The speech was great. Honestly, I am appalled. Be strong, Canadians. Tariffs of 25 percent are soon to be implemented in Europe as well. From Sweden, standing with Canada

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Canada has been our BFF almost forever. How can we treat them this way?

I'm an American and I stand with Canada against this racist gangster called Donald J. Trump.\nTrump will eventually lose this trade war.

Aside from this being how a world leader should speak & act, everything Prime Minister Trudeau spoke about is true. I'm American so idk the ins & outs of why he resigned but from here he's doing Canada ?? proud. Its gut wrenching that us Americans are stuck with the ? oompa loompa we have sitting in the Oval office. Trump has not only stomped all over our constitution, he's broken several laws along the way.

Why oh why can't America get a leader like Canada why do we have to subject ourselves to an ignorant buffoon

Only some of America wants this. The rest of us think Donny and Elon are crazy. ❤? Hang in there! Remember many of us love you Canada!

WOW...A NORMAL person. Canada is so lucky

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S. but losing their mind over 25% tariffs \nGoods: \n⁃ Dairy Products: \n⁃ Milk: 270% \n⁃ Cheese: 245% \n⁃ Butter: 298% \n⁃ Poultry: 238% \n-Eggs: 163% \n⁃ Barley: 160% \n⁃ Wheat: 94% \n⁃ Sugar: 265% \n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295% \n⁃ Rice: 150% \n⁃ Vegetables: 100% \n⁃ Fish Products: 100% \n⁃ Lumber: 20% \n⁃ Shoes: 30% \n⁃ Cocoa: 30% \n⁃ Metals: 25% \n⁃ Wool: 30% \n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%

Canada work with Europe please! We want people with principles as our partners.

I wonder if the millions of Americans who voted for this sick man, Trump, hold the same hostile views toward Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau is a complete fool who already killed Canada. As a Canadian I think he is beyond corrupt and mentally ill.

Prudeau is a crazy dictator. He has never cared for Canada, only the illegals who live there. It must be hitting his scam money!!

Man, this is kinda scary. I would never say anything like this but Canada is our closest ally.

We have been subsidizing Canada for many years. Gotta pay your fair share.

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

Canada, just join the EU. We are happy to have you as one more member of our family

Trust me a lot of drugs are coming from South America there are many Central and South American going to Canada and shipping it this way to the United States of America

Mr. Trudeau.. I wish you hadn't stepped down as PM. You're a noble leader for Canada.

Trump speaks two languages. Dumb and Dumber!\nThank you Canada! Many of us stand with you. Hoping we can remove Trump soon and get back to fair trading with our great neighbors!

We should just take over Canada!

Can we trade presidents Canada ? plzz just for like a month because he is a real president unlike somebody we know over here in America

Canada needs to stop living off of the United States the bleeding of money and military support has to stop

The response of Trump will be : Trudeau is a nasty man ! \nTrump is unable to complete a sentence ! Peace for our ailles Canada from France ?

This US Citizen will always love our allies, especially Canada, no matter what Trumplets do to destroy the USA!!

I'm an American who is terrified of the future. I stand with Canada and the rest of the world. I pray that this will end before we are completely destroyed.

We love Canada

As.an American, Canada I support you. Trump's an absolute idiot

Strand our ground,Canada.

All the naysayers of the USA, move to Ukraine or Canada! Bye

Go Canada. We have lunacy and insanity here in the US. Trump is a traitor.

British…..Canada over USA every time go Canada go

Canada's response to America's tariffs under Trudeau is a masterclass in balancing diplomacy with pragmatism. While the U.S. pursues a protectionist agenda, Canada stands resilient, leveraging strategic countermeasures and asserting its sovereignty. Trudeau's approach is not just about retaliating in kind; it’s a nuanced display of commitment to fair trade and a reminder that economic interdependence cannot be taken for granted. In a world where global relations are increasingly volatile, Canada’s measured response signals both defiance and cooperation, leaving the door open for a future where both nations can find common ground amidst the tension.

I would add the well being of the WORLD depends on what Canada and others do to stand up to Trump's bullying.

The only they is Trump and the dumbasshats that voted him in office. Now when our vehicles cost going up, fuel, grocery, utilities. Basically everything we rely on because of this orange peel that is good because Elon bought him. Then the asshats will cry foul. Y’all voted him in office because he promised you cheaper eggs. Well a basic dozen of eggs is $7 and a ends about to be paying that for fuel, not to mention many of our states electricity is out of Canada.

Justin Trudeau is hated by most Canadian folk.\nTrudeau needs to leave the stage, WOKE POLITICS is finished. \nAmerica will happily work with Canada ?? but not Trudeau.

Republicans sure like Russia, but not Canada. Weird

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

Thank you, Canada Prime Minister. This is a sad day for all of us. \nBut someone has to stand up to Trump, who is a bully, racist, Bigot, Natzi.

Australian here. I stand with Canada

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...

yon dont have right to advise us as a american citizens here @ ?? america we are american people who choose president trump he’s not forcing you dont sending your product in america without tax that they called it tariffs !! ??? canada president no free @ all !!

How it feels when some European countries didn't support Gaza? \n\nNow this is first time in history to see that how US has ditched Europe and Canada.\nThis will lead to New type of World order, in which Global South will get more benefits than Global North. \nAnd China will be greatest beneficiary among global Soth countries.

As a German, I would say I would be happy to have Canada in the EU...????? the blond in the White House is setting the whole world on fire. Alliances that existed for decades... kicked in the ass... sad... especially as a neighbor like Canada

GO Canada. GO China. GO Mexico. Bring America to its knees. Let Trump know that you will not be bullied. Let Americans freeze, starve, and crawl in the streets. We don't want Trump. He is destroying our country. Biden was bad, but Trump is awful.

BRAVO CANADA!

If I was the President of the United States I would give what voters want cut off Canada.

its like americans forget canada are the reason for the geneava convention...

I am so proud of Mr. TRUDEAU, I am an American and retired veteran and so sick of our Administration doing this to Canada and Mexico. I served with some great Canadians from NATO BACK IN 1998-2000. IT’s so sad to see this happening today.

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.
