All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

He talk tough and tomorrow will bw sending a written statement just like last time, We stand with Trump , Canada already tarruffs our goods extremely high look it up ,, thus guys a joke , and he will be gone soon , all they have to do is secure their side of the border ... Canada letting too many illegals in

Why couldn't he just make a good deal with united state then fighting against the united state. \nWhat was the deal trump put on table..before this 25%

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

What does illegal drug dealing have to do with sudden tariffs on every day goods? Nothing! We can watch Trump becoming more and more insane at high speed.His methods: loudness , lies over lies, and blackmailing.

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.

Good luck beating that tonight Trump. I can't wait to hear more bullying.

American says good it will show other Americans who voted for Trump.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Good for Trudeau! Trump os killing the US. I'm with Canada

It’s so obvious that Putin has something really good on Trump. How doesn’t everyone else see this?

Its all so obvious. Trump tanks markets. And his billionaire friends buy buy buy buy. And then trump lifts all the tarrifs! profit profit profit profit profit! He's old. this is like his last kiss good bye to his family and billionaires! Money money money. The whole world getting grifted.

Very good Canada.stand up against a neighbor who is a bully and a fool.To americans,remove trump from office.he is destroying your country and the world.

Good for you Canada screw trump ??‍♂️

President Trump is the best American President ever. I stand with Trump. He has done a lot of good things. He doesn't take any countries B.S.

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

He is a good speaker but lack of facts that can make Canada stronger and make trump feel US is wrong.

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

Keep talking out of your ass you are not dealing with the Democrats you are going to start something that you cannot finish and anybody who is against America can leave with the immigrants you are going to regret going against Trump good luck buddy

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

PLEASE DON'T EQUATE TRUMP WITH AMERICA. 350 GOOD AND DECENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE AMERICA. TRUMP HAS ABANDONED DEMOCRACY.

Pretty much alk of the world is realizing how dumb this is, and how dumb Trump really is... I only hope that the american ppl react quickly enough to get rid of the Trump administration asap...These tariffs are good for no one, but will hurt everyone.

THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER MAGA TRUMP against deep state with one world agenda..battle of good vs evil.. truth will prevail??

Wait is this a dictator talking about a dictator. Must be nice to have a guy like trump to make you look good. Pots calling the kettle black again.

I still stand with Trump and Elon and Doge. Canada‘s government has to be crooked too look at what the average Canadian spends on a mortgage . Their citizens not in good shape.

As a Canadian I am shocked that very few Americans seem to care at what Trump is doing to their country. It's not the tariffs on all of the US's former allies but that he has dumped its allies to appease Trumps good friend Putin. I am looking at dismay watching the US go from being the leader of the free world to just another dictatorship run by billionaires, America is Russia. It's up to you America to stop this, no one is going to come to help you. Good luck you are going to need it.

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.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

Trump mask vance have to go , And that will only happen with people power ! Fight The Good Fight ?

I didn't vote for Trump - all three times. Unfortunately, more than half of my countryman were either too stupid and/or too racist. The first Trump administration was not good. I fear that this time, it will be worse. Keep up the good fight, Canada!

Trudeau is not a scumbag let somebody name starting with t and his cronies yeah they made a good deal and he broke it Trudeau is a real politician and he's for the betterment of his people and his neighbors Trump and his people or not I'm with you so I'm with Trudeau and all-americans who don't want a dictatorship I will not bow down to a self-made King with tin plated ego with delusional of God hood that go's for Elon also needer is not a good business man always had some one do it for them \n.that drug who owns ships qe all know Trump lies and musk??

and he chose to do the same to Canadians......... its better for CANADA to buy american good without tariffs, don't hurt the Canadian economy like Trump does to his people

God bless PM Trudeau ?\n\nGod bless you, President Zelensky ? \n\nTrump, Shame on you !\nYou abandon Ukraine and Europe just to lick Putin and get some business in Russia !\nYou have no shame ! ! \n\nIsrael, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nrich Arab states will offer Trump\nsome good business, \nsurely Trump will abandon Israel !\nand will take sides with Hamas, Hizballah, Arabs, Iran, Turkey ! !\n\nTaiwan, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nXi Jinping will offer Trump some good business, surely Trump will abandon Taiwan !\nand will take side with China ! !

Trump bankrupted multiple businesses so I dont think he is a good negotiator as he says he is. He's good as JD Vance's eyeliner

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

As a chinenese i understand why trump add 25% tax on chinese gods, but 25% tax on canadian goods that i dont understand

Oh Canada, the most beautiful country on this planet. We wish you good luck and strength to kick Trump's ass. The Czech Republic is with you

Amazing how many uneducated there are in America. That's why we have Donald J. (for Jester) tRump. Good going America!!!

What a nauseating twit. Hey Justin...tariffs on American goods are a tax on Canadians! I forgot-- you love taxes, because you're a socialist. You were right when you told Trump Canada can't survive this--because Canada isn't a real country.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Trump is smart. it's blackmail, he scares you with 25% tarrifs. then he will say, we can deal now for 15% or 10 BUT you need to give me this and give me that like minerals etc... if we dont well then our Canadien compagnies will either shut down or they will have to move to the States and than will give new jobs in the States. lol there you go win win for the States. Nothing good for Canada or others. He also said if tariff dont work to kill Canadien economie to absorb Canada then he would take it by force.

Good on him ? everyone is fed up of Trump and vance already ???

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

President trump is a businessman that’s what he does for his people. Sometimes being great at something is not enough for you to be a good leader . Your fellow Americans will suffer .

Trump's jealousy of Justin Trudeau's youth, charm and good looks runs so deep

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

I wouldn't expect less from Canada,, We have been getting all the Good News from Canada... Some things are getting Out of Hand from President Trump, and He is Speaking from the Responsability of a Man Protecting his Citizens and Economy.

Love the tone with addressing Trump. Yes, Mr President, you are the big boy, you are genius, you did great things. This not good.... just this one, otherwise good job big boy ?
