DEPORTATION NOW! NEWFOUNDLAND now re increase student allocation.. Just shows once these liberals are in they will reverse everything BACK. Never trust liberals

Canada should not respond with tariffs. That will just increase prices for Canadians. They should look for other markets.\nTrump promised to lower prices. This is a direct move to increase them! Trump and his millionaires won't be hurt by this. Only the millions of regular people that voted for him will suffer. This is a perfect example of how politicians go to war and the citizens pay with their blood. ?

Increased cost of living in all countries involved. That's what global oligarchy wants.

Canada and Mexico needs to coordinate tariffs to US products to increase their impact.

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

It would be great if they have less children so it would increase the quality of living for the poor kids. Too many children and not enough food, clothers, education and so on.

Why don't you report the increase in murders and rapes in your own country by immigrants.

It's a tax increase so why aren't you calling it higher taxes? The media are so shady at not being direct with the people.\n\n25% increase in import tax that the importer pays to the tariff increasing government. It's a 25% increase in government taxes

Canada gives oil to us 20% lower price. Increase it to normal price, plus 25%.

This is going to hurt All Canadians and will extremely hurt Mexico. \nIt's only going to hurt yearly profits of 1% of Americans and those with CanAm's and anything Bombardier or Rotax. The automotive industry will just come back and have to eat the margin losses until they recoup. They still have plants here, they just have to bring everything back, rehab the buildings and start hiring and training folks.\nChina is the problem because they make everything and ship a lot of goods into this country... \nWe joyfully took our major manufacturing there instead of keeping it all here and becoming an industrial complex like they did as perfect capitalistic communists ...\nOh, but I forgot, regulations, mandates and emissions drove away most of our industry along with greed to increase margins. Until those regulations, mandates and emissions standards are changed, there's going to be a major manufacturing concern in this country.

As an American I feel bad for Canada and Mexico... Prices will increase in the US, but people dont realize the US is the least dependent on trade of any country in the world. Trade makes up 17% of American GDP.

People who do not know how the customs duty system works think that the customs duty is paid by the country where the goods are imported, but this is not true. The importer company pays the customs duty in the country that imports. The importer company collects the tax it pays from the people of that country by adding it to the price of the goods it sells in that country. Therefore, a 25% customs duty will cause the price of the products sold in the United States to increase. The increase in product prices will also cause inflation to increase. Inflation will cause the purchasing power of people in the United States to decrease.

US under Trump increasingly look like Russia… aggression against smaller neighbors and claims that they are not real countries.

Everyday living costs will increase for the average American. Where are the New jobs trump promised??? You get what you voted for ?

What about all of the guns that are flowing into Mexico from the US? I think until that is addressed Mexico should impose increasing tariffs on the United States

Isnt this a great idea? We export almost all our oil to be refined in the USA and sold back to us as finished products. Thats a 1.56x increase

this comment section increases brain rot.

Australia is more then happy to increase cooperation with Canada and Mexico ?

Canada should increase the barrel ?️ price for oil sold to USA

US tariffs n reverse tariffs on US by other nations will increase inflation globally

He should have increased the tarrifs to 50% or 100% straight up.

Kick Trump in the foot buy increasing trade with China. Bring in Chinese EVs and Tarrif Tesla.

US Should increase tarrif to 100% as its very unfair for US

I hope Trump increases the tariffs to 100%.

Trump will increase the tariffs and add another 25 percent. What will Canada do then?

Justin T is a puppet. Mostly of Canadians cannot wait for him to go.\nPresident Trump should increase the tariff. \nThey are not the only country who has rich resources.

There are so many countries that are willing to trade with the US and will replace Canada and Mexico.Why do you think Trump didnt put tariffs on Europe straight away?\nThe small European countries are the winners and their trade with the USA will increase dramatically. And the products will still be chealer than those from Canada.

Red China has 13% vat now.\n\nThere are looking at top line income tax reduction from 45% to 30% to increase numbers of middle class household. That should increase tax payment compliancce too.\n\n?❤

Good for Canada to docking it to us like Trump did it go them. Actually Canada should have increased their tariffs to 50%.

I am a citizen of both Canada and the EU. I hope Canada will soon consider strengthening its economic relationships with the EU, especially as the southern neighbour becomes increasingly aggressive and unpredictable.

All military helps to canada must be withdrawn,canada for many years like a worm ? eating American tax payers money for free,increase nato spends to 5% other wise resign from nato by paying old dues,

America should increase tariff again and make it 50%.

Hi Dw a leftist woke Channel in germany is talking nonsense again... Canada was warned not to retaliate.. Now it will face higher tarrifs.. Trump wants to increase manufacturing at home..

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

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.

Both Mexico and Canada have fallen into Trumps trap, if you do not see it, let me explain. Trump has been pushing for more manufacturing at home, for more oil drilling and for more rare minerals mining. He can impose those tariffs and either Canada and Mexico agree, or the do exactly what they just did, think they can win a economic war with the United States. See, Trump gets what he wants either way, they don't cooperate, Trump gives huge tax incentives to companies to start producing here in the U.S. which will in turn reduce the price of everything for Americans, see, if you produce it here instead of overseas, Canada or Mexico, we can pish for a huge increase in overall production reducing the costs to consumers, since the products no longer have to be imported. Like i said, sometimes i don't think the left has any brains left.

US-Canada Trade Balance\nThe US has a trade deficit with Canada. In 2024, the US imported $377.24 billion worth of goods from Canada, while exporting $322.24 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $54.99 billion.\n\nUS-Mexico Trade Balance\nSimilarly, the US also has a trade deficit with Mexico. In 2024, the US imported $412.34 billion worth of goods from Mexico, while exporting $346.78 billion worth of goods. This resulted in a trade deficit of $65.56 billion.\n\nExpect those figures to increase by about 25% in the next year or so.

Enjoy the 25% payment increase mfs?

The crux of the matter is that both countries are running huge federal deficits and needed an avenue to increase taxes in it's citizens. The politicians of both nations pulled a fast one on their citizens who now will pay paying more taxes in the form of higher prices on everything.

Canada should increase tarifs on oil and energy exported to the USA. With 25%. That would really hurt the bully.

Just think of all the economic interconnections that are at risk of being broken. Years of supply chain organization and logistics in jeopardy. The federal leadership is getting increasingly erratic. The automotive industry alone is so integrated. Biden and Trump have both been awful. What is the endgame? Recession. Buy sovereign bonds. Stop buying stuff.

Trump will increase it to 50% then. Canada will go down faster than ever

Trump promises to increase the tariffs if there’s retaliation. This will be fun to watch.

Trump has already admitted: Tariffs do raise the US Cost of Living and that they are paid by US Consumers (including MAGA Consumers) NOT by the foreign country. He originally imposes a 25% Trump Tariff on Canada but only 10% on its oil and gad exports to the US. WHY?! Because he knows Tariffs will increase the Cost of oil imported to the US and therefore gas prices, and increase the Cost of Living to MAGA Consumers and decrease his political support. Trump is a grifter, so anything he proclaims is likely 10% truth and 90% Lies. Watch what he does and not what he says!

In the end US consumer are the one hit hard with price increase all this because of their president insist to implement high tariffs.

Canadian here. It is time for Canada to reduce dependency on US, and increase trades with other countries and patterns. Do not be acting as an USA's puppet anymore. We are not inferior to Americans.

Now trump will increase the tariff to 50%.

American here, I hope this doesn't come to military conflict. Wait, does Canada have a military? Asking for someone who doesn't understand a free ride. Any temporary price increase will benefit the American worker in the long run. We can hold our breath under water longer than you can until you become reasonable.

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

For a start I'm thinking of all that farmland in CA that will have water and a good reason to grow crops now because of Trump and the increase of jobs when we have to make our own stuff.\n However, I am in favor of letting Canada sell their goods in China or Russia since that is likely where all the fentanyl and illegal immigrants are coming from and I know 1% doesn't sound big when DW says it but with an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in America from the Biden admin alone that would be 150,000 from Canada.
