The U.S. could shut down all trade with Canada tomorrow and lose 1.2% of its GDP. Canada would lose 20%. \nWho do you think survives a tariff war?

American. Standing with Canada.

To USA. \nYou ain't got no friends and all the others hate you.\n\nUS, Build that wall and we ??????will take turns together with Canada?? and Mexico?? guarding it - from the outside.

BETTER WAKE-UP CANADA...YOUR LIBERAL LEADER IS TO BLAME.\n\nI AM SORRY, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE TRADE DEFICIT EQUAL OR PAY TARIFFS. \n\nYOU TALKING LIKE THIS AND YOULL SEE WHAT IT IS WITHOUT THE LARGEST CONSUMING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump has been jealous of Trudeau from the beginning. Especially when he saw how Melania looked at him. And because Canada is his Ukraine.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

California is with Canada.

As much as I hate the idea of Americans suffering at the hands of Trump, I think PM Trudeau should cut Niagara power to the American side! Trump wants to play games, then Canada should stop the flow of everything coming into the U.S. just to show DJT how tariffs really work!

Time to join the EU. Canada shares a border with Denmark.

Oh Canada, the most beautiful country on this planet. We wish you good luck and strength to kick Trump's ass. The Czech Republic is with you

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.

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

why does he care?? he has destroyed Canada more than Trump ever will. Enjoy your retirement and never come back to politics.

Nice try Trudeau, Canada fcked up now, not US. you kept worrying about the US lol. easy thing, the company will move from Canada to US, simple as is!

Trudeau is doing FAR more damage to Canada than Trumps tariff…STOP hiding behind this tariff war and let us vote you OUT !!!!

Can we actually become part of Canada?......

We stand with Canada.

Wish I lived in Canada instead

I stand with Canada and I am ashamed of the United States.

Most people... including Americans, will stand with Canada!

We feel so betrayed by America. We are the closest allies in the world. We have the most prosperous relationship the world has EVER seen in history. This is bewildering. We are all stunned in Canada.

I stand with Canada, he is trying to start a war!! Like wtf Is wrong with him!!

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

Statement from the man who took Canadians bank accounts and rights during covid 19. Does anybody remember the truckers in Canada and people being arrested and locked up indefinitely?

I am so sad???our friends, our allies, to whom Canada has always supported in their wars, has been always side by side is BETRAYING US???How can you trust??????this is the second time brothers. FIX IT

Canada gets all my support. What the US is doing now is just wrong in every way.\nI just hope more and more americans will see how stupid this is going to be. Things are only going to get more expensive from this point forward.

So canada wants USA to pay tariffs ...but we shouldnt tariff them ..????

This American stands with Canada and Ukraine and never voted for Trump ever.

LEADERSHIP \nI SWEAR I FEEL LIKE I'M AT AN OPERATIONS MANAGER MEETING...\nLOVE BOTH CANADA AND MEXICO \nLEADERSHIP ??????? \n???‍❄️?????

Is Trump playing a game or what? He would like to attract Russia to separate it from China definitively, it is understandable but what is he trying to do here with Canada and Mexico ?\nThey import more American products than any other country. WTF

This guy is Brain dead, he is going to have the US invade canada. This guy is a feminist ha

The tariff on Canada was pending illegal immigration invasion deterrents at our northern border, & none was given from their side.

GO TRUDEAU!!!!!\nAnd GO ?? CANADA.\n\nIn the UK we love the ?? USA! Of course we do! Trump, Vance and Musk are utter nuggets, one is a fool, one is a South African Neo Nazis and one is an angry twat! \n\nNo F@CK TRUMP! Bollocks to Tesla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nLove ❤ to Canada ?

Canada pm focus on Canadian people… do not spend money for war. EU will not win ….

Trump wants to steal ukraines minerals rather than work with Canada for theirs

Maybe they are planning something. Trump once remarked that Canada could become the U.S.'s 51st state, so perhaps he was considering a strategy to weaken the country as part of a long-term plan. He might have been looking for a justification to assert control over Canada. Additionally, his strategic support for Putin raises concerns. Trump also once suggested renaming the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America.' Considering all this, could we be on the brink of World War III?

China and Canada stand up in front of bully, while Mexico remained silent

Wait wasn’t this guy the same one who said Canada is a post-national state. I thought there was no Canadian identity.

Spoken like a true leader....I stand with you Canada, and I apologize for my country's short sighted embarrassingly ridiculous actions.

I believe we need to look at WHY Trump is placing tariffs and it does seem more than just fentanyl and a protected border. I read that Canada has had tariffs on American imports for years before Trump took office.

Trump will do anything he can to fund his tax cuts, so now he needs to broaden his Tariffs to Canada and Mexico

Go Canada!

stand your ground canada don’t let donald’s stupid ass walk over you

Oh! people on both side in Canada or USA will suffer ? enjoy politicians

I am an American and I don’t need any maple syrup from Canada or ice cream

I hate Canada with a passion... As a brother, when there's hockey involved... But I will always have your back! Big love from Sweden ??❤️??

I'm an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine!!\nI didn't vote for this government. I am appalled and discusted with this putin butt kissing agenda. ?

It's about time every Nation stands up to the UN Patriotic US President, well done Canada, more should follow
