How one person can upset the world balance is insane and is indicative of a tyrant and a dictator..Trump is no American and is in fact a Grifter, and a real good one at that..

And they are prob the same ones waving their countries flags and stomping on the American flag

If one is illegal how are all of these foreigners surviving earning a living without a SS# number in order to work? Americans bust Their butts to earn enough to take care of their families. WTH?

Yes! President Trump and God's Cabinet Jesus Christ is guiding each one Listen closely to The Lord and Holy Spirit God Wins! I'm 74 survivor of stroke Covid Hurricane Ian, lost home job finances now I'm on a friend's Sofa in totally different state ! This should Not be Happening in Christians or Americans!

??? most of y'all are not black Americans im F.B.A black ppl don't say im black American we just speak I have not seen one comment where it say I'm white American i see what you are doing an looked at yo page no black no where lol ? so I guess I say I speak for all Americans. we just don't want you here not just black Americans White Americans as feel the same and I'm keeping a close eye to make sure he get the illegal Europeans out. I don't put shit past White America.?

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

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.

One minute they say american tarriffs will only hurt amdricans, next minute canada implements tarriffs? Surely these tarriffs will only hurt canadians based on their logic, so which is it?

canada and mexico are just whining. trump just want to share the american economic pain with his closest brothers and have equal fair trade. no one talk about the offers. they didn’t do the offer so they get hit with tariffs.

Canada ?? China ?? and Mexico ?? should put Tariff 100% on tesla Ford and Chevy and all American vehicles right away, bevause Elon is the Reason We American and Canadian people are not getting Affordable Vehicle from Chinese Automotive industry. He is the one giving trump ideas of tarriff on every country. Tit for tat.

What a nice saying, Golden Age , Trump wants to punish other countries , unfortunately American people will be the one that suffers the most

Screw 25%, make it 100%! Bring back American jobs or make Canada and Mexico join countries to make us one large country

Illegal is illegal. Send them back ALL and let them come in the legal way. Americans are tired of being drained by these people who have not contributed to our economy. They are taking bread out of our family's mouths. That includes the criminals and non-criminals alike. They are all criminals if they came in illegally. America is waking up. That is one of the reasons we voted for President Trump. Send them back.

Imagine if every leader and every country affected by Trump's actions took retaliatory steps in one form or another, who would suffer the most?!\n\nTrump and America must think before they act. It's America that has interests - political, economic, military, etc - in places like the Middle East, South America, Africa, etc. You've never seen Africans influence/have any desired outcome in American elections, but America, on the other hand, keeps toppling and installing regimes all over the world for their own interests...

i keep hearing the argument that Americans are going to be the ones hurt, but then why are so many other governments like mexico and Canada getting so upset? man they must care a lot about the American lower class. or...... just another gas light left on by mistake

As an American I can say NO ONE stands with Trump on this utter madness. I am devastated he is back in the White House and making it his mission to create chaos world wide. This is such a stain on the USA.

F that. Canadians don’t need to retaliate. Mr Cheeto is a crooked old schoolyard bully and I for one don’t want to play his game. We need to do what’s best for Canadians - find other trading partners, develop manufacturing within our borders, etc. and above all be smart. \nSomeone will benefit from trade wars and it’s not going to be regular Americans or Canadians. This is just another way to squeeze the life out of regular citizens while the rich get richer.

Focus on making it affect Red States as much as possible, please. But, Blue States should feel some pain for putting such an unappealing candidate on the ticket. She was so poor of a choice that her message wasn't strong enough to beat one of the worst humans on earth. When will the Dems learn how to talk to the average unintelligent American? [rhetorical question]

All American and Canadian is the only one who pay those tariff.

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

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..

One good question is who would be more hurt by the tariffs? The Americans or the Canadians?

Typical Americans and Trump. Sign a free trade agreement and then when you feel like it just violate it for your own interest. They only play by their own rules. If Canada violated the agreement they would all over it. A while back they tried to nail Canada with 4 billion in softwood lumber tariffs in that they claimed Canada violated the free trade agreement, which they did not. The arbitrary trade council which oversees both countries ordered the USA to pay back Canada the 4 billion. The USA never did. Trump claims Canada treats them unfairly yet they are the ones who violate the agreements. They are the poor trading partner. Canada should trim the exports to the USA significantly and find alternatives. Just cut out the corrupt Americans led by a convicted criminal.

Canadians must understand one important thing. Half of Americans support Trump ?

This American totally understands your need to protect your economy, Canada...and supports your decision. Hopefully one day, America will be forgiven for this madness--if it survives. ?

Trump's over confidence is going to cost Americans as the prices start to climb and he has no one to blame but himself

3k a month for a apartment? What the hell, I’m in the United States we all know Cali is expensive but it ain’t 3k a month for a one bedroom, I’d be. Good there but only because I own an American trucking business that’s nuts

I think the American people should have gotten a better represetative for them than the Orange man. One that doesn't portray them as Arogant, Dishonest, Untrustworthy & Insincere on the world stage. Our Priminister is bad enough but the Orange man is right up there alongside of him.

They all need to get out of America every last one of them. And the only thing they do is talk about black Americans. Black American love black American unity Black Power. They need to get out of america immediately and leave black american people alone❤️?????

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

All this just because JT made a joke about trump with other world leaders in a party ? One man’s ego is going to make life hard for Americans and other

Congratulation to the Americans, you have successfully pissed your closest allied and now the world knows that USA is no longer trustworthy because we will always be one election away of getting back stabbed. I think this will be remembered as the begining of the downfall of the USA.

Your number one concern as a member of the untied states armed forces is the safety of American lands and its citizens. If you go around telling people you are transgender, gay, straight…that in a sense becomes your number one concern. And people will see it! Keep it to yourself and you be fine. I think we got to the point with some transgender activist in the military is they became activist in the military. Instead of doing their job! Will anyone on cnn talk about that nope. Just poor they them cant express themselves at their job the way they want to.

Woke american liberal communists let this amount of people enter every day at just one point. Now imagine day after day after day and over 100 points of entry

Most countries would get a machine gun to discourage when their borders are attacked. Trump will Make American Great Again. I heard one woman repeating Venezuela and I thought yeah get on that bus because you don't enter our country illegally

No one cares just like all the anti Trump that resulted in nothing. This channel was a waste of time the last 4 years. Had zero impact on the election and the American public.

Remember, folks were all Americans… all of us or our ancestors came from somewhere else… And some of us were robbed of our birth right & some of us were stolen and brought here to America… And we had to fight for the right to be considered a full human being… Let that sink in for just one second… Literally people in this country at one point in time were told, BY LAW, they could only be a fraction of a human being hence they couldn’t vote… GROW UR COMPASSION!! There’s blood baked into American soil so that you have the privilege of calling yourself an American… a 360 degree human being! Never forget how we got here & the price paid… never forget to show compassion for those who want to be seen as full human beings! Being acknowledged as a human being, with FULL UNIVERSAL RIGHTS out ranks being an American any day!

?Mass deportation of millions of undocumented individuals would be tremendously expensive and would have a catastrophic impact on our economy—one that would be expansive and impact every American

To all born African Americans or the one their fathers was slaved \n????Believe me, don't let them catch you or you gonna go back to africa as a mistaken of identity this happens often and Believe it, and this time, you gonna go back with the same chains you come with ???????

We can love immigrant and asylum seekers and still acknowledge that this kind of border policy has disastrous results. The Biden administration will be remembered as one of the worst administrations in American history.

Those who are constantly adding strain to the U.S. economy, jobs, infrastructure, schools, social security, civil workers, health care, resources, water, power, energy, and crime. I can't imagine how many federal judges and fellow legal representatives America needs to hire for everyone of these illegals. \nSecondly, they must respect the country, is no country on earth with such open boarder policy. Then, the result as you see, 20% of Americans are homeless, living under harsh means. No one can afford Marriage no more. Housing is nearly about half a million dollar for just a house. Food is hell high!!! Stop it right now. Turn back and move on where you came from. And never come back!

My friend is in mortgages and their firm uncovered a massive fraud scheme with a large Venezuelan group producing fraudulent accounts and documents to purchases homes. While most Americans can’t get one! They aren’t just coming for “help”

That is wrong what they doing I only know what they don't want us here you cannot go to any country crossing llike this I really don't blame the Americans no one should blame the Americans if they don't want us here what these people do in it is wrong now they want to come to this country by force Shane on all of them

I don’t believe your American fascist propaganda for one second. And the comments of Americans here shows just how gullible, intellectually challenged and hateful most Americans are. Stupid isn’t even a strong enough word to describe the intelligence of most Americans.??
