I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

CNN ,you didn't mention the real real that Trudeau believes the Trump administration has put terrifs is that they want to cripple the Canadian economy to be able to annex Canada as a 51st state!!!

Showing your true colors when u didn't get what u want ?

Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

I’m a NEVER Trumper. A ?in a red state. Trump does not represent me nor my morals and convictions. I was physically ill watching him and his pup Vance absolutely bully President Zelenskyy. I’m sorry that this is what half of the country voted for. I’m disgusted that I had family and friends who refused to see him for who he is. I’m so sorry to all those who didn’t vote for him yet we will also be aligned with him. I greatly appreciate you Prime Minister Trudeau. Thank you to those in other countries that realize not all Americans wanted this. Not all Americans bowed a knee to him. Thank you for your kindness.

All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

We don't want this. I didn't vote for this

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

We don't want to it's either and I sure didn't vote for anyone involved. 2:20

German here and I stand with Canada! And also with the many people in America who don't want this and didn't vote for it. ??????

Trump launched the trade war that very few people in the US wanted, and those who did want it don't understand how the economy works and probably didn't graduate grade school. I'm sorry to our Canadian friends and neighbors. The US is a world embarrassment.

The worst president! But this is what yall wanted all because you didn’t want an overly qualified black woman as president.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Trudeau knows well Dump is fat and stupid.....not smart at all. He just didn't want to put that out.

Yeah, most of Americans don’t want this either. Many Americans who voted for whoever is really acting as president are regretting and those of us who didn’t, saw this coming a mile away.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

CNN needs to realize its role in this, as everyone knew what Trump would do, but you didn't care enough about the black vote to listen to what they wanted. Make no mistake. The black voters held their nose and voted for Obama a second term, but when he did nothing but insult us, we stayed home on Hillary and we got Trump. Trump was an overt racist, so you scared enough black voters and we held our nose and voted for Biden, but we made it clear that scare tactics would only work once. You Doubled down in 2024 and you lost miserably this time, Double down again, and you may lose your party. For the record, there is no voter's remorse for those who stayed home.

Nooooooo......we don't like our govenment! We didn't vote for them!!! We don't want them. How can we get rid of these evil people?????!

Wow the United States got what they got because they voted stupidity, hatred, bigotry, racism,no experience, felonies, just to name a few?compared to these two men from Canada and Ukraine ?? who can read, speech different languages, have compassion, have experience, intelligence with integrity… WOW JUST BECAUSE AMERICANS DIDN’T WANT A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN…who has everything thing in her fingernail that lil Donnie will never have? United States got a “good white boy”who happens to sleep with Satan???

I'm in agreement with Canada we as American we didn't want this either. Trump is an asshole and an idiot ?

Way to go Canada Trump deserves that and I’m willing to see Trump look like the true idiot he is! Voters made the mistake of putting the Orange Turd in office. My taxes should go to Ukraine a country who didn’t ask for more hardship and for millionaires to pay just $720 in 2023 taxes I don’t want to support a fool.

Please don't categorize us all with President Toupee. I stand with you Canada! We will see you in 4 years God willing. I pray that you don't hold what the administration does against the American citizens who didn't want or ask for this.

I want out of this country, I'm watching my retirement lose money. I don't want to be in a trade war, I'm going to have to close my newly opened buisness. I did not vote for this administration, so many of us didn't. I'm sorry world.

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

I don't agree with this one single bit. Why is he making trouble for our allies? I am no democrat. Nobody, not even the majority of those that voted Trump wants him to cause trouble with our friends. They didn't vote for this.

We didn’t want this!

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

I remember most Canadians didn't want this Justin guy. What hypocrisy. They trying to sabotage Trump.

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

It took the threat of tariffs for all of a sudden change things in the border… keep that in mind.. shows you how they can make a 97% difference when they try.. but didn’t want to before the spanking

All because they didn't want a intelligent, well-spoken, educated, hard working, truth telling well not as much as Trump, Black woman in office. Fricken shame! I hope you're happy America. Your hatred for people of color did this. Donald is not smart period. IQ of zero.

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

What a friendly speech. He didn't even mention the fact that Donald Trump called the deal with Canada the best ever and so much better than NAFTA while he now calls it terrible. I feel for Americans, but you voted for the creep who is president right now. Sadly, you got what you wanted.

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

The dumb ass fact Trump TRULY believes Elon can save the U.S.A is the VERY REASON we WILL need SAVING! ???‍♀️ ALL BECAUSE CERTAIN ONES DIDN’T WANT TO SEE A BLACK WOMAN GENUINELY TRY WITH ALL HER MITE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER UNSELFISHLY! ?

Trudeau, what a knob head. He’s hated by everyone, he’s a dictator ….. remember the truckers protest? Stopping bank accounts because they didn’t want to take a vax? Why did it take sanctions for you to stop the drugs? You’re a shit

I can't speak for all of us, but I didn't want this either. I didn't vote for Trump and this is one reason why.

Trump will escalate the situation even more! You guys didn’t understand, he wants to make Canada a mere state of US. This is part of a plan!

Didn’t this guy stepped down as the Prime Minister of Canada and then like refused to hold elections and continue to maintain his position even though he had said he didn’t want to do the job anymore. I can’t listen to Trudeau about

Trudeau, what a knob head. He’s hated by everyone, he’s a dictator ….. remember the truckers protest? Stopping bank accounts because they didn’t want to take a vax?

TRUMP did this....most of America didn't want this for any of us either ❤

When the guy who was such a god-awful, terrible, idiotic Prime Minister that his own party told him that he was too embarrassing to continue as leader; lights you up for being dumb and the 86% of Canadians that didn’t want Trudeau to ever appear in public as a Canadian (Let alone PM) agree with him… you’ve got to rethink your position.

Thank you to all of you taking the time to send your supportive thoughts and words.\nWe so didn't want our hand to be forced :(\nWe need to unite as North Americans, this is senseless and so divisive. Sad ?

Folks didn't want to listen to Harris. She told you all what will happen.

Very well done, sorry guys, it's not the population, it's the 'peers'. We didn't want this either.

Those of us US citizens who didn’t vote for this knew this was going to happen, but others thought they knew better. If you want to see a circus go to the nation’s capital you’ll see a bunch of clowns there most notable two of the biggest clowns of them all. This is just ridiculous

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????
