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.

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

YES!!!! Thank you!!! Never cave to a bully!!! Canada and Mexico should both join BRICS!! Trudeau has nothing to lose anyway!

I support Mexico and Canada , so sad the states must need tariff wars , be hard on his own people

Welcome to America, under trump. You voted for this stupidity. \n\nWell done Canada and Mexico.

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

Canada and Mexico belongs to the US

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

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.

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.

Mexico & Canada doing it wrong, you shouldn't match 25% with 25%, you retaliate with 50% tariffs. THAT is how you do it.

Mexico and Canada need the USA more than the other way around.

Game on. Time to bankrupt Mexico. It is a failed narco state. Canada? Nice people, but their woke leaders have neglected their responsibilities to the point over half of Canadians want to join the United States. I think the Canadian political class has lost control of their country, and like the US Democratic Party, they are out of touch with the common sense citizen who just wants to work, take care of their families and live in peace with their neighbors.

Time for Europe to step up and make better deals with Mexico and Canada... make it easier to ignore tRump.

Trump is a terrible business man facts period. He's using tariffs against Canada and Mexico. We loose

Stand together team Canada and Mexico ! Don’t give into dictator bully

Who knows what Mexico and Canada should do? If they are smart, they should let the Chinese and Russians set up military bases across their country. This will put the USA in check.

Why doesn't Canada and Mexico just close their borders and stop drug traffickers? Everyone wants to bag on Trump like fools when this is a easy doable request.

Usa : Canada and Mexico needs more democracy and freedom .

Funny thing is we consume more from them. Than do from us. The usa will destroy the working people of those countries. We also use yo produce our own products. We dint need ford or chevy in Canada. And Mexico doesn't need to make our parts. We're the consumer. They are the producers. Well we can produce like we used to in the 50s/80s before our jobs got shipped off

Don't worry Canada more tariffs to come! At least Canada is getting off light because in Mexico's case there will be military intervention.

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 ! ?

canada and mexico lost their cool,,,they decided to hit back USA,,,USA give you Bread you fools!!! ;))

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.

canada and mexico take this offer by Trump, abide by Trump!!!, Dont push Mr Trump!!!! ;))

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 . .

Any country that does business with Canada and Mexico cannot do business with the US and will not be protected by the US at 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???

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

Its a poker game. America always wins. Trump knows what he is doing. Just trust the process. Canada and Mexico needs the US more than we need them.

Canada and Mexico will lose this Battle..

Canada and Mexico should close the border to everything going north and south, and south and north.

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.

Trump tariffs will destroy Canada and Mexico economically.

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..

Join us Eu Mexico and Canada can be strong without America

We don't need Canada or Mexico. WE have our own SUPPLIES.

Canada and Mexico need to work together and purchase more items from each other instead of the usa

Canada and Mexico became bad trade partner to US, \nCanada and Mexico became slave to Chinese masters, dumping Chinese goods to US through Canada and Mexico\n\nIn addition, Canada and Mexico are infested by Left Liberal politicians...good luck to them..but US and Trump has do to what is needed best for US interest...US people are fully behind Trump

I get why trump would tariff mexico. But why canada? I hate all this bs.

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.

Canada and Mexico need to do a better job at controlling illegal immigration and stopping drugs from entering America

When Canada Mexico realized it's not America BFF ???

Poor Canada and Mexico. They just lost a huge market. 50% tariff from Americans now.

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!

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

A long time ago, most of the world pivoted towards trade with China. Canada and Mexico have been the last holdouts.

Canada and Mexico need to respond with force, not just proportionately. Trump is a bully and bullies only respond to other bullies. Both countries should shut down Ford and General Motors factories which supply components to their US factories, as a start. When all the US CEO's start screaming at trump, he might listen.
