Well idk my market is going up very nice today. Also we can make every Canadian goods at home so that there is no weight to his words in my eyes. I do say if Canada is doing all these measures though it would be nice to come to an agreement with Canada. To be friends with neighbors is always better than not being friends. So overall I'm kinda torn between it all. We don't need Canada to be honest but just because we don't need them does not mean we should not work with them. Very tuff situation at this moment.

Europe stand strongly behind Canada and Mexico\n\nPeople stop buying american stocks\nPeople stop buying american goods\nCountries start making new friends and allies excluding USA\n\nPoor you\nMy heart goes to all people who protest \nRemove your president and the top they are not worthy of you hard earned taxmoney….they only wants to make themselves rich and remove you the peoples voice\n????????

Good for Canada. Trump is with Russia and Putin's puppet. Take care of your people.

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

Canada stand with Pride, we support you and unfortunately Trump needs to learn a lesson and may all his Maga idiots see him for what he is and wake up! God be with Canada, Mexico and the USA! If you stand against Trump you stand on the side of good and democracy and we support that!

I have family and friends in USA. Plus I belive there big drug problems in Canada and the border. Think Trump was asking him clean up. Yes good help other countries but. Canada ...we taken in sooo meny. With housing soo high because storage. And jobs.

We don't buy $155 BILLION in goods from Canada...what is this clown talking a-boot?!? Lol ??

It is not the people of the United States who are doing this outrageous betrayal to our good friends in Canada. It is the evil people in control of our nation.

Dang Canada has a good leader

?‍♂️ Canada wasn’t buying our shit anyways. They put Canadian business first, which is good. \n\nNow we’re gonna give that a try.

As an American, I support Canada and Ukraine! I am fighting the good fight here against these idiots.

Hey folks, don’t come visit Canada this year. It’s not gonna be a good year.

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!!!

Good for You Canada , it Sucks but stand your ground to this moron trump. ❤?? from Detroit.

Good and not servility speech! I hope you can do more about Fentanyl and the Chinese organized criminal activity in your Casino and Fentanyl chemical sent by CCP! We love Canadian but not Fentanyl, illegal immigrants, and CCP infiltration! Goo bless America and Canada!

WHEN I HEAR CANADA I REMEMBER SOMETHING GOOD

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.

Canada will fight! They will not purchase any US goods for one day on February 29th!

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

Canada supplies up to 40% of American power so an export tariff would cripple the US, its economy isn't good

While I am going to financially suffer from this, I want to see our country start new deals with Europe and Asia. Until tRump is gone and ALL of his minions have left office, I don't want to see any deals with the US. \nWe knew Trump wanted to destroy Canada financially. This was NOT about fentynal.\nWe have enough wood, enough oil, and enough resources to establish good relationships around the world. And sustain fellow Canadians.

Show some color to that bastard Trump ! Good job, Canada !?

From a US Citizen... Canada remain strong and unlike our politicians stand up to all bullies. Trumples the Clown doesn't represent the good in the US... and to the veterans that spoke up... thanks for your service and thanks for once again standing up for the US

As italian, I’ve been in Canada many time for business. Lets be honest trudeau it’s good only at speaking. You destroyed Canada with your immigration ideology. Trump is making his business, and don’t worry about usa, their economy will not be affected from the Canadian tariffs

Good on Canada. Trump is a traitor, as is Vance and the entire Administration. Americans are deeply embarrassed by the harm Trump is doing to the United States and the world. We do NOT stand with Trump and never, ever will.

What I can't understand is why Trudeau is saying all this stuff when the people of Canada hate him and he's on his way out.. Is this Trudeau trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes... We have the same in the UK.... Everyone hates Starmer but he's trying to sugarcoat himself to make him look good... \nI'm sticking with Trump.. ?

Kentucky here. Good riddance Canada. Exactly what we voted for. You need us more than we need you. You take of advantage of America and expect us to just sit and take it. Guess what we don’t play that game no more. So kiss our American butts and get over it. Trump 4-Ever. MAGA till we die.

From the netherlands, Go Canada! Lets indeed not forget that there are lots of good americans, and americans who felt in comrade Trumps Lies. Stay safe!

Who cares speech about your speech Trudeau?? Canada will do good when you step down!! You destroyed the beautiful country!!

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

wish I have good neighbor like Canada

This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

Canada is going to get smashed. Good luck

According to the series Fallout the annexation of Canada will take place in 2070 so we have time before the first nuclear dance, but the paranoia of the USA has started earlier than expected with this government, good luck.

Good on you, Canada!

American here. I am ashamed by my country. I am shocked red hats thought the orange baby was a good choice. \n\nGo Canada. We are with you.

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

Good ? ? we all have to suffer, but stand up Canada. Do not walk away from this coward, Donald Trump.

When countries put tariffs on the US the citizens pay more for goods. Now Canada will tariff their own imported goods like beef, vegetables, cars, cosmetics etc and who’s gonna pay the price, Canadian tax payer. See the difference?

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

Stay strong Canada! Do not dispare! Do not cry! Do not kneel! Know that other parts of the world are having it much harder then you will ever have it, and they don t cry, and they don t flinch. My heart is with you. Remain a force for good in the world. God bless Canada!

This is getting ugly. Canada is already in a not good way and this will make it worse. I am not taking sides, but Canada will suffer more than the U.S.

Let’s not forget that Canada already has Tariffs on American goods

Yes, let the bankrupt Canada who is taxing their own people into poverty start a trade war instead of just complying. What a good idea, Fidel Jr.?

I´m from Finland , and to you , Mr. Trudeau, i have to say: You are an true statesman. I hope that your clear and calm way to say how some things really are , reaches a certain house in u.s.a. All good to Canada & to You !!

Very smart Canada !! Just close border of Canada and USArussia , let’s USArussia have their way , good job Canada ???????

As an American, I can say I 100% stand with Canada and their response. Trump and his henchmen are LITERALLY severing ties with our greatest allies while simultaneously sucking up to scumbag Putin! I can’t understand how this can be a good thing? We’re becoming just another authoritarian nation at this point…

Justin Trudeau has been forced to step down! \nCanada charges 25% tariff for all US goods exported into Canada! You notice how the ex Prime Minister doesn’t mention that this is a reciprocal tariff Canada charges us 25% for anything in the US export to them and some farm items they refuse to allow in their country! With that said! Justin Trudeau is a huge hypocrite, Tyrant, Dictator!

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.
