As an American U.S citizen we don’t want this either. ?

Trump Holds All Cards. Europe & Canada have siphoned Billions while sticking it to America on Trade!!! Its called reciprocal trade!! Whatever you tax us we tax you!! The subsidizing is over. Canadian drugs kill. Cry because we match your tax in U.S. ? ???

We’re Americans who moved out of the U.S. as soon as Trump back!

Trump is a traitor to the U.S.

Just like with 9/11, the U.S. never wastes an opportunity to squander the good will of the rest of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau, you need not justify all your wonderful country has done and is doing to stop the fentanyl issue...nothing will satisfy the MAGA crazies who refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their enforced poverty and disillusionment that leads to addiction.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

Its too bad that PM Trudeau couldn't come to the U.S. and run our country as president! Having a hostile lil' man girl as president has been so stressful for all Americans everyday 2017-2021 so its getting even worse than back then day by day!

As a U.S. citizen... I say.. fuck the U.S. Trade with Europe. Trade with Mexico. Pool your resorces and help each other survive. Let us have consequences. We elected this vermicious kinid. Support Ukraine. Let us think soley about our own interest like the tangerine todler we elected. Let us see how that works. I want to be proud of my country but we obviously need a lesson in humility.

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.

U.S. ARMY VETERAN WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO Russia like trump has. Wake up America

U need to understand what Trump wants? He aims to restore the industrial glory that the U.S. once had.

Canada imposes high tariffs on certain U.S. imports, particularly in the dairy sector. Under the supply management system, Canada tightly controls dairy production and imposes tariffs of up to 270% on some U.S. dairy products to protect its domestic farmers. This has been a long-standing trade issue between the two countries.

Trumpaloonatic is hurting the U.S purposely. Even those who r right there by his side. He dont care bout u he needs u to manipulate the ppl under u so they do the same to the ones under them and do forth. Melania... she has it coming. The FB guy, he has it coming, all those who once made this FK crybaby feel bad or shamed him infront of camaras... u have it coming. Why? How? Hes big jack horner... he plays games but he doesnt get his way he makes u pay. He is paying back for being a failed business man in the U.S. Because he has failed as a business man, he has made it to where he is now because he is a very successful con artist, a swindler and a scammer. Hes a sneaky snake who has the U.S under his armpit squeezing every single $ out of it. This FKR needs to be stopped.

Fentanyl is brought into the U.S. by American biker gangs such as the Hells Angels.

This is what a REAL PRESIDENT sounds like, not like a U.S. Traitor , Russian puppet. Wake up America.

Mr. Prime Minister - **trump** is the one cozying up to Putin and launching a trade war,... not the U.S. Trump is pushing himself out the door.

Here in the U.S., we're screwed.?

after Trump is finished wrecking the U.S. relationship with all of our allies and we are all alone, Putin is going to swoop in and annihilate us.

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

Never thought any U.S. president would want to deliberately hurt its 3 closest allies.

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

Haven't heard from Prime Minister Trudeau addressing the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Canada. This is what is all about.

This guy has done nothing for his people. I support our president. Canada has nothing the U.S. needs. We don’t need the lumber or oil. We need to cut off all funding to Canada. \nLet’s keep the 33 million here in the United States.

Non tarrif solutions? Tf? Are you talking about military? Your stupid country will capture 3 pine trees in Montana and that will be your greatest military achievement of the whole war. Don't talk like that to the U.S. you bonehead.

THAT GOVERNMENT IS 1 PERSON CALLED TRUMP ?? AND COURTS THAT ALLOW HIM TO RUIN THE U.S ECONOMIC WHILE HE POISONS THEM TO HATE THE BROWN SKIN FOLKS

I’m from the U.S, Help us get out of this horrendous atrocity of a country ?

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤

idk there was so many things imported from Canada. but Canada Canada imports half of its goods from the U.S. over all the i think Canada will hurt more. no real winner at the end

Canada is hurting themselves not the U.S. it’s going to backfire on them.

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

What did Canada gain by following the U.S. in imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs? Have you think the U.S. would impose tariffs on Canada as well?

I am from the U.S. and I am SO happy Canada has done this. Stand up to the Clown and Coward in office in the u.s. and make it Very Tough for him!!

U.S. Army combat veteran and I stand with Canada.

First, the orange criminal is not a “very smart” man. At best he has, perhaps, average intelligence, but worst, he is dangerously ignorant of history and facts (how many other Americans over forty don’t know the significance of Pearl Harbor?). Sadly, for the U.S. and the entire world, Americans have seen fit to place a person with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger into the White House – again – they didn’t learn the first time.\n\nSecond, on this fentanyl thing. Are the vast majority of Americans children? The best way to keep them from becoming addicted or killing themselves with the stuff is to keep it from them? Where is the self-control…the ability of people to tell themselves no? The easiest way to kill any business is to starve it of customers.

I love how the U.S. is matching what Canada was already doing and we're the crooks ?

Trump is not a friend he is an enemy to Canadians and to us in the U.S.

Thanks for making it clear what you did right but not making it clear on what the US administration wanted from you that you said no to that caused the tariff implementation. It's possible you miss 50% of your illegal border crossings into the u.s. since so much of your border isn't secured. The 1900% increase in illegal crossing in the past few years doesn't look very good. It's dumb to assume you did everything right and then the u.s. just randomly decided they'd continue with the tariffs for fun. Be more honest and say where you put your foot down so the American public can better understand what is going on.

“ They” Meaning Half of the U.S population MAGA cult and its radical leader..

There's a 97% reduction in the fentanyl trade compared to December ?. The U.S. should then ask why these measures weren't implemented earlier

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?

This is what happens when you have a compromised leader the way the U.S. does. He is doing Putin's bidding because Putin owns him. Putin has Trump destroying relationships with neighbors, destroying relationships with NATO, and destroying the very government he works for. The Russians couldn't do better if a KGB agent infiltrated the White House. Then again maybe one did.

Such a profoundly sad time in U.S. history.

The world has to stand up to stupid Trump. Trump is a traiter, a backstabber, and a charlatan. U.S. does not deserve to have a crazy president.

Liar47 is implementing these tariffs thinking he can mislead and/or convince putin/russians to overlook all u.s transgressions against russia since the early nineties and work as a friend of the usa...\nThis is a quintessential example of the danger of believing what you think and/or your own narrative outcome... \n This liar47 created western dog and pony show is transparent to the non-european world...\nNEWS FLASH to all western players in this game... a] russia will never be a western world ally or trusted friend--it would be fatal, b] russia will not betray brics nations, c] russia will not stop selling military weapons and essential support to natural resource rich southern hemisphere nations...\nIt's a fools objective spearheaded by the genius-in-charge...

From the u.s i would gladly kick Trump out of office if i could.... since he came into office the prices of everything has gone up and i know with how he's treating or allies it's just gonna get worse. I think he is purposely ruining or country don't ask me why. I love my country hate how or leadership is running this country.

OMG ??? The U.S Government has really fucked up with Canada!!! This is your fault, Trump, you made it bad for everyone I hope that u r happy and able to sleep at night. The moment Trump came into office, it was going to be trouble for the country ?

why hate on your neighbor and your closest ally. dang. Mr. Trump is losing his mind all over again. U.S and Canada should be working together.

Imagine screwing up so badly that Canada —CANADA — has to sit you down like an irresponsible child and explain basic economics. \n\nNext, Trudeau will be offering a coloring book to illustrate 'Actions Have Consequences' while the U.S. government wonders why their groceries now cost as much as a used car. ????
