We all know trump is dump blame who put him in office the worst for this country

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Shut off oil delivery and natural gas. I know you do not want to do this, you have no choice. I live in Michigan, and working with Canada has always been a give. The auto industry is important. I pray for the end of this quickly.

Who owns the majority of the stock market? Who cares. More than half of us don't own stocks. As for Canada, Trump is doing what he thinks is best for Americans not Canada. Not any talk here on why Trump did this and no one here seems to want to know. Let the talking heads that own tons of stocks through Black Rock tell you all you need to stay in the dark.

Right wing Republican they're going to destroy this country, especially with Donald Trump. This guy don't know nothing about politic. He is not a good president

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

I stand against the american government, but anybody with a brain knows that are government deals more drugs to the population than any drug dealing organization in the world, if the government cant be the one to deal it, than you cant eithet, if you deal it, you go to jail, if the government deals it, its perfectly ok

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.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

PM Trudeau being polite by say DJT, Sr is smart know he and other world leaders thinking and knowing DJT, Sr been lost his GOTDAMN mind ?

We stand with Canada we know our new administration doesn’t care about us they are only concerned about the wealthy

A lot of Canadians I know are already boycotting American products.

Trump has a deal done with Putin,all the raw materials he wants,and the kgb and mossad know all about the little visits to the island,that is what it was there for

Very proud of my Prime Minister today. Half my family is American - which is true for many of us - but the USA has declared economic warfare on us. As hard as it is to believe, it’s actually happened. The USA we used to know is gone forever.

It's truly unbelievable how many individuals allow themselves to be gaslighted.....blinded by their TDS it no longer matters if anything is good for America...cnn knows the full context of that meeting and how disrespectful ZELENSKY was...but it doesn't matter showing clips to make trump look bad is what matters

my prime minister, speaks truth, and americans u are our brothers, i know most of u dont want this, i only hope trump can smarten up i am so sad he won election

I would advise Canada to make it easier for Americans to move there and bring their wealth. I know many who want to leave USA like I did.

I wonder what does Putin have on Trump? At least we know what Elon does because he bought Trump’s presidency.

Just to let the yanks on here know... aTrudeau has also destroyed our military and most of our economy... he is a blow hard and is reviled by 80 percent of Canadians

I'd like to know what the REAL reason is for moving forward with these tariffs. The fentanyl excuse is bullshit.

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

I'm from the US and I'm standing with Canadian people. Our current president is insane billionaire never know how to protect and lead our country.

Stay strong Canada! Do not dispare! Do not cry! Do not kneel! Know that other parts of the world are having it much harder then you will ever have it, and they don t cry, and they don t flinch. My heart is with you. Remain a force for good in the world. God bless Canada!

Americans know it’s not about fentanyl. We know that’s another lie.

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.

President Trudeau, I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would call “the little tramp” smart…everyone knows even his professors at school said he was dummer than a ROCK!! This just proves him right. We stand with you and Europe and the Ukrainian people in hopes that Putin goes straight to hell. As well as the little tramp and his tiny little republican playmates.

Trump is a dictator and the sooner people realize it the more swiftly we can deal with it. If somebody doesn’t reach in and stop him it will become too late. His hope is to partner up with Putin and have the two countries work harmoniously. Imagine that Russia/USA almost has a ring to it. Trump is too stupid to know what he’s doing is going to result in his own demise. We can all see it coming I just hope somebody has enough balls to stop him

So many followers commenting on what a strong leader looks like. Sit down. You couldn't lead a ? out of your own ass. Don't speak on what you don't know.

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

I will be buying Canadian. And I am an American. But everyone knows the Orange Menace is NOT a smart guy. Just a petty little Putin wannabe.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

People who speak of Russia as it were the enemy obviously don't know the reasons why Russia had to defend itself moreover don't know who ZELENKSY really is, and what people your tax dollars is arming I will give you a clue: Azov.

I wonder if Mr. Trudeau knows we (America) can take Canada for our own land if we wanted in 48 hours

Now Trudeau should know that Trump breaks every agreement that he ever have done

Middle class people will claps, we hope our government will consider the upcoming recession which could hurt Anerican people, I personally crossing my fingers and convince myself think will go better since I as small business owner have not the knowledge which our politicians have, God bless America ?☝️ But one thing I know life goes on ?♥️? no matter what American staying together ??

soooo they can impose huge tariffs on us for years and its ok.... but as soon as we match those tariffs its terrible? Are you so used to be screwed by other countries that you don't know what its like to take control anymore? Are you so used to being taken advantage of that its just normal now?

Golden age, pthh More a golden shower if you ask me, then again it`s the same smell and color as their leader... \nHe act like what we in Denmark call... Kong gullerød... King carrot, and it ain`t even the orange coler we talk about, \nit`s was what we in old day`s called a true better knowing smartass, only funny it`s orange too...

We, the world, told you about all this in advance but they chose it anyway. We were all ok with our boring lives you know. We dont need this. - the people.

#47 KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING HE WANTS POWER AT ANY COST!!!

Why didn’t you do this before trump if you cared so much about the people who are trafficking these drugs across???!?!?\nI know why???\nIt only affects the poor people who trump is trying to help!!!

It disgusts me so much how stupid the Americans could be to elect this rubbish! At the same time, I learned a lot: I always wondered how the Nazis came to be here - now I know! Lies and shit-talk and people will believe you! It makes me sad and angry that we humans are apparently NOT able to learn. \n \nOnce again, it hits US little people the hardest: Trump, Weidel and all their names are playing golf and denying royally and we are in trouble. \n \nI wonder how much longer we want to watch this?

dear Mr. Treudeau, i want u to know i did not pick pres. chump. i understand why you are doing what you are doing. please keep all your people safe. with love to all of from wisconsin

Who tf is this coward? First of all, the americans on the roadway dont know how dangerous the semi truck drivers are that YOU allowed to enter the US!

Thank you Canada! I hope you know that most from USA do not support Rump.

This is on trump. He doesn't know how to run an economy just like he doesn't know how to run a business

Hope Canadians know we as the nation do not agree and support Trump's move on imporsing tariffs, and we may not like it but we understand that as a sovereign nation, you have to protect yourselves ..

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

HE AINT PULLIN NO DAMN PUNCHES....BRAVO.\nI KNOW MELANIA LIKE IT.

American here. I can't tell you how much I miss having a president that speaks like Trudeau. Instead we have a bunch of 4 year tantrum throwing toddlers. And for anyone that has been in a room full of 4 year tantrum throwers all day you know that is completely exhausting, life draining and all you want to do set them in time-out.

Drump is dumb and will destroy the world cuz he knows nothing thinks bullying is strength lol ???

I’m generally no fan of Trudeau but I’m with him on this…these Tariffs are stupid. I don’t know why we have to do this to them and ourselves…these amount of Fentanyl that comes in from Canada is tiny compared to Mexico
