China has a lower tariff rate because both Trump and Musk have business contracts there and they are making sure they are not fully affected.

Let's be clear. Mexico and Canada are delusional Trump is going to destroy you. China better quit playing too. This country ain't weak and now that Trump is in office we aren't going to be bullied. It's time for everyone to snap out of the Barack Obama and Joe Biden spell and get back to reality. Trump is not playing. It's over.

Allies/neighbors sends more suffering to each other. China just looks in awe.

It’s time for Canada and Mexico and China trade with each other and exclude USA.

Plenty of other coountries to do business with - just a little time to implement - US is already second to China GDP - will be for ever.

Trump is a rabid dog. 25% on friends and 10% on China?!?

Why only 10% on China? Coward, Trump!

And China is laughing.... ??\n\nCanada should call China and brics really quick.\n\n.

Maybe Europe, Canada and Mexico should get closer with China, since USA is soo agresive with the allies…

The U.S. has declared economic war on an ally and neighbor—a lion with allies and a small cat with Russia—at a time when China is expanding its influence worldwide. This is anything but smart, strategic, or based on common sense.

Canada & Mexico have facilitated the influx of drugs manly from China that have killed 100,000 Americans a year for the last 3 years! How did you think this was going to play out?

As a european I fear that Trump is pushing even faster all the world in China's hands. The long therm consequence will be the dollar collapse if this happens. Meanwhile, beware the stock market.

The reason trump can get away with it is, Canada, Mexico and China export way more goods to the US than we do to them. They're going to pay a lot more over time. Trump knows he has them by the gonads.

Canada, Mexico and China have taken advantage of the US by sending $Billions more into the US than the US sent to them. Not fair for them to treat the US in this way. The US wants FAIR trade where both sides send the same amount to each other.

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.

US should be left alone and trade among themselves, European countries, China and other Asian countries can work together for the better of their countries!!

Canada you can sell your products to China or any other nations…don’t depend on USA!

Tip: stop being dependent to china they will hold your country economically by the neck like a hostage. Look what happening now to malaysia, africa and latin america..cant even say NO to xi jinping???

Mexico and Canada other should join forces....pacify the bully Americans. \nChina can also push to their own tariffs. \nRussia and China are the winners..

Why only 10% on China???

Canada buy more products from USA than China,Japan,UK,France combined, Canada is the major supplier of energy to USA

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Putting tariffs on other countries triggers those countries to also impose tariffs on the US and likely trade with other countries and leave US alone with its goods. Not too good. Canada, Mexico, and China putting tariffs on US will slow US economy big time, like it or not.

Wrong move by parasitic Canada. The counter tariff will not work. Canada can switch it's economy to China. See what will happen.

China.. canada and mexico can start an economic pact... and f trump back.. ?

Canada and Mexico have no commitment to reducing Illegal immigration,fentanyl smuggling, and human trafficking. They are corrupt as China and Russia.

Canada didn't subsidize exports, steal intellectual properties or use forced labor. Trump is despicable to charge tariff on them bigger than China.

Canada should add a 100% on Tesla and start importing Chinese EVs. We can import all we need from Asia and Europe, especially China for a portion of the price. Canada should also Cut the import of oil and power to the states and start selling to europe instead. That will teach Trump a lesson.

No point talking to the Bully\n\nBetter of talking to Mexico EU UK China and the rest of the world

Divide and Rule. China is becoming happy about this. Why those Allies are fighting with each other?

It's true that Mexico in collaboration with China and Russia is trying to destabilize US. Let's remember that Mexican exports are actually Chinese exports.

12 millions illegals crossed into the US during Biden administration something has to give y'all are short- sighted Canada, Mexico and China will cave ,100 thousands of Americans have died of fentanyl let that sink in

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

Waiting to see what China do,selloff the rest of their American bonds, Crazy Time ahead

Canada has access to two of the biggest oceans in the world, they should've been trading more with the rest of the world. EU and China each consume almost as much as than the US consumes and you have direct access to their market through oceans.

Canada and Mexico should negotiate a free trade agreement with China and use Chinese Yuan as exchange currency

Canadian here while I support what the PM is doing, I don’t think a tit for tat solution is enough. Canada needs to look for other trading partners like China. Let’s have a free trade agreement with them and rip up USMCA. That’ll fix the trade deficit overnight. Similar thing for military we can save the Pentagon billions by leaving NORAD and NATO and building a strategic joint defence agreement with China.

The peaceful president, now Marcos Rubio going to Panama to negotiate for the Canal of Panama, going after Greenland, war tariffs with Mexico, Canada and China.

Shows how shook of China he is only 10% cause he knows USA buy alot from China

Everyone around Trump is a foreign agent working for one of the BRICS countries. Ramaswamy and Patell are working for India, Elon Musk and Peter Theil for South Africa. And of course, we all know the Trump's financial ties to China and Russia. \n\nTo top it off, you have America's old friend The UK sticking the knife in our backs by selling it with their Commonwealth News Corp 'Fox News'.

why not india . Then US will be officially dammed. Traffis on india and china will be a bad move

Dump U.S. and find a new partners like Japan, China, Mexico and Europe.

TRUMP block all trade to china!!!

India , China etc all take advantage of our country

Twelve days into the Trump Administration's second term and we are already at (tarrif) wars with Canada, China and Mexico. We have another 1,450 more days to go before this administration ends. God help us all ! ?

It's only a matter of time before America pushes every country right into arms of The BRICS Nations. You can BET THE FARM if Canada and Mexico join BRICS China, Russia, and other countries will be invited to set up shop right on the Rio Grande in the South and Niagara Falls on the Northern border of the United States. America will LITERALLY BE SURROUNDED. If Panama feels threatened they will join BRICS for protection as will Greenland and every other nation on earth INCLUDING other international port locations. This is a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions to the US economy if the US loses the privilege to be served at just a couple of the strategically placed locations. This will hyper accelerate the balance of WORLD POWER from America to The BRICS GLOBAL MAJORITY and completely dismantle the influence of the UN. THEY WILL SANCTION AMERICA!!! Even Israel would abandon America once that happens because the money source would dry up in less than a couple years. BRICS now OUTGUNS America in GDP, PURCHASING POWER, AND MILITARY STRENGTH! They're are nearly 70% of the WORLD POPULATION (and growing) which means a draft is virtually GUARANTEED if ww3 erupts. China has just PUT THE WORLD ON NOTICE they are AHEAD BY GENERATIONS in AI, EV's, and technology FULL STOP! Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, etc... have to be asking themselves is it worth it being Americas FOOLS???

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.

can anyone explain what products are essential in america from canada, mexico and china

Theres a race for AGI and China is winning. The US cant afford to lose, but souring relations with neighboring countries is not the anwser.

Now you know what China feels
