Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

We will see what Mexico will do on Sunday it seems! Go go go Canada & Mexico, Germany and the EU stands with you!

I can see Mexico, even China. I don't get this move against Canada.

Imagine a free trade agreement between Mexico, Canada and China.

What would it be like if Trump spoke coherently, had common sense, and stood up for our allies and condemned our enemies? I stand with Canada and Mexico. I stand with Ukraine. I stand with those less fortunate who need food and healthcare. I am from the U.S.

I am happy shopping cheap goods from China,Canada, Mexico. Trump is hurting everyone.

as an american, i stand with canada, ukraine, mexico, etc .

The Canadian leader is speaking to the American people out of concern. Look at what a whole lot of uninformed folks have done. Once you hear this you will understand the hell we will wake up to. Tariffs to America by China, Mexico, Canada. Making us isolationist joining hand with Putin. Oh my God

Canada and mexico gonna be american soon ????

What about the fact the Trump was approached as an operative to the KGB in 1987?? When is this going to be addressed? I mean, we are becoming allies with Russia. It doesn't get crazier then this. I stand with Europe, Canada and Mexico. Trump/Vance/Musk is enemies of the state.

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

Pround Indigenous woman from Arizona! Trump not my President!! I Stand with Mexico, Canada and all Europe! Never with Russia ?❤

I stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe, not Russia. ?.

Shame on you, CNN! Taking the side of a dictator wanna be when Canada and Mexico is trying to work with our lousy president! Shame on you! Wake up people! Trump is Putin’s puppet. He is selling out the United States for God sake wake up!

Watch TRUMP LATER TONIGHT ONCE HE GOES LIVE.\nHe will again bash CANADA & MEXICO. LIKE THE BULLY TRUMP IS.\nHOPE HE GETS IMPEACHED.

Europe is with Canada, Mexico and the American people who don't want this.

Trump is the one pushing anti Canadian sentiments for no reason at all. I am on the side of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Panama, Greenland, Denmark, etc.. I am Puertorriqueña and I regret that my beautiful Island and it’s people will be sinking alongside the USA.

Just completely appalled that a serving US President has stabbed in the back Canada and Mexico , sold out Ukraine, insulted allies and allied with Putin. Is this making America great ?

Bravo President Trump! Keep the tariffs on Canada and Mexico!

Trudeau is stupid, he doesnot know what Trump wants. Trump want manufacture moves to United States from Canada and Mexico.

Trump hates the trade deals we have with Canada and Mexico. But wait a second that was his trade deals he made with Canada and Mexico during his first term. He said it was a great deal when he did it! And the stupidest thing is none of these tariffs are going to reduce the fentanyl if anything maybe 1% or 2% less.

trump is destroying this country. maybe its time to move to Canada, Mexico.. get out of this country before civil war breaks out.

As American we stand with Canada,mexico,and Uk.

A prolonged trade war with Canada will will smash the US economy. A prolonged trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and Europe, will END the US economy.\n\nPS: Dear Americans, your President is trying to ruin the market value of your country so him and his friends can buy it on the cheap...

Canada’s tariffs has almost no affect on the US. Maybe Canada should shouldn’t be aligning with China and should pay their share of things like defense. You people will believe anything told to you by CNN. You people will put Canada and Mexico before America.

Putin is coming for Canada and Mexico soon.

Go get them Canada, Mexico and any other country that is being screwed by the US, Australia is with you

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

this guy is a dictator and most Canadians hate him the very reason he was supposed to step down but refuses to have an election to replace him just like Ukraine. you pump Chinese goods across the borders allowing China to sell here with no tariffs. you allow China to pump fentanyl across the border as well just like Mexico has been doing. Im not feeling sorry for this dictator. people for freedom dont freeze the peoples bank accounts that protest them like you did. best for Canadians to replace this fool before he drags Canada under before he voluntarily steps down. good luck Canadian people in getting rid of this dictator.

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

I was born and live in the US and trust me, there are many people including me who not only didn't vote for Trump, but can't believe his ridiculous rhetoric and actions. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

Every year 20 million Canadian travel to USA and that will stop soon and USA hotels and small businesses and airlines lose about 17 billion dollars just there, At the end USA will lose more than Canadian, Trump bows down for Putin but stab Canada and Mexico from back.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

Trump is not attacking friends and cosying up to adversaries. Trump has flupped and is Putin's poodle.\nAs such, he is attacking adversaries (Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine) and cosying up to his handler (Putin).

An embarrassed American that stands with Canada. Stand firm Canada...Mexico...UK.

I'm British. This is true, honest, loyal leadership. Absolutely brilliant!!! We stand with Canada, EU, Ukraine and Mexico ?

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

Trump is a travesty! As an American, I am appalled by his tariffs on our allies Canada & Mexico. Please continue to fight against his bombastic ways!! Thinking Americans stand against him!

As a US citizen, I'm proud of Trudeau and stand with Canada, Mexico, NATO countries and the Ukraine.

Donald is destroying all bridges and all connections with allies... Dumb president. I stand with Canada, Mexico, europe and not dictators.

Russian asset FELON47 allows illegal guns being smuggled into Canada and Mexico and will be held accountable for this crime

Trump was saying he was going to get his retribution. WTF did Canada and Mexico do to you?

The orange brush got old, white and ugly. Let him play politics with that little time he got when he won’t be able to tell where is Canada from Mexico.

Remember, it's not just Canada that is responding to Trump. Mexico and China are also responding simultaneously to Trump's idiotic tariffs. Mexico, Canada, and China are America's biggest suppliers of materials crucial to the American economy and are huge markets for American goods. If Trump thinks he can fight all of these countries at once and not have America receive grievous damage, then he is more deluded than we thought.

Trump should know that retaliation from Canada and China and Mexico brings down USA to its knees, From now on I don’t buy any American products as a Canadian, Whole Canadian are united behind their government in this matter.

Fuck Trump and his bootlickers. Standing with the American people who aren't MAGA morons and standing with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

To USA. \nYou ain't got no friends and all the others hate you.\n\nUS, Build that wall and we ??????will take turns together with Canada?? and Mexico?? guarding it - from the outside.

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

I want my fellow Americans to know that what Trump is doing by picking up on our neighbors. Canada and Mexico and talking about the Russian Eukrane war is a strategy to distract American people from their real problem is to fight the inflation ..this is a big game
