I'm an American canada, and Mexico had a chance to do something about the drugs and illegals pouring into our country they have refused so they wanna play let's play. 200 Americans die every day due to fentanyl.

Canada, up your trade with other nations for instance Mexico. See how Trump likes that

As an American, I’m cheering for Canada and Mexico

Amazing both Canada and Mexico prefer tariffs instead of curtailing the drug and illegal immigration. \nWe are with President Trump.

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.

so it is Mexico first and Canada first, but not America first?

Go go Canada and Mexico !

I mean really, if trump actually cared about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing our borders, why wouldn’t he actually try to work with Canada and Mexico instead of jumping straight to this? I mean sure, you could argue that Canada and Mexico didn’t help curb that stuff during bidens tenure. But this just seems like an unnecessary escalation that doesn’t even directly address the border issues. It’s all b.s.

Canada gonna poorer than Mexico

Now Trump will impose 50% tariff on Mexico and Canada and they will collapse.

Who will pay the tariffs?? Yup, grassroot americans that soon may find the price of the fruits imported from Mexico jumps up 25% and also the oil price + raw minerals imported from Canada would jump 25% as well, which at the end, would seriously affects the price of end products of some daily items needed by grassroot americans

Mexico and Canada should only target with tariffs, US products made in Republican states.

Can I ask what is the root cause of this tariff. What is actual trumps demand for this tariff and if his demands are good why Canada and Mexico could not resolve the difference? I am not supporting trump but thought of asking for the reason.

Trump's reaction to canada and Mexico traffi counter attack.What will Trump do now.American people are ready to meet any consequences related to\nTrade TRAFFI \nWait and watch Trump's\nCounter attack

Mexico work with Canada, Greenland and Europa instead of USA

Canada and Mexico can now look forward to 50% tariffs. You're playing right into Trump's hand. You're going to be out of business sooner than later.

It's fine both Canada and Mexico has become a dumping ground for Chinese goods and rebranded to be sent to the US, they didnt do anything to curtail any of these. Now it's time for the US to drill its own Oil and Gas.

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

Canada is already fallen all thanks to thier pathetic leader....\nAnd were as Mexico is run by cartel criminals and their leader is the puppet.

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

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?

Trump doesn't accept calls from Canada ofc because this is not about border security nor the 1% fentanyl going into the US. It is about being hawkish and potentially annexation of Canada in the far future. \nThese tariffs make way more sense against Mexico, considering the amount of border issues and fentanyl infiltrating in the US, but tariffs against Canada is just BS.

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

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.

Europe Mexico and Canada are usa colony ,they are little puppy's and they will obay

Canada and Mexico should quit NAFTA and apply to join the EU. If Trump wants to isolate the US, he can knock himself out.

This is the best thing that could happen. I hope we stopped all trade with Canada Mexico, and make everything in America. We need jobs here.

As an American I feel bad for Canada and Mexico... Prices will increase in the US, but people dont realize the US is the least dependent on trade of any country in the world. Trade makes up 17% of American GDP.

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

If Canada was a state, it would rank #4 in GDP.\nI give this trade dispute 2 weeks, if that, before Canada and Mexico kiss the ring.\nEU, you're next.

Who cares! Mexico and Canada needs us we don’t need them ?

Proposal : absorb Canada and parts of Mexico bordering Murica as the 51st and 52nd states! Proposed name change\nCanada = Maplestan\nMexican regions = Tacostan

Unfortunately, Canada nor Mexico would win this in the long run

Mexico has spoken, Canada has spoken ?but what about China

Canada should just turn the taps off on the pipelines and the switches on the electticity being supplied tovthe u s.then fump can get his oil and electricity from Venezuela and whoever sells boxes of amperes and volts because there is nowhere else to get electricity besides canada and Mexico.

Well done Canada and Mexico ?fElon Trump is going to destroy his voter bass. Unreal

In addition to auto components, Boeing sources a significant variety and quantity of components and assemblies from Mexico and Canada.

Australia is more then happy to increase cooperation with Canada and Mexico ?

Canada as 51th a win win for all. Too bad Pres Trump dont want Mexico

I think The EU should offer member ship to Canada And mexico

Our GDP (approx. $28T) is nearly 14x that of Canada (approx. $2T). They won't win a trade war. The same goes for Mexico because they're GDP is the same size.

Both Canada and Mexico will learn not to mess with Trump.

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.

Okay Canada & Mexico let’s run it we Americans can hold out much longer. ?

Here is Michigan, many of us have family in Canada. \nI could not possibly care less about Mexico or China. But Canada ?

Europe should enter the conversation and partner up with both Canada and Mexico!

Donald Trump has never been treated fairly by Europe, Canada, Mexico, China, Colombia, Judges, Proscutors, and Democrats. Is Donald whinning? You be the judge!!

Why Mexico n canada etc countries making troubles to usa delete students visa to much migration nonsense

The world is with Canada and Mexico!
