Sadly, I was Very Startled by This Trade War. This is Very Unecessary!!! Canada Is America's Closest Neighbour, How can President Trump even think of doing this to Canada??? I am TREMENDOUSLY DISAPPOINTED with DT!!!!! This is not the way to treat your Neighbour and Allie. Shame . . . Shame . . . . SHAME On Him!!!

Deeply ashamed to be American and that filthy parasite in the White house is NOT my president. Bravo canada standing up to that miserable bully!!

I am from Slovenia-EU I support Canada 100% I am so proud of you !

I am from Germany and I stand with Canada, Mexico, the Ukraine and with all US American citizens who are not supporting Trump.

The US has started an unsanctioned trade war against Canada. How is this different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine? The US needs to have sanctions slapped on them by the rest of the world like has been done to Russia.

Go Canada

Not even the Canadians care what this clown says. They absolutely HATE him. Furthermore, Canada already taxes US goods at upwards of 350% in some cases. The time for taking advantage of America is over. EVERY American should be happy about that. The people in these comments supporting this tool are ignorant fools.

I stand by Canada but Trudeau you are trash and can’t wait for you to step down

From Texas, Trump is acting like a 5-year-old child. Canada has always been our closest ally; these tariffs are a slap in the face that will harm not only working class American, but it also spits on generations of close friendship and trust between our countries. This is lunacy. I pray for all of our Canadian friends and for all Americans.

Canada ?? ❤❤ I am American ?? I love Canada ❤

Donald woke up and chose violence. Hes clearly unfit. Sorry Canada that too many people here voted for a bully.

What does Canada sell us? I will stop buying.

This is beyond laughable.???? Canada has zero impact on the world.

If you are with Canada then move there and don't buy American products. Problem solved

Canada isn’t America’s closest friend ? That’s the United Kingdom (also a left wing hellhole)

Super discours. Hate que la bagarre commence ! Le Canada va sortir beaucoup plus fort et independant de cette guerre commerciale.

A man of principle against the one with no values. Canada fought back on principle grounds.

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Looks like Canada back down…. Looks like you American uninformed foo-ls don’t know how REAL negotiations work

I support you, Canada! XO - an American

Add another 25% on Canada for talking smack.

If Canada is such a great friend of the US, then why have they not paid their NATO bill or manned their borders? Also, if Canada feels that the US is being unfair or not great friends and allies, then wy the public temper tantrum. Go find new friends build new alliances. Dear Canadians you are a sovereign nation. JT says you will fight? Why? The US is also a sovereign nation and has a right to be friends with any country. Yes, including Russia. Isnt that what you claimed when Russia invaded the Ukraine? Ukraine could be friends with anyone and did not give Russia the rigt to invade.

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

New Zealander here. Stay strong Canada. Don't let Trump screw you over like he does to his own people.

I want to move to Canada cause this is what a true leader does and speak unlike this clown that’s in office now

All you US dems liberal cnn brainwashed morons speaking good about Trudeau is hilarious. This idiot has destroyed Canada that's why he and his libtards is getting the boot come election. Liberal woke idiots

Canada's Gavin Newsome ?

Poland with Canada ❤

Let's just stop this shit since when do we have issues between the US and Canada? Why is this happening? Please stop Donald this can't end good ?

As an enemy to USA, China got 5% less in tariffs than the ally Canada?

That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

A Filipino here with friends in Canada and I support Canada, PM Trudeau and its citizens.

As a North American I’m glad Canada is holding their ground. It might be the proof our errant voters need to come to their senses

Canada looks frightening. Almost dystopian

Proud of my Prime Minister. Handling the situation like a champ. Thank you Americans for supporting Canada, we support you as well and I sincerely hope that we will be able to solve this. Donald is such a shame for the whole world… unreal.

Hey Canada ??, everybody in America isn't poor, we'll survive

Stand strong against the petty bully, Canada ?? \nWe all support your country.

As an American, I stand with Canada and any other country that is repelled and repulsed by the idiocy that is the Trump administration. Blaming anyone and everyone for our own shortcomings is a fools errand and a petty and idiotic way of governing. This country is under the rule of a narcissistic dictator wanna be and a cult of clueless clowns.

CANADA you GANGSTA!\nRespect my friends, nuthing but love from NZ and Australia!

Canada helped U.S. on 911 like no other nation could,using a small airport meant for smaller planes to help by allowing jumbo jets to land,while we gladly housed Americans there. - Through Our Lens - A 9-11 Story

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Go Canada ??

Love and Support for Canada all the way ??❤️

Where does Russia and Putin come into Canada's squabbles with the US?

Brave, bold, justified and resonable response from Canada. Weldone.

Total support to Canada ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ?.

Now imagine if Trudeau led Canada like this his entire Prime Ministership, this is like dirty dog calling another dirty dog a filthy animal.

American from North Carolina here. 100% support for Canada's reaction. Many of us can't wait for this utter nightmare to end.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.
