All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

My biggest thing with all of this is Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and dozens. Other countries /nations had no issue when we were aligning their pockets with money. Mind you OUR TAX MONEY as someone who had damage from the last two hurricanes to my home/roof I filed for FEMA, I was denied in less than 12 hours. We have plenty of money to go around to these other f****** countries but we don't have the money or anything to help our own people no....

❤ We love you, Canada!?? ?

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

Trump will also increase Canada's tariff by 25% too ?????

I love that he pitches part of this in Sesame Street language and tone that just maybe Trump will understand \nLove you Canada from the U.K.

I stand with Trudeau and Canada

Im moving to Canada ?

American from Colorado stands with Canada. Take the lights out in the red States.

This will hurt both countries, the difference is that Canada still has friends.

Maybe Trudeau can use the tariff incomes to expand Canadas military? I suggest pilot training and recruitment in the RCAF and RCN.

As a Californian, I\nstand with Canada.

Unbelievable how all these comments show that the wool has been drawn over all your eyes. This man is a tyrant and cares not for his own people, never mind the Americans. Go ask the truckers and real grafters of your country.\n \nAll I can say is what he’s doing here with this speech and his actions is he is in fact sugar coating it and this is making it more likely that Canada will be the he 51st state. So I welcome you Canada with open arms. Xx

Retract the Carbon tax immediately in Canada. Dah. Put a 100% tariff on Tesla.

Trump needs to be held responsible for this mess. With Ukraine, with Canada, and with Putin. He lied to us, as he always does.

I stand with Canada and if the USA now thinks it’ll find better friends than Canada and the UK, well, good luck with that… ???????

Go Canada ✊

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

Canada has been sucking on the teet of America for too long. They need to be their own country and stop relying on the US. They can't defend themselves without us. That alone should require some kind of compensation. Everyone including Canada has taken advantage of the USA for to long and when we stick up for ourselves we're the bad guys

I hope EU steps up massively and stand by Canada in these trying times. ?? ?❤️??

BTW Mexico is NOT a friend CNN lol - Tariffs on mexico im fine with Canada doesnt need any

We got this Canada! ?? I hope everything gets better soon with our American friends.

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

You don't have to go all the way to Ukraine. To get precious metals, you just have to go to canada.

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.

Maybe it's time for Canada to get together with Great Britain and with EU and put economic sanctions on the USA?

As a Canadian yes it will hurt us. But you news anchors gloss over the fact that canada is only being hit by the US, whereas the US is being hit by everyone you keep picking fights with. The US will be affected majorly by each country you lose favor with. You may be big and powerful, but you didn't get there alone.

I have a hard to believe that Trudeau, will stand witch Canada. I still remember the protest with the truck drivers.\nHe fled, and also froze their bank accounts.

Trump Administration doesn't care about America... I stand with Canada and Ukraine

Canada needs to understand that they don’t hold a leg to stand on. Put a trade embargo on Canada! We don’t need Canada. Canada will collapse!

I’m in US and it’s so bad here, I can’t believe ppl voted for Trump. So PROUD OF U CANADA ??

So you had to hurt Canada by putting a tariff on their stuff so we can pay more for our product that we buy from them? I would say just let them pay more on our stuff and go from there.

Trudeau is not that popular in Canada, but he is one thing,he's not Trump.He cares about Canadians, and our Sovereignty. Trump has sold out Americans to Russia, and is president only to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself from the position. He has no interest in the American people, only in revenge for supposed flights to him by just about everyone, as he is a petulant child.

Bravo, Prime Minister Trudeau! Elbows up, Canada!!!!

man some of my best friends live in canada. this speech made me tear up. I knew trump wasn't gonna be great but dam man. I didn't know it was gonna be this bad.

LORD God please bless Canada and protect them from the USA's bludgeoning crooked foolishness.

?man no one worried about Canada who is Canada if they want to smoke they can get it it's a joke USA!! 4life

what has putin to do with this...............what has russia done to canada....u are harbouring khalistanis... u get what u deserve

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!!!!!?? ❤

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

Blame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nIt seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along\nBlame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nThey're not even a real country anway\n\nBlame Canada! ?? \nShame on Canada, for\nThe smut we must cut\nThe trash we must bash\nThe laughter and fun must all be undone!\nWe must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us! ?? \n\n- south park

Presidente Trump told you a month ago about the trade deficit in favor of Canada, also he told you about the fentanyl problem, but you ignored it and now you are complaining. What the f...

Canadian leaders, please do not let Zelenskyy sign a mineral deal with the US. trump is setting Ukraine up to fail and take advantage of the Ukrainian people, like he lied to Americans. The world needs to now fight Russia and the White House. I stand with Canada and Mexico even though it is going to hurt my pocketbook...

I love the way he just said Make that make sense.. maybe I should move to Canada as a veteran I am very embarrassed by this stupid dumb shit president

But Canada has no problem supplying Fentynal and other Drugs from China. ?

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

110% support to Canada from Sweden

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

From Romania, I respect you, Canada!! We must stand up to these nutjobs.

Good job Canada!!
