Well, I think Trump is right, TARRIF should be a two way system, if any country don't want to apply it is for their own good. Canada should realize how to protect itself and trade across the world. We have seen Trade Embargo how it works.

my prediction is canada will step back from the retaliation very soon, simply because USA is too dominant on canada economical and political. current canadian politician do not have the power or capability to stand against US.

I mean really, if trump actually cared about drugs and illegal immigrants crossing our borders, why wouldn’t he actually try to work with Canada and Mexico instead of jumping straight to this? I mean sure, you could argue that Canada and Mexico didn’t help curb that stuff during bidens tenure. But this just seems like an unnecessary escalation that doesn’t even directly address the border issues. It’s all b.s.

Canada is a free loader cant even keep up with the nato budget. They should trade with Russia

Canada Joining the Euro ???? Looks like a match made in Heaven !!

Unfortunately, Canada nor Mexico would win this in the long run

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.

US .put 25% tariff on Imports from Canada.\nCanada put 25% tariff on Exports to US.\nBoth additional fee will be passed to American citizen to pay eventually.

Wonder if Canada can redirect the tariffs from US goods to pay for Trump’s tariffs so that they won’t have to pass it on to the consumer.

Isn’t Canada ultra expensive as is?… Trudeau didn’t think this thru… life in Canada just got waaayyy more costly \n\nAll trump wants is to secure your damn borders. Oh but wait that would actually cost you money. \n\nAnd for all the comments about oil/gas\n\nAmerica has our own.. we will be just fine

Trump will find out Mexico and Canada won’t be like island of Taiwan!

Canada should sell to Europe and arab countries. Everyone should stick together against this trump bully.

We Brits are 100% behind Canada, we were always for free trade and imposing tariffs is nothing short of bullying by Trump. I will be boycotting US goods with immediate effect ... two can play that game !!!

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

Keep your stuff, Canada ?

Don't cheer on this, Canada will loose this commercial war.

LOL, Mexico and Canada will be starving in a few months.

All of you should look on the bright side....this will drastically reduce Canada's carbon emissions. \nThat's what matters...right?

Canada and Mexico can trade with the rest of the world!

is Trudeau playing the 'my dad can beat up your dad', while stomping his foot? I love Canada, and Canadians are frankly, terrific. If this leader in all his years of bing PM has made one good decision, I'd say it is time to get yourself a new PM.

Do not forget when Germany asked for gas from Canada Trudeau said it was nit in the climate agenda.

Maybe Canada should stop playing games as they have been for years and hit the 2 Percent of GDP for NATO, there pretty much STILL at the bottom of the list expecting the U.S to protect them!

Trudeau is an embarrassment to Canada !!

Mexican here i am so proud of my president Claudia shembaun viva mexico y canada

Canada, sell the oil and gas to Europe. We will be gladly buy them.

Who roots for Canada? Of course

As an American, I'm with both Canada and Mexico. There is absolutely no reason for these tariffs. Please concentrate on the RED STATES that have caused this mess.

Let's go CANADA we won't give in. We will fight back

Canada tariff on US?

Trumps not talking with JTs ppl because he knows he has no real power right now and it’s a waste of his time if Justin cares about Canada at all they would let n election happen today

This is the consequence of depending on one country in everything. Diversify Canada. We love United States and we hope things gets resolved

SLAVA CANADA SLAVA MEXICO

Hey Canada, wanna sell your gas & oil to Europe? We'll gladly buy it all. Bypass America altogether. Tariff-free.

Canada buy more products from USA than China,Japan,UK,France combined, Canada is the major supplier of energy to USA

Canada should raise the price today for oil and electricity that goes to the US by 50%.

So Canada is purposely hurting it's own citizens.\n?

Canada and Mexico will be crippled by US tariffs. US has no need of any goods imported from these countries and Trump knows it. That's why he is doing this.

Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. Canada lives rent free under the protection of the US. Canada wants to tariff the US go ahead. The US has vast amounts of timber, coal, oil, beer, cheese ,bacon and strip clubs. We're good Canada.

Canada cant survive without living off the American tax payer.. dafukouttahere, hope Pres Trumps slaps the tariffs to ? ..sick and tired of the world living off the USA.

Canada fails to stop illegal immigration? How TF does that even happen when Canada is hemmed in by USA? The Greenlanders/Icelandics going to US to look for jobs?!? *Insert confused Jackie Chan picture here*

A lot of Canadians seem to want a trade war. When Americans heard that the truckers had gone to the capital Ottawa they were shocked,...mostly to learn that Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Do Canadians really think that most Americans sit up at night worrying what Castro's son will do?

It's only a matter of time before America pushes every country right into arms of The BRICS Nations. You can BET THE FARM if Canada and Mexico join BRICS China, Russia, and other countries will be invited to set up shop right on the Rio Grande in the South and Niagara Falls on the Northern border of the United States. America will LITERALLY BE SURROUNDED. If Panama feels threatened they will join BRICS for protection as will Greenland and every other nation on earth INCLUDING other international port locations. This is a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions to the US economy if the US loses the privilege to be served at just a couple of the strategically placed locations. This will hyper accelerate the balance of WORLD POWER from America to The BRICS GLOBAL MAJORITY and completely dismantle the influence of the UN. THEY WILL SANCTION AMERICA!!! Even Israel would abandon America once that happens because the money source would dry up in less than a couple years. BRICS now OUTGUNS America in GDP, PURCHASING POWER, AND MILITARY STRENGTH! They're are nearly 70% of the WORLD POPULATION (and growing) which means a draft is virtually GUARANTEED if ww3 erupts. China has just PUT THE WORLD ON NOTICE they are AHEAD BY GENERATIONS in AI, EV's, and technology FULL STOP! Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland, etc... have to be asking themselves is it worth it being Americas FOOLS???

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

time for canada to join BRIC and OPEC.

Canada to retaliate with tariffs on US Goods.\nLet us know how that goes Canada! LMAO

When Canada Mexico realized it's not America BFF ???

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.

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Pray the Lord guides protects and helps the Leaders of Canada and the Canadians to stay strong united and free. What goes around comes around...how can America be great again hurting other countries, they will end up hurting themselves.

Canada is the size of one our states in population…

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.
