Not a smart move by Canada and Mexico, Trump is holding all the cards, he prepared for this long ago, the plan is huge, I assume US Is just trying to force Canada to be the 51th state or go bankrupt which isn't a bad thing after all but, we will see if this if this is going to be a huge mess* or a huge succes

People, don't forget that Trump is temporary and he is not the US! Unfortunately, we all have to pay by the US citizens bad choice, even the dudes that have choosen him! But we need to see beyond Trump and stay united! China and Putin are smiling with all this western divisions... They are the ones that win with our desagreaments....Putin new it, and is that why he bought Trump... Canada, EU and UK already dealt with Trump, now they have to do that again... It's necessary to answer him, but don't let that bully divide us!!!

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

The liberals WERE far behind. Thanks to Trump Canada has rallied behind them. They see our conservatives as a bad bet with Trump around.

lmao watch how this plays out my bet is canada and mexico folds its not a hard request by trump, stop illegal flow of illegal immigrants into the us from the canadian and mexican borders \nlets see got my popcorn here

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.

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.

Trump looks 100 years old stories and try to apply them and see what will happen this is an old-fashioned president .Who voted for a pensioner to rule US?

The Prime minister and the mexico government new of Trump's intentions to raise the tariffs. Now they see that Trump was not Joking. A bit late now.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

Trump told. Canada what to do about the boarder and y’all did not shut the door!!! Let’s see who can last!!!!

Trump must be trembling with the new counter tariffs - he ddin't see that coming right..?

Good to see Justin standing up against the big Bully Donald Trump. Don't mess with Canada!

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.

The USA has elected it's worst president in Donald Trump. I still don't see what translates to competence or professionalism in Trump. He may be a necessary figure to reset certain things. But he is going to harm America's socioeconomic status

As inflation hits Trumps mob.We will see. He has shutdown many venues of counteracts but American people might still find ways of voicing their displeasure at the rise in prices.

Trump has been saying over and over,,,EU takes USA TECH for peanuts and make products to sell back to USA at the Highest Profit!!!,,,If youre american can you see the rip off!!! ;))

I work 2 jobs and can not afford a house. I want to see a change, any change... keep going Trump...

I don't know why President Trump is trying to bully his neighbors with tariffs. Well, they are retaliating now. Let's see who suffers.

I love when you see a video like this and you know it's old, you know there's no way this bs is happening anymore. Thank you Trump, you're not perfect, but you're doing a lot of good.

Mind boggling to me that there are Americans defending this crap. Seeing as how I'm from a city that's been severely affected by the Venezuelan crisis I'm glad to see them go. I don't care where just as long as it's not here and especially not on my dime since they've done nothing more than mooch off of us Chicago taxpayers at the the of 1 Billion dollars over the last several years. Whatever their plan was inviting these people here, giving them free housing free food etc ended up backfiring which is why Chicago has groups called Black people for Trump and Latinos for Trump. What's kind of funny is they did it to themselves.

Yet they blame Trump for destroying families. Oh, cry me river . I only see people breaking the law by running through gates like that.

It’s Biden fault? Trump the more you don’t understand people the worst it gets. The people have nothing to loose. That’s what terrorrism is about. Soon you’ll see suicidal bombers at the border.

Ngl even trump haters are starting to see this bs

ATTEMPTED ?????? you are seeing this right now cause they just can't help themselves using these people as pawns to make Trumps policies look bad. Hoping for some front page pictures of poor little Migrants getting pepper sprayed.. when they are trying to enter illegally ! It's disgusting. When are you left braindead fools gonna wake up and see what they are doing?

I blame all this on the Biden administration who PURPOSELY allowed masses of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD to enter this country illegally in the thousands per day with NO PLAN causing more economic hardship on already economically struggling Americans who many were forced to become homeless, loose their vehicles, loose their job, unable to pay rent or get assistance, and much more and when Americans discovered that people illegally entering the country were being given a \nSpecial debit card in the thousands $$$\nWere being given 2 yrs free rent\nWere being put ahead of those that were legally trying to get a green card after already waiting yrs to get in\nWere being given food stamps and other forms of help $$$$\nWere being given a FREE VEHICLE\nwere placed in jobs along with the federal monies \nWas something painfully and became wrongfully able for suffering Americans and Veterans to accept and voted for TRUMP!\nWhy? Democrats who were placing non Americans before AMERICANS and it became unacceptable!\nI’d like to see another country do what the Biden administration so illegally done!\nSorry ???\nCharity begins at home! We are voting you heartless Democrats out!

The only reason you're seeing this right now is because the media was hiding or downplaying it the whole 4 years Biden was in office , and only a problem worth showing to make it seem like it's Trump's fault?

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

Some people say that trump are racist. But as i can see, mostly black people are vote for trump.

Trump is setting an example to the world of what a leader can do and change can happen on day 1. Voted for Trump. I know he will clean up the house. I didn’t know I would see it in a day. beyond my expectation ?

This brings so much joy to see all these would b illegals throwing adult temper tantrums becuz they cannot enter my country Illegally n collect a free financial ride. They r swarming n panicking like a bunch of rats they r. Trump warned them not to come n now they must turn around and come back the right way. Look at the way they r carrying on. Are these the type of people u want in our country

Thank God joe Biden is gone. See what he's stirred up. Thank you boarder control. And president Trump

You see what Biden done? He actually made illegal immigrants feel like they are welcome and now Trump is the bad guy..get outta here! Trump is doing fantastic!❤

Trumps has bought Qardun, you can see him stacking up on his ethereum address

I didn’t see so many ‘Latinos for Trump’ any more ?

1) The press secretary wearing that large, shiny cross. I wonder if she would have been so fervent in her statements if Jesus was present in that room. Or, is that big shiny cross just Bling?\n2) Hegseth is Trumps lap dog, in regards to the use of the military. I would not be surprised to see the potential use of armed, and with police powers, military assets being used inside the US, not just securing the border.

Had to drop by The failing news network CNN to see how you all are holding up. LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA It is exactly how I expected! Get used to the Trump train people. Daddy T is home kids and I can see a lot of conflict and sad sour faces here. Guys Its time to MAGA!!!!!!!!!! MAGA MAGA MAGA!

Transgenders qualification are not the issue, society is. I don't see Trump views are going to change any time soon. Why would you stay where you're not wanted? If the Military doesn't want you and your talents, find another career where you will be TRULY VALUED.

Trump keeping campaign promises across the board. I voted for this leadership. What you see is what you keep. Agree or disagree but don't shout at the moon.

This looks so good on TRUMP!! ???\nDidn't see this with Biden. ?

Africa Countries can now heave a sigh of relief under President D Trump...sick and tired of seeing some Amerigos forcing their lgb-thing down peoples' throat...

If you have a penis but you believe youre a woman you arent a mentally stable person. Thie transgender were looked at as perverts. Now you get to choose your own pronouns and expect me to share in your delusion that you are a different sex than what youre born with. That you too as a transgender female can get periods or pregnancy. Its ludicrous. These people need mental health. Not cutting off perfectly healthy body parts. Sex change operations do not chane your gender. It's a dangerous game to play with the rest of your life . Nobody said puberty was easy but its part of the human experience. Becoming an adult has to happen.To take the poison of hormones you will become barren. For these kids cutting yourself uo seems to be ok. Its insanity. Only disturbed people cut off parts of their body. Especially the amount of men castrating themselves. WTF? This has gone to far and Im glad to see a change with Trump in office now

I hate Trump and everything he stands for but transgenders serving openly are contrary to the principle of good order and discipline. No matter what people think transgenders are not respected by their subordinates and there has to be respect to be an effective leader. In this man's case he flies as a crew of 1 and possibly 2 so he doesn't require respect from his subordinates but a frontline combat officer leading a company would get zero respect and would probably get fragged. The standards have to be the same across all branches and all jobs and that's not possible. The military is mostly populated with southern and mid western men and they will never accept this so as a veteran I support this move to ban them. I would also like to see the standards restored in regards to fat heterosexuals too. There's nothing that says lack of discipline like a fat soldier whose buttons on his BDU shirt are about to pop and they can't see their toes.

I am sitting here wondering when will president Donald Trump going too stop with this vengeance, because we need too see a better future for our family.... uncle Freddy Mac x said so...?☮️

Trump says he wants selection to be merit based. Well, here's his chance to show that he means it. If you are capable of doing the job and doing it well then I fail to see the problem.

CNN is slacking. Why am I not seeing Abby Phillip clips or anything to challenge Trump? CNN is starting to bow down.

Your seeing this because the last administration let the 3rd world countrys know come on in knowing trump was getting elected in 2024 so this would happen when trump gets into office

Wow Trump isletting us see the truth finally.mow maybe more Americans with Wakeup! Just look and hear them.look what \n JOE Biden' cabin has done to (these) people just think they were stull coming y'all. Thos is fear.....?

President Trump needs to see this

They'll get off the plane, and go right back to the US and try again. \nIn fact. MORE will now attempt it seeing that if they get caught, they'll simply get a free plane ride home. \nHell, if I was one of them, I'd be doing it as well!! This is good news for illegals. \nAnd just look at the number of people in here supporting this ridiculous strategy from Trump. \nLol, you idiots are dumb as dirt to think this will help stop illegals coming into your country. \nIt's going to INCREASE it. And it will cost you millions every year without end. \nLive and never learn.
