IMEC TRADE COREDORE India Middle East European Corridor ? look at the map for the IMEC TRADE COREDORE it erases Palestine Southern Lebanon Jordan Israel doesn't want peace

Honestly, the Arabs don't care about the Palestinians. They care more about making trade and oil deals, investments, technology, tourism and military protection from the US and EU. They use the Palestinians for this purpose as pawns. For example, Israeli soldiers are vacationing in UAE after their attack on Gaza. That sums it all.

I don't believe in poaching young talent from other countries. Countries should spend more on giving all it's young a chance to get a education in their own country not just the rich or government workers.Yes I would like to see a youth work exchange program so we get use to each other and trade fairly. Canada should not be taking education dollars from India or brain draining talent that can build up it's own country.

Pfft. The vast majority of the fentanyl going both ways across the Canadian border is done by Americans.\n\nA good number of us (Canadians) think we should shut down our border and all trade with the US. Your Mango Mussolini is lying through his teeth to everybody.

Block trade with Canada. Put the pressure on them.

Canada be ready for the tariff that may will go higher than 25% thanks to the woke Justin liberal/NDP and they called themselves a good close neighbours of USA and calling for a trade war against president Trump what a joke , thank you for this video hopping that candain watching this video since the candain media doesn't not reporting what happened in the world.

Amazing terrorists criminals drug smuggling sex trade coming over the boarder and the radical lefties LOVE THEM ??and these governors and mayors flip the American people the bird

Put a fucking concrete wall to Canada border, 98,7 % Hard drugs in Canada come from USA border !!!, 96,3 % of illegal migrants in Canada come from USA border !!! 100 % illegal Guns in Canada come from USA Border..... please orange garbage bag closed the fucking border and no more trade.... to explain for low educated compare Canada with under 39 millions peoples and America 433 millions peoples, take your time to understand the only true, not from fox family.... Canada vs USA for 1 illegal migrants enter in USA from Canada, 1000 illegal migrants enter in Canada from USA, For guns 100 % illegal Guns enter in Canada come from USA, 0.00 % illegal Guns enter in USA from Canada, no one..... they're more drugs dealers USA that Canada have citizens, included kids, olders, priest etc.....

in the US, the last vestiges of the slave trade only exist on our borders. Democrats will oppose the end to the slave trade of the 21st century with the same vigor they used to protect their slaves in the 1800s.. Nothing is new, just the language shift to protect them from their consciences.

LOL. average of 3.3 million migrants last year.... 500 000 were illegal. You are worried about 13000 from the Canadian border. DOnald did nothing but move his mouth and made noise. His threats mean nothing. We already had border security addressed. We already are doing what we were doing and Donald did.... nothing.... same as Mexico....DOnald demanded 10 000 guards on Mexican border.... so Mexico took away 10 000 from the 20 000 they had at the border. Your leader is an idiot and you are believing him? Americans think this is a win.... but you did nothing but end free trade. Now your allies trade for FREE with the world.... You get no minerals, no energy, no oil.... because your leader negotiated by bullying..... and you cannot bully a country unless you want to start a war. Your leader is a moron... do not drink the kool aid.... because when the immigrants are gone.... who is next to blame for crime and housing crisis?

I “hate” Canada mainly for its absolutely brutal and barbaric fur trade that STILL continues, before any other reasons (which are multiple). \n\nPlease spread the word about it. \n\nMeanwhile young Canadians are rightfully depressed because Canada is a shithole and not a genuine country. It’s a huge open institution and a corrupt company at once.

Send them back but treat them as humans not slaves India your mad if you still want to go to USA....this is how your classmate is treated ...why ? because he she was hungry to feed their families to find jobs they went to USA....this is how India is treated mukesh and Nita ambani ......this is your brother and sister wake up you dam India....stop trade with usa

Dont worry come back to india work or do business learn a trade, India has lots of oppertunities but each one has to search and find it, dont loose heart, dont be ashamed,, even animals cross borders to find food and water , its natural,, but we humans made man made rules, regulations, borders for each countries security, stability, and well being, respect it, ???

America needs to pull out our military protection and our troops and stop ? all trade and aid to Canada let Canada fend for them selves

Rhese chains reminds me of the slave trade

Stick with XRP and BTC as much as you can guys. If everyone sells when it starts to fall, which at one point it will, the dream may be lost because of it being too volatile for companies to get behind. just remember where it's going and don't be put off by short term fluctuations and don't facilitate this dream into becoming a nightmare. The coinbase thing will undoubtedly be replaced by another incident but it will always correct to higher until it's mooned naturally. Don't give up on it and start day trading it, it will take too much time and concentration. Remember XRP is probably bitcoin part 2. It is quite unfortunate that the most popular word lately amongst crypto enthusiasts and traders alike is “hodl.” This concept of “holding on for dear life” in itself may not be a bad idea but why hold on to an investment instrument which could make you some money, or make you very miserable tomorrow? Making a good profit off crypto is easy if and only if you can find the right entry point and exit point in your day trading. Someone I discovered that has tremendously helped me with this is Mr. Ivan Patrice. He has a system which is so effective it amazes me. I have been using his signals and strategies and have turned out a very impressive profit over the last two months. I would suggest him for beginners and even more experienced traders who have a problem turning in a consistent profit. His ¥OU-TUB£- Ivanpatrice. Also on t£l€gram\n\n\n\n\n,.,.,.,.,.,.,.

Here goes the great saying:\n“First they came for communists, I didn’t speak because I was not a communist.\nThen they came for the Trade Unions, I didn’t speak because I was not a unionist.\nThen they came for catholics,\nI didn’t speak because I was not a catholic.\nThen they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me.”

I have spent quite a bit of time in USA and I always find my experience split. For the most part the people and places are great. As a filmmaker I have shot in NYC, California, Mississippi to name a few. The people were always accommodating and friendly. One time a gentlemen and his wife that allowed us to film in his property would bring us hot chocolate at night, then offered to shoot anyone who got in our way. I was also filming in the desert in 2009 and I almost got shot in the face by a group of police officers that charged in guns out and tempers raging, before realizing that we had film permits and were scheduled to be on site. Only to have the crew say that if I was black they would have shot first and asked questions later. As tensions rise between Canada and USA with Trump's trade war and attempt to ANNEX Canada I think I will do my filming in other parts of the world, if not in Canada. I have plenty of American friends and know a lot of Canadians that live in the US. I just hope things settle between our two nations soon. Where do you live? Interested to see what part of the States you live in.

but look at it this way 104 people vs the few people the had to fly the plane i too would like them to be safe and secure for all people involved this ain’t spirit airlines so even trade because we know if they are safe and secure they will get to the destination

For a PM who never cared about trade from day one, he now feels the urgency; in fact he destroyed past trade relationships. Canada has withdrawn from trade with Asia (Apec), Europe and South America and even made enemies with large trading partners like China, India and Saudi Arabia, so who do we trade with now?. Trump sees all these and knows Canada is very weak

Amazing in contrast to years ago when Indian devotees made altars and effigies of worship of Donald trump, like a vedic god. Now trump burned in effigy. Narendra modi agreed to take indians back from America, so not to upset trade with trump and USA. Republican Vivek ramaswami had yelled to end birth right citizenship, to end h1-b visas for South Asian tech workers, then flipped with Elon musk, an illegal South African that violated his visa terms. Modi and Indian parliament can always kick out parasitic westerners and Americans in India in exchange.

Now is the time for Trump to step up and demand these countries send its own aircraft to pick up its own citizens. \nTrump can tell other leaders,\n“We will have ‘em ready, for when you get here.”\nThis is something Trump would do, or send each country a bill, then threaten trade wars.

The absurdity of Trumps balanced trade argument is that the USA is a wealthy country and he is projecting that wealth upon his trading partners when in reality the trading partners are not as affluent as Americans. They simply cannot afford to buy as many goods as the USA. To equalize trade requires more affluence in these trade partner countries, instead of crippling them with additional costs. Additionally Trump does not concede the difference between buying raw materials vs finished goods. When USA buys endless oil from Canada, and Canada does not buy enough cars from USA, you will have absolutely an unavoidable trade imbalance. Average GDP per Canadian is half the GPD of USA per person.

Why is america all9wing Columbia Mexico afghistan to carry on trading drugs its all about money and greed

If america really cared they cud have stopped the drug trades in Columbia and Mexico and Afghanistan this wudnt have happened but we all who r clever and educated know the white man is the biggest game player ...

in the name of soft power. even a country like Bengladesh has audacity to defy india for no fault of it. In the name of soft power india allowed trade balance remain adverse even in case of small countries.

Those in India still studying colonial ckassroom education and think US is like Hollywood, get a reality check. Slave trade looked like this and entire Western civilization was built on slaves and colonialism.

Miss plaki Sharma those who are under trade deficit dont negotiate \nThey are some tariffs away from , and become non negotiable at all \nNo 5 on economy based on gdp doesnt make any status for visas\nWhy u r adding only economic factor but not behavioral factors

Goes to show you how many South American countries are run by dictators and the average citizen I'm not talking about the criminal element who could also be women not just men are sent here. As I said before a man and his wife with children who want to come here legally to bring their trades with them and pursue the American dream and have their children enrolled in American schools work and whatever industry that they have experience with or schooling themselves are welcome. The individual very leery about just the men and just women coming across the border without family there's a subliminal message there very dangerous sorry to say and this is coming from a legally registered independent voter neither Republican nor Democrat

Legal immigration could help the USA......Bring back some of jobs most people who live in the USA don't want to do.... increase our tax base. Lower our food prices.... Help build more houses. Factories jobs will not pay a lot for manual labor again, those days are over ... but we will still need engineers.... computer IT people.ect..If young people don't get an education or get into a trade you will be out of luck.

I expect Trump to implement tariffs on the EU, after the election in Germany. If he did it before, the German voters might be reminded of how much sense it makes to be in the EU, which is strong enough to stand up to the US and its bully in chief. People might be less prone to vote for the party that wants to leave the trading block (AfD).

Canada and Mexico need to find other trade partners and have stronger relationships with other countries and start trading with each other stop relying on America for everything just because they are closer start trading with Denmark . Canada in general get along better with other countries better then America America will end up suffering not Canada . When you start treating your trading partners bad it only affects America in the end ….. Canada will find other countries. We are not hated around the world …. They want to pick a fight with Canada then stop being so nice ?. As a Canadian it’s too stop relying on America for everything we have our own natural resources and trump wants them . Cut him out 100%. Let America be it’s on island time to start trading with other countries. Americans will end up paying MORE FOR ITS PICK UP TRUCK the jokes on them . Stop selling gas to the USA on a discount make them pay higher prices.

Didn’t trump sign this current free trade agreement ?

US trade war, and the winner is China

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

The US is no longer a stable and friendly ally of Canada, Canada would be wise to increasingly diversify its trade partners.

Mexican here.\nWe can always keep free trade between us ????. and, definitely, increase together our trade with Asia and Europe.\nYou, Canadians, are not alone.

There is something Canada and Mexico don't get, Trump put tariffs because of the illegal trade that comes across the borders, illegal immigrants, gangs and drugs and because he thinks, right or wrong, that Mexico and Canada don't do enough to stop it. Now Mexico and Canada put tariffs on the US, because the US puts tariffs on them, they don't even try to defend their position or debunk what trump is saying about the illegal goods coming in. Trump must be right then, no?

Long term solution for Canada will be to make alliance with Russia, India and China, which are the future. \nHaving Russia, across the Arctic, will help increase trade with Russia and India and China through it. \nLet USA worry about having Russia and China sitting at its whole Northern border.

EU is a thing of the past they have stayed to attached to the US Corruption far too long. \nBRICS is where the trade will be headed unless America wakes up fast. BRICS partners will gobble up the excess and laugh all the way to the bank as America suffers the worst blows in history because they supported a silver spoon child that just lined his cabinet with blood sucking leeches !\n\nThat is NOT to say Blues have not done the same they just hid it better from the public eye !\n\nWhen America grows a pair of B@LLS and support a new party, anyone but RED OR BLUE... The public, the peons and servants will suffer the most while SLIME gets Tax Breaks, Subsidies and Preferred Treatment !

Canada should have free trade with China.

China is standing by waiting for mexico and canada . Thry are not scared of trump. We will suffer. Everthing will go up . Poeople dont be fooled trudeau is right Americans will feel it.. watch chine closesly they will trade more with china

They benefited immensly from trade with the US for almost free for a long time.

Maybe other Latin American countries can trade more with USA

Canada needs to simplify interprovincial trade and allow grants for hydroponic farming that will allow Canada to be self-sufficient for produce round the year

Tariffs are consumer taxes on imports, collected from your own citizens, whenever they buy products or services from other countries. Trump said he would reduce taxes. He told voters other countries paid for Tariffs. They Don’t. They just lose sales, due to diminished demand. Tariffs are another way for the US government to tax its own people and reduce its trade deficit . It’s probably about time. USA has had a trade deficit every year, since 1970.

Trade war with the largest economy in the world? Good luck with that

The world should simply stop trading in dollars. Then the US will fold like a pack of cards.

Retaliation tariffs. That's a ridiculous idea. You don't win a tariff war when you're the country that has a trade surplus. In 2023, Canada imported approximately $431.2 billion worth of goods from the United States, while the United States imported approximately $354.3 billion worth of goods from Canada. That's going to hurt Canada a whole lot more than it'll hurt us.
