Bro, just stop drugs coming in from your border

You go PM Trudeau - America needs you more than Canada needs America. If America wanted to stop drug movement, it should have gone after those drug thugs instead of going after identifiable by color, hard working men, women and children.

Stop the drugs coming in. Pay your fair share. Then we’ll talk. You had time to do something about this and you didn’t obviously. Maybe you should tax/ rob your citizens harder so that you can continue to live like royalty. You’re not interested in doing what is best for prosperity in Canada. If you were this wouldn’t be an issue

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

The tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl coming over the border, that's just another lie. DT doesn't give a fig if Americans die as a result of drug addiction. Have you ever heard him talk with compassion about how to actually help drug addicts in this country? This is about control, and power, and it's personal. He is a menace to all and we gotta stop him.

Maybe Trump should work to stop the illegal flow of guns and drugs in to Canada lol

Chuck Zito, the former head of Hells Angels thinks his longtime friend, Donald Trump is greatest president America ever had. He attended Trump's court hearing. To stop drug trafficking, you have to investigate money laundering. I'm not sure how committed Donald is to this important aspect of the war against fentanyl.

Simple equalize trade dollar for dollar and stop the drug traffic. Soon Canada will be using the Peso.

As American, We can’t help neighbors who don’t want to help us stop murdering our citizens with drugs. America shall stay strong and have victory because they doing what’s right and fair. God bless America and president Trump.

Stop the drugs from crossing your border in to the US Justin!!! You brought on yourselves with your lax liberal policies and weak border guarding.

Ok, forget the drugs. Take back your Canadian dimes and the tarrifs will stop.\n\nOn a serious note: the White House has done a poor job at explaining the tarrif discrepancy between our two nations.

Trump and Vance are traitors and puppets of Putin. This disgraceful, unwarranted behavior is only happening to create the false impression of stopping illegal drugs entering the US, WHILE SYSTEMATICALLY LOOTING THE US TREASURY ON BEHALF OF THE OLIGARKS AND CORPORATE THIEVES WHO ARE BANKROLLING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

JUst stop the illegal migration and drugs at the border...simple

How is anybody stopping the drug flow when hospitals prescribe it or give it to or use in surgeries? Make it make sense

Somewhat right but not exactly right. According to Trump admin, Trump is actually trying to stop the circumvention of Chinese goods and Chinese drugs coming from Canada. Trudeau promised Trump to work on the drug issue, but I guess he did not if we are seeing the significant import tax on Canada now. And come on Trudeau, you dislike Trump and aren't exactly his friend. You talked back on him on many international stages. Anyways, I wish you two get along eventually and hope the same for US and Canada.

Canada said they are our friends but only stoped the drugs when they were threatened. Why did it take that to stop the supply of drugs to your so called friends. We should have never had to threaten you to help a friend. I hope we keep the tariffs. Canada can sale that wolf ticket to someone else.

USA wants drug trafficking to stop

Stop calling it fentinal and call it what it is DRUGS . When are we going to start hitting them back about all the drugs coming into Canada not to mention all the guns that are so easily obtained in the states which are illegal here. Also put import taxes on imported goods from the US. This tax to be paid by the seller make it income for Canada and not an expense.

Stop allowing drugs from coming over the Canadian border.

We should never have ....all this happen with bill Clinton.... USA.... accept production Canada ...mexico....part of bill Clinton... USA should stop any production Canada....see who got lose........all this trades happen with bill Clinton........zero. Production come from Canada.....I don't care.....any about Canada...... USA have tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo destriction...in production from Canada ....mexico.......they know stupid Justin.......canada don't him no more .....canada have homeless in drug's........stupid Justin

Trudeau, what a knob head. He’s hated by everyone, he’s a dictator ….. remember the truckers protest? Stopping bank accounts because they didn’t want to take a vax? Why did it take sanctions for you to stop the drugs? You’re a shit

Maybe the US should try to figure out why so many of its citizens are using fentanyl and other hard drugs. They're blaming other countries instead of addressing the actual issue of addiction and the market for those drugs. Maybe stop buying the stuff and there wouldn't be a market for it...

Why isn't Canada doing anything to stop illicit drugs in their Country. That's what this is about. Trump is America First and I won't apologize for that. \nTrudeau is talking like he has some kind of power over the U.S. Not very smart Canada will go broke if they don't comply with Trump's reques to shut down drug trafficking in Canada that comes across our border. \nFentanyl is still detected in an overwhelming majority of illicit drug deaths in Canada, according to PHAC, but the unpredictability and potency of other substances mixed in with the fentanyl are making the supply more dangerous. \nMexican cartels are operating fentanyl and nitazene synthesis labs in Canada. \nA recent study recognized Canada’s heightened domestic production of fentanyl, and its growing footprint within international narcotics distribution. \nCanada-based drug trafficking organizations maintain robust “super labs,” mostly in rural and dense areas in western Canada, some of which can produce 44 to 66 pounds of fentanyl weekly.

Stop all drugs and illegals from the USA then he will remove it

Maybe if your country would stop letting drugs come threw your boarders into the US we wouldn’t have to do this, Justin talks all this game about being nice and wanting to work together, get he lets the cartels bring drugs threw there county. We making deals else where because Justin refuses to actually work together. He can say whatever he wants but it doesn’t change the facts.

Closest ally that allows China inroads into the hemisphere through business and drugs. Yeah right. Those tariffs are reciprocity tariffs. As in we are charging YOU exactly what you are charging US. Stop the imbalance and the tariffs go away. BOOHOO so unfair!

When a drug addict talks about stopping the flow of drugs his government oversees???????

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

There is forever an effort to stop smugglers when it's more than evident that the solution is to stop the demand for illegal drugs. No demand, and the crisis stops,bottom line.

As I have said many times, Trump has opened a big ass can of of worms, you wont stop Armorican drug addicts, there's legal drug labs in the U.S. and the U.S. make fentanyl in the U.S., his on a economic suicide missions, sense his first rodeo, most drugs dont go over a fence, most drugs caught, go through the Legal Ports of entry and most smuggler cought at the legal port of entry are Americans and people who can cross the border legally, not illegally, not illegal aliens nor asylum

Pfffttt. Stop the drug flow and tariffs will stop. Pretty simple.....

Trump and the cult are nothing trying to stop fentanyl in Huron or any drugs because they are on them and their family

Stop allowing drugs and illegals enter the USA! America does not do that to your country! The tariffs should pay for your mistakes!

Stop flowing Fetanyl into our country. If you are a friend and ally why have you allowed thousand and thousand of Americans to die from drug overdose. What a ridiculous press conference. You haven't done anything to fight against illegal immigrants and drugs.

It’s for a reason dude, stop letting in drugs and illegal immigration’

This guy is a lier, im in the mission, and their is drug over dose everyday, they r stopping nothing

Stop the drugs. Pay your way. So simple. Idiotic response.

I hope Trudeau says fuck it. Lets save the 1.2 Billion for the people of canada. Forget about the border. Lets the drugs and illegals get in the US and dont stop it. No need for a border plan. We were doing just fine before.

Then stop the drugs and illegals coming into the USA. Canada has the decision to side with illegal activity or work with the USA. He is a joke and hurting the Canadians.

fentanyl is a legal drug made by our drug companies. its abused and used illegally. maybe stop listening to a man that cant not lie.

If drugs are the problem (they´re NOT on the Canadian border), how about if more people in US be responsible and stop taking them !?

What's America doing to stop their illegal flow of drugs and guns into Canada. 6-8 weeks ago, our Canadian border services seized 900kg of cocaine crossing the Detroit border!

Trudeau would not agree to stop Fentanyl coming across Border so now you Canadians are paying the price just a thought do you think trudeau is getting kickbacks for the drug trade if not why would he not stop illegal drugs?

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Not a single mention of them stopping the money laundering from the drug cartels though.

Stop all this crying and fix the border, close down all the industrial level drug labs littered all over Canada and close the Chinese police stations

Simple. Stop harboring drug traffickers, Canada, and we make trade easy again.

Supply and demand. Tell Americans to stop taking drugs then there will be no demand

Remember when this same fellow froze protesters bank accounts and began collecting peoples weapons? Yet, he has the gull to talk about dictators. Trump actually wants to avoid WWIII and I hope what his administration does will bring an end to the war. Though, I do agree he should be more tough on Putin. That being said, I do agree that the crossings from Canada are not nearly as significant as compared to our southern border. It would be nice to see more from Canada in their investments to secure the border and stop crossings, cartel movements, and drug operations. The US has spent more than 409 billion since 2003 on such operations. Regardless, I feel for you Canadians and it sucks that it has come to this and I hope we keep strong relations in the future. Hopefully we can come to a fair deal soon. Mexico and China are the big players that do not do nearly enough to prevent these crimes. In fact, the Mexican government helps the cartels by not trying to stop them. China's lack of regulation on the ingredients to make fentanyl contribute to a large extent to this tragedy as well.
