Trump disrespects Canada ? by imposing these tariffs. Canadians need to stop buying American products.

I’m betting that within one week Canada and Mexico will cave. It’s time these two countries stop taking advantage of the USA. God bless President Trump !!

Canadians are happy about this? You guys are smoked man. Punching back against the only other country you touch. Who is going to bring you the rest of the food? Its only going to get worse. Should have tossed in towel. Trump wont stop at 25%. Mistake. Big mistake.

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.

Here in México we know Mexican President Claudia protects drug cartels. Trump asks her to stop doing that and close the borders. Just two things.

To be honest all trump got to do is stop the funding for both of them and also stop taking Canada lumber ?

De-dollar is need of hour otherwise trump will never stop

Canada is depedent on usa. Usa isnt on canada. So canadians stop ur bulshit talk now and come to terms. Your economy will collapse soon. Trump knows that. ???

If you want to stop illegal immigration require employers to have an ID on file for anyone they hire and confiscate any business that fails to do so. If you want to stop opiate overdoses, stop pharma companies from bribing doctors to prescribe then. If you want to stop your economy just keep on Trumping.

Trump is a bully. He demanded 500 billion dollars from Saudi so they give 600 billions . Did that stop him . Noooo… He is asking now for a trillion! Other countries paid attention !

Trump, please stop this silliness and just annex Canada!

I will stop buying American goods, including the Bourbon I always used to buy, until Trump (and those who voted for him) comes to his senses.

Trudeau was warned months ago by Trump. Stop the drugs & illegal immigration

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

There is absolutely no reason for Trump to do this. As a warning to our foreign broters and sisters, trump will not stop until everyone bows down to him.

ALLAHU AKBAR all tariff will be lifted inshaallah, after reforms, Trump stop bullying their is no winners in terrif and sanctions

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

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.

Trump has to stop his own people from buying those drugs. Stop blaming the Mexicans. The liquor is in the stores, I don't buy any, it's not the drug it's the people mentality.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Amricana is in good condition economy. Canada is about to suffer more already Canadian are suffering. Dnt be fool talk to trump and stop your drug dealers who supply drug in America.

Voters also wanted a bipartisan immigration bill, but Trump and the Republicans stopped it so he could use the issue to his advantage in the campaign. That’s how much Trump and the Republicans care about the border problem. I will never vote Republican again,

Just think of all the economic interconnections that are at risk of being broken. Years of supply chain organization and logistics in jeopardy. The federal leadership is getting increasingly erratic. The automotive industry alone is so integrated. Biden and Trump have both been awful. What is the endgame? Recession. Buy sovereign bonds. Stop buying stuff.

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.

Expat in Mexico. She is correct the USA needs to stop the Demand for Hard Drugs but Mexico should Stop caravans? trump is Dealing. Trudeau is a Lame DUCK.

If this Administration (Trump) isn’t stopped, we will not be functioning long enough to vote again. That is the secret behind his comment. He said we won’t need to vote again. ???

Why doesn't Canada and Mexico just close their borders and stop drug traffickers? Everyone wants to bag on Trump like fools when this is a easy doable request.

If Trump wants to stop the use of Fentanyl by Americans, maybe he needs to educate the American people of the dangers of Fentanyl and punish Big Pharma and Doctors for prescribing these addictive drugs to patients. Tariffs would NOT solve the problem.

Hmm, well canada can stop the illegal immigration coming through into the US. Trump will drop the tariffs. So simple. But they ignore the main point

France,,, UNREAL!!!!,,,report on internet say,,,will send military to Greenland to stop America and Trump!!!! ;))

ok now trump need to stop this bec american will get hurt .

Tarriffs are irrelevant if other countries and individuals simply stop buying from or trading to the US. I can't buy US products now for ethical reasons. Trump being oblivious to his fan boy's ?? .

Why trump want stop and Mexico government will be helping him or he raise tax for Mexico production

Hey! CNN, it's about time the liberal media stops lying about trump and his policies. TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

Yeah! And Trump want México stop this mass Venezuelan. If USA can't, how they pretende México doung it. Venezuela has ti work on it!

Much as illegal immigration is an important issue for Trump to take on! \nThe other most important thing is stopping the useless unwanted war in Ukraine and Israel by not sending any of our tax dollars!!!! Someone please tell this to Trump please

Stop trying to get Black Americans in your racist Democrat Liberal mess, Trump and Homan are doing a fine Job, What Black Americans, FBA's, Need to focus on is us, Like our Reparations in the form of cash payments! they Broke the law. They got to go, period!

Trump should fix the problems with the United States economy, such as inflation, tighter credit , homelessness, unemployment , military spending ,wars in West Asia and the repairs of bridges or roads without falsely scape goating undocumented \n immigrants . Undocumented immigrants or asylum seekers are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. In spite of their undocumented or current status, these immigrants—and their family members—are adding value to the U.S. economy, not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs as well. Furthermore, we should not falsely accuse aslylum seekers or undocumented immigrants for the illegal drug problem or increase of crime .This evil rhetoric or fairy tale narrative with the odor of mendacity is anti social , divisive and needs to stop .

This is disgusting, someone has to stop them, PLEASE TRUMP stop these people from trespassing into our land, take all necessary measures to stop these illegals from entering our country

THANK GOD, TRUMP SURVIVED to stop the INVASION!??

THANK GOD, TRUMP SURVIVED to stop the INVASION!??

Haha TRUMP STOPPED THAT SHIT !!!!!

We can’t just keep letting people come in like before. It is not safe for the American people. These are law breakers. Trump is doing his best to stop law breakers from infiltrating Americas borders.there is a right way to enter any country.

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

Trump was smart. He closed the border. How else is it? Gonna stop the bleeding

Stop committing crimes in our country. Maybe IF you had kept a low profile, Trump probably would have taken a different path with the deportations.

Thank God Trump stop this!

Trump hopefully will have our military there to help stop this madness... Della

Thank goodness Trump is an office now and all this bullshit stops.

Wait, we had transgender fighter pilots? Had no idea this was a thing. Glad this crazy is stopping under Trump.
