? More than 100,000 people tragically die each year due to drug abuse, and over 7 million have lost their lives to the “China Wuhan Virus.” We hope for more *common sense* to help the world during this pandemic, which originated in China ?? ?

How to lose your best friend. Ask Trump. Canada should pull out of Nato. Trump is behaving like Nazist. Canada is enemy, China is enemy, Mexico is enemy, Columbia is enemy, Russia is enemy. Who is your friend mr Trump. Hope your wife divorce you soon

Imposing tariffs and endangering free trade is the same as denying climate change or engaging in anti-vaccine nonsense. It is unscientific and will harm those engaging in those fallacies - most likely with higher inflation in the US. Trump imposes 25% on his partners, neighbours and allies and only 10% on China. That tells you a lot.

Tariffs only make China stronger. The US is no longer competitive with gpt chat, electric cars, manufacturing in general, and now stoning economic blocks on its side, great idea! ?

USA must realize that canada and china could just trade with each other if this goes on canda and mexico will just be member of bricss

25% on Canada but 10% on China? Why

He must hate Canada more than China. We are not Americans problem

The reality is canada, mexico and china are not our friends. Just look at the comments and that becomes clear. They'd rather deal with despots than to just treat us fairly.

Canada and Mexico should join the BRICS. Tear up the Auto Pact and Let China build electric cars in Canada using Canadian metals and rare earth minerals and skilled labour. I'd rather buy a Zeekr than a Tesla anyway. Screw Elon Musk and Trumpistan.

Biggest opportunity to strengthen economic partnerships between EU, China and Canada and cast aside US idiotic « president ».\n\nChinese and European markets are so much bigger and reliable than the US with the intellectually challenged bully that some call a president! ???

We as Americans can make the drug war go away. Just stop buying fentanyl and other poisonous substances. It’s supply and demand; if there is money to be made by fulfilling a demand, someone will provide. Don’t blame Canada or Mexico or China for our fentanyl crisis. We must support our citizens with the needed assistance to overcome addiction and offer assistance to prevent those not yet involved with fentanyl.

Go Canada, Go Mexico, Go China, Go World.

Still some people believe usa protect world peace and china,Russia destroy world peace. What a joke. Usa is the real dictator. BRICS respect multipolar governments and people . there is no supreme leader like usa in brics.

We love the good people of Canada and can’t wait to welcome them as the 51st State.\n\nThe tariffs are meant to crack down on Chinese exports moving through Canada and Mexico as middle men to avoid their own tariffs. Had both Canada and Mexico regulated the terms of our agreements better on “product origin” then none of us would be in this position. Furthermore, China smuggles drugs through both Canada and Mexico using resins that are chemically embedded with synthetic drugs. So, neither Canada nor Mexico should be climbing on any high horses when their exports are killing our people.

Canada should have 0 tarifs on china ev

If this tariff continues, it shall give upper on other players such as China and many for new markets

I could be more scary for Trump that Canadá and Mexico makes alliances with Russia and China and then...

Why only 10% on China?

Trump as US President is best thing China could happen

As if other countries won’t add tariffs on USA \nHow about china slaps another 30% on all us products \n\nNike Starbucks Disney etc etc \nLets see USA fights against the world

I think china and Canada can trade with 0 tariffs.

China is laughing at US. China can do wonder. Deepseek is an example. Let's wait how China responds.

Work with Asia. Like China Taiwan Japan. There is no real friend in the world. Trump will cry once everyone work with China. He is pushing friends to the opposite side.

Canada, bring China and Russia to your shores, then see how Trump behaves? ?

Maybe Trump has China and Canada mixed up with.

China 10 allies 25. Nice

Canada should leave the Allied nations and join China and Russia, see how they feel. If it gets worst just ask the brics to station Russian missiles in the border.

Doesn’t china import the main fentanyl-making ingredient, but only receives 10% tariffs.

Align with China?

Good luck for Canada, Mexico & China...how long you will survivor without US?

This is a TRADE WAR that legally takes money out of the Citizen's pockets of Canada and the United States ... Mexico, is a PUPPET of China This is designed by the W.E.F..

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

Brasileiro aqui. Com muita alegria vemos essa reação do Canadá. Os Estados Unidos acham que podem fazer o que querem sem respeitar a soberania dos países, espero que México e China façam o mesmo e que o Canadá possa vim para o BRICS.

China is just going to fill the gap of the USA with these tariffs. Trump is trying to punish everyone yet everyone is just going to ignore America

So Canada and China should make an deal...

But this will make people pay 25% more just only target the companies that are linked with Trump. Canada & Mexico China is saying Hello nothing more just hello.

This is why Trump will occupy panama and Greenland, he will control the trade routes from west to east. This means that canada, mexico and the eu will not have any leverage in trade with countries outside of usa.\nUsa will bully and deliberately weaken his allies in order to punish china and strengthen the usa

The most messed up thing about this is, only 10% on China. What the Hel!?

Go Trade with China, learned your lesson?

Canada should free trade with China, Europe and Mexico and stop buying Tesla.

Why is this america bullying friends and silent in front real enemies like china and russia ?

There is a Chinese proverb - enemy’s enemy is my friend. Now China, Mexico, Canada should work together for cooperation and isolate the U.S?

Funny Mexico said they would defend their interest. In drug and human smuggling? Tariffs work like this. When two countries put tariffs on each other whoever exports more in relation to the other will loose. It’s a math problem. Unless the country has massive stockpiles of cash from the other country. We buy more from China, Mexico and Canada then they buy from us. Just FYI

USA has more oil and gas than Canada and Mexico together. We are top #1 in almost everything. Only manufacturing that we sent to China , and now we are bringing it back. That’s how strong the USA is . Resist and perish

WHY ONLY 10 % ON CHINA.\nMaybe because Ivanka is doing business there

Yea I don’t believe it’s the fentanyl that’s the issue Trump has, I believe it’s the business with China. China is using the benefit of both of these countries free trade agreement and Trump is punishing Canada and Mexico for it.

Why is the bum only charging 10% to china?

Canada, to appease the Americans put 100% tariffs on EVs from China, these should be reversed toute de suite. Let Canada be flooded with Chinese vehicles, Canada will soon be trafficking them to the U.S.

Let’s all trade with China and India long term and treat USA like we do with N Korea

So Justin is perhaps the only leader to have beef with China President, Indian PM, and now the US President.
