NOBODY WINS WITH TARIFFS

Trump doesn't care about US jobs. He and the people who surround him are independently wealthy. They have already, in a few weeks, eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs which support the running of the United States. Vital services, including VA hospitals, have been reduced. \nI support Canada, as a US citizen, against this US illogical behavior.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

The tariffs are a pretext for a trade war that will only enrich the wealthy including trump..These people don't give a rat's ass about the people and never have..That's how they accumulated their obscene billions..

Greedy people have been taking advantage of the US for far too long. You all want to sell to America, but don't want to share any of the profits with America, or give jobs to Americans. Plus you want us to pay for everything that has to do with world peace. It is you who are deranged. Not Trump.

I’d moved to Canada if it wasn’t so expensive

Canada has alway had a tariff on US goods. Canada exports aprox 78% of their goods to the US, while the US exports aprox 17% to Canada. Canada will be crushed from this, but if that's what needs to happen to get them in line, then ok.

I love how they try to tell american its best to let us suck your blood dry because trade war is worst. Hey trudeau things are already bad so how bad can it get. America sink we all sink. So fair trade is the solution, good job trump.

Gas prices here in my town went up 50 cents per gallon already this morning ? f trump

It will hurt all Americans every American companies businesses airlines are cars industry the day-to-day living of US citizens this is a crime what Trump is doing to this country and to the citizens of America and our allies

It’s business. Stop crying and get used to it. It’s time the US put up with short term pain for long term gain. VAT is in effect the same as a Tariff.

He is going to Bankrupt America

Oh great everything just got more expensive on both sides of the border...thanks! As if we aren't broke enough

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.

Canada should pay taxes on our products as well.

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

You just raised the price of food and goods for your own country. Not smart. Canada cannot win a trade war and their economy is already a mess.

America First! This will bring more jobs to the US. More entrepreneurs. More opportunities! Americans approve of the job Trump is doing!

Never winners in a trade war.
