what the hell is going on in the world? US vs CAN, US vs Europe, Italy siding with US refusing to support EU against russia. I mean what is going on here?

Please trade with us in Europe.. We are happy to buy Canadian instead of US goods.. I feel sorry for the US people who did not vote for trump.. Go Canada!!

He is furious. It is astonishing how one single man can have such a global impact and it all seems to come down to who flatters Trump the most, who writes the biggest cheque for his campaign, etc. \n\nThe US administration needs urgent reform: Trump has removed aid, affecting millions, especially women, has now left Ukraine floundering with Elon Musks satellites probably on the chopping block too, and for the American people he has ensured that prices will go up even more. \n\nThe only silver lining is it is well overdue that Europe is properly energy independent and armed. We also need to get much wiser about the floods of migrants.

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

What Trump is planning is to lay down the ground work for grounds to leave NATO. After that putin will go to war with Europe which in turn anables Trump to go for Greenland and afterwards Canada\n\nIf not americans wakes up that could become a reality

Go Canada! Europe stands with you. Free trade zone with Canada-EU-India!

Boycotts of American companies and products are going viral in Europe. I was shocked to see how much is actually American made from seeing the many lists that people provide. Was in the supermarket today for major weekly purchase, not a single item US made bought. Greetz from Sweden and may God protect God fearing Americans for what's coming.

This clown is definitely in the running for one of the weakest most pathetic leaders ever. And for all you “Americans” siding with Canada and theft from the American tax payers, you should move to Canada since your weak minds fit right into Canadas weak minds. \nFor the clowns threatening to do more business and side with Europe, go ahead. You probably should ask Ukraine about how helpful Europe really is!!

Stay strong, Canada! Europe will be happy to have you as a stronger commercial partner going forward.

Mr.Tredeau kom to Europe, Canada en Europe together will be stronger than the USA Trump wants to go with Russia ,let him go.

To all our dear friends in Canada, Mexico and America, I'm so sorry you have to go through this because of that orange lunatic in the White House. Please keep fighting. Europe stands with you! From a worried Belgian friend... ❤

why don't you go to China or Russia, just aim at North America, Australia, Europe, look at this reality and you will understand, you go to another country and don't respect the laws and culture of that country, bring your noisy and rude culture with you and show it on the street in public, lazy, dirty, devaluing... do you know why you are hated?

Europe watching and going to copy this ??

What about you when you go back to Europe

They need to go about this legally. There is not a single country on the planet that just lets people in. Well…Europe is doing it. Tell them to go there!

Let the canadians go back to europe ??? and give it back to the natives ??? to all the dumbasses that disagree

Good decision. Indian talents should search and prefer to go Europe & help their economies. Canada will realize after 8-10 yrs that they have more asylums seekers and consuming tax payers money ?

The coyotes are still operating to get people across...they are just going through California, a sanctuary State!!! ??? i just saw a report of sales people in a coyote office working a little harder to get their customers. It is expensive to pay a coyote. So it is a very lucrative business!! Lots of folk from Europe are in the coyote business. It is shocking that ICE is helpless as these coyotes advertise in the open in a lot of countries!! \nCountries like Ecuador have visa on arrival for any country and so they all fly into those countries who get an income from visa fees. Chinese, Filipinos and indians are using that route. They have to get to the Southern border, it is like getting from NY to LA. So it is expensive. But the coyotes have not closed shop! They know they have California open!!

This is going on in Europe too, for decades. It's almost like they want to make one world government :)

Mr Trump is right exactly what happen in UK \nat edge of civil war refugee stay built you country 99% are invader \nWhy not going to Saudia the rich country Quatar Iran Pakistan Bangladesh \nHow they crossed from Middle East to Europe and Canada they can do opposite direction \nEnglish was not language of Middle East Bangladesh or Pakistan why they migrated was invasion on big scale but naive stupid European Canadian Australian (the video of buses killing patient ) Don’t say few bad apples that is Islam ideology listen to Islam preaching Muhammed hijab you know the truth

Europe belongs to Europeans.\n\n\nIslamic Ummah ??? why they don't go to uae saudis Turkey...

Why don't they go to Canada or some other country why not Europe and Asia? The US shouldn't take them all

India must havr to only two languages English and Hindi and focus to improve life style and have open minded culture to spread unity among indians. \n\nSafe dating life safe night life safe sex education is important we all live for good sex life and good life style \n\nwhy indians dream of going to settke in europe or America is a question on government of india also ?

How do Muslims wind up in Europe when the whole so called Middle East is Muslim why do they bypass so many Muslim countries just to go to Europe??????? I don’t get it.

Indians want to populate the world, better yet Europe.\nWhy are they not going to South/north Korea, china, Japan & so on.\nThey always go to where their bullshit is entertained. And don’t get me wrong, there are good & bad people but Indians in the diaspora is becoming rapidly troublesome. They lack proper behaviour.

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.

(Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. 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.

He needs to go back to where they came from….EUROPE??‍♂️….darks were ALREADY HERE…go figure…and NO…NOT AFRICANS…MEXICANS n NATIVE AMERICANS…the REAL AMERICANS ??‍♂️.

80% of good come in from Canada. Go ahead. How about leaving America and Americans alone. America is Americans not Europe. Sorry

One guy screwing up the world economy another looser keeping a war( Putin) going ? trump has no respect for Trudeau ( neither have most Canadians). But yes lets where all if this is going . At this point it’s more a hype about what trump announces . We can only react to it when it happens . For sure is that canada put to many eggs in one basket . For us the transport is short across the border but Europe would definitely benefit from our resources. The challenge is that trump is only in for 4 years , after his departure prices will stay up ,as history has proven .

Europe should response and go for a new agreement with Canada.

50 % Mr Trump to tyrant Trudeau and open border send all Ilegals to Canada all Venezuela gangs Haiti Honduras They will go instead to their countries Canada is communist country They are playing with fire Europe has no money give free

Europe economy is finally going to be saved as long as the Europe does not follow the US tariff policies.

This is great for Europe! Go Trump!

Guess what! they fear because they know their actions were illegal. I get some citizens who have certain backgrounds being nervous but fear? No as they are already in the system and safe. But the criminals who took advantage of the US deserve to be deported. But, from my understanding ICE is so far only going after serious crime offenders such as drug, human trafficking, murder etc illegal aliens. It is culture shift but it is not only in the US. Europe, UK, Australia etc these all countries pulling back on illegals and mass migration.

Massallah! Now please take a few thousand Muslims with you! Is that islamaphobic? No! It is not a Hate for the people. Just as you don't want different ideologies around you, you want to be amongst your people, so do others. People want to be in Communities of like minded people. \n\nHatred for Islam? Over the past 50 years, terror, taking over neighborhoods, pushing the majority Christian host nations to conform to their standards, etc. Hate for muslims begins to brew. Foreigners not assimilating. Look at stats for crime in Europe.\n\nSo bravo ?! Go in peace. Please!

Well done USA - when are we in europe going to get leaders who put keeping us law abiding citizens safe as a priority?

When going to UAE we Mauritian show which hotel we r going to stay... In Europe too we have to show the duration of the voyage n place we r going to stay (if family it's invitation letter or hotel)... In India too we are mostly as businessmen or in a group tours...

Why don't they go to Canada? Celebrity are fleeing to Canada and Europe ?

Hey trump can I go back home too since my grandparents arrived in 1917 as immigrants rich went to Manhattan then moved to cleveland id live to be deported back home right back to europe

This all smells like a false flag orchestrated by DNC Major donors, to ultimately have migrants severely injured or worse by our Border Patrol. As a result, Trump will labeled a Dictator who holds no regard to the lives of innocent Loving migrants. We need the Military and the entire US Homeland to build a wall. If not President Trump is going to call on every Citizen to stop this invasion at the Southern border, to prevent a collapse of our Country. Either we our Troops and homeland stop this invasion, or we will become Europe with no border and no walks. It may very come down to the Patriots of our Great ??

He is pissing off the world one country at a time and people are going to stop travelling to the US and buying goods made in the US.\n No one likes a bully and he is managing to do more damage to the US and their reputation. Americans will be treated like crap in Europe, Canada, Greenland and Panama and the list continues to grow. The world population is going to stand together against this mentally ill wanna be dictator. People are not going to put up with his crap.
