Walmart is already raising its prices.. His tariffs have completely destroyed our trade with Mexico they are going to trade with china now smh and Trumpers runnin round youtube like they won something,.. Pathetic!!

2 days later : Mexican president to stop immigration to USA . Just talking tariffs works. lmao

Canada n mexico just launch the tariff too on the day he take his oath

The basic lesson from the Economy. How did China become rich and have high technology? Thanks to cheap labor, American capital, and factories, we built in China...Thanks to Chinese capital and technology Mexico will be one of the biggest producers of electric vehicles..They don't need the American market. This planet has 9 billion potential customers...The right thing to do was not to put tariffs but to open an EV factory in the USA using Chinese technology and money and everybody would benefit except Elon Musk and gas and oil corporations ..BYD or NIO better than Tesla costs about 25,000$ only... Tesla sells batteries for EVs for 26 000$...The same battery made in China costs 7.000$ because China has its own lithium. We should say goodbye to Elon Musk batteries and import batteries from China or make a lithium deal with Bolivia as China did. We would have American EVs better than Tesla for just 25.000-30.000$.\nCustomers are paying tariffs and this money goes to the government...Adding tariffs on most of foreign products is the faster way to create the Great Depression as Herberr Hover did in 1930 when he added Tariffs on 2000 imported products

Trump slapped tariff on China and said China was the one who would pay, the same as he would built wall and Mexico would pay. What's more bizarre is that Americans trusted him

Putting tariffs on Mexico and other latinmerican countries will put more business on bankruptcy and create a biger immigration problems becouse that's what it's been opening for the last 40 years the economic sanctions and wars crated huge waves of imigrants to the USA thats the rot of the problem.

Who benefits the most from flooding social media with fake Americans complaining about tariffs??? Hmmmmmmmm. Pssssst. BEWARE of FAKE Americans.

Trump didn't make mistake on imposing high tariff on some countries because Americans are big consumers of those countries products in high quantity and they too knows that Trump is right and the fact is they prefer US as their main costumer.

FIRST i want to point out that MEXICO has a woman president and the US has a convicted felon rather than a woman (x 2)\n\nAlso, anyone who has taken finance or economy classes KNOWS that tariffs are going to negatively impact the everyday Joe and everyday Jane (the working poor aka the middle class) of the United States because it will INCREASE the costs of imported goods for US not the other country!!\n\n???

Mexico can’t survive a tariff war. Her bosses (the Cartels) will need to give her a longer arm to work with Trump. There’s no way around it.

If USA imposes a tariff on mexican imports, Mexico should expell all DEA agents immediately and ban extradition

Let him put tariffs ? I live in the USA and I will have to foot the bill but nothing, absolutely NOTHING, will be more satisfying than to see Trumpsters pay more for taxes and groceries ????? ????? madam President Sheinbaum has the balls Trump hasn’t ?

The key difference is that America's economy can withstand tariffs, while Mexico's economy would crumble faster than a saltine cracker.

Most of the vegetables and fruit imported by the US come from Mexico.\nA 25% tariff on Mexico should be good for junk-food companies like Trump's favourite - McDonalds - because Americans won't be able to afford fresh food any more.

The mexican rpesident conceded in the letter that immigration an issue and she implemented a plan to help slow it down. Cnn is such fake news. Lol\nShe also later said there wont be a tariff war. But we need to lie to make lunatic lefties feel like they were right, even though all the facts they wont read prove them wrong. Lol pathetic.

Trump is bluffing he is not going to do tariffs it’s only to make the Biden economic system to fall so when he gets in he looks better.But we all know that he is just an

Tariff wars with Canada and Mexico is going to make thing's go way up in prices. So get ready!!!

Tariffs would collapse Mexico's economy. Watch Trump slap 100% across the board on Mexico. The peso would drop like a rock. No one would buy ANYTHING from Mexico. American companies IN Mexico would leave Mexico due to the fact Trump is dropping regulations which killed their businesses under the democrats so they would return. Also ending the reliance on foreign oil will drop the prices for consumers even more so American made products would be cheaper and better made again. Most of the industry is automated as well but American jobs would return so China and Mexico who work together would be kicking rocks. Trump is winning and he isn't even in office yet ?

So Mexico & other countries like China can/have impose massive tariffs on the U.S. but we're not allowed to do the same?

These Indians have no valid claim for asylum. Trudeau, do your job or face 25% tariffs! The US does not accept economic migrants.

The slogan “Make America Great Again” is very nostalgic, but times are different. If the US imposes these tariffs, it will be to the benefit of China. When American products were undoubtedly superior to the rest of the world, imposing tariffs did not work in the 1970s. Today, it would become less competitive, there is very strong international competition and Chinese products would benefit. To make America great again, we must look to the future, not the past.

Trump wants to abuse his Tariffs, $ 100. For every tourist who wants to enter Mexico.

Make enemies on our borders thru tariffs on Mexico and Canada. They respond by turning to China and Russia both of whom will give those countries sweetheart deals and make them allies. Meanwhile our prices rise and only minimum wage jobs become available to American citizens. Now I see how Trump could bankrupt six casinos. His brains are stuck.

Americans don't want to pay higher prices for anything. And corporations don't want to pay $15 when they can pay $2 to a worker overseas. Manufacturing is not coming back the the US no matter the tariffs Trump imposes. America has to concentrate on the manufacturing that we lead which is High Technologies, Fuel, and Agriculture. Trump wants to destroy the Department of Education when what we should be doing is making education a priority, even in higher education. Making it easier and less expensive for Americans to get higher education. Trump's policies are going to completely destroy the world economy and in doing so cause a massive recession in the US.

Not tariffs on avocadoes from Mexico ?

why is she talking hear mexican presidents response to trump's tariff threat

Go ahead and put 25% tariff.??? americans are crying about inflation now.? You will def find out soon how your savings will be gone. I have bn to mexico this year and I can tell you that mexico will become a lot better.\nCheaper food, financial assistance to elders, better economy, better pay and cheap living. NOT IN THE U.S.

Does this mean that there will now be tariffs on the Rump bibles?

I just don't get it - if Mexico wants to avoid the tariff, then just deploy all the soldiers you've got to the northern border - it's not that you have some hostile neighbors, except the cartels inside your territory, what's the use for the military you've got, other than avoiding tariff?

HOPE THERE IS NO TARIFFS ON DRUGS BECAUSE THAT IS GOING TO HURT THE US POPULATIONS ECONOMY, GOD HAVE MERCY

TARIFFS ARE BETTER FOR AMERICA AND I WILL DEBATE ANYONE ANYWHERE ABOUT THE ISSUE.

TARIFFS ARE GOOD FOR THE AMERICAN WORKERS!!! THEY ARE BAD FOR THE DEEP STATE AND THE GLOBALISTS THAT HATE THE AMERICAN WORKER. THANK YOU DONALD J. TRUMP FOR REPRESENTING US THE AMERICAN WORKER...

TRUMP HAS AN AGENDA, FUCK THE COUNTRY OVER,HE HAS TO BLAME IMMAGRINTS, THE TARIFFS, WE WILL ALL SUFFER FOR THE STUPIDITY OF TRUMP. HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE COUNTRY,WE THE PEOPLE WILL PAY, MAGA WILL ALSO PAY, THAT'S THEIR OLD MAN THAT THEY VOTED FOR, WELCOME TOTRUMPS HELL WERE ALL GOING TO PAY, FOR THE STUPIDITY OF MAGA VOTERS, FULL OF VENOM AND POISON RACE HATERS. THE DEMON IN THE WHITE HOUSE 666.THIS WILL BE HELL????????????

Lets be clear: American importers pay the tariffs and Pass The\nCost into the American taxpayers through higher prices. (Does this sound anti-inflationary, MAGA & other 2024 Trump voters??).\nAnd what are Trumps olans for this windfall of cash?: reduce the deficit? Universal healthcare? Stabilize the social\nSecurity trust fund?\nOf course not, that huge oile of working Americans-cash will be given to the rich in the form of anhuge tax cut; both corporate and individuals.\n\nCongratulations\nMAGA & Trump voters !!!

Tariffs against your biggest trading partners...

The Mexican President schools Donald Trump on the issue of imposing tariffs to solve complex problems.

They're going to make groceries cheaper by enacting tariffs and deporting everyone that harvests our crops for low wages - and processes our meats -- those in favor of that should go do those jobs. IF politicians really cared about illegal immigration they'd aggressively investigate and prosecute those that hire them ... IF they didn't know the economy needs that work force ... and IF they didn't love cheap labor more than their children ...

The rest of the world should trade with each excluding America till the raising tariff threat is abolished

This didnt age well? it worked and now there will be no tariffs because she will do what is asked and protect the border.

all this is a tit for tat Mexico will implement tariffs on the USA as well just like all the other countries, we have a criminal like Al Capone running this country except he has more power

AHHHH, now it all makes sense, if you are LOYAL to TRump and his agenda of hate you may avoid paying the tariffs. So, this is how this dictator is going to sway companies to kiss his ring and bend to his whims. I guess it is all about loyalty and doing the biding of this new American dictator. A huge step in his total take over of America.

Trump loves tariffs because the money goes to the federal gov't.

About 15% of US exports are sold to Mexico; however, about 78% of Mexico’s exports are sold to the US. It is entirely ridiculous for the Mexican president to behave like she could use tariffs to blow for blow with the US.

The tariffs would cause the prices of the products to be more expensive within the United States, not in Mexico.

A tariff from Mexico to the US, will skyrocket the price of millions of products such as tomatoes, avocados, strawberries, onions, garlic, ginger, bananas, pineapples, mushrooms, potatoes, and more fruits, vegetables, tortillas, and more products that are products from Mexico. Those tariffs guess who’s going to end up paying for that? Of course us. I voted for Trump but that would be such a stupid movement from Trump’s administration. Why can’t we spend more money to protect our borders instead of financing Israel’s and other countries’ wars at the expense of us American taxpayers?

North and south tariffs and the middle can just bend over

MEXICO AND CANADA ARE WELCOMMED TO TRADE WITH 750 000 000 EUROPEANS! \n\nWE 750 000 000 EUROPEANS HAVE NO TARIFFS! \n\nWE 750 000 000 EUROPEANS WILL BOYCOTT TRUMPS USA!

They said Trump believe that China, Canada and Mexico will definitely pay for tariffs but it will be the American people that see the price hike on everything

100% tariff on tacos ???

As an American, I would love to see A 50% tariffs. We need to bring back manufacturing in this country.
