Since I cannot trust anything our president says, let's connect some dots. \n\nIt appears this is a war about resources: Canada has, oil, rare earth minerals, and lithium. If the U. S. Can bring Canada to its knees through economic means rather than force, it's still War. \n\nI'm hoping Canada finds other markets for its products and basically says fu to the U. S. Exports markets to Europe duty free. I hope Europe responds to Canada in a positive way, which I'm sure they will.

Canada is showing us the way to follow. I hope that the boycott will also gain momentum here and that our governments will kick US companies off our soil.

Trudeau is on his way out, and he knows it. Canadians hate him. We all saw that change could come through elections. Make Canada Great Again.

I am fearful for what Trump wants to do here. We should never be provoking our border countries. Seems like an act of war. Also, guaranteed we need to work on addiction issues in our own country. Fentanyl doesn’t just come from borders. And I am sure Canada hasn’t enough crossing from their borders that is hurting us! F T rump!

Can't wait now to hear tonight the criminal orange blob whining in short incoherent sentences about his problems and about how he's been unfairly treated.\nWhat a stark difference between an intelligent coherent leader and a narcissistic sociopath moron. Go Canada!!

I thought it was a reciprocal tax? Canada charges 25% so the US is charging 25%? Did i miss something?

Thank you, Canada, and Mexico for standing up to a bully government ?? ? ??❤️

I agree with everything PM JT said, except one thing: Trump is not a smart man (even by Florida standards).\n\nWe as Europeans should stand by our Canuck friends like they have stood with us! Sign a free trade agreement with Canada! They are steadfast, reliable, fierce friends. Uncle Sam clearly has brain rot.

Pay your debts, Canada. We will work on paying ours that our stupid politicians and bureaucrats have stolen and given to our enemies.

Very disrespectful speach. Calling trump dumb and calling him donald. This pipsqueek leader will harm his own economy. U.S can absorb the impact. Canada will go into recession

Shove it Canada!

He didn't mention how what he implemented actually helped with combating the Drugs Americans were smuggling into Canada. Kinda classy he didn't deflect like like the Americans do.

I literally rebuilt our patio after The Oakfire. The lumber used.....ftom canada. ❤ Thank you canada

Much support to Canada. I hope our president also stands up against racist imperialist Trump. We know that Donald does not represent the majority of American. Let's stand together against Donald and his billionaire friends ??????

Thank you Canada from Florida ❤

United States should takeover Canada by force it would be all too easy

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

We should NEVER be in ANY sort of warfare with Canada, a country I love as if it were my 2nd home. This breaks my heart.\nLove yall.\nIm sorry and embarassed. I used to be proud of my own country. Its very hard to feel pride right now.\n-USA

I hope your viewers note that the majority of illegal guns and most of the Cocaine coming into Canada all cross the US Border, where are the US actions to stop these items coming into our country?

Bravo Justin, we love Canada and we stand with you. Looking forward to increasing our trade with your country as well as with Mexico, China and all other potential partners, the US are not the center of the world. A French citizen.

canada you must pay,,,your evil,,,,,,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pGjodsk2_M

I don't like Canada we should ride with Russia and send something over there and it won't be no Canada ?? ??‍♂️

I'm so sorry Canada - most of us here can't stand Trump and didn't vote for him. Please forgive this offensive betrayal of our countries' historical friendship

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

American here, we stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe! Not Russia. PLEASE STOP TARIFFS

Very sad day, huge mistake. Canada doesn’t deserve this?

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…

I guess Trump is doing something he wants to invade Canada

Trump also needs to remember this, Canada is a commonwealth country . They do not stand alone

lol cnn sux so does Canada Trump put 100 % tariff stop sending money to Canada stop protecting Canada…. 51st state…

Trump wants to invade Canada I'm sure it will happen

Go Team Canada ????????????????

I hate being an American. I did what I could but failed. Countrymen voted against it, and well .. we are now all in this hell together. Left stuck and upset at all of this. I am proud of Canada and wish we had a more capable leader. I am so sorry to everyone else. Know its not everyone in america follows the goons about.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Best thing to come out of Canada is Bryan Adams

Many americans might want to move to Canada because of Trump's authoritarian ambitions. Aligning with Putin, Trump will seek to learn more about how to be an effective dictator and kleptocrat.

Shame on America, dumb decisions being made. Cancelling my holiday there. And I am not from Canada.

From South Carolina, we love you Canada, Ukraine and Europe. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH on our behalf!❤❤❤

As an American, do what yall gotta do Canada. Unfortunately we are under a dictatorship and the feckless GOP won't stop him.

thank you for fighting back, Canada, please help us Americans fight back too #dumpTrump

Hello Canada. Can I live with you please!!!

Very well spoken Canada ‼️‼️‼️. What a great leader . Our hands are tied for now . They are evil‼️

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

Stand strong Canada We Americans are with you and Mexico ❤\nI think Canada will miss him he's a good man who loves his country

His only mistake was saying Trump is smart lolll i support Canada

You know it’s bad when Canada set aside its hate of Trudeau for trump.

We don’t want this either Canada, at least not the majority of us. I’m sorry for the mess we’ve brought to you and hope our government can move swiftly to “correct” this issue that is the orange blob in the White House

Well, if what DT has done this to Canada, which essentially hurts American consumers, WHY is Trudeau doing the same thing to his Canadian citizens? ?

Im an American and I support President Trump. to the leaders of Canada, have you brought your very best to the negotiating table? no one wants tariffs, but we also want fair trade.

All you have to do Canada is secure your borders but no you want to run your mouth
