.\n\nDemanding Male Privilege as a Trans Woman is pretty hypocritical.

DONOLD is nothing but empty threats. Only his dumb voters believe the con man.

I hope he deports the Muslims back to Arabia. They’re a bigger threat to national security.

Because of the war in Ukraine and all the sanctions against Russia. The economy of the European Union is collapsing, European countries are unable to independently fight any threat from a super-country. Perhaps Britain knew something and left the European Union. And now we see what the USA is doing. They just want to take away what is weak and this is just the beginning. Therefore, think again about the cause of this war and the consequences, about all the sanctions against Russia. They cause great harm to Europe.

Trudeau and Canada’s threats have no teeth. It’s like a child saying it will hold its breath until it gets its way.

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.

Mexican and Canadian threats, are the equivalent to, threats of spoiled children, against their Good Parents! Unreal.

The post-war world order is now over. It's time for Canada to drop out of NATO and NORAD (what is the point of a defensive strategic alliance with the only country in the world that is openly threatening you with annexation?) and expel all American military and government personnel in the country. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc need to form a new strategic and economic bloc oriented toward the goal of breaking America, just as we did with the Soviets when they were the largest threat to global peace and prosperity. Sadly, it is more likely that we will allow the Americans to divide and conquer us... literally!

It is a national security threat to America to have a country to the north controlled by the WEF and a rogue nation to the south controlled by the cartels.

The last time Mexico tried to ignore president Trump's tariff threats Mexican farmers stood up against its own government for not listening to president Trump, let's wait and see how the people feel about this. ?

The US is Canada’s biggest threat. This is war

If Americans are laughing or proud about their president I hope they understand that those sentiments might change drastically. It's not a threat by any means, I am all for pacific means to resolve conflicts but if push comes to shove and sovereignty has been flirted as leverage, Americans should realize that they cannot sit happy and still.

TO GET BACK YOUR COUNTRY FROM IMMIGRATION THREAT U.S. OUGHT TO AMMEND CONSTITUTION LARGELY BY UNITING THE WHITE AMERICANS ONLY ELSE AFRO ASIANS MIGHT RULE U.S. AND THE YANKEES COULD BE A REFUGEE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY AFTER FEW DECADES. OVER THE TO IS ONGOING ISLAMIC TERRORISM RECENTLY EXPERIENCED IN NEW ORLEANS

This is pure aggression by Maga sociopaths and billionaires geo political delusions,along with threats of 51 state.\nPanama,Greenland,Mexico. They are not kidding. The Maga clones in Canada,smith,moe,PP and every “ conservatives “ political party is pure Maga clones and bootlickers. They are not loyal to the country they’re loyal to their extremist maga ideology of hateful rhetoric and morally bankrupt ideology. Not to Canada,look at the response from PP and smith…disgraceful \nWe need political leadership that is Canadian not right wingnuts from Amerikkka. That means Maga.\nAmericans are our closest friends and allies…but Maga is a cancer on society and freedom,democracy and sane government,in America and damn sure in Canada…

The single most significant threat to world peace, stability and prosperity is the American voter.\n\nIf I was to advise the Canadian government, I would cancel all current and future contracts with American defense Corporations and sell off all American-made military hardware from Canadian stocks and re-equip with European military hardware and South Korean Tanks. Canada could make excellent use of the Saab Gripen.

Trump is too busy golfing and tossing threats.

Trudeau is a wise intelligent well spoken man....he has a good heart....he is humble and will not allow insults ridicule threats accusations to create division....Trump respects Trudeau...Trump would gladly hire Trudeau...knowing he is an honest truthful trustworthy man...Trudeau word is good and bond....Trump and Trudeau can work well together....Wise men create peace fools create war.....do unto others as you want done to you....is the golden rule....it never fails....in difficult situations good people will outlast fools...Love endures all things....Love never fails....There are bad people trying to control Trump....they are using him as a scapegoat.....

Dear Canadian, do you still see russia as bigger threat?

Canadian here ... I'm so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canadians stand united from the threat from the usa and are prepared to stay the course however long that is. Perhaps it's time Canada uncouples our economy from the usa and diversify asap ... We Canadians are already choosing Canadian products and boycotting all usa products

It’s not a threat anymore

Could Donald Trump be following in the failed foot steps of Bibi Nutanyahoo of Israel or Adolf Hitler wirh his immigration/ war policy ? \nNo body is sure but do not self-deport from the United States because of fear.\nNevertheless, it appears that President Donald Trump has to start a war to protect himself from serving jail time or paying a multi-million dollar fine for his crimes. Therefore, upon taking charge of the United States government, on January 20, 2025,, he will try to:\n1.Replace United States generals in the military that he can not totally trust due to their allegiance to the Constitution or other laws.\n2, Remove a significant number of undocumented migrants and try to secure the Mexican border against threats to his Administration.\n3. Order the United States military, in the Summer of 2025, to take control of four Mexican provinces next to the state of Texas: Nuevo Leon,Tamaulipas , Coahuila and Sonora.\n\n4. Order the United States military to attack Iran and China

On every corner is a homeless Citizen or a Veteran sleeping on the sidewalk unable to get any sort of assistance, housing is scarce and rent is high, while many working Americans can barely afford to put food on the table, keep the lights on and pay rent?? \nThis is NOT ok. We need to ramp up the border security. What makes them think they can avoid deportation long term?? What makes them think they deserve assistance while our own people are suffering and dying on the streets? Why should we care about immigrants when we can't help our own people??! Make it make sense!! I didn't agree to give illegals a free ride while working my a$$ off while the threat of homelessness or extreme poverty hanging over my head every effing day!!!

USA should ban direct entry to Canadians because most of Islamist have got assylum in Canada which is threat to US.

Although, I don’t like trump! This should be a regular thing under all presidents. No way people that come here illegally should be sleeping comfortably! This should be a national security threat!

The United States has full surveillance commercialism. That means that Canada Customs could theoretically pay to find the answers to questions like: Does this person have a tendency to criminality or violence? Does this person pose a threat to children, law enforcement, or Canadian society? Is this person likely to be a burden on Canada's health care system?.... All of that information is available on every single American for a price. In fact, because Facebook/Meta and Google etc store their information in the United States, they could likely also give that information about every single Canadian.

Thank you mister trump for defendin our nation against ?internal threat to our sovereignty and our right to have good paying jobs

As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, multiple times, I completely agree with the president’s anti-trans policy in the military. Soldiers have a hard enough job as it is much less stacking on some DEI nonsense. That’s only gonna take time away from their training and ultimately DEI is going to 100% negatively affect the mission and their safety. Of personally over a 10 year period served with a couple gay and lesbian Service members and never once was what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom ever an issue or counter to the mission but this new age woke DEI nonsense is completely counterproductive, dangerous, And disrespectful to the non-DEI service members. The simple act of picking an unqualified, military leader, who’s responsible for the care and lives solely on the gender, ethnicity, religion, or pronoun, and not on merit, experience, competency, or any of the other real requirements for a military leader is literally the most irresponsible, dangerous, and disrespectful thing you can do to the men and women who have literally dedicated their life for years in service of our country! There’s absolutely no excuse on this planet that would make it ok. Being a service member in combat is already the most stressful job on the planet, but to make them take their focus off of the immediate threat to focus on political correctness or someone’s magical mystery pronoun while trying to prioritize and mitigate threats and combat is the most asinine and literally dangerous Nonsense I’ve ever heard!??????

Western media is a threat to world peace. Time to shut down CNN BBC FOX MSNBC SKYNEWS CBS. The world is fed up of your lies

It started because of Trump's threats! The felon just loves to create panic and chaos! This is not a legit reporter but a MAGA liar! Trump has been creating a panic since before he took his illegitimate oath!

Time to call in Delta force!! This is a direct threat on our country and they should be treated as such!! Their own country doesn’t want these people??

Immigrants are only allowed to flee to the nearest safe country for asylum. They should then try to repatriate back when the threat is gone. The world should try and help that war torn country so that their citizens can return.

Calm down, this is going to get worse. Now with Trump's threats and taxation and since before the Second World War, US foreign policy is to continue to fuel wars around the world, weakening economies and thereby indirectly financing hunger and unemployment. The plan will backfire. Wait and see!!!

maduro is behind this, helped by lopez obrador/sheinbaum from Mexico. Mr. President Trump, seize these guys once and for all. Sir, this is an authentic threat to America.

You’re forgetting to report that Colombian President (or whatever) has changed his mind and now accepting his citizens after tariff threats ??

They didnt agree of how it was handled and didnt respect international laws not to mention those people were not threated like humans beings during the deportation which is a human right violation

We feel for these people however bc there are criminals and rapists amongst them we cannot and should not let them in bc it's a threat to the American people

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

? lmao is there finally someone standing up to trump. Hahahaha. Trump is getting humbled by other countries. Because we America can't ?what a darn moron. Tariffs cost America alot more money on goods when those countries just bring up the price for Americans so they can pay those tarrifs. It's been proven already with Mexico.a civic built in Mexico use to cost Americans 20k now its up to 40k because of dumb ass donald bringing tariffs. Bro no one cares about your threats trump there just empty when those countries tell u go f yourself. What a darn idiot.this is what you voted for ?

He can make threats about tariffs, but the Media won't tell you that those countries are starting to charge 25% tariffs to accept illegal aliens back. So he might look like a good president? He's going to make the economy fail.?

UPDATE: Less than an hour after Trump made these threats the Colombia sent the president’s plane to collect their deported criminal migrants on our behalf and all tariffs have been dropped. CNN viewers are morons.

Trump's constant threat of tariffs only instills in our trading partner that they need to find someone new to trade with. Americans hear the word tariff out of Trump's mouth and they say yes, yes and they should be saying NO, NO. America is just not a reliable alli.

Update your viewers the tariff threats just worked well big time, a win for Trump. Sorry, I forgot you only cover what is negative about Republicans

Just the Bully in Chief, the countries of the world increasingly view the US as a hostile threat to freedom and democracy....

Columbia folds under threat of tariffs over illegal immigration. There fixed your cheesy headline

Columbia retalitory threats of matching tariffs is no threat at all.\nBrazil and Switzerland would be ecstatic to make up for the covfefe exported from columbia to the USA.\nThat's not a typo. Covfefe is just coffee identifying as something else.

Yet they won't report the tariff threats worked and that Columbia has nor decided to take back their illegal immigrants and even sending their own plane to do so!

When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks suspiciously like a nail. The tariff threats are becoming boring now.
