So you guys want to listen to this guys the guy who destroyed Canada ? the one who let all the Indians in and make homes unaffordable.

Shame on CNN supporting 51st state (namely Canada). They will end up being in recession! Stop fentanyl or you will face consequences!

Pay for your own defence Canada.

As an American I say do what you need to do. I stand with Canada. I'm so sorry this is happening ?

We love you Canada glorious and free !

I am an American but I stand with Canada. The Trump administration is destroying our country. We the people need to take our country back.

None of this ever had to happen. A whole bunch of people are going to suffer because of this dumb thing. People in both Canada and the US will suffer and it has no benefit, certainly not to us tax revenue

As an American I am so disgusted by this country that they voted in this monster and I wake up every day afraid of what horrors await us from the oval office. Much respect to Canada for fighting back, these tariffs will serve nobody.

Canada Mexico global drug hub terrorist hub

This is very WEAK by this President. President Trump was voted in by The Majority of Americans. We The People are tired of Not coming 1st. Canada is only weaker because of this speech. Weak.

We asked for Canada to control the border, they did not. The tariff came after this request was denied. Canadians should be concerned about dangerous people coming through their country to get to the US. I hope your government shows more concern for your welfare as our president does for ours!???

Well idk my market is going up very nice today. Also we can make every Canadian goods at home so that there is no weight to his words in my eyes. I do say if Canada is doing all these measures though it would be nice to come to an agreement with Canada. To be friends with neighbors is always better than not being friends. So overall I'm kinda torn between it all. We don't need Canada to be honest but just because we don't need them does not mean we should not work with them. Very tuff situation at this moment.

I fail to understand what more was expected of canada... Such reneging on deals will make others reluctant to make deals in the future.

Californian here, so when should we expect for groceries to go up more now? I already notice yesterday gas was at 5.03. I still support Canada making us feel the wrath.

Hahaha. Canada has zero power in the world. And all we are asking for is equal treatment. Pay the tariffs or eliminate ours.

Cheers to Gen. Wesley Clark from Canada who is telling you like it is, underlining the security risk Trump and his administration pose to us all.

Oh Canada

Mad respect to Canada for standing up to their southern neighbors who have clearly gone completely off the rails.

Bravo to Canada from Austria! We have to work together now more than ever.

Dang Canada has a good leader

That is how a leader speaks!! He was succinct, armed with actual facts, eloquent and effective…all that and he didn’t need to sell a stupid hat or crypto coin. It’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. We stand with Canada!??

What does the Trump administration do to stop the flow of Fentanyl into Canada? Surely it is not a one-way flow.

Americans stand with Canada. The majority are against this Dump regime. Canada and Mexico are our neighbors.

As a brit i support Canada.

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trumo. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorable in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

TRUMP HAS NO BRAINS. SO CANADA CANNOT BE FOOLED BY HIS POLICIES. SADLY VERY SOON US WILL BECOME 3 RD WORLD COUNTRY. IF THE CHINESE PULL THE SOVEREIGN BONDS OUT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO US. CANADA WE CAN STAND ON OUR OWN WITH ALL GOD GIVEN RESOURCES AMEN.

Canada should put up the price of gas, electric and oil all going into America!

Oh canada you smell the dirty fess

Lmao we will dump on Canada. What are y’all gonna do. Throw picky dust at us. Y’all are nothing without America. Learn your roll it’s not up front. Get in the back and shut up little girl

I’m with Canada!! I’m embarrassed to say Trump is my President. So I don’t.

Canada owes America billions! Drugs have nothing to do with this.

Europe is close to Canada! Trump administration is a complete disaster. Wake up, USA!

I'm an American, and I support Canada in doing what they have to do to push back on trump/Republican insanity. I know as a senior on social security that I will be hurt by the push back. I will eat less and drive less, but I don't care -- Canada is doing the right thing.

You go Canada give the orange Bully back his own crying because.\nThe power grid might shut down Washington and make 1965 and 1967 blackout look small.\nYou can also blow the grid and repairs will cost the us government

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

Canada join Canada, France, Germany and UK

Actual title: “Powerless loser tries to look tough by announcing that Canada will lose trade war against the U.S.”

I’m more convinced Canada is more drug & greed corrupt than Mexico. I don’t believe anything he say & pray for my Canadian brothers & sisters under the nasty regime.

As an American, i always want to support my country, but when they are attacking an ally and friend for absolutely no reason, i have no choice but to hope that Canada stands strong against Trumps bullying.

Canada was training with our enemies. They let the Chinese military backdoor the United States and we won't stand for it. The line has been drawn.

As an American I stand with Canada !!!!!❤

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

But all the people crying live in the US and not Canada for some reason???

Well done Canada. Don`t ever be bullied by people like Trump .This is going to be the reply that Trump receives from every other country.America need to get up off their backsides and get rid of Trump and Musk.

As an American I did not vote for him or what he is doing to us all. God bless our wonderful neighbor Canada and God help us here in America.

From the netherlands, Go Canada! Lets indeed not forget that there are lots of good americans, and americans who felt in comrade Trumps Lies. Stay safe!

wish I have good neighbor like Canada

South Africa stands with Canada

With these tariffs and lack of diplomacy with Ukraine we will probably see US Companies start moving to Canada, as well as foreign partners of US switching to Canada. Trump is too chaotic and disruptive, which is awful for any company wanting to grow in the US.

Well done Canada ??. It is time to stand up to bullies and unite with true allies that respect you and treat you with dignity. We seem to be dealing with a deranged madman who should be seeking proper medical treatment in a special medical facility, not ranting and raving in the Oval Office. Call it treason, corruption, greed, weakness, mental instability, cognitive decline, bullying, aggression, spitefulness, vengeance - the only person who should be considering resigning is the out-of-his-depth overpromising & under deliverer convicted sexual felon in the Oval Office who is p!ssing into the tent not out of it, with regards to your old allies.
