The reality is canada, mexico and china are not our friends. Just look at the comments and that becomes clear. They'd rather deal with despots than to just treat us fairly.

Canada should have free trade agreement with the central and south america at a fair tariff. Trump has a history of BANKRUMPCY and will drive the USA to a big bankrumpcy.

Stand up for america. Trump only wants fair trade. Canada has been piggy backing for years.

I support America standing up for fair trade. Canada has been piggy backing for years.

25% is more than fair. We need to get back American jobs. I gladly pay more for avocados and maple syrup.

Why are reciprocal tariffs such a bad thing? If both sides use the same percentage, isn't that just fair? The era of 'free trade' is over folks.

Canada is taking 200 billion from America; Trump says you can't do that anymore, and Canada wants to keep taking from us; they don't even want to renegotiate with new and more fair contracts; you got my support, Trump. Why do all these countries think they can keep stealing from us

Good, now we need to stop sending every country foriegn aid. We hired President Donald Trump to do these things. This will hurt Mexico and Canada far more than it will the United States. It is very hypocritical for other country's that already have tariffs on American made products to say that it is wrong for the United States to tariff their products. We do not care that it will crush your economies because we are done with propping up your economy at the expense of American workers and jobs. It is absolutely amazing that fair trading has practices are scaring your country's.

Fair trade!

die westlichen Staaten werden lernen faire bilaterale Verträge untereinander abzuschließen der Kick in die Eier durch Trump war der erste richtige und wichtige Schritt diesen Prozess zu starten

Donald Trump has never been treated fairly by Europe, Canada, Mexico, China, Colombia, Judges, Proscutors, and Democrats. Is Donald whinning? You be the judge!!

You tariff me, I tariff you. It seems fair to me. ???

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

When will people realize this is the way to force American business back into making things in America again. \nDoes any American complaining about this actually understand the trade inequity the USA did to itself with NAFTA and with our other current trade agreements? If you live in USA it truly isn’t an equil trade scenario, and was intended to boost our neighbors economy back in the 90’s….. in 2025 it’s just too detrimental and one sided in a bad way to continue allowing the same things/services to be done cheaper outside the USA based upon current import/export terms.\nThe old but current trade agreements benefit ALL at the USA’s expense. It’s not a difficult thing to grasp, it’s just not equil or fair, because Canada and Mexico (and south) benefit more at the expense to the USA… Americans just want it to be fair for us too. \nThe ERA of everyone sucking on the tit of America is over, because the American public is more than over it..

Mexico and Canada imposing tariffs on the US is not going to hurt us like they think. We have more ships and planes and are able to move more goods faster to other countries who will buy. Not to mention the fact that Mexico and Canada were never fair to us in trading. In the end they will have hurt themselves way more then the US. Why do you think Trump has done this and most of us are not worried.

Yeap I buy absolutely nothing from Canada I can’t get from somewhere else. It’s about time we stop adhering to unbalanced trade agreements with our so called friends and if they rather take advantage of us rather than make a more fair deal then let’s do it. Let’s see if we really need Canadian goods to survive so bad we need to trade and a deficit. But no being mad if we find out we don’t need you at all.

Where is so called WTO the protector of free and fair trade. Seems like western puppet organisation won’t get involved seeing two of its own biting each other.

Canada, Mexico and China have taken advantage of the US by sending $Billions more into the US than the US sent to them. Not fair for them to treat the US in this way. The US wants FAIR trade where both sides send the same amount to each other.

Is it fair to say Mexico is controlled by drug cartels? It post serious national security concerns to US. They’re killing American people

Mr Trump this time round,,,They have you again targeted,,,They have power even to dispute fair Trade!!! UNREAL!!!! ;)

President Trump, also if you could please sir end the immigrant trucking. They’re taking our truck driving jobs as well. Whoever in US says there’s a driver shortage used a Biden calculator. There’s no driver shortage there is a pay and fair treatment of drivers shortage

EU says will retaliate Trump's Tariffs,,,EU forget you dont get any Gift money anymore from USA,,,Trump wants fair trade!!! ;))

They spew rhetoric to themselves saying that they're taking back what they lost in a war. This land was stolen fair and square and you LOST.

Even if there are a fair few efficient trans people with their head in their job. There are still going to be an inordinate amount of issues with these people, especially medically if they are going through transitioning whilst serving. In general they are going to be more of a logistical headache compared to bog standard boring normal people.

I'm glad this person has had an easy time of things but I imagine being transgender would take up a fair bit of your attention and priority, Having to continuously prevent your body reverting to its default appearance. I think the assumption would be your head wouldn't be in the job as much as a bloke who take 4 mins to shower, does twenty push-ups, laces up his boots and gets to work. It's a practicality thing. Why would the armed forces of any nation, have time for trans members when they can just not deal with them? Efficiency is paramount to them. Not kindness and inclusion.

People come two America. Two get well fair milk out the tax payers money never plane two get a job till there force two go two work

There president in Mexico is not doing anything for her people. She focus drugs not helping her people in Mexico . It's not fair for America is doing a lot for people in Mexico . These people in Mexico are afraid in there own country. It's very sad. Their president in Mexico is not doing anything. Don't get mad at U.S.A.

From the US Embassy in Venezuela.\n\nVenezuela arrests and detains U.S. citizens without due process or fair trial guarantees. U.S. citizens in Colombia should not go near the border due to the risk of crossing into Venezuela accidentally and being detained for illegal entry. \n\nWe can't go into their country illegally. Why should they be allowed to enter our illegally?

Wow hell fire what is this mad mad world coming too -- Emily to be fair the reason you are a decorated combat hero flying one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world is primarily because you are a man !! I do like Trans people but to be heading up the military as women is just crazy it really is ... And I'm not a prude I have served in the military and combat but I just can't and never will be able to accept this woke nonsense.... \nIt's like gay people being allowed to have children also madness ...

It’s fair

Yes. We voted for our nation leaders to protecting our safety, our economic policies, our national security. \nThey came with hidden agendas that not aligned with our traditional values. \nThey came working under-tables, not paying fair taxes, they laundering money back to theirs motherland, they took the benefits from our natural American citizens.

Yes, and we are loving it, don't let the media fool you. I voted for Biden, then Trump after the worst 4 years of our life as Americans (the middle class, anyway). We don't want UNVETTED, UNFETTERED, MASS CRIMINAL IMMIGRATION WITH NO ASSIMILATION. We want controlled, vetted immigration and fair American wages.

Here’s the undeniable truth: People from Jordan are called Jordanians. People from India are called Indians. And people from Palestine are called Palestinians. Yet, the world continues to question their very existence.\n\nNow, the U.S. is telling Palestine to accept Israel’s apartheid system as if it’s a fair negotiation—when in reality, it’s a demand for surrender. Your government is offering Palestinians a mere 1% of their own land, while Palestine rightfully owns 100%. How is that justice?\n\nThe International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in 2024 that Israel’s 57-year occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank is illegal under international law. Yet, these violations continue with impunity.\n\nThis isn’t about politics. It’s about basic human rights, land theft, and the erasure of a people. The world must wake up.

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

Not fair ? Why that place immigrants will be kept??

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Just LEAVE…. OR stop pretending to be a woman! Fairly simple. He foisting something else.

What makes the US such a Paradise is ALL those FREEBIES they are getting under the guise of SO MANY grants and fundings from the Federal Government put in places by the previous Administration. Most of these fundings are on hold by the current Trump Administration for reevaluation and reassessment. The thing that the Chicago Governor is talking about is that what US citizens are enjoying as benefits and services are the same thing that these illegal immigrants and migrants are getting. NOT FAIR to the American people. That’s why those findings needed to be put on hold. Our President Trump is PUTTING Americans first. Fixing United States of America first.

CNN doesn’t tell us transgender ppl will use the military medical and not serving their job. They get paid with their job and don’t have to do it because they ask for transgender operation and it’s not fair for the rest of the other members of the military who has to do their job during their absent for up to 8 months during their time of abusing the system. They are unfit to serve

People mad that we are going to tariff (tax) other countries who benefit from doing business with the U.S. but okay with the government placing tarrifs on our own peoples income for working and contributing to the local economy through commerce. Tariffs seem more fair. At least if they want to reduce the spending they do less business with the U.S. we have to work for an income to even live here. We have zero choice about income tax and in fact, can be jailed for being unable to pay it.

I think this is fair. You chose to transition and Trump chose to fire you fair and square kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkiest

They need to apply before they can get into the Unit States. We waited for five years. It wouldn't be fair for those people who are still waiting to get in.

Yes fair rules as you stated scammers go home.

Fight your own governments who are enjoying their chairs and lives you leave them scot free and invade other countries not fair.

It is absurd that the media still has the audacity to support the corrupt leaders of countries like Colombia and Mexico, who refuse to deal with their own trash! And to make matters worse, we have a corrupt minister here in Brazil keeping more than a thousand political prisoners, without any right to a fair trial, while he occupies himself with talking about human rights, as if he were an honest defender. This is true hypocrisy and the shamelessness of this global leftist media!

If we’re expected to care for another nations citizens, then it is certainly fair for us to tax them

Colombia’s request is reasonable and fair, I don’t understand why the Trump administration would retaliate. They clearly haven’t coordinated with their Colombians counterparts and things fell apart. Why does the world have to suffer because of the whims of one person?

My president breaks the law. Everyone breaks the law. It’s only fair. ?‍♂️

What this man doesn't realise, is that he is pushing Latin American countries to the arms of China. In every sense. If Colombia cannot continue selling its products fairly, China will be more than glad to receive and to invest. Same for defense, if you've fallen out of favor and you need help, you will go to your second best option
