Please stop clutching your pearls. The US has 340 million ppl. Canada’s has about 39 million and Mexico 126 million. The US will take a hit but those countries cannot survive without the US market. They are cutting their own throats if they don’t cut a deal. it’s called negotiations. They’ll have to play ball or wreck their own economies.

No Trump is not violating anything. The moment they allowed millions of illegal immigrants to cross the border into the US all bets were off. They close their borders and work with the Trump admin and they will be fine.

They go after Trump and retaliate and they will go down. All foreign ad has been stopped for 90 days. How much aid do you think Canada and Mexico get from the US? The US economy is the most vibrant in the world. Who do you think needs who? Canada especially will go down first and Trump has designated the cartels as terrorist organizations.

You think the cartels can stand up to the US military? Police depts sure…not the entire US military apparatus.

It’s a new day where Americans come first. My goodness…what a concept.

I have to agree. It’s all about negotiations. Start high and meet in the middle. He has a strategic reason for everything he does. And it’s way past time to put America first!

"He has a strategic reason for everything he does."

EXACTLY! I've watched him for 45 yrs, he never does anything without a very good reason and he is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and savy. It sometimes takes me awhile to figure out why he did something but in the end, it always turns out he made an excellent move/decision.

100% agree with you! America has more oil than any other nation but Biden & his cohorts have been suppressing it and not producing it. IIRC he put a stop to it in Gulf of Mexico which is one reason why Trump is now calling it Gulf of America - so we can drill for oil there. Trump has already started oil drilling in U.S. again so no need to worry about not getting oil. Canada does not produce a thing that we Americans cannot. As for car production, no thanks, U.S. needs to revive our auto production, we did a good job before & don't need Canadians doing it for us. Canada is indeed cutting its own throat if they put tariffs on us. As for Mexico, cartels have completely taken over Mexico and there is nothing they produce that we can't do either.

One might construe we'll be begging to pay UKR to keep fighting so we don't piss off our own borders!

Not really, & thank you, really for this report. Much more clearly stated than others with 16 word meme worthy breakdowns.

Trump so just makes it up as he goes along and bases the livelihoods of US and Canadian and Mexican citizens on what his particular grievance is that day.

One day China is to have 60%tariff.

Next day 10%.

That's no way to have a stable society.

I've watched Trump for 45 yrs - you have no idea who he is and haven't done your research & paid attention if you think that. Trump always does his research, and always wins. ALWAYS. Sounds like you're getting your info from Huffington Post - a thoroughly bad source of "info". Quit believing propaganda and do some actual research on Trump, he isn't an idiot and he knows exactly what he's doing. There's a reason the white hats in military invited him to run for president.
