The united states ain't doing s***. It's trump doing this

Trump is a Russian Spy trump is not American he is Russian born in the USA I quess next he will change Americas name to Russian United States and Congress will probably allow him to do the Supreme Court Judges and Congress oath of office is to Trump not the We the People

Mr. Trudeau, like Mr. Zelinsky are strong caring smart men who are showing us as citizens of The United States what a weak dangerous bully narcissistic leadership we have! This will hurt us not only with buying things, but alienating our country when there is a time of great need, like an, God forbid, attack!..People....WAKE UP before it's too late! Do you think putin isn't waiting for our country to become vulnerable??? so he can turn on us too!! WAKE UP

Not the United States. Donald Smuck did this.

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

From United States. I pray that trump gets impeached and those who were horrible enough to vote for him wake up. Trump is awful

I am from Denmark and stand with you Canada, i will boycott products from the United States and i will instead buy products from Canada and other countries, but certainly not from the United States. Canada, i wish you good luck with your fight against Donald Trumps and the MAGA insanity. Please Canada, spread some list of good Canadian goods on the internet so we exactly know what to buy to support you.

French here. Civilized countries to unite against USA. I feel sory about this. We have no choice.

WHY is the United States allowing Trump to throw our country away? Where are our electric leaders, our justice system, who is protecting us from this mad Man?

Mr. Trudeau the fentanyl is full of bullshit and every estate of the United States they are factories of fentanyl this so called billionaires the only thing they try to do is pretend they can get away with everything. I don’t understand why the people in United States the letter get away so easy. The most danger is musk you have the right to take him the citizenship as a Canadian. We hear in United States support\n Canada days don’t last too long when people get pissed off things happen

Make that make sense? ok, here it is.—-Trump is the most evil villain the world has ever known.-In exchange for helping Trump win both elections-Putin was handed classified documents providing Russia with the technology to determine the precise location of each deployed U.S. Navy submarine that's armed with ballistic missiles.-\nBecause of this transaction ALONE the country has no other option but to cease being the United States of America and fulfill it's role as Russia's latest conquest.\nThis is the result of allowing extreme racism to reign and placing an eminently compromised degenerate in the highest office.

Well done Trudeau , you are showing your genuine love and character by saying what is right only for the Canadian people and for this very beautiful country Canada. \nStanding with Canadians at this difficult time. Great nations face great challenges and come out of them as united and heads high

It is vital to create a new organization for commerce that unites all the countries that are being threatened by Trump. Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, UK, South Korea, and contries that are willing to fight against trump tariffs. Working together is more than necessary to create a competitive and sustainable economic environment

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

Correct me if I am wrong. Ain’t there more drugs from the United States going into Canada than the other way around.

What doesn't make sense is the United States has now become a dictatorship apparently..... Few people actually understanding or are behind what the apparent dictator is doing...

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

The Governor of the Great State of Canada is speaking against his President. The United States truly believes in its first amendment for free speech.?

I never voted for this group of freaks, President musk is out of control, his aid and Colluder, Donald Trump and the Joker JD Vance their personal interest at heart and their own pockets, trillionaire their friends out and screw the rest of us for the people who voted for him in the United States. You also will be affected a man born a privilege and wealth had your back.

Im so sick of Trump. I am so discussed with the leaders of the United States. This is discussed.Trump and his tariffs are going to start WW3

Please ?? pray for Canada and the United States because we’re in this mess together because of this wannabe dictator !

As a citizen of the United States I apologize to Canadians. I'm sorry. Thank you for everything that you have done and your friendship.

Deterioration of relations? That's an understatement,\nAn increasingly large percentage of Canadians now see the United States as our enemy - 27% a couple of weeks ago. As of today, I expect that's up to at least 50%.\nPrior to November, that number would have been negligible. Pollsters never thought it relevant enough to ask before a few weeks ago.\nYou're running out of allies, America. Soon it will just be you and Russia.\nWhich, I'm sure, will delight Putin and his agent, your Felon in Chief.

We will survive because we are united as one. We have great leaders leading this war. We will survive. Many Canadians are doing their part by not buying American goods anymore. God protect our brave nation. Thank you, Prime Minister and Premier Ford.

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

Canada and the EU need to stand up to our dictator president. Unite a front against America until we can get this clown out.

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

Trudeau is just pissed because all his kickbacks have been cutoff...wait unit they finish tracking all the USAID and NGOs funds and who got the kickbacks..lol...we are talking trillions...that seem to be located overseas?...lol...he is a crook...lol

The United States is tired of being taken advantage of and we have a real president now so you just going to have to deal with it matter of fact the whole world's going to have to deal with it

This is really gonna kill a lot of small online businesses that do commerce with the United States. We have a small stationary company that is just gonna die.

These treasonous criminals are running the United States! ???????????

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Wrong …. Not the United States . I think he should say the government of the United States which is different ….

Canada has been ripping United States for many years. And Trudeau is a crooked politician

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

Anyone with any intelligence, in the intelligence community, knows Russian asset behavior when they see it. It is quite obvious that the President of the United States is compromised and working directly for the Russians now. I believe Putin has very damning video and audio of terrible sins that Trump committed while in Russia for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant. His so-called friends, the Alagarovs set him up, but Putin and the FSB were behind the entire operation, to be sure. There is no evil or traitorous action Trump will not take to save his own ass. Guaranteed.

Please yo all in here, I'll ask to stop at use America just to the United States, that's an insult to all other countries in the American continent, use your term as United States or gringos, thank you!

How can anyone in the world trust the United States government. Your Golden Age will certainly turn into the Dark Ages with your tactics ??

Bla bla bla.... the gravy train is over! God bess the United States of America, and God bless president Donald J. TRUMP!

Trump is mafis Russa the enemy of the unite state

How is it that this traitor is still president? Such treachery threatens the United States in its existence. Isn't there a mechanism to remove him with immediate effect after this? This and cancelling all efforts to protect the United States from Russian cyber attacks.

United States did not start this trade war. Trump and the Republican Party did and I’m so sorry Canada because you don’t treat a friend and neighbor like that !

I stand with Canada from the United Kingdom ??.

As a strong supporter of Western values: United States, what the hell is going on? This seems so crazy.

Trumps a absolute disgrace to the United States

with freedom comes responsibility, with choice comes consequences.\nthis is what you get when you choose a treasonous scumbag for president. one false thing here is calling donald a smart man. i have never known of a smaller, more arrogant, more stupid, less qualified sad excuse of a man-child than the orange idiot. as a veteran commissioned officer of the united states of america, i, unlike our president, am bound by the oath i swore at my commissioning. i am ashamed of my nation for allowing a treasonous scum to sell our county

Hey boy, when you address the President of the United States, you call him Mr. President

I don’t care WHO & WHAT you voted for…this is a sad day in the United States of America. ??
