Trudeau is a SNAKE. I don't trust him. Keep at it Mr. Trump. We are done being taken advantage of. Trudeau knows exactly that he is not protecting his borders and Fentanyl is leaking across into the US. Don't get me wrong. Canadiens are great people. But Trudeau is a snake. I can't wait for him to leave your government Canada.

Fentanyl is an allegation only of Trump to hurt the Canadians

This current regime is transmuting Trump's anger at the whole world into punitive measures. Tariffs will raise inflation, bullying and fingerwagging gratuitous. To use fentanyl and human trafficking and illegal border crossings as an excuse is chicken. Canada accommodated US by setting up commissions to combat each. So...what is the real schtick here? He is gonna alienate everybody but Putin.

Fentanyl is just nonsense. There is no reasoning or trying to use logic. The only thing Trump, Vance, and Musk are doing is grabbing power and money. That is the only truth.

No, no, no fentanyl is needed in healthcare. Don’t erase it.

Well. Based ON THEIR WORD Trump paused the tariffs because of promises made ...... Just like Mexico they said they would secure their borders to help stop the flow if illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs and terrorists into the USA... THEY DID NOT. China did nothing to crack down on fentanyl being smuggled out of their country (although I think they would rather see American people die of overdoses. When Trump says he going to do something he does it.. no more Biden woosie politics.

Trudeaus campaign was funded by canadian fentanyl cartels. He is a criminal.\nThis loser is taxing Canadians for PHONY climate change another 25% on April 1st. \nTrudeau is a scumbag globalist world economic POS\nTrudeau has EMBEZZLED more than he spent on the border

Your Canadian biker gang network. Is the people who collaborated with the Mexican cartels and Chinese mafia to bring pre curser chemicals into USA to make fentanyl. The FBI knows all about it. It’s well known that the 3 criminal enterprises are working together and the Canadian biker gangs are responsible for not only transporting the drugs but also illegal weapons.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

The fentanyl is made in China. The Chinese bring some to Mexico and COMES TO AMERICA IN VEHICLES CROSSING THE BORDER THROUGH LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRANCE. The rest of the fentanyl, the Chinese SEND IT TO AMERICA IN CARGO SHIP THROUGH LEGAL PORTS. So Canada... eh... mmmm... Canada... they... uh... ? Ask Trump ??‍♀️

This guys strong suit is lying. You and only you, waged a trade war, Turdeau. He won't tighten up the border because he profits from the drugs that are smuggled. He's all about getting people on drugs. He's the one who has fueled the Fentanyl problem in Canada. Don't be fooled by this liar.

Nice move PM Trudeau! I think Trump is under the influence of Fentanyl. Just like our former president DU30.

All through campaign, the tariff thing was about saving US jobs, now it's about fentanyl? Dumb attention-seeker policies keep morphing

Got nothing to do with fentanyl it’s psychopath fascist trumps colonialism and imperialism and standing for Russia ??

Why was fentanyl coming from Canada? They manufacture it?

So if it's not about fentanyl, then what is the endgame for Donald Trump? Something is definitively off!

Or course it's not actually about fentanyl or anything else. He's just doing everything he can think of to provoke a war because it would consolidate his power as a dictator.

These tariffs have nothing to do with Fentanyl. Fentanyl is the excuse needed to apply tariffs which otherwise would be illegal. Canada needs to start trading more with other countries. The USA is not a reliable trade partner when one man can completely FK the system.

Wow. That didn’t take long to get the Fentanyl under control. Why did they wait so long?

Did Trump ever mention Fentanyl as the cause for this? This is the first I'm hearing about that

Most of the illegal fentanyl is produced in China yet I have not heard Trump mention that once since his attack on Canada.

All this crap about Fentanyl is a joke. What about the Sackler family and oxycotin??? What about that cost to the American people?!! They still haven’t paid out.\n\nThis fentanyl trafficking is a front.. \n\nYou know you’re dealing with a cluster b nightmare when… if u think about them you become enraged and your blood boils

This is bs! The tariffs back and forth are a wash, netting zero! Stop allowing fentanyl in our country!

Trudeau and Canada are missing the bigger picture. It is beyond me why these politicians keep taking the bait by addressing these distractions like fentanyl. This has nothing to do with fentanyl. It has everything to do with Trump weakening Canada to seize control over the Northwest Passage per Putin’s instructions.

I am so glad Trudummy finally did something to combat fentanyl this past month. I stand by Trump. Beans and rice is fine by me.

Trudeau sells fentanyl to 10 year olds. Not a joke look it up

These tariffs have nothing at all to do with Fentanyl. It’s just a stupid excuse to screw up everyone’s economy. Our president is a despicable dictator and his voters still continue to justify his psychotic behavior.

Why did it take Trump to make Canada do obviously easy enforcement on Fentanyl? Shameful.

All Canada has to do is stop the Fentanyl coming across the border! Its that simple!

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

CNN is disgusted headlining Trudeau like he is amazing and defending Canada stop hating our country..Too many young kids have died from fentanyl poisoning because of these people why don’t you look a parent in the eye that lost a child and tell them what Trump is doing is wrong you would never you cowards

Trump just wants you to secure your border to prevent fentanyl operation and coming into usa...but you are so stubborn to do that.

I thought that fentanyl is required for surgical general anesthesia?

Fentanyl pa more Tatay Digs ?

FACT: There is MORE Fentanyl moving from the US TO Canada than the other way around. Trump is lying to his party but sadly they just eat it up. Dark days are here and Civil war is coming to the US because Donald will try to stop protesting with violence. He is already threatening pulling funding from any college or university that allows campus protesting. WTF is that besides a NAZI maneuver?

Fentanyl is the most abundant pain killer in every American hospital. Handed out like candy

Tariffs seems to be everything to do with fentanyl and other drugs that is costing American and Canadian lives. Lets stay positive and totally eliminate trafficking this drug that is taking lives of many people.

What about the past 4 years of fentanyl crossing the Canadian boarder.

It's not American's that are doing this. It's republicans. This is sad most of the fentanyl drugs are coming from america

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

Isn’t Canada infested with Fentanyl addicts?

Fentanyl is just an excuse for the tarriffs as only 0.2% of Fentanyl crosses the border into the U.S. It’s drug cartels from South America that are trafficking the majority of drugs as well as gangs in the U.S. as well. \n\nBut it’s telling that Trump just ignores the fact that Americans themselves have a huge opioid crisis or what he’s doing to stop it but instead he’s blaming Canada which is just BS!\n\nTrump is a traitor to American Allies!

Someone please correct me if I'm not thinking about this correctly... if fentanyl is coming into the US from Canada, wouldn't that be a problem for the US border patrol...?

Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin and grow his Empire, he wants Canada as 51st state to grow his empire. That is what it’s about, not fentanyl.

Has Trump not considered the amount of fentanyl that is actually being produced right in his own country, same as in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

Why don't they stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.?

I wonder how many Americans bring fentanyl into Canada ? I’m sure it’s pretty even.

Trump doesn't care about Fentanyl.... he's just a moron that thinks tarrifs are going to be a money maker for him. \nIts the only economic policy he's come up with in 10 years.

This idiot could end it just by stopping the flow of fentanyl through his country. Why would he not want to do that? Because he could care less about the american people.That's why.

Of course it has nothing to do with fentanyl. Everyone knows that, even most Americans know this. Trump is in bed with Putin, Putin wants to build an Empire again, wants his USSR back, and Trump wants to compete with him by building an American empire. Trump and Putin are pushing WW3, nobody else!!!
