For my personal gain I was hoping that he can relaunch American economy but I can't see how bigger tariffs would work......inflation is really gonna go up......wonder if he'll just go on a lying campaign and say it's just fake news and we're doing great....

Canada we're sorry, our president is a Moron. Sincerely, Americans

You’re a real tough guy, Justin?

I know this economic war on Canada will be difficult enough already but I urge my friends north of the border to do their best to fund a massive military expansion as rapidly as possible. Trump is clearly setting the stage and manufacturing excuses so he can invade and force Canada into becoming his 51st state and he's not going to stop with just trying to cripple your economy. Don't make Europe's mistake of thinking Americans are honorable friends and allies who can be trusted to keep their word. We're nothing but a bunch of ignorant, nasty, greedy, white supremacists who hate every other people on Earth. As a US Army veteran, I am ashamed of my country's unprovoked brutality once again.

To the military people commenting. Why are your brethren so clueless for a bone spur guy who thinks you're chumps...

Canada please look for alternatives as a permanent solution. Else you’re only postponing the problem and wait for a democratic government in the States

Canada, come and trade with us here in the UK instead! You're valued members of the Commonwealth and we love you!

Canada on strike, Canada says no more! No more neglect, we want respect, that’s what we’re striking for. ?

Canada is very high on emotions that’s for sure. Is this not how negotiating works? Are talks not still going on, is anything set in stone? They act like they’re ready for war. ?‍♂️

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Didn't touch on the prices of goods coming across the border into the US. Get a grip Frenchie, you're ripping us off, that's the reason for the tariffs, bozo! Come on mention the outrageous prices on the goods we get from your country.

Have MAGA figured out yet they’re idiots?

You don't back down from a fight but you're neutral you guys don't have a f****** s*** for an army you should back down if you don't back down you're stupid.....lol

We've been paying your Tariffs for years, now we're charging you Tariffs and you come unglued, your kidding!!!

Spoken like a true drug addict. Didn’t he legalize drugs in Canada? Trudeau, you’re as fake as a three dollar bill.

Have we put into law that we are not paying inflated prices until the re-stock?!

Bye ? Canada & Ukraine!!!! We are not supporting your shenanigans. You're lying your borders are not secure.

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

We’re with you. Black people tried so hard. We tried to stop this from happening. Most of us voted against it. We need help!

We're sorry world, we got corporate America attacking and infiltrating our gov. We got a bad case of stupid making its rounds and unfortunately, they're in the middle of FAFO.

If you’re really quiet you can hear the champagne corks popping in the Kremlin.

The expressions of sympathy from Americans are very kind, but if they aren’t followed by any action, they’re completely useless. \n\nShouting for the president’s removal on social media or YouTube doesn’t accomplish much either. \n\nWhat can bring about change is action— contacting your representatives to protest by phone or email. It’s a first step for those who aren’t physically able to join demonstrations, because the power of the people is in the streets. \n\nRight now, there are major protests around the world—in Serbia to fight corruption, in Greece to combat the lack of investment in infrastructure that caused a very serious train accident, and in Georgia to oppose the pro-Russian direction of a government whose people want to join the European Union. If you let what’s happening in your country go on without taking action, you’re complicit.\n\n????????❤️

Trump, Musk and the Republican Regime tanked the stock market, aligned with the enemy, and all our friends hate us. Thanks MAGA you’re the absolute worst!

Right now you're walking on minefield

As an American, we're getting very sick of trump very quickly. Even conservatives are starting to get really quiet.

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

We’re so screwed. Thank you so much for this Trump voters. \n\nStop calling Trump “smart” too. Being a conniving grifter does not make someone smart.

Thank you Gen Clark. You're views are always intelligent and an excellent role model across nations. This is such a disgrace for the USA and will hurt everyone together because we are all friends and our success happened together. I can't believe some people voted for this.

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Trainloads of lumber, they're building pallets out of it

good luck, little man. also, to the statist warhawk apologists carrying water for opportunist politicians (like trudeau): tighten up. you're fighting your neighbors on behalf of the people who only long to rule over you. your subservience to the state isn't going to be a valid defense when this all collapses.

Yes and you only did this because he said he was going to put tariffs on you. You're a crooked person and your people need to vote you out.

Canadians are reasonable indeed. But you are not, you ruined Canada. Now you are trying to evade and divert the attention of the Canadians. Come March 24th, you're done.

did he just say you're a very smart guy to Trump? ?

By the way JD Vance you supposed to be from Kentucky you're no longer welcome in Kentucky the Kentucky people spit on you we do not want you back in Kentucky you're not welcome come to McDonald's and buy you a cheeseburger and see how many pounds of spit you get on it JD Vance

The Emperor has no clothes, but Orange Mango McFelon thinks that the rest of us are as stupid as he is. Musk thinks we are stupid. Vance thinks we’re stupid. We most certainly are not. We see right through all this bull$hit. \n\nAll Don McFelon and Elon Muskrat want from us is our tax dollars. Why else would Elon Muskrat need our personal information? What are Muskrat’s pimple faced workers doing with our personal information? Am I going to wake up one morning to discover that my bank has been cleaned out?\n\nMy fellow Americans, there is something extremely fishy here. This con artist must be stopped. We need to protest and call our Congressmen to help stop all this lunacy. This is a Five Alarm Fire. We all need to come together to stop this madness man and all those that support him. \n\nWe need to stop fighting with each other, come together, and protest DT. They want us to focus on other things so that we don’t see what they are actually doing—-stealing our tax dollars. They must be stopped.

Well done Canada. Wake up Americans! You're President is committing treason in plain sight.

Why is it that the republicans always got a threaten our neighbors, Canada and Mexico was high terms, threatening the people all the time and bullying them is not gonna work, usually bullies get put in prison or go to jail or worse, and they know that why are they being bullies just because they're rich and they. Don't want their pockets empty. And they want to take it out on our neighbors.Well, it's the taxpayers that keep them there.Remember that when your election comes republicans, you guys can be oust out of business.You will not be voted for anymore.Remember that and that's my opinion why you bullying our neighbors

Nobody cares about Trudeau like they don't care about CNN and their lying criminal asses.....if we're so bad then why are they buying Russian natural resources while telling us we gotta help Ukraine.....he is as much as a criminal as Putin.

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

Just so you know, when the PM switches to French, he is not simply re-stating what he said; he is continuing the speech.

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

Sounds like Canadas done more to fight fentanyl in the last few weeks than Murca has since its existence. Interesting.\nLove that he called him Donald ?\nCanadas killing it these days. I hope we can get them into the EU, they're sexy ?

Soy boy Trudeau better watch his step. Don’t poke the bear. You won’t win!! Trump is a chess player. Trudeau, you’re a checkers player! Stop the drugs coming across your border!

Paula Newton is a traitor. I don't think she could try to push her anti-Trudeau agenda. We're the most united across the country we've been since 9/11/2001. And yet she is calling him out because she's pro mega-corp? Take your bag, and retire lady. Treason is really ugly on you

Don’t talk about it be about it! We made our choice!! Canada ain’t never been our closest ally… you just live under the umbrella of our protect protection!! You have been putting 25% tariffs on us for decades now!! Play ball and games changed, but we’re not playing this woke liberal ideology anymore in case you haven’t got the memo!! and by the way, Justin Trudeau is corrupted, crooked and launder money himself

He can huff and puff all he wants. But, he's leaving soon. Nothing he says matters. Things will change soon for the Canadian people. Why you're even giving this waste of space airtime is beyond me.

Thank you Trump and your idiocratic and senseless tariffs because you have untied Canadians in a way that have not been seen in a while. Im so happy we're sticking to our plans and not be bullied. The whole fentanyl issue is an excuse. He doesnt give a sh*t about anyone but his billionare cronies. His incredibly pathetic. I echo our Prime Minister's sentiment and sorry America, we were forced to do so. And we know this is NOT ALL of America. God bless us

I don't agree with tariffs. But Justin is a socialist. He agrees with interventionism. So he's to blame for rising costs as well. They're both at fault. He's in favor of universal health care. That's socialism. Now they pay the cost by having a medical care shortage. An MRI will take you many months. A surgery can take a year. Ridiculous. State wide monopolies don't work.

First Ukraine, now Canada. As an American, I’m embarrassed. We’re bullying our allies while chumming up with the KGB ??‍♂️
