Good riddance of Canada. The US has subsidized them for too long. Bye bye and take that pisshole Europe with you.

So I guess it is only a trade war when the US demands reciprocal tariffs? It seems like injustice to be put on an even playing field when you have not been being held to the same standards. Canada, Mexico and most other countries have had tariffs on the goods they send to the US for decades; why all of the complaints now? Isn’t it fair that the US charge tariffs if Canada and Mexico charge tariffs? Yes, it is. What the hell is Trudeau even flapping his gums about? Perhaps all aid should be taken from Canada and Mexico for being ungrateful. You ever heard of the North American Union? It’s a thing. Look it up. You will probably have the Amero in your wallet before long.

Do the people commenting know Canada and the rest of the world already have tariffs on US goods? Why should it be one-way Tariffs?

Canada and Mexico should not lift these tariffs until the Trump administration ends. Trump will not stop this bullshit until he gets to annex Canada.

I'm in Montana and I stand with Canada! Thank you Mr. Trudeau and know that the vast majority of American's are on your side.

Why don’t we have president like Canada. I’m so jealous. This country is so unstable I have stop all major capitalizable \nInvestments.

As an American. Canada made it clear with the Truckers who they represent.

Canadian here; Trudeau spent the last decade ruining Canada, destroying peoples quality of life, flooding the country with cheap labour & being compromised by rival nations. Judge a person not by what they say, but what they have done.

Canada is doing more to modernize and improve our borders against illegal crossings than we have.

Don't forget Canada Black face treaud is going to send billions to Ukraine all while you'll still have to work 3 jobs to pay your rent. ?

Canada, I am an American, and dont care about you pity little country.

Way to go Canada HIT BACK!!!!

Idiot destroyed Canada, who can trust this man?

This American wants to move to Canada!!! Thank you for speaking the truth, Mr. PRIME MINISTER

Why Trudeau is still PM He betraying Canada ?? again and again and trying to pick a fight USA ??. We Canadian do agree with Trudeau.

It does NOT make sense! I'm with Canada! FUCK Rtump!

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

I am in the US. While it will hurt all concerned, I hope Canada and Mexico go to the mat on these tariffs. We have got to get people to turn against Trump and to attempt to teach him to stop this chaos . Impossible, I know.

damn. can i live in Canada lol. The US is a joke bro

Canada has been over charging the USA on Tariffs for far too long.Trudeau you sir are full of Sh!t

Canada has been part of a family with the USA for decades, and to see it all in jeopardy now is appalling. \nNeed I remind our governance here in the US that CANADA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL ARTICLES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS (and not because they drafted the resolutions!)?? \nBottom line is Trump is causing a worldwide upheaval that is going to completely realign the power and economies of EVERY nation on earth, and the US is not going to fare well. \nPathetic.

Love to Canada, from Denmark <3

Trudeau is a total DICKHEADD always trying to scare americans, AND hes hella manipulative , he shoud worry about canadians and stop trying to pep talk U.S natives like were babies , we know whats up, hes just mad that we Americans are standing up to the bullshit were fuckenn tired as well,, weve been seeing prices go up, and thats why were fighting back , FUCKK YOUUUU CANADA AND YOUR LEADER!. straight up like that,, yall dont give a fucc about us yall never do. yall didnt send help when the fires were happening in california.

I feel exactly the same way that woman feels standing behind Justin Trudeau. Coming from a dual citizen of America and Canada ??

Hey Canada, feel welcome to the EU - it's a better place to deal with!

Canada, Mexico, The US West Coast and the US NE should form it's own alliance and country.

As someone form the Caribbean that welcome everyone from everywhere, praises to Canada on the response of Trump and his enablers madness. Changing my summer vacation from Orlando to Toronto. Eff…Trump and Company.

Two things come to mind after hearing about all this stuff. Why you go on live TV and waste your time when you could attempt to talk it out with the American government? Also, if the United States is posing a 25% tariff in Canada is doing the exact same thing isn't it more or less a wash?

From Pennsylvania and I gave Much respect for Canada. Don’t back down Canada. Democracy needs you now more than never.

What an incredible speech! As a U.S. American, I’m ashamed of our country. I stand with Canada.

God Bless America ?? \nI back Donald Trump 1000% \nDonald is a smart man Canada knows it and it is time for them to pay up.

Canada is right, trump is wrong. This is a huge mistake and average Americans will pay the price.

Trumps just pissed because Canada won't let Trump make them the 51st state. Trump is an ass****.

Trump is provoking Canada into cutting energy supplies to the northern states, to set US citizens against Canada, as a prelude to an attempt to annex Canada. This could be explained if Trump has been talking to Putin and colluded on a plan to divide the world between them. This would also explain his insane plan to annex Gaza, as an excuse to react to the inevitable violence that would attract on its 'American' territory. Taking Greenland would be next, while Putin moves into Europe. Well done, American voters...you've killed us all.

@Tradeau, Stop lecturing us about tariffs and threatening Americans. Your country has high taxes, and before it affects Americans, Canadian citizens will feel the consequences more. Additionally, stop pushing illegal immigrants and fentanyl across the US border. You call it a trade war, but we Americans call it a fair deal. You were well informed about the consequence but you never got serious about the warning. Canada must check strictly shipments from Mexico and China.

we are no longer paying you for being a friend canada can f off dont need canada florida has ferterlizer we have wood the golden age dose not eenclude supporting other countries any more

Canada suck freeloading mofos

I agree. Here is a perplexing question which may shine some light into what is happening here. Why are we always hearing what comes from Canada into the US when more fentynal and illegal guns come into Canada from the US than the other way around? What are they doing for us?\nFentanyl going into the US was just an excuse.

What an erudite speaker Justin is. Not the mumbling bumbling incoherant twerp that Trump is. Best wishes to you Canada.

It’s suspicious that Trump’s is giving the SOTU address on the same day as he abrogates our commitments to Ukraine and instigates an illogical tariff war against our friends Canada and Mexico.

Mr. Trudeau the fentanyl is full of bullshit and every estate of the United States they are factories of fentanyl this so called billionaires the only thing they try to do is pretend they can get away with everything. I don’t understand why the people in United States the letter get away so easy. The most danger is musk you have the right to take him the citizenship as a Canadian. We hear in United States support\n Canada days don’t last too long when people get pissed off things happen

He is doing it because Canada refuses to be the 51st state. He is a demented psychopathis lunatic traitor.

If the Canadian government wants to compete commercially with the US government, it doesn't have to threaten the American people that it will increase inflation in America. What Canada has to do is comply with what the US government has told it. The US has told Canada to stop drug trafficking from Canada to the US. That's all. But they haven't done it. Canada won't gain anything by threatening the US.

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

I'm with Canada

We love you Canada. Trump did this not us. Most of us didn't not vote for Trump.

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

?Trudeau is a bad joke and worse, a liar. Trump demands secure borders to protect our citizens. Trump is establishing RECIPROCAL tariffs to improve our economy in a fair and just manner. Trudeau says Canada is “polite,” but the hockey game between us proved otherwise. Canada is a neighbor we can live without. \nHopefully Canada will return to sanity, common sense and decency under new leadership and we can resume previously held good relations with our Northern neighbors.

This person made Canada a safe Haven for terrorists and drug cartels. Why is Canada allowing such people to talk about USA. He did the same for India (Modi) and was forced to resign

Mind you trump wants the whole of canada as a state of US
