Canada and Mexico are fighting back!!! Kudos to them for standing up to naked aggression!!! Colombia ?? should not have caved in so quickly. Doing so emboldened, Trump!!! ???

Sorry but Canada and Mexico will never win a trade war against the U.S. Just not happening. U.S. GDP 29 trillion. Canada GDP 2.51 trillion, Mexico GDP 1.8 Billion.

If this is a boder issue, why aren't the Americans securing their border? Canada border security is about trying to prevent illegal entry into Canada. It should be America border security keeping their border secure, not expecting Canadians to pay for it.

An American here and I stand with Canada!

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.

❤❤❤❤❤❤CANADA

Oh, absolutely, because we all know the legal system in the US is just flawless compared to Canada's

Just a clue source from a close friend of mine from a resident of Canada ( Toronto ).\nTold me a lot of frustration, the residents of Toronto are considering being part of the US.\nOtherwise our country will be in recession and cripled.

We here in Canada don't care about the tough times that are coming, its not the first time we have been in tough times and we are not going to bend for the united states and Donald Trump, we're taking you Americans down with us

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.

my prediction is canada will step back from the retaliation very soon, simply because USA is too dominant on canada economical and political. current canadian politician do not have the power or capability to stand against US.

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.

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

The fact is that .2% of the fentanyl coming in to the United States comes from Canada. .2%. point two percent. And this warrants tariffs??

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

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

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

People in Colorado are with Canada❤

Wonder if Canada can redirect the tariffs from US goods to pay for Trump’s tariffs so that they won’t have to pass it on to the consumer.

Canada, go ahead, make our day!

Canadian dollar just dropped to the lowest for over a decade. Canada will go into recession for sure.

Canada is going to have there economy crushed.

lmao watch how this plays out my bet is canada and mexico folds its not a hard request by trump, stop illegal flow of illegal immigrants into the us from the canadian and mexican borders \nlets see got my popcorn here

Canada ?? strengthen even more the relationship with the EU ?? and remaining allies. We need to learn to not be overdependent on the USA at all levels! Then USA cannot moan that if it says to jump we don't ask how high!

Canada will rise stronger than ever in history!

Keep your stuff, Canada ?

Don't cheer on this, Canada will loose this commercial war.

Canada is a tiny Chihuahua barking at its master.

We in usa welcome the tariffs on canada. Go trump!!

America don't need the world. America have God. Trump don't succumbs. Trump should immediately banned Mexico and Canada products to the USA

Do not forget when Germany asked for gas from Canada Trudeau said it was nit in the climate agenda.

USA government is starting a fight with canada you know why??? SO THEY CAN JUSTIFY TAKING IT BY MILITARY FORCE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ITS COMING

This American totally understands your need to protect your economy, Canada...and supports your decision. Hopefully one day, America will be forgiven for this madness--if it survives. ?

This will destroy Canada and Mexico

Mexico / Canada FYI Trump has no idea what he is doing. And the American people with suffer from it. MAGA stabbed themselves in the back and still haven't figured that out yet.

Bravo Canada! ❤

Trumps not talking with JTs ppl because he knows he has no real power right now and it’s a waste of his time if Justin cares about Canada at all they would let n election happen today

American here. I support Canada and Mexico boycotting our products. Less demand means lower prices for us. It's a win win for both sides :)

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

Trump just revitalized Trudeau… looks like PP, his guy in Canada just went into a nosedive in the polls… and the conservatives are seen now as the Canadian MAGA that just caused such a disaster in their nest… it’s been eye opening for the world….

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

American here, Trump need to make an example out of Canada. Lets take our future state my force ???

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

So Canada is purposely hurting it's own citizens.\n?

Dump the F35 jet fighter, one just fell out of the sky in Alaska recently. Saab Gripen could be assembled in Canada per Sweden's bid.

Trudeau has already destroyed Canada so bad. Canada will be crushed in this tariffs war to such an extent that it will finally beg America to take it in as 51st state.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Canada and Mexico will be crippled by US tariffs. US has no need of any goods imported from these countries and Trump knows it. That's why he is doing this.

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.

Canada putting tariffs on American goods hurts Canadians much more than Americans.
