Yall are sheep. \nEvery country needs imports. But America relies on so many other countries to keep itself going is more than unhealthy. If China and the US went to war, yes, China would suffer. But look around your house, I bet most of it says - Made In China. That can NOT happen to the extent it is. \n\nFun Fact- when Russia, Ukraine war started, Russia couldn’t get Coke ( Soda ) now Russia has many knock offs that they say taste just like ours. Point is, Russia started making their own. Yes, the US will always need imports. But did you know over a dozen + countries already have & had tariffs on the US for a LONG time, some are even our “ Allies “. Do you know why they do it? To protect their economy. To protect domestic goods. The short term is always the hardest. But it’s been proven that the long run, tariffs actually help a country’s economy. Also, the US gets shafted when it comes down to a lot of trade deals. Yeah, okay, imports are great… ( If you are getting a good deal )

I say this to all Americans, t***p goes on and on about President McKinley as he used Tariffs on behalf of the US . Does he not realize McKinley was assassinated? McKinley was a nut job as well. I'm so sorry Canada for this childish rhetoric coming from our idiots in thief.

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Apply 3,000% tariffs on all US exports and charge US citizens $10k to cross the border. Further, order the evacuation of all US military staff on foreign bases to be removed within 21 days! \nThe UK and France have the nucellar deterrents to stay Trump's friend in Russia and restrict his aspirations.

Well maybe Trump needs to raise the tariffs up to 50%. Since 25% only makes us even with the tariffs you charge us

Clearly Donald Trump does not understand the simple concept of Tariffs...when reporters ask him questions he deflects the questions., President Trump is not acting according to the oath he has taken as President. Its obvious this is a revenge trip for all of the legal issues against Trump over the last years,, he is taking it personal and damaging so many critical pillars within the US and its all gonna come down and thats where he thinks he will personally win ie get his revenge.

Wait...Canada charge US tariffs on goods so why can we(US) charge you back. Stop complaining!

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

Stupid trump will hurt us for this stupid tariffs.

I tariff you, you tariff me. So what's the problem???\nIf the US is hurting ourselves as you said, how is that your concern?

Canada does not even need counter tariffs. Canadians already stopped buying US stuff.

Trump just placed the same tariffs on them that they already had on us.

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

Watching Trudeau attempt to speak tough from a position of weakness while simultaneously falling for a tit for tat tariff trap... Perfect?\n\nThe long term gains for the US here are massive.

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

He is also threatening to put tariffs on us Aussies...Meanwhile he wants to lift sanctions on Russia?

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

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

Hey buddie... why you charging us tariffs buddie?

Tariffs is nothing but protecting own country manufacturers and entrepreneurs. Let US be and Canada can raise Tariffs to protect yr own country interest. There is many more country for you to work with.

Sec.gov search Canada it’s just a corporation like the US. The tariffs are to drain us all, and across fake border.

Dont put Tariffs on the USA as they are passed onto the end user/consumer which are the American people. Put the prices up on your sale of electricity, oil and gas 25% that the US government buys, so it hits them first and they will think twice. ..... Trump never mentioned cost of living in his acceptance speech which had us wondering. This is why.

So let me get the straight we are now friends with the enemy.. and made our Friends the enemy.. Oh maga.. you definitely made America great again with this move.. the Israel move you made… Inspired more hate around the world which puts US citizens at risk… Great move on with that one… and the economy tariff bull ish.. made me loose 50 percent of investments… in less than 2 months… Just incredible

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.

Trumps tariff wars are smoke. What is his real agenda he wants to hide by keeping us busy with this?

Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.

Governor Trudeau, Canada has been imposing Tariffs to the US for years, you are a joke?

As long as Trump and his administration align themselves to dictators and impose outrageous tariffs on our allies and head toward an authoritarian government, all countries from the free world need to fight back against these unfair tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration. New torch bearers for the free world and the unified free world needs to decouple from an undependable, disloyal, Trump led US. Trump is tarnishing the legacy of the US in real time.

Trudeau about to catch some bombs with talk like that. The American People support Trump and the tariffs. Canada knows they can't fight us. Trudeau should bend the knee now to avoid the destruction later.

All we hear is how our government is saving so much money and now imposing higher tariffs, yet we’ll continue with the same tax deductions while struggling to keep up with the rising cost of everyday expenses. Meanwhile, politicians continue to tell us that this is America’s golden age?

Trump don’t care about his people, what he wants is make the investors invest in USA in order to not charge tariffs like if it were easy to do and get back on 2000 year when the baby Bush triggered the massive investment in china and out of us soil; smart punk then. Labor wages are more higher than in china or mexico or any other country.

We support Canada. All other freedom loving countries should follow their actions and impose tariffs against all US goods.

What an idiot. Canada has tariffs on the US for years. To hell with Canada

The US is showing the world it is now an unreliable, untrustworthy partner. Canada will suffer these tariffs imposed arbitrarily by Pres.Trump, but Canada will always be a reliable and trustworthy partner. I think the real reason Pres Trump is trying to subjugate Canada is he doesn't want the constant reminder what a true friend and trustworthy partner looks like. He is embarrassed by the comparison.

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.

Yeah yeah just stop with the BS Trudeau,....we've been getting over tariffed for years...and no your border isn't safe...do the research correctly,...and unfortunately we have to push you guys to protect your own border. Remember Canada is a country that won't even pay their nato bill? these guys are full of crap and taking advantage of tariffs is over. Just charge us what's fair. We can't be taken advantage of forever. These people are idiots...we don't need Canada to sustain this country. Time for businesses to come back to the US.

Canada's tariffs on the U.S. will hurt us more than them, we get more ìm items from them than they get from us. Trump is an idiot.

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

“MAKE THAT MAKE SENCE”\nDon’t be hypnotize by this guy, he has been been bad for Canada for the last 10 years, don’t listen to his bs, he is censoring the population, destroying the country following wef agenda and making our lives worse!\nIt will be hard for us Canadians the tariffs, but if it is what it takes to get rid of the liberal party!\nLet it be!

Not all Americans are with Trump or Putin. Many of us stand with Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Americans love their country, but many Americans are hurting and suffering and feel let down by our government. It's a circus now. We are sick and tired of the high cost of taxes, food, gas, housing, and now these tariff's that are only going to hurt Americans more.

As a Canadian… this man is a moron. Tariffs are taxes. \n\nHe taxes us to death. 1) We have 13% sales tax. \n2) We have 53.53% in income tax. \n3) Average property tax of $7k a year. \n4) 50% capital gains tax\n5) 10% luxury tax on new cars, boats and aircraft\n\n\nHe wants to add more Carbon taxes. \n\nAnd yet, he makes a big fuss over this.\n\nIDIOT.

Something I don't understand. If tariffs on goods coming into the US hurt US citizens. Wouldn't a tariff on things coming into Canada hurt Canadians? How does this help you? What harm does it bring to the president?

Americans need to understand: this is an *existential* threat to Canada. We cannot forget this, even if the tariffs go away tomorrow. We now *have* to diversify away from the US to the extent possible. This is a permanent change.

Trudeau is doing FAR more damage to Canada than Trumps tariff…STOP hiding behind this tariff war and let us vote you OUT !!!!

Please know the majority of us Americans don’t agree with not only tariffs but everything else that has been pushed on us by this regime. Nor do we want anything to do with Russia.

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

Coming off a Pandemic that crushed us all, and now we have Tariffs that are going to smash us twice as bad.

But Trump is putting us in a position to afford these tariffs.. he doesn't realize America sleeps on a mattress from mattress firm, so we sleep.. ?all night long!?

Damn this crazy so Canada has no tariffs on US goods or exports to the US I guess.
