Yet Trump approved billions of dollars to for the Israeli military for their genocide of the Palestinians

We have a 600 billion deficit to these countries in trade, and you said liberals are okay with this. You all have some serious issues.

Donald Dump is a dumpster fire. He and JD are complete idiots, Canada doesn't allow drugs into US, LMFAO. They have single handedly ruined of decades of partnership and friendship, gone for ever in just a few weeks! We might be small, but mighty, unfortunately it will be everyday Americans who will feel the pain. Millions less trips to USA from Canadians, BuyCanadian, all US alcohol no longer available throughout Canada, AND Gov'ts not allow US companies to bid on procurement. 100's of Billions will be lost to everyday Americans, and remember you have Donny and JD for it all!

Canada's $63 billion trade imbalance is a bigger issue. your telling trump the last time he was in the white house you would be spending 2% of your GDP on the military by 2024. Now you say you will get to 1.8% by 2027. Open your trade. Like JD Vance said we can keep going up on Tariffs until you balance trade.

Well, I am from America and I never heard of such a bunch of whiny babies in my life. If you got an app to get her Mr. Trudeau and got the border tightened up instead of lying about us you wouldn’t have 25% tariff against you in the business we do a Canada as much it is in the billions it’s chunk change to us so young with the program and get it together and take a nap order in for you Europeans. I wouldn’t criticize in America to quickly because we’re in America well that’s not how that conversation.

Now they’re not gonna care about fentanyl coming into America and are just gonna leave it up to Mr. Trump to deal with it. They spent billions of dollars and our president isn’t even acknowledging that fact, but instead sensationalizing things for his own benefit. Thanks for increasing the flow of fentanyl President Trump!

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

To all people who replying \nStop with comments about bullying \nLotta countries took billions from America \nAll trump is doing is collecting \nStop with the disrespect speech \nHe’s just being a leader collecting what’s right

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

If you want to talk about the American taxpayers money let's talk about Ukraine 500 billion of American taxpayer money that we lost and will never see again let's talk about that

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

He’s getting money back from having to subsidize Canadians for 200 billion a year.

Germany also has an answer to the USA. An hour ago, it was announced at a press conference that Germany is spending 530 billion dollars on research, innovation and infrastructure. And there is no longer a limit for the defense budget. Thanks to the low national debt. While the US government is making cuts everywhere in these sectors.

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

Trudeau should be careful, otherwise Trump might discontinue the 200 billion dollar handout we give him every year.

I see that Meloni Joli is wearing her military combat outfit! Is she the 'increase in defense spending' that you promised to Trump. Trudeau is going to give us all a 'reach around'! Now Trudeau has given a sole source contract of 40 Billion to the Quebec company SNC Lavalin to build new high speed train between Toronto and Montreal! That money should have gone right to Defense spending. Meanwhile there is not even bus service between Calgary and Edmonton, two Alberta cities with a combine population of more than 3 million people.

You already tariff American goods ya idiot!! What do you think started this BS!! We’re gonna finish it! And your 200 billion subsidy is OVER! ??

I guess everyone in America is good with spending 7.3 billion dollars of their tax money on only 8 charging stations built with the money earmarked for infrastructure improvements in the U.S. most of us Americans are complete idiots.

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

Zelensky was willing to pay Trump $500 billion dollars (or 50%) out of Ukraine’s minerals. And was willing to allow Russia to occupy 20% of Ukraine’s territory. Trump and JD Vance are chastising Zelensky when all Zelensky wants in exchange of the mineral and territorial deal is a security guarantee that Putin will stop invading the rest of Ukraine.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.

Canada is screwed, they have no leverage. He's just pissed that he's not receiving our 250 billion dollars. Why are we giving them our money?

Watch Musk double his billions- he is hell bent on his Mars project and will bankrupt the world to do it .\nRemember this comment

CRIMINISTER TREASON TRUDEAU IS FRIEND TO NO ONE BUT THE DEMONIC LUCIFERIAN WEF THE SATAN WORSHIPPING GLOBALISTS...HE HAS DONE THIER WILL AND DESTROYED CANADA AND FED THE WAR IN UKRAINE BILLIONS WHILE WE CANADIANS ARE GOING WITHOUT...MORE HOMELESSNESS EACH DAY....TRUDEAU IS KILLING US...HE GRACEFULLY OFFERS MAID...MEDICALLY ASSISTED SUICIDE...TRUDEAU FLOODS CANADA AND THE USA WITH FENTANOL...HE IS THE BIGGEST DRUG DEALER ON EARTH....TRUDEAU IS UNABLE TO SPEAK TRUTH ON ANY LEVEL....HE IS FULLY DEMONIC. BUT SOON THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE EARTH AND TRUDEAU AND ALL LUCIFERIANS WILL INHERIT THE LAKE OF FIRE

Canada sells us 250 billion dollars more than they buy of our stuff so boo hoho Americans are sick of r so called allies screwing us

Does Trump have a deal with Putin, that if he sells out to Ukraine, and ends the huge costs to Russia of waging the war, Trump gets quid pro quo in new resorts set up under Trump in Russia with umpteen billions going back to Trump as under the table kick-backs? These are the sort of deals you would expect from a man convicted of so many felonies... What other explanation could there be for Trump selling us all out to one of our most dangerous enemies...? The dictionary definition of treason...!

We don't buy $155 BILLION in goods from Canada...what is this clown talking a-boot?!? Lol ??

IF CANADA DOES SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE U.S. WHY ARE WE SENDING BILLIONS TOO THEM,YOU BETTER DO YOUR RESEARCH,CAUSE JUST A HANDFUL THINK TRUDEAU HAS BEEN DOING GOOD!!!

Canada owes America billions! Drugs have nothing to do with this.

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.

Canada doesnt cost the US money. The country that cost the US the most money is Israel. Israel costs the US taxpayers billions and billions of dollars every year. Israel murdered 100,000+ mostly women and children in Gaza with free US weapons.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

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.

WELL WE SEND BILLIONS TO CANADA,THEY'VE ALLOWED ALL ILLEAGLES TO TO BRING DRUGS AND CRIMINALS TOO ARE 'GREAT COUNTRY' AND YOU ALL DONT GIVE A SHIT,SO NOW I SEE THE COMMENTS YOU ALL ARE SENDING,YOU'RE WRONG,AND YOU LIE AND TELL ONLY 20% OF THIS NEWS,SICKENING TO SEE THIS!!!!?

For all of you supporting Zelenskyy, the man cannot even account for $100 billions -- yes, billions with a B -- given to his country, and his stupidity plays right into the hands of starting WWIII, if we're not in it already. Ukraine is just another source of money laundering, and here we are just willing to give more and more money without any result, except for dead bodies. There is nothing wrong for wanting peace. You can't negotiate with only one side. And for Canada, Canada has been charging us high tariffs for years, but no one has pointed out that unfairness.

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

Trudeau failed to mention all the billions Canada owes the United States which caused the tariffs to start with. Trudeau you have stepped on it big time so keep kissing the globalists tail!

As far as alcohol exports Canada exports over 600 million dollars to the us while the us exports 255 million to Canada. Both countries lose. But this does highlight the trade deficit between the two countries. 63 billion dollar trade deficit with canada is enormous. I don't know what the solution is, but i know this will be painful for all.

Trudeau should be our next Prime Minister...!!! ?\nOur economies are so inter-twined because it WORKS! So many American companies have set-up plants in Canada in order to profit from doing business here. It's not just products that we MUTUALLY benefit from selling to each other, the US generates significant profits from its many operations in Canada, and those $Billions of dollars in profits that go back to American Investors is not included in the 'Trade Imbalance' that is a justification for the tariffs. With those profits included, I'd bet Canada is the nation with the imbalance not in its favor...

GG. SHOULD HAVE TREATED US LIKE YOUR #1 ALLIES (as you say), AND THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. WE ARE NOT UNREASONABLE EITHER, AND IT IS DISREPECTFUL THAT YOUR PRESIDENT WOULD MAKE SUCH A CLAIM. dont forget ya'll costed your best friends $200 billion a year. It's called return-on-investment

This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

Canada? Welcome to Europe. \nWe have your back.\nWe are half a billion, well educated, highly motivated, logical, mature European citizens with a vast combined armed forces. \nTurn around and face East. We are looking right back at 'Ya.

Maybe we shouldnt spend BILLIONS of dollars for protection and dont get anything back. Is that fair? Trump and MAGA are fed up spending SOO Much money that has little or no benefit to us yes it will hurt for now, but we already spent 4 years in hell whats anouther1-2 years.

Trudeau liberals NDP only answer to klaus Shwabe WEF SCUM reign and call election you fn parasitic vermin you gave war criminal Zelinskie 25 billion to wage war and wanting World War 3 ,open borders

CLOWN! ? WAIT UNTIL HE STOPS THE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS THE USA GIVES CANADA.

But what was trump taking about when he said we give them billions of dollars of free money every year I believe that’s why we got here us Americans are wiping everyone’s ass and when the toliet paper runs out we have to buy more we want you guys to start buying us toliet paper wipe our ass

While I acknowledge that the way Trump and Vance addressed Zelensky could have been more diplomatic, as an American , I cannot justify allocating $360 billion of our tax funds towards resolving another counties war—especially when only half of that amount has been accounted for, and the other half remains untracked. Let that point sink in! The US is currently in $33 Trillion dolars in debt yet giving away money like candy . No other country is contributing money like we are . We simply do not have the resources to continue doing that . Our financial situation is worsening as we print more money to allocate toward other countries. Furthermore, 7% of the $33 trillion of the US debt is owed by other countries , including China . Our funds need to be utilized for our own benefit before being given away. We have veterans on the streets, the elderly suffering because SS isn't covering their basic needs , school system thatvis failing , health insurance unaffordable by most. We need to fix our own issues. We need to feed our own kids before we feed the neighbors, not the other way around.

Oh 125 billion huh trump can subsidized canada for 100 billion for the deficit. Smh watch what happens

i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.
