I guess trump doesn't think the US will ever need Canada. You can bet Canada will tell the US to pound sand if they need anything.

When canada sing:\nTunkak tunak Tunak tunak tatata....????

Canada should have free trade with China.

Border closure next, Canada recession in less than 5 days.... but it is Tuesday, plenty of time to announce an agreement...

Rest in peace Canada

It's called carrying out an election promised. Free loading UK ??, Canada ?? and Europe ?? were always a tool ? never in alliance. Welcome to the G-zero multipolar world ? order.??????

I have lived in Canada for 70 yrs. We will not submit to a want a be dictator-. Hes putting the blame on us when its his fault from all his failed promises hes made before and now. Hes really going to hurt the American people with everything going up in price. Trump will be made to step down im sure do to his ridiculous actions.

American here. Way to go Mexico and Canada. Stand up to the bully.

Illegal crossings and fentanyl (less than 1% coming from Canada) are just excuses to justify the tariffs. His end goal is to bring revenue to the US by means of foreign taxation.

Canada ?? China ?? and Mexico ?? should put Tariff 100% on tesla Ford and Chevy and all American vehicles right away, bevause Elon is the Reason We American and Canadian people are not getting Affordable Vehicle from Chinese Automotive industry. He is the one giving trump ideas of tarriff on every country. Tit for tat.

Bless you ?. Follow your dreams. You can always come back to Canada. ❤❤❤❤

Canada's GDP is $2.1 trillion\nTexas' GDP is $2.6 trillion \n\nYeah sure the US will suffer for this LOL\nClueless libtads. Why am I not surprised?

An American here and I stand with Canada!

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

Next time, Canada joining the BRICS hahaha Orangina will be alone in Mar a Lago.

it worked the first time he instituted these tariffs in 2016, I suspect it will work again, because Canada and Mexico have no real leverage. they can say they will fight back with their own tariffs but its a losing game for them because, they are a luxury for us. we dont need them. they need us far more than we need them. and thats why despite grumbling they caved in last time. they will do the same, you just have to let them get it out of their system like a toddler and try and save face for a bit.

Maybe Trump has China and Canada mixed up with.

Canada should leave the Allied nations and join China and Russia, see how they feel. If it gets worst just ask the brics to station Russian missiles in the border.

CANADA IS GOING TO LOSE...A...TRUMP FAFO???

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.

Hurts the US citizens for US tariff imposed on Canadas exports to US. Canada's response: we, too, will hurt Canadians with tariffs imposed on Canada imports from US. Take that! Who pays? The people do. Who cares? Not the babies in charge.

I think we will survive little Canada’s terrif

Trump is actually helping Canada with this move. Governments have to fight tooth and nail these days to get protectionist laws passed and protect their industry but here Trump just made Canada do it. The Trump administration knows what they are doing.

Who will pay the tariffs?? Yup, grassroot americans that soon may find the price of the fruits imported from Mexico jumps up 25% and also the oil price + raw minerals imported from Canada would jump 25% as well, which at the end, would seriously affects the price of end products of some daily items needed by grassroot americans

Mexico and Canada should only target with tariffs, US products made in Republican states.

Trump's reaction to canada and Mexico traffi counter attack.What will Trump do now.American people are ready to meet any consequences related to\nTrade TRAFFI \nWait and watch Trump's\nCounter attack

Canada should set the tariffs 40 percent back until they keep the guns and drugs out of Canada also. That's been a problem for decades.

The fact is that .2% of the fentanyl coming in to the United States comes from Canada. .2%. point two percent. And this warrants tariffs??

i keep hearing the argument that Americans are going to be the ones hurt, but then why are so many other governments like mexico and Canada getting so upset? man they must care a lot about the American lower class. or...... just another gas light left on by mistake

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

Yea I don’t believe it’s the fentanyl that’s the issue Trump has, I believe it’s the business with China. China is using the benefit of both of these countries free trade agreement and Trump is punishing Canada and Mexico for it.

Canada will become Americas Ukraine!

go canada, go candada, germany supports you! \nF trump.

I think that the UK, EU and Canada, if they play their cards right, can come out of this car crash presidency stronger and more independent from America. They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

Eu Needs Gas , canada needs Cash ?so do Business with EU , USA NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON

Canadian dollar just dropped to the lowest for over a decade. Canada will go into recession for sure.

Canada is going to have there economy crushed.

So in other words mexico and canada are saying to the united states that they don't care how many people die of fentanyl. They just want.\n Retaliatory tarrif. Trump should raise the tariff to fifty percent immediately

As a New Zealander I am very proud of when we stood up to the US over using our waters to transport nuclear weapons. I think Canadians should feel the same pride that your standing up now. Don't let them bully you just because of there power, Canada has many true allies all over the world.

Hopefully people around the world respond by buying as little as possible from the US (especially from the billionaires and states that support Trump). Trump is going to try to divide and conquer, and if the US will attack Canada, no democracy is immune.

Good on Canada for standing up to the U.S. The US has fallen far...

Canada is just a joke to Trump, partner seems out of question

And how exactly were Canada and Mexico supposed to address those issues? Trump knows those countries can’t resolve them on demand. So what is Trump’s endgame here?

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

Trump wants to give Canada the same treatment Putin is giving to Ukraine.

America don't need the world. America have God. Trump don't succumbs. Trump should immediately banned Mexico and Canada products to the USA

What exactly does Trump want Canada to do about the border situation? I can’t find any specific information.

Canada???

Bring BYD to Canada

Mexico and Canada won't survive trade wars with the US. They'll fold in a matter of months.
