Forget about Fentanyl, when your country consumes so much alcohol that you can damage another countries economy by putting tariffs on alcohol imports, you got a big problem.

I am a USA citizen, and I support Canada, and I hope your government stands strong against our dictator. It's about time that someone puts Trump in his place. And if he continues to trash Mexico, we will stand with her as well. There are many Americans who think our current President is a menace to the world. He is greedy, arrogant and filled with pride. God Bless Canada!!

FYI this guy quit his job and put Canada into a position that we rely on other countries to live, has been found guilty in a court of law for embezzlement, what he is doing is preparing his Liberal party to put Canada in a state of emergency that will not allow a democratic election. Trudeau is a dictator don't be fooled like Canada was This guy is a criminal and no Canadians want him in power.

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

As Donald is using emergancey mesures does that not have 120 day timer? If so did the timer start when Donald first put them on China?

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

Trudea is the reason for these tariffs, lose trudeau and his carbon tax and your cost of living will reduce by 40% . Trudea don't care, he makes money no matter how much he puts canada in the red! He is purposely destroying Canada's economy for his corporate buddies to cash in as a monopoly, like the grocery chains and green companies etc. Trudeau is committed to putting canada in a fire sale for the world. We.f. agenda bail out at Canadians expense and freedoms. Trudeau is nothing but a actor a bad one at that!

We’re not anti- American, we’re anti-dictatorship. We are supportive of the good Americans. We didn’t take their jobs, savings and are decimating your country the idiots that voted this dictator in because their greed of becoming rich did it. You’ve been suckered, don’t put that on us. Take some responsibility for your own fucking mess. We didn’t shit on you! YOU CREATED THIS WORLD WIDE MESS.

All Canada have to do is put a 25% export tariff on a America then everything will be equal apart from the poor consumer who will have to pay a whopping 50% rise in goods..?

I actually am a fan of trump and I think he’s a strong person who will stand for the country, but what he is doing with these tariffs are gonna have long lasting effects on our country company’s will raise prices on products to make up for loss profits and that will harm who? Yes it’ll harm us the consumers somebody really needs to sit down and talk with trump before he makes a poor decision, tariffs are very easy and quick to be put onto a country but taking away tariffs not so much

Professor Jeffrey Sachs put it well regarding Trumps deficits with countries and so charging them tariffs…. “it’s like you maxed out your credit card all over town and then blamed the businesses who sold you those goods and services for selling them to you”!!

So sorry Trudeau that America is run by a Neo Nazi Traitor Trump & Republicans put this Traitor monster in office & Trump's surrounded by his bootlickers who are cowards!

Oh my God, my heart is absolutely broken in half. I am an American citizen (I am ashamed to even tell anybody that) my brother is a Canadian citizen, and I feel like Trump has put up a wall that will now make it impossible for me to ever see my brother again.\n\n* I believe that Trump is somehow spawn of Satan. He and all his henchmen!

This guy needs to give his head a shake, he ruined our country because his family ties to oil with Saudi,this guys put our country in so much deficit and has ruined it, if he ran our country proper like Trumps doing for USA we wouldn't even be here, that FOOOL she be locked up, crooked TUGUY

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

what a joke of a russian asset you have put in the white house... condolences to the world.

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

Don't send the USA oil. That is why trump only put 10% on it. Make it 50%

It is all Projdct 2025 meant to isolate Americans. Who but the billionaires could possible benefit? Billionaires breaking up with the world and Americans to own their privatized country to do with as they please. We were put on notice.?

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

Quit acting crazy man..? our president's doing exactly what we put him in there to do..

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

All should put taxes to trump not us people but to trump until he leavs white hous

Americans who didn't vote for trump will welcome anyone who will help us to rid our once great nation of the Trump cancer. It's beyond time for CNN to be honest in its coverage. YOU, CNN, helped put him into office with your cowardice and greed.

It will be the American people who will end up worse off putting tariffs on goods coming into the country, you got what you voted for, wake up & smell the coffee Trumps promises are FAKE promises….

Flip the switch off & see millions of people without power put pressure on Trump.

As an American I stand with Canada. Don't let Trump dictate what Canada does, stick it to his ass. He won't be president forever and I feel bad for our next president that person is going have alot to fix and put back in place.

Don't say YOUR GOVERNMENT, say YOUR PRESIDENT. put the blame where it belongs, and stop beating around the bush....

Trump puts 100% tariffs from tomorrow.

I don't think the US has any friends anymore all because of one person and his thuggy support group. I can't imagine putting anybody more anti American in the presidency. Also Donald is and idiot.

????? always friends just have to put our friendship on old for 4 years

There's a new president in town now.. and we the people the majority is back in him he's doing exactly the job that we put him in to do

My president put America first

This is what usa put on the block when you that elected a stupid president again Donald dumb trump

Whether you agree with his politics or not, aTHIS IS HOW A TRUE LEADER deals with something that affects their country. He’s not screaming, crying, and throwing a tantrum while laying on the floor. Good for Canada! I say don’t cut off the power but put a 100% surcharge on it. Give the extra cash to your people to help with any negative financial issues they may face.

As a UK citizen,I am appalled at the voters that put this tyrant who is more aligned with Russia than his allies. Regardless MAGA won't care . They are blind to him. I despise trump

Easy fix. Change the law that only individuals (no corporations) can legally own single family homes. Revise the building codes and throw out everything thats not putting someones life in danger. No taxes for the first 250k of personal income in your life.

PM Trudeau has finally said truth and fact. He stepped up and put America in its place. I stand by what PM Trudeau said before and today. We are/were the greatest ally of America. But, we will move forward and make new allies now.

The american people put a Felon into the White House! - What could go wrong.\n\nCanadians have a statesman in office.

I can’t believe people voted for Trump, and put us in such danger!

Irrelevant woke Canada in need of diapers and a pacifier. Let's be honest, Canada has always been a virtual 51st state aside from being a monarch territory. After all, the King of England's face was quickly and proudly put on the currency when his Mommy Queen expired. Oh and let us not forget that the 51st state proudly gave standing ovations to NAZIS in the monarch owned parliament.

Very fishy. Drump's using Red Herrings, false excuses to throw people off. While Musk is stealing from the hen house, as his Kool-Aid drinkers cheer him on. London Bridge is falling down? Statue of Liberty is falling down. But we're catching her and Pukin' is dreading this. \n\nTrump wants to put his hotels in Ukraine on the mineral mines and on the Gaza shoreline. Pathetic.

How come still nobody knows what Putin has on Trump? What was this secretive meeting in Helsinki years ago about? What was discussed there? Trump being Trump, who lies and who is weak of charactre and as bribeable and corrupt as they come. Can't put a normal sentence together. Picture that big toddler in a room with Putin and Putin alone.. Nobody knows what was discussed there. Now they have a president picking fights with his allies. He is fumbling at the very basis which NATO, Europe and US stands for, stood for.\nAt this point Trump basically is putting USA into isolation. Putin and Xi couldn't be more happy.

Trump just responded, he will put more tarrif on canada ??

Canada, decent Americans understand your decisions and we are very sorry that you were put in this position.Hopefully one day we can mend fences???

Dear Canada, most of America does not want this either! And we are stuck with poorly chosen leadership! And as Citezens of America, what can we do to put an end to this?

The traiffs will only work if the American people prosper. If these tariffs put a burden on us then we are not prospering. So what is the intentions of these tariffs? What positive thing will come out of them?

What a dummy. The tariffs are reciprocal, so if this idiot puts on a larger tariff than the US, the US counters that with the same tariff! He's just raising tariffs on his own country!

I thought this guy put his resignation forever ago I guess that was a joke? I find it funny that Canada is so strong and fighting back but their people are already fighting to just eat everyday and trying to get to the food bank everyday! You would think the the Pm would be more focused on helping his people then he is about helping and standing with Ukraine, pretty soon he won’t have any people to fight for!
