Trump is Right as he wants to protect America. Mexico is acting as a 3rd party for China by sending Tarriff Chinese goods into the U S.

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

Most people in the comments section are delusional. Trump is removing the illegal immigrants. I mean try illegally entering my country you will be slapped out of it. America tolerating this kind of nonsense for so long has washed off it’s public of common sense and rational thinking.

Trump is a clown. America is already losing all its friends.

Will to those countries trump sanctions, stand tall as America wouldn't be able to hold for long. They needs your products ,you must now group together and counter with your sanctions too ! Only when he surrenders ,but still must keep your sanctions on .until he begs like a begger .

Just remember, 1/2 of America didn't want Trump

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

Trump is _lying_ about his reasons for putting tariffs on Canadian goods? Really? Now that's totally _in character_ for America's Liar In Chief, _the Felon_ in the White House.

Trump really doesn't get it that a significant portion of America's prosperity comes from the longest undefended border in the world.

Trump is going to screw up the entire world, not only America. He is just nuts.

So if America sold a massively addictive drug to your countries you would be ok with that killing your citizens. ???????? Really mabey ask yourselves why is trump doing this.

Well done Canada and Mexico, the World just needs to stand together for 4 years until Trump gets kicked out and America gets back to normal

Trump is anti war/ anti Establishment but pioneer of Economic/Trade War...????anyways Best wishes to Trum's America &Canada of people/Mexico of circumstances from Pakistan ❤❤❤❤

The trouble with political commentators is they try to think like a politician? Trump is not a politician! So think like a businessperson, its the deal and what is the best deal for the USA. At present he is the catalyst for many things and the most worried are the politicians and a lot of their lucrative deals they have made, in most cases not to the benefit of the country! In fact, it does America a favor, so if it becomes cheaper to make it at home, guess what? That's what they'll do, create investment, employment, greater wealth etc! And like most media outlets, they like to mix facts up, its not drugs from the north thats the problem. What Trump is implying is that Canada is aiding and abetting illegal immigration to another sovereign country via government policies! Plus the Trump administration is transporting illegals back to their country of origin rather than to the last country that harbored them! And the common theme is, the people suffer for what?

America don't need the world. America have God. Trump don't succumbs. Trump should immediately banned Mexico and Canada products to the USA

Trump need to understand it’s not all about America ?? alone you lead the whole world not bullying

Great they still loose the trade war, go Trump make America great again

America is cracking down on crime. Coming to America illegally is a crime. Criminals should be afraid. They were walking proudly around before because there were no consequences. Thank God for Trump

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

BDS America and Americans!! They need to be made to feel the economic, social, and cultural pain of being a pariah State/people. Americans just voted Trump into office again, so they ALL carry the blame for Trump's actions.

America is doing what is should have a long time ago, bravo to Trump for shaking the tree.

Canada should have moved away from dependency on America after Trump 1.0. Never trust a friend like America. They are not benevolent partners.

Justin Trudeau's border plan of 1.3 billion over six to ten years is a joke! Tariffs on America after several US administrations tried to work with Canadian governments to stop provocations in trade, border security, immigration, and many other issues, only to fall on deaf ears or passive responses, not to mention Trudeau's derogatory comments about Trump being a racist. At the same time, Trudeau was caught having a history of wearing racist blackface. Not wise! \n\nFor some odd reason, Trudeau thought it was also wise to mock the American President, Donald Trump, with other European leaders while attending a meeting in the UK at Buckingham Palace, which clearly invited bad blood between the two. Not to mention his missteps while traveling in Europe and meeting with Kamala. He also increasingly chose to snuggle up to China. However, America has provided Canada with favorable trading relations and high-cost subsidies in the form of military and territorial security for decades. That clearly was a slap in the face and wasn't very smart! You had to figure some American president would ultimately say enough!\n\nAmerica has supported, defended, and offset the national defense costs of European nations for over seventy years, while EU countries and their leaders have routinely mocked and ridiculed Americans. Is it really classy to slap the face of someone who protects and supports you and your quality of life? No, it's not! Tariffs on EU products are likely coming soon, and reduced defensive support for Europe means they will have to pay more taxes for their defense and goods.

As an American, I welcome all countries being threaten by Trump and his version of America to fight back. Arguing and reasoning with the other half of America isn't working for us. But maybe, a reality check by hurting their wallets will. Do it--don't hold back. Don't bow down to this wannabe dictator. The other half of America can survive--those who voted for Trump will not.

Don't punish all of America for Trumps mistakes. I was fortunate enough to be granted a student visa so I could go to collage in Canada I consider those some of the best years of my life.

Trump has started a war against its allies (Canada, Mexico EU, Denmark). Previously, I thought he had a plan, now It seems like he is just happy with controversial speeches and media headlines, I don't think his actions are going to benefit America.

why doesnt Canada just sanction America? ban all American goods in response? forcing trump to waive the tarifs?

As a European I am so sorry to hear this. I love America, but this is going to cause so much harm in the relationship between the countries of the west. It is only a matter of time before Trump does the same for goods coming from the EU.

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.

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

Everyone around Trump is a foreign agent working for one of the BRICS countries. Ramaswamy and Patell are working for India, Elon Musk and Peter Theil for South Africa. And of course, we all know the Trump's financial ties to China and Russia. \n\nTo top it off, you have America's old friend The UK sticking the knife in our backs by selling it with their Commonwealth News Corp 'Fox News'.

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.

Unfortunately, this is probably financed by the globalist to discredit Trump and make him look like he is a dictator.\nWake up America.

The USA has elected it's worst president in Donald Trump. I still don't see what translates to competence or professionalism in Trump. He may be a necessary figure to reset certain things. But he is going to harm America's socioeconomic status

I don't think Trump will last 4 years,, he might pass it onthe throne, he is forgetting the world is an interconnected global chain, but the world can live without America, Russia has proven this.

Steady as she goes America. God Bless President Trump.

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.

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 promised to lower prices and he's doing the exact opposite. I did vote for him because Harris wasn't it; but Trump is going to destroy America.

France,,, UNREAL!!!!,,,report on internet say,,,will send military to Greenland to stop America and Trump!!!! ;))

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.

Russia, China and its BRICS partners appreciate Trump and the USA for their hostile attitude towards Canada, Mexico, Latin America and Europe. They will certainly take the opportunity to strengthen their business relationships with all of them. The BRICS are open for business…

Trump’s tariffs (/geo-economic warfare)—and his desire to annex Canada and Greenland and seize back control of the Panama Canal—has got little to do with immigration or drugs coming into the US (whatever happened to Build the Wall?) especially in the case of Canada. It’s about debt and power, the former growing, the latter fading. Trump himself has said tariffs are a means to make America wealthy and to abolish income tax. It’s got to do with America living outside its means with massive deficits and ballooning debt, and rather than take responsibility for that, the US thinks others should pay (when US consumers will) for it to continue to live outside its means, while it cuts taxes largely to the benefit of the wealthy... \nRemember when Iraq invaded Kuwait, how it said it was because Kuwait (and the United Arab Emirates) caused a drop in oil prices with the overproduction of crude oil, thus impacting Iraq’s ability to pay its debts and recover from the Iran-Iraq war, but really it was about seizing Kuwait’s large oil reserves, canceling the debt it owed Kuwait, and expanding its power in the region… Sound similar?

This interesting is Donald trump giving united states' America back to native American Indian people that be so appropriate to do the right thing to do give back there native country back to them

Don’t let black women become presidents, Kamala deliberately made a fool of herself on tv while she knew the whole time trump was going to become president again, she was racist and sexist a few times on tv, she insulted black people herself by saying they don’t know what computers are, shes a fool.\nWhite women are far more educated then black women, I’m ok with having Barack Obama again but he’s not running again, so thats that, we don’t have any black men running for president anymore atm, if anything, we cannot let black women become president though, Hillary Clinton is anything else although but eligible to be our leader as shes evil, she wouldn’t take care of American’s, she would’ve only made Putin want to attack America so she’d not have control at all she’d be instead leading us to our deaths.\nAny other white woman but her otherwise mu suffice with being president next, but theres a lot of work needed to clear up atm anyways, with trump coming back once again, we can’t help it now, its to late to go back tk wanting Biden again as we can’t turn out trump for biden since trump won again, so thats just the game we’re playing here atm, we just can’t.

Too many different Black in America. \n\nThe Black Americans are known as Negro during the President Abraham Lincoln. \n\nAmerican Negro are once upon a time a popular breed in America. The Negro are proud and stand Tall. Now Negro are no longer popular as they are infiltrated by a list of black all over tarnishing the name of the Black Americans. \n\nPresident Trump ... get rid of the uncultured Black that created unrest, protests, gangsterism, murder, rapists, drug addicts..... name it all infected until Americans not to take action and suffers for their deeds. \n\nWell done, MAGA Team. \n\nGod Save America\n\nLet the True Blood Black America stand Tall in America.

Instead, we got laugh at???????????????!!!!! Now that Trump is back in office, many African immigrants are very quit now!!!!! They thought we wasn't serious. Now Somalis and other Africans are being deported!!!!! You were warned!!!!! FBA all the way, everyday????????????????????!!!!! Akin?.

How did Illegal Africans end up in America??? They are Always up to No Good in Africa,how will they Behave in America??? Bullshit. Deport them Please King Trump ???

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.

Because their own country dont give support to them like ours can or does and they know this and democrats granted them housing and money and phone's this is why we needed trump as president because cartels will not bribe Republicans to keep promoting drug sells in America either
