they all in Washington dc

Why do this against a close friend and NATO ally Canada. This president in Washington DC is a complete joke.

I called the Canadian embassy in Washington DC this morning. I told them as an American citizen. It saddens me and breaks my heart that we are treating our allies with such disrespect. I do not stand with the United States government and their treatment of our allies. I also called the Mexican embassy and told them the same thing. I didn’t announce Trump in his cabinet and what they’re doing to our economy that we have worked so hard to resurrect again after he was president last time. I, urge every person who does not agree with what is going on to call the Canadian and the Mexican embassies and just let them know that we stand in solidarity with them and against our government here!

This crazy train needs to stop! Washington DC needs to stop. DC needs to understand that factories can move south but the resources and institutional knowledge for those factories are north of the 49th Parallel. Those components cannot move south.

Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan .... will stand together. The russian assets capturing Washington DC have no chance.

And let me be very clear to all your black minorities Mexicans Indians Haitian whoever voted for these white National Republicans and how Hitler Donald j Trump and let me be very clear to you all yes you sold your souls for the mighty Dollar just like a lot of other black people minorities Mexicans Indians and dark skin people in this country yes you all have messed up terribly you cannot trust these white privileged people here in this country to do best or what's best for us just look at the system look at the Lost systems that justice system the system is only here to protect white supremacist people organization gang members that's all they are KKK klu Klux klan's members in this country and they do run Washington DC they run the high position in this country of jobs and yes they are all in our armed forces military they are everywhereas black people you all minority whoever in military it's time to quit stop fighting the white people's war and dying for these rich white people when they won't go with their own people to save us but we would sacrifice our people 24/7 365 days a year for $500 years we've been losing our loved ones to protect these white privileged people here in this country and they have been stepping on everybody including other allies and other countries

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.

Bla bla bla! You're mad? So, go to Washington DC and the US government to stop creating chaos in others people countries so that they may stay in their home country ??‍♂️

Indians are often very dishonest! We have 1,000,000 Indians here who obtained a visa but then never went back home when their visa expired. They are here illegally and working here illegally. An Indian merchant at a convenience store tried to steal a winning lottery ticket from me a few days ago! Several Indians have gone to prison for stealing lottery tickets from customers including HUGE Multi $Million Dollar WINNERS! \n\nI have had Indian immigrants be rude to me even though I was born in Washington DC and my ancestors have lived here for centuries! \n\nWe are having to actually pass laws here to prevent Indians from discriminating agains their fellow Indians in work and housing due to them being Dalits, or ‘Untouchables’ which proves that Indians coming here have no interest whatsoever in democracy and equality. Indians are coming here solely for economic reasons. They are having babies here to take advantage of, abusing, our birthright citizenship law. \n\nOver 700,000,000 Indians don.t even have access to a toilet and yet your government is spending many $Billions on aircraft carriers and a massive military buildup. Get your priorities straight, build safe toilets first for your people! Indians need to remain in India and Make India Great Again!

Q: Where is Canada's federal capital? A: Washington DC?\nCorrect! Welcome to the state.

It's not against Mexico. I have nothing but respect for the Mexican People. It's Washington DC is the problem. They refused to enforce Federal immigration laws already on the books

“This is Captain Dover on route to Washington, DC. Air Force One will now use the call sign Trump Force One. I repeat, Trump Force One.” ?????

Biden Kamala let them go in TX not right is mad & bad why all of them not go to California and New York Washington dc take care of them keep TX Red please ????????

Shut up, Washington DC, your future president is coming on the way from India!

All of these problems stem from the Demorats planning to use the illegals for voters the Demorats are ready to cheat again giving illegals IDS to vote Trump train next stop Washington DC to expose the corruption of the politicians and the Dem libs Trump 2024 2028 2032 2036

Out of curiosity, is there any real movement by ordinary citizens in nyc to revoke the sanctuary city status? The democrats running NY state and NYC seem to be making money off these migrants and crininals. Free federal funding feom Washington dc and guaranteed money to hotels who host migrants, good for politicians and hotel owners but bad for the people.

Wait! Biden appointed Kamala, the border VP. She’s still VP, right? She’s MIA from her one duty. Kamala, where are you? Can we show you on the map where our northern And southern borders are? Hint: northern border is closer to Washington DC

New york u need million of them because we tired of having millions of them u need just a million so u can feel what it like to have your schools over loaded by them and you also need a million of them so u can feel what it like for them to take over all your section 8 housing and taking all your foodstamps and welfare and over load your hospitals like they do over here in the west all u state over there need a million so u guys can feel some what lt like to live in the West we have billions of them new york Washington DC Rhode Island and Boston all u places need a million because the west can't take anymore we have billions of them so u southern states and East Coast states u need a million in each state if u want all illegals to come here because the west can't take anymore we have billions u know what a billion is

Send them to Biden’s houses, and Harris’s and all the rotten politicians. Make Washington DC a drop off place. Better yet, throw them all in California and make Newsome deal with them. New York deserves it, they voted for it!!! No pity for them or any that voted for this crap.

We are doomed it’s a shame get rid of adams, He ain’t shit poor, excuse of a man string his own City. they are nothing but a bunch of freeloaders send them to Washington DC.??

Send one hundred thousand migrants to Washington DC now.

I'm Canadian and went to Washington DC for American history class in Grade 12. Americans feel 10x more careless.

Move the White House from Washington DC to the US/Mexican border to deal with the migrant situation in a more direct manner. What is the White House doing in its present location? Nothing --- just sitting there. Hire Trump as interim CEO to quell the situation since he has the experience in being involved in insurrection procedures; however, if he fails in the attempt --- he's fired and reduced to an internal capacity in the White House.

New York has the Consulate, Washington DC has the embassy!

I guess because Toronto is so huge and because I stayed in the main touristy areas I only noticed a few homeless people during my trip. They were more noticeable to me in Calgary in the spring. But the worst I've seen is Portland, Oregon and Seattle, WA and in 2021 Washington DC was pretty bad off...though the encampments I saw then had been cleared out by DC when I returned in 2023.\n\nI really really enjoyed my stay in Toronto over Labor Day weekend, my first time ever to visit. But just looking around me I got the same sense I did in NYC...it's a beautiful place to visit but living here would be ungodly expensive. The luxury apartments across the street from my hotel seemed to have rather low occupancy, from what I could see from my hotel room window at night. A lot of rental real-estate are speculative investments and any thought of addressing housing needs, keeping occupancy rates high, etc. are purely secondary concerns...zombie buildings with unaffordable rents that remain sparsely occupied while the need(s) are so dire is morally offensive and government should step in with rent controls and occupancy requirements and tax those owners more heavily who have occupancy below a minimum threshold. The increase in crime is a completely expected outcome of economic desperation. The US answer is usually more police & harsher penalties but I hope Canada is more rational and humane in addressing these societal ills.

Let 'em all in. Bus 'em directly to Washington DC. The Libs in DC love them and will do anything for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe FREE! Come one come all!! After true bedlam some tyrant will take over no doubt.

I vacationed in the US often in the 70s and 80s. The scenery in the west is wonderful, New York and Washington DC are very dynamic and people are generally friendly. BUT things turned very nasty after 9/11. The bogus war in Iraq and the 20 year stay in Afghanistan changed everything. The MAGA crowd of haters, gun crazies, religious fanatics and the politicians who cater to them have made the country intolerable. Any advantages America may have are vastly outweighted by the negatives that are part of everyday life. Every school child has regular shooter on the loose drills routinely. Gun-toting losers may feel a thrill from carrying a gun but I don't like the sight of them.\n\nAmericans are like frogs in a sauce pan of water that is being brought to a boil. They just do not realize how bad the US has become.........

I lived in NYC and Washington DC in the 90s. I loved it then but never again.

In the US, the price setter for health care is the doctor, or hospital. Given that it can be life or death, the sky is the limit for the price. In Canada, the government pays the bills. It pays in bulk. And thus gets the best prices. So. \n\nIt’s simple economics. \n\nPrivate industry wrote the laws and is writing the laws that govern their areas today. That’s what all those filthy rich lobbyists are doing in Washington, DC.

I used to spent a lot of time in the U.S. as a child with my parents because they had family there. As an adult I went on vacation to Disney World, Las Vegas, Washington DC, etc. We would go across the border for day trips to shop but not anymore. I do not recognize the U.S I used to know, it's gone crazy in the past 10 years or so and I'm afraid to go there now.

Thanks Joe, your policies caused all this. How about we send all these illegals to Washington DC and let the US government deal with them?

Border Patrol are past being overwhelmed. It’s time Washington DC helped them and kept the laws which have been made to secure US borders.

Let them come in and Send them to Washington DC and let Biden personally board them in white house!

This is done on purpose by the current Biden administration. They should be charged with treason and hung from lamp posts on the streets of Washington DC

Why are we seeing this , really !! Take every single one of them to sanctuary cities around Washington DC. Its all fine and dandy until you have them in your backyard. Why isn’t Biden being persecuted #cnn ?

Load them all on a busses and send them to Washington DC dump them in front of the white house

Another Biden glory way to go with the invasion of our country, hope Dems are proud of themselves when their doors start getting kicked in … send more busses Gov Abbot right to Washington DC and Martha’s vin yard

They’re not attempting, oh they are coming! Could you imagine this pouring into Washington DC, New York City or Chicago?

WE NEED TO BUS THEM ALL TO WASHINGTON DC SINCE BIDEN WANTED THEM HERE.DANG IT.

If a hundred thousand of these same people stormed the capital in Washington DC what do we think would happen? ?

We as a nation are being attacked within by Washington DC. They don’t care about us or our nation as they let this country fall to its knees through inflation, an extremely vulnerable border, Chinese immigrants increasing by 900%, wasteful government spending, political persecution, and complete disregard for God almighty as they praise sins such as abortion and transgenderism. We are without a doubt under divine judgment by God Himself for the evil and corrupt cultures this nation has allowed and condoned for decades. May God have mercy on us all.

please head to washington dc

Bus them to Washington DC again

Make them the US problem. Canadians get all the benefits of US citizenship without paying taxes to Washington DC.

i remember going from Washington DC(murder capital at the time) to Ottawa, ON and i would go for a walk sometimes if i was bored(at 2 am) that feeling of not having to watch your back was almost euphoric.

Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto are all beautiful. i’m in Oromo (Ethiopia) and we don’t have too much diversity compared to our other residence in Dubai (UAE) America US is ok! I like Arizona, Texas parts of Washington DC but it’s not too friendly and even affluent people only speak one language, English and have primal diets! I was stunned by the poverty and homelessness in New York, DC, California, Florida, Georgia and other states….looks like 3rd world
