Putting higher tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico will not make America great again. This will cause higher prices in goods and services and may result in unemployment.

Tariffs just end up hurting the final consumer, Trump needs to implement measures that promote American growth and American Industries but not hurting the final consumer. Also Russia is the aggressor and needs to pay for all the destruction it has caused so far and economic impact !!

we know you guys dont want this nor does us true Americans want it. trump wants this to pretend like hes a tough guy to make him feel like a man for a split second cause deep down he knows hes a disgusting person.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have an articulate, sensible leader instead of an absolute, chaos-causing, thin-skinned, fool?

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

Trudeau u caused this. Big whoop

As a powerless American, I hope other countries will help curve Trump's madness/power kick. \n\nIt's embarrassing. He's destroying our economy, causing mass job loss, and just being played like a monkey by Musk, the Republican Party, and Putin. \n\nSeriously....I get his followers are either selfish rich people or ignorant barely passed highschool racists, but stupid/selfish is an excuse that only goes so far.

Unfortunately this is what Trump does. Pretend there’s a problem, cause chaos in an attempt to ‘fix’ it, then claim he’s fixed it without doing anything meaningful and just backpedaling to the way things were. \n\nIt’s worked domestically because his voter base is in a media bubble. But internationally, it’s just foolishness.

Trump and his Buddy Putin are 2 of a kind. They are downright Vicious! \nInhumane Greed! They will hurt all people! They will meet their Maker and will suffer the consequence of their own actions. They are Completely responsible for the suffering caused to Many many innocent people. Including Americans. They have no Soul! Pure Evil!

IF CANADA DOES SOOOOO MUCH FOR THE U.S. WHY ARE WE SENDING BILLIONS TOO THEM,YOU BETTER DO YOUR RESEARCH,CAUSE JUST A HANDFUL THINK TRUDEAU HAS BEEN DOING GOOD!!!

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.

This will cause much damage to the economy and the American people, but it will help the billionaires enrich themselves even more. They always know how to use a good economic crisis to their advantage.

The next president is going to have to clean up the mess Trump has caused and his little side kick Vance

Like Russia, Canada has key strategic resources and huge oil and gas reserves. The west could not cause the collapse of the Russian economy after it invaded Ukraine because of that key fact. Canada will eventually find other markets for its natural resources. This is a sad fact as integrating our economy with the U.S. has been a great benefit to both countries. You buy our natural resources, we buy your manufactured goods. Too bad, this administration does not see this simply reality. Don't get me wrong, Canada will suffer MORE than the U.S. as our economy is much smaller, but it will survive and once it decouples its economy from that of the U.S., it will be fine. The U.S. on the other hand is breaking treaties with longtime allies and isolating itself on the world stage. It is squandering its place as world leader and world superpower. China is licking its chops.

Typical Trudeau, puts the blame on anyone and everyone us for the problem in which HE willingly helped create. Trump is not the cause, but he will be a solution. Do something about the drug and immigration issues Trudeau, that's all you have to do but, I suppose you will leave that for Pollievre to clean up too..smh!!

Trudeau caused the tarrifs

How dare you omit the fact that it’s our stupid president who is causing this? CNN is trash and has sold out disgustingly to the far right! How dare you?!

Supporting Canada from the U.K, Trump and his vile cronies are out to cause carnage across the world , they are despicable.

Trump is causing such a stir, Canadians are agreeing with Trudeau!

lol. Didn’t Trudeau just step down cause Canadians hate him so much & he ruined the country? ? This outrage at Trump is all manufactured. The only people mad are the elites losing power & their shadow puppets. lol. CNN needs ratings.

This clown should be in jail, not talking for Canadians. You resign Trudeau!!! Leave Canada alone!!!\nCall an election!!!\nEveryone there with him should be in jail not talking for Canadians, they are the cause we’re in this situation!!

Trudeau failed to mention all the billions Canada owes the United States which caused the tariffs to start with. Trudeau you have stepped on it big time so keep kissing the globalists tail!

Nice job voting for the orange arangatang. Plays golf all the time and waste tax payers money going to the super bowl and Daytona, and causes tariff wars for no reason. Nice job maga morons, waste your money

Those who voted for this/him, are you happy now? This is not how you treat your neighbors and your country, time to pull out your 401k cause it's going down.

Why didnt trumps 25% tartiffs cause inflation when he put them on china who we get way more from?

We need Justin cause he understands Government and he is not scared of the USA.

The U.S. has a massive economic advantage over Canada in any trade war—no debate. The U.S. economy is 10x bigger, and Canada relies on American trade way more than the other way around. The idea that they have 'leverage' is just political posturing. They can slap tariffs on select U.S. industries to try and cause some pain, but in the long run, they *will* lose. Their leaders just don’t want to look weak, so they act like they’re standing firm when in reality, they’ve already been pushed off the cliff. The U.S. can outlast them easily.

Donald is causing problems around the world but the worst problems will be for the American people.

Trump has got to be removed from office somehow, for the sake of the whole world. This is getting too dangerous to continue. He's causing nothing but trouble everywhere!

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

This will cause short term pain to Canada but long term pain to the US. Canada has many natural resources that many other countries want

Trade wars cause global warming fact

You caused this now feel the pain

SLAVA UKRAINE and GOD BLESS CANADA from a US Citizen who is already feeling the affects in his work place because of this BS Tariff! Steel prices going up are causing us to raise our prices on our products made of steel which is everything we make!\n\nTO ALL US CITIZENS! Write your representatives and let them have it!!!!!

putin once said trump is a useful idiot and the one that would bring the most damage to the country and look what he is causing.

What Tr*mp is doing is so infuriating and nonsensical. This will cause such needless hardship for Canadians and Americans alike. Canada is our neighbor and long-time ally, why do this? It makes me sick how stupid and evil the Tr*mp administration and his supporters are.

Trumps administration has decided to Put the American people first the ones who where FORCED to work there asses off week on and on just to get the crap end of the check all cause this country and that country wanna fight and NOW THE US HAS THERE TRUE LEADER BACK AND SAYS NO MORE. YALL wanna find shit to complain about kiss my grits. USA USA USA USA ?? ? THANK YOU TRUMP GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD J TRUMP. That’s my president!!! ?

Trump will ruin the North American economy, and when normal businesses cannot survive, federally funded, corrupted corporations by foreign entities and loyalist to Trump‘s next term will be hailed as saviours and given extra power. Trump‘s aggressive foreign policies, allowing Trump to expand US territory will cause world, military conflict, and lock Americans under fascist doctrine and possibly cause World War 3.

Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

Does anyone think like I do? Trump wants to show his boss Putin that he can increase his empire by causing hardship to Canadians such that they will beg to join as a 51st state. Fentanoly is just an excuse to claim victimization.

Strong speech of Trudeau! We Europeans feel you and we are totally with Canada. \nHowever, I guess there is no point anymore speaking reasonable arguments to someone who simply lost all resonableness. The ones behind him (voters) are blinded by the lies and false arguments they now believe in. \nUnfortunately this all will cause an unparalel loss of economic growth for everyone, ALSO for the americans themselves. In addition, the world peace balance will badly loose its balance and can end up quite uggly.

Trumps dumbass logic is “people should do as I say just cause” no dipshit that’s not how things are done

Isnt he already facing charges to collude with CHINA ??? \nARE CANADIANS BLIND TO SEE CHINA IS THE CAUSE OF THIS RIFT BETWEEN US AND CANADA

The expressions of sympathy from Americans are very kind, but if they aren’t followed by any action, they’re completely useless. \n\nShouting for the president’s removal on social media or YouTube doesn’t accomplish much either. \n\nWhat can bring about change is action— contacting your representatives to protest by phone or email. It’s a first step for those who aren’t physically able to join demonstrations, because the power of the people is in the streets. \n\nRight now, there are major protests around the world—in Serbia to fight corruption, in Greece to combat the lack of investment in infrastructure that caused a very serious train accident, and in Georgia to oppose the pro-Russian direction of a government whose people want to join the European Union. If you let what’s happening in your country go on without taking action, you’re complicit.\n\n????????❤️

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

This guy caused this and now he is out there tough talking.... c'mon

Yup Canadian here and right now I’d like to send every made in America item be pulled from our shelves. Wth were people thinking when they voted that knuckle head Trump in? He is causing worldwide chaos and America WILL NOT come out better. You will stand alone in the end. Too bad the better Americans are getting caught up in the hate and anger from this idiot’s decisions. ?‍♀️ ? Canada is not for sale!!!!!?? ❤

That’s funny cause your no one’s friend and your a dictator as well what the hell r you talking about , and these tariffs do t affect you millionaires . Please go away sooner than later .

Yeah, when the Yellowstone supervolcano wakes up and causes massive damage in the US don't ask for help to your (gone) allies...
