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.

I'm from eastern EU. I hope EU can make an improved trade agreement with Canada. One that will last future decades. \n\nThey are a reliable partner. My country (Romania) has been using Canadian CANDU nuclear tech for our reactors since the 1970s and we are collaborating again for other new reactors. This is what governments want : stable democracies + reliable partners. Canada has both.

So Canada will pay a extra 25% for their Rice Krispies treats and we will pay a extra 25% for our ice cream. Got it.

This will strengthen the trade between Canada and Europe. Well done Donald Dumb.

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

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

Food rationing < Worthless currency < Homeless explosion < Collapse of Canada < 51st state.

Yes Canada will suffer, but they did not start the tariff war.

Trudeau is lying - Canada is the only country in the world with ALL DRUGS LEGAL....!!

Canada gets way more money from us than we get from them thats the problem

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

The dollar is going strong. US is drilling more oil & less depedent on canada. I never let the media dictate what i should think

I think all this shows is that Canada relies too heavily on the USA. A new economic bloc needs to be formed.

Mexico and Canada having communist leaders?

Buy Canadian, travel in Canada ?

So Trump jacking up the price of oil from Canada, pushing American gas prices higher, will make Americans ???

All Canada has to do is fix its own drug problem, they’ll be helping fix our drug problem in the process.

You cant keep terrorists out of your own country and let them in the US? Is this not the reason. What if the US was letting terrorists into Canada?

Mexico?? Canada ?? Panama ?? Greenland ?? Denmark ?? Colombia ??

It will only make both Canada and Mexico to trade with other countries, while the USA starts being isolated from other countries more and more. In the end it's only gonna be the ordinary people who's gonna suffer

The US has a trade deficit around $1 TRILLION. So, this isn't anything personal against Canada; I think Trump wants to impose tariffs on ALL imports to encourage domestic manufacturing and flip the trade deficit. He's just using situations of importance to also gain political leverage.

As an Indian I support Mexico and Canada govt

We need a trade agreement between Canada, Mexica, Asia and Europa.

Oh Poor Canada. Too bad you can’t join BRICS.?

I don’t like to see us kicking Canada when they’re so clearly already down.

Who going to buy 79% of Canada goods exported to USA?

Canada is a drain on the US. Trump knows the numbers. Its not an equitable partnership. The US is broke and its not sustainable anymore.

This American woman is pleased Canada's fighting fire with fire. Dump cannot be allowed to bully our allies without consequences!

As an Englishman I will buy anything (within reason) I can find that is made in Canada.

We are proud to have Prime Minister Trudeau lead the charge against the bombastic Trump trade war. It is unlikely that our MAGA Conservative leader, Pierre Poilieve, currently supported by Elon Muskrat and many of Trump's cronies, could ever deal with a trade war that would defend Canada.

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 and Mexico should trade directly with each other via marine shipping and bypasses the US altogether! Just saying

Canada? You mean Neo-India?

As an American, GO CANADA!!!

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

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

Let Trudeau stay if Canadians are so proud of him. Trump is bringing back conservatism, resilience, hard work and merits back into US culture. And its no doubt conservative people can bear hardship far much more than woke people.\n1 week into the tarrifs when the reality hits hard, Canada would be on the streets. Negotiate before the tarrifs kick off... This fight would be counter productive for both sides, but Canada would suffer 10 times more.

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.

?? Canada stands with Mexico.... Boycott American products... Drink Tequila, Canadian Beer, French wine and Schnaps....❤️

Always talk softly, and carry a big stick. Unfortunately, in this situation Canada is speaking softly but really only has one stick -oil - but they didn’t use it; yet.

Canada will not survive long in my opinion. Their economy will tank. US should be able to replace most of canada import from their own production soon.

Would love an American assist here. If you are an American and can boycott the same products Canada will tariff there can be a multiplying factor and hopefully shorten this nonsense.

Canadian here..CANADA WILL STAND TOGETHER.

And then there is that issue of Canada’s trade surplus with the US.

We all stay strong in Canada. Shame on you, Trump.

North America is exploding economically because of Trump. It is mostly the Americans who would suffer the most because Canada and Mexico has more safety nets for its citizens than US. Trump voters, if this is what you voted, good luck for more four years of chaos.

The tariffs will hurt the US economy, but Canada and Mexico can't replace USA consumerism by trading with other countries, so who will break first?

Trump shut down Canada and Mexico border. Game over. USA got ports to bring goods in from other countries. Mexico and Canada prices will go through the roof. Find a different trade route to each other and it won't be by land..

Canada and Mexico were BOTH warned about the tarriffs because of illegal immigration and drugs entering the States BECAUSE OF CANADA AND MEXICO.. it is no wonder that USA are doing this to you, quit complaining and learn that you CANNOT comply with illegal behaviour!

Trump promised retaliatory tariffs in response to Canada's tariffs. So what will the new tariffs be: 50%? USA will be hurt by Canadian tariffs, but given its smaller economy, in four years, Canada will be economically destroyed by US tariffs. Canadian dollar, which is 1.45 to the US dollar, may soon rise to 1.8-2.0, and Canada's leading bankers have said that Canada is looking at high interest rate and recession.
