It's a tax increase so why aren't you calling it higher taxes? The media are so shady at not being direct with the people.\n\n25% increase in import tax that the importer pays to the tariff increasing government. It's a 25% increase in government taxes

Canada and Mexico can now look forward to 50% tariffs. You're playing right into Trump's hand. You're going to be out of business sooner than later.

Canada should set the tariffs 40 percent back until they keep the guns and drugs out of Canada also. That's been a problem for decades.

The fact is that .2% of the fentanyl coming in to the United States comes from Canada. .2%. point two percent. And this warrants tariffs??

Germany and entire Europe is next.\nPay your NATO bill@ Germany.\nBe ready for USA tariffs.?

Europe including Germany is next.\nPay your NATO defence bill ,otherwise be ready for tariffs.

Smart world leaders know the ramifications of starting tariffs wars. They historically have never produced winners. Only \nlosers, because they hurt consumers on both sides. That’s \nwhy they are hardly ever used as weapons to settle disputes.\nWorld leaders as a result initiate dialogue over tariffs to resolve \ndisputes. We unfortunately do not have a smart leader at this time.

I don't get it. Canada has been stealing from US tax payers for decades under the 1 sides trade agreements..like for 100s of billions? You bitchin about a 25% tariff? Cry me river. Our President is not a DEI hire like those before . ?cheers!!

JT gameplay of retaliatory tariffs is to act as a giant slayer in the eyes of Canadians and get back to power. Sleasebag does not care for his voters and only cares about his getting back to power

No big surprise, here. Trump announced 25% tariffs some time ago. Not much leadership, other than Captain Ford waving his new ball cap! Rich people can afford tariffs, we ordinary people are the one's to feel the pain. Nothing new again!

Trump doesn't accept calls from Canada ofc because this is not about border security nor the 1% fentanyl going into the US. It is about being hawkish and potentially annexation of Canada in the far future. \nThese tariffs make way more sense against Mexico, considering the amount of border issues and fentanyl infiltrating in the US, but tariffs against Canada is just BS.

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

Way to not mention the huge tariffs Canada has on American goods like milk and cheese

Canada exports 77% of their goods to the USA . They can’t win a tariff war .

Canada, to appease the Americans put 100% tariffs on EVs from China, these should be reversed toute de suite. Let Canada be flooded with Chinese vehicles, Canada will soon be trafficking them to the U.S.

Thats ok we should made everything in US. They sure didnt care if we had to pay tariffs.

How to suck money out of savings accounts of the end consumers? Tariffs on all the popular products you can't domestically produce.

If the whole world is ruled by one government.. and presidents are just puppets .. this government orders every country to tariff the other reciprocally then simply the whole world gets taxed 25% and goes deeper into poverty as slavery … one year covid .. one year war … one year tariffs it’s like a chain of events all destroying the middle class

The most stupidest economic policies I have ever seen. Imposing tariffs on allies , pushing them away and creating animosity, unbelievable. China is leaking her chops.

I often wonder how individuals of such limited intellectual capacity manage to ascend to positions of elite power. Does Donald Trump even possess a functioning brain? His haphazard implementation of tariffs, left and right, raises the question: who ultimately bears the cost? Spoiler alert—it's the American people. In short, Trump is fabricating excuses to line his own pockets, masquerading as a so-called 'businessman' while operating more like a seasoned scammer. Cough Businessman? Hardly.

Good, hope EU will do the same soon, but with 85% of tariffs.

everything is so politicized now. for those how dont know ancient Greece was probably the first nation to use tariffs to protect their own products... to keep their own farms and pottery industry healthy and not rely so much on outside countries for staple goods Alexander Hamilton adopted this approach for America \nHamilton's goals for tariffs: \nRepay the country's foreign and domestic debt \nMeet the government's operating expenses \nPromote manufacturing in the United States \nFulfill the goals of his Report on Manufactures \nmind you there were NO INCOME TAXES... that's right.. absolutely NONE! the entire nation ran on funds from tarrifs!

It's time for cannucks to join the USA the man was honest from the beginning and offered u cannucks to join , so enjoy the TARIFF ???????

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 just put a 100% tariff on Moonshine, Banjos and Alligator products.

Europe will be next to be tariffed ?????25% tariffs coming to the eu real soon ?????

Question... where does the tariff money go.. when the American importer pays 25% on top of the base costs for the good where does that 25% go? who gets it.

President tariff

It's not just all the parties supporting Canada's counter tariffs. The Canadian people are in support, across political, cultural, economic and geographical lines. Canada has not been as unified about anything that I can remember (and I'm old). Plus, Canadians are a stubborn people with a more community oriented attitude than the USA and we don't like bullies. If we have to change brands of food, stop drinking bourbon and American beer, pay a bit more, even pay more taxes to cover the costs for people affected... so be it. BUT... when the tariff's are lifted, don't be so sure we'll just start buying American again. Stubborn also means we don't let things go easily.

Wierd way they prounounce tariffs, it has an 'a' in the word not an 'e'' tariffs NOT teriffs

What about all of the guns that are flowing into Mexico from the US? I think until that is addressed Mexico should impose increasing tariffs on the United States

Well, cant stand justin. But... \n\nCanadian's have been hurting bad for a few years now. What's a few more. \n\nI say screw tariffs. Just shut it all off. Power, oil, movie production, soft lumber, maple syrup, ALL natural resources. \n\nJust dont sell it to them at all.\n\n\nBuild up our own infrastructure and become the global monster we should be.\n\nProudly Canadian!

Europe is de winner ? no Tariffs

I hope the Eu is ready to help Ukrain and with the tariffs... It's time Eu wakes up and ditches the Us before it's too late. Because the orange man next hit list is Europe and the Uk.

People dont understand what a trade war means for everyone globally. Not only do tariffs result in inflation, they also mean that businesses are either reluctant to invest or cant due to thin margins. Effectively causing a global slowdown. We're entering interesting times

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.

Yes Canada will suffer, but they did not start the tariff war.

US tariffs n reverse tariffs on US by other nations will increase inflation globally

trump says that the e.u. is next to receive tariffs, so get ready.

America's population is 347 million. Canada's population is 40 million. (the same as California) Do you honestly believe Canadian tariffs will have any effect on the US?

Canadians will be living like cave men in caves before this tariff war ends. The smart money is on compliance by Justine Trudeau Governor of Canada.

Dont think for one minute that Trump hasnt expected this response. Theres another reason for the tariffs from the US.

Australian here. The US ranks alongside China as an unreliable trade partner, and I think it would be a huge risk for countries to assume that the US would honour any security pacts.\n\nAll branches of US Government are corrupted:\n\n1. Supreme Court - what would happen in your country if a justice of the highest court in your land was found to have accepted millions of dollars in financial benefits from a billionaire with business before the court.\n\n2. Whitehouse - a convicted felon is currently the President and he is supported by people who can’t even convince him the reality of who pays tariffs.\n\n3. House of Representatives - name one piece of legislation of significance that has emanated out of the House in 4 years? How many ridiculous fishing expeditions have they pursued for the sake of political gain. Responsible for withholding aid to Ukraine for months.\n\n4. Senate - confirmed the appointment of several cabinet members devoid of the requisite experience for their role, including an ex tv host to head up Defence who has issues for alcoholism, fidelity, was head of a veterans group charged with financial mismanagement, is accused of ra8e, and has white supremecy tattoos on his body.\n\nNot a country you can rely on.

Tariffs will be paid by Americans NOT by the foreign countries.

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

Canadian Prime Mnister? Surely that would be Ex-Prime Minister. Surely a better approach would be to engage with Trump and deal with the issues he has that caused the imposition of tariffs!

Trump is going to put a 100% tariff on Canada, they have no idea who they are dealing with. But they will know very soon!

Wonder if Canada can redirect the tariffs from US goods to pay for Trump’s tariffs so that they won’t have to pass it on to the consumer.

Trud.eau will tariff ketchup ??

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.
