UK entering the chat: we would love to do more trade with Canada

We need to walk away from the USA. Canada needs to build a Canadian vehicle line rather than anything from the USA. We need our own micro chip factory. We need to partner directly with other trading partners, even if it’s at a cost

What if Canada and Mexico decided to join the BRICS and forget about playing with Trump?

Based Canada.

Canada can put all the tariffs it wants on America if Trump closes the Border it'll destroy Canada's economy

All Trump wants is for Canada to secure the damn border. Why is that too much to ask?

Canada is, was, and will always be Brett hart. Usa =Shawn Michaels ? will be fine

We love the good people of Canada and can’t wait to welcome them as the 51st State.\n\nThe tariffs are meant to crack down on Chinese exports moving through Canada and Mexico as middle men to avoid their own tariffs. Had both Canada and Mexico regulated the terms of our agreements better on “product origin” then none of us would be in this position. Furthermore, China smuggles drugs through both Canada and Mexico using resins that are chemically embedded with synthetic drugs. So, neither Canada nor Mexico should be climbing on any high horses when their exports are killing our people.

Canada should have 0 tarifs on china ev

Yo Canada, you can't survive without the USA. Best listen to daddy Trump before your economy topples

Does Canada even have a military?

Canada and Mexico needs to coordinate tariffs to US products to increase their impact.

Canada should foster more trade relationships with Europe and Africa..

I’m betting that within one week Canada and Mexico will cave. It’s time these two countries stop taking advantage of the USA. God bless President Trump !!

Unlike other countries, Trump cannot play with Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Europe.

But this will make people pay 25% more just only target the companies that are linked with Trump. Canada & Mexico China is saying Hello nothing more just hello.

so it is Mexico first and Canada first, but not America first?

Canada gonna poorer than Mexico

Is this because Canada has universal health?

There is a Chinese proverb - enemy’s enemy is my friend. Now China, Mexico, Canada should work together for cooperation and isolate the U.S?

Canada and Mexico should quit NAFTA and apply to join the EU. If Trump wants to isolate the US, he can knock himself out.

Even if Canada cant win this, a response has to be given. Drumpf cant be allowed to think he can do what he wants to anyone without response.

Drill baby drill. You know Canada is in trouble and scared when they start talking about wars and 911. Canadians should say goodbye to their free healthcare to start with. USA will just do fine without Canada.

Who cares about Canada anyhow! ???

China will profit from this economic war between US and Canada

Trump is a foolish bully! Canada, we in Australia stand with you!

Canada should make zero tariff to Chinese goods and Canadian middle class can afford cheap EV and all other commodities. Treudeu should know that US has no friend but interest only. Henry Kissinger

CANADA sell your gas and oil to Europe, China and India.

Thank you Canada ?? unfortunately this administration only understands 1 language if DT continues Canada should cut off electricity&energy supply

Canada Mexico and China executive orders telling drug dealers and trespassers to stop. Easy peasy! ?

Vive le Canada

50 % Mr Trump to tyrant Trudeau and open border send all Ilegals to Canada all Venezuela gangs Haiti Honduras They will go instead to their countries Canada is communist country They are playing with fire Europe has no money give free

Uh oh…Canada and Mexico bout to find out.

Bring French Carrefour in Canada. Not Costco nor Walmart.

Canada and Mexico need to push for membership in BRICS

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Let’s see ? the US doesn’t need your milk, cheese, oil, lumber, cars really which is up to US manufacturers to open manufacturing in Detroit again…..maple syrup yes but I think we can get that somewhere else in the US too.\n\nCanada depends on the US for 75% of its gross GDP. It also costs the US $200 billion a year to continue trading with Canada. Will see who blinks.\n\nMX, good luck. Will see how many months before we hear a large Ugh..

Impose 100% tariff on canada

Canada & Mexico have facilitated the influx of drugs manly from China that have killed 100,000 Americans a year for the last 3 years! How did you think this was going to play out?

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.

Think the US will Sanction the leadership Canada and Mexico in retaliation....? Sanction the countries.. threaten to remove them form SWIFT...<< that would be a bit extreme but it is trump at the helm.

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.

Such a bad decision to do this with canada

What Trump said about Canada leaching on US economically and militarily is true..so why don't Canada rulers face it and fix the house from inside instead of, using the dispute as an election leverage ? How far their hypocrisy and opportunist minds can go ????

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

Thank you, Canada, for standing up to the orange wacko.

Usa : Canada and Mexico needs more democracy and freedom .

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 ! ?

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.
