TRUDEAU ALLOWED HIS BORDER OPEN TO ILLEGAL MIGRANTS AND FENTANYL SO TRUDEAU YOU HAVE CAUSED THIS...TRUDEAU YOUR A EMBARRASSMENT

China fentanyl coming through Canada especially near Washington area, Canada dry needs us more than we need them stop it go Embezzle more money

You need USA. We don't need you. We have been taken advantage of long enough. Why did it take for Trump to tell you to make provisions against Fentanyl to actually implement it?

Does the US EXPORT or IMPORT more fentanyl to Canada?

All of which Canada took initiative to do, Mexico has been doing as well since December and this still comes up? What in the wacko Murica needs to get off that fentanyl

It was never about fentanyl or border crossing Trump is just making up reasons. I think he wants the United States to be ruined.

Trump is using fentanyl as an weak excuse to turn on our allies. And us Americans have to pay. Thank all the trumpers thought he had their back who voted him in office.

So if Dump is so concerned about Fentanyl why did he pardon that Silk Road guy?! Hmmmm.

Trump is using Fentanyl as an excuse to need get the money he has lost from the tax reductions he gave to the billionaires . He made the tax reductions for his own greed to make him a little richer. He was only thinking of his own greed.

Why not sign the agreement then Trudeau, instead of talking.. Trump wants to put that in agreement.. That FENTANYL should be on an agreement .. sign the agreement to STOP FENTANYL & immigrants and SECURE the boarder . End of the story ..

Trump is such a fool. He just manufactured an excuse to put tariffs on. He likes to show he is a tough guy by inflicting pain on everyone. This fentanyl excuse is maddening. No other country has this issue. Drugs are illegal and no one is forced to take them. Take responsibility for your choices. No one should die but no one should take illegal drugs.

Trudeau is an idiot.. be a partner as you claim to be! Stop the fentanyl, watch the border for aliens , and spend 2% of GDP on military.. all good INVESTMENTS in Canada!!

He was absolutely right it’s not about fentanyl it’s just an excuse that Trump wants to use for his dumb ssa supporters

? the comments on here are ridiculous. Why would Canada prefer a trade war over simply securing their border? Obviously they’re in bed with China who is the main supplier of fentanyl. Trump isnt just randomly saying this. He is guided by the best intelligence agencies in the world.

I think Trumps on Fentanyl or\nHas an Elon Musk chip implanted in his head

We believe Mr. Trudeau is correct that the fentanyl issue is just an excuse to steamroll Trump's power onto the entire world.

When Trump talks and lies and lies about Fentanyl and subsidizing...why isn't he being called out? Macron is the only one that corrected him.

What the USA is doing to work with the consume of fentanyl??

Why they never talk about the rising amount of guns coming from the US in Canada. Guns that we don't want. According to Donald Duck we should protect the border for US for the fentanyl but is the US is going to protect the border of Canada against the illegal gun market that US is the source of.

All this bluster about fentanyl, yet China is the main exporter of these precursor substances - well, they only have 20%. Awesome! The biggest risk now is that the trump administration divides and conquers - the free world needs to stand together against the US. Yes, it's strange to say, but that's the reality we live in. The earlier we wake up, the better.

Presumably the whole point of tariffs on Canada is to raise revenues to cover the tax cuts for the oligarchs that he hopes will keep his or his family permanently in power. From that point of view it makes sense to put the tariffs on the biggest trade partners. The tax breaks the oligarchs get will allow them to buy up and control the media on his behalf. Nothing to do with fentanyl. That's just a lie that US citizens are stupid enough to swallow.

These tariffs are not because of trade imbalance, fentanyl and other excuses. It's about destroying alliances that were built and enhanced for decades. Only Russia will benefit from this and add many around the world knew all along, Trump and his cronies and doing Russia's bidding.

As an American, there’s no way I can believe that Trump is doing this for less than one percent fentanyl crossing the Canadian border. I wonder what the real reason is?

If he really cared about the fentanyl epidemic and drug addicts he wouldn't be cutting funding for programs that help drug addicts. He wouldn't be cutting funding to mental health programs. He wouldn't be cutting funding to programs that help poorer families and children. He does not care about the working class and Americans who are already struggling. The only people he cares about are his wealthy buddies, and even then, it's more about their money than anything else. If any of them lost everything tomorrow, he wouldn't reach out to them with open arms and support, lol.

“Fentanyl Czar” how do you get that title

I thought this clown resigned after cheating on his wife??? Canada you can do much better than this tool it's not difficult to understand Americas position so why won't you stop the fentanyl Justin?

Look Justin, Its not about the fentanyl. That’s with Mexico. The fact is the US has been giving Canada billions of dollars for decades and we’re just not going to do it anymore. The US want to make Canada the 51st state and this is how it is going to be done.

Of all accidental apparent opioid toxicity deaths so far in 2024 (January to June), 79% involved fentanyl 1 2. This percentage has increased by 39% since 2016 when national surveillance began but appears to have stabilized in recent years. MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE! lier!

Start checking Canadian ports. The border is just a part of it. Maybe if they up the staff at Canadian ports we can get somewhere with this trade war. That's where a lot of Canadian cars are going after they get stolen they need to check more shipping containers for contraband. That's probably where most fentanyl or precursors are coming in.

Trump is a literary an Russian agent that works for Putin imbedded in American politics!!! \n\nHe is literally trying to destroy America and it's relationship to Americas allies! \n\nHow can russia destroy the undistructable America ?? \n Simple destroy it from within!! \n\nThis conspiracy theory somehow makes more sense than Trump's fentanylls bs reasoning for putting tarrifs to our closest allies!! \n\nThis tarrifs just proves that Donald Trump is a traitor to America

Guess they were sending fentanyl

CNN, stop spreading nonsense, everyone knows that Trump does not care about border crossings and fentanyl otherwise he would work WITH Mexico/Canada. This is about him doing Russia’s bidding so we they have the climate for favorable business dealings with the USA. It is all for Mother Russia!!

Fentanyl..... This lady can't speak

Then help the US stop the flow of Fentanyl. That's all.

Too little too late Trudeau! Why is Canada still short 2,000 border guards? Why are no railway containers still not checked? Why is still only 1% of shipping containers checked? Why did you leave the borders wide open for nine years, allowing illegal drugs and immigrants to cross over? How many more illegal drug labs are still running in Canada that we don't know about? How much fentanyl is crossing the border into the US from Canada that wasn't caught (only 1% was caught)?

I am fearful for what Trump wants to do here. We should never be provoking our border countries. Seems like an act of war. Also, guaranteed we need to work on addiction issues in our own country. Fentanyl doesn’t just come from borders. And I am sure Canada hasn’t enough crossing from their borders that is hurting us! F T rump!

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

Everything this guy has said is false and he cannot back up his statements,, we have yet to hear from the Fentanyl Czar,,,, no one has increased the checking of our ports and their cargo,, lie,, lie lie,,, the money set aside for the fight in drug war is not set to come for fruition for 2 years,, America, trudeau is the most hated pm in Canada,, but you wouldn’t know that because the media in Canada is paid and sponsored by the liebrel government. Do not listen to this corrupt lier but pray for us Canadians??

It's not about Fentanyl. Trump is always looking for HIS money.

supply and demand, I don’t think you people realize how crafty addicts can be. No amount of border security is going to stop the flow of fentanyl.

Why does the media and the trump administration believe it is Canada’s responsibility to stop Fentanyl? In which imaginary scenario does the Canadian border interrogate and stop people from entering the united states ????

This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.

He put the 25 tariffs because of Fentanyl and for the last four years Canda has allowed this drug to be trafficked and he allowed illegals to flow into our country for the last 4rs. \nRespect. If you had any respect for our country, you would not put our country in debt to keep Canada going . Stealing my tax dollars. If you respected us, you would deal with America as an honest broker.\nAmericans flip the bill for ungrateful countries who have no respect for America. It stops here.

My question is why only now you closed the border and prevent fentanyl and other illegality to pass over the border a.o child trafficking etc why not during biden's presidency??

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Dear Canada, I am glad you are standing up to our horrible leaders. I never in my life ever expected to see a President of the U.S. side with Russia over our allies. We know the that he is gaslighting the world using the fentanyl excuse. We did not all vote for the orange menace, but now we will do everything we can to rid our country and the world of this MAGA scourge.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

It’s because Canada hasn’t stopped allowing fentanyl

They want the West divided. One of the reasons China did not reach out to the US to help with the fentanyl. They are clapping in their hands as they see this infighting going on.

So that's the fentanyl at the borders. What % comes through borders and what % comes through other avenues?
