It’s reciprocal tariffs and they already have a 25% tariff on American goods. You can search this up

Trump doesn’t give a damn about the United States. And if you look back at what Steve Bannon said this is exactly what Heritage 25 wants they want chaos in the world so they can do what they need to do.

Trump has no idea of how to lead.\nHe has no economic plan put together by this adminstrstion on HOW to budget, devise C.R.s or negotiate with Congress regarding managing the economy of the US.\nTrump is a disgrace...not only for US, but all over the world, except to Russia.\nTrump needs to be impeached\nCongress needs to invoke the 25 amendment to save our nation from this tyranny he is imposing against our allies all over the world.

25% a friend

How do you feel about 25% tariffs imposed to your country, Prime Minister? Think about how other countries feel when Canada imposed tariffs on them?

If each side puts 25% tariffs, import/export wont necessarily fluctuate, but everything will get more expensive =TAX for ordinary peeps.

After leaching of US for so many decades they unite to tackle 25% tariff which is close to standard across rest of the world. Got to say canadian politician has mastered the art of LEACHING OFF US.

Donald Trump’s latest 25% tariff on Canada isn’t about America—it’s about himself. Now that he’s not begging for your votes, he’s unleashed: no accountability, no loyalty to the people, just pure greed. This is a blatant betrayal of public trust—a president exploiting power to pad his pockets while burning bridges with allies. Wake up, America!.

I’m wondering why friends get 25% tariffs and adversaries get 20%

Not only is trumps strategy short sighted, they are infarct very destructive. trump is an ego maniac, and his BS needs to be stopped. all he has done is jack the cost of everything 25%. Why is that being allowed to happen?.

And justin is lying 100 ????? trump said if they help and do a border fix they wouldnt be charged the 25 percent welp he didnt and now there getting 25 percent lol people are so dumb

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…

His tariffs are like throwing a pebble at an ocean. He is not tough and he isn't fooling anyone. Also, every tariff he puts on the US is gonna be matched and an additional 25 percent would be added on top. This is a dumb move.

25 Amendment Donald Trump isn't fit for office

here are some examples of tariffs Canada applied to U.S. goods prior to Trump's presidency:\n\nDairy Products:\nMilk: Approximately 270%\nCheese: Around 245%\nButter: About 298%\nPoultry and Eggs:\nChicken: Up to 238%\nEggs: Around 163%\nOther Agricultural Products:\nSausages: Approximately 69.9%\nBarley Seed: Around 57-57.8%\nIndustrial and Consumer Goods:\nSteel: Around 25%\nAluminum: Approximately 45%\nCopper: Around 48%\nCars: Approximately 25% (though this may vary depending on specific trade agreements)\nTVs: Around 45%\nHVAC Systems: Approximately 45%\nVacuums: Around 35%

So its okay for Canada to charge 270% on milk 298% on butter, 238% on chicken, 26% on beef, 25% on auto.

Dictator trump is really separated from reality. I bet world will see first time US execute amendment 25, which gives senate power to kick out president who obliesly cant do his job.

American goods account for 25% of Canada economy while theirs is only 5% for us Americans. We’ll be fine, AMERICA first no more handouts time to pay up.

So its okay for Canada to charge 270% on milk 298% on butter, 238% on chicken, 26% on beef, 25% on auto.

How about a 25% increase on the price of electricity that Canada supplies to the United States?

US doesn’t hit Canada with 25% tariffs. US hit US-importers with 25% tariffs that they will put on their American prices

For example, if whiskey costs $1,000 and a 25% tariff is imposed, the price would increase by $250, making the total cost $1,250. The burden of this tariff is usually passed along the supply chain, meaning American consumers will pay higher prices for those goods.

Canada is always causing problems for us Americans Canada is a serious national security threat to this country instead of 25 percent tariffs Trump should place 900 percent tariffs against Canada instead.

Actually…. You started it with VAT. You stop the 5% VAT(tariff), we stop the 25% tariff(VAT). Sounds fair to me…

We in the EU should stand by Canada and offer whatever support is necessary, including financial grants if needed. We should also match Canada by imposing our own 25% tariffs on the same goods and services, acting as a force multiplier. If the ‘Mango Mussolini’ refuses to listen to reason, he must feel the consequences of these actions. Hang in there, Canada! You are an incredible tough people and while your country is mentally prepared for this trade war, the US have not given it a single thought… they will be surprised and the madman will fold

100% tariffs on Tesla, 25% tariffs on all energy exports, open trade with the E.U., Asia. Time to isolate the U.S. internationally. FAFO

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

Oh no my syrup just went up 25%

Tariffs 25% higher are in place in The United States of America north and southern borders and the canadian prime minister's words are some of the consecuences. He doesn't want trade war ,he doesn't want anything against americans but all the people in government in the north, the center an in the south of the border , have to work for the best and rhe common interest in notrh America ,as Pam and Paula were saying.

As a European i FULLY support Canada against this economic bullying.\nI hope Trump not only puts 25% on us Europeans, but 100%!! Let's go. 2 can play this game.\nTo all my Canadian friends, you can be rest assured that i'll vote for politicians that want to work with Canadians, Mexicans AND Chinese!

New York, Michigan, and Minnesota to have a 25% export tax tax applied to their electricity and if Trump reciprocates on April 2nd, electricity to these 3 states will be shut off completely according to Premier Ford of Ontario as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

Aaron on Tic Tok, CANADA IS NOW Charging America ELECTRIC BILL 25% HIGHER ELECTRIC BILL. 47 MELINA AND IVANKA WILL PAY higher ELECTRIC BILL TO CANADA. TONIGHT 47 WILL SAY AMERICA LOOKING GREAT AGAIN. LOW INCOME STATES RED STATES ARE YELLING BS..FENT IS MADE IN ONE COUNTRY. CHINA CRICKETS. It comes Across there borders. STOP IT THERE.???.

2 hours ago — The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent on Monday after President Trump doubled down on plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico .\n2 days ago — More than 885,000 crypto wallets have lost money on trading $TRUMP, while 301,000 have lost money in betting on $MELANIA\nFeb 17, 2025 — Trump Media says it lost more than $400 million last year while revenue dropped 12%. \nNov 23, 2022 — Donald Trump reported nearly $1 billion in operating losses over a two-year period about a decade ago. . . . and the list goes on

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

Canadians will be paying 25% higher for AMERICAN PRODUCTS why you want this?

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n- Dairy Products:\n- Milk: 270%\n- Cheese: 245%\n- Butter: 298%\n- Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n- Barley: 160%\n- Wheat: 94%\n- Sugar: 265%\n- Peanut Butter: 295%\n- Rice: 150%\n- Vegetables: 100%\n- Fish Products: 100%\n- Lumber: 20%\n- Shoes: 30%\n- Cocoa: 30%\n- Metals: 25%\n- Wool: 30%\n- Tobacco: 100+%?

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a press conference Tuesday. \n \nSpeaking from Ottawa, Trudeau said there was “absolutely no justification or need whatsoever” for the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, which went into effect today. \n \nThe prime minister explained that $30 billion worth of US goods would see tariffs immediately, while the remaining $125 billion worth of goods would see tariffs in 21 days. \n \nTrudeau added that Canada will file claims at the World Trade Organization, but in the meantime, “our tariffs will remain in place until the US tariffs are withdrawn and not a moment sooner.” \n \nThe prime minister also again hit back against US assertions about Canada being unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. \n \nHe said the legal pretext Trump presented for the justification of the tariffs —“that Canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl” — is “totally false.”

Trump is right now making trade arrangements with Belarus and Russia for potash, while 25% tarrifs on Canadian potash that come from within a 100 miles of border. Coded annexation talk will be coming from Trump at that address tonight - threats designed for his base to put Canada in a bad light.

Yeah carney really saved us in 08 lol. yeah let's drop interest rate to .25 in a country where ppl only invests in real estate.

Do you think Tariffs at 25%+ against Canada is enough to pop the housing bubble in and throw its banking sector into chaos? Coupled with strategic hits to its largest investment grade corporations attempting to hit the rating agency metrics. Thus, squeezing their cash flow to topple them into junk status, again hammering Canadas bond market? This Dominoe effect would collapse the currency making Canada the 51st State, finally!

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.
