Joe Biden didn’t have none of this nonsense and chaos going on . That’s all I’m saying!?

So the US didn’t even tell the truth on top of this tariff. Are we surprised? Trump said these previous agreements between Mexico & Canada were unfair to US, like we were getting screwed by these countries.

I still want to believe the US didn’t saddle us with stupid tariffs, it was the golden turd. Americans, you know he is hurting all of us. And for what?

Is Trudeau attempting to fool us into thinking he has our best interests at heart when he struggles to represent Canadians effectively? Didn't he once consider resigning because his own people disliked him? Instead of using deceptive rhetoric to divide us, he should focus on collaborating with our government to reach meaningful agreements.

didn't he resign?

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

Facts, truths, actual statistics that he didn’t just pull out of the air…can Mr. Trudeau come be our president? What a fantastic, bold speech!\nStanding by you, Canada!! ? ?? Thank you for standing up and saying NO!

Didn’t Trudeau resign?

Didn't you resign???????? Fear mongering I see. Pay attention to what you are doing to your OWN people chump!

You sound so normal and understandable. How I wish we had that right now. I never voted for Rump and it didn't matter. I don't know how we to fix this. His supporters are completely brainwashed and getting literally different information. The US needs help.

US Americans didn't want this to happen. Our GOVERMENT is totally lost the meaning of God ! May God help us all!

As an American, I'm sorry to Canada and those of us who didn't vote for Trump. We don't deserve this and the ones who voted for him, you need to repent and wonder if it was really worth it. This mess is just the beginning. God help us!

Didn't you resign?

THE RELATIONSHIP IS BAD NOW THANKS TO CANADA PRIME MINISTER BRUTOU‼️ \nU.S. HAVE A 41 BILLION DEFICIT WITH CANADA ?? GO TRUMP TARIF.\nALERT ? ALL OTHER NEGATIVE COMMENTS AGAINST TRUMP ARE BEEN PAID.\nNOW DEMOCRATS ALL OF THE SUDEN KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMY? WHY BIDEN DIDN’T FIX IT?

Wait so why is Trump imposing tariffs on Canada? I honestly didn’t know this

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.too bad we didn’t have someone with intelligence and common sense as Trudeau.

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

DO SOMETHING ??. we didn’t vote him in!!! we were still owed for those first four years of this ???\n\nHe has the same interests as Hitler did, he wants to take away YOUR RIGHTS. YOURS freedoms So you can’t fight for anything again. he wants ?? to be Russia where he can stay in power and kill anyone who tries to run against him !!! only the wealthy the corrupt will win!! he wants to steal our beautiful Country ?? and others, to steal our minerals and our northern passage!! \nWAKE UP!!!!!!\nand DO SOMETHING!!! \nWe will all fight !! just like you would. including me!!! \n\n???

Trump is like a Toddler thar never grew up. Sad for the Americans that didn’t vote for him, but now have to pay the price of his stupidity.

Great leadership, mister Trudeau. Didn't always agree with you in the past, but I'm fully behind Canada against orange face and eyeliner boy. Cheers from the Netherlands????????????

Didn’t he resign?

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

As a Canadian I’m so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and our country! We all know that the tariffs will affect our Country too but we are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder and help each other out. Thank you to all the countries that stand with us and to the Americans that didn’t vote for this nightmare!

Didn't this fool resign?

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

No it is NOT hard to believe this is going on. When you elect a criminal who floats the rule of law and the Constitution, this is exactly what you should expect. I don't believe for one instant that the politicians in the Republican party and a good number in the Democrat party did not see this coming, althpugh the Republicans who anticipated it wanted it and the Democrats didn't.

I thought most Canadians didn't like him.\nHe is just using this to gain his popularity.\nBut I am sorry, it is too late.\nIf you fight with US, you gonna lose, 100%.\nLet's see how it goes and see who is tougher.\nStop the ILLEGALS not just pretend you are doing it.

??? I didn't vote for the Orange Idiot! ???

This is the same leader who stole gas from his citizen because he didn't agree with a protest?

Didn't Donald say a week or so ago that Canada did 30 times better and that border is closed. Did it collapse or something???

Trump is a moron. I'm sorry world. We didn't all vote for this jackass

Just because YOU don't understand something didn't mean it's dumb

Never back down to Trump! Signed, An American who didn't vote for that bully

what do you want Americans to do? Our hands are tied if we didn't vote for Trump.

50% of Americans didn't want this either but thank you for wearing a suit so Trump can take your concerns and suggestions seriously. 50% of Americans are now fashion designers and follow blindly until our current administration policies effect them negatively.

When trump started blaming all the immigrants for the economic woes of the us like it’s 1945 I knew better than to listen to his bs. He lies and says what he needs to to act like a dictator. I didn’t vote for him. Nor will I ever be ok with him being on putins side or bragging about being friends with Kim jun un. He’s an idiot.

This is only the 3rd month under Trump/Vance, lord pray for us ! I’m sorry as an American, I didn’t ask for this! ?

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

He says the CANADIAN people don’t want this. Likewise, the AMERICAN people don’t want this either. Unfortunately we didn’t get a vote in this decision.

Wish the USA had a mature, intelligent leader who could speak in complete sentences and didn't tell us lie after lie.

I didn't vote for that man. Female or male..the US needs an intelligent, well spoken POTUS like Trudeau. All that tough guy act doesn't fly especially when you disrespect the Ukrainian president over what he's wearing, forgetting the reason behind that. Good luck to all on another 4yrs of nonsense

As a Trump supporter, I am\nAgainst the 25% tariff on Canada because just what you’re hearing. Canada is a close and loyal ally to the U.S. we shouldn’t punish them and tarnish our relationship. We should grow and prosper together. yes I did support Trump but I didn’t support this.

I didn't vote for Trump

Didn’t this guy resign already

you got no cards Trudeau what you didn t get it!

As an American who didn’t vote for the Mandarin Candidate, we’re not co-signing anything this Traitor Trump is doing. We want off this rollercoaster too, but no one is doing anything about him. Our system is corrupt and there are no paths to getting out of this unless he’s removed from office and shown for the treasonous snake he is.

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

Well said. Sorry Canada, I didn't vote for this orange monstrosity of a president

I’ve never met one single Canadian that I didn’t find kind and respectful. Canada, I am embarrassed of our government’s actions and I stand with you!??

I absolutely appreciate your speech. I didn't vote for any of this. I'm scared.
