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.

Relax Canada, it’s not personal. Trade with Europe, Trump wants big business to come setup in the USA where they will pay no tariffs. It’s not you it’s us. Make America Great ??

So proud of Canada

Thank you, Canada. For having a spine and a sense for right and wrong. And for having grace and kindness while being resolute as frock..

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!!

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.

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

Maybe Canada should buy Florida and kick out all the bully dictators.

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 ❤

Go Canada!

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

Never thought that South Park blame Canada stuff from the movie would become reality in my adulthood jeez

Supper speech! Love ? to Canada / you have 750 million people in Europe as friends !

Wow, this is an American President who can talk coherently. I suggest that Canada invites all US-American States who still have a sane sense to join the United States of Canada. I bet, the world would be in a better state if we had leaders like President Trudeau. Chose between a babbling and overtaxed old man and an intelligent man who makes sense!\n(Should I have made any spellings mistakes, it's probably because English is not my native language, so please hold back on your hatred you trolls out there. At least I speak other languages ;)

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

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?

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

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.

A mazing Presidente from Canada, very sadness is us, we haven't Presidente Dictator and traitor to our Country..???

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‼️

Hepe for tighter relationship with Canada as European citizen.

Thank you Canada for standing up to the idiocy of trump.\nThere is mounting and clear evidence that trump and his enablers stole our election through suppression of legitimate American voter’s votes…. And manipulation of voter machines…\nThe evidence is overwhelming…Trump is a #PutinPuppet and he is Putin’s useful idiot.\nThe majority of us Americans love our Canadian friends and neighbors.\n??❤️?❤️??

American here, Canadians are our neighbors and friends. It is understood that Trumps actions will hurt all of us. We know that Canada must take action. Prime Minister Trudeau is a wise leader. I respect his actions.

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

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

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

Trump sucks and he is making America HATED, HATED, AND HATED!!! FROM MAINE I STAND WITH YOU CANADA????? Trump is buddies with Russia and China and cares zippo for the people ohh except for the rich who buys his golden bibles and her golden toys, yuppers I now know what true HATE IS ABOUT ???
