The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

Spoken with professionalism as a leader without getting ignorant, bullishness and disrespect. Thank you sir! Shame on our Oval Office here in USA.?

From Germany: Proud to hear a real leader. Staying with Ukraine,Mexico and Kanada.\nAfter Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine we had to change our oil- and gas-trade and rised the import from USA.\nLooks like we have to replace the USA by Kanada!\nCongratulations, Mr. Trump! We get it!\nNo, we don‘t want your paying for our support after 9/11. \nUSA, Kanada, U.K., France and Russia saved our country from an authoritarian murderous „Führer“.\nLater we had been with USA, Kanada and 29 other contries in a strong union to defend democracy and humanity.\nYou cancelled it. No congratulations.\nSpeechless and sad!

This is fuckin insane... My country of the USA is nuts\n.

This is the fault of 51% of st_pid Americans who voted for a clown. Therefore, the USA is now a CIRCUS.

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

Let's not forget Canada entered WW2 before USA.

USA has become a joke. arrest trump or you will regret it for many many years

Keep the pressure on the orange turd administration and dont give in. USA is ashamed and embarrassed at what this administration has created.( USA outside of the maga deplorables that voted for this to happen)

God bless Canada. Dont let these apes from USA win. The world stays together against this cleptocrat Trump

I as Canadian stand with Canada & Canadian Government. All points raised are Valid.\n USA imposed sudden & thoughtless changes in Trade.

CANADA needs to turn around and do more business with Europe and Mexico. Canada does not need the USA.

In Sweden we will support you upp in Kanada with not buying USA brand. We support you.

From USA. What a good speech, TRUDEAU is eloquent, smart, diplomatic, and I'm pleased he called Trump Donald. THAT SPEAKS Volumes here. TRUMP is not my president. I'm sickened to what he is doing, harming Canada and Usa. Trump sickens me. He is not smart. He is not a leader. I'm with CANADA. AND UKRAINE!!

WHY? \n1. The USA starting expanding NATO even though we said we would NOT (Thank Clinton)\n2. We did it again even though Russia said please don't (Thank Bush)\n3. Putin supposedly meet with a international group of news reporters to complain about. (I never heard that in the News did you?)\n4. We then said we were considering to except Ukraine into NATO. (Kinda like a Russian version of our Cuban Missile Crisis)\n5. Russia's Military is not equal so cant use that against threat but Russia is very good at Internet attacks. (2016 Russia attacked our Election and got Trump Elected)\n6. We did pretty much nothing about Russia attacking our Election, and they continued to attack our election in 2020 and 2024 (Why do you think Trump favors Russia)\n7. DOJ and Judicial System failed us in not prosecuting Trump in a timely matter. (When the Supreme Court is rigged we all fall down)\n\nGood luck to all the good people out there.\nGod save us

there is something not right with trump how a man like that gets to be president of the USA just beggers believe

As an American for over 8 decades I want Trudeau as president of the USA. Or may I request Canada make USA a province?

As an American I support Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Europe, china, Mexico the USA and the whole world. Oops that doesn’t fit any narrative, oh well.

I hope they know not all of us on the USA is backing Trump!!!

Now I know how decent Germans felt when the Nazis took over, only in the USA it's MAGA. This is humiliating to watch. And it is over. Trump will never allow another election that's not rigged. Trump controls ALL the enforcement agencies in the US government, he's put traitorous dirtbags in charge of all of them, and he's purged or is purging anyone who opposes him. It's already over. IF the Democrats win the next mid-terms, they will be POWERLESS to do anything. The USA is now under control of Putin/MAGA.

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

HELLO FELLOW CANADIANS, GOOD FUCKING LUCK WE HAVE TWO CHOICES JOIN THE USA OR BECOME THE 24th PROVINCE OF CHINA

Those tariffs are such a stupid thing to do... for every country they are doing this, USA is basically making the chinese products so much more appealing for them. It would be MUCH cheaper to exchange those products for chinese ones instead of paying the tariffs. Congrats Trump, you are so afraid of China that you are actually EXPANDING its influence on the world. \nChina has actually the chance of doing something really funny now: REDUCING tariffs for those affected by Trumps actions. Just imagine...

Whom did these dumb and dumber punish when they introduces the 25% tariff? The customers, in both the USA and Canada. The seniors on fixed minimum income that we cannot effort buying fresh food coming from the USA.

Stay Strong Canada We are trapped here in the USA this is not America anymore American on truly support what you have to do... as far as the jobs he's already laying people off all over the place he's taken away or Healthcare he's taken away or Freedom he's taken away a financial Social Security and Medicare soon

Canada join the EU! The USA are no longer a reliable partner. Maybe you Canadians can even help bringing the UK back into the EU.

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

In response to Gen. Wesley Clark - The only sense that it makes is that Putin wants the USA to sever strong ties to its enemies.

We are ashamed of the current government and mad at half of the country that voted for the orange head! Apologies on behalf of the USA. We stand with Canada and Ukraine, not Trump!

I'm not even Canadian, I'm Brazilian.... But I'm so mad by this treason against USA biggest partner.

its OK for Canada to have higher tariffs on the USA but not the otherway Canada should help the USA and bring there tariffs down and we will bring our tariffs down 0 tariffs for all Canada needs us more then we need them.

Admit USA has better hockey and we might just make a deal.

I support the USA. The tariffs will hurt Canada and Mexico far more than the USA. In 2023 - 76% of Canada's exports were shipped to the US. That is 19% of their total GDP. Mexico exported 78% of its exports to the US, which is 37% of its GDP. US exports to Canada & Mexico combined were only 2.7%. Both countries will need to find other buyers or capitulate. No wonder Trudeau is screaming like a stray dog hit by a rock.

over the last few days watching world leaders. Our USA President and VP are unprofessional and bullies.

When referring to the USA, don't say America. America is the continent. Not a single country..!!!

putin help trump to reach usa president ..and now is the reword for putin !!

Why exactly is fair trade so horrendous? Canada has tariffed the USA for Years!! But when we impose tariffs the sky is falling. Get over yourself.

Not to many people drink USA liquor in Canada mostly coffee

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar.

Usa !! Usa !! Usa !! Usa !! \n\nPay up or stop the fent.

Think about this more goods come out of Canada and into the USA vs Canada. And it’s the same speech as last time.

It’s asshole trump and his cult of republican congressmen and women with no morals or integrity. A bunch of cowards. Not the whole USA.

But Trudeau the Americans from the USA are just St*p*d and they are blind they do not see the same things as you Canada and Europe see \nAmericans are really St*p*d .

EU welcome Canada. Viva la Canadiana Coffee!!! USA = fuki fuki $3.

?? Canada will come out better than ?? USA when this ends\nTrump is a PATHETIC POS period

But Americans voted for this, they love King Trump, the messiah, the economic genius. He's going to make USA the greatest at everything. ????????????? Normal folk reckon he's a two bit dickhead.

Trump is playing chess and you’re playing checkers. What you’re doing is no surprise, of course Canada would do reverse Tariffs. We’re ready to bring more manuf back to the USA.

The Man across the boarder will cripple his Country within a year....btw...thats the USA.
