Export tax on Canadian oil and gas to the US. We can develop new markets for these products Europe and Asia need reliable energy supply

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

With reciprocal tariffs of 25%, the US is the winner, having a trade deficit of about 55 billion dollars in 2024 with Canada. That is, exports of Canadian products to the US are significantly higher than imports of US products to Canada.

Canada exports more than 20% of its gross domestic product to the US, while the US sends only 1.2% of GDP to its northern neighbor

Isnt this a great idea? We export almost all our oil to be refined in the USA and sold back to us as finished products. Thats a 1.56x increase

Affects Canada more as Canada exports more to US

US .put 25% tariff on Imports from Canada.\nCanada put 25% tariff on Exports to US.\nBoth additional fee will be passed to American citizen to pay eventually.

The problem here is MexiCan are net US exporter, while the US is net importer. Will MexiCan suffer yes, but they still keep the goods, while US will have less supply.

Nobody can beat USA in a tariff war because we have the biggest trade deficit with everyone. Simply we import more than export.\n\nY'all just gonna unleash more tariffs upon yourselves by making Trump mad. \n\nFor us it's a win-win. Either we get a balanced trade deal ⚖️ or we start making our own products.

Don't be silly, don't make your own people pay taxes on goods from the US. Make it harder on the people in the US by charging additional tariffs on exports to the US. Starve the Americans because they need your products and services. They cannot afford to go it alone.

No need to have a conversation when it will reduce the garbage exported from US big corporations.

We should also stop petrol and electricity exports to the US.

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.

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

Trudeau should of put a export traffic on the us before trump did it 68 cent dollar we could of made some money giving it away to the us dumb dumb Trudeau

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

How does Trudeau know only 1% of fentenal is exported to the US through Canada

US-Canada Trade Balance\nThe US has a trade deficit with Canada. In 2024, the US imported $377.24 billion worth of goods from Canada, while exporting $322.24 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $54.99 billion.\n\nUS-Mexico Trade Balance\nSimilarly, the US also has a trade deficit with Mexico. In 2024, the US imported $412.34 billion worth of goods from Mexico, while exporting $346.78 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $65.56 billion.\n\nExpect those figures to increase by about 25% in the next year or so.

About 52% of Americans including myself would support Canada and Mexico putting 25% tariffs on US goods. I wish Canada would also put a 50% export tariff on oil too.

It's true that Mexico in collaboration with China and Russia is trying to destabilize US. Let's remember that Mexican exports are actually Chinese exports.

Canadian here. The tariffs will hurt. And this may just be the beginning of a sprawling trade war, but make no mistake, Canada is not for sale, and Canada, despite its soft spoken nature, is determined to keep going on its own way. We have free trade with the EU and Pacific nations. For any US companies who find themselves caught up in tariffs for their export markets, consider setting up your export shop here, to keep your Canadian customers, and continue to have access to European and Asian markets under free trade agreements that are respected, and operate independently of any decision made by President Trump. Businesses need predictability and stability, and your neighbors to the north can provide that to all of your export markets.

Trump has already admitted: Tariffs do raise the US Cost of Living and that they are paid by US Consumers (including MAGA Consumers) NOT by the foreign country. He originally imposes a 25% Trump Tariff on Canada but only 10% on its oil and gad exports to the US. WHY?! Because he knows Tariffs will increase the Cost of oil imported to the US and therefore gas prices, and increase the Cost of Living to MAGA Consumers and decrease his political support. Trump is a grifter, so anything he proclaims is likely 10% truth and 90% Lies. Watch what he does and not what he says!

The winner of this war will be whoever can replace their trade bazaar with others faster and better. Europeans and Asians should see the opportunity to trade and fill the gap of the US for Canadian Market. Canada has enourmous capacities that no one should hesitate. I would visit Ottowa first thing in the morning if I was a president of any European or exporter countries of Asia.

The US Imports billions more than it exports. Tariffs are on the goods imported. The importer pays the tariff NOT the country.

436 billion in exports to the US verses 150 billion to Canada. This is not going to hurt America but will crush Canada.

Only 17% of US exports go to Canada vs 80% of Canadian exports go to US. Easy to see who is going to win this war.

Based on 2022 data, columbia's main exports are crude petroleum, coal, and refined petroleum. Food is quite a bit lower on the list. US makes up 25% of its exports, second is Panama, then netherlands. We lead by a large majority. Probably why Petro caved

Trump is setting the stage for China to replace the USA as a key export partner to these tariff threatened nations. All it would take is China to accept delivery of products impacted by US tariffs at the pre-tariff price. China wants better S American commerce and these tariff threats provide the opportunity for China to swoop in and save the day. If I lead China I would be phoning every nations leader personally guaranteeing to do just that before another threat came out of Trump. While it might cost China in the short run, seeing the world wide collapse of the USA's economic influence in favour of China would serve them well.\nFor the last century the USA has learned to played reasonably well with others, shedding off most of its protectionist policies in favour of cooperation and negotiation. This made it a strong economic nation that individuals wanted to become citizens of. Nations trusted the USA, but in just a few days under Trump that century long journey to world leadership has been fully undermined.\nThe most known Statue Of Liberty quote of “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” was the old America, a much different time than today. The poem under Trump's policies should read “Take our tired, our poor, our huddled masses yearning to escape persecution”.

Colombia doesn’t pays the tariff the American people pay the tariffs….that goes for all countries exporting to the US. We pay, they don’t.

USA!USA!USA! #1! God bless us! Wait for all of this to hit our pocketbooks….. especially after we launch tariffs on China! And of course, watch retaliatory tariffs from China hit US exports.

Donald Trump acts like a little Hitler. Go ahead Donald You just goes for those tariffs on everybody and see our exports drop like a rock seriously sunny and the price of everything in the stores quadrupling. I actually hope so I actually hope eggs go to $30 for 12 eggs I hope tomatoes are 15 bucks of tomato and avocados or $30 an avocado and a t-bone steak is 100 because American people just we have it too good in this country for so long now we get a president that's acting like a dictator and violating law after law in the first week he tried to get rid of the inspector generals The ID inspector general and they just told Donald well we're not going to quit You can't make us quit You're vitally in the law Mr Trump we're showing up to work Monday. I hope mos The people in the garment to tell Donald to shove it up his backside that were coming into work and only have allegiance to the Constitution not a want to be Hitler or dictator or king we only pledge our allegiance to the Constitution and since you don't you didn't put your hand on the Bible I don't see you as president Donald what your left hand can't put your hand on the Bible and swear it oath to the Constitution is it that hard or are you swearing at nose to Vladimir Putin I bet that's what you're doing I mean you act like you you're butt off by some big billionaire Elon the ketamine snorter

My homelessness friends told me that if they get deported, they will become exporters of coca cola to the US

Americans can live without Colombian bananas and other tropical fruits if they are the only goods exported to the US. There's Ecuador and Costa Rica for cheap bananas and tropical fruits from elsewhere.

Do you know that oil is the main export of Colombia to the US! Guess what? Price of fuel going up ?

As an Australian, I can't wait until he decides to impose tariffs on our exports.\n\nThe US quickly losing any allies. What's that now, Canada, all of South and Central America, Denmark.\n\nYou guys in the media over there turning a blind eye to his actions should be worried. Soon he will turn on you too.

Colombia just hit back with 25% tariffs on US goods and 50% on \nUS fruits. The US exports about 20 billion $ yearly to Colombia, mostly farm products like wheat. Some US farmers will definitely feel this.

All Colombia has to do is place an immediate embargo on all coffee exports to the US.\nAmericans will crumble in less than a week.

Americans are too haughty and inexperienced to do Mexicans jobs. There isn’t a Migrant issue in the US. Trump claimed it was an epidemic, will export about 5,000 illegals then call it off and Americans will be happy ?

United States imports many products from Colombia, including crude oil, coffee, and cut flowers. The US also exports products to Colombia, including oil, corn, and electrical equipment. \nImports\nCrude oil: Colombia is a top ten supplier of crude oil to the United States. \nCoffee: A major export of Colombia. \nCut flowers: A major export of Colombia. \nAnimal, vegetable fats and oils: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nGlass and glassware: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nSoaps, lubricants, waxes, candles, modeling pastes: A major import of the United States from Colombia. \nExports\nOil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nCorn: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nElectrical equipment and parts: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oilcake: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nSoybean oil: A major export of the United States to Colombia. \nThe United States and Colombia have a trade agreement that aims to improve the investment environment, eliminate tariffs, and expand trade.

Yikes I’m hope Columbia don’t export eggs to the US haha ?

Columbia exports about 14 billion dollars worth of products to the US. Meanwhile, the United States exports over 20 billion dollars annually to Columbia, so who's going to lose here? This man is going to turn the world against us.

Petro wants the repatriation to be done in Business Class Avianca (Colombia national airline) and processing done in the VIP lounge, all paid the US taxpayer sucker. Colombia flower export employing 120,000 Colombians now is San Valentin will see 50% increase in prices, let's go Petro. LOL

What if every country the US exports to which is about 3Trillion dollars income in total get 100% tariffs back at the US that would destroy them lol

All this means is that USA consumers pay more for whatever Colombia exports and what consumers will need ( supermarket food produce for example) ?? It does not help US farmers who cannot deliver to super markets their field produce because Trump is deporting workers who go into the fields whom primarily collect it !!!\nTrump is basically taxing the US consumers and pushing prices up !! The US importer pays the tariffs (US customs tax at port of entry) whom then passes it onto the consumer !!\nThe consumer can of course not purchase the product which would hurt Colombia exports; the importers would have to hurriedly find another source whom would probably also increase their price because of demand.\nTrump is a loser and always will be; his businesses are mostly failures; even casinos !!

Both sides lack enormous diplomatic skills. Trump is sending migrants back enchained which is is humanly degrading, and Petro is handling it like a toddler as well, knowing a lot of people depend on exports to the US.

China slapped bans on just about all Australians goods a few years ago. It was a wake up call for Australia as they realised they had relied too heavily on the Chinese market. So they found new export markets for their products. China, meanwhile experienced power shortages and realised they actually did need Australian coal. They have dropped all the tariffs and Australia is no longer putting all their eggs in one basket. The same will happen with US tariffs. Exporters will find new markets. The US will pay more or miss out.

Down to Americans whether they pay the tariffs. But considering Columbias main export is crude oil which America refines and sells back you gotta think that it’s the US refiners that will feel the hit

Considering how little Columbia exports to the US, I don't think the moderate government in Bogata is too concerned. But for the average Fox news watcher and retard MAGA crack pot, they still don't know or understand how tariffs actually work.

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .

Someone please makes sense of this for me. I'm placing a tariff on Columbian goods because i couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone and work with my allies? I'm raising prices by 25% on OIL, COFFEE and PETROL which will raise prices for the very voters i promised on day 1 to lower their living costs.\nSomeone please make sense of these opposing contradictions please. Does anyone actually believe he's so stupid as to still not fully grasp and comprehend that a tariff is a DOMESTIC direct consumer tax and the exporting country doesn't pay a copper penny to the US treasury? \nTrump's policies are to remove cheap labour from the country, while raising prices on every product coming into the USA . This is the moronic insanity MAGA voted for and millions of Dems stayed at home to not vote against. What a monumental mess in a week. Encore.
