It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

Canada should suspend all the things they did to tighten the border. In fact they should go the other direction. This trade war is going to hurt the good people of Canada, and resources used to help the united states could be better used helping Canadians. Trumptards only learn when they touch the hot stove.

Highest respect for Trudeau for speaking out and fighting back for both the canadians and americans. He is right when he says no one wins in a trade war.

Canada is a country of 40 Million. The US is a country of 330 MILLION . Canada will lose bigly in a trade war so they should swallow their pride and cut a deal asap

It hasn’t been fair trading between the two in a while, time for a Canada to cough up some money they have had the fair share for some time now and if Canada thinks they win this trade war they are sadly mistaken. United States calls the shots, they are the power house not Canada so good luck Canadians. Your hate for America will only hurt you.

as a navy veteran, I'm embarrassed with our country's representation during this war on our allies...........

Thank you Justin for being very clear and succinct in what will happen with this trade war. I am more proud today to be a Canadian.

Trudeau will get stomped over this. America holds all the cards and Trudeau is helping poison America. We will never lose a trade war, Americas economy is ten times Canada's.

And yet—Trudeau taps out, while Trump gears up to drag the whole world into a trade war where nobody wins. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion… but with extra drama.

I just can't understand WHY, WHY A TRADE WAR WITH CANADA?!?!?!?! That's so STUPID!\n\nThats a real leader posture.

Trade and should be reciprocated in the same manner as with business partners l don’t know why they have chosen this trade war Mr Trudeau chill blood you have to protect America interests as we should protect yours.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

Trade War, Water War, Word War, Financial War, Environment War, we are sick & tired for all wars!

Trump is using US power to threaten countries for their rare earth minerals. If Ukraine falls to Russia, Trump loses the minerals, If Europe can stave off a Ukrainian defeat, Trump loses the minerals. Canada has threatened to use its mineral wealth in the upcoming trade war and Trump loses the minerals.\nTo America's shame it has the wealth to trade for these minerals without resorting to threats and belligerence.

NO. The United States DID NOT launch a trade war with you. THE ORANGE LIZARD DEMON DID THAT. Stop saying the UNITED STATES did this and that. ONE MAN did all of this.

?? trade war you’re not are partner you have been extorting the United States for decades and Americans are done being the world’s piggy bank so kick rocks Castro Junior we do not need you in enough of your bullshit Russian propaganda

it is a war started by usa

Trade war is also war! Let's just avoid buying American products all over the world and watch the Tesla and other stocks crash

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

Bye bye castro junior. Have fun with your trade war. When you Canadians elect a real leader maybe we can talk.

You started wrong right away! It’s not a trade war! We need it to resolve our financial debts from helping other countries!

With all due respect PM Trudeau, the US didn't launch a trade war. Our treasonous president did. I stand with Canada.????

PM Trudeau, we support you, your good people, and your country. We, as Americans, do NOT support this unholy coup and senseless trade war. We support you in your response and will still purchase Canadian goods on a personal basis. May this insanity stop soon, so we can regain normalcy in the relationship between our countries.❤❤❤❤❤

Didn't Hitler fabricate stories about Poland to incite the Germans against Poland before he started World War II?

Trump didn't just start a war with America's s solidarity leaders. He also started a war within and it's growing bigger. Pray for us leaders and people of the free world for we have a fight on our hands.

This entire trade war with Canada is strictly about Melanie's hots for Justin.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

He doesn't want to say why we launched a trade war. We rejected your drugs, and you got upset.

As a US citizen, who voted for Trump three times, i never thought id agree with Trudeau. \nThe US cannot win a trade war, the US versus the world. It's simple mathematics, and in the geopolitical realm, What Trump is doing is going to push countries away from US influence. \nI'm all for putting the US first, I'm all for cutting the federal government fat, and I'm all for making sure we the people come first, but I'm also smart enough to know that anytime the US has gone into isolationism, it's led to global conflict.

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

Hahaha trade war the same taxes we pay now you pay haha

What an idiot. In the last several days, Trudeau's priority was jet setting around Europe cheerleading for a war that is lost instead of reorienting Canada's international relations to diversify the economy.

Ukraine 3 years of USA money and artillery to fight a war that impossible to win with his country flattened his people killed soldiers women and children that European country's have sat back an watched waffing what the USA should do \nIreland own people living on the streets with 100.000 Ukraines taking up housing with able body men here that's suppose to to be soldiers living it up here \nEurope are sitting back prompting him what he needs in guarantees from the USA \nHow many more must die for him , Crazy while he spoofs from country to country for arms and money with billions already wasted \nTrump is correct, to stop funding a war , its peace he wants people need cop on \nFunding more money to maim and kill will not make peace

3% vs 76%? This is a war you can't win Gay North Dakota

4:10 this guy has no right to talk to the American people. Almost as if he is trying to turn American people againts its own government. Pretty sure thats an act of war. 1995—Subsec. (j). Pub. L. 104–65, §9(1)(A),

Canada ?? = Land of the United States Citizen War Draft Dodgers

As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS NATO KEPT ADVANCING INTO UKRAINE. FORCING PUTIN INTO WAR. PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS ABOUT THE WINNIPEG MICROBIOLIGY LAB INVESTIGATION TRUDEAU IS BLOCKING. HE KNOWS ABOUT THE BIOWEAPONS LABS IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS VANADAS CORRUPT LIBERAL PARTY OUT OF POWER

Figured out Trumps anti-migrant policy. Hes expecting world war 3 and doesnt want refuges coming to USA. when he closes mineral deal USA can be sustainable on its own and world war 3 will start

Good on Canada for standing up for their people. The news anchor seems offended that Canada is talking “harshly “ to poor o frump… o please! Enough with the treatment of kid gloves Americans will be deeply hurt by this buffoon starting a trade war with our allies… the frumpy supporters this is what you voted for so don’t want to hear crying…. You didn’t want to listen to the warnings given so now deal with it just like everyone else that knew better ….

It's a drug WAR pushed by CHINA, CANADA & MEXICO! USA LEGAL CITIZENS have been PERSECUTED BY ALL! NOW that we FIGHT back everyone is crying in their cereal! We have been on the receiving end of bad deals for the USA for decades & no country spoke up for us! Things are changing. It will be a rough way for awhile.... But in the end all will see that TRUMP IS RIGHT!! A BALANCED SCALE IS THE ONLY WAY EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY!!!

When the US starts to hurt and their power is cut (if we proceed with that), I suspect that they will take military action against us. It will cease to be a trade war and become an actual war.

Go Canada! You have done more then is required, yet trump is being an idiot. No reason for trade war only thing I can think of is he is dead set on making you the 51st. Fight

He tarriffs us at 250%... they started the trade war

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

Trudeau is out - the tariffs are now equal - what is he talking about ?? No one is fighting with Canada - and Trump is trying to end a war between Russia and Ukraine - no one had been able to talk Putin into a cease fire and possible peace until Trump! Stop all this bs!

From France: we refuse to live in a world of brute, without rules of respect of the other cultures. Canadians is a mervelous country who can living with differents community, and tolerance. they understood the significant of the first originals tribues , and include them with a big resoect. At the time where we must to be careful to the health of our environement, we go to take the management of war! Who want to live in a world in war, with machines and AI, controled by a brutal minority of brutes? For the peace and the good life beetwen humans, we must to fight the lies and the corruption. For the souverainity of Canada: fight for the peace.

I think the United States citizens are tired of having all our tax dollars going all over the world . And after biden. No one can do anything more to help a war that just kills people and burns money. We will survive without your whiskey.

Fake cowards. Wanted USA and Trump to wage world war 3 with Russia just coz Zelensclown's ego can't handle the fact he led his country into doomed.\n\nCanada gonna send what? LGBT soldiers?
