Hmmm I'm a criminal, in hand cuffs. My feelings are hurt.....AYFKM!

Clearly, the USA is a great friend of India n Modi. Trump is going to hit Chahabar port as well. Will that hurt india.

A illegal is illegal sorry if facts hurt

Nigerian here..... Why are people flocking to where they are UNWELCOME? Even if the past government allowed them in, just scrolling through American news, anyone can see that immigration into America is hurting Americans, legal migrants are also hurting from loss of jobs that are going to the illegals for less, etc, etc and there's also a limit to alien acceptance INTO ANY COUNTRY. \nThe lack of self-respect is mind boggling (including from amongst my own Countrymen and women rushing to US, EU)..?

All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

I suspect that china mastermind this mass entry of illegal immigrants rushing to the boarder. They know exactly that USA government won't harmed civilians and if by too much chaos some got hurt, it will be a tool to blame the new policy and thereby a chance to withdraw restrictions and thereby a certain fall of America in the hands of CCP.

Biden years when president was weak and migrants were successful. Usa needs to be as we are today! Brave! Yes I'm American Mexican thanks to Mexico for not having a opportunity for family that they migrated here legally submitted paperwork & now 45 years later we have freedoms. With inflation hurting working class we Need more income, but still appreciate what I got

bruh can't people just stop tryin to hurt other people? I get people don't like the kid stuffs for obvious reasons, but is it so bad a person tries to live the life they want to. it's not like they are terrorists.

Honestly Africans don't like black people from America so im not hurt about it but leave my hair braiders alone

I ain't worried about no dam African getting deported. 1 they don't even consider us. 2 when we are going through something that hurts ADOS they seperate themselves from us by saying (I'm African not Black).

Trump has put the USA in a world of Hurt. China has just imposed a 100% ban on the export of all product using precious metals to the USA. Pretty much everything we use today has a component in it made of precious metal, military equipment, cell phones, tv ,telecommunication equipment, Automobiles and many many other things. Canada is still selling the raw metals to China and receiving the chips and circuit boards back to continue their production process.....If you think Covid disrupted the production process.....Just wait USA is in for a world of economic hurt.

This has nothing to do with the border….he’s grabbing money. While hurting the US people, he is ruining the US reputation. Get ready for your auto industry to shut down, no more energy or our critical minerals you need for your all important military! Get it??

Put 100% tariffs on Tesla evs. That way it will hurt him more than putting tariffs on anyother product. Also allow Chinese evs on the market and see how he looses it. Elon musk has invested huge sum of money on the trump campaign. If he suffers so does Trump.

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?

Retaliation tariffs. That's a ridiculous idea. You don't win a tariff war when you're the country that has a trade surplus. In 2023, Canada imported approximately $431.2 billion worth of goods from the United States, while the United States imported approximately $354.3 billion worth of goods from Canada. That's going to hurt Canada a whole lot more than it'll hurt us.

I didnt vote for Trump ever! However all countries should become self sufficient. That we dont depend on other countries & have stuff like this hurt regular people. Sigh.

Canada should not respond with tariffs. That will just increase prices for Canadians. They should look for other markets.\nTrump promised to lower prices. This is a direct move to increase them! Trump and his millionaires won't be hurt by this. Only the millions of regular people that voted for him will suffer. This is a perfect example of how politicians go to war and the citizens pay with their blood. ?

This will hurt them more than it will hurt the U.S. because those countries rely on U.S. imports to help sustain their economy. \n\nHere’s a list of countries and percentages of imports between them from 2023: \n\nU.S. -> Mexico = 15.6%\nMX -> U.S. = 43.9%\nU.S. -> Canada = 14%\nCanada -> U.S. = 77%\nU.S. -> China = 7.5%\nChina-> U.S. = 16.5 % \n\nAnd some of those imports we get from other countries are just oil, which is no longer the case since now we are going to drill our own oil. Hmm ? It’s as if they’re almost saying “Please make Canada and Mexico the 51st and 52nd state of the U.S. We don’t know how to run a country nor we don’t like our constituents.” ??

The reality of the situation is that while Canada’s retaliatory tariffs will hurt the US a little, Trump’s tariffs hurt Canada a lot! Right now we’re in a moment where Canadian politicians of all stripes need to placate the public’s demand for retaliation, however no matter who the next PM is, they will quickly and quietly be working to undo whatever factors led to this situation. That will mean acquiescing to Trump’s border demands among other concessions. One would be forgiven for thinking Trudeau should have just gone along with them in the first place and spared Canada the pain.

The only thing that will get Trump to pull in his horns is for countries to respond with counter-tariffs that will HURT Americans big time. Trump said they don't need our energy. Let's shut down hydro electricity sales to the US and allow millions of residences and industry go dark in winter and wait for Trumps call to negotiate. The US NEEDS Canadian resources and we should use that to our advantage.

I have lived in Canada for 70 yrs. We will not submit to a want a be dictator-. Hes putting the blame on us when its his fault from all his failed promises hes made before and now. Hes really going to hurt the American people with everything going up in price. Trump will be made to step down im sure do to his ridiculous actions.

Does anyone not understand the trade unbalance? How much does the US buy from Canada and Mexico vs how much does the US buy from them? Who do you think this will hurt in the long run? It's quite interesting.

Still in the market for a new pick up, but after the horrible treatment by Ford i have decided to go with Ram or GM. Now ford gets hurt more by these import fees, nice going ford

First “They” say that US Tariffs will hurt the US Citizenry.\nSecond “They” seek to impose Tariffs ON the USA to hurt the US Citizenry (apparently NOT “hurting” Their Own Citizens?) \nThe USA has Specific Goals behind the tariffs (Border & Drug Control) do Mexico &/or Canada have Specific Goals as well?\n\nPersonally, I think if the US Citizenry backs down on outright Consumerism, We’ll find there’s a lot We Don’t (and Never) Needed.\nIf this version of “War” continues long enough, We will find that We can fulfill pretty much ALL of Our Own Needs … if not “Wants”.

Keep noticing in the news. That it keeps coming from the angle how it's going to hurt American citizens. Never what it's going to do to Mexico or Canada. Just how bad it is for America. What about the other side? What will Canada and Mexico feel? What goods? Always from the angle of be scared America this sucks for you and only you.

This hurts Americans. Lumber to build houses destroyed in the hurricane will be too expensive. He needs to scale this back. Canada should cut power before the Superbowl so people realize how much the US gets from Canada!

Canada will give concessions at some point. Like regular war, in a trade war everyone is hurt. But Canada will go into a recession unless it appeases America. And America can do this because Canada has the better deal currently.

Lol. So won't hurt us at all

I’m just wondering if tariffs hurt the people from the country that implements them than why is Canada imposing tariffs back on the US!

Raising tariffs is not the best way to retaliate... a full ban would hurt them instead of your citizens.

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.

Hurts the US citizens for US tariff imposed on Canadas exports to US. Canada's response: we, too, will hurt Canadians with tariffs imposed on Canada imports from US. Take that! Who pays? The people do. Who cares? Not the babies in charge.

Trump won’t back down, so Trudeau will be crying Uncle first. The 2 things that will hurt us Americans is the lumber and steel.

Most don’t get it. Sure, it’s gonna hurt, at first. Growing pains. America doesn’t need anyone. We will be stronger being self sufficient. It’ll take a bit but we will come out stronger and better.

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

Smart world leaders know the ramifications of starting tariffs wars. They historically have never produced winners. Only \nlosers, because they hurt consumers on both sides. That’s \nwhy they are hardly ever used as weapons to settle disputes.\nWorld leaders as a result initiate dialogue over tariffs to resolve \ndisputes. We unfortunately do not have a smart leader at this time.

So I take it those who thought J6 was an insurrection, must think this is a peaceful protest? I am not into intentionally hurting anyone, but how is this any different to an invasion and I would hope that our law enforcement would take a more proactive stance to a full on invasion of our country…______ and ask questions later…

This is going to hurt All Canadians and will extremely hurt Mexico. \nIt's only going to hurt yearly profits of 1% of Americans and those with CanAm's and anything Bombardier or Rotax. The automotive industry will just come back and have to eat the margin losses until they recoup. They still have plants here, they just have to bring everything back, rehab the buildings and start hiring and training folks.\nChina is the problem because they make everything and ship a lot of goods into this country... \nWe joyfully took our major manufacturing there instead of keeping it all here and becoming an industrial complex like they did as perfect capitalistic communists ...\nOh, but I forgot, regulations, mandates and emissions drove away most of our industry along with greed to increase margins. Until those regulations, mandates and emissions standards are changed, there's going to be a major manufacturing concern in this country.

Not a Trudeau fan here but I think this is the right response. Although this whole business will most hurt those who are already in deep financial crisis.

Well, cant stand justin. But... \n\nCanadian's have been hurting bad for a few years now. What's a few more. \n\nI say screw tariffs. Just shut it all off. Power, oil, movie production, soft lumber, maple syrup, ALL natural resources. \n\nJust dont sell it to them at all.\n\n\nBuild up our own infrastructure and become the global monster we should be.\n\nProudly Canadian!

Canadians you did right. And we europeans will and should follow. American products will get expensive all over the world and sales will decrease. Then the MAGA guys will understand. Paying more at home, selling less into the world. Autsch, that will hurt.

Should have thought that one through and actually negotiated with the businessman instead of causing his country more problems.....but we are talking about the dummy who used a mass shooting to ban more guns even though all the weapons used in that mass shooting were already banned. Have never seen any item that said made in Canada so all he's doing is hurting his own country....same with Mexico that lets itself be used as a highway.

tourism alone would hurt US.Snow Birds,go elsewhere.maybe spain,cuba,mexico.....

This will hurt america bad

Tarrifs help select companies while hurting consumers

it will hurt all countries!

Any decision Trudeau makes hurts Canadians.

Does the average American realize that this will hurt them enormously in the long term? if your friend suddenly turns out to be your enemy, you will never trust him again as before. Once that happens, people will never want to buy junk from America again. who won then....

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

What can we expect from a convicted felon President who bankrupted a CASINO ? Now he is going to hurt Americas friends and bankrupted the USA very sad
