11,000,000 people in the US without permission. Too clear them out - trump'd need to depot 7K per days every day for all 4 years of this term. cause for sure trump will attempt to remain in power when this term expires. If you are not seeing 7K per day leaving the USA - then you are watching a PR stunt.

Trump has made it clear and \nhis hate of black and brown people ....

“Illegal’. Is the key word. It doesn’t matter what country you came from. As President Trump has made very clear, coming to this country illegally is illegal. Hence the word illegal. \nWe actually have A LAW against it. \nIt’s the same in other countries. I’ve been to Africa and I can guarantee you I would never have been able to stay there without the legal process that Africa requires.

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.

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 craziest thing is the despite Trump winning the election most Americans are anti-Trump and oppose his nonsense. But just like in 16’ everything will backfire on them, they clearly did not learn their lesson.

Thank you Trump for uniting us Canadians. Never been this proud to be one. We were there for the US during tough times and being betrayed as such. EU, embrace yourself, clearly trump has no regards to allies. This teaches all of us a lesson, we can not depend on the US for anything. Let’s see who’s gonna laugh till the end. Once we don’t depend on the US, see how much power they r gonna hold over us all. Stand up to that bully -Trump

Consequences? I think Canadians are suffering the consequences of failed leadership just as we have here in the US. With the election of Donald Trump it's perfectly clear that the policies have changed here in the US. I wouldn't be too worried about the future of either countries at this stage. I predict by this time next year there we still be lights in my home, gas in my car, food on my table, and love in my heart for my Canadian brothers and sisters to the north. Future looks Bright! :)

Its clear that TRUDEAU himself ( and what he represents) is the object of Trump's ire. When a new Conservative leader is installed then US relations will improve overnight.

Republicans nowhere to be seen, they want voters to be totally clear, Trump owns this and the consequences 100%

Canada has treated the US unfairly, and clearly, they could correct the situation very quickly, but they chose not to. Americans deserve the right to be protected. We’re taking our best interests first. Thank you, President Trump.

Go trump, we voted him in specifically to do these things. We call it the fafo age. So go ahead and jump mofo, and we see who is standing when the smoke clears.

typical trump... constantly going against any country that has good relations with the US. Clearly bribed to destroy the US

Let's be clear. Mexico and Canada are delusional Trump is going to destroy you. China better quit playing too. This country ain't weak and now that Trump is in office we aren't going to be bullied. It's time for everyone to snap out of the Barack Obama and Joe Biden spell and get back to reality. Trump is not playing. It's over.

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.

Why does Canada bother with Tariffs on US goods?\nCost and CO2 pressures demand that Canada review its costs situation with energy and oil into the USA.\nMany costs have risen and they need to be passed on in a per mega Watt and Mega Barrel basis.\nFurthermore. Canada must step up its electrical and oil supply system maintenance to include twice daily stoppages to US bound energy so that system safety and performance is controlled.\nNext.\nCanada has a clear obligation to the USA to prevent a Russia/EU dependency occurring. So further stoppages to service delivery require urgent implementation.\nDo not worry. Emperor Trump will not sue. The US Lawyers know now they will not be paid by Trump.

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.

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.

It's like a breath of fresh air having Trump in office. We don't need Trans in military. 1st off anyone who chops off sexual organs is clearly not mentally well.

I think this is exactly what Trump is aiming for. To send a clear message out to anyone who plan to enter the US illegally should be afraid. Why would anyone want to go to a country where they have to continue to hide and live in fear? Its a great deterrent for those who still plan to come to the US illegally. Its better than the previous administration telling illegal to come and we will feed, cloth, and take care of your with health care at the expense are tax payer money. Trump should also cancel all hand outs to anyone who is not a legal immigrant in the US. We have enough problem with US citizens as it is.

We all observe the end of America. I guess it is clear now why Putin rooted for Trump. No need for nukes, Trump will destroy America much more efficiently.

The Trump administration is deporting those illegal immigrants with criminal Records and conviction. Not illegal African immigrants. Please make the heading clear.

This is the deal! Trump is president and this is what hate and discontent looks like so there is nothing to be done. There are laws! And it is clear the people enforcing them are not doing their jobs right and wrong. When a law is broken it is ignored when a law should be enforced it is… nothing can be or will be done so turn and walk away.. is all

Thank you Cmdr. Shilling for speaking out. It makes clear how personally hurtful and destructive Trump's trans ban is, while doing nothing to enhance military preparedness.

Dude needs mental health specialist. He's clearly delusional. I'm glad Trump is doing this.

CNN is full of shit and clearly agaisnt trump -

Hello people hello world this is the Mississippi boy let me be very clear every black person minority person transgenders people that are in military they ought to resign just quit in the army armed forces whatever they are in position that they have taken in this country they do not need to work up under this administration to protect this country especially if you are black and minorities native Americans and other races here working and trying to protect this country they all should resign and quit and let Donald Trump send his family members and friends and these white privilege white supremacist people to war and let them defend this country not us as poor People's and these people don't care nothing about us but we will go out here and lose our life for protecting these white supremacist here in this country it's time to wake up America it's time to wake up people

Donald trump and his campaign already made this clear... He's not for they/them or w/e the individual identify. That's kamala. Any form of wokeism is bot for this admin and america majority voted for it

This was 5 months ago and Trump has only been back in office for what a week and i can tell you the QT I go to in the morning is officially cleared amazing.

Should've hit Columbia with 100% tariffs! All these Latin American countries thought they were being cute by emptying out their prisons & mental institutions! They should've thought that 1 through a bit more! The message is clear, Don't F with POTUS Donald J. Trump!

the best step by Trump,,,clear illigal immigrants,,, save billion $, safety,, social Security?

Colombia’s request is reasonable and fair, I don’t understand why the Trump administration would retaliate. They clearly haven’t coordinated with their Colombians counterparts and things fell apart. Why does the world have to suffer because of the whims of one person?

Have you no more shame or pride as journalists??? The Columbian President caved in less than an hour, rendering your entire anti-Trump narrative irrelevant and clearly biased. This is not news, it's censorship and propaganda ?‍♂️

I STRONGLY ADVISE CNN to replace the word TRUMP with the word USA to make it clear that all the chaos and ill will being generated is squarely the responsibility of the country ... United States of America which so blindly and misguidedly elected a bully / fascist/racist/ sexist/narcissist/ corrupt/ convicted felon as its President .... \nCNN, I strongly advise you NOT to glorify TRUMP by mentioning his name a million times on your news.... BLACK OUT his name ..... just replace the word TRUMP with the word USA. \nHope you understand how critical this is....\nplease avoid feeding Trump's hunger for attention......

For a USA president to have caused some much chaos in such a very short period of time clearly shows Trump as totally irresponsible and unhinged and demonstrates that he maybe not in full control of his mental faculties.

Your fault Trump for not clearing all flights first. Just because you ordered it in America, does not mean other Countries are going to bow down to your wishes.... your Vendictive like a child... you don't care for others....

Trump must understand that he s not the only dude with balls....clear???

“”Criminals trump calls them!!! Maybee some but mothers with kids that are to poor to feed there children are deported criminals in trumps and his billionaire friends minds!!!!! Trumps way or highway forget what’s written in the American constitution!!!! It’s all clear sailing for trump his space crazed friend \nElon can pay off any judicial system judge trump needs!!!!! Make trump great again!!!!!!!\nThis is a no win tariff stand off for any country including the USA!!!! Prices will rise in every country!!!!!

Haha when Columbia moves to the south eastern bricks economic union don't be surprised.....Trump is clearly a Russian spy.

Clearly president Trump listens to no one terrorists are paid by the Importer not the country

What makes Trump the most transactional scumbag of all the presidents of the USA in history, is his pettiness. It is clear that Orange Jesus trwats entire nations the same as contestants in a dystopian version of The Apprentice. One of the many ironies is that his use of tariffs dooms Americans to paying ever increasing costs for everything they need or want. Just think of bananas which are one of the least costly fruits that poorer families may be able to afford and can be consumed by infants to the elderly with some kind of nutritional value. Thanks to the Gutless Orange Fool, even bananas are more expensive. But don't worry, the top 10% of Americans have 60% of all wealth so, they can have all the bananas they desire!

Yes, people need to talk about the fact that Trump is not allowing anymore visas into the country at all. That's gonna be seen as extremely racist and clearly an attempt at not having anymore South Americans in the country with the exception of those here and they have families elsewhere and that will force them to leave. No more workers, no more imports for cheap ever again. It's only for the rich and most of his supporters are clearly not rich. Horrible choice this country has made and fatal mistake that will cost Americans more money. That's called Karma indeed.

MR. RUBIO NEEDS TO TALK TO US \n((THE PEOPLE))\nCOME TO HAVE LUNCH WITH US?\nTHE POEOLE WE NEED YOU TO TELL EL SSAVADOR GOVERMENT THEY NEED TO A TOP THE STEALING OUR TAXES A ND START SHOWING ACCOUNTS WITH ALL THE EXPENCES AND SHOW ALL US WHAT THE $$$ IS BEING SPEND ON. THEY WONT STOP STEALING IF PTE. TRUMP DONT ASK FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLEAR KNOWLEDGE OF EVERYTHING SPENDED HERE.?????

WTF over . tRump is a clear & present danger to our security . Impeach the senile , racist , narcissist, traitor ! Hes going to bringbour country down if we dont stop him Now ! ??????

At one time no South American country would have dared defy a US president and risk invasion and regime change, now they all openly defy Trump with abandon since the rise of BRICS. Colombia has applied to join BRICS and these retaliatory tariffs will simply speed that up. Colombia stated quite clearly - we will not accept undocumented migrants who have done nothing wrong but work, pay their tax and behave as excellent members of US society - basically Trump try somewhere else to dump your unwanted workers. Americans' favourite Colombian coffees have just become 25% more expensive, millions of cups of Colombian coffee is drunk the US every week. \n\nTrump’s ridiculous comment about Jordan, Egypt and other Gulf countries taking Palestinians whilst Gaza is rebuilt is equally stupid; those countries cannot accept forcibly expelled, ethnically cleansed Gazans because that would be a War Crime and render those countries liable to be accused of complicity in a War Crime by the International Court of Justice; they would also incur the wrath of their respective populations and put their governments at risk of being overthrown. \n\nAll the surrounding countries and the International Community needs to do is to flood Gaza with thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and millions of large family-sized tents, as well as mobile toilets and washing facilities. Supply bulldozers and rubble removing machinery to clean the land up as quickly as possible, as well as bomb detection kits to protect the children. The Gazan people are incredibly resilient and will happily live in tents whilst their country is being rebuilt around them, and the State of Palestine begins to emerge again. \n??

tRump clearly doesn’t understand what a tariff is and how it works.

Trump is a clear and present danger. Coup d'tat tobdepose this pos and his fucking minions.

Trump's immigration crackdown is colliding with reality and clearly making him look as idiotic as he is.\n\nDoes Trump honestly expect OTHER nations to just do whatever he wants and play his moronic games?

The Columbia President has already backed down wow just shows the clear difference in leadership wow Trump way better than Biden

Clearly Trump saw this coming, as he’s sending troops in. I have to believe that the people coming to the border now already know they won’t be eligible for immigration. The only thing that will occur is that people will get hurt. Biden encouraged this for four years.

Trump asked that we seal our borders and do something about fentanyl. How did Canadian politicians respond! Like chickens with their heads cut off, throwing around our idea of tariffs. Trump was clear. I have no idea why they had to take it to this level in Canada.
