US could sign individual trade deals after Trump’s tariffs kick in: Rubio

You use the same brush to paint everything. Putting tariffs on materials that you don't have enough of is not a good thing. Canada should start diversifing. Let US make their own cars and keep their jobs and Canada do the same. Start trading with China and others so that we are not dependent on one partner. Start by ditching the overpriced Teslas and get the BYD cars is one example. There are many examples that the governement should and could have done that benefits Canadians. The people always suffers and this is no different. People eyes need to be open to the fact that these are elites don't really care and we are just pawns in game that leads to a one world governance system.

No one is at War with China as we buy there stuff. If China was a true enemy we would not be supporting the enemy and making them stronger by buying there stuff. People need to realize that there are greater forces at work and we are all being played. Tariffs are no different.

Canada imposed tariffs on China to support USA in their EV tariffs.

F the US. I say we remove the tariffs on Chinese EVs as a big FU for lying.

Its weird they think anyone will still want to do business with them

Rubio, you need to hold onto your stand of point before, you become Trump's tool, so that you can become the new president when Trump is removed.

This guy is poorly informed. So much mis-information here.

How about the US pays for the MILLIONS of refugees that came to Europe because of your many wars destroying homes and countries??

Canada n’as allready a trade deal with US that was renegociated by Trump. US doesn’t respect their on trade deals

It’s not about the tariffs for Canadians. It’s about the threats to our sovereignty. Individual Canadians are doing the boycott.

Nah, America hasn’t been treated unfairly. I don’t know how Trump could think that just because he is the president of a country that houses the founders of certain companies that he has a monopoly on said companies. Trump shouldn’t be meddling in other peoples businesses like that, he doesn’t own or run those businesses if he did they’d have been tanked and bankrupted years ago.

The US negotiated the trade deal which outlined how each country dealt with trade. Now, they’re saying it’s not good we’re getting taken advantage of by them and are breaking the deal at all levels and blaming their trade partners. None of this is in good faith and simply damages their credibility as a trading partners. All countries are looking to distance themselves from them on account of not being able to trust they will do what they say they’re going to do.

We negotiated already Marco you clown. It's called the USMCA.

Lies. Just like using drugs as an excuse. There’s more at play here

Wow this rubio is really dwindling into full on lying… this MAGA victim narrative is unreal…

Trump tariffs are an opportunity. Canada does not have to even negotiate with the U.S. Canada can simply by pass the United States. The solution is for Canada to buy the steel, aluminum, potash, canola, lumber, or whatever else the U.S. does not take and then sell those products on forward to the global market. It is a buffer that keeps companies producing and workers employed. Canada replaces the lost U.S. buyers. It is foolish to hitch Canada’s economic wagon to declining U.S. Empire. The global majority, 60%, of global population is divesting away from the United States. The United States share of global trade has declined to 15% and falling. With tariff and isolationism American workers are losing their jobs. Remove the 100% tariff on Chinese cars. U.S. is attacking China because China is a success surpassing the United States with 1/3 of global trade. China rightfully counter tariffed Canadian canola. The United States cannot compete against China so like a losing runner in a foot race is trying to trip China up with sanctions, embargoes, tariffs, propaganda, and cyber warfare. Google “United States Interventionism” to get a true Wikipedia picture of the United States.

Canadian tariffs on US : milk 270%, cheese 245%, butter 298%, poultry 238%, eggs 163%, barley 160%, wheat 94%, sugar 265%, peanut butter 295%, rice 150%, etc.

Automakers make billions of dollars profit in Canada and the US...both countries make millions and millions of tax dollars from the workers who build the car and the employees that supply parts...this is one industry that doesnt need tariffs between Canada and the US...Mexico because of their lower wages,YES ok tariffs are fine...but to destroy the lives of American and Canadian middle class working families is ludicrous and it needs to be left the way it is as everyone does fairly well including the CRA and the IRS.

Much of it during the cold War.
Yup, Trump is still living in the 80s.

Once trust is gone...

We gona hold them until we get the best

US is killing itself slowly. Their citizens are in for some serious pain.

I wish that Shoresy was our trade minister. I could him imagine him saying to Rubio "Your mom wanted to roleplay as dog and master, but she killed the mood when she dragged her butt across the floor."

The United States of America is bankrupt. And this is their desperate way of attempting to generating money to pay down their dept and deficits. Leveraging tariffs first before sitting down at the negotiating table in order to come to terms on trade regulations with the different countries it is holding an axe over their heads with. Talk about negotiating in good faith with tariffs disguised as sanctions against countries like Canada in order to collapse their economy to make it easier to annexe them and make them the 51st state. We all know the reason they want Canada...and that is to use its natural resources to pull themselves out of the deep black hole they are in as far as the United States of America finances are concerned.
Lets not fool ourselves thinking these are tariffs...in fact these are a form of sanctions in order to make countries like Canada submit to the will of the United States of America.

Ya tariff the world 🌎 America 🇺🇸 we are happy to keep are stuff for ourselves 😂😂😂😂

Rubio, you firgot to me tion that Usa and china in trade war right now

Give em hell, Marco!

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Did Marco Rubio just say that USMCA is null and void? Canada should roll back all the IP protections etc. that the US requested during its negotiation and start making generic drugs for American seniors.

No trust in ÙSA!

Everything is framed with a narrative that is inherently hostile, all the time! Corps decide to purchase products internationally so that they can benefit from a price reduction or a product that is not available locally. The way the US government makes it sound is that they have been forced to import products by other countries. No one forced the US companies to import more goods than they export. If the US is unhappy with the status quo, why not just discourage US companies from such imports, instead of villainizing other countries who sell. Trump himself signed the very trade agreement he now claims to be unfair. It seems blaming others and playing victim is his modus operandi. All is sows is division and discord. His negotiation style is a coercive one.

TARIFFS seem to be the biggest REGULATION by the Government of the so called " free "markets"

the utter stupidity of this is maddening. does he think that, say, after renegotiating a trade deal with Canada, Canadians will suddenly start buying american products again?

Manufacturing is the most at risk industry for automation. It will take a long time to build factories that won’t increase employment significantly. The push for manufacturing is not to increase employment.

Watching Trump manage trade policies is like watching a drunk chase a balloon near the edge of a cliff.

Canada will win ha ha ha ha ha ha. The other countries will shut us down.

I'm so sick of the US saying they are getting ripped off by Canada. There are 40 million Canadians and 340 million Americans. In 2024 Canada imported 441B and the US 482B. If you look at the numbers per capita in 2024, Canada purchased $11,025 per capita and the US purchased $1,120 per capita. How do they expect a nation of 40 million to buy the same amount as a nation of 340 million??? I think Canada buys a substantial amount considering their population.

LITTLE Rubio …. Perfect name for Trump’s sidekick 😅😂😂

Donald Trump's entire cabinet are imbiciles

Agree unfair, what if, suddenly deep into this : US wins and the rest lose Or all lost. If the rest lost US a win

Let's see were this take us

Basically Brexit 2.0 Almost the same speaking points.

Did Trump think that he could just slap 25% tariffs on any country and they wouldn’t do it back? 😂 super petty of us I guess

You people here need to read up. Canada is not the enemy

new status quo whole people's lives being negatively affected while they sit on top of their gold high chairs counting their money

No, thank you, RUB

Trump is no dealmaker; has broken every deal possible; trade deals with his neigbors, with Europe and the rest of the world. With Nato, the UN, USaid, the Green Deal etc..The peace deal between hamas and Israel is broken; all failures.

There are things we can no longer make.. and we have to be able to make, but we don't need Canada. more lies unfolding.

Like everything signed by the US it’s no better than used toilet paper….USA has no word…..Canada should not deal with crooks.

This is a stupid idea. There should be one agreement. Being bad beat is no excuse and that’s not our problem.
