Any tariffs against Russia?!

Hmm, well canada can stop the illegal immigration coming through into the US. Trump will drop the tariffs. So simple. But they ignore the main point

good speech from trudeau wont stop the tariffs but good speech

Trump tariffs will destroy Canada and Mexico economically.

I don't know why President Trump is trying to bully his neighbors with tariffs. Well, they are retaliating now. Let's see who suffers.

The tariffs will hurt the US economy, but Canada and Mexico can't replace USA consumerism by trading with other countries, so who will break first?

It's amazing that most Canadians have no clue that Canada has had tariffs of 300% on most US goods for ages. Adding 25% isn't going to do anything. This is a clear overreaction by Canada. So it's now 325% compared to 300%? Whut? Trump will now raise it to 50%. Look, if Trump raises tariffs to be equal to that of Canada, it's game over for Canada.

18th February Europe will get the tariff shock.

next, tariffs on EU

Trudeau is on his way out but he has the backing of all of Canada against these brutal US tariffs

I get why trump would tariff mexico. But why canada? I hate all this bs.

Canada to retaliate with tariffs on US Goods.\nLet us know how that goes Canada! LMAO

Poor Canada and Mexico. They just lost a huge market. 50% tariff from Americans now.

Trump promised retaliatory tariffs in response to Canada's tariffs. So what will the new tariffs be: 50%? USA will be hurt by Canadian tariffs, but given its smaller economy, in four years, Canada will be economically destroyed by US tariffs. Canadian dollar, which is 1.45 to the US dollar, may soon rise to 1.8-2.0, and Canada's leading bankers have said that Canada is looking at high interest rate and recession.

Canada really don't understand the equation, they stand nowhere infront of US. They should better comply with Trump to avoid more tariffs or possible sanctions. US can destroy their economy like Iran or Venezuela. Canada has no partners at the world stage, they never invested. \nIf you want to show strength, first build it. Canada is totally at the mercy of US.

USA will raise tariffs to 50% on Monday… Checkmate….

As an american devastated by trumps win, I wish the canadians & Mexico would increase the tariffs. This man is causing chaos. The republicans made this bed & we are all forced to sleep in it. As a mexican american & a woman, my feelings are evn stronger

If tariffs are so bad; why would your solution be to do the exact same thing?? Doesn’t make sense. Sounds like your going to sink your country

EU says will retaliate Trump's Tariffs,,,EU forget you dont get any Gift money anymore from USA,,,Trump wants fair trade!!! ;))

Trump warned that if Canada retaliated then Trump will up the tariffs so 25% just became 50%.. Trumps issue is 1) Trade deficit. 2) NATO slackers ... Canada is only 1.8% then finally 3) Border issues

I think we could already be part into a Great Depression 2... there are so many similarities between now and 1929...protectionism and tariffs is just one similarity..

Woke feminists will be punished by tariffs better elect proper government, Canada. Go woke go broke project 2025 US is back!

Canada is not ready for this tariff war, and it is all due to the 10 years of Trudeau government. Justin promised help to people, but the only help that can be provided is in printed money, which will put Canada into even deeper depression. It may take 2 generations for Canada to recover from what Justin did to Canada.

Its a bit of a headscratcher why US is imposing heavy handed tariffs on Canada if illegal immigration and drug trafficking from Canada is not that high. Almost seems like a personality issue - Trump doesnt like Trudeau bcoz he made fun of him or something..

25% tariffs against billions of dollars worth of goods was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today. Billions Dementia Donald. For the simpletons, that means most everything you buy from Canada will be 25% more expensive, even toilet paper.

Cannada and Mexico shouldnt complain about the tiny tariffs Mr Trump put on them,,,..The Biggests are gonna be on EU!!!!! ;))

The greatest tariffs, fantastic tariffs, tremendous tariffs.? (don't tell the maga cult that tariffs are taxes paid by consumers)

To bake a cake you need to break a few eggs.\nPut more tariffs on the 51st state...

Won’t be good on the US to get 25% tariffs from Canada, 25% from Mexico, and 10% from China. Each country got 25% or 10%. But the US all together will get 60% tariffs.\nthe tariffed products are different and come from different countries. However, the tariffs enter the US economy together.

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?

Remember, Trump promised he would lower the cost of groceries. He also said he was going to impose tariffs on imported goods from other countries. You should know that tariffs will RAISE the cost of living not lower it. When Trump was asked about it by a reporter, he said tariff costs are passed along to consumers which may cause short term disruption. But then said he wasn’t concerned about disruption because we should understand. We can’t afford food and gas now. This POTUS has no brain!

Trump needs put very large tariffs on Mexico. The Mexican government stood by until this March of people marched all the way there. It has taken them two days to get to the border.

Trump's tariffs will cause some price increases. Gold is going higher ! I predict that Gold will reach approximately\n$3,100 to $3,200 per ounce by mid-March 2025 !\nget it - get it - GET IT !!

Go Go Mexico!!\nStay Strong !!\nCanada too will hit back hard with retaliatory tariffs.\nIf that’s the only way that America can learn\nThen let their pain begin\nIt’s time for countries to stand up to Trump and send a strong message that we will not be bullied!!

Soo the worse trump does the more Americans will pay trump tarriffs to do as much bad as he can anywhere he can apply other tariffs for Americans to pay

I think in a tariff Canada will lose in a week sad but true

Close the Border. Put a 100% Tariff on everything from Mexico.\n\nThey’ll fix their Drug and Human Trafficking problem, or the Sheinbaum Regime will be overthrown by the People.

CNN should do a story on tariffs. The consumers bear the cost.

Can't wait for 25% tariff on German cars.

I hope Columbia will ban everything from coming into their country from the United States. And Columbia should not allow anything to come in from their country from the United States. Trump will take this country broke and he will put this country into another depression . Thank MAGA for putting this idiot back into the United States . Expect all prices to go up because other countries will put their own Tariffs on the United States just because Trump is a idiot and will always be a idiot. What a ass hole we have as a President if you want to call this ass hole Trump a President.

People mad that we are going to tariff (tax) other countries who benefit from doing business with the U.S. but okay with the government placing tarrifs on our own peoples income for working and contributing to the local economy through commerce. Tariffs seem more fair. At least if they want to reduce the spending they do less business with the U.S. we have to work for an income to even live here. We have zero choice about income tax and in fact, can be jailed for being unable to pay it.

the fact is that those who transition have to take hormonal treatments for the rest of their life. regardless of the qualities someone who is trans may have placing them in military units create problems. in addition there is the fact that transitioning may have other long term health effects that would raise the cost of medical benefits for our soldiers and veterans. this is not the simple issue of discrimination based on sexual identity that CNN wants to portray it as. whether we have a tax based economy or a tariff economy in the future up until now it is the American taxpayer that has had to fund military expenses including health care for our soldiers and veterans.

Canada has exposed itself to criminals from various countries starting with India who are manipulating relaxed visa requirements. In addition there are no consequences for crime committed. \n\nAdd to that currently majority of employers are opting to hire students and refugees as it is easy to control behaviours. Provincial and federal governments are complicit and in process subjecting Canadians to hardships. \n\nWith American tariffs are on the verge of being forced on the country which in turn will deteriorate living conditions and as a result may cause chaos.\n\nCanada needs to gets its act together and deport majority of these students and refugees or be prepared to suffer.

Canada is doing the job now. Much better than now Because of President Trump, threatening Canada with tariffs

Trump's executive orders are only to distract Americans attention away from his efforts to loot the federal government by way of tariffs

Hold on..the tariffs will cause problems for the American consumer, right? So why did Trump make this such a point in his campaigns? Am i missing something?

Send in the army and impose the most punitive tariffs on Mexico for the Mexican government allowing it.

Under Trump, i think he may shut down any travel from India due to Brics. At some point, Trump will force bric members to make a choice, continue to be resistant to US hegemony and face tariffs and sanctions, or accept US global dominance. Trump is not a president, he is a dictator disguised as a president and he has Republicans: as well as, liberal leadership around the world) intimidated.

You would figure someone would tell Tump what happened to William McKinley the 25th President of the United States when he imposed tariffs on the American people.

1- , 2 Colombian planes just arrived in the USA to take its deported citizens\n\n2- Venezuela doesn't allow deported Venezuelans from ANY country, NOT ONLY USA, a couple of S. American countries already tried\n\n3- If imported goods from Colombia become too expensive, then, that will benefit other countries like Ecuador and Peru that have the same type of goods that are imported from Colombia.. like coffee, flowers, tropical fruits, etc.\nAnd for those, like AOC, who think that they can't live without their Colombia coffee... well, they haven't tried Peruvian coffee, which is now considered among the best in the world \n\n4- The main reason why the Colombian government gave in to Trump's demands was not only bcz the tariffs but the fact that Trump threatened them with deporting and canceling all visas for all Colombian government members and their relatives........
