I am completely outraged. I am disgusted beyond comprehension with the gutless Republican party for not standing up to trump. Canada has traditionally been our steadfast Ally and closest Trading partner. Trump is a walking, talking, dumpster fire, and must be removed from office as soon as humanly possible. How this profoundly disturbed, mentally ill excuse for a human being ever got elected to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. This is where MAGA ignorance, gullibility, and abysmal stupidity has gotten us. The rest of us here in the United States are just horrified by the destructive chaos Trump is unleashing on this country and the rest of the world. Our profound apologies to Canada

I hope Canada realizes tens of millions of us don't want this either. Don't call it the American tariff. Call it trump's tariff. That is what it is.

So why is Canada already has tariffs on America he don't talk about that cut all aid to canada

I am an American citizen and I stand with you Canada!!! Thank you for protecting yourself and those of us not blind to the very obvious corruption.

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

You all realize he is a complete failure as a leader right? Propaganda aside, he is hated in Canada. Absolutely destroyed Canada on the world stage and within our open border. Canada will take years to recover if it even can. He should be in jail. He is done.. can't be gone soon enough.

Good for you Prime Minister of Canada ??, I wish I still had relatives in Canada, then I would have gone there for a very long visit w/them ❤

Great job PM Trudeau \nYehhhh Canada \n\nDonald has bullied and will pay

Canada you done

Canada is pretty cocky right now, but with US pulling back from Ukraine it’s gonna strain EU security and economy which will totally fuk Canada.we can always focus on South America and be ok. Canada will struggle.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

Trudeau is trying to blow Canada’s chance to be the 51st state!??

Alright looks like im going to Canada, very polite and articulate leader!

News Flash: this is because Vladimir Putina asked Donald Trump to do the Tariffs and that he shouldn’t have put them on hold. This is because Canada supports Ukraine.

As a red blooded american I hope Canada wins.

Really like young hood leadership like Canada president Trudeau as well French president Macron. US president Trump is old, crazy, imbecil, hatre, and dementia. He is turning friends become foes, and foes become friends.

For the educated among us, anybody care to go into detail about why Canada is in probate and maybe speak some actual facts and truth

Stop!! This is propaganda! Canada was asked back in 2016 to spend 5% on their defense spending and they are still at 1%. Also, Canada already charges us 25% tariffs. \nTrump wants fair trade and Canada to step up defense. They have let some of the top terrorists through to the United States.\nWe also aid Canada with money each month.\nTrudeau is a liar and a performer who stiffs his own people with some of the highest taxes.

Canada DON'T back down! Most Americans love you!

I Live in Michigan, and I Never Voted for this Monster ?, Trump....\n I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz....\n I Do Not Endorse Trump's Crazy Tariffs....\n On Behalf of ALL Americans, Who Never Endorsed, These Three stooges, that are Destroying my Country....\n I can Only Hope We can Get Through, This, and I dont Blame Canada, or Mexico, for the Backlash Against Us.....\n I support you're Position.....\nNever in my 62 Year's of being Alive, have I ever witnessed such raw pure Evil, as Trump, JD VANCE, Elon Musk.....\n I apologize in advance, and ask for you're Prayer ? that this Oppressiveness, will STOP ? Soon.....?

For any of you watching this garbage television station, please realize Justin Trudeau as single-handedly driven Canada into the dumpster. He is a sociopathic, narcissistic, twice proven unethical, lying left-wing.

Trudea is a joke!! Pay your fair share Canada!!!

Products need to be made in CANADA! Please start up factories and farming across Canada for all products. Excuse me…smart is not the word I would use

why not just let American banks do business in Canada? ?

Imagine a country's leader speaking articulately for BlackRock .... shame! \nBlackRock investments in Canada = $330 billion \nBlackRock owns 47% of Ukraine territory \nand economic + financial advisors of Biden

I want to move to Canada

Wait until the Americans next ask Canada to join them in any foreign military action! Big middle finger is what they’ll get.

Most stupid guy i have ever seen. This guy somehow manage to bring canada into trade war, congratulation to Canadians for unlocking new headache for themself....????

We are discusted about this and we know you will have to do all you have to do. I have always thought Canada and their residents are truly decent and reasonable people ane we don't blame you for anything. We know that the courts are getting involved and hope we can get Trump out of office. \nI personally wish you the best.

Such leadership!\n\nOh, Canada.??

Canada is in this mess. Cause of this pethic clown. This fake leaderless and his government. And Canadians are still waiting for their carbon tax dollars to be given to them. Also the borders are not safe they are easy to cross. Keep lies going.

We are Canada lovers in Washington state. So ashamed of the idiot in the White House--why can't we have a cool, smart leader like Trudeau? We'll be in BC later this month, then again in July, spending money, having fun! We stand with Canada!!!

Mdr d’ailleurs qu’est-ce que c’est que le Canada ? ?? Ne sont pas il pas un mélange de la France ?? et de la Grande Bretagne ???????

Canada has been raping America for years. Now someone comes along, puts a halt to it, and they don't like it? No justification? Take a look more closely Mr. Trudeau.

Who needs Canada ? byeeee

Trudeau thinks Canada can survive a trade war? ???. Canada doesn't have anything that the US can't get for itself. Unless they want to start selling snow to the southern states. We help them by buying their crap. We dont need it like Canada needs us. We subsidize their economy in more ways than one. And Trudeau is willing to learn that the hard way it looks like.\n\nOh well, Gues Canada Wont have much of a choice but to become the 51st state

?Zeleneski is smart he dragged EU?? & ??Canada to War that's not belong to them. Ain't he good sales man as President Trump said?

Im from Philippines living in Canada! GO CANADA! Im so proud I leave here at this dark times. Let’s do this together! Oh Canada we love this nation ! ❤️??

Trudeau has ruined Canada, he's lucky he has a narrative now

Justin Trudeau can burn in hell! Canada turned into a shit hole since he’s taken over.

I fear so much for my wonderful Canadian and American friends. Having visited both countries specifically New York in the US, Nova Scotia and Ontario in Canada, my heart is breaking for them. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and pray for my American friends' safety as well. From Penzance, Cornwall, UK.

Tudeau WEF pupette globalist ! Nobody likes him in canada . Wake up !

from California and we are standing with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico too.....

Geez mr Trudeau \nPlease rip up your resignation papers. Canada needs you.

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

Trump said the tariffs are in place until Canada becomes the fifty first state. Canada and Greenland are just another real estate deal, nothing more to him.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

Yes, Canada❤don't let that criminal win.

Trudeau is on his way out. Has five days left in office. He is very unpopular on both sides in Canada due to the state of things in Canada that have nothing to do with Trump. Obviously Americans commenting here aren’t aware of that. \n\nThe last thing most Canadians want Trudeau to do is publicly agitate Trump and make things difficult for the next prime minister.

I feel like if you’re beefing with Canada or Australia, your chances of being the bad guy skyrocket.
