Hasn't Canada had tariffs on U.S good for years? Is it equal in any sort?

US and Canada are friends and allies, to talk is the way to solve our disputes.

Canada, you've got Europe as your closest ally now. America has its constitution and its democracy to defend now. ????

The situation is this is just a reciprocal tariff, we're just making the playing field even, but the situation is, that everything we get from Canada we can actually do ourselves, and it's not the other way around

The majority of the American people stand with Canada over trump.

Canada and Europe must work together. Not let this Russian puppet have his way.

LOVE CANADA! I apologize for what that monster is doing! People here will be hurt financially, but perhaps that is a lesson that those who voted for that person needs to learn!? God bless CANADA!

From Puerto Rico ??, I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? .

Ahhhh poor DEMS, maybe you all should move to Canada, with the others

?? Awesome response Canada! ??

We want Canada to be one among our states.

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

I’m a stolen African native of Judah but I stand with Canada f America

As a American I stand with Canada f trump vans and musk make them pay

He need to go right now . He has destroyed Canada so badly and don’t come out and BS anymore ???

Why did Trudeau say that about Putin? He goes along with the eu propaganda. Putin is a good man and would of been a good friend to Canada. Trump knows this. Get a book or two,Trudeau, and think for yourself instead of what the eu tells you to say. Thats a fail.

Trudeau ruined Canada, what exactly does he have to say that should ever be taken at face value?

Hopefully, Trump gives Canada an offramp... Make it simple, Canada drops ALL tariffs on US goods, and we do the same. Canada has had significant tariffs on some US goods that go back many years. This is unacceptable.

Canada is, indeed, worth fighting for.

I love Canada, and it's strong people!

Gee. Can't believe a guy who filed for bankruptcy 7 times is ruining the economies of the Western Hemisphere. Quelle surprise! Stand strong, Canada.

First thing I've liked from Canada!!!!! Hell yeah Trudea!!!!! Trump SUCKS!!!!! LONG LONG LIVE UKRAINE ??

It sounds like someone didn’t prepare themselves well enough for negotiation. Now Canada has to live with the consequences, because of its government’s lack of strategic positioning.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

I'm from Canada, Trump wants to destroy us, he is a bully, Trump deserves everything he gets and I hope it hurts him good.I am very touched to see the support of the world for Canada thank you's

Oregon supports Canada

A great speech. Canada's finest hour.

From Slovakia I saltue you, dear Canada,stand up to this Orange mad man!

Donald Duck Trump MESS IT ALL UP! THIS OLD ORANGE MAN was voted by the blinded Americans. He's a puppet of a dictator. A cowardly leader who doesn't deserve the position in the oval office. He's full of greed and selfishness. Your GREAT KARMA WILL COME SOON!☝️☝️☝️\nBlame all of these to TRUMP, JD VANCE, ELON MUSK and their American supporters. You will reap what you sow. It may not be now, but in the future.☝️ You'll regret what you did.\n\n???I WILL STAND FOR MY COUNTRY, CANADA! WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE NATION. THE ENTIRE CANADIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL OTHER NATIONS AGAINST THE NARCISSIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Weldone Canada ??

We are very sorry he is doing this to Canada.

We're just treating Canada the way they've treated us. Tariff for tariff.

Maga wants blood! Not reason! The mad man has planted the seed of superiority in their narrow minded thick minds! They believe Canada is part ?? and maga! Canadians you better buckle up and prepare yourselves for this wolf isn't stopping! He is willing to destroy everything in his path if he cannot have it! Canada you like or not you are the front line and flag barriers of the free world! ?? has fallen.

Trudeau talking about dictator!! That's a freaking joke he has literally destroyed Canada!

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

All my support from France to Canada. Democracies that are true to their values need to neuter Trump. There is no other way. Being a felon, a fraud and a sexual predator wasn't enough. He also had to become a threat to the world order that has stood firm since 1945. He and his boss Putin belong in jail.

Trudeau is hellbent on ruining Canada it seems

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

As an angry American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Well done, Prime Minister Trudeau!?

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

Trudeau is a has been.. Canada has no leadership right now until an election. Dont worry USA Canada will be fine.

I stand with Canada! Trump is not our PRESIDENT HE IS A CRIMINAL! IMPEACH HIM!

Trudeau..A real leader. Thank you guiding us through this dark days. Greetings from an EU civilian. CANADA WE LOVE YE!

Leaders need to address each other with respect and avoid fighting,it ain't cool when we see these two biological brothers Canada and USA fighting in a trade war,instead of fighting they should calm down and negotiate.

Good for CANADA. We stand with you????????????

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

He left out how Canada was already charging the United States 300% tariffs… So did CNN… go figure… Enjoy getting wrecked Canada ?

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Canada, we are with you! Bahamas ??
