It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

You know it’s bad when Trudeau is a good guy again ?… he’s honestly a huge asset that we need because it’s Trudeau… you cannot tell Trudeau otherwise, he has his opinions and his opinions for Canadians is nothing short from patriotic. As Canadians we need to love everyone here, this is a fight against the most powerful can on Earth.

Canada is scared because they need US more then we need them. The US will feel less pain from this if Canada wants to play games. All I see is a scared Trudeau who gave a good speech

If Canada didn't have tariffs on American goods, Trump wouldn't have placed any reciprocal tariffs on Canada. This is retaliatory If Canada really wanted to have this partnership that they speak about. Why not just remove tariffs on American goods? America's economy doesn't depend on Canada. But The same can't be said for Canada. Good luck biting the hand that feeds you.

Justin untrue doe knows his government will go Bank rupt with out the un balanced trade deals that swindle Americans and benefits Canada so now he has to come to the bargain table to address this issue so Donald can correct this unfair trade deal Justin untrue doe is screwed and he knows it how he addresses the issue will determine if Canada goes bankrupt or not good work by Trump to press the issue to benefit America

Tarrifs hurts the countries consumers nothing else. Big companies dont give a damn about your Tarrifs Trump, they just put it on the consumers and thats us. Good God man we had a dummy as President last year we dont need another dummy in the White House. These Tarrifs are stupid. ?

Trump is anything but a smart guy. Other than that: a very good speech.

America and he have had such goodvrelations but he knows that for a long time the tariffs haven't been about anything good. Which mouth are you talking out of Trudeau.

We are about to lose this fight. Good bye Canadian economy.

Come on Trudeau , everything you said was all good and well until you said trump is smart ?

Gen. Wesley Clark, looking in very good health, sharp as a tack and well articulated as always, as in his younger years. That was truly impressive to watch.

As an American I apologize to Canada and the world for the actions of our government. I and my immediate family never voted for Trump. Good Luck ? to all of us.

we already stockpiled your goods. Don't threaten us with terrifs

Good riddance Canada ?? \nAlcohol off the shelves along with the illegal fentanyl at the border is the place to focus. And then there's mumbo jumbo dumber, Trudeau.

The devil pay this way to who help him good. He is just starting .... hold on.

Good on Canada for standing up for their people. The news anchor seems offended that Canada is talking “harshly “ to poor o frump… o please! Enough with the treatment of kid gloves Americans will be deeply hurt by this buffoon starting a trade war with our allies… the frumpy supporters this is what you voted for so don’t want to hear crying…. You didn’t want to listen to the warnings given so now deal with it just like everyone else that knew better ….

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

I listened to Kamala and her team speak equally articulate as Tradeaux, but Americans made their choice. Their majority might not be as good as we think them to be. Perhaps Trump is a representative of their majority.

Americans are being nice by doing business with Canada. We can buy our syrup somewhere else ? good luck Canada ?? ? We don't need you, you need us ❤ ?

Go Canada!!!! and let us hope that US comes to it senses soon. Otherwise they will float alone and that is not good for any country in the world of today

Fun Fact: Trudeau's ancestor was the daughter of Major William Farquhar, who ensured Singapore survived as a fledgling British outpost, then got bullied out of the job by an ungrateful Raffles. Today many things in Singapore are named after Raffles, but Farquhar's grave in Scotland defiantly claims that He founded Singapore. Good to see that his unbowed spirit lives on.

O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

Calling him Donald was not a good move, we don't have the cards lol

Trudeau, you finally do a good job to fight back Donald Duck.?

1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

The Canadian tariffs imposed on US goods, will hurt Canadian consumers, and US manufacturers. How does this help America? Secondly, it has been reported that Russia is funding the manufacturing of the illegal Fentanyl that gets smuggled into our country, and around the world. Finally, TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

Funny how Canada has had tariffs on US goods for decades but the moment USA institute tariffs were in a trade war??

Please remember millions of us did NOT VOTE for the Orange Dicktator! If I had the resources I would be relocating to Canada for good!!

Good will prevail, and evil will fall.well, said Mister Trudeau. Love this country, my second home, my children's place of birth .We will be ok .

I vote for this , good job Mr. President

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

I dont blame da people dat voted 4 trump. #1 Conman in da world i always said dat. Im sorry but hes good. They said he cant be president

Trump and his loser clan of idiots is going to destroy the country in less than 4 years. How can any Republican literally accept this as a good decision?

Not a fan of Trudeau, but it's good to see him showing some spine and standing for Canada.

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

Trump's only goal is to isolate America and destroy Americans. We will all suffer including maga group. Good luck i hope we survive this idiot in office

Denmark Will buy more Goods from Canada- and have already banned products from USA. Tesla banned, travel to USA - banned Coca Cola, Kelloggs , Heinz, Oreo, Jack Daniels , Trump - all banned

Good job ?? ??

Trump!!!!!!!!! Good job I love it

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

We need to kick Trump out of the office drum is a disgrace to America. He makes us look so bad how our neighbors we work for many years in good faith are you up? You're neighbors looking down at us

Trump is a Toxic Tangerine Turd. He deserves to be flushed down the pan and forgotten about. He is the most vile malignant narcissist who has ever had the misfortune to be born. Good for Canada. Stand up to a bully. I'm a Brit. We have a PM that bends over at every opportunity to appease Trump.

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Fight with Canada, Mexico and Zelinsky, stock market loss, piting Putin, renaming the Gulf all in little over a month........This guy is good !!!

Canadians have had tarriff on US Goods for years. so honestly bring it.

Canada is good and great . The present US Federal Govt is Not Now . This US Govt is working overtime against the best interest of its people , country and the world . Orange guy and his sycophants are a scourge and danger ! This is needless and unnecessary. For What ?
