It could be a good deal for north america to take over Haití and set the microchip industry over there restoring a small hub like that would make all haitianians greatly greatfull with USA IDK is just a suggestion for Mr Trump and his gabinete to think about.

From SOUTH AFRIKA - Good Job President Trudeau. Trump has gone bananas, literally. In South Afrika Trump and Afriforum (racist Boere aka white racist organisation that misses and pushes Apartheid agenda) are causing havoc by spreading propoganda of lies about non- existing land grabs and white genocide. These lies are being peddled and given life by that Mars Alien - Elon Musk because we refused his SPYlink Satellite without an empowerment stake (Black Economic Empowerment - which is regulated due to past imbalances). He got mad mad and started working racist right wing organisation that misses segregation

As long as Trump voters don’t understand that they need to pay for this, this stupid agenda of raising tariffs on foreign goods will continue.

This man is a good leader unlike trump I voted for that clown ? bag shame on me, he lied and I felt for it,

Mr Trump says the Tariff is good for America economy. He spoke about that in Congress. Of course it will have a boomerang effect but certainly he and his administration have discussed about it and decided the best for America.

I am from the UK, America what is trump doing to your country? This is not looking good.

Canadians have memory holed the last 8 years of Trudeau running Canada into the ground Trump is a gift to Trudeau who comes out looking good. We are living in an 80s action movie with a dumb script that all comes together at the end with some low grade cheep chest thumping bravado

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

Its good he speaks slowly and uses easy, child level, words so that Trump can understand him.

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

Forever tarnishing the good name of the USA, Trump is a Traitor, History will show him to have commited Treason.\nThe rest of the world sees' Trump as Putin's little bitch.\nChina is laughing, next he will be handing Xi Jinping Taiwan.\nTrump will be remembered for all the wrong reasons', and American's will wonder how they let him sell them out.

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

Good on you kicking Trump right up the ass Trump is a wolf ? in sheep's clothing ?

Good I don't blame you at all trump is a F**king idiot and the worst thing too happen to America since Benedict Arnold

oh my goodness. Compare the intelligence, eloquence and dignity of this man compared to the ringmaster, Trump. America, what have you done? You've backed a ringmaster and now you have a circus for a government.

This guy is a Tool bag. Go toe to toe with Trump mate. Good luck with that

Any idiot who still thinks Donald Trump is doing a good job, then I have serious doubts about their critical thinking skills. Today I listened to Donald Trump lie and gaslight the American people, and the spineless Republicans in Congress cheered. What traitors they are to the American people.

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

very simple, all countries STOP exporting whatever you do to the USA. Give it 3 months and Trump will have to cancel 100% tariffs for the world in order to get basic goods. The world united can get this clown to stop being a total idiot.

Grettings from the beautiful and great Garden State NJ??thanks Canada, this guy Trump has some good ideas but at the same time he has a bunch of bad perceptions of the world where we lived, our allies are our friends not our enemies!

Canada already had tariffs on certain U.S. goods before the recent trade disputes escalated in 2025. Historically, Canada has maintained tariffs on various American products to protect its domestic industries, particularly in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. For example, under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA and was signed during Donald Trump’s first term, trade between the U.S. and Canada is largely tariff-free for many goods. However, Canada has long imposed high tariffs on specific U.S. products outside of these agreements, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, under its supply management system. These tariffs can reach up to 270% on milk, 245% on cheese, and nearly 300% on butter, designed to shield Canadian producers from foreign competition.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has applied tariffs on other U.S. goods over the years, often in response to trade disputes or to balance economic interests. For instance, before the latest round of tariffs in 2025, Canada had tariffs on thousands of product categories, though the exact scope and rates varied depending on the goods and trade agreements in place. Posts found on X also highlight sentiment that Canada has had tariffs on U.S. products like dairy and cars for decades, with some claiming rates as high as 25% on U.S. vehicles—though this may reflect specific cases rather than a blanket policy.\n\nIn contrast, the U.S. generally did not impose broad tariffs on Canadian goods until recent actions under President Trump, who introduced a 25% tariff on Canadian imports effective March 4, 2025, prompting Canada to retaliate with reciprocal 25% tariffs on CA$155 billion of U.S. goods. This retaliation built on Canada’s existing tariff framework but escalated the scale significantly. So, while Canada did have tariffs on U.S. goods beforehand, the current trade war has intensified the situation far beyond the pre-existing measures

Never a truer word said. Good on this real man. Trumps in bed with a wanted war criminal for mass child abuse and murder. Trump is pond life like the USA now.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Good to see a world leader stand up to Trump. Its about time. Canadians should be sorry to see Trudeau go at a time when you need a good leader.

The net effect is positive for the US and it will reduce the trade deficit and more over he can use the surplus to offer subsidies while also reducing the national debt as well. This is a good play from Trump, but the liberals will never understand him because they think with their emotions.

You would think that Trump would not put blanket Tariffs on imported goods and services from UK, Canada , Australia and New Zealand as there is a common history and connection all the back in time to the UK.

If it sounds good to your ears, Trump will spit out without worrying about consequences with Trump style, Russian sleeper cell agent NOW just wake up JUST LIKE Dracula and wracking has already started by wracking our federal government with all the lies and exaggerations making mountain out of molehills! As usual Trump's style to get your attention BY making mountains out of molehills all the small issues that can be resolved. I hereby declare ENTIRE Americans, except Russian Agent Trump's accomplice, young immature, arrogant, charlatan young JUST 40-year-old young pnk JD Vance and vast majority of Republican Party members. Henceforth, be aware that Russian agent Trump is about wracking the US and free world order, he should be removed when the Democrat Party wins both House and Senate! US

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

The whole world needs to come together and call Trump and his team out on all of this nonsense. He’s embarrassing his nation and not doing anyone any good. Think about how many bad things he has done in the last few weeks alone

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??

Trump is a disruptor. Wake up Canadians. This is a good thing in the long run.

Who are actually benefiting from this? US consumers are gonna pay more for goods, the exporters seem worried about it. Only Trump seems excited about it and the rich people probably don't care.

Pestilence Trump and Shady Vance are DETERMINED to create a world where America is hated as much around the world as the Russian and Chinese governments. The Blight House is now full to the top of the cesspool with Putin Quislings. Good one, 'Mericuh!

I'm proud to be Canadian and American is not my enemy ! God bless Canada and USA ''.....Mr. Trump dear President than the \nHoly -Spirit blowing to you a good solution about all this!??❤

As an embarrassed American I apologize to you Canada! Also, so troubled by Trump aligning with Putin. I did not vote for him as he is not a good person.

Not sure whats more disgusting, Trumps delusions or the recent praise for Turdeau due to some basic teleprompt speeches.... Make no mistake viewers, Justin Turdeau is an incompetent hypocrite who's policy's and leadership constantly embarrassed Canada on the world stage and nearly drove the countries lifestyle into the ground. There's a GOOD reason why he became the most hated man in Canada and was forced to resign over Christmas!

DUMB TRUMP I HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING BECAUSE YOU WILL BE IN THIS BY YOURSELF AND YOUR RACIST KLAN CONGRESS AND HOUSE REPUBLICIANS THAT SUCK UP TO YOU!!! NO GOOD DEED GOES UNDONE, AND LIKE ZELINSKY SAID, YOU WILL FEEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is a new ditactor of USA. Good luck americans. Brazil winner against Bolsonaro. USA LOST TO TRUMP. Good luck my friends

Good luck from Australia, If the US does this to Canada then NO US ally is safe, Trump may make America broke again. MABA.....

Congratulations America, you voted for Trump and now you're going to feel the full extent of your decision. Imported good are going to increase, inflation is increasing and your markets are going DOWN. Doesn't look like your winning, does it.

Good on you Trudeau, an? excellent responses. Hope all Americans will understand who Trump is not Americans first but for Trump himself and his billionaires NOT Americans citizens .God bless Canada.

He behaved like a politician, all emotional knee jerk reactions are from upper grass mongers , sadly majority in the society are filed with such people. \nDevil is always in the details. His local reputation is not good and to loose upcoming elections , to divert and shift focus, this is an attention diverting tactics to shift attention and make him look like a hero. \nIf he really cared for his people, he would have either prevented it by aggressive backdoor talks or, or if this happened without his awarness then he could have spoken privately to Trump to sort it out in the real interest of his own nation, cut the ego for Good of his own people and an sort it out , why he did not do it ?\nNow by publically engaging and directly targetting, he has achieved two things 1. temporary fame as majority of people are upper grass mongers are emotional but no attention to details 2. He spoiled further his relationship with Trump administration by this public spat, rubbing him on the wrong side, spoils future of his own people. Diplomacy is done by maturity not by ego.

So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

❤️??❤️ I truly hope anyone who thought that Trump cares for any but himself may now see that he does not and will not be doing any of you any good. His mental state is extremely unstable. The simple fact that he wants to partner up with Putin should be a big eye opener. ❤️??❤️

Russia on non-agricultural goods their tariff is only 7.1 % wake up Americans why no new tariffs on Russia? ?? but our neighbors 25% consumers will pay so will all market holders. First March Trump was in office market crash. Second go around is going to crash again?

Just called Trump dumb. Not good

Yet there are still tonnes of DUMB Americans who thinks that Trump does is good for them. LOL

Washington State resident here. Could we secede and merge with BC? Seriously, Trump has made it absolutely clear that his actions and intentions have nothing at all to do with what is good for the ordinary citizens of this country or the future of American democracy. Please know that you have our full support for your retaliatory actions. We will endure this together until this treasonous egotist in the White House is reined in somehow.

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

good for Justin Trudeau for calling out Trump's lies. He is using any bullshit excuse that gives him power to decide things on his own.

I thought Just-in was retired... well that's what MSNBC told me? Man he's good looking, like a young Donald Trump
