Yeah Canada doesn’t “crown” their leaders they are elected or selected

Let’s get this straight Canada sends 77% of their exports to the US and Mexico sends over 80% of their exports to the US. Who has the upper hand? We buy less than 20% from each country and we can build everything here. We will.??

This is why Trump will occupy panama and Greenland, he will control the trade routes from west to east. This means that canada, mexico and the eu will not have any leverage in trade with countries outside of usa.\nUsa will bully and deliberately weaken his allies in order to punish china and strengthen the usa

I am not American, I am from asia. Canada and Mexico are very funny. Let's see who won in the end.

We Love Canada and Pray we get back together soon, this is feels like a break up nobody wants.

Can I ask what is the root cause of this tariff. What is actual trumps demand for this tariff and if his demands are good why Canada and Mexico could not resolve the difference? I am not supporting trump but thought of asking for the reason.

Canada and Mexico can now look forward to 50% tariffs. You're playing right into Trump's hand. You're going to be out of business sooner than later.

Way to not mention the huge tariffs Canada has on American goods like milk and cheese

Canada, to appease the Americans put 100% tariffs on EVs from China, these should be reversed toute de suite. Let Canada be flooded with Chinese vehicles, Canada will soon be trafficking them to the U.S.

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.

As many Canadians feel, Trudeau has totally destroyed our country .He will go down in history being the worst\n primister Canada has ever had. I will never liberals ever again. God bless & protect Canada.

Canada should just turn the taps off on the pipelines and the switches on the electticity being supplied tovthe u s.then fump can get his oil and electricity from Venezuela and whoever sells boxes of amperes and volts because there is nowhere else to get electricity besides canada and Mexico.

In addition to auto components, Boeing sources a significant variety and quantity of components and assemblies from Mexico and Canada.

I think The EU should offer member ship to Canada And mexico

America imports 4M barrels of oil per day from Canada. If Trump would put a 25% tarrif on them and I was Trudeau, I would add an additional 25% export tax onto it. See what the American gasprices will do then. Tarrifs are not the way to go

As a Canadian I'm doing my part and quite a few people I know are also doing this . We are avoiding buying anything from the U.S . And ive also seen big red labels on products now that say made in Canada.

Canada is Rich with Natural resources. I think Trump did a favor to Canadians. It's time for Canadian politicians and Canadians to grow back bone and Start taking care of Canada as a patriot and Put Canada First.

Canada could solve this by just calling china for help ?

A very good decision, so companies can no longer produce with cheap labor in Mexico and Canada and then resell expensively in the USA. Many companies will close their factories there and come to the USA.

GG's Canada. you had a good run. ?

Canada should invite China to build cars in Canada and arrange a trade deal.

Justin Castro must secure Canada's borders . That is all .

Canada should think about selling its oil to South Korea instead of the US. South Korea is the 4th largest buyer of oil in the world & 80% of it is shipped from the Middle East region with much higher price than what Canada charges the US. Even if Canada charges South Korea with the same high price the Middle East nations charge, South Korea will end up saving money because the shipping distance from Canada is much closer than the Middle East region. It's a win-win case for both Canada & South Korea.

Hi, if you live in the rural cities if canada, would you still want to flee away from Canada?

Very good move with Canada and Mexico. It’s the duty of the leaders of relevant countries to

Trump will impose additional 25% more for Canada! Thank you President trump!

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

As a European living in Canada I noticed right after we got here that quality and even availability of good European product is lacking. All the American backwards product never impressed me. The only thing is that Canadians are so slow with everything. Also nice Toyota trucks, right from Asia, I never understood that just because they aren't available in the US, why don't we have them here?

Simple reason it's because lack of ethics, moral and behavior. as a indian I am immigrated to Canada 20 years ago there was no anti immigration sentiment in any part of Canada but Trudeau govt started to give visa, work permit and PR from all parts of world and now In Canada anti immigration sentiment is peak in history it' because we as a indian wherever we go live like in india and do all kind of fraud. In Canada people will pay $20K-$30K dollar to business owner to get fake letter to get work permit or PR and then they do cash some at other business. we pay bribe to get driving license. Our Indian who are the mortgage broker do mortgage fraud. When Canada gave massive visa to indian you never made story but now when visa is getting rejected you came up to show sympathy but do your duty diligently and pick core reason why it's getting rejected.

Trump has started a war against its allies (Canada, Mexico EU, Denmark). Previously, I thought he had a plan, now It seems like he is just happy with controversial speeches and media headlines, I don't think his actions are going to benefit America.

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.

Canada and Mexico join BRICS ?

As an American I believe ALL Canadians should boycott US products and spending in the USA. This is not how the USA should treat its allies and friends. Now Canada will never trust the US and things will escalate. To all those commenters that say the USA has the upper hand and will win this battle, yeah maybe so but that's not how you treat allies and in the end the common man on both sides of the border will suffer. Tariffs are a US consumer tax. The country getting tariffed doesn't pay the 25% lol

As Trump has said he would do is make Canada pay for their own air and ground defense of their nation. For too long Canada has taken advantage of a free halo above their country complete with military hardware from the US. Once Canada is forced to provide monies to maintain and buy updated/new equipment the US will hammer them again. Canada doesn't make anything the US can't make themselves.

Canadians will stop buying from ketchup to Teslas. Canada strong and free!

Mexico and Canada need the USA more than the other way around.

Im pretty sure canada will fold . Vance / trump 2028

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!

Trump's rationale of the border security issue to Canada is totally false as less than 1 percent of drugs and illegals come through Canada. Trump is just being a bully to try to get his way on tariffs for what he thinks is an economic decision to improve the USA. Unfortunately he is again wrong as Americans and Canadians will pay a lot more for goods and Trump will cause more inflation, ruin companies and many job losses across both nations.

Its a poker game. America always wins. Trump knows what he is doing. Just trust the process. Canada and Mexico needs the US more than we need them.

Hmm, well canada can stop the illegal immigration coming through into the US. Trump will drop the tariffs. So simple. But they ignore the main point

Trudeau will learn the hard way. Canada will fold eventually

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.

This American is rooting for Canada.

Canada and Mexico need to respond with force, not just proportionately. Trump is a bully and bullies only respond to other bullies. Both countries should shut down Ford and General Motors factories which supply components to their US factories, as a start. When all the US CEO's start screaming at trump, he might listen.

Won’t be good on the US to get 25% tariffs from Canada, 25% from Mexico, and 10% from China. Each country got 25% or 10%. But the US all together will get 60% tariffs.\nthe tariffed products are different and come from different countries. However, the tariffs enter the US economy together.

CANADA SHOULD AND MUST CLOSE THE DOORS... IF THIS GOUVERNEMENT CONTINUES TO BRING MORE IMMIGRANTS CANADA WILL BE WORST THAN INDIA... PLEAS DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT'S TO LATE... ??????????????????????

while all those walls are happening in the south borders.\nThousands a day of illegal Indians from India walk leisurely across the Northern boarders from Canada!\nNo walls to climb. No desserts to cross. And near public transportations.??????‍???

Haan toh hoga hi hate har koi chutiya india se canada jaa raha hai ,only good quality indian should be allowed not fucking illetrate

Same thing for Canada massive deportation now .
