This is going to be a major hit to the Canadian economy if they don’t lower their prices to stay competitive as US businesses will look for alternative sources to not deal with the tariffs themselves. At the end of the day, Canada and Mexico will eat the cost of the Tariffs themselves.

Much less labor cheap enough to make anything affordable after also having to create and finance whole new production lines for all the goods we don't make here. And of course that's also ignoring base materials that just can't EVER be gotten here in the amounts we need, oil, lumber, copper, aluminum, steel, etc... And of course a lot of produce that is not just sold in produce sections, but used widely in U.S. food manufacturing.
And THAT forces these billionaires to hire Americans FIRST and pay them well while also keeping the price of the products/services affordable if they practically wanna do business in America. That would solve the unemployment crisis in the US since Americans can't find jobs in the US and suspiciously nobody's talking about this.

The US spends significantly more on imports thsn any other country in the world. Trump just tariffed our three biggest trade partners. They responded by either tariffing us back, or doing what China did and completely cutting off the imports our tech industry needs. If that's not lifted within a year's time, America isn't going to HAVE a tech industry.
The transmission factory in my town of 7000 residents packed up and moved to Mexico because they could pay lower wages and then ship the transmissions back to the US with no appreciable penalty.

It pretty much killed our town and school. I can give up avocados
Yes we do Todd, Canada is our largest supplier of crude oil in the US, and Mexico provides tons of natural gas for us.

The 2 country’s also heavily strengthens the US’s influence in the UN, G7, and OAS. They all play a huge role in our economy, safety, and global influence
Get ready to pay even more on goods. It's the basics of economics. So much for maga lol Republicans don't care for the working class. They only care for the wealthy. High inflation 2025!
USA helps Mexico and Canada‘s economy by buying 70 and 80% of their goods. They were only asked to help secure the border and they decided not to help.. America has been the only country to let people illegally cross, and let them in with full benefits and the ability to stay . no other country in the world does that . we’re now tired of paying the costs and we need countries to start taking accountability. I believe their tariffs were at 15 percent each . He only add 10 percent more . But the media is making this bigger than what it is .

@@littleblindbean We dont have to buy from these 3 countries though either. But we used to make it all ourselves, we can again. Would be a little early growing pain, but the end game would be America being self sufficient again and strong.
lol 😅 US citizens will be paying more for imported goods … which is practically everything they use. Your companies and corporations shut down factories decades ago and shifted production to Asia where they found cheap labor. They gave your jobs away. Now they want you to pay more for goods made in factories or grown on farms overseas. The tariffs will create more wealth for companies like Amazon and Walmart. A large percentage of U.S. food is exported from Mexico and other South American countries. Enjoy the rise in food prices because of the Trump tariffs. The ones who voted for it don’t even understand how tariffs work. Also many people around the world are calling for a boycott of U.S. goods. The countries DJT is raising tariffs on can bypass the U.S. and trade with other countries. BRICS is now rapidly expanding. Remember when he was selling his suits in Macys that were made in Mexico and his ties and products for his properties that were made in China? He’s never cared about ‘Made in the USA.’
President Trump should raise the tariffs 10% more per week until 100%, plus full cutoff of all aid and remittance. NO remittance should be allowed to any country under punitive tariffs.
Awesome move that will benefit America. Make and consume products here, we don't need Canada or Mexico. Global trade only exists because of the United States Navy, bring the fleets home.
The Mexican Government shell game, despite the movement of U.S. Auto production; Auto engines, parts supply, huge Agricultural trade, Mexico has warmed up to Communist PRC China. Agreements have been made to place an Electric Vehicles manufacturing plant in Mexico. The PRC'S plan is to make their inexpensive Electric Vehicles in Mexico. This will open Central and South American trade as the China EV's flood those markets. However, it has been widely published that the inexpensive EV's will also be purchased by Americans in Mexico and upon return to the U.S., Americans will demand access to China's EV's cars that have proven inexpensive reliable Auto's. This obviously is a threat to the U.S. Auto Industry. Which is facing the ongoing influx and sales of foreign European vehicles, Japan and South Korea are also providing EV's as well. The emerging Tariff war with our top alli and trading partner Canada is disappointing and makes U.S. economic troubles far more complex and difficult. The massive illegal entry of Fentanal is evidently coming across both Mexico and Canada's borders along with "Illegal immigrants." Chemicals to make the extremely addictive Fentanal are coming from China! Despite discussions with the Xi led PRC and agreements to make efforts at stopping the illegal smuggling of the building block Chemicals, the influx has not stopped. Mexico is a Cheif location where Drug Cartels thrive and produce the end product Fentanal. Despite billions of U.S. dollars being made because of U.S. manufacturing moving into Mexico, the Mexican government has agreed to put in place large manufacturing facilities with Communist China. Yes, the tough U.S. stance is more than justified. No matter what the long term outcome maybe it is obvious that Mexico has not respected the U.S. contributions in assisting Mexico grow it's industrial base!
@@EddieHenderson92 I'm an independent centrist. Not a liberal at all. It's literally common sense we're all going to be paying more from now on. That's what tariffs do and have always done.
CEOs are getting paid more while we are barely getting paid to afford a one bedroom apartment and it’s only gonna get crazier from here This is who y’all voted for :) (tbf neither would’ve been good but at least we wouldn’t be here)
Some of y'all really bought those "make america great again" hats and flags that are made in china and said.. yep, this guy is going to fix outsourcing. Lot of medals to hand out here for the mental gymnastics special olympics.
If thats the price we have to pay in order for American factories to establish and start to create plenty of jobs here and start making our goods on American soil again, rather than importing from other countries , so be it.
Products aren’t just made in one country. For example let’s say a Bic Crystal Black ink pen is made in Mexico. The plastic is bought from China and the cardboard is from Canada. And let’s say the cardboard is on trucks that leave Canada into United States to Mexico. Then the finished pens are then loaded onto trucks into America. Bic would have to pay tariffs at least twice to make a cheap plastic pen. A pack of 10 pens would go from $1.57 to $2.45. That’s a 56% price increase.
I worked in logistics and in the past tariffs weren't charged on items going through a country since the transaction is between Canadian and Mexican companies.
You know how she could respond better….. offer Americans citizenship. They have a dozen eggs for $2.00. They would have an influx of retirees on tight budgets
Nothing comes from either country that we can’t do without. Very happy with my garden and chickens right now. It’s only going to get better as deportations increase. No longer will scummy companies and illegal labor be able to undercut legitimate American businesses
Over the years, I have lost 3 of my jobs that was sent down to Mexico, and it was painful/depressing trying to find another job. Economic wise, I do have some issues.
Oh my gosh… The Wall Street Journal says tariffs are “dumb.” All of America should feel ashamed of their behavior! What can we do to please the WSJ in this personal insult? 😂
It amuses me that people seem to think that if you put a tarrif on a country's goods that American businesses aren't going to be the ones paying the tarrif. All this "They need to pay up" talk is incredibly dumb when you realize that other countries aren't going to spend a dime more. The goods that Americans and American businesses buy will just be more expensive. Much more like a sales tax than people realize.

We can make everything here. Companies should be forced to do that. Force them to make a better economy. Idc if it's fascist. Be fascist if that's what it takes to make a better country.

Yup imagine, 20$ jugs of orange juice. 2$ limons.
I ship stuff to Canada every day, and there's already a 30% tariff/duty on the items I sell. So, on a $500 purchase, Canadian customers end up paying over $800.

The shoddy quality of goods has nothing to do with whether or not they are made in America. If Maytag moves washer manufacturing back to the US, you are not suddenly going to have a washer that lasts for forty years.

And of course that's also ignoring base materials that just can't EVER be gotten here in the amounts we need, oil, lumber, copper, aluminum, steel, etc... And of course a lot of produce that is not just sold in produce sections, but used widely in U.S. food manufacturing.

And THAT forces these billionaires to hire Americans FIRST and pay them well while also keeping the price of the products/services affordable if they practically wanna do business in America.

The 2 country’s also heavily strengthens the US’s influence in the UN, G7, and OAS. They all play a huge role in our economy, safety, and global influence

USA helps Mexico and Canada‘s economy by buying 70 and 80% of their goods. They were only asked to help secure the border and they decided not to help.. America has been the only country to let people illegally cross, and let them in with full benefits and the ability to stay . no other country in the world does that . we’re now tired of paying the costs and we need countries to start taking accountability.
I believe their tariffs were at 15 percent each . He only add 10 percent more . But the media is making this bigger than what it is .

The Mexican Government shell game, despite the movement of U.S. Auto production; Auto engines, parts supply, huge Agricultural trade, Mexico has warmed up to Communist PRC China. Agreements have been made to place an Electric Vehicles manufacturing plant in Mexico.
The PRC'S plan is to make their inexpensive Electric Vehicles in Mexico. This will open Central and South American trade as the China EV's flood those markets. However, it has been widely published that the inexpensive EV's will also be purchased by Americans in Mexico and upon return to the U.S., Americans will demand access to China's EV's cars that have proven inexpensive reliable Auto's.
This obviously is a threat to the U.S. Auto Industry. Which is facing the ongoing influx and sales of foreign European vehicles, Japan and South Korea are also providing EV's as well.
The emerging Tariff war with our top alli and trading partner Canada is disappointing and makes U.S. economic troubles far more complex and difficult.
The massive illegal entry of Fentanal is evidently coming across both Mexico and Canada's borders along with "Illegal immigrants."
Chemicals to make the extremely addictive Fentanal are coming from China! Despite discussions with the Xi led PRC and agreements to make efforts at stopping the illegal smuggling of the building block Chemicals, the influx has not stopped. Mexico is a Cheif location where Drug Cartels thrive and produce the end product Fentanal.
Despite billions of U.S. dollars being made because of U.S. manufacturing moving into Mexico, the Mexican government has agreed to put in place large manufacturing facilities with Communist China. Yes, the tough U.S. stance is more than justified.
No matter what the long term outcome maybe it is obvious that Mexico has not respected the U.S. contributions in assisting Mexico grow it's industrial base!

Products aren’t just made in one country. For example let’s say a Bic Crystal Black ink pen is made in Mexico. The plastic is bought from China and the cardboard is from Canada. And let’s say the cardboard is on trucks that leave Canada into United States to Mexico. Then the finished pens are then loaded onto trucks into America.
Bic would have to pay tariffs at least twice to make a cheap plastic pen.
A pack of 10 pens would go from $1.57 to $2.45. That’s a 56% price increase.
I worked in logistics and in the past tariffs weren't charged on items going through a country since the transaction is between Canadian and Mexican companies.
