I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

Mind you trump wants the whole of canada as a state of US

canada is not a friend to the US, canada is a leach who takes as much as they can expecting the US to spend on their military so canada will be protected while spending money on their socialist programs. Living in the 51st state I hope this idiot ford and trudeau cause Trump to take over this state sooner than later....

Correct me if I am wrong. Ain’t there more drugs from the United States going into Canada than the other way around.

What doesn't make sense is the United States has now become a dictatorship apparently..... Few people actually understanding or are behind what the apparent dictator is doing...

The Governor of the Great State of Canada is speaking against his President. The United States truly believes in its first amendment for free speech.?

I support you Canada, alllll the way from Florida. It’s heart breaking the state of my nation.

The American people hear you! We know exactly to where to pin blame. ??one more thing! This will go over big at his State of the Union speech.

Canada is a sovereign nation.It will never be a fifty first state trump pay attention

Trump wants Canada's resources, but doesn't want to pay for them. So, he's bullying them into becoming the 51st state. It seems pretty straightforward?

Please ?? pray for Canada and the United States because we’re in this mess together because of this wannabe dictator !

Quit whine Canada or next week you will be a state of America

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

This is really gonna kill a lot of small online businesses that do commerce with the United States. We have a small stationary company that is just gonna die.

Now is the time for the world imposes trade sanctions on the Russian proxy state that is the USA.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Canada has been ripping United States for many years. And Trudeau is a crooked politician

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

Canada => 51st state! ??

Please yo all in here, I'll ask to stop at use America just to the United States, that's an insult to all other countries in the American continent, use your term as United States or gringos, thank you!

Just become the 51st state already

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

How can anyone in the world trust the United States government. Your Golden Age will certainly turn into the Dark Ages with your tactics ??

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.

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Bla bla bla.... the gravy train is over! God bess the United States of America, and God bless president Donald J. TRUMP!

Trump is mafis Russa the enemy of the unite state

United States did not start this trade war. Trump and the Republican Party did and I’m so sorry Canada because you don’t treat a friend and neighbor like that !

Trumps a absolute disgrace to the United States

Thank you sir you are a celebrated states man

with freedom comes responsibility, with choice comes consequences.\nthis is what you get when you choose a treasonous scumbag for president. one false thing here is calling donald a smart man. i have never known of a smaller, more arrogant, more stupid, less qualified sad excuse of a man-child than the orange idiot. as a veteran commissioned officer of the united states of america, i, unlike our president, am bound by the oath i swore at my commissioning. i am ashamed of my nation for allowing a treasonous scum to sell our county

I don’t care WHO & WHAT you voted for…this is a sad day in the United States of America. ??

The worst part about this is - Canada has the population of like the state of California - we might as well be a state

This is the very beginning of the United States fall. this seems like Tyler Perry TV show the oval. Trump is trying to enslave the American people by disassociating other countries so the American people won’t have anywhere to run. He’s trying to be like Putin a dictator. Trump has to go. He’s not a smart businessman. He’s not for the American people.?????

Trudeau has an election and the United States did not start a trade war!! It wants you to stop!! The flow of drugs

Trump is losing favour in Canada too. Many supported him until the 51st state rhetoric started. Now he's actually allowing Trudeau to stay in power longer. The trade war is allowing Trudeau to stay relevant.\nTrump should have said I'm not dealing with Canada until Trudeau resigns!

It is not the people of the United States who are doing this outrageous betrayal to our good friends in Canada. It is the evil people in control of our nation.

An easy way out for Canada is just accepting faith and join as a state of the USA ???

I never thought I’d see the day when the President of the United States would launch a trade war against a staunch ally & friend, while sucking up to the murderous Russian dictator Putin. Stand strong Canada, the free world - what’s left of it - support & stand with you! ❤❤❤

It is not the United States that wants a Trade War with Canada, it is Donald Trump!~

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Trump and his real President 'Mucks' (sic) we absolutely hate u and your electorate for the decimation and fascism you are inflicting on the world ... from UK a distant cousin and now a disaster 'crash and burn' waiting to happen.. ur delirious (Gaza Riviera, Canada 51st state, Greenland, Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal) ..fork off to the right

Not everyone in the United States of America stands with trump, my family didn't vote for him and can't stand him, we stand with Canada and Ukraine!

From Kentucky... These tariffs are a lose-lose situation all around for everyone. And.when you mess with my state's bourbon industry, Trump, then you'll be persona non grata here in the Bluegrass State.

Trump wants to break Canada weakening them to make them the 51st state. Canada there are other markets to trade with. Companies are going to move from the US and with them so will your trade route.

No, the United States did not start a trade war. DONALD TRUMP started the trade war. May he burn in hell,

Make Canada Great Again. Be the 51 state of the United States.

If Mark Carney gets elected as our next Prime Minister, nothing would make me happier than if he kept Justin Trudeau in his cabinet as Canada's new ambassador to the United States.
