    1. I personally live in Canada, but don’t a ton of Americans live paycheck to paycheck? So doesn’t this hurt them more since Canada will just sell it at a higher price.

    1. @Ponny Meas NO, WE REALLY MEAN EVERYONE ELSE. TIME FOR AN EDO PERIOD IN CANADA. YOU CROSS THE BORDER OUT, YOU DONT GET BACK IN.

    1. He’s right,
      Our bad,
      We just didn’t understand that selling America a commodity it needs was the same as taking advantage of it. Please pardon our foreign ways, eh.

  1. I don’t think he understand how Tariff’s and taxes work…If you impose a tax on a product, the producer increases the cost to offset losses. Basically American business are going to be paying for this Tariff in the end, not Canadians.

    1. @Nakib Hasan It is because you misinterpreted his intention. It is not about trade deficit. It is to divert attention from his fail regarding the pandemic and use the tariff to make Canada to help in all issues against China.

    2. Humble Avitar absolutely it’s beyond political preference at this point, ppl just want trump out for the sake of the country and democracy

    3. That’s generally the point of tariffs looks like Trump is trying to develop American aluminum industry or to simply paint a political image

    1. @Gregg Arsenault Trudeau and Obama have a few things in common it turns out, scandals and corruption

    2. Frank Anthony however nowhere near the extent of the t’rump administration. Once more you’re colouring outside the lines little one.

    1. @Frank badgerman I don’t buy American dairy either. I mean increase duties on how much they export into Canada like there was before. They were only allowed to export a certain amount and any amount exceeded was taxed. We don’t need any American dairy because Canadian farmers produce enough for the Canadian market.

  2. Decimated seems to be a new word Trump has heard somebody use. I have heard him use it at least two times in interviews or speeches today. I wonder if he knows what it actually means.

    1. no no see that wont send the message make them pay 15% more that way atleast canada makes an even greater profit and the trump supporters might realize he doesnt know what the hell he is doing but i doubt that

  3. “I’ll be waving my hand
    Watching you drown
    Watching you scream
    Quiet or loud.” -Some Canadian band.

  4. We should be making cf-105’s with that aluminum and forget about buying those slow f-35’s that would run out of gas trying to catch a russian bomber crossing canada

    1. You can have our scumbag in office. He put America first in debt, unemployment, sickness, etc. Please take him.

    2. Jeff R never in our history would we hire such idiots into office I’d rather not vote then support trump Hillary joe Biden etc like there all jokes corrupt clowns and lunatics
