Canada was training with our enemies. They let the Chinese military backdoor the United States and we won't stand for it. The line has been drawn.

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.

no more abusing United State by any foreign trade

Trudeau failed to mention all the billions Canada owes the United States which caused the tariffs to start with. Trudeau you have stepped on it big time so keep kissing the globalists tail!

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

I hope and pray that the US military that took their solemn oath to protect the people of the United States and our constitution both foreign and abroad will stand by their oath now as American needs you very very much to protect us from the dictator in the White House so please stand on your oath

i was raised in Canada, SO WAKE UP AMERICA, this can destroy the UNITED STATES

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

IT'S NOT THE UNITED STATES BABOSO. IT'S TRUMP, VANCE AND MUSK! TRUMP IS NOT A SMART MAN! IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND NOT EVEN HIS FOLLOWERS. IT'S JUST HIM. KISS THE RING! I'M TRYING TO SAVE UP FOR MY RETIREMENT. IT WILL ALL BE GONE, GONE. MY NEST EGG GONE.! MAGA, MAKE AMERICA GARBAGE AGAIN!

Not the United States but Trump

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

Glad that The United States is finally treating its “allies” how they should be treated. Figure out your own problems. I hope the U.S leaves NATO, UN and any other bullshit groups.

Closest partner and ally allowed drugs and illegals to come across into the United States while at the same time disparaging their own citizens.\nConfiscate their property (guns), imprison them for free speech, freeze bank accounts,trample their rights. Yes, we all love Canada....

Must be nice for Canadians to have a strong intelligent leader like Trudeau. We now have Trump .. again (WTF). Guess we know which direction the United States is going. Very sad situation.

Wait a second, just a few weeks ago CNN was saying that Canada had outfoxed the US/Trump and they were not doing anything more than what they had decided to do well before Trump's election when it comes to stopping illegal immigration and the transport of fentanyl into the US? Now they are trying to convince us that Canada is very understanding and accommodating of US needs and is doing a lot!!!! Fake News Network! True Americans should stand with United States of America and not Canada. LOL

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

I voted for Trump and Im still proud it. However, I stand with Canada on this issue so long as Canada doesn't take advantage of the United States and does everything in it's power to stop illegals and fentanyl from crossing the border.

He says United States, but it doesn’t mean all of us - Just Trump

Nobody should ever confuse the United States with Trump, Musk, and their minions.

Ive switched from buying things from the united states, and instead im buying from canada.

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.

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

We are in a crisis in the United States! Our Republican government are supporting DT's dictatorship moves and we all will suffer?

How did we end accepting a lunatic in the white house? Someone who plays with the lives of humankind like it is another of his failed enterprises, it's really scary to think in the future considering not even the United States is safe with this person in power. We are definitely in a new era where super rich and not government rule but also when political correctness have gone forever.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

All politicians are corrupt, but Justin Trudum takes the cake. Listen to Pierre Poilievre speech to the United States. 1000 times better.

We should become the 51st State so that we can become a super power with the United States, that would be the smart thing to do.

Bro just focus on canada....lmao...I don't think foreign leaders should be speaking for Americans. You're not Americans. We both know why this is happening,,,you're country censors speech,,The Trumps administration do not like that one bit. As long as Canada is led by a liberal (meaning liberal/communist/marxist/woke policies being passed),,it's a threat to national security to the United States (If a republican is President). It just beats the logic of being an American.

Thank you Justin Trudeau! You are a true leader. I'm ashamed to admit I am a United States citizen. Sorry, I did not vote for the traitor. He's an ignorant out-of-control bully and those who support him are all liars and are kissing his ring. They are spineless.

Europe and other NATO countries and affiliates, like Canada, are going to have to develop or implement their contingency plans, as they have been. We are no longer a reliable ally to anyone. It's the United States government, not the people of the United States, although somehow we reelected this clown show.\n\nNot a conspiracy theorist, but I will never believe he freely won all 7 swing states.

As a 20 year veteran i am embarrassed of my president and the republican whom are afraid to support the citizens of the United States over Russia

As a European, I can say that Europe is next. \nSince the episode with Zelensky, an anti-United States wave has already been noticed

Canada is not a friend of the United States, not with you in charge, Justin Trudeau??? step down resign Justin you fascist dictator

“Let’s be clear Frenchman………\nPeople who actually serve my country are now being fired at alarming rates by rising oligarchs, and world traitors of international world trade….Those who will never set fire to the original constitution of the United States Of America nor will they break the humane will of the American people…”\n\nAs you were\n????‍?????‍⬛???‍?‍➡️?

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine had the world's third largest nuclear arsenal. Ukrainians were prepared to eliminate that arsenal to transfer the warheads to Russia, but the Ukrainians asked for security assurances that the United States and Russia would respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, that there would be no use of force or threat of force against Ukraine. \n The 1994 Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances was the document that reflects those commitments by the United States, Russia also joined by Great Britain to extend to Ukraine those assurances, including respect for its territorial integrity. \n it's very clear that Russia is in violation of its commitments, not only to the Budapest Memorandum, but also commitments that it's made as a member of the United Nations and also as a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

united states needs to learn to depend on their selfs. just like back in the old days. not ask for anything from anyone else. do we really need it that bad come on now. do we. thats the question. He So Vein worried how about the people who are backed up from gaza or other foreign places who got a pass to get into canada. but just put them on hold. some have starve to death waiting. just saying.

The United States of Russia

Not the United States, Donald Trump we don’t want it

A friend of an advisory is an advisory. That friend, unfortunately, is the president of the United States.

México nowdays has a efficient, knowledgeable. and honest president that wanted to have fair trade agreements with Canada and the United States ...however the US government choose to fight and blame the neighbors to the north and south by braking every single rule of the free trade among the three countries ......CHINA , CANADA AND MEXICO ....oviously will retaliate the same way and Definitely the US citizens will be the most hurt ....mexico always have been resilient from wars. Pandemics , bad politicians , economy , etc etc etc ....mexicans have the strength to recovery sooner than later and this one won't be diffrent .....mexico will continue to have agreements with Europe. Asia , and Latin America with the option to have talks with bricks ...we all know the world is totally diffrent.now .....The 1800s are gone and will never come back that's for sure !!

I like how people act like Canada is a good country when they are replacing their people in break next speeds and they can hardly afford groceries. Their government is even more corrupt than the United States.

USA need that tariffs they are losing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS from JOE BIDENS funds to Eukrain, which was 32 billion.now USA needs money back. Theycan nott afford sending aid to Eukrain while United States population needs more help.

They used to make those fertilizers here in the United States, but it was cheaper in Canada because the Canadian dollar was so low

As an Ohioan living on the Lake Erie border with Canada for 23 years, I am a best friend of your nation and your citizens! Canada is a great friend to the United States! Our President is wrong in thinking that tariffs will accomplish anything good for Americans or the world’s citizens!

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

Maybe long industry will come back to the United States and all of the kids I went to high school with have jobs again they haven’t had since the late 2000’s

Anti-Americanism? Really? This is a direct response to the United States' recent stance against the world itself. Canada isn't at fault, nor should it be held responsible for this trade war.

Both the United States and Canada lose in the trade war, but China wins.
