As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

Good speech! Europe and Canada strong together!

Been whatever on Trudeau but he's talking some clear words here, our European leaders should follow and also work closer with Canada.\nAlso our politicians should discontinue using X as a platform to communicate with the electorate - it's undemocratic.

It's all beginning to make sense, why attack Canada if you wanted to insure the security of the arctic? It's because he wants to take Greenland for the Russians and Chinese.

Oh Canada \nWish you were my home and native land

Trudeau is out - the tariffs are now equal - what is he talking about ?? No one is fighting with Canada - and Trump is trying to end a war between Russia and Ukraine - no one had been able to talk Putin into a cease fire and possible peace until Trump! Stop all this bs!

Canada is weak and couldn't defend it's own boundaries without the united state of America

Yea, I mean.. nevermind that Trudeau has already ran Canada's economy into the ground, all by himself.

I served in the USMC back in 1981 to 1984 and I stand with Canada

Go Canada it's about time someone stood up to this bully he is an idiot and should be in a care home he is an old orange lump that is suffering from dementia

I'm with Canada

All power in one stubborn hand and not listening to well wishers and joining hands with enemies a recipe for disaster of common man in both USA and Canada . Anyway our enemies are happy and laughing at our stupidity.

TRudau caused all this .... Canada has been broken by this turd,

thats a real leader and not elon and his little dictator puppet trump. be more respectful to your allies. we in europe will take everthing canada has to offer!!

The American president is an idiot. But you know what... they deserve whatever they get. Canada will prosper without the US.

it's interesting.. now Canada wants to help stem the flow of drugs and illegal immigration into the US.. why not put a high priority on this issue in the years prior?

Im a Filipina i stand with Canada

For your information Trudeau resigned as the Prime Minister of Canada. Canadians are waiting for a federal election date to be announced. After 9 years Canadians overwhelmingly want rid of this fool. Our economy is in ruins long before the American people elected Donald Trump

Oh no! Canada is mad! ?? \nGuess whose economy is bigger????

3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.

The real reason for Donald Trump to implement the tariffs is to force Canada to become a state of USA. period.

F Canada

I love Canada ?? From USA ??

Why was it ok for Canada to put tariffs on American vehicles for the past 10 years?

Canada has the winning hand. Canada has resources that USA needs to survive. USA has nothing to offer to Canada to survive. If Canada should cut energy to USA, let’s see who is the boss. For say, Canada is the biggest producer for potash, a fertilizer needed for the American fields. Canada will suffer from these tariffs but USA will cash down harder. Hell will come down on USA unfortunately hurting our American friends and relatives south of Canadian border.

So sorry Canada. We are embarrassed to see this!!!! Got shame DJT

Please trade with us in Europe.. We are happy to buy Canadian instead of US goods.. I feel sorry for the US people who did not vote for trump.. Go Canada!!

I support Canada, I have researched their border actions and its true what the Prime minister says, again says Trump lies

So Americans want to give money away because Canadas president doesn't want to pay 25%. Americans just got lazy and want other countries make their stuff instead of doing it themselves and making the price lower.

❤ from ?? Stay strong, Canada. If need be move closer and lets hold eachother. ?????????

From Finland, standing with Canada!

Trump just saved the Liberal party of Canada.

As Trump feels he has to do what he has to do, Canada has every right to respond and implement tariffs as seem fit. Canada, Mexico, and China applies pressure to Trump, he has no choice but to re-think his decision.

CANADA We love you ❤❤❤

Trump needs to raise tariffs to 100% Fuck Canada and Mexico.

STAY STRONG CANADA ❤

I can understand the tariffs on China as they are close to being more powerful than the USA… but why a trade war with Canada?? ?

I don't support tariffs to or from any country. And hopefully the entire situation is solved soon. God bless America ?? And God bless Canada. ??. ??️?

Canada Strong\nWe will not back down \nThank you prime minister and you will be missed \nStand up to that Bully

Why won’t Canada just do more to stop the drugs coming in the US there won’t be any terrifs

As a Dane I stand side by side with Canada ?? ?? Also side by side to the amarican people who can see what Trump and his administration are doing! Shame that it has to come to this, I hope that the Americans somehow can stop this, before it goes wrong. We stand together, against this madness ?❤️

How much gnp canada comes from canafreeloders

Shut up Trudeau...everyone wants peace. Trump did us a favour. Canada first.....trade within our borders and the big world

Well done, Canada! ??

I stand with Canada ?? ❤️

Time for us to trade in our Trudeau pesos for USD Canada 51 state is coming soon

Canada is not dealing with a real President. We are dealing with a billionaire megamaniac who is using the presidency as a steppingstone to having ultimate power and absolute authority over the entire planet.

Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

Hopefully, the US quits giving Canada 200 billion a year in aid . This clown is trying to have Trump raise Canadians tariffs even more. Maybe close the Border .

Hahahha bozo leader , Canada get your shit together. ur broke from funding far, far left BS so u need 250 billion from the US per yr HAHAHA we dont need u!!!!
