I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

Canada is a failing disaster as long as Trudeau and his politics guide Canada. You fools that rally around and support this corrupt governance will get what you think you want. By the time you realize what you agreed to, we won't be able to help you. Biden almost did this country in ( not that he was running the country, who knows who was but he was in the seat), if camela won we would have been screwed. Germany and all of the UK will put people in prison for an unfavorable statement, public prayer is a criminal act in the UK. If this is not Naziism what is? Your countries are collapsing around your feet just as ours was. Pull the chute, people. There is a reason no one wants to live in N Korea.

Isn’t trudeau the same guy the whole world agreed upon is a complete idiot

I've no doubt that Trump has already agreed with Putin to import energy products from Russia, even though Congress passed a bill in 2022 to ban the imports, he just needs an excuse to get the ban lifted.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Finally an outsider shaking things up. I may not like Trump but at least he’s doing something. Not too long ago everyone agreed career politicians were a cancer. Now everyone on the side of career politicians. Make that make sense lol

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

Trudeau acts like tough guy in front of media then goes back to licking Trump’s boots behind the scenes. I’m sure he called Trump after this meeting and agreed to everything Trump wanted him to do.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

Even before now less than 1% of fentanyl came across the Canadian border. Canada has had a trade imbalance with us in our favor. Canada last year had already agreed to beef up border security by $1.3 billion. Canadian troops have fought alongside US troops in several wars. As recently as a few weeks ago Canadian firefighters were helping put out fires in the US. Dumbest tariffs doesn't begin to describe it.

Trump just agreed to put 30% Tarrif on Turkey, and said it will not effect the American people as they prefer chicken anyway.

no kidding, I had to go work (2week contract water treatment DAFT system installation) in Bellingham, WA two years ago and I thought I was gonna get mugged by cartel gang bangers everyday that pretty well ran the lobby and halls of the Bellingham Lodge... couldn't afford anything better, and the company (Tradesman International) did not pay the per-diem as they originally agreed to! Aside that, the Asian owner ran my card again for the hotel charge, and I had to go through my bank's fraud dept. to get it back. They don't shut down or investigate the hotel! WTF? Everything in WA state is corrupt!

Agreed

LOL. Trump didn't force anything. Canada had already agreed to the measures under Biden. Trump got played and he passed it off as a win and then the rest of the USA got played.

Trudeau agreed to patrol Canada´s southern border on December 17, 2023. Almost zero phentanyl enters US from Canada.

Fact: Canada had agreed to increase border security before trump got into office.\nFact: trump's own border czar Homan admitted that they only made 14,000 arrests in the first 27 days and that puts them about 80,000 short of what Biden did last year. Lies! trump only used the border problems to get into power and doesn't care about anything else but power and money for the rich.

That is pure bs. How many illegal weapons do you send up North. And how many come to Canada from the south. Also the new steps to protect the border were agreed upon and started during Biden. Get your facts right. DT creates a problem, then pretends to fix it.

This is total BS, some people should do some fact checking, we have not did any thing different that we had agreed to with Biden, American are so gullible.

Don't you know that all the legal wealthiest people in the world that live in New York City that's having to leave their apartment buildings that costed a millions of dollars and the ones who owned buildings that rent it out and now they're losing their wealthy tenants don't you know that these affluent people hate with everything that hate can hate with they hate the politicians of New York that helped accommodate the lunatic lunacy of open borders they hated that these politicians agreed to have a sanctuary City and put their peace and safety in Jeopardy they hate those politicians and will use their wealthy billions of dollars to make sure they never get reelected again

lol, Canada agreed to impliment this plan back in december, that's right, while Biden was president.... Canada's actions have nothing to do with trump.

Leaders here agreed 6 months prior to trump even being in office to beef up security at the border. No it was not trump. Please do actual research before spewing right rhetoric

Indiana are very difficult nation to respect the rules and laws in the housing sector to during to jobs - and education. They don't want to learn the foreign rule except just want to make money by ignoring all rules. \nI rule said to allow the apartment to be sized and rules to all nations 2 people the indians will bring the same apartment 10-15 person minimum, damages within a days weeks, non-respect the rules they agreed to respect. \nWhen landlords are the same rules as all others indians think it's only for them, and cleanliness maintenance is the main issue. Before indians rented the buildings front, corridors, and inside all was super clean as soon Indians rented the apartment all the bags full of garbage, compost, dresses, and shoe food all in front and everywhere. The apartment and building itself are not livable and others are complaining threatening the landlord to quiet the building. For Indians tennats many landlords lost. their good respectable tenant, None want to stay with them, It's not about color or language its about cleanness and noise sharing s with many and inviting all friends which is allowed only in India, not other developed countries or Canada. U.S. If they can't respect the rules of law in Canada they should not come. Canad landlords will not allow 11/2 or 21/2 apartments with 10-15 peoples, who breaks all inside out crowd noise, deny damages, and blame Landlords.

With so many military personnels present where the hell these people will run. Anything illegal is not right... ?% agreed but only Indians were bound in chains and handcuffed. It is better to Please stay in India and work hard here.

I agreed with this Trump decision with his deportation program

More than the majority of Hispanics agreed. 54 percent Hispanic men voted for Trump knowing he was planning to dethrone Obama as Deporter-in-chief.

Sadly, i have agreed ?with the opposition party here indian have the lowest crime rate in the usa and they are shown as soone kind of drug trafficar.I m legal migrant in usa and i know it's illegal but it's not a big crime like they never harmed anyone and got into a scam to get here and send back in chains like they have raped someone and is it bad to get a good life it shows how powerless india ?? is against usa to let it happens never .

Amazing in contrast to years ago when Indian devotees made altars and effigies of worship of Donald trump, like a vedic god. Now trump burned in effigy. Narendra modi agreed to take indians back from America, so not to upset trade with trump and USA. Republican Vivek ramaswami had yelled to end birth right citizenship, to end h1-b visas for South Asian tech workers, then flipped with Elon musk, an illegal South African that violated his visa terms. Modi and Indian parliament can always kick out parasitic westerners and Americans in India in exchange.

Why Trump agreed with the dictator Maduro. These people can be killed on Venezuela. Do they look criminals. The only criminal is the president.

Immigrants are not hardcore criminals to chain them.\nThis is humiliation.\nThough we agreed to to accept them they send our people in this manner

This is so humiliating for the entire country !!! US entire IT backbone is run by Indian Nationals and that's how Modi has agreed with Trump to dehumanize his fellow citizens.\nPathetic...

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. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

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 US never cared about agreements and commitments they'd signed. The US will always do what they want, it is imperative for countries to realized this by now and don't trust what the US said or agreed too. They said one thing and will do the other.

Looks like all of them just agreed to get some extra money from us, regular folks... Just another tax on citizens. Nice new game they want us to play and divert our attention from the real problems.

Thing is the oh so bright Kamala went there and told them they could come and our constitution and laws didn't apply to them. It was all set up to destroy America and then if you remember Joe signed something with Mexico and Canada giving up sovernty-to our border. Venezuela president a bad boy. He let his prison open for them to come here and Mexico agreed to let them all come through. Drug and human trafficking. I hate it for these ppl but the USA is broke. We borrow money every year to send money and aide to other country's. Why? They all have rich lands .they sell it out to China then the citizens suffer just like here in the USA. Gov. Needs to be giving us a check each year for what they sell out of the earth here. Only the Gov.officals get kickbacks. It's theft in all sense.

I feel ashamed that CNN and Kaitlan Collins agreed to cover/advocate for it. *_THIS IS DISINFORMATION_*. \nTrump has fixed female sport. Trump is fixing sexual predators using female bathrooms and this also is a FIX. Period.\n\nIf the deaf and the handicapped don't complain about their military application being rejected, neither should some ADHD who have a mental incapacity to accept the gender they were born with, because they will stir commotion in a place where order is required.

Nobody mentions the concessions that Colombia got from Frump before they agreed to his crazy plan ?

0 minutes after imposing the tariff, Colombia agreed to take back their illegal migrants, and Trump removed the tariff. Why did CNN leave this out ?

CNN news is like finishing an essay overnight but forgot the ending ... maybe this will happen???? ..... naww numbnuts he already agreed... Mexico is watching ???

Old news!!! CNN keep up with the latest news they have agreed to all of Trumps demands!!! What a great leadership!

And the Columbian president quickly folded like a chair and agreed to take them back. This is what happens when the US elect an actual strong leader.

Colombia has always accepted migrant flights. Hundreds a year. The difference was this time, Colombians were being hogtied like animals. Trump backed down and agreed to end the mistreatment. Magtards will make this clown look like God, while Trump continues to take their money with his crypto coin and trump bibles. ????

Colombia has never had a problem with the U.S. deporting Colombians before, why did they refuse this time?\n\nWhat's different this time?\nDid the rules/procedures/laws not get followed and agreed to this time?\n\nTELL ME THE WHOLE STORY?

What a man president trumps probably the best American president ever .cnn why do you not report that less than a hour after saying he was going to introduce tariffs on Columbia . There president agreed to take them back . And this was 3 hours ago . CNN Why do you to continue to lie to the American people and the world .what a disgusting so called news channel you are
