Trump is just a liar. These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s all comes from trump having no clue what running a country requires do he is just acting like a tuff guy to assuage his ego. He only ran to stay out of prison. Facts matter \nLike the fact there was 14000 deaths last year from fentanyl in USA. Not 10 million. Fact In the last 10 years there has been 1.1 million deaths. Also only 0.01 % comes across the Northern border. We will deal with Europe and Asia and leave America alone like the rest of the world.

Dump America and export, import from EU ))). If nothing lse, they need all the oil you can supply. )))

Just bann all American products across canada, develop your partnerships with Mexico and Central America countries. They have the rigth of imposing whatever tariffs they want. See how Russia developed their own industry when all west companies left after the war. There is nothing better than those tariffs. For both parts. But, if you want to give your but, keep giving it to them.

Trump is an ENEMY to the well being of the United States and the world. He is NOTHING but a Putin puppet, and he's going to destroy America's economy. WHY are we allowing it?

Trudeau - Trump is a traitor to the United States of America. He's under PUTIN'S thumb. Trump is PUTIN'S puppet. Real Americans will never bow down to RUSSIA. \n\nWe can't count on Trump for Nothing!! He's letting a South African Billionaire wreak havoc on American people and lives!!!\n\nThis is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

Done with America!!!...\n\nFentanyl HAS NOTHING to do with these Tariffs\n\nIts a SHOW for Russia ...\n\nRemember his PRIVATE meeting with Putty in Saudi, duh???\n\nYou'll be isolating YOURSELVES!!!!\n\nKing Donald strikes again MAGA\nWhat FOOLS!!!!\n\nPartner with Russia, USA!!!\n\nThe WORLD is a bigger playground.\nYou're OUTNUMBERED!!!

What is wrong with the American people here disrespecting America by supporting a country who shows nothing but disrespect and contempt to the American people and out Representatives? What is wrong with President Trump wanting things to be fair. Canada has charged the US a 25% tariff for years and that's acceptable I think not. They deserve a 25% tariff from America. Why do some Americans think it's acceptable to give America's hardworking tax dollars away to countries who show nothing but disrespect to United States what is wrong with you guys? America doesn't need to be everybody else's piggy bank we have our own people our own states to take care of own states to take care of.

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

This is what the ignorance of America MAGA voters wanted and now their ignorance and stupidity will bite them like never before. They learn nothing from Trump last failures and gave him another shot at fooling them again. This is on them for recession this Buffoon is about to put them through

trump and maga are not protectees of americans or america, they are only self serving.\nfentynel is bs, trumps candy man ronnie was doling out fentenyl right in the white house with no count maintained. no individual it was given to, nothing, except for the annual report, it was there during trump/maga admin. gone when they gone. there is a date it was given, to whoever? in the white house.

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.

Did he do the full list??? ?? just said they're building in Arizona. Tariff us nothing friend Donald ? ? Canadian spokesperson JT called him what?? This will be a rough ride 4sure JT. Could have just did the full list that was asked 2b done. ??‍♂️ NEW FLASH WORLD NORTH AMERICA WILL BE LOCK DOWN SOON. WHAT SIDE OF THE DOOR WILL U BE ON.???‍??

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

The world got used to paying nothing for decades \nNow Trump is collecting \n\nRespect America

If this clown ? what’s to tell Trump he’s wrong then admit all of the resources you been using from decades and America got nothing

This is beyond stupid. This will solve absolutely nothing except hurting everyone in North America.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

its crazy, potus wants us isolated , so he sell America to Russia like he sold it to Elon. THEY TRYING DESTROY US, LOOK THEY GOT PEOPLE IN PLACES THAT DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE JOB THEYGOT FOX HOST IN CHARGE OF THE MILITARY, THAT GOT A PATEL IN CHARGE OF FBI, THE GOT KENNEDY WHO LOOK LIKE HE ALWAYS SICK IN CHARGE OF THE HEALTH, THE FIRE ALL HALF FAA WHO WATCH OUR AIRPLANES THE FIRE PEOPLE WHO LOOK FOOD , THE FIRE WEATHER PEOPLE , (WAKE UP) I DONT KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING GOT UNALIVE AMERICA. REMEMBER THE CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT ALIMINATING HALF THE POPULATIION ,WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT S THE GAME PLAN . (THIS IS ON IN MY OPPINION NOTHING FACTUAL BUT MY OPPINION) ALLEGEDLY

SHUT off any energy going to America, do not do business with a criminal conman. NEVER. BOYCOTT America and buy only Canadian goods, nothing American. Boycott Costco.

It is time to understand Trump only exposes pretext that aren't really his concerned he just want to have an excuse to do what he wants to do and this is grabbing some resources punching external allies etcetera it is time to understand that nothing will please Donald Trump government so it is time to bypass America this is very sad for some of us that have made business with American businesses and companies it is not easy it is not good to overnight rethink everything because of that guy in the White House

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 sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

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

Im American and i don’t care about other countries. Im for America and only America. Ukraine has been taking and taking out money. Weapons and we get nothing. Yet the EU is going to get their money back, but not us. And Canada got that tariff because of the fentanyl that’s coming across you and the Chinese border. So I don’t care if Canada is mad

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

America or nothing

This is a president speaking. What America elected to the office of President is nothing but a puppet, a clown out for his own and his cronies interests.

Sir Trudeau must know by now that America does not have a leader in the sense of caring for its constituents. Our leaders are more aligned with oppression and destruction. Nothing more.

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Your stupid stop crying no more money for Canada.....im the people an they did it to you i buy nothing from you an i do an never done business with you....we are America free from your comments...an Putin i respect...so go find your money somewhere else...goodbye canada

Trump will be speaking (whining)to a joint session of Congress today,which will be nothing but lies and grievances, and nothing about helping Americans. Trump is not playing with a full deck,both mentally and politically .He has no idea what he's doing because he's incompetent. He lied to the American people and he will never makes America great again.

These countries complaining about the tariffs tells me that these tariffs are going to work in America's favor or these countries wouldn't be complaining about them. Trudy has nothing to say I am interested in.

When are we going to get rid of this Donald Trump America And Impeach the trouble Maker!!!!!!What has he got to lose nothing ,but we do...

Trump must be impeached—he must leave his post. Vance must go as well. These people have no place in the American government. They are destroying the country, undermining democracy, and dismantling everything America stands for.\n\nThey support terrorism, justify putin, and enable murder. The only thing they care about is money and personal gain—human lives mean nothing to them.

Trump supporters are not real Americans. They chose hate and racism over saving their own country This is not how you make America great. Nothing good will come from electing convicted felon and the wealthiest man on earth

Up until now I was only going to boycott America until the orange shlt had vacated, but since Americans have done nothing to stop this the boycott will be permanent. Sorry, but 2/3 of you are 100% responsible for this happening and 100% of you are doing nothing about it.

Putin has played Trump like a dumb orange fiddle. America, educate your people better. Too many of you , and I’ve worked with Americans for decades, know nothing of world politics or history except for the American dream mythology. Democrats need to learn how to run an election.Yes, Putin is rubbing his little paws together because he has destroyed post-World War II stability. America take your country back. Republicans, who are still sane, take your party back. History, if there is one, will not be kind to the Magas.

Signing anything with USA Of D.Trump is worth nothing. USA was great because of VALUES, without values it is a desert with buildings.\nMAGA == Make America Growing Absurdit

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

America you are only as good as your elected leadership, and by that metric we Canadians want nothing to do with you right now. You lost your way.

turdeau is not Canada's leader. The tariff's have nothing to do with Fentanyl and all do with getting all the auto sector moved to America.

What an absolute embarrassment to the citizens of America Trump is. Generations of unity with its allies mean nothing to this walking Cheeto.

Everything Trudeau said is true. The problem is trump is acting to destroy America as a functioning nation, likely out of love for OR fear of Vladimir Putin. Nothing else makes sense.

Until everyone begins to point out EVERY TIME that this is Trumps plan all along., nothing will matter. They need to always say that Trump is following thru with Russias plan to complete destroy America from within.

Nothing is going to change we're softies in America now.

So it's ok for this PM to run his people into the ground with taxes until their back are broken. In turn, they get nothing. Then this loser turns around and wants 100 billion from America. Everything he said he did for America is something he should be doing anyway.

He is still begging Trump and saying canada is a friend. Canadians did what America wanted to target china. When china did nothing to them. They should be friends with China not America. China did nothing to them.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.
