US products are overpriced. They invested billions in chatgpt and Chinese app deepseek took few millions to make the compatible app . Fooling US investors

Trump has already added 750 Billion dollars to the National Debt and he's only been President for 2 weeks now.\nTrump added 8 Trillion dollars to the National debt during his 4 years in office 2016- 2020....He didn't spend money on healthcare, education, infrastructure a minimum living wage....Where did all that money disappear to?.....Hint ..Elone Musk got 800 million dollars..

hahah. 25% on $1 billion in goods exported to canada, while 25% on %539 billion exported to the US. what a joke Canada is. It would be like telling Bill Gates he is getting a ticket for $1,000 for a parking violation. pointless and no effect. As for Mexico, they export to the US nearly 2x what they import from us, so they are still on the losing side. Just co-operate, simple. Borders should have been closed and monitored by all 3 countries in a co-ordinated effort to help all 3 countries.

Trudeau, you are an idoit, it already has a 200 billion consequence on us.

Trudeau said they have plans to do 1 billion dollars but over 6 years... and basically zero spending now. So realistically they completely ignored Trump lol.

Canada is taking 200 billion from America; Trump says you can't do that anymore, and Canada wants to keep taking from us; they don't even want to renegotiate with new and more fair contracts; you got my support, Trump. Why do all these countries think they can keep stealing from us

Let the conversation regarding the American trade deficit with Canada of $41 billion (USD in 2023) begin.

I don't get it. Canada has been stealing from US tax payers for decades under the 1 sides trade agreements..like for 100s of billions? You bitchin about a 25% tariff? Cry me river. Our President is not a DEI hire like those before . ?cheers!!

With reciprocal tariffs of 25%, the US is the winner, having a trade deficit of about 55 billion dollars in 2024 with Canada. That is, exports of Canadian products to the US are significantly higher than imports of US products to Canada.

There’s nothing Canada can do when they have a surplus of 150 billion with US so if US put terrace at 25% and can put Terrace at 25% then Trump put it at 100 who’s gonna feel the pinch everything that has American they have gas they have wood they have all the minerals of Canada has they don’t need Canada for anything. And you think that I’m proud of American. I’m actually Canadian but I’m a realist needs America America doesn’t need Canada.

Trump is a bully. He demanded 500 billion dollars from Saudi so they give 600 billions . Did that stop him . Noooo… He is asking now for a trillion! Other countries paid attention !

It never ceases to amaze me how anybody actually Adores this 1 mortal[DT]above all 8 billion others...\nAnd how few of us Abores this 1 personage[DT], for whom he is causing to become upon everybody.\n~ All that DT promises Us, USA Citizens, are always & [nmt] Silver & Gold spray-painted\n{ Pure Paraffin Platters } of lies, grifts & our daily doses of disaster. LORD, Help Us All, ... PLEAse!?\n????????????

Typical Americans and Trump. Sign a free trade agreement and then when you feel like it just violate it for your own interest. They only play by their own rules. If Canada violated the agreement they would all over it. A while back they tried to nail Canada with 4 billion in softwood lumber tariffs in that they claimed Canada violated the free trade agreement, which they did not. The arbitrary trade council which oversees both countries ordered the USA to pay back Canada the 4 billion. The USA never did. Trump claims Canada treats them unfairly yet they are the ones who violate the agreements. They are the poor trading partner. Canada should trim the exports to the USA significantly and find alternatives. Just cut out the corrupt Americans led by a convicted criminal.

US tariff 25% for everything except 10% for energy. Canada only tariff about 150 B among 800 billion us import. Is this a huge retaliation.

Let’s see ? the US doesn’t need your milk, cheese, oil, lumber, cars really which is up to US manufacturers to open manufacturing in Detroit again…..maple syrup yes but I think we can get that somewhere else in the US too.\n\nCanada depends on the US for 75% of its gross GDP. It also costs the US $200 billion a year to continue trading with Canada. Will see who blinks.\n\nMX, good luck. Will see how many months before we hear a large Ugh..

All of these countries need us far more than than we need them. They will cave very rapidly. Trump can also tax remittances which would pull 60 billion from the Mexican economy.

Canada, Mexico and China have taken advantage of the US by sending $Billions more into the US than the US sent to them. Not fair for them to treat the US in this way. The US wants FAIR trade where both sides send the same amount to each other.

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.

$450 billion on Canadian goods vs $135 billion on US goods.. Canada will fold like a cheap suit.. make the border secure Canada.. and you wont have this

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.

If the US has a trade deficit with Canada of 200 billion, America has nothing to lose if it completely shuts down trade all together, the alternative is for Canada to set up shop in America.

Canadian here while I support what the PM is doing, I don’t think a tit for tat solution is enough. Canada needs to look for other trading partners like China. Let’s have a free trade agreement with them and rip up USMCA. That’ll fix the trade deficit overnight. Similar thing for military we can save the Pentagon billions by leaving NORAD and NATO and building a strategic joint defence agreement with China.

Let's remove the GST to upset the costs for consumers since the government are collecting billions dollars from Tariffs. Otherwise, you're not together with us. You the government collecting the Tariffs, we are paying a higher price, how can this mean we are together?

Half of Canada’s military equipment is unserviceable and not combat ready. Think about that. They are 20 billion dollars short on their military spending, are one of 8 NATO countries that have missed their required 2% GDP spending on defense, and have no plan to achieve their responsibilities to defend themselves and their alliance. What are they thinking poking the USA? That might co e back to haunt you when you need them.

According to google Canada's experts to Usa were 590billion dollars in 2023 and president trump put a %25 tariff for all of it excluding energy.\nNow Canada responded with 30 billion tariff with same rate things such as florida orange juice, tennessee whiskey ... and planning to put another 120billion worth of goods of Usa don't lift the tariffs in 21 days. In any way from these numbers, it looks like Usa is going to rip off canada a lot.\n\nReal response should have been %25 tariff to all usa goods without exception until they lift their tariffs!

so you're okay with sending 100+ billion to ukraine, but not 25% on avocados?

The US Imports billions more than it exports. Tariffs are on the goods imported. The importer pays the tariff NOT the country.

The 1.6 billion dollars Trudeau said he “pledged” to border security is to be spread out over 6 years! Which basically at this point none of it has beeen spent. It is a laughable amount to try to appease trumps request and trump is smart enough to read the fine print in the border security bill o know that Trudeau isn’t taking border security seriously.

Llet's remember that the US GDP is 30.34 trillion dollars. Canada is only 2.33 trillion. Just one of the fifty States, California, has a GDP of over 4 trillion, almost twice as much as Canada. The total amount imported from Canada to the US per year is about 450 billion US dollars of goods. The US has the advantage by far in staying power here. Plus, Canada's leadership is on uncertain grounds, and Trump has a unified constituancy. He won all the swing States after all. I for one hope it all works out, but it's going to be Canada that will throw in the towel.

436 billion in exports to the US verses 150 billion to Canada. This is not going to hurt America but will crush Canada.

Costs America about 30 billion, they stand to make over 100 billion from Canada in tarrifs.America is still better off and will gain more industry and employment.

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.

Mind boggling to me that there are Americans defending this crap. Seeing as how I'm from a city that's been severely affected by the Venezuelan crisis I'm glad to see them go. I don't care where just as long as it's not here and especially not on my dime since they've done nothing more than mooch off of us Chicago taxpayers at the the of 1 Billion dollars over the last several years. Whatever their plan was inviting these people here, giving them free housing free food etc ended up backfiring which is why Chicago has groups called Black people for Trump and Latinos for Trump. What's kind of funny is they did it to themselves.

We need to put a large tax on wire transfers of money out of the country. Billions flow out every year from illegals working here. The tax is paid at point of transfer, or it will never be collected.

President Donald Trump has stated that he will improve the United States economy with massive deportation of undocumented migrants\n, layoffs of government workers , deep cuts in social security benefits for disabled citizens or the elderly , and reduction of medicaid . \n However , a significant number of Americans are unaware that Trump is also planning to reduce the taxes for the rich , and give billions of more money to Israel or engage in unwinnable wars in West Asia . It should also be noted that Trump's theories to make America great again will have a disastrous effect on the economy or on life in the United States, especially because he is also about to start a trade war by significantly increasing tarrifs or duties on imported goods and products from China, Canada and Mexico \nAs a result, the Trump plan for the next four years may simply make America poor again.

Trump should fix the problems with the United States economy, such as inflation, tighter credit , homelessness, unemployment , military spending ,wars in West Asia and the repairs of bridges or roads without falsely scape goating undocumented \n immigrants . Undocumented immigrants or asylum seekers are paying billions of dollars each year in taxes. In spite of their undocumented or current status, these immigrants—and their family members—are adding value to the U.S. economy, not only as taxpayers, but as workers, consumers, and entrepreneurs as well. Furthermore, we should not falsely accuse aslylum seekers or undocumented immigrants for the illegal drug problem or increase of crime .This evil rhetoric or fairy tale narrative with the odor of mendacity is anti social , divisive and needs to stop .

If you have watched for the past 4 years this is how they did it. They let all the thugs and military style men and the prisoners from other country's in . Not to many family's came usual singles in groups dragging children through the gap.few women they rated and tortured the girls and little boys. Now these people are coming in massive amounts. 1 million was on back log already approved just had to get an appointment date. It was cut off from these ppl and they are mad because they gave up or sold everything based on Joe Biden And Kamala lies and treason selling out our country to the UN. The UN gave these ppl thousands to come .single men were told they were going to be soldiers when they got here. But UN stop reloading their visa cards with so much money. It gives on and on. Trust they will continue to take over. American best wake up and stop letting the communist Marxist Democrat devide us. Jeffries said today they will take the fight to the street. AOCdid too last week in a post on X. Do you think any of those rich democrats going to help.DjT gave 24 million to help hurricane victims on the coast. Nancy P has 300million do you think she would give 25.million to Cali. Heck no. Her and Newsom ripped billions off. Only Jesus Christ ?.

Because greed, power and money has made Venezuelan try to escape want America has done to their country. They’re over 500 American companies. America pays. $325 billion for oil products. Americans have invaded that country for profit. They just showed you what happens with power, greed, and money as their weapons!. As Americans, we must Unite as 1! Drop, your weapons of hate and ban together to take control of the dynamics that we live in! Or we can become and will spiral as next third world country!\n\n9.3 million Venezuelans are moderately to severely food insecure – one-third of the population. According to the United Nations, 7 million Venezuelans urgently need humanitarian assistance. More than 5.4 million Venezuelans have fled the country.

I think if a billion Canadians moved to India and started taking jobs, buying all the homes, not respecting their culture, and taking political positions they would be upset too

More of Trump's bullsh+t and lies. 1. There are no facilities to house 30,000 people. 2. It would take 4 to 6 years to build the facility and cost between $5.5 to $20 billion. In other words, more hot air to play to his base with no hope of ever making it happen.

Send Selena to help them. She is worth over $1 Billion!!

Don't be daft. In 2024, over $180 BILLION was given to Ukraine. In 2025, Ukraine will receive ZERO aid and that money of $180,000,000,000 will more than suffice to build a forever prison for Illegal Aliens, who invaded the US to get free housing, free food, free care. Well, they will get what they came for.

Who is paying for this? How much is this going to cost?\nIt cost the American tax payer to accommodate illegals in the USA, $150 billion over one year, that doe not include the cost of law enforcement and court system dealing with the ones that committed additional crime in the USA.\nWhen they are off US soil, Americans will not get victimised by these that commit crime on US streets.

Trump Don’t punish Americans for the illegal stealing all the money , shelter and Resources HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE , cutting of ebt / food stamps ….BEFORE GETTING ALL THE ILLEGALS OUT , all these illegals are still LAYING IN SHELTER BEDS AND GETTING FOOD STAMPS, why single American mothers and kids and elderly and veterans and disabled people starve and freeze on side of road , call ur local hotline pretend ur homeless IF UR AMERICAN THEY GONNA TELL U , sorry no shelter available and put u on waiting list AS THEY CONT TO STILL SHELTER ILLEGALS, this is totally messed up !!!!!! GET ALL THESE ILLEGALS OUT AND GIVE THAT AID TO AMERICANS!!!! Why should WE suffer bc LAST ADMINISTRATION GAVE BILLIONS TO FAKE ASSYLUM SEEKERS????

Deport all islamic, communist leftist lawyers back to islamic country or jail them for damaging every christian country GDP of this world & spreading Anti semitism.

CNN news story video request: \nThe Department of Homeland Security widened its investigation into migrant children found cleaning slaughterhouses and is now working with the Justice Department to examine whether a human smuggling scheme brought migrant children to work in multiple slaughterhouses for multiple companies across multiple states, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the investigation. \n\nIt’s no secret that billions of individual animals will be killed this year to satisfy America’s dairy and flesh addictions. At the slaughterhouse, they’re often scalded to death or dismembered while they’re still conscious. Because slaughter lines move quickly and many workers are poorly trained, stunning animals with a captive-bolt gun often fails to render them unconscious. As one slaughterhouse worker charged with cutting off the legs of conscious cows explained to The Washington Post, “They die piece by piece.”\n\nWorkers often become sick or are injured because of the unsafe and unsanitary working conditions of these gruesome facilities. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) records show that about 17 “severe” accidents occur each month in U.S. slaughterhouses. Approximately two slaughterhouse workers have a limb cut off by slaughterhouse machinery each week. It’s not uncommon to hear of workers losing an eye, fracturing their fingers, or suffering from head trauma.\n\nOSHA indicates that U.S. slaughterhouse employees are 3 times more likely to sustain a serious injury than the average American worker. People who work in pork and beef plants are nearly 7 times more likely to develop repetitive strain injuries. According to news reports, two-thirds of workers on Upstate New York dairy farms have reportedly sustained at least one workplace injury, and many say they’re told to work through illnesses and injuries. An Oxfam America report reveals that chicken plant workers fear that they’ll be fired if they take “unscheduled” bathroom breaks, so many wear diapers.\n\nWe can all help stop the abuse and exploitation that occur in slaughterhouses simply by going plantbased and speaking out against all the cruelty and injustice of animal slave farming industries.

CNN call for the Grounding USAF F35 Program January 28th 2025 at Eielson Air Force Base > 100 Million Dollar USAF [ F-35 CRASH ] Will Now Exceed $2 Trillion As the Military Plans to Fly It Less. he F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is the Department of Defense’s most ambitious weapons program and plays a crucial role in DOD’s ability to meet current and future U.S. national security goals. At the same time, the F-35 has been plagued by mounting costs and delays resulting in what some have called a staggering price tag of more than $2 trillion over several decades. \nDOD is pursuing a $16.5 billion modernization effort that will provide the F-35 with new capabilities through both hardware and software upgrades.
