so 25 _ 50 than 51

US-Canada Trade Balance\nThe US has a trade deficit with Canada. In 2024, the US imported $377.24 billion worth of goods from Canada, while exporting $322.24 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $54.99 billion.\n\nUS-Mexico Trade Balance\nSimilarly, the US also has a trade deficit with Mexico. In 2024, the US imported $412.34 billion worth of goods from Mexico, while exporting $346.78 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $65.56 billion.\n\nExpect those figures to increase by about 25% in the next year or so.

About 52% of Americans including myself would support Canada and Mexico putting 25% tariffs on US goods. I wish Canada would also put a 50% export tariff on oil too.

Enjoy the 25% payment increase mfs?

Trump’s response will likely be “you want to retaliate by adding a 25% tariff? Ok, now we’re raising the tariff to 50%. How do you like them apples?”

As an American I believe ALL Canadians should boycott US products and spending in the USA. This is not how the USA should treat its allies and friends. Now Canada will never trust the US and things will escalate. To all those commenters that say the USA has the upper hand and will win this battle, yeah maybe so but that's not how you treat allies and in the end the common man on both sides of the border will suffer. Tariffs are a US consumer tax. The country getting tariffed doesn't pay the 25% lol

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

Canada should increase tarifs on oil and energy exported to the USA. With 25%. That would really hurt the bully.

So Trump Will now take the money from its citizens (25% tarif) , to fill in the budget deficit... LoL and maga people think they are not paying

Mexico & Canada doing it wrong, you shouldn't match 25% with 25%, you retaliate with 50% tariffs. THAT is how you do it.

So glad I started boycotting us products. I’m saving 25% buying Canadian.

Stay calm. Only 25% tariff.

According to google Canada's experts to Usa were 590billion dollars in 2023 and president trump put a %25 tariff for all of it excluding energy.\nNow Canada responded with 30 billion tariff with same rate things such as florida orange juice, tennessee whiskey ... and planning to put another 120billion worth of goods of Usa don't lift the tariffs in 21 days. In any way from these numbers, it looks like Usa is going to rip off canada a lot.\n\nReal response should have been %25 tariff to all usa goods without exception until they lift their tariffs!

Trump has already admitted: Tariffs do raise the US Cost of Living and that they are paid by US Consumers (including MAGA Consumers) NOT by the foreign country. He originally imposes a 25% Trump Tariff on Canada but only 10% on its oil and gad exports to the US. WHY?! Because he knows Tariffs will increase the Cost of oil imported to the US and therefore gas prices, and increase the Cost of Living to MAGA Consumers and decrease his political support. Trump is a grifter, so anything he proclaims is likely 10% truth and 90% Lies. Watch what he does and not what he says!

so you're okay with sending 100+ billion to ukraine, but not 25% on avocados?

This is the Copilot AI answer to this matter- The 25% tariff imposed by Canada on U.S. goods could lead to significant job losses in the U.S. economy. While exact estimates vary, some analyses suggest that the U.S. could lose up to 1.6 million jobs due to the combined effects of higher prices, reduced exports, and supply chain disruptions... This would be a substantial impact, affecting various industries, particularly those heavily integrated with Canadian markets, such as automotive, agriculture, and energy.

okay let's export EGGS, do you Canadians need eggs, it's $25 a dozen now ++

It's amazing that most Canadians have no clue that Canada has had tariffs of 300% on most US goods for ages. Adding 25% isn't going to do anything. This is a clear overreaction by Canada. So it's now 325% compared to 300%? Whut? Trump will now raise it to 50%. Look, if Trump raises tariffs to be equal to that of Canada, it's game over for Canada.

Trump warned that if Canada retaliated then Trump will up the tariffs so 25% just became 50%.. Trumps issue is 1) Trade deficit. 2) NATO slackers ... Canada is only 1.8% then finally 3) Border issues

25% tariffs against billions of dollars worth of goods was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today. Billions Dementia Donald. For the simpletons, that means most everything you buy from Canada will be 25% more expensive, even toilet paper.

Won’t be good on the US to get 25% tariffs from Canada, 25% from Mexico, and 10% from China. Each country got 25% or 10%. But the US all together will get 60% tariffs.\nthe tariffed products are different and come from different countries. However, the tariffs enter the US economy together.

Everybody has some sort Internet connection. They need to look up what Tariffs are. When Trump was campaigning he said he was going to put a 25% tariff in China and all of his supporters cheered and clapped ! I’m sitting here going don’t they know that that increase cost is going to be pushed down to the consumer?!?!! It’s the everyday American who is going to end up paying that 20% 25% increased in cost!!! it’s going to affect our living standards and not in a good way! Not the wealthy people in this country who Trump says he’s going to protect because they’re his friends! I don’t get it! Trump is sitting here, threatening to put tariffs on all the countries that’s not doing what he wants them to do! And people cheer! Unless you’re the wealthy, you’re gonna be screwed with the cost-of-living that’s gonna be reflected in those tariffs!!

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.?

Border control and immigration are absolutely a major issue that needs to be addressed. For instance, Canada should have been on top of border control a long time ago. Safety for Canadiand AND Americans. But Canada can't just give in. Where does it end. Everytime Trump wants something he is just going to keep threatening with tariffs. Do as i say or 25% tariffs. This is not a way to deal with other countries.
