I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Majority of canadian fuel is refined by the usa, this is definitely not a battle canada wants. Going to be interesting qs no one actually wins trade wars

All these “happy to support Canada” people are frustrated with the USA because the USA is no longer a personal ATM for all the countries that have been taking money from the USA for decades. The USA Tax Payers have been funding these countries - no more. I don’t mind paying more.

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

So Canada imposes its tariffs on USA goods is fine, when US imposes its tariffs on Canadian goods is dumb??? WTF

Trudeau is a has been.. Canada has no leadership right now until an election. Dont worry USA Canada will be fine.

As an italian i'm proud of you Canada. Don't let the crazy bullies win.\nThe USA is working hard on all fronts to end its hegemony. If this won't backfire for them, I don't know what will.

Is Canada 39 state of USA know ?

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

Canada, you were so happy to continue to be “partners” with American because you were receiving millions of dollars from America every year! Now that Trump is standing up the USA citizens, you no longer want to be friends… I see your TRUE colours showing.

Well done Canada. Trump thinks because he is a bully that everyone will fall down and accept whatever he tells them.\nBullies are a thing of the past. The USA is absolutely FU*KED.\nWell done all who voted for this idiot and dictator Trump. Fools.

Canada should shut the electricity it provides to the USA immediately. It is time for the Trump and the Americans to learn that you do not betray friends and allies.

The USA is now aligned with Russia and other dictatorships. It’s a real worry for Canada.

Love Canada!❤ But lets be real. The trade deficit is the problem. There is a change now, the USA has been drained dry because of Biden. So, when you allow 1 item into Canada from the USA but our borders are open to you to send 5 items of yours. Not fair anymore. So fair is fair!

Canada is a clown country. Canada Tariff the crap out of the USA. Sorry girly man we have a President with balls. Your speech is worthless tripe.

“Make no mistake”. You guys love saying that as you have some extraordinary knowledge. Trump is one of the brightest business men in the world. He knows what he is doing. Canada has taken advantage of the US for a long time and Trump knows this. I’m not even from the US and this makes sense for USA long term.

doews trump think we just let people threw the bofder they are very clever at smuggling the usa isnt doing anything to secure our border how many guns and drugs come onto canada oh that doesnt count right all that counts is america thats there problem everything is about them and we will win trump you can never beat us

This was never about fentanyl. The USA is planning to break Canada to annex us.

As a Korean, I stand for Canada and Mexico. Mr.Trump is messing up USA badly and treating USA alliances as an enemy. Through the trade war Mr.Trump started, many USA citizens will suffer economically and crash other economic market for the rest of world. I totally agree with Prime minister Trudeau.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

SAY IT LOUDER JUSTIN TRUDEAU ????????\n\nMANY TRUE USA ???????? CITIZENS ARE FOR YALL CANADA ?? ??????FOR YOUR NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG EXCEPT PROTECTING YOUR COUNTRY ????????\n\nI AM PERSONALLY THINKING ABOUT MOVING TO CANADA ?? ?????? OR MÉXICO ????????\n\nI ABSOLUTELY REFUSE IN MY LIFE TIME TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE ANTICHRIST OR THE BEAST, \nTHEM BOYS ARE NOT MY PERSON MY PERSON IS MY HEAVENLY FATHER GOD , MY LORD JESUS CHRIST MY SAVIOR ????????

As an American I apologize to Canada and all of our friends. I did not vote for Trump. Many of us do not want him either. Donald Trump is a liar and mentally insane. We the people of the usa should sue our government for mental and emotional abuse. I side with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

People from America (and I mean de continent) check the labels before you buy and support Canada and Mexico over USA products every time you can. Trump needs a lesson of how support and partnership is way better than the nonsense he is doing.

Canada has so many democratic allies around the world and Justin Trudeau is only enhancing that position..Meanwhile an idiot in the Whitehouse appears to be hell bent on turning USA into a pariah state.

Canada is a great allie to the USA

During 9/11. We sent fireman down there and let the airplanes diverted here from the USA here Canadians let them in their houses. After you take out gas there is a trade surplus with Canada

It's really very clever to start a dispute with almost every trading partner at the same time. This only leads to almost everything that is imported into the USA becoming more expensive, while in Canada, the EU or Mexico only the American products become more expensive and customers then switch to Canadian, Mexican or European products.

Just wild. USA is threatening Canada (and American citizens) with job loss, economic decline, and recession. For what reason? \n\nAt the same time, they are sitting alongside Russia trying to come up a peace deal that they can force on Ukraine, cutting healthcare for the citizens and blaming dwarves for plane crashes.\n\nWe’ve legalized marijuana up here so let me just have a reality check.. Is this real?

Will USA stop the flowing of guns and deadly weapons into Canada and Mexico destroying communities lives, the answer is no, because USA is runned by a weapon cartel Mafia.

Canada will be turning off all electricity to the USA. This is scary for the USA.

This is just another step in the current Administration's push to totally isolate the USA on the World stage. Canada, Mexico, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Europe should wake up and form their own Global Trading and Defensive Block (including a Nuclear Umbrella) because the USA can no longer be counted on for at least the next four years.

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

American from California who did NOT vote for this. Many of us stand with Canada and Mexico. We apologize that we have so many idiots and this disgusting criminal was voted in. Hopefully, he disappears soon, but if it's in 4 years... Hopefully, we can rebuild alliances and friendships. We're sorry. The USA is shit right now.

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

Well America is done with Canada ripping off the usa.

wow this guy is really angry that they wont be able to tax my money anymore. and wait, if tariffs are so bad for the citizen then isnt it bad that canada has had tariffs on the usa for 4 decades?

As a usa citizen its utteraly cringe how bad things have changed for the worst. Respect to canada for calling it like it is and not backing down.

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

USA don't be fooled by JT here - Canadian here - this is all for show. He resigned as PM and they are too busy screwing around to get a new leader to become PM then holding Canada hostage with no election in sight. He prouged Parliament, basically shutting it down, for this leadership game and none of them are qualified leaders. It will be the same. \n\nWe needed a vote of non-confidence years ago and it was voted out because Liberals had a coalition with the NDP. Canada needs a conservative government and if we did have this - we would not be here now. \n\nAmerica - you pissed off Canada who was already pissed off to being with and now you have amplified it more so. We have no money because it all went into this guys and his friends pockets. The scandals are so long that they can't be listed here. Thanks for ripping us off even more so now. We helped you - now you help us!

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

I am USA citizen! We stand with Canada! Please adopt me?. I’m truly saddened with what we are living now. I never thought in my lifetime. I will see my country regress in time it is hurtful.

I hope that Europe UK Australia Canada and the rest of the free world does whatever it takes to counter Russia and West Russia (Previously known as USA) and I'm entirely sure that even tho UK is biggest US ally both UK and Australia will support Canada as it is part of the common wealth

I am really sorry for Canada. We europeans are also getting ready to respond to USA threaths to our economy and democracy. USA is not longer a respectable country and ally until Trump is in charge.

Trudeau is a true leader. What a mess the convicted felon has gotten us into. Hoping Canada will offer asylum if needed, to the men and women of the USA that have been fighting against f45 since 2015.

The sooner the USA and world wakes up to the fact that Trump/Vance/MAGA etc are Russian agents, and that their intention is exactly to harm the USA, then the better.\n\nCanada is an excellent example of how to stand up to bullies and idiots. \n\nAs a British guy with Canadian family, I stand stand with Canada. ??????????????????????????

I thought governor Trudeau already resigned ?. Surprised to see him on screen again. He's more worried about the people of USA than Canada which is already in crisis. ?

JUSTIN TRUDEAU is a great leader for CANADA if.. USA..had him as a leader it would make USA a great place...love canada

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

Canada is the next Ukraine. They will soon be invaded by USA…

Canada is the best. I am not in agreement with USA administration I'm stuck under it down here
