Typical Americans and Trump. Sign a free trade agreement and then when you feel like it just violate it for your own interest. They only play by their own rules. If Canada violated the agreement they would all over it. A while back they tried to nail Canada with 4 billion in softwood lumber tariffs in that they claimed Canada violated the free trade agreement, which they did not. The arbitrary trade council which oversees both countries ordered the USA to pay back Canada the 4 billion. The USA never did. Trump claims Canada treats them unfairly yet they are the ones who violate the agreements. They are the poor trading partner. Canada should trim the exports to the USA significantly and find alternatives. Just cut out the corrupt Americans led by a convicted criminal.

If the Truckers where in charge of Gayada wouldn’t be any tariff problem!

Trump is such a genius! But that others can impose tariffs, too is just unfair!!! ?

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!!!

Just don’t buy American, forget tariffs they are not needed. The US is doing a money grab to all that sell things to the US to finance no federal income tax to the American people.

I can tell you those tariffs don’t affect Mexico as much as people living in U.S. while food gas prices will skyrocket ?

Canada, place a 35% tariff on all Elon' s products and provide a 15 k grant for the Polestar and all other non American made electric cars.

Tariffs are gathered by the US Treasury, and Trump is in power to enrich himself by taking from the world's biggest financial reserve right in front of everyone, just like last time.

Secure your borders and avoid US tariffs. As simple as that. It’s not a rocket science.

100 percent tariff on canada ...canada should be punished for its deed and his joker pm treadeau ....also put travel ban on justin joker

Hey Mexico and Canada! Raise your tariffs!! so America can raise its Tariffs to 100%!!!! We can live without your business, but you can't live without ours!!! So let's go!! raise em!!!

Europe economy is finally going to be saved as long as the Europe does not follow the US tariff policies.

What level of tariffs should be imposed by Canada and Mexico on the USA for the flow of guns to those countries?

Canada should impose a 100% tariff.

Mexico and Canada imposing tariffs on the US is not going to hurt us like they think. We have more ships and planes and are able to move more goods faster to other countries who will buy. Not to mention the fact that Mexico and Canada were never fair to us in trading. In the end they will have hurt themselves way more then the US. Why do you think Trump has done this and most of us are not worried.

The tariffs will make it cheaper to make cars in the usa and the automotive industry will move back to Detroit. That is what trump is after. He wants to get american jobs back that were taken by our friendly neighbors.

Retaliation has nothing to do with tariffs. Get on it and do it right. One and done.

Trump's lifelong love for tariffs is not economically driven but to wield power. In most power plays in the private sector he got away with it and was able to stiff subcontractors and business partners with less resources and less criminal energy than himself. I hope other countries won't budge and give from the start the right answer to this wannabe fascist power drunken criminal.

400% tariffs on Teslas, Twitter and SpaceX lesss goooo!!!

China has a lower tariff rate because both Trump and Musk have business contracts there and they are making sure they are not fully affected.

Tariffs are horrible, the most evil thing that can happen... other than actually securing our borders. 10 out of 10 Globalists (and their media mouthpieces) agree!

Don't vote for Ford, people, he spent years kissing up to Trump before these tariffs.

Turdeau is such an immature adolescent; he is woefully ignorant that a country with a positive trade balance can NEVER win a tariff war. Same with Mexico. But sure, if Turdeau and Scheinbaum want to tank their economies, go right ahead.

Canada alone can’t compete but if Mexico also places retaliatory tariffs it might be a different story

Trump is imposing those tariffs because both governments are liberal, and nothing to do with drugs coming into the US.

Im impartial to this but isnt that what Trump wanted to happen in the first place, want to avoid tariffs? Make them in USA.

The fun part is that even if America relents, the countries they imposed tariffs against WON'T

When will EU, South Korea, Japan and other poodles of the US retaliate against the US? Didn’t you learn anything from Nordstream? from their pressuring you to defend Israel’s genocide? from tariffs against Japanese cars in the 1990s, against European cars in 2000s?\n\nDitch the US and Britain.

As an American, I'm with both Canada and Mexico. There is absolutely no reason for these tariffs. Please concentrate on the RED STATES that have caused this mess.

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

Everyone should put tariffs on the USA. The people won’t be very happy when they can’t buy anything

I'd BAN Tesla, not raise the tariffs on them, just flat out ban them! I'd also ban Twitter/X. I mean, the right use Twitter to attack the Canadian left so banning Twitter would be a two-fer!

Trump needs to put huge tariffs on Taiwan.

Instead of addressing the issue, Justin intends to adopt a confrontational stance by imposing tariffs once again. His election holds greater significance for him than the well-being of the people.

canadian here - we should put tariffs on energy only, the tariffs on everything else will just hurt Canadians, if our dollar is crappy Americans will spend money here if there are no tariffs.

America should increase tariff again and make it 50%.

Canada tariff on US?

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

Hahaha Canada is going to fold…their economy cannot stand the tariffs more than 6 to 8 days. The US can in house or import everything from other countries. Canada doesn’t have the luxury…the US protects the moment of their goods. \n\nBtw Germany…the US protects the moment of your goods as well…don’t test the US.

Tariffs can be a useful tool but it shouldn't be the only tool. For this US president it's like his only tool. Applying tariffs to everything is like trying to use a hammer to fix everything. It will just end up hurting ordinary people ?

US tariff 25% for everything except 10% for energy. Canada only tariff about 150 B among 800 billion us import. Is this a huge retaliation.

As an American, I didn't vote for this clown. What Trump is doing right now is showing the world that the US\nis getting weaker and is in decline. He is using his bullying politics with Tariffs that are harming his Ally\nin Canada and Mexico. This will backfire. Both Canada and Mexico can join BRICS, and flip the US the finger.\nWhy? BRICS is cheaper and more profitable. The US dollar is worth less now and is declining as we speak.\nThis is a sign of weakness and desperate measures.

More tariffs on Canada!! Trump will slap them back into line!

Ok USA needs to increase over 55% in tariffs, for sure Canadian will be fine for it too..

The tariffs will drop after Pierre becomes PM.

Impose 100% tariff on canada

It makes sense to replace income tax with import tariffs. What does not make sense is to impose tariffs withoit lowering income tax.

It's incredible that so many of the people commenting here don't understand the reason for the tariffs. We're being invaded by illegal aliens and deadly drugs. The point of the tariffs is to prod your leadership into doing the right thing. Stop allowing our country to be flooded with poisons that are killing us. If you're really good guys, you would stand up to the actual bad guy, your prime minister Trudeau. Keep in mind he's flooding your country with dangerous islamists. You should want that to stop

Tariff is good, so every country has it.

America tariffs, and sanctions all it's enemies. Now we know, so FU2 eh !
