Looks like he will put 25% tariffs on every country in the world.

When you put a 25% tariff on your sons cocaine addiction...?

PUT TARIFFS ON THE COCAINE LOL

China slapped bans on just about all Australians goods a few years ago. It was a wake up call for Australia as they realised they had relied too heavily on the Chinese market. So they found new export markets for their products. China, meanwhile experienced power shortages and realised they actually did need Australian coal. They have dropped all the tariffs and Australia is no longer putting all their eggs in one basket. The same will happen with US tariffs. Exporters will find new markets. The US will pay more or miss out.

He should put tariffs on the drugs that get smuggled instead of legal goods ?

He's insane if he thinks he can just randomly put 25% tariffs on countries. It will lead to mass worldwide boycotts of US products.

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .

Americans really dont understand tariffs, Tariffs Hurt the country PUTTING THE TARIFFS ON, SANCTIONS hurts the country that they are PUT ON, i think americans get confused

Putting a a tariff on Columbia will put more of them out of work. Where does Trump think they will then go for jobs?

I encourage other countries to do the same. The United States cannot afford to put tariffs on every country. It will piss of even MAGA if everything costs too much.

Trump is full of BS. Why didn't he put tariffs on Mexico. They also refused to allow those flights to land in Mexico. He is picking on a country where trade is not really significant.

You could show a 100 stories like this a day and Trump would still put tariffs on Canada, it was NEVER about the boarder.....

Looks like we need to put tariffs on USA to solve this problem.

Put 50% tariff on Trump. Fix your side of the border, Trump.

Put tariffs on them now

Not just immigration we will be putting tariffs on Europe and Canada, you wont freeloading off of u.s taxpayers anymore…

Waiting for Trump to put 100% tariff on Canada and such old pricks loose social security and go to pizza delivery at 80.

Proof that gringos do not respect Mexicans at all… that’s fine, hit the economy in the belt and relate to inflations! I hope Trump puts those Tariffs in motion! These prices are not going down! Be realistic.

Canada is in recession and Please send them back ASAP to India. Canada has already become India 2.0. Oh Boy...Student's please go back to India because the young Canadins needs jobs too. Hope they speed up the process and Mr. Trump has already in the process of putting 25 % tariff unless we get our border secured. Game over folks, Please return.

He couldn't get the last President of Mexico to pay for his so called wall, then embezzled funds raised by US citizens to build it, then had a completion ceremony, which was a lie. What was built was about 10 miles of fencing that was being climbed by sun down the same day. His idea was to shoot all those who crossed in the legs or dig a moat and fill it full of alligators. Now he thinks that putting tariffs on goods coming in from other countries will hurt THEM, but it doesn't, it hurts us the American consumers, so who he really wants to hurt is us, the American public. Effectively he has now raised OUR COST OF GOODS BY 25%. The same stupid thing he did his last time around!

The basic lesson from the Economy. How did China become rich and have high technology? Thanks to cheap labor, American capital, and factories, we built in China...Thanks to Chinese capital and technology Mexico will be one of the biggest producers of electric vehicles..They don't need the American market. This planet has 9 billion potential customers...The right thing to do was not to put tariffs but to open an EV factory in the USA using Chinese technology and money and everybody would benefit except Elon Musk and gas and oil corporations ..BYD or NIO better than Tesla costs about 25,000$ only... Tesla sells batteries for EVs for 26 000$...The same battery made in China costs 7.000$ because China has its own lithium. We should say goodbye to Elon Musk batteries and import batteries from China or make a lithium deal with Bolivia as China did. We would have American EVs better than Tesla for just 25.000-30.000$.\nCustomers are paying tariffs and this money goes to the government...Adding tariffs on most of foreign products is the faster way to create the Great Depression as Herberr Hover did in 1930 when he added Tariffs on 2000 imported products

Putting tariffs on Mexico and other latinmerican countries will put more business on bankruptcy and create a biger immigration problems becouse that's what it's been opening for the last 40 years the economic sanctions and wars crated huge waves of imigrants to the USA thats the rot of the problem.

Let him put tariffs ? I live in the USA and I will have to foot the bill but nothing, absolutely NOTHING, will be more satisfying than to see Trumpsters pay more for taxes and groceries ????? ????? madam President Sheinbaum has the balls Trump hasn’t ?

Go ahead and put 25% tariff.??? americans are crying about inflation now.? You will def find out soon how your savings will be gone. I have bn to mexico this year and I can tell you that mexico will become a lot better.\nCheaper food, financial assistance to elders, better economy, better pay and cheap living. NOT IN THE U.S.

Trump signed USMCA. Who’s not in the original USMCA agreement is China. I think he mentioned Mexico because it puts a spotlight on the New Mexico President, and it takes some of the Tariff politics down a notch with China by compiling the different Countries together. He just mentioned today that he and the Mexico leader had a great conversation today.

Lower prices tax cuts getting illegal immigrants out and putting tariffs on imported goods really and look at what happened to the nation's deficit under his last time in office.

If this becomes a tariff war this is the thing that may happen, any American factory inside of Mexico's borders will find it pretty inconvenient to do business or put their factories in any other place, making them come back to America, or be put out of business by companies inside of America

México will put tariffs no doubt. Mexican President is intelligent and rational vs Trump is the opposite. \n\nAll countries are tired of USA manipulation. They are starting to walk away and showing to prefer to deal with the rest of the world. Avoid the headaches. \nT might end up isolated.

lol why do the brainless sheep believe trump when he says China is paying for the tariffs?? - nothing could be further from the truth - it is the usa importers who pay the tariffs and they in turn pass on those increased costs to the american consumers. So when trump says he will put 60% tariffs on Chinese goods, it means that the american consumers will have to pay at least 60% more for those goods.

ZXS We survived without Mexican products , it will bring jobs back to the USA . He said he was going to put tariffs before Harris / Biden hit the scene. It will hurt jobs in MEXICO.

THE TARIFF TRUMP WANT TO PUT ON MÉXICO IS NOT EVEN FOR ABOCADOS OR FRUITS THE TARIFF ARE FOR AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES THAT ARE IN MÉXICO BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PAY VERY CHEAP SALARIES TO MEXICAN WORKERS AND CELL THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS LIKE IF THEY PAY USA SALARIES VERY EXPENSIVE CARS AND TRUCKS VERY LOW WAGES FOR MEXICAN WORKERS THE TARIFF ARE NOT FOR THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS FOR AMERICAN COMPANIES SO THEY CAN AND WILL COME BACK TO THE USA AND THE SAME TARIFF WILL BE APPLIED TO CHINA SO THAT AMERICAN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES CAN AND WILL COME BACK TO THE USA CAN CNN UNDERSTAND THAT OF COURSE NOT THEY HATES OUR COUNTRY

The tariffs DT put into effect during his last administration are what caused the inflation we have now. He’s a moron.

Put the tariffs...he said it in the campaign....please put them...let the chips fall where they may!

China is using Mexico to circumvent their US tariffs by getting Made in Mexico put on their cheaply made products. 25% is s too low!

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.

Who cares if they put a tariff on us? We are a consumer nation. Stuff coming in, not really going out.

Mexican President is 100% right. All these years thanks to cooperation we could nearly solve the illegal immigration problem bring it down to few millions each year . If we put tariff on Mexican goods that might make Mexico very angry and disrupt the sending immigrants.

Trump isn’t very Intelligent and acts like a Mobster. He doesn’t have any Critical Thinking Skills as he runs like a Wild Bull on the Plaines. Believing he’ll get kick backs on one or all of these so called Tariffs. It’s no different than what he did his first administration with many donations (kickbacks) from World Leaders! All of which weren’t reported and only recently documented. What’s happening in this new coming Administration will look like the biggest HEIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, with the replacement of every government employee with (YES) Employees. Trump’s in debt for 2 Billion after the Election; so he’ll have to get his money back through every course possible! Which will lead to every American being put in the Poor House during his time in Office. People will have to remember his comments demeaning every American as losers as he Raises Taxes and Product Inflation go through the roof, while the wealthiest live TaX Free again within his Second Administration! “Sometimes in Life, you can’t see the Forest for the Trees.” It’s harder to see the TRUTH, by the amount of the LIES!???

It seems that if Adlof Trump was even 1/10th as smart as the President of Mexico he would actually have a brain. Last time Adlof Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber the price of OSB sheathing went from 9 bucks a sheet to 56 bucks a sheet. That really taught Canada a lesson as we paid thousands more for each home that was built after that.

Do these idiots not know he put tariffs in place the first time, Joe never removed any of them, but he added onto them and made some of his own.

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....

All these morons thought this idiot was going to lower prices of food, goods, and gas. Good luck with that. \nHis first day in office he is going to put huge tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico. \nThis in turn will make prices go UP considerably, Simple math Trump could never understand. \nOh, and wait until there is NO ONE to work the fields . Vegetables and fruit will be sky high. \nUnbelievably, this is what people voted for

When Trump is put in office, he’s putting all of us at risk specially with China putting those tariffs Canada and Mexico have worked with us, but those other entities like North Korea, China, and other countries that don’t like us like Putin is.

Go to hell, trump.\nTry putting s tariff on Mexico, trump dumb idiot.

That can’t be good. Putting a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico could cause a lot of problems. First, they might fight back by adding their own tariffs on U.S. goods, which would hurt American farmers and businesses that sell products to those countries. It would also make things we buy, like cars and food, more expensive, which isn’t great for anyone.

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.

Hahaha you people are so mad, what happened the first time Trump put on Tariffs and the economy was booming. He cut payroll tax and corporate tax, bringing back manufacturing in America. Now the proposal is no tax on OT, SS, and tip. The economy and the people will be great!\n\nWake up and smell the success! Can't you see the incredible impact these policies are having? It's time to acknowledge the truth and embrace the results. Don't let your bias blind you to the undeniable positive outcomes. \n\nStop fighting progress and start recognizing the benefits of these changes. The facts speak for themselves – why are you still ignoring them? Open your eyes to the reality of the situation, and see the difference it's making for everyone.

Trump is the biggest Hypocrite in America!\nThis is a guy who’s merchandise, that he sells to his cult followers mainly comes from China, NOT THE US! Is he going to put a tariff on the crap he imported! Of course not!\nHis own daughter, in his first term, on an official visit to China, negotiated HUNDREDS of trademarks with CCP officials, whilst being an advisor of daddy’s administration! Which netted her and Jared millions of dollars in profits! Talk about republicans being massive HYPOCRITES, they should’ve investigated her! But the GOP have all become LICKSPITTLES, AND RING KISSERS to their Dear Leader!

for those that don't understand tariffs. If I currently import a t-shirt from Mexico for 10.00 and sell it in the US for 15.00, I make 5 dollars in profit which I use to pay my staff and keep my business running. When Trump puts a 25% tariff on that t-shirt, it now costs me 12.50.You think I am going to eat 2.50 per t-shirt. No, I'm now going to charge you, the consumer, 17.50 for the same t-shirt because my cost of doing business has not gone down. You all really need to do some research and understand tariffs. I'm not moving my business to the US. I'm still getting the same amount of money for my products. The US consumer is footing the bill....

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