They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

We, the American people DO NOT want this either ??? I hate how those of us who did not vote for this bs get roped in with HIM. We do not stand with Russia either!!

As a North American, WE DON’T WANT THIS EITHER!!

We don’t want trump or any of his cronies either.

I'm so sorry my country's leadership are being such buttheads right now. I dont want this either Canadians.

As an American.... we don't want this either. Most of us that aren't in the cult reject his lies. I am trying to learn all I can, not really a reference point for how to handle this here but we're fighting... I stand with our true allies, not the axis.

I can't speak for all of us, but I didn't want this either. I didn't vote for Trump and this is one reason why.

We the American people don,t want this either! It,s out stupid Republican government!!

We don’t want it either!!! It was out of our control! 50% of Americans DID NOT WANT HIM AS OUR LEADER. Y’all can have him and his Queen ElMusky. The votes were rigged AGAIN!!!!!

As an American \nWE DON'T WANT THIS EITHER

We don’t want this either, Canada.

We don't want this either!!!\nTrump is destroying our democracy and needs to be impeached!!!

Please don't confuse Trump with the majority of US citizens who do not agree with any of his actions. We don't want this either.?

US citizen here. Love you Canada. Don’t hate the people, we don’t want this either

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

The tariffs are on all countries importing into the U.S. \nYou either build in the U.S. or have higher tariffs, it’s a strategy to build more business and jobs in the U.S. \nFixing the U.S. economy that is $36 TRILLION in Debt, while cutting off foolish spending in USAID. Do you have a problem with that?\n\nThe decision to befriend Russia is not cause Trump is pro-Putin, but to end a war Zelenskyy wants to continue for years, an utterly unnecessary war where thousands are dying for no reason, and billions spent on war when you can spend it on building up the economy (we already gave Zelensky 300 BILLION of our taxpayer money and Ukraine isn’t winning). The goal is to end unnecessary dying and to prevent WW3 nukes flying. Only complete fools think playing games with NUKES is a good idea, pointing a finger at you NATO!\n\nWhen NUKES fly, we are literally f…..ed!!!!

We the people don't want this either! Maga has taken over our democracy

TRUMP did this....most of America didn't want this for any of us either ❤

We don’t want it either trump is a douche and doing all this crazy shit wtf impeach impeach

As an American, most of us with brains don’t want this either. Why can’t Trump’s narcissistic ass just let shit go. Oh wait. He’s a narcissist.

We don’t want this either. Canada is are allies.

Very well done, sorry guys, it's not the population, it's the 'peers'. We didn't want this either.

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

American here.. I don't blame you Mr Trudeau most Americans don't want this either. The Musk Trump Show has to end???????

We Americans don’t want this, either.

We don’t want either, sir!!??? I didn’t vote for him.

Justin Trudeau, we Americans don't want to do this to your country either. We want to remain friends.

As a US citizen I don't want tariffs either.

WE DONT WANT IT EITHER I?

As an American I don't want this either but yes OUR government Is HURTING everyone, I support your efforts to protect YOUR country. You are doing exactly what you need to do. Not all of us are stupid.

We, the caring and smart ones, don’t want this either.

Love to Canada from down in Texas. We don’t want this either

We're with you Canada. We don't want this, either. Because you are a gentleman, like all presidents should be, you can't call him what he really is, a bully, spoiled brat, and incompetent Douch bag. Unfortunately we don't have a gentleman in the White House.

Thank you for your speech to us. As an American, I understand. I don’t want this either, BUT YOUR ACTIONS are very necessary. This clown must finally be dealt consequences for his actions

On the outside we are made to believe such things but I know behind the scenes things are different. What have you done to your own people? No one is perfect and no one party either demo or repubs, there are going to be good and bad. I just want more good vs the bad. Why are you talking about America, worry about Canada.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

American here, WE DONT WANT THIS EITHER!!

We understand. We live just south of Lake Superior. We don't want this either but it's important that no country should bow to the United States. Let us be clear- Our president lack moral character and integrity and is no more trustworthy than Putin. Trump isn't concerned about Fentanyl, because if he was, he wouldn't be gutting the agencies that track it.

We dont want it either. But we are stuck with an inept autocrat. We understand that you must do what you need to do to protect your country. This American supports you.

We don't want this either. You are correct on all fronts.

This is so embarrassing ?.... Canada doesn't deserve it & the people don't either! Makes 0 sense what he's doing. I believe he wants all of us to suffer. \n\nHe's chosen Russia over our neighbors. The people voted against their interests. \n\nI'll never understand why people voted for him with what he promised to do. What a mess. Ruining our economy? Makes no sense.

We don't want this either. At least those of us that voted ? I am sorry our Canadian Friends.

We dont want this either...this is Donald being the ass he is.

We don’t want it either! We all admire Canada—thank YOU for standing up to that bloated orange sad excuse of a “president” we have.

We don't want this either. We love Canada ??

The American people don't want it either, the current admin is not OUR gov't. I can not criticize your reactions. As a matter of fact, I find them completely reasonable.

As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

Sir we don’t want this either ?

We dont want it either !\nA madmans hammer isnt creating it is in deed destroying
