There’s a MAGA clown watching this right now shaking their head in disgust saying “what a evil demonic man, he is literally lying about everything he should be in jail for the rest of his life, Trump needs to take over Canada”

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

We're with you Canada. We don't want this, either. Because you are a gentleman, like all presidents should be, you can't call him what he really is, a bully, spoiled brat, and incompetent Douch bag. Unfortunately we don't have a gentleman in the White House.

I just don't understand why is Canada responsible for American junkies? Canadians are not forcing Americans to get high. trump educates your people about drug addiction.

Trump administration already trying to set the stage for backing down. Canada and Mexico should not negotiate with terrorism. Stand their ground. Help Trump and Musk supporters finally open their eyes and see how STUPID the Trump administration actually is, and how everything that is being done (crashing the economy) will ultimately benefit the ultra rich, who can purchase failing assets for cheap.

Canada. Is Righteousness ❤️??

Virginia stands with Canada. The Trump administration is retarded for this!!?

Im a Canadian living in the us and I stand with Canada!!❤

I feel like i wanna live in Canada now!

So sorry Canada I was born there in Quebec Canada and have lived here since childhood in the US you are our neighbors and I can’t believe this is happening and my hopes are that this will all be settled. We didn’t vote for Trump so please believe as Americans that we don’t agree with this that we are not all as Americans are on board with this

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

Please, annex our democratic states into Canada so you can be our President. ❤Canada Ukraine

IM SO SORRY CANADA,MEXICO,AND CHINA

NOT ALL OF US AMERICANS ARE FOR TRUMP, VANCE,, MUSK WE STAND FOR CANADA, EUKRAINE. OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT

I gotta move to Canada.

Go Canada

THANK YOU!!! Thank You for doing what few have done. What few countries, what few leaders, especially our own leaders have had the BACK BONE to do. The world respects you. AMERICANS respect you!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I pray that you won't back down like other weak men and countries have. Thank You Canada, Americans love you. ?

This man is a joke. Get rid of him now Canada.

Lol, Canada tariff the usa 300% on certain resources. I cant blame trump for getting that fixed

As an American in California who had a family cottage in beautiful Ontario for 12 years and was welcomed by so many Canadian friends I am appalled by the American president who is a traitor. I support Canada 100% and will do everything possible to support you in this economic war with this corrupt administration.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Trump's playing hard ball with Canada and the hockey game won't be pretty

I love Canada we in America support canada

If tariffs are bad for the consumer of the country that implements them, why would Canada respond with tariffs?

It's not about fentenyl, it's the fact that Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state so he can have total control like he does with us Americans, IMO.

When WILL CNN TALK ABOOUT ALL THE TARIFFS CANADA HAS ON US!!!!! I am a very small business owner who seals things on Etsy. I sold only one thing to Canada for $13 and the tariffs was additional $65. The Canadian paid for it however it was my one and only sale there. So how is that fair for me? How is that fair to us?

Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

The corrupt Liberal/NDP political coalition is the biggest Criminal Enterprise operating in Canada!!!

Russia ?? will help Trump no worries Canada, we'll be just fine ?, Trump is a adult baby lol?

Can Canada begin meddling in our elections to counter Russian trolls pls?

An American here who wholeheartedly supports Canada, Mexico and Ukraine, Greenland, Panama and any other country our embicile in chief attacks, except russia?

An amazing response from Canada. I stand with you! ❤

Keep your head up Canada !! Sending love from America, and on behalf of all americans, we apologize for this mess. Allies today, tomorrow and forever

I have no problem with a tariff to China or Mexico, neither is an ally.\nEspecially corrupt Mexico run by cartels .\nGenerally I back Trump - BUT Canada is a special neighbor/partner.\nThis is not good.\nI hope Trump reconsiders.

Canada is the only country that burned down the White House. I mean the fight house.

From Washington state, I applaud your strong stand against Trump and his administration who do NOT represent a large portion of the United States, including me!! l love Canada and hope you remain strong in your stance against Trump!!!

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

canada exports 75+% of its overall products into the united states, it only imports 50ish% overall products from the united states of america. This is why the tariffs are in place. Agree or disagree, this is why trump is doing what hes doing. Our country is in shambles and we need our allies to pump money into our economy or else it will only get worse in our country. And both canada and mexico are outraged by the simple way trump is approaching this.

The Marxist dictator, Justin Black-face Trudeau is threatened by Trump and panicking because the people of Canada see right through his lies and would rather have a country govern the way President Trump does it and give the power back to the people instead of having it run by the world, economic forum

The US has many factories in Canada, employing a number of Canadians !

Canada is strong. Mexico is strong. These United States are flaky. We have a flaky president who wears diapers. Trudeau is a strong leader. The woman president of Mexico is a strong leader. We have an orange Jesus who wears diapers and his vice president loves the couch of most any home !!!!!!!

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

It is just funny how Canada said we are better than Mexico and us is our friend! Take your friendship in the ass!!! Mexico is much more loyal to its word

TRUMP LAUNCHED THE TRADE WAR. as an American I guarantee you that the non maga Americans do not approve of these stupid tariffs against Canada and mexico. I support ?????? all the way

I am an American. I am horrified by the orange alien's behavior. I am scared. My family is scared. Do what you have to. Canada is an upstanding country, as are her people.

So proud of you Canada!\nFrom England.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

Dear Canada with love from your other neighbor Greenland/Denmark,\n\nWe stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and from my Danish perspective you are a more European country than a country in North America and I hope to see the Canadian flag, together with our Danish. in Brussels at the EU headquarters where you mediate into our common European family EU ...\n\nDear Canada you are just as naturally an EU country as Germany and France and my Denmark is,

We are with you Canada all the way
