Summary

Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports—excluding Canadian energy at 10%—plus additional duties on Chinese products.

In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a 25% duty on $155 billion in U.S. goods, beginning with $30 billion in tariffs Tuesday.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated reciprocal tariffs, rejecting claims that Mexico tolerates criminal groups trafficking fentanyl and insisting on respect for sovereignty.

Experts warn these tit-for-tat measures could drive up costs, disrupt supply chains, and mirror the previous U.S.-China trade war, possibly harming security.

    Would you rather us bend over and take it?

    Fuck America. You asked for this. Reap what you sowed. Unlike your trifling ass back home we are unified here. You have made us stronger as a nation.

      Bend over and take what? Trumps declarations have no effect on Canada.

      Canadians pay Canadian tariffs on US imports. Trump is fucking America already with his tariffs. Canada mirroring them gives Trump what he wants.

        Please find an adult and ask them to explain general economics to you and in the meantime look up the impact of tariffs and trade wars.

        Canada doing nothing gives Trump what he wants. Fighting back with our own Tariffs is the next step. Make no mistake this is a war. Not all war is fought with guns.
