5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?

Crude is a socialist. What he doesn't realize is that trumps and America is sick and tired of Canada and the rest of the world taking advantage of America trade fair. That's all it is you want, freedom. You want fairness pay your own fair share in this world. We've been protecting you for years. You've been taking advantage of. Trade deals for years. Time for you to pay up pal

Canada should shut the lights out on the US north east and turn off the oil and gas pipelines. Just a day or two. That should educate Trump as his maga morons that our relationship is reciprocal and mutually beneficial. The most recent trade agreement was negotiated and signed by Trump himself and he hailed it as the best trade deal ever.

Excuse me....Donald Trump declared a trade war in his actions NOT Canada.....In any response Trump's response will be full of lies and bullshit to take over Canada.....and as Trudeau says...ain't gonna happen...!!!

2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.

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.

Please trade with us in Europe.. We are happy to buy Canadian instead of US goods.. I feel sorry for the US people who did not vote for trump.. Go Canada!!

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.

Trump is posturing to initiate a huge trade deal with Russia. Guaranteed

This trade war is COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. Trump is doing it just to prove his “power”. To my foolish fellow Americans who voted for the Orange idiot- YOU OWN THIS.

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

CANADIANS ARE REASONABLE, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS THE LUNATIC.\nJUSTIN WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR GOING IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS IT TO END.\nJUSTIN IS A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. AS FOR A TRADE WAR, THIS IS NOT A TRADE WAR. TRUMP IS BRINGING THE WORK BACK TO NORTH AMERICA. TRUDEAU THE GLOBALIST WANTS TO KEEP MAKING A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP WEALTHY.\nWE PAID 7 % PST BEFORE FREE TRADE. 15 % AFTER.\nTHATS NOT FREE TRADE. CANADIANS NOW PAY CHINAS TARIFFS.\nMULROONEY GAVE BUSH SRS EULOGY. WHO SOLD CANADA OUT TO GLOBALISTS. THE BUSH FAMILY CHASED ROSS PEROT OFF.

It’s very sad to see what is happening in the us. Thousands of jobs gone already, trade wars will cost who knows how many more. Musk as Trumps right hand man, the guy who wants to have 500,000 robots by 2027. No connection I am sure!!!

If I really want to make sense of all this non sense, in this 'alternative truth world', I will say that, in fact, Trump is surprisingly the best advocate for sustainable development! Because, if the tariffs have the expected consequences, trade between both your countries will decrease, meaning less trucks on the roads, meaning less fossiles fuels, less production, less consumption, meaning less emissions of CO2. Is it what Trump really wants?

Trump is in love with Putin, a new US ally and the next trade partner.???

Trump is trying to blow up the Western trade bloc. This only enhances China's rise to power.

As a American i support Trump and the taxes Canada has allowed the chinese ccp in their country has been practicing a unfair trade on the Americans for many years now finally someone standing up Trump 2024

Shut up Trudeau...everyone wants peace. Trump did us a favour. Canada first.....trade within our borders and the big world

The best and the worst thing about Trump is that he polarizes people. Watching the world react to how he treats Ukraine, his trade wars, as well as threats to violently steal land from allies, really lets true leaders shine! ?

Let us be crystal clear, what's happening now, from abandoning alliances, to siding with adversaries, to starting trade wars with our largest trading partners, is the fault of a single man, Donald Trump, while being enabled by Congressional Republicans.\n\nMake no mistake, American businesses and consumers are going to pay a dear price for the decisions of this administration.\n\nLastly, trade is the remit of Congress from a constitutional perspective. Unfortunately, Congress has progressively ceded their authority to the Executive over the past decades. They simply must retake their power at the earliest possible opportunity.

Let's trade with China that's the only way Trump understands other than boobs

The question that needs to be asked is what’s Trump’s moneymaking angle on imposing tariffs. Trump only does stuff where he personally can make money. Somebody or some group or entity is paying him somehow to impose tariffs on America’s main trading partner and ally. That’s the only way this makes any sense.

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

As an American I stand in solidarity with Canada, this is not how you treat allies let alone close neighbors. There are no winners in trade wars, sadly a fact that seems to escape Trump.

From Indiana, I did not vote for Trump or trade wars and completely regret Trump's incompetent handling of relations with allies Ukraine and Canada.\nI have so much respect for the leadership of Canada and Ukraine. May God help us.

Why did you not answer the question of why does Trudeau and Canada think Trump is using the fentanyl excuse?\nThe intention of using a trade war to undermine the Canadian economy to make Canada the 51st state.\nIt is an existential threat to Canada as a nation.

I wonder if we could trade trump for this guy ?

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

Lets get it started. I support president Trump. America has been taken advantage for so long. Canada has been a back door for China to move illegal products and people into the Us. You are owned by China. Your economy sucks, you cannot afford this trade war against us. Your border is not safe. Your military contribution is the bottom of the list. You keeps blaming us for buying your oil? Now, you can keep it.

It irritates me that Trump attacks canada for fentanyl and illegal immigration when its the other boarder that is the vast majority supplier. Trump has not given a resoanble or justifiable reason for these tarrifs in my mind. Its a shame as some of Trumps ideas and plans I agree with but so far the vast majority of his action has not been. I have been visiting canada frequently for my outings, if I go oit for dinner or entertainment ive been making a 1 hr drive to do so, vs a 45 minute drive to seattle. I will continue to soend every leisure dollar in canada untill this tarrif trade war is corrected.

Americans, read the comments and wake the f up. Trump is destroying your country and your country alone. USA is easier replaced than you think.\nEU signed free trade agreement with India for example, a country of 1.5 billion people.\nWake up!

If you dont start a fair trade wich is all trump is aking your country has a bn out 3months untill your economy cslaps

As an American, I applaud your response and would make only one change. Instead of saying that 'America' did this, please more precisely state that the Trump administration is implementing these Trade War acts. ✌

Great Canada. Love from Ireland. Hope you trade with the E.U. Trump is insanely insane.??

Listen to what Trump said, he wants fentanyl to stop. Canada is trying to make it about trade, its not.

Donald trump is setting up the world so that US and Russia become trade partners for the next 4 years.

Shame and lies. It's time usa to ditch those support terrorist and shake hand with Russia. Trump needs to lift trade ban with Russia. Russia and usa needs to join and fight against terrorism. Canada uk has become terrorist hub

Trump is waging trade war on Canada now- but Putin is a friend now?? WTF

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

la fin de la guerre en ukraine, les quebecois pourront remplacer les amercains en ukraine et envoyer un million dhommes et de femmes au front russe combattre la russie, la guerre est finie...tant qu au tarifs ils devraient etre pegge au taux de change du dollar canadien soit autout de 44% pas juste 25% trump est trop mou pas assez de courage on a un trade deficit de 1.2 trillion ca ne disparaitra pas tout seul...et la la haine des amerciians va accenturer le retour des entreprises amerciianes dans l automobile aeronotique comme GW pratt and withney ibm bromont tout cela s en va..tout comme cuba vous entrez dans un cycle d epuration et de transformation anti capitaliste..

For Trump it’s not about a trade war ,it’s about Trumps alliance with Putin and destroying western democracy

Is MAGA saying trump won the “trade war” ???

The trade war is a distraction and an excuse. Trump is about to lift sanctions on Putin and re establish relations with him. Trump will buy oil from Russia and will eventually divide the planet among them including Xi maybe. Trump is a megalomaniac like Putin and he idolizes him along with other dictators and authoritarians on the planet and his cult members support every step.

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

Trudeau is personally involved with the Fentanyl trade. That’s why propping up bills and “plans” will never be enough. Trump knows this.\n\nHe’ll never be out of the drug game until he’s removed. Neither will his puppet “drug czar”\n\nWe’re calling for the dismantling of the trade. That’s going to get messy. When we see that, tariffs come down. \n\nUntil they make big busts of the industry portion of making fentanyl and the banks laundering the cartel money the tariff stays.

As history has proved: it only takes one single mad, narcissistic and corrupt vile excuse for a human to upend peace; whether it be trade or human suffering! Hitler, Putin and now Trump.

Good to see Trudeau set the tone cos Mexico needs to set the same tone and the EU should be equally harsh in its terms. Trump is starting a trade war with Allies while cozying up to Putin. Putin must be laughing watching this. How much the world has changed for Putin. Trump is doing everything Putin wants and more.

Respects to Canada. The Tariffs will kill everbody in US and the trade war is beginning. Russia and China laughs about the AMERICANS have fun in future wirh your criminal Clown Name Donald Trump.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.
