“As Trump's call with Xi looms, it appears the Chinese president is giving diplomacy a chance to work as it did in the cases of Canada and Mexico. Delaying the tariff implementation until February 10 will allow for top level leadership to meet before then, which still creates an opportunity for both sides to step back from the brink and de-escalate the situation.”

“It doesn't make much economic sense. Historically, most of our tariffs on raw materials have been low because we want to get cheaper materials so our manufacturers will be competitive ... Now, what's he talking about? He's talking about tariffs on raw materials. I don't get the economics of it.”

“The tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China send a powerful message that the United States will no longer stand by as other nations fail to halt the flow of illegal drugs and immigrants into our country. These measures will also bring in billions in new revenue to the U.S. government.”

“Today, I have implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada (10% on Canadian Energy), and a 10% additional Tariff on China. This was done through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) because of the major threat of illegal aliens and deadly drugs killing our Citizens, including fentanyl. We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all. I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it.”

“If the tariff order takes effect, it will negatively impact all three countries - China, Mexico, and Canada - key US trading partners. Chinese investments in Mexico and Canada will also be affected. It's a lose-lose scenario for all four sides. The US will also bear the cost, as higher tariffs fuel inflation, raise living expenses, and make it harder for the government to maintain control the situation.”

“This is an escalation of US protectionism with no clear economic justification, driving up costs for consumers and businesses while disrupting global supply chains. The US has not specified product categories for the new tariffs, as they may apply broadly rather than targeting specific goods. If the tariffs are put in place, this wide-ranging move will reshape trade and supply chains across all four countries, impacting businesses at large.”

“You have engines and car seats and other things that cross the border multiple times before going into a finished vehicle. You have American parts going to Mexico to be put into vehicles that are then shipped back to the United States. You throw 25% tariffs into all that, and it's just a grenade. For many U.S. refineries, there's not much choice. Canada produces the type of crude oil that American refineries are geared to process. It's a heavier crude. All the fracking and all the oil and gas we make here in the United States - or most of it - is a lighter crude that a lot of American refineries don't process, particularly in the Midwest.”

“We don't know if [Trump's tariffs are] going to be on all goods, but we do know that Mexico and Canada have said they are going to respond. If Canada decides to put tariffs on the oil it exports into the US, you could see gas prices really skyrocket. Trump likes to say that other countries pay for the tariffs, that they pay the US government. That's not the case. The people who import the products have to pay the US government, so they raise prices on consumers. Canada has talked about targeting states that supported Trump [in the 2024 election]: oranges in Florida, washing machines in Michigan, dairy products in Wisconsin. So it could really impact the very people who voted for Trump, … but more broadly, you are going to see massive price increases when they retaliate all across the United States.”

“Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business. You ask something unreasonable and it's more likely you can get something less unreasonable. Canada is not going to become part of the United States, but Trump's comments are more about leveraging what he says to get concessions from Canada by putting Canada off balance, particularly given the precarious current political environment in Canada. Maybe claim a win on trade concessions, a tighter border or other things. The situation is similar with Greenland. What Trump wants is a win. And even if the American flag doesn't rise over Greenland, Europeans may be more willing to say yes to something else because of the pressure.”

“Trump often threatened to enact harsh policies during his first term in the White House from 2017 to 2021 but didn't always follow through. My initial thought is that this is probably some sort of negotiating tactic rather than something he actually wants to go through with - in part because it would be hugely damaging to the American economy. He's being a bully, which is what he is, and he's making these kind of threats to see what kind of goodies he can get. The Republican's remarks about fentanyl and irregular migration appear more geared towards Mexico than Canada. That's not really an issue in Canada-US relations.”

“All the developing countries look very united behind $1.3 trillion. That's not a ceiling. That's what they want. That's what they think they need. The U.S. and Canada are constantly talking about a floor of $100 billion.... So you've got $100 billion at one end and $1.3 trillion on the other end. While poor countries have come up with a number for the total final package, the rich donor nations have assiduously avoided giving a total, choosing to pick a figure late in the bargaining game.”

“The human rights violations taking place across Myanmar, including airstrikes on civilian infrastructure, by the Myanmar military is unacceptable and the impact on innocent civilians is intolerable. That is why today the U.K. is announcing fresh sanctions targeting the suppliers of equipment and aviation fuel to the Myanmar military. Alongside the EU and Canada, we are today further constraining the military's access to funds, equipment and resources. The U.K. remained steadfast in our support for the Myanmar people and their aspirations for a peaceful and democratic future.”

“To be effective in solving complex problems, interstate dispute, or war; you have diplomacy, you've got economics, you've got humanitarian support, and you have got the military. Canada has been active in diplomacy, by the way diplomacy obviously has failed because otherwise Putin wouldn't have attacked. Economic; the sanctions (are) valuable but they are not stopping the Russian battlegroups from grinding away and essentially killing Ukraine citizens. Humanitarian support is after the fact where you try to remediate the damage and the tragedy. We have done a good job at bringing refugees to Canada. I am told about 10,000 Ukrainians so far, some medical supplies. But on the military side we are lacking. For 5 years Canada did not allow Ukraine to acquire weapons from Canada. That was a conscious government decision because they were asking. And then when the push came to shove 3 days before the attack we send a couple boxes of weapons and then some old anti tank systems and then some other stuff and then now we've stopped again. As well we only have 600 troops in Europe right now and we are talking of a need of multiple thousands. So to demonstrate leadership we've got to do more. Not just in the first three areas I mentioned but also in the military side because if we don't deter Putin he may try something else.”

“Yesterday, we announced that we would be sending new shipments of military supplies, including body armour, helmets, gas masks and night vision goggles. Today we are announcing that we will be supplying Ukraine with anti-tank weapons systems and upgraded ammunition...Today, we are announcing our intention to ban all imports of crude oil from Russia, an industry that has benefited President Putin and his oligarchs greatly. This industry accounts for more than a third of Russia's federal budget revenues, and while Canada has imported very little amounts in recent years, this measure sends a powerful message. In addition, it ensures that those who are complicit in President Putin's atrocities cannot escape the consequences of their actions. This is why it was announced that Russia oligarchs will be prevented from using their wealth to buy citizenship abroad and avoid the consequences of sanctions.”
