American here. We need all people and leaders in democratic nations to stand up to this menace, this bully. If our economy goes down the MAGA will go down to and it can’t happen soon enough. They said he’d make prices go down. Show them who he really is. Our democracy is at stake.

TBH, drugs and illegal immigrants come through these two countries into the US, so without really thinking Americans shouldn't find this move wrong. The economy will be fine.

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.

Destroying the economy after one week in office. Loser.

Amricana is in good condition economy. Canada is about to suffer more already Canadian are suffering. Dnt be fool talk to trump and stop your drug dealers who supply drug in America.

We need to realign with the right allies and expand our trade with them. This is a great opportunity to break free from being merely a follower of America. We are prepared to endure hardships for the sake of liberating our economy from American imperialism.

Due to 4 YEARS of Biden messing up the American economy, WE THE PEOPLE, aren't buying vehicles. We got to fix our economy, and tariffs will let the world know he means it when he talks.

Canada's economy is entirely parasitic to the US economy. The counter tariff is ridiculous.

Better for ?? ❤ in long term it will built a stronger economy without United snakes mercy

only a guy who bankrupts a casino can tank the word economy.\nthis is week 2 of 4 years folks

Trudeau and the NDP-Libs have left Canada a weakened, vulnerable and unproductive country, on the verge of economic disaster. This is all on Trudeau!\n\nWe have no leader, and the individual leading “Team Canada”, won’t be around to fulfil the commitments.\n\nThis is a group of leadership Premiers, trying but without any authority. \n\nWe have no working Parliament. \n\nAnd, they have completely ignored the issues laid before them, not just recently but for years. The border security issues (including the ports), the immigration issues, the fentanyl issues, the military issues…. overridden by woke waste.\n\nThey’ve destroyed our entire economy to reduce our supposed 2% responsibility for climate change. But we have done nothing to reduce or eliminate for our supposed 2% fentanyl responsibility. \n\nWe need Trudeau gone, Parliament restored, and an election called!

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.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

??Canada WILL sustain itself! With abundant resources (oil, gas, minerals, timber, water), a strong economy, global trade, skilled labor, and food self-sufficiency, we stand strong! ???\n\nTo our American friends, thank you for standing with Canada. Your support means the world to us! We appreciate you and our shared bond as neighbors. Love you all! ❤️????\n\nCanada leads with universal healthcare, lower crime, strong social programs, stricter gun laws, better work-life balance, 18-month paid maternity leave, and stunning nature! True North, strong and free! ???\n\nWith our global allies—the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the entire Commonwealth—Canada thrives in international trade, security, and diplomacy! ????\n\nTo our American neighbors, stay safe. We’re thinking of you and standing with you through all challenges. Sending love and strength! ??❤️??

Trump just used it as reason to attack Canada and Mexico economy \nTo satisfy his hate for Canada and bully Mexico.

The regular people will suffer. Canada and Mexico will suffer more. The US economy is very big and dynamic. It will absorb tariffs. Trump's foreign policy is going to be very predatory. These trade wars have the potential to spill into other areas: Diplomatic and military in which Mexico and Canada cannot match the United States. The next four years are going to be turbulent.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

Canada's economy is already on the decline. Trump picked the right time to hammer Canada as it has never been so divided after 10 years of inept governance by a totally inept woke Marxist government led by Trudeau.

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???

This is the Copilot AI answer to this matter- The 25% tariff imposed by Canada on U.S. goods could lead to significant job losses in the U.S. economy. While exact estimates vary, some analyses suggest that the U.S. could lose up to 1.6 million jobs due to the combined effects of higher prices, reduced exports, and supply chain disruptions... This would be a substantial impact, affecting various industries, particularly those heavily integrated with Canadian markets, such as automotive, agriculture, and energy.

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?

Canada already has a failing economy. \n\nYou will likely lose the majority of Canadian auto industry for this stunt. \n\nWell I guess Detroit is coming back.

Probably not a good move for Canada to play games with Trump, their economy is in excess supply and the US is the largest consumer market, they will fare much worse. Ditto for Mexico, their economy being 1/25 the size of ours. Fixing the border is a win-win.

What else can he do? It's a poor tactic but its all we got. If we had options like Northern gateway or pipelines opened to the maritimes refineries we would have more markets to sell our energy but Fibrals want Canada to lead a Green revolution and tank our own economy without the help of Trump.

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.

Canada really don't understand the equation, they stand nowhere infront of US. They should better comply with Trump to avoid more tariffs or possible sanctions. US can destroy their economy like Iran or Venezuela. Canada has no partners at the world stage, they never invested. \nIf you want to show strength, first build it. Canada is totally at the mercy of US.

New construction is seen as one of the bell weathers of an economy and affects all sorts of other potential investment. Trump has now started a trade war with the major supplier of US lumber and has frightened many thousands of construction day laborers into hiding with his haphazard deportations.

Canada needs to find new markets. Decoupling from the IS economy should be the future goal.

Epic fail to not work with the world’s biggest economy and your biggest trading partner. Can’t get rid of Trudeau fast enough.

Canada will continue to trade with Mexico, the European Union, the UK, Australia, South Korea, India ( which is the worlds largest population) and the list goes on and on. Canada now has a new opportunity to create new trade relations, find trustworthy customers and build a stronger economy with diverse trading partners.

Canadian here ... I'm so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Canadians stand united from the threat from the usa and are prepared to stay the course however long that is. Perhaps it's time Canada uncouples our economy from the usa and diversify asap ... We Canadians are already choosing Canadian products and boycotting all usa products

Canadian economy will suffer more then US. Canadian economy is not as strong as US ? good job ? trump

Won’t be good on the US to get 25% tariffs from Canada, 25% from Mexico, and 10% from China. Each country got 25% or 10%. But the US all together will get 60% tariffs.\nthe tariffed products are different and come from different countries. However, the tariffs enter the US economy together.

These people care about nobody but themselves. They don’t care that our economy will crash. They don’t care if Americans citizens will suffer. All they care about is themselves and all the freebies. Nothing is free. Someone will have to pay for it. ???

???this is how sad other countries are treating their own economy and people so yes its important to have laws here

The US doesn’t understand what happens when we go into other countries and destabilize their economies. If we don’t want this mess, we gotta pull out of these countries, period.

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump, \n\nThe Egyptian people, in all their diversity, reject your crazy ideas that you put forward recklessly without awareness of their catastrophic impact about the displacement of the Palestinian people off their land. If you think that the Egyptian people can be led behind your unwise lead like those of the Gulf states, then you are mistaken and should reconsider your calculations. We are a people of principle and belief, ready to defend our borders and our homeland to the last of us.\n\nHere's the news; by your strange ideas, you were able to unite the Egyptian people altogether behind their leadership in rejecting the displacement plan of the Palestinian people – our brothers – out of their land. \n\nIn this same context, we would like to convey to you a counter proposal: It is rather the displacement of the Israelis to the United Sates of America; you have huge, underutilized spaces amongst the vast stretches of land of the US, and the Israelis can be very useful to you in all aspects. \n\nWe promise you, if you do this, everyone will be more than happy, and the US economy won’t have to continue its bleeding as it won’t have to continue supporting and arming Israel with all these huge amount of money through the unfortunate American taxpayers’ money anymore.\n\nThink it over, dear Trump.

Shut them all down and send them back , driving the housing crisis, use of food banks driving the cost of everything up destroying the Canadian economy. The schools lied to them, not our problem, we Canadians owe them nothing.

Trump is not wrong at all for doing this its Ashley the right thing to do to fix this economy

I have not researched the Deportation of African immigrants, so I can not speak on it as much, But I do know what the deportation of Mexican Immigrants will do. It's going to have a ripple effect. Big American businesses will be unable to get cheap labor in various fields, such as construction, janitorial, landscaping, and many other areas of work Mexicans are giving American businesses. These Big American businesses that run America and have gotten accustomed to underpaying their Mexican workers are not going to be happy about it because they are going to lose so much money if they start hiring only American workers and have to pay them higher wages. So They will start raising the prices of everything, and it will crash the economy. Donald Trump will go down as the worst President in the history of America and will create another Great Depression

?Mass deportation of millions of undocumented individuals would be tremendously expensive and would have a catastrophic impact on our economy—one that would be expansive and impact every American

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

Trump should fix the problems with the United States economy, such as inflation, tighter credit , homelessness, unemployment , military spending ,wars in West Asia and the repairs of bridges or roads without falsely scape goating undocumented \n immigrants . Undocumented immigrants or asylum seekers are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. In spite of their undocumented or current status, these immigrants—and their family members—are adding value to the U.S. economy, not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs as well. Furthermore, we should not falsely accuse aslylum seekers or undocumented immigrants for the illegal drug problem or increase of crime .This evil rhetoric or fairy tale narrative with the odor of mendacity is anti social , divisive and needs to stop .

Deporting of work force can sometimes cause negative impact on the economy..\nEvery coin has two sides,. It's good thing to deport but but how about those ......?

A better life… meaning money? Let’s see their own country build up its economy and provide for its people. The grass isn’t always greener here. Many living in poverty.

How ignorant are you people? My grandad was paid to move to Canada due to having a masters in economics and most of his friends were lawyers, doctors and engineers- when convenient we are ok, else you turn and speak garbage. Bravo\n\nFYI Canada was built by British who stole and crippled then one of biggest economies and took money to England and go Canada, America and Australia to build it all up.\n\nPlease host, show some education- don’t add to the ignorance

Those who are constantly adding strain to the U.S. economy, jobs, infrastructure, schools, social security, civil workers, health care, resources, water, power, energy, and crime. I can't imagine how many federal judges and fellow legal representatives America needs to hire for everyone of these illegals. \nSecondly, they must respect the country, is no country on earth with such open boarder policy. Then, the result as you see, 20% of Americans are homeless, living under harsh means. No one can afford Marriage no more. Housing is nearly about half a million dollar for just a house. Food is hell high!!! Stop it right now. Turn back and move on where you came from. And never come back!

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?
