[John Drake]

I do want to see reciprocal tariffs applied, especially to Thailand.

His history of bankruptcies, stiffing contractors and customers suggests Trump doesn’t either.

I am surprised this tariff is not viewed for what it is, a subtle act of war.

What is Canada going to do.? It only exists because we let it. 

 

And of course we protect it.

No, you replied about border issues. Last time, the topic is tariffs.

Looks like someone didn't read the article just the headline. The tariffs directed at Mexico and Canada are directly linked to the borders as outlined in the article. If you can't see this then I can only assume a) you're a headline reader b) your not real bright or c) both a) and b).

"On his first day back in office, Trump pledged to enact a 25% tariff on all products imported from Canada and Mexico. He described the measure as a response to what he called an "invasion" at the U.S. border. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he stated. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”

That will only be a day or two because Trump is going to build great walls,the best you have ever seen.

In fact no one has ever seen a wall like it!

Are Mexico and Canada going to pay?

We all know the answer to that!

Oh by the way,Fentanyl comes from China and India by mail.

Your comment is obviously well researched and thought through. NOT. Keep up the good work. The stuff is flooding across the US/Mexico border. I'm definitely not saying that China has nothing to do with it. It's just the opposite.

Illicit fentanyl, primarily manufactured in foreign clandestine labs and smuggled into the United States through Mexico, is being distributed across the country and sold on the illegal drug market.

You assume a lot,actually i did research but decided not to post that but now i will.

Just meaning to say that if the Mexican and Canadian borders would be tight shut illegal stuff will still be coming in.

Never be stopped completely I agree but holes need to be plugged and the two borders are bloody big holes.

Trump ALWAYS lied. 

Never said there would be a cost for his radical tariffs.

But at least Elon Musk made the warning. There will be PAIN.

The border between Canada and the USA is one of the longest unprotected borders in the world.

Easy to get across in many locations.

How would it ever be possible to close that gap without taking away anybodies rights?

I have never been at the US/Mexican border but i know there is some kind of boundary because that is a big issue.

I also know that a lot of illegals enter the US by air.How would you stop that?

Fentanyl needs to be stopped,fine but how?

Guns are not coming from Canada or Mexico,they are coming out of the US.

Problems like this can never be solved by one country but the funny thing is ,nobody wants to be dictated by their neighbor.

A bully kind of approach will only backfire and cause worse problems.
