trump stated yesterday he was implementing tariffs because canada is stealing americann jobs and americas money. nothing about drugs. its not about that. he just wants to destroy everyone elses economy. he is destruction

Gosh I miss this kind of conviction that the US leaders used to radiate when talking. You don’t need to be in politics to know what’s right from wrong. Just listening the the Prime Minister talk fires me up, more than this clown that we have for president ever will. Canada’s doing it’s job, it’s time we do ours and stand up to this corrupted government. WAKE UP!

As a Canadian this lying fraud drama teacher (look up why he lost his job) needs to be removed from office. Call an election and stop your pretend tough guy act. Stop sending our money to your money laundering friends. The real losers are Canadians our economy has been destroyed by this fraud.

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that

The tariffs are on all countries importing into the U.S. \nYou either build in the U.S. or have higher tariffs, it’s a strategy to build more business and jobs in the U.S. \nFixing the U.S. economy that is $36 TRILLION in Debt, while cutting off foolish spending in USAID. Do you have a problem with that?\n\nThe decision to befriend Russia is not cause Trump is pro-Putin, but to end a war Zelenskyy wants to continue for years, an utterly unnecessary war where thousands are dying for no reason, and billions spent on war when you can spend it on building up the economy (we already gave Zelensky 300 BILLION of our taxpayer money and Ukraine isn’t winning). The goal is to end unnecessary dying and to prevent WW3 nukes flying. Only complete fools think playing games with NUKES is a good idea, pointing a finger at you NATO!\n\nWhen NUKES fly, we are literally f…..ed!!!!

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

He doesn’t care ABOUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF CANADA ?? BUT HE EXPECTS PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS ?️ WHILE IMMIGRANTS FLOURISH BUYING CARS AND BIG HOMES ? TO CARE ABOUT HIS JOB THATS IN JEOPARDY??\n\nSorry but I VOTE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF CANADA ?

Where has this guy been for the last nine years. Finally he has a voice and is speaking up. Good job

If you did your job for the last ten years instead of being woke and a globalist we wouldn't be in this situation Justin.

This is the best job you've done during your leadership, Justin. It's too little too late, but thank you.

Trump needs to be removed from power immediately. Congress needs to do their job!!!!!

Trump is doing a great job in isolating his country. Greetings from Germany and good night ;)

When did he wake up and decide to do is job ? More of this please ?

Its time for the world to move on without the USA ,Canada is one of the most democratic countries in the world ,They will get over it ,Move on and be strong ,Trump must have read the UK's shortest PM in historys book ,Yes Liz truss she crashed the UK economy in days ...Good job Donald you will have a warm welcome when you go home to Mother Russia

This is how a calm credible diplomat does Thier job. Good for you Canada ?

For those who put the clown in and he trying to enforce 2025 along with destroy all our the USA allies this is past crazy!!!!! Dummy, Felon, and not qualified for the job!!!!!!!! The good have to suffer with the bad!!!!

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

We do not need any Canadian products. Tariffs will work, we have natural resources gas, oil, minerals. do not need you. Critical minerals. that's a joke. We have all the fertilizer we need. So I am not sure what he is talking about. Its time to bring the auto makers home, Its time to bring all our jobs back home. The canadians are tired of him as well and he is out in October and the conservative party will win just like in the US. People are tired of the left agenda.

Good job Trudeau!!!

Proud to be Canadian. Great job Mr Trudeau. ❤❤

Good job Canada!

good job Canada ? ! show them some lessons

Stay Strong Canada We are trapped here in the USA this is not America anymore American on truly support what you have to do... as far as the jobs he's already laying people off all over the place he's taken away or Healthcare he's taken away or Freedom he's taken away a financial Social Security and Medicare soon

I can't believe that orange peel think that we as Canadians want to send our jobs to them . That guy is coo coo for coco pops.

I know he's being a diplomat but he should have said 'Donald you're NOT a very smart guy and this is a dumb decision'. All leaders are being so careful with Trump because he can literally take everything so personal and then go into vengeance. He is just not cut out to do this job.

Good jobs trump

The job loss is on purpose. Trump and Elon want the Federal Interest rate to go down and the fed won’t do it without job numbers going down drastically. Canada is playing into Elon and Trump’s hands. The job losses will help them borrow more money to destroy Democracy with and replace it with a techno-feudal system that will make us envy Soviet citizens ?‍?

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

Stand tall and do not bend the knee. The northern states should do more to fight Trump. This will hurt them. Remember Bellingham when the Canadian dollar was $1.50. Bellingham shut down and jobs were lost.

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.

Nice job Trudeau!, I have not always liked what he has done but he is showing that he can stand up for us when we need.

@CNN: Wait, so this is a 1/2 ounce trade war officially??? Half an ounce of phentanyl?.. messing up a trillion dollar a year trade border and the closest relationship the US had literally in history?? Wth Donald?\nTrudeau is doing an amazing job. ???He was not perfect at all, but he's doing a solid job voicing and standing up for Canadians now. I love his efforts.

Go Canada! Good job. Trump is an ass**le. I know most world leaders must believe this too but just had to say it myself - feel better now?

Another liar....he can get s job with CNN...Canada needs America more than America needs Canada....Why do we protect,defend them.Bring all jobs to the US!!!Go Trump!!!!!

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

Where is all the Funds going? all the firing, all the job cuts .... TRUMP AND MUSK ARE SO CORRUPT!!!!

Good job Mr. Trump ?

Good job, I stand by you Justin and support you, lets win over this crises and improve ourself.

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

as an american, i’m so scared. please do not abandon us. we are living paycheck to paycheck— and that’s those of us with jobs. we’ve put our heart and souls into voting over the past 9 years and they haven’t counted in decades. \n\ncorporate entities are running our country— politicians are no longer working for the people. we need help.

One thing Trump did not do is bring jobs to the American people, now that is bulshit, but i still support Canada

I would like to know if there is still Americans who believe that Trump is doing a good job in the office?

Blistering speech. The guy is so useless. He said nothing. When can Pierre take his job. Doug Ford is showing Trudeau how to do it. He should take some pages from his book

An American here. God bless Canada. Unfortunately an uneducated group of Americans and a dictator has put us here. Real Americans will do our job in our 2026 midterms and 2028 elections.

So, why is it that this guy makes it seem like they haven't been taken advantage of the U.S. since they have been able to! He is also lying about that northern border, too. Russians have been illegally crossing into the U.S. thru Canada for years. I know it as fact bcuz I've met Russian truckers who told me how they originally came to the U.S. via Canada! It's easier up there bcuz that border isn't as secure as the southern border. I guarantee you their statistics for fentynal crossing in via Canada is wrong. Those are just the statistics for the fentynal they caught, not the shit they haven't caught! Tariffs shouldn't have had to be the reason for Canada to do their job. They should have already been doing their job at that border. Trump had to threaten them in order for them to use drones, etc. at the border. They should have been doing that. This shows that they were already taking advantage of the weak ass government who just left office. Maybe he should just become the 51st state to make it all much simpler!

this idiot needs to go.... Canada is gonna suffer a lot due to the tariff.... their jobs will be in trouble.

Listen to these assholes the trying to convince us free trade helps the people lol. The reson both parents have to work for lesx value was because of free trade itonley helped big corporations not us same ass illegals jing jobs. And lowering wages. I remember thats what demacrats used to say ?

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Good job trump piss off the world, GREAT JOB!!!

Uh oh, Governor Treudeu is upset. Oh, no, he's threatening an embargo. I don't care about Fentynol. Druggies dropping like flies opens up jobs.
