Trump is gonna bankrupt the US. Just like he bankrupt all his businesses ??. The dummies are gonna find out the hard way.

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

A real Indigenous American here we really dont care, make canada the 51st, get out of the wars. Gov. Trudeau is a liar, 2 way tariffs make it equal duh with your square head ass, big ass nose. He is using witchcraft with his words, he sounds like he is reading a bedtime story to put you all back to sleep.

Trump is a betrayer. What happen about russia, nato and so on is just a storytelling: trump already decide to racket us before betraying us. As wel as peace talk with putin on 2022 was a way to makenus lose time and grab concessions: putin already decide to invades ukraine. \nPlease, do not REACT tho trump rethoric. Doing that, we condemn ourselves to be too late and reorganise each time, following his epileptic compulsive decisions. WE, THE ALLIES, NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER AND ANTICIPATE,DOING OUR OWN PATH AND FORCE TRUMP TO ADAPT TO US, NOT THE OPOSITE.

The reporter addressing this speech as anti-americanism is the most shocking thing. Let me put it clearly for you in case you don't understand, CNN: isolationist policies lead to reactionary policies. American policies are anti-canadian, NOT the other way around.

Trump???? We the American People are going DOWN under your leadership, and if the courts and or senate don’t do something about it, well then, I’m afraid that there will be no way back. Period!!

Lady you are talking about calling Donald by his name, how about Trump the way he and the Vp Jd talking to president of Ukraine was not rude from both of them?.

He is right Canada ? at is trump doing at all same reason he is selling American government houses we the seniors can't afford higher food is ridiculous. We don't count any way we only worked 30 years to be poore is not worth it to work with illness like I did heart patient and sle lupus and many more and that never stopt me from working only to find out I be poor when I have to retire why why are seniors so poore. We worked for our money know we go with out meds just to make sure we have a little food ? sorry about the spelling I am going blind and I wars going blind from lupus why I wars still working

Trudeau is just happy to distract his citizens from the disastrous way he ran his country into the ground

The prime minister going to have his people suffer rather than protect the border the way Trump asked is stupid. Bend the knee and protect the border ?

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

As someone who has been leaning conservative this election I fully support this decision. This not about policy and social differences. This is about standing up to a much more powerful nation that is headed by a madman. This is an act of war. We need Poilievre to stand up on behalf of the conservative party and declare their support on this matter. The only way we mitigate the blow during this economic crisis is through a unified Canada.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

Harsh language?!?!?! WTF lady? I thought this was the nicest way he could have said it.

Stop saying the American government when referring to Trump: all he is doing is just him. Congress wasn’t involved\nStart reporting that way

You can't reason with unreasonable people. Thank you, Trudeau, for your dedication to our country. You have been a voice of sanity on the world stage. You have the intelligence and class to speak with other world leaders. I only hope your successor will behave in the same democratic way and not embarrass us.

This is gonna hurt all Americans not some Americans and believe me other countries are feeling the same way about United States like Canada. We’re losing all our lives.

Is there a way for Canada to join Europe as an honorary ally member for trade.

We don’t want this either, PM Trudeau. And this isn’t our government. It hasn’t been our government for a few decades now. Please do everything you need to in order to fight back. We will be ok. We will fight back against this criminal administration in every way that we can. God Bless Canada and its wonderful people.

What harsh language? He’s speaking reality in a very articulated and direct way unlike the dumb US has as a Handler.

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

just find ways to make more money guys. youll be alright

Not going to Yosemite anymore. Banff is way better.

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

Canada has been taking advantage of us for way too long. Time to start a building a border wall between the US and Canada.

If trump thinks for a moment that he and putin can ally against the rest of the world in trade, or in any other way, he's delusional. Putin is NOT trustworthy and will renege on any agreements he makes, that's what he does.

The way you guys covered this us disgusting

I have an idea if are friends.Feel this way about America, and you want them to go back then.Vote against them when it comes to Israel.I guarantee you that'll change your mind

Trudeau was being way too generous when he said Chump was smart. It’s evident that he’s not since he started the trade wars.

My friends would not have it where I paid them $5000 and they paid me $1000\n\nI don't even want to hear your lies Trudeau. You are calling Americans stupid right to their face. \n \nBecause only somebody really stupid would agree that America paying Canada three times more than Canada pays America is honest or the way it should be.

That criminal president is ruining our country. I stand with Canada all the way. I'm sorry for our shitty government and not proud of united states.

I can only hope that Europe and the UK will not wait, but choose for a preemptive tariff. This way in total $1.5 trillion of US business will be hit, in a combined strike of China, Mexico, Canada and the EU. This Bullshit of Trump has to stop.

Love canadians. Canadians we are with you all, all the way.

The United States is absolutely doing what is right for Americans period and of story way past time.

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Trump has disappointed many many Americans with this decision and his opposition to Ukraine—he will regret this, Canada our closest friends and supporting 3 years of Putin sickening terrorist attacks of Ukrainian civilians! I voted for Trump, but he is only ONE branch of our government, a Democracy, not Authoritarian! Our legislators should override Trumps decision, it takes 2/3 approval by our House and Senate and it does not matter what Trump does, he cannot Veto! Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

No one cares trudeau you are on your way out. Just get out of the office so someone competent can get in.

? well I don’t know this man personally but I don’t believe everything he’s saying because we know we have an idiot felon running stuff so there’s no way that what he’s saying is a lie. Your person is lying to us is the one that’s gonna do the state of the union this evening and that’s gonna be a damn joke. And he definitely looks better than Trump. I’m sure we could all admit to that.?

So we’re charging them the way they charge us and it’s making a pansy cry. He’s going to hurt Canadians, that’ll show us.\nCry me a river liberal Canadians.

It’s the funding for the tax cut for the rich dummies, that’s the reason why he raised tariffs for everyone. He knows he can’t raise tax on the poor to fund that, so the only way to raise $$$ to give that tax cut is to raise tariffs.

Please don't say they its only trump. Us in America feel the same way yall do Canada

Canada is subsidized by the USA???? man yall stand with enemy while for yearsssssssssssssssss the USA been taking care of every continent one way or another

I thought this schmuck was on his way out?

Trump is acting destructive everywhere, where he engages. He is destroying his country because the prices in USA will go up quickly and long lasting and their stocks will fall dramatically. Inflation is USA will soar and get out of control. His policies are firing back on his own economy.\n\nCanada will have little ore none impact from these tarrifs, they will overcome this initial shock quickly and recover. They will find better partners and other ways to trade. But USA won't find anybody any more who is willing to deal with him, everybody will avoid engaging with his administration, because they are acting ruthless. Trump isn't considering the ends of his decisions and he obviously doesn't care because he is an irresponsible person without a concience. He won't be able to do harm to other countries than to his own, he only destroys USA, because they elected him and they are following him on his way so far. The opposition in USA will become louder and much more influential and Trump will lose more and more companions in his own party.

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

Just ban all US import an exports... the only way to win a trade war is not to play

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????
