The drugs problem in the US is only the problem of the US. If there would be no consumption, there would be no drug smuggling. It’s like alcoholics blame their addiction to liquor stores and obese people food stores. The main question is why in the US so many people have such a bad life that they only can take it under drugs? It’s always easier to blame others for own failures.

All countries must stop trading with us. Many other countries to trade with. US not only large economy

US citizen here … I’m can’t believe a little more than half of my fellow citizens voted for this ?? I apologize for the ignorance of my countrymen ??? please know so many of us did not vote for this. Peace to all ☮️

Here is Michigan, many of us have family in Canada. \nI could not possibly care less about Mexico or China. But Canada ?

Australian here. The US ranks alongside China as an unreliable trade partner, and I think it would be a huge risk for countries to assume that the US would honour any security pacts.\n\nAll branches of US Government are corrupted:\n\n1. Supreme Court - what would happen in your country if a justice of the highest court in your land was found to have accepted millions of dollars in financial benefits from a billionaire with business before the court.\n\n2. Whitehouse - a convicted felon is currently the President and he is supported by people who can’t even convince him the reality of who pays tariffs.\n\n3. House of Representatives - name one piece of legislation of significance that has emanated out of the House in 4 years? How many ridiculous fishing expeditions have they pursued for the sake of political gain. Responsible for withholding aid to Ukraine for months.\n\n4. Senate - confirmed the appointment of several cabinet members devoid of the requisite experience for their role, including an ex tv host to head up Defence who has issues for alcoholism, fidelity, was head of a veterans group charged with financial mismanagement, is accused of ra8e, and has white supremecy tattoos on his body.\n\nNot a country you can rely on.

Saddly Canadian corporate Culture dictates that Business have to make ther decisions based solly on profit. So many will just relocate the the US and abandon Canada all togeather...

As a New Zealander I am very proud of when we stood up to the US over using our waters to transport nuclear weapons. I think Canadians should feel the same pride that your standing up now. Don't let them bully you just because of there power, Canada has many true allies all over the world.

There are so many countries that are willing to trade with the US and will replace Canada and Mexico.Why do you think Trump didnt put tariffs on Europe straight away?\nThe small European countries are the winners and their trade with the USA will increase dramatically. And the products will still be chealer than those from Canada.

The US has been wasting money on so many wars,they have trillions and trillions of defeties. Now they want other countries to pay. Stop your bullies and look after your citizens.

Too many US citizens have been brutalized and killed due to the borders. No more weak weak politicians here.

Many immigrants I know are now realizing that you just can’t come here and live a life while sending money back home. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and they are finding out that this is not the land of milk and honey they thought it was. It needs to be understood across the globe that the United States is not the country you want to be in if you are trying to help your family back home. There cost of living vs the pay for most immigrants is proving that it’s not worth coming here anymore.

Let’s see ? the US doesn’t need your milk, cheese, oil, lumber, cars really which is up to US manufacturers to open manufacturing in Detroit again…..maple syrup yes but I think we can get that somewhere else in the US too.\n\nCanada depends on the US for 75% of its gross GDP. It also costs the US $200 billion a year to continue trading with Canada. Will see who blinks.\n\nMX, good luck. Will see how many months before we hear a large Ugh..

It's incredible that so many of the people commenting here don't understand the reason for the tariffs. We're being invaded by illegal aliens and deadly drugs. The point of the tariffs is to prod your leadership into doing the right thing. Stop allowing our country to be flooded with poisons that are killing us. If you're really good guys, you would stand up to the actual bad guy, your prime minister Trudeau. Keep in mind he's flooding your country with dangerous islamists. You should want that to stop

Please know that there's sssoooo many of us that didn't vote for the authoritarian.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

Anti-Trump is Pro-American. This corrupt president is against the people. Tariffs combined with his other tax cuts are a plot to shift more tax burden off his oligarch cronies and onto the poor and middle class despite the out-of-control wealth inequality destroying our democracy. Don't forget that he never closed tax loopholes (carried interest for example) exploited by the rich like he promised. He wants to distract while he robs and enslaves us. It is sad that it has come to this. I just ask the allies of the American people to please look for ways to specifically punish the oligarchs and politicians responsible rather than the many American people who are on your side.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

New construction is seen as one of the bell weathers of an economy and affects all sorts of other potential investment. Trump has now started a trade war with the major supplier of US lumber and has frightened many thousands of construction day laborers into hiding with his haphazard deportations.

Many people from African countries have been following all procedures for legal immigration to the US and they are welcome here. The illegal immigrants cause problems for law abiding would-be immigrants from everywhere.

Come to the US, where you will pay as much taxes as you pay in Canada. But you will have no healthcare, you will have good exposure to hurricanes, earthquakes, heatwaves, tornado, opioids, no public transportation, and so many other options to chose from. Bonus is that you will be contributing to the myriad of wars around the war.

Too many Indian abroad\nThey have very bad attitude regardless of age, rank , tittle or foreign passport holders\nNZ, US, AUS etc\nMost are rude, loud and feel so enttiled\nThey cause drama in all places\nHotel, airport and planes etc\nThey are all over places and I wonder how they survive \nwhen most ONLY EAT VEGETARIAN\nStrictly Indian vegetarian*\nVery picky eaters and drinks alot opt beers and whiskey \nTHE ONLY COUNTRY WITH WAY TOO MANY WHEEL CHAIR users at the airport\nwhen they actually can walk

many of those deported dont have a good future and due to being suddenly evicted suicide cases will rise everywhere. we have never visited the us its known for lack of healthcare, unaffordable for most. alos there is a disastrous prison and so called justice system as well as police misconduct towards many invilved and 1300inn nocents shot per year. thanks but no thanks. being yanked out of family and employment is and will be disastrous for many.

Visa in, illegal stay. Super power yes, 90% super poor. 2024 rated no 3 country illegal stays in US. Many Indians are poor, smart one takes off.

I’m so happy ! So many people work these jobs and aren’t citizens making it hard for us to get a job.

If you have watched for the past 4 years this is how they did it. They let all the thugs and military style men and the prisoners from other country's in . Not to many family's came usual singles in groups dragging children through the gap.few women they rated and tortured the girls and little boys. Now these people are coming in massive amounts. 1 million was on back log already approved just had to get an appointment date. It was cut off from these ppl and they are mad because they gave up or sold everything based on Joe Biden And Kamala lies and treason selling out our country to the UN. The UN gave these ppl thousands to come .single men were told they were going to be soldiers when they got here. But UN stop reloading their visa cards with so much money. It gives on and on. Trust they will continue to take over. American best wake up and stop letting the communist Marxist Democrat devide us. Jeffries said today they will take the fight to the street. AOCdid too last week in a post on X. Do you think any of those rich democrats going to help.DjT gave 24 million to help hurricane victims on the coast. Nancy P has 300million do you think she would give 25.million to Cali. Heck no. Her and Newsom ripped billions off. Only Jesus Christ ?.

Ask yourself what might be happening in this many people's lives and countries to make them this desperate to enter the US despite the clear message from it's president that he doesn't care for them.

???OUR FAMILIES DID IT LEGALLY SO WHY DO THEY THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO STEAL FROM US AMERICANS!!!!!! I'M A 60+ YEAR OLD DISABLED WOMAN WHO CAN NEVER WORK AGAIN!!!!

How are there so many trans in the service? There is only a small percentage of trans in the US.

God created two genders, male and female, not transsexual. Any military that is filled with people perverse to the way God created them, is not a military blessed by God, and a military not blessed by God is a dangerously weak failure. This fallen world is our TEMPORARY HOME separated from God for a short time because of sin. Read the entire Holy Bible for yourself and the entire Gospel of Jesus Christ for yourself in the Holy Bible. Our eternal salvation is what matters. THE GOSPEL (THE GOOD NEWS) OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR --\n\n Jesus Christ came down here from heaven, God on earth, to be born one of us His own creation, and He lived on earth with us for over three decades, and He taught us about God and His eternal heavenly kingdom and repentance and how to live righteously and He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He gave His sinless life to ALL people from ALL nations to pay for our sins for us, by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the dead three days later, to take the punishment for our sins for us so that justice was served, to defeat eternal death for us to reconcile us sinners with God to give us eternal life with Him, and after He resurrected from the dead to defeat death for us, He lived on earth for forty more days, speaking to many people, then He ascended back up into heaven, and He is coming back again at the end of this world to set up His eternal heavenly kingdom, for all people who believe this and repent of their sins and accept Jesus as their Savior, to live in for the rest of eternity, forgiven of their sins and reconciled with God.

Here in California I have met many wonderful Indian nationals; however, many assist and support the concept of illegally immigrating to the US. One woman I know, from Delhi, married one guy then divorced him, and then within a year married and divorced another man. Does anyone care about the trauma and fact this is called grifting, basically criminal fraud for a green card. She was on her thrid target when I had to stop knowing her. There are allot of Indian nationals here involved with many shady businesses, doing crime here is acting as a parasite - something easy to do as people genuinely like Indian people. Also California now has anti caste discrimination laws, the only state in the US, that should tell you allot about their integrity.

There are way too many illegals in the US all on the welfare system. Getting more than Americans.

Many hedged their bets that President Trump didn't have the stomach or the support from US. They were wrong and now get to liquidate their assets, pack their crap, and self-deport. If they keep clutching their pearls ICE will show up and extricate them with prejudice and the clothes they have on. The vacation is over

Too many people to accept. Very Difficult for the US to accommodate so many.

People don't understand we have too many immigrants, and many are criminals doing bad to our country. Many don't even like to work. I'm so sorry, but first, Us USA citizens. It's like entering a strangers house without his consent. You can't do that by force. You can get hurt. Try fighting for your rights in your country.

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.

I am so sorry to every trans service member. There is absolutely no reason to believe that someone is unfit to serve because they are trans. To any trans service members out there who read this, I'd just like to make sure you know that there are many of us out there who greatly appreciate your service to our country.

CNN have nothing but against everything against Trump...funny can't believe CNN people are US citizens...usually many thought CNN is anti US !!

The one thing i agree strongly with this guy even tho he is full of empty promises might get more done with congress on his side this time but too many immigrant in our country too my city is unrecognisable and i am serious its getten even a bit intimiditing tje hatred undercurrent in our city these foreigners hate our guts and its our country and we are called the hater its our help and support that is less and less our nhs overrun we sont get the services we arw due because there are too many immigrants in our countries it SIMPLE do not take ordainary people as idiots and produce all this flannel about being humanist charity begjns at home these are prinicipals our grandparents installed in us doesnt me we are unkinnd or wouldnt help anyone but tjeres a limit i feel intimidated daily by foreingers and im a hater for such remarks aye right who are you politicians kidding no wonder trump has such a following even tho i am not a fan of the man but he is bang on here

I have a lot of sympathy for these people, especially considering many gave up everything they had to pay smugglers to get this far while our government was effectively letting everyone in while offering additional incentives such as money and temporary housing. That said, if we don't have borders we don't have a country. Add on the massive welfare state that they will all become burdens on, either immediately or eventually, and it becomes clear to anyone with a little bit knowledge and common sense that the policies of the Biden administration that allowed things to get this bad, if not stopped immediately, would mean the end of the middle class, the further impoverishment of the lower class and massive benefits for the wealthiest among us. And when I say wealthy I'm not talking about the guy making 7 figures. I mean those who control billions, either directly or indirectly. You know, the same people who have the power to influence political parties to enact such policies and push narratives by the corporate media that state anyone who questions the policy is racist, greedy, heartless, or xenophobic.

Mexico needs to held accountable for letting so many people into their country just to let them attempt to cross illegally into the US

In response to the ugly dictator running the US of North America , many of us around the world had decided not to buy products made in the US , here in Canada word is going around to try NOT to buy US products . \nMy phone is Apple , but made in Mexico , once my phone is dead I will be happy to switch to Samsung

Hmmm and people still don’t see how this is getting to be a serious problem. They’re literally rushing in. Instead of taking the time to fix what they have they’re running in EXPECTING things. They don’t think they have to wait their turn! This is what open borders do. They lead to a serious crisis and entitlement. I don’t think I have the right to do that anywhere else. Not to mention we don’t have enough to take care of what we have right now. LA doesn’t have enough water to sustain what they have but they think it’s a great idea to open California and let as many in. What you’re going to do is crumble this country. One nation can only sustain so much. The president of Columbia didn’t want his own people back. That should tell you something. Yet American media is telling us these people are vital to our economy. If they’re so vital and followed by dollar signs, why doesn’t Columbia want their own people?? Aren’t they needed to build the economy there? Wake up people. This is a serious issue. We can’t save the whole world, we simply don’t have the means. If we stay this route what will happen is we will end up in the same spot that Mexico is. You have to teach them to build properly not bring it all here. That isn’t a fix all. Once we have enough gang members, drug cartels and murders from all the other countries, we’ll become those countries, while they’ll have it good because they purged all their criminals to us. They don’t want them back, yet we’re begging them to bring their problems to us! It’s time to take this serious and worry about our own.

Wow. That's frightening to see masses trying to force their way in to receive free government support. Many are probably pregnant, hoping to lay their offspring on US soil for sudden citizenship. Start enforcing our laws against employing, aiding, and abetting illegal invaders; go after the employers and politicians.

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

These people want to fight to get into our country, why dont they fight to fix their own. Our founders fought and many died to get our freedom. Many have fought an died on forgein battlefields to protect our way of life since then. You just dont get that by crossing the board after the work has been done. They need to remove the corruption and the Cartels and take back their country. If they were a stable neighbor the US would help them and partner with them for success.

I had supported the deportation of undocumented people with criminals records back to them own country, but Mr T is deporting undocumented people who are working in industries that many Americans will never work, and treating them as criminals, placing them in airplane chained and hand cuffed. Also, a interesting fact is, he is only targeting people from Central America, Brazil, but a lot of undocumented immigrants are from Europe, Asia…maybe because they are not “brown people” like he once said, let us see what will happen when the prices of some services and products start rising, how citizens will react.

This is why Trump won. These people are truly mental. Why doesn't CNN do an interview live with a group of actual boarder agents on the frontline to allow them to express what they see everyday oh and ask them how many times the Biden administration made them stand down as they watched thousands enter illegally. I want that interview! Oh not to mention a momth ago biden administration sold huge piles of steel for literally pennies before Trump. Democrats claim to work for us and if that's true why are they going against these policies and trying to fight everything. The Democrats only like you if you vote for them. The American people have spoken Democrats! Listen and do your job.

This guy really thinks he can just bully everyone into submission. Did he not learn from China before? \nHe is helping countries into an easy US isolation. What if many countries around apply that same tariff back to the US? Then what?

In CNN's defense, there aren't many news media groups who can keep up with the accomplishments of President Donald Trump. Trump has held more press conferences and answered more press questions in one week than Biden in the last 4 years. Trump has been to North Carolina, which still doesn't have power, water, sewer, or gas lines restored with no federal aid and California working successfully with Democrat leaders there. You can hate his policies and him and you probably hate yourself too, but he's the most accomplished hard working POTUS in US history.
