Please know that the vast majority of us in the USA do not want this trade war. Canada is our neighbor and friend. This will not stand. I don’t know how or when but Trump will be removed from office and our memories soon. Democracy will prevail over evil!

It’s not about fentanyl.Trump want Canada to be the 51st state! Trump wants it , so trump gets it … temper tantrum!! Cry baby!!!

Somebody have courage to stand up to bullying not afraid always stand with Canada, Ukraine for peace and democracy????????

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada are essential to protecting American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. Trudeau’s corrupt leadership has exploited the U.S. for years while failing to curb the fentanyl crisis that devastates American communities. His government’s scandals and suppression of dissent prove Canada is no longer a reliable partner. These tariffs aren’t about punishment—they’re about securing America’s future, restoring fair trade, and putting American workers first.

I am Italian and standing with Canada, Mexico, Europe and Ukraine .. Proud of Prime Minister Trudeau

It's about land United States want to take over Canada. And they don't want to become part of the United States

I am an American, I’ve spent time in Canada and the people and land are incredible. I support Canada and democracy, Canadians are not alone in the anger towards the US government even in a red state.

I stand with Canada ??

Trudeau needs to open the dictionary and understand what the word reciprocal means. And so do the idiots here saying they stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe.

Not all of us voted for Trump! I’m with Canada.

Well done Canada

US is a traitor country! Canada should do business with Europe to strengthen our economy and military before US starts to try destabilizing Canada and Europe! US is our new common enemy unfortunately!

Canada will have to respond more forcefully, as the US seeks to gain the upper hand in negotiations by hitting its biggest trading partners (Canada and China) first and then threatening other fraternal countries (smaller trading partners).

Here's my issue with Trudeau ...you now placed your country in a position where this becomes a game of tariff chicken. This won't end well for Canada no matter what tariffs you try to envoke to counter Trump. The U.S. aren't dependent on Canada. So, what is your real endgame here matching the tariffs? Is that what the people of Canada really want to get into? Doesn't seem smart to me. It just looks like a lazy game of posturing trying impose some front like the U.S. need to back down from Canada. What a joke.

Dear Canada, Maine still loves you. We have our fair share of red-hatted morons here, but those of us with functioning brain cells are here to work together when these next 4 years are finally over.

Yall Sound stupid AF talking about I’m with Canada and Ukraine! As a Black Woman I understand we have an issues. But It’s USA VS EVERYBODY! Get down or Lay Down!

Vance today referred to the British army as a random inexperienced force. The disrespect the US is showing to the world is shameful. \nWe stand with Canada.

Let's support Canada by purchasing Canadian made goods.

Canada is in this mess because of Trudeau. It sure as hell is not Trump. Trump is just playing hardball. What did all you idiot, left wing morons think was going to happen? Trudeau is a narcissist and is not helping this Country. He is increasing the damage that will be inflicted upon us. If you don't see that it is a strong statement on how drastically the education system has failed in the 2 countries.

I'm an American. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and the free world - NOT Donald, Elon, and their MAGA-brainwashed death cult ruining my country and making our world worse.

Wow obviously censored comments. Emperor trudeau is universally hated in Canada for destroying our once great nation

Pretty boy needs to go away before he destroys Canada completely !!!! Of course it's CNN instigating again as usual!!

As we are Canadian, we need to stand together, I feel proud of Canada ?

We love Canada ?? and we love Canada ? government support for Ukraine ??

Trade War. Threats of Annexation. Turning on Ukraine and disrespecting Zalenskyy. Aligning with a brutal war criminal and KGB minded Tyrant. CANADA IS DONE WITH THE U.S. (not all Americans, we know that, but KNOW THIS, it's 1/2 of YOU and that's your problem, and you made it ours). ELBOWS UP ?

Why is this clown talking when he’s done in Canada? Needs to crawl under a rock absolutely embarrassing

Wait? Canada has had hundreds of Tariffs on American imports for decades! Many at 200 percent (like Milk)

I’m an American and I support Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and all our allies, I do not support Donald Trump.

Weak Trudeau. You do realize that Canada can't get any other goods with large tariffs from other countries. It all has to come from USA. Very smart Tump. Not sure why he is bringing Putin in it when he wants a peace deal.

I am with Canada and I’m an American. And btw, I didn’t vote for the Putin loving, insurrectionist, felon.

This is what happens when Canada has a spinless dictator leader like trudeau. If we Canadians had a real leader we wouldn't be pushed around.

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

Canada is the 51st state. There was no reason for Trump to call it out. Now, you can see the desperation on Trudeau's face, and the Canadian reaction.

This idiot ruined more Canadian lives than any drug in Canada

I would love to have more leaders talk directly to AMERICAN people to let them know facts and the real truth. Some Americans listen to Trump. Most of us stand with you Canada. Trump has lost his mind and spineless republican politicians are heppy to listen to him.

Canada, we are sorry. 49 % of our voters lost their mind. Prime Minister of Canada is right, no one wins a trade war. Nor is this war or the trade war with Mexico is justified.

Screw Canada... trade war is fine..

As an American embarrassed by trump. I'm on your side, Canada!

Does Canada have a fentanyl problem?

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

Can we please come live with you canada???

Why is no one asking how much Fentanyl is brought into the USA Directly (not via Mexico or Canada)? Surely more is imported directly into the USA or even Manufactured on American soil than arrives from Canada?? We all knew the Tariffs have nothing to do with the border...it's been economic negotiations from the beginning...Also it's US demand for the dug that is the real problem not the borders.

Is Canada allowing any refugees from the U.S.??? I’m not joking. My whole family lives in red states like Indiana, Texas, and Kentucky (okay Ky is more purple I guess but definitely leans red despite the amazing blue Governor). We all want to move. It’s only 5 people but 3 of them are elderly. Is there any hope for us?

The Cubscouts of America could take over Canada.

Most Americans are WITH Canada and against Trump!

It's a matter of time, Canada is going to be 51st state.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm with Canada on this! Way to alienate our friends, Trump!

oomph my gosh you silly people, Canada will join the USA after trump kills us all :)

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

Well said Canada. 1 of 2 thing I think will transpire from trumps tariffs. Canada will be economically crushed and be sucked into becoming the 51st state. 2. I think there will be Trouble in the USA. Probably a light whiff of civil war. Isn’t it amazing how just one man can cause all this tension in the world
