Wow, how quickly you all seem to forget. We have been paying them large amounts for years and we as Americans have been paying for it with our taxes. So because you listen to the media and like the way he speaks. It's okay! Let's not stand up for ourselves and our country and lets keep paying high taxes and make everyone in the world HAPPY! How about just like every other president we let him do his job and see where we end up at. Instead of fighting his every move because propaganda and uncertainty, let's give him a chance and see were things go. These other countries are just crying because they can no longer take advantage of America and take our money.

Americans are sick of getting taking advantage of fair is fair even across the board period.

You must pay your fair share. We can't pay 25% tariffs, and you pay 5%. You are taking advantage of us.

OH HOG WASH AND CANADA HAS BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AMERICA FOR MANY YEARS NOW, WE ARE NOT SCARED

We are ashamed of the HIM. HE IS BREAKING LAWS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF THE USA. He is corrupt. Never would I thought this could ever happen.

Stop taking advantage of the American Tax Payers!

Justin, I will try to make this make sense for you. President Trump is trying to stop you from taking advantage of the US, 'the closest partner and ally.' At the same time, he is trying to prevent people from being killed. Is that really so hard for you to understand??

We don’t need any of your resources. We literally can get everything in our own country. You have be taking advantage of us with your significantly High tariffs and when we ask for a more fair deal this is how you treat us.

They are reciprocal tariffs jack off. Canada been taking advantage of the US for years.

Way to go TRUDEAU. Don’t bow down to trump he’s a dumb ass and he thinks that the world owes him something. Trump is a criminal; very corrupt person who doesn’t have a life and doesn’t care about anyone. He’s just going around with his selfish and greedy self trying to take advantage of everyone with his corrupt ways . Trump should be a janitor, not a president ?

Dump Trump! Trump is a short sighted businessman whose companies went through multiple bankruptcies. He is not a politician and is unfit to hold his office. Putin is going to take advantage of him.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN, BABY. WE CAN MAKE OUR PRODUCTS, Thank you. Time for other countries to stop taking advantage of us. ??

Trudeau wouldn't be around for long, useful idiot. No winner in a trade war but it is ok to take advantage of a friend.

Such great friends until we stop you from taking advantage of us. Bye Felicia.

The US was partly responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Mr. Putin was a KGB officer during that era. Mr. Putin realizes the depth of Trump's ignorance and intends to take advantage of their relationship in order to bring the US further along the path to economic collapse. Payback for its role in the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as an opportunity to rid the world of a dimming superpower.

Canada will grow stronger, they will soon take more advantage of their resources and open up to new markets, Canada will be more independent and their gain will be USA loss.

It's ok for other countries to stand up for themselves but obviously its not ok for the United States to stand up themselves. The fact is that these countries have been taking advantage of the United States for so long that they feel entitled and are upset that our president is putting America first

Half truths. The fent as well as illegals don't cross those borders hes talking about. The smugglers know the weak points of that 4,000 mile stretch. This is like a little league player challenging Jordan. They Need Us. We are finally taking advantage of all economic streams as we should. The Taxpayers deserve a break. Subsidize our people with the money we send abroad and grow our economy, it's our money.

Canada wants the US to allow them to continue taking advantage of us if we don’t then he says it’s a trade war lol ?

Blah, blah, blah stop taking advantage of America!

Well stop taking advantage of America

Funny how when you stop letting countries take advantage of us there are issues! I stand with you America ??

MAGA!!! A true friend doesn’t take advantage of its neighbors!!!! MAGA!!! ??

hit you in the wallet didnt it, time to stop taking advantage of your friendly neighbor, but it will hurt you more

It’s like having a good friend that’s always taking advantage of you

The USA prefers to act & think like a clueless inbred clown at the circus & our leaders tend to reflect that & take advantage of that going back as far as the Reagan era. The majority of Americans revel in their ignorance & malevolence while callings themselves Christians.

We’ll see. “We don’t want this” — no kidding you don’t Trudeau, you take advantage of the USA. Enough is enough.

About dang time! No more taking advantage of Americans!

Canada takes advantage of America. ? man Justin

Make it Make sense that Canadian government has been taking advantage of America for a long time. You forgot to mention that part.

America first. If we let our Allies take advantage of us, we have no chance against our enemies. We look weak and divided to other countries. This show of strength shows we mean business. If we were a United Country Canada would gladly join us as the 51st State

Greedy people have been taking advantage of the US for far too long. You all want to sell to America, but don't want to share any of the profits with America, or give jobs to Americans. Plus you want us to pay for everything that has to do with world peace. It is you who are deranged. Not Trump.

You need USA. We don't need you. We have been taken advantage of long enough. Why did it take for Trump to tell you to make provisions against Fentanyl to actually implement it?

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

Oh please! Canada has been taking advantage for years. It’s past time we make it more equal.

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!

If I were Russia, I would take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the West and fill the gap left by the United States. Begin trading more than ever before, selling cheap energy, and doing anything to fill the void left by the US.

The world knew this was coming and did nothing to protect their citizens and businesses from any of this. Everyone is retaliating and fist waving American citizens at the bad time we will have as a result. You can miss me with the fear mongering. Everyone is trying to take advantage of the U.S citizen and using the president as an excuse.

Great no more taking advantage of USA no more

We voted for Trump because those countries have been taking advantage of America ??. CNN is talking about Poutine. Russia gates again.

Deep state is big mad? they are reaching out and plotting against our country to all countries because—- this is a change that no longer are these countries going to take advantage of ?? . Get in line ?? . We the people don’t give a dam about countries who take advantage of us!!!!!! It’s over.

These world leaders are mad that they can't take advantage of America anymore. It's funny.

Trudeau is a dictator and has made Canada suffer for a decade under his rule sorry he has no credibility and making the trump government seem wrong. If he managed Canada better trump wouldn’t see us a weak. And take advantage of that

Why is the u.s. taking advantage of Canada’s kindness..Canadians are kindhearted people..the world stand with them ??.

Trudeau secure your boarder with the ??. Have fair trade with the usa instead taking advantage of us. Build your own military and protect yourself. This communist pm needs to go

Trumps trying to undermine and out USA allies and neighbours to their knees and take advantage of them if possible. If they kneel, he's going to milk them off them economically. ? dumb move if the US allies and friends dont budge ?

That's business. This is not sleepy job to take advantage ?.
