Sad very sad. But Trump broke the deal with Canada and Mexico. Now, all of us are going to suffer the consequences of Trump and Musk doings. And there is nothing we can do. That is the saddest thing.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

We have chosen a foolish leader and we are dealing with the consequences! America must be ashamed of ourselves

I'm watching Trudeau deliver a fiery speech, addressing Trump directly. He called out policies and actions that have strained Canada-U.S. relations, emphasizing the consequences for both countries and the urgent need for respect and cooperation moving forward. We don’t want this, but here we are, facing the reality.

Small potato is only good at talking tough knowing full well he won't be around long enough to face the consequences.

It sounds like someone didn’t prepare themselves well enough for negotiation. Now Canada has to live with the consequences, because of its government’s lack of strategic positioning.

Dear all americans, dont let your corrupt leader mess around anymore, they did this for wealthy class's sake. You ordinary person will bear all negative consequences as inflation rises

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

If I really want to make sense of all this non sense, in this 'alternative truth world', I will say that, in fact, Trump is surprisingly the best advocate for sustainable development! Because, if the tariffs have the expected consequences, trade between both your countries will decrease, meaning less trucks on the roads, meaning less fossiles fuels, less production, less consumption, meaning less emissions of CO2. Is it what Trump really wants?

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

Go to it and don't stop, teach him the truth of a trade war and the consequences of stupidity!! ?

I hope the americans that voted for this farce of a government feel every bit of the consequences.

We here in the 3rd world depends on both those countries, things might be more expensive there, but consequences here are death. Only a very few people win, guess thats the plan.

the first consequence of this tariff war is that both Americans and Canadian citizen will pay more for their products. This will raise inflation in both sides.

As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

As a Canadian, I'm ready to deal with any consequences of this. Weldone PM ❤ ??

What a contrast between a real leader (Trudeau) and a crass demagogue (The First Felon). It took this moron 5 weeks to destroy 160 years of good relations. Its a disaster for both countries. Trump is a spoiled bully who has never had to suffer the consequences of his actions. We will suffer for him.

This is a watershed moment in history. The axis of evil now contains Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and the USA. History tells us that such tectonic shifts in political and military power have many unpredictable consequences for many decades. Peace in Europe is unlikely to be one of them. We must urgently prepare for the worst. \nThe USA is no longer a serious player in world affairs. If the EU does not fill the breech, there will soon be global chaos, and probably war throughout Europe. It is time now for Europe to decouple from the USA. We must prevent the USA and Russia from carving up Ukraine between them. Let's join forces.

PM Trudeau, together with the Canadian people, thank you for taking a stand, not backing down and act accordingly. Realizing it will have serious consequences for all, Canadians and Americans alike. I hope we’ll stand as straight from Europe. The democratic world should work together and unify efforts to take measurements to show we will not be pressured either by the US or Russia.

Go Trudeau! At least someone is standing up to him. From a US citizen who will probably be hit with the consequences - but I cheer you on!

Those tariffs against Canada, Mexico along with the rest of the world has all the hallmarks on what Trump really wants to happen in his project 2025 game plan. American population start to feel the consequences and rise up with protests on the streets, this will then give Trump a false flag to put the military on the streets so he can then crown himself dictator of Russia Mk 2. ?

When the willfully stupid vote stupid, we get stupid in charge. Everyone suffers the consequences along with the stupid. What else would we expect?

Thank you prime minister. Thank you for explain to our dumb MAGA LOVERS the consequences of their choices.

The consequences were predictable from a dumb US president.

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

We in the EU should stand by Canada and offer whatever support is necessary, including financial grants if needed. We should also match Canada by imposing our own 25% tariffs on the same goods and services, acting as a force multiplier. If the ‘Mango Mussolini’ refuses to listen to reason, he must feel the consequences of these actions. Hang in there, Canada! You are an incredible tough people and while your country is mentally prepared for this trade war, the US have not given it a single thought… they will be surprised and the madman will fold

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NOT TAKE NO INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ANY WAY OR FORM WITHOUT YOU ALL PAY FULL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR COMMENTS. FROM CANADA. AND WE DONT NEED TO COMMENTS OF SUPPORT IN ANY WAY OF FORM FROM NA OTHER COUNTRIES POLITICOS OR PRESIDENTES OR ANY LEADER . WE SUPPORT ARE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PERIOD. FK YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS OR ADVICE .MR. CANADA LEADERS.

Donald Trump does not have to be responsible for what he is doing. He will be out in 4 years and will not have to deal with the consequences of his actions. This is part of the larger Project 2025, again, Trump lied about this to the people that elected him and he will not have to suffer any consequences for what he will do. America has become a pariah nation and will remain that way as other nations regroup.

Trump supporters only want this. And they don’t even know the consequences this tariff war will cause

???Kudos and well done Great Justin Trudeau✊ for Educating the dum dummer so called American Garbage President. Donald Trump is too Gramps and Stupid in the Brain ? to be a Leader of any Nation or President of any Nation. Is a Shame that those Americans that fall for all his lies and Propaganda to get him elected are bunch of BOZOS, because they are the one to face the dyer consequences.

Trump is a traitor to America. Americans are stupid and elected a useless clown to The White House and now they have to live with the consequences!! Trump is a liar!! Nothing coming out of his mouth is the truth but all bullshit lies!!

Trump appears immune to criticism as long as there are no negative consequences to his policies.

My godson's parents, who he loves and respects and helps financially, are undocumented immigrants here in the US for 30 yrs. He lives in a community of undocumented folks. He and his brother voted for Trump. His whole family understands the consequences of so many people being here illegally. They all understand that being here illegally is a way for our government and the elite to use and abuse people much more easily. When you have as large of a percentage of the population who aren't protected by their citizenship and the laws and who can't access the full benefits of citizenship and who are always scared of being caught and will take less pay, people can be used and abused more easily.

When you fraud the immigration system then this would be the consequences. So many Indians come on false intention of studying and then doing more work hours than studying. Pakistanis and Indians wherever they go they think people of other countries are dumb and they can do all the wrong things and no one will do or say anything, which is not true. I am not talking about all the Indians who do this but majority of them.

“We are multicultural but come on !”\nYou are multicultural but you are multicultural. You were stupid enough to make this choice and you are just starting to pay the consequences.

Yeah, these people will contribute to society and be law abiding alright. If they can’t even behave civilly and respectfully on Day 1, what do you think is going to happen after illegal entry? \n\nBeing desperate doesn’t give you the right to violate laws and be disruptive and combative. I’d expect this from a five year old, but there are also consequences and remedies that normally go along with that behavior.

Next step should be arresting any politician harboring or helping these illegals. Zero tolerance with severe consequences

The reality is these loond in NY and the like will continue their crazy antics until there is a real consequence. Instead of waiting for more people to be victimized, how about sending some of these so valled public servants for an all expense paid vacation to sunny GITMO, a month should do it.

It pisses me off that these people know what they're doing is illegal but think that if they can get to some place like NY they'll be safe when it's a place in our country. Everywhere they go in our country is illegal because they are here illegally. NY & CA are not above the law & for these ignorant illegals to think they are is frustrating AF. It's reasons like this that these governors & mayors hiding illegals need to be arrested & charged for treason. Arrest just a few & watch how quickly the others begin to work with Trump. Consequences & repercussions tend to have a much better effect on people than doing absolutely nothing & allowing them to continue to ignore federal laws.

If you really seek asylum you'll be ready to do it legally. If you don't you'll face the consequences which should have always been applied. People panic because they think that it's now impossible to cross the borders but it's always been that way before the Trudeau/Biden debacle happened. They planned it by ignoring what was going and, for once, it worked.

Arrest people helping Illegals.\nArrest ANYONE funding groups that help illegals.\nActions should have consequences.\nDEPORT THEM ALL.\nEnd ALL immigration.

I would assume the increased legal consequences would skew the new illegal border crossings from migrants looking for work so they can raise their kids in a country with more economic oppurtunities to a higher percentage of criminals mixed in. I've had some completely institutionalized friends in Baltimore and can say that the bouncing in and out of prison/ have most exciting/chaotic situations/ brag to your friends while you pass the time locked up/ all around adrenaline rush is going to make that crowd see the conseqences as a nuicense and an exclusive challenge. Sort of the same reason that before consumer space travel, some people that grew up absurdly wealthy would do really foolish things to brag about, like climb MT Everest.

This is why I dont want to hear shit from whining leftist Canadians about tariffs. We had 9/11 in this country- CLOSE that fcking border “friends” or suffer the just consequences. For the first time in generations a traitor isnt running our country.

the biggest cash grab i have ever seen in my entire life. these idiots talk about Trump and Musk embezzling when they are literally trying to make America a better place. HoeBiden is a greedy old hag for all of this bullshit he put us through. and its crazy he doesnt have to face any consequences !

The illegals are FLYING into Canada. Soooooo, maybe more security and checking on the people arriving in Canadian airports. Canada must do vetter or suffer the consequences.

Been saying that the democrats don't care about our country or the American people. They only care about money and power to rule over the American people. They see illegals as future voters for them. That's why they let them in and supporting them with OUR tax dollars. Traitors is a great word for them. Consequences for their treason??? Nothing has been done yet. But I'm hopeful that the Trump administration will start making them accountable after they repair the worst cases of intentional destruction that the democrats have put into motion. ??

? It was never an “asylum crisis”. It was a national security crisis, national sovereignty crisis, a public safety crisis, a deadly drug flow crisis, a human trafficking crisis, a seggs slavery crisis, and a financial crisis - all actively facilitated by a corrupt government and supported by an anti-American leftist ideology. \n\nThanks to the Trump administration for performing their Constitutional duties to protect our country and enforce our laws. States like NY that refuse to abide by federal laws should suffer consequences. They are creating a Constitutional crisis, essentially engaging in nullification. If they won’t recognize federal laws they shouldn’t receive federal funds.

Canada needs to step up or face consequences.

Your compassion has lead to terrible consequences for immigrants and citizens alike. Decriminalizing hard drugs has lead to a rise in homelessness, overdoses, and theft/prostitution to make money to support those habits. These conditions also leave populations susceptible to outbreaks of disease that US healthcare is ill-equipped to deal with. Unregulated immigration results in gangs taking control of both the illegal immigrants and the communities they settle in. Trafficked immigrants are forced to work for the gangs or their families back in their home countries will be harmed. Because of sanctuary cities, law enforcement can't go after the gangs so the other illegal immigrants have no recourse.\n\nTLDR: Regulated, legal immigration creates opportunities for both immigrants and the host country. Unregulated illegal immigration harms both immigrants and the host country. Laws exist for a reason.

NYC are more than happy to destroy Americans using illegals and sanctuary city policy as excuses....treason of this caliber should be met with consequences of such crimes....NO criminal illegally coming to America in NYC are more criminal than these people who hate Americans and make policies that prove they prefer illegals over Americans. Makes you wonder if they are really getting voted into these positions or they are stealing the elections to maintain their power over the people. Just follow the money and the truth will reveal their true intent. These virtue signaling pricks only care for everyone except Americans which by that nature makes them not qualified to hold any office of government in the country.
