Trump can't give a speech without it becoming a whine about how unfairly he is being treated.\nTrudeau, in the face of actual oppression, is calm, steady and professional.\nThe difference is like night and day.

As long as Trump and his administration align themselves to dictators and impose outrageous tariffs on our allies and head toward an authoritarian government, all countries from the free world need to fight back against these unfair tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration. New torch bearers for the free world and the unified free world needs to decouple from an undependable, disloyal, Trump led US. Trump is tarnishing the legacy of the US in real time.

Canada has not been straight with the US. I am IBEW. I have work side-by-side with countless Canadians who are in the IBW. I have never worked side-by-side with the US IBEW worker who has ever worked in Canada. Also Canada has been subsidizing their lumber mills for years, not charging them for The timber so they have an unfair advantage. Let’s let Canada pay their fair share to protect themselves instead of depend on the US to protect them.

Kudos to Trudeau, a lucid speech and an excellent response to the unstable Trump's about-face.\nCanada has always shown itself to be a friend and ally of the USA, it is unfair that Trump does this to you!\nCome on Canada, we Europeans are with you!\nFrom Italy.

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada are essential to protecting American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. Trudeau’s corrupt leadership has exploited the U.S. for years while failing to curb the fentanyl crisis that devastates American communities. His government’s scandals and suppression of dissent prove Canada is no longer a reliable partner. These tariffs aren’t about punishment—they’re about securing America’s future, restoring fair trade, and putting American workers first.

interesting how matching foreign country tarriffs is unfair to them

Imagine robbing the United States for years with unfair tariffs and then crying about making it fair by gaslighting Americans and Canadians by describing Trump's attempt at negotiating a peace deal and saving lives as appeasing a murderous dictator. Trudeau is a morally corrupt and cowardly piece of sht.

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.

So sorry, Canada, dear neighbor!\nAs a U.S. citizen, I am saddened and ashamed of the cruelty, unfairness, and untruthfulness of our present administration.

Long as United States money is Flying out the doors everyone is Happy but soon as they find unfairness going on… They wanting to Blame President Trump .. He’s are last Hope to save United States because down the road there won’t be any money for other countries to beg for there’s none left …. CHANGE IS DIFFICULT… But it has to be done for United States

Gen. Wesley Clark is somebody that, i have respected for over thirty years. Even Gen. Clark has expressed his displeasure over the way the Trump administration has threatened Canada with unfair tarrif's, on US'S closest ally and neighbour. It is obvious that Putin is manipulating Trump so as to isolate the US from its traditional friends and alies, as US credibility will decline internationally. Tarrif's will bring higher prices to American manufacturers and consumers and bring higher unemployment to Americans.

Canadians will be sorry.should have taken your unfair tariffs off

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

Great speech. 100% support from Europe. I hope our EU leaders get in touch quickly on how we can help Canada. They have only 40 million people and get bullied by a country 10 times as large. Unbelievably unfair. I hope the US customers will pay dearly for this unfair attack.

The only reason for doing this i think is to have an excuse for trading with Russia instead. It’s not about fentanyl or unfair trade relation it’s simply an excuse to isolate allies and make them beg for mercy.

Hypocritical of him to charge high tariffs, cry about us imposing new tariffs because of the unfair tariffs on us, saying tariffs are a bad idea, then proceeds it levy additional tariffs on us. The whole reason we imposed tariffs is because you have high tariffs on us

Closest ally that allows China inroads into the hemisphere through business and drugs. Yeah right. Those tariffs are reciprocity tariffs. As in we are charging YOU exactly what you are charging US. Stop the imbalance and the tariffs go away. BOOHOO so unfair!

I will not stand with Canada for this, because the tariffs from Canada was unfair in the first place. I see Canada as unfair because you tariff us unjustly but when it’s our turn now look at how you ball?

I was under the impression this was about not just fentanyl, but unfair trade imbalances.

I did not vote for the racist rapist felon running our country. The United States is no longer a democracy. He has made it a Dictatorship. Nobody wants this but him.\nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY\n\nthe felon running the U.S. does not speak for me. This is unfair to the residents of the U.S. \nNobody wants this but Donny Dum Dum.\nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH\n\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \n\nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \n\nIT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU DONALD. SHUT YOUR F'n PIE HOLE\nDONALD GO LIVE WITH PUTIN. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

Superb speech. And a clear casus belli for Trump. If the US economy is down significantly, he'll blame Canada, arguing that you've put unfair tariffs on the US with the specific purpose of hurting them (which is undeniable!) and it's Anschluss time, baby. Never underestimate how crazy he is.

The American people don't want tariffs on no country, this is unfair and we all will suffer for this stupid plan,this is Trumps plan and uncalled for. I am disgusted with Trump siding with Putin and Russia ,he has sold out the American people and Trump and Musk has siding with Putin. Wake up America and protest against these tariffs ,I am disgusted with Trump, please stand up to secure our democracy. I am mad and disgusted.

Stay strong, my fellow Commonwealth cousins. Canada has the fortitude to resist and also fight back on this injustice and unfair attack by your so-called 'friends'.\n\nYou have the support of your British cousins, and the rest of the EU - I honestly hope Canada is able to redirect their trade to the EU and actually get fair market prices for their valuable and exclusive resources.\n\nAs Trudeau says, NO ONE wins in a Trade War. Every stock market is down, and the US market is hit the hardest from this. This is sabotage from the inside, no doubt about it.

So the US didn’t even tell the truth on top of this tariff. Are we surprised? Trump said these previous agreements between Mexico & Canada were unfair to US, like we were getting screwed by these countries.

Canadians already had tariffs in place and were treating the USA unfair . \nThis Trudeau dude is awful

Trudeau already punishes the USA with unfair trade practices. Now that we exercise that right to protect our country, Trudeau lies with the great skill of a superb lying Trudeau.

It’s Mr. President Donald Trump sir, and next time don’t wait so long to help stop the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl coming into our country. I hope you enjoyed all the money you were getting unfairly.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

Canada has been so unfair in trade with the U S for years imbalance, soaking us with high prices for construction material, resource material, auto and mechanical products, we can make and produce our own shit, trudeau can go scratch. And i would hope my fellow Americans would stand up to these threats, where are your balls???

Canada has politely let terrorists into the United States , Canada has politely been unfair to America in trade. Canada has politly accepted Billions in free money. Goodbye Canada. In closing perhaps Canada should become ''Unwoke'' and give your people ''Free Speech''

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

37T in US debt. We’ve been unfairly treated the past 60 years from unfair trades from the world and Trump was the only President to say “enough”. What’s fair when US pays tariffs on goods but we can’t charge other countries. Let’s make trades fair. No more charities to the world paid for by US taxpayers.

Can't wait now to hear tonight the criminal orange blob whining in short incoherent sentences about his problems and about how he's been unfairly treated.\nWhat a stark difference between an intelligent coherent leader and a narcissistic sociopath moron. Go Canada!!

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

Secondly Trudeau, why hadn't you done this before? Why hadn't you invested in all this imaging, drones etc to stop fentanyl immigration and the harmful things that you knowingly allowed to enter America? Secondly, why are the tariffs so disapproportionately unfair for the American goods if they can even get there at all. But yours are being sold for pretty much not much of an increase

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Trump is NOT starting a trade war. He is equalizing the playing field. Canada was already imposing a 25% tariff on the US unfairly. Now they are charging 50% tariffs. Not fair at all!

From 0% to 25%. This will affect jobs people live hood, both side, but mostly in Canada. Completely totally unfair.

From 0% to 25%. This will affect jobs people’s live hood, both side, but mostly in Canada. Completely totally unfair.

For all of you supporting Zelenskyy, the man cannot even account for $100 billions -- yes, billions with a B -- given to his country, and his stupidity plays right into the hands of starting WWIII, if we're not in it already. Ukraine is just another source of money laundering, and here we are just willing to give more and more money without any result, except for dead bodies. There is nothing wrong for wanting peace. You can't negotiate with only one side. And for Canada, Canada has been charging us high tariffs for years, but no one has pointed out that unfairness.

What is wrong with y'all...Canadians depend on US military protection. Their military is 1/30th of our military in size and technology putting it mildly. Which allows them to focus their budget not on defense spending but on their citizens. Where US citizens pay for a huge military budget so forgive me if I could care less about Canadians and their perceived unfair tariffs.... time to pay your share or become 51st state

Will world media now start making a difference between “Trump” and “American People” like they do between “CCP” and “China”? I guess they should, lets not be unfair the other 50 percentage of Americans that didn’t vote for Trump.

If you were reasonable, the tariffs on our goods would be equal to what you want on your goods. But, no, it has been very unfair to the U.S.

People forget that Canada has been ripping off the usa and has been subsidized by usa generosity for a long time. We have problems can't afford to continue unfair and unreasonable trade while our national debt continues to skyrocket.

Justin untrue doe knows his government will go Bank rupt with out the un balanced trade deals that swindle Americans and benefits Canada so now he has to come to the bargain table to address this issue so Donald can correct this unfair trade deal Justin untrue doe is screwed and he knows it how he addresses the issue will determine if Canada goes bankrupt or not good work by Trump to press the issue to benefit America

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. 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.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

I do not undetstand. Pls explain. How can bying from canada be ”an unfair deal”. USA are free to by from another country.

I deeply regret what has happened to Ukraine and the US in supporting Putin. However, when Azerbaijan spoke out about the injustices we suffered at the hands of Armenia—with the backing of Russia—the world did not stand with us. Instead, without proper investigation, they sided with the aggressors, making an unfair judgment. At that time, I prayed for their eyes to be opened. Now, tragically, it seems like karma has come full circle. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine, and I sincerely feel for their suffering.

Trudeau is a class act imo... going out doing his job so well.. regardless of people unfairly hating on him.. wish i could say to him.. thank you sir
