Good luck with that\nTrudeau’s going to be begging for forgiveness just like Zelinskyy shortly \nCanada sends almost 80% of their exports to the United States and we send about 12% of ours to them.\nTrudeau is a an economic idiot

The REAL reason Justin Trudeau is stepping down from office is because he's coming to be PRESIDENT over the Untied States Of America!!!! Please HURRY. We ❤You!!! ???

Trudy, you twisted F. TRUMP is looking for peace. Tariffs? You have been milking every us tax payer for years. I am all for a 51st state. Don't speak to us Americans.

Canada looking like a great 51st state

What happened to United States government being by the people, for the people? PM Trudeau's speech is in plain real language, unlike the dumbed-down unintelligible words coming from our administration here in The US. Thank you, PM Trudeau for speaking so reasonably and maturely about this unpleasant trade development??

Our allies are finding out just like we did that this criminal is bought and paid by Putin. He’s not your friend Donald Trump is the enemy of the state and the free world.

?? ?we are winning so much I am so tired of winning so much ?? good luck red states that Canada ?? provides electricity ⚡️ lights off

It's ok we're rich, and Canada ?? will be the 51st State of the United States ??

Send to now as bad as it is is an excuse, Big Pharma here in the United States is an even bigger problem, peeling all these drugs to the elderly community with futile efforts. There is something else behind this.

So are you going to be a tough guy against Donald Trump the United States been protecting your country for its conception maybe you need to go visit him in the Oval Office and get school on what a pansy you are go ahead and talk to Donald might just close your border to America you don't you don't have the cards you don't have the balls be tough guy he'll slap a 50% tear upon you and then maybe he'll say take a hike a jerk Trudeau come on wake up

It was never about fentanyl or border crossing Trump is just making up reasons. I think he wants the United States to be ruined.

The US has no longer has friends. We are now a predatory state, and a threat to a rule-based global order.

bugger the states, deal with the UK and Europe

Canada's clear and firm rhetoric against Trump is commendable.\nGlobal developments indicate that public opinion is no longer uninformed as it was two decades ago and is now closely following international affairs.\nThe United States must abandon its policies of threats, sanctions, and war, which it pursues through the use of terrorism as a tool and outsourcing in the terror industry.\nThe international community, in support of Canada's stance, must make Washington realize that a shift in its global approach is imperative; otherwise, it should prepare itself for international sanctions.

Just like mad dog Mattis said “if you don’t fund the state department fully, I need to buy more ammunition”

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

FORD, TURN THE SWITCH OFF NOW! LET TRUMP EAT HIS AGGRESSIVE BULLING THREATS TO CANADA. LET THOSE STATES AFFECTED BY THE SHUTOUT BE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY FOR AT LEAST 90 DAYS.

As a Canadian - Trumps 'brilliance' has done one thing for sure, it's aligned all of the provinces against our neighbor and former ally the United States. It's done something we ourselves have had difficulty with - gaining support from Quebec. The overwhelming vast majority of Canadians don't trust the US anymore, as the legal justification for the tariffs is absolute bull, and is a pretext for Trumps actions. My family has cancelled all US travel, in my case 2 trips this year worth 15K to the US. I will miss Vegas for my 60th. We used to shop in WA State weekly; last year I spent 11K in WA State, and routinely took in shows in Seattle. No more. \n\nCan anyone please explain why Trump is screwing over Americans? Seriously.

I dont know. Twice , Ive met Canadians down here in the states. And right off both times they were complete assholes to me. Not just me.but our country The one guy I tried make friendly conversation and I mentioned I was going to a race tomorrow and he goes off on America and their racing , americans and their gasoline.Liked he walk here lmao..what an asshole..just rude ..I dont feel bad for Canada one bit. Both times...ASSHOLES!

How Fkn Stupid is our Leadership?!?! \nIt all makes sense if you consider that Trump is trying to Destroy the United States relationships!!!! \nhes CLEARLY PICKING FIGHTS!!!!

The U.S. is no longer the sugar daddy of the world why don’t you understand! The disrespect to President Trump is ridiculous from this woke socialist idiot! This is about equality and showing the respect of the country that drives your economy and protects your borders! Trudeau like the American left has swore to the woke religion, and the destruction it has inflicted on our country especially the last four years is over! Start showing respect to your closest ally or find yourself the 51st state if you keep FAFO! MAGA/MURICA!❤

NOBODY IS STATING THE OBVIOUS!! Trump flip-flps on stuff that effects the stock market. FBI needs to look into who dumped stocks before tariffs kicked in, and who buys stocks before he flip-flops AGAIN!! ???

So, why is it that this guy makes it seem like they haven't been taken advantage of the U.S. since they have been able to! He is also lying about that northern border, too. Russians have been illegally crossing into the U.S. thru Canada for years. I know it as fact bcuz I've met Russian truckers who told me how they originally came to the U.S. via Canada! It's easier up there bcuz that border isn't as secure as the southern border. I guarantee you their statistics for fentynal crossing in via Canada is wrong. Those are just the statistics for the fentynal they caught, not the shit they haven't caught! Tariffs shouldn't have had to be the reason for Canada to do their job. They should have already been doing their job at that border. Trump had to threaten them in order for them to use drones, etc. at the border. They should have been doing that. This shows that they were already taking advantage of the weak ass government who just left office. Maybe he should just become the 51st state to make it all much simpler!

He’s talking about 25% tax on $150B but Elon saved the United States 100% on $105B in one month. As a wise man once said, “You don’t have the cards.”

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.

I sincerely apologize for the MAGA Republicans that appear to have lost their minds. Why so many people support a wannabe dictator, I do not know. Why so many people failed to vote, I do not know. I hope this does not last long. Frankly, it's already gone too far. I live in Minnesota. We as a State we deeply appreciate Canada, our neighbors to the North.

Orange chimp wants to make it his vassal state. Whichever way that croaks dies will be too good for him

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

If I were Russia, I would take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the West and fill the gap left by the United States. Begin trading more than ever before, selling cheap energy, and doing anything to fill the void left by the US.

Not the United States sir ….Donald trump … and I will suffer his rath. I did not vote for him

I used to believe that the United States was a first world country. I was wrong.

Maybe Canada can absorb the United States as a province. I trust Canada to support all her people.

This is how a state men respond. With intelligence and integrity ??????

GOD SAYS …..UNITED STATES WILL SAVE CANADA AND BOOT ? OUT Trudeau AND THERE ELITES THAT CONTROLS THEM THE TARRIFFS ARE TO GET THE EVIL OUT OF CANADA

What do the united states gets from Canada

The excuse Trump is looking for - especially on energy and minerals - he will come and he will take what he wants. Trump has stated that for Greenland and Panama and is pretty much demonstrating what he is willing to do to get minerals from Ukraine. Toughen your US border - the military is coming...

AMERICAN here. I see every comment here that disrespects the United States of America. The threats made by the Canadian government. To EVER use the word WAR in ANYTHING involving the US, especially with threats, is EXACTLY why this needs to happen. You forget yourselves. Especially YOU Prime Minister Trudeau, referring to the POTUS by Donald? ?? YOU do not address America except through our state department. And you better pray it's not via the Department Of Defense.

To all you leftists in the comments. Go to Canada if you support them over the United States.

Ambassador Joe Kennedy wanted to appease A. Hitler\n\nWhen that news got back to\nA REAL President of the United States within A few hours Joe Kennedy was told to pack up the kids you're relieved as Ambassador.\n\nThis new CEO of the Federal Government should be impeached immediately for Treason, Dereliction of Duty, and putting every American man, woman, & child in harms way. \n\nThis crook Rapist Tax Fraud\nshould be relieved of Duty as soon as possible he's obviously gone way to far.

I hope some United-States citizens will listening and try to understand what our Canadian Prime Minister explain here!! Those tarifs are not good for ??and ??!!\nThey have to open their minds, their eyes!

This Trump madness has to stop, he is turning the US into a rogue state with no compassion or decency!

The United States should become Canada's 11th Province.

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

Blue state voter here. The fight you fight is for us. Thank you!

Why should America always bring a female contender to the presidency each time the world is in chaotic state? The last time they brought Hillary Clinton and that's why DT won, and again they brought Kamala and the idiot won again, we'd preferred old sleeping Joe than this lunatics JDT & JDV

Wow! I would rather hear what this guy has to say more than the idiot in chief. DON’T WATCH THE STATE OF THE UNION.

Trump can't prove that these drugs are coming through Canada unseen. This is only designed to destabilize The United States so that we are forced into dealing with Putin and Russia. Don't forget, Trump said he wants to extend his Presidency past this term and the next. His goal is to become like Putin. To become a dictator. Don't lose sight of what is to come. Do not just focus on what is happening today.

While donal leaves the citizens of the united states of America stranded, Canada declared to stand with hers ❤?

This is even more of a reason why the United States should not be dependent on any country. We need to build in this country. We need to manufacture in this country, but all businesses take the shortcut and go where it's cheapest and in the long run. It cost us, but this is typical Americans. Short-term game, now it's catching up.
