Curious to know, what will OUR government do to assist Americans who will be hit hard by this trade war?

I am Australian and we have Chinese war ships in our waters and so does thaiwan

Trudeau wants to send us to the poor house.\nNegotiate the tariffs already!!!!?\nCreate jobs and secure the border!!!?\nBiden corrupt proxy war $uck$ ?

I wonder if Trump is trying to manufacture a war with Canada to justify us taking them over like he wants. That's about the only thing that makes a trade war with Canada makes sense (not that it's OK)

We are in a world war trade warfare

His speach is meaningless what is the point of talking about putin while to issue is all aboit trade war.

Canada acting like they can win a trade war with the USA is insane

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

He said a fight is this q declaration of war?????

Trump wants us in War

Trudeau has to explain how dumb trade wars are in English and in French.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Trudeau, I can take you up in anything at anytime, except when you assert Putin is a criminal. You fully know who pushed Putin into war with Ukraine and why. We’re not as stupid as you might think. So watch your mouth Mr. Prime Minister before you make any accusations against anyone. Thank you!

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 !

Canadian government has made Canadians paralyzed for decades with high tax rates, made worst business decisions emptied citizens pockets to fill outsiders and their own. Instead of making Canadians rich you have made us poor. I don't disagree to standup for yourself but our foundation is the weakest. If you want to change something think of Canadians make things easier...STOP making admissions hard for professionals pay more wages where its needed and stop increasing minimum wages without improving the lifestyle of people. A 16 yr old making minimum wage and don't even know what to do with the money improve the quality of life. Make businesses boom by helping them with easier access to grants and business approvals. Help investors to grow and help middle class to become investors, make import export much easier. Better laws to protect investors...help those who are growing the economy not dinging them with more and more taxes. This tariff war is going to hurt us more than anyone else. Us poor Candians will have to pay for this hurt our children and our seniors. And that's exactly what Trump and Elon want. To the next Canadian PM - HELP CANADIANS! LET LIVE AND LET GROW...

Trudeau says “there are no winners in a trade war” haha but there are losers let’s see whose economy is bigger ??

I am a conservative Canadian. I should admit this was the BEST speech I ever heard from Trudeau ! We are all together in this war ! God bless Canada ??❤️

Does Trump have a deal with Putin, that if he sells out to Ukraine, and ends the huge costs to Russia of waging the war, Trump gets quid pro quo in new resorts set up under Trump in Russia with umpteen billions going back to Trump as under the table kick-backs? These are the sort of deals you would expect from a man convicted of so many felonies... What other explanation could there be for Trump selling us all out to one of our most dangerous enemies...? The dictionary definition of treason...!

Sir as an American I am with you. The respect that should be among nations is not any longer in the USA. My respect to you sir. We know that orange is lying and wants a war. He wants to copy history by creating a new depression influence by the devils that are surrounding him. He is decrepit, highly influenciable and someone not to trust. I am disgusted for all that is happening. We need you as a nation to help us combat evilness with logic and kindness. God Bless you. Americans are with you and in spite of all this madness we are with you and your people.

Ok so I expect to see Justin Trudeau son/daughter deployed to go fight the war.

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

This is how we treat our friends and allies now. It's as if Trump has chosen to go to war against the American people directly, ruining our friendships like a jealous mate who wants to isolate you from his friends. He doesn't want us to have friends other than an equally abusive one like Russia. Did the voters really want this, even the ones who voted for him?

Somehow trump will blame us transgenders for this trade war - you just wait

America must now feel that voting for Trump will not make America great again, only lonely. They will soon bitterly regret this selfish path. The free world can also defend itself in this senseless trade war. It's a shame for the decent Americans who will also be affected by this.

Trudeau has an election and the United States did not start a trade war!! It wants you to stop!! The flow of drugs

Trump is losing favour in Canada too. Many supported him until the 51st state rhetoric started. Now he's actually allowing Trudeau to stay in power longer. The trade war is allowing Trudeau to stay relevant.\nTrump should have said I'm not dealing with Canada until Trudeau resigns!

“The RUSSIAN&USA will do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.” \nUkraine 2025 \n\n “Absolute Gibberish”\nTrump talks about WAR!! WW3 like it’s a poker game.\nTrump showed open disdain for the Ukrainian president!! \nmoral compass used in reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act accordingly. ???

REPUBLICAN STUPIDITY REMEMBER AMERICA JAPAN ATTACKED US AS A RESULT OF TRADE WARS INNTHIS THE STUPID REPUBLICANS MAGA CULT PRIESTS ARE THE AGGRESSOR!!! INSANITY REPUBLICANS GSTH

Make That Make Sense. Here you go Trudeau. . If US aligns with Ukrain, as very very sad as this situation is, Trump would be declaring opposition with Russia. Then China aligns with Russia. Then WW3 starts on North American soil. Did Trump word everything right? Absolutely NOT. NOPE. However… I don’t want a war either. Trump should have just stayed out of it. \n\nLastly Trudeau you liar. You said “no one wins in a trade war…”. Yet you respond to tariffs with tariffs. You just started a trade war!!!! \n\nHow’s that for making sense enough for you!!

Everything wrong in this country is due to the worst human being in American history, Trump is responsible for the deaths of atleast 1,000.000 Americans, the war in Ukraine, the high cost products Americans have to for everything you're either blind or just dumber than Trump.

Please help me understand this, it's a trade war to tariff someone equally who has been tariffing you 25% for years? Why was it not a trade war when Canada was tariffing the US with 25% when the US was charging Canada nothing

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trump. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorably in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. Canadians do not respect or like him. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

I am a French Canadian. I did not hear it From Trudeau in English but I heard it in French, the real reason of the economic war is annexation. Fentanyl, immigration was just a Casus Belli. Trump want to put us on our knees and beg to join the US. We will have federal elections soon and we know that Trump will try to influence the outcome of the elections like Chine, Russia or India. We know has Canadian that USA is not a friend anymore. Trump is the dumbest of American President of the history of USA. Americans citizens get rid of Trump and Vance before it is too late.

I never thought I’d see the day when the President of the United States would launch a trade war against a staunch ally & friend, while sucking up to the murderous Russian dictator Putin. Stand strong Canada, the free world - what’s left of it - support & stand with you! ❤❤❤

I guarantee you 100% World War III because of what this idiot Dump is doing! He is snugging up to Putin and Russia, eventually this will go sideways and war will break out. Maga and republicans probably thing Im a moron who has no clue. I give it 6 months!

It is not the United States that wants a Trade War with Canada, it is Donald Trump!~

That’s why Canada wins the war: they will look after the people that suffer, I imagine the Americans are expected to die on the streets ?

Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing the dis respect zylynski showed. He triggered Trump when he said that we were going to feel war on our soil although we are shielded by an ocean. He never wanted to do a cease fire. Aka stop the killing now. Today. Than negotiate the securities. Which Trump said would be easier to do. Stop the war. And the part where we are not getting our money back where with the other nations it is a loan. That is probably the underlying reason why the hesitation by zylynski. \nAs far as tradeau. He reminds way to much of newsom…

What is amber heard doing in a ....war declaration? I just answered myself

The fact the Canada is g9nna help their citizens thru this tariff war yet Trump is not doing anything close to helping American citizens, shows that Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone. Trump just opened a more profitable business route between Mexico and Canada.

Declaring a trade war against Canada has ring the craziest thing. CANADA? ?? yeah that dude at the White House is loosing his marbles.

If your insane president won't back down, electricity will be cut off, and potash and nickel will no longer be exported. Agreements with Homeland security will be canceled, NORAD may be cancelled, and cross border travel will be severely restricted soon. Canadian armed forces will be standing by to halt an American military operation, and our European Allies will join us for what we hope will only be another cold war.

If you voted for Trump, you are directly responsible for this. Kamala would’ve at least respected the constitution, and relationships with allies. Trump is a danger to global peace and stability, he has only been in office for 2 months has been tearing up everything you stand for day by day. My sympathies go to the US citizens that didn’t want trump but are now losing their global standing because of him. If he continues as he has done so far, I expect escalation and a war that nobody wants.

It is not a war it is called trade fair trade not free to you and stick it to us you little communist

No, the United States did not start a trade war. DONALD TRUMP started the trade war. May he burn in hell,

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

From Portugal Its make sense if is a Russian asset saving Mr. Putin from economic and war disgraces

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.
