Can someone explain to me how this is supposed to make groceries cheaper? I still cannot afford an omelette.

I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!\nANOTHER LIE!!!

Native Floridian in the US here sending big hugs out to Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau, Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and Mexico and La Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum❣️ I wish my one vote and activism had been enough to stop the re-election of such a horrid, arrogant individual back into our WH. It all makes sense if he is aligning us with Russia

I’m extremely disappointed in the American people that voted that weirdo in. They couldn’t see pass their hatred to make a smart decision now so many of us will suffer ?

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

I don’t understand why everybody is surprise by what Trump is doing! Are we that dumb! He does not care x the country, its citizens, least of all the constitution! He is and has been working to destroy everything that makes this country what it is! Please wake up!!

Bull! 1% of containers are inspected ! Now, after 9yrs, he wants to make positive changes? He will always be a cockroach!

understands the reason Trump's doing it.. he's is appeasing, staying in line with Uncle Putin, it's all about making him happy

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

For this reason they to go for russia since US is making also enemies in the neighborhood.

This fucking sucks. Im trying to build a small cabin so I'm not homeless and now lumber prices are super taxed for no reason. They just want to rip apart our forests and parks at home while making everything more expensive.

Donald clearly is ahead of the rest of us in the fight against climate change, understanding as he does that a painful recession will lead to a deep reduction in the production of greenhouse gases as people cut back on their spending. If only we could see it as clearly as he does. Surely he will make his intentions clear by undertaking a farsighted austerity program, limiting his flights to Mar A Lago for golf outings.

Finally, a guy that's making sense providing information for the public that is congruent.

I believe Americans must stop this fool. In my opinion he is desperately trying to destroy what took 80 years to make. He is trying to turn friends into enemies, he is trying to change America from democracy into dictatorship.\nThis is very sad. \nI hope Americans will not allow one imbecile and bunch of crazies to change your great country into land of unrest and division.\nYou must stop your president from dismantling your country.\nJust my opinion ?

Make Canada Great Again!

Screw Canada and Mexico! Putin makes for a better friend anyhow ?

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

Why do I feel like Trudeau cares more about my well-being than my own government? Not all of us Americans support Trump. Frankly, I'm terrified of what he's doing. I support your push back, Canada. It only makes sense. I'm glad there are countries out there with safe and logical leaders. Hopefully someday the U.S. can have that again.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

What Trump is doing is smoke and mirrors. He thinks these news reports from CNN are fake news. These things are distrations. He thinks his followers believe he is truly making America great. The Nazis are running, i mean ruining this country

Trump is too proud and ignorant to change course, or admit he’s making an error. Trump thinks like a ten year old bully.

CNN should do their research on this clown before they try to make him look like a hero. But then again what do expect a leftist news network supporting a leftist dictator.

Very good I'm glad that he do that I hope mexico do the same I leave in chicago but I'm not agree with the president who uses cheetos make up muy bien Trudeau

“Speaking harshly”???—He didn’t advocate for any person or group’s death or curse or make any personal attacks even ???? Canada, would you please consider lowering your visa requirements please omg ?????

TRUMP: MAKING THIS COUNTRY HARD TO MAKE A LIVING!!!

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

Trump and JD Vance are cowards. Trump has always screwed people to make a buck. Small dick and shitty hair. Hanging onto British royalty that cannot stand him or his horrible offspring. And Vance, does his wife put that mascara on each day. What a pathetic piece of shit he is. .How did you vote for these twats?

Bro really said “make it make sense” I’m sorry I can’t ?

Trump Make Russia Great Again ???

As an american im on Canada's side. Make it hurt.

Don’t back down ever Canada. As an American I want you to make Trump look as stupid as he is.

Canada doesn't sell fent. They just sell EVERY ingredient to make it from China, play that crap somewhere else I see you!!!

just find ways to make more money guys. youll be alright

Congratulations to Mr Trudeau on his excellent response to our crazy president. Glad you are our cousins, it makes me feel safer.

Oh, make no mistake,, Trump doesnt care about phent. why would he care about an addict, or an overdose from a someone who doesnt vote,,, Stop it!

Trudeau is going to lose Canada and make it the next state of America

The tariffs make sense when you realize that trump's real goal is to destroy democracy everywhere so he can be a dictator like Putin.

He read the US governmènt for filth. He is so right. WTH with tariffs with Canada. It doesn't make sebse. Our government is acting arrogantly and condescendingly by continuing to call Trudeau 'governor' and refer to them as the 51st state.

If trump thinks for a moment that he and putin can ally against the rest of the world in trade, or in any other way, he's delusional. Putin is NOT trustworthy and will renege on any agreements he makes, that's what he does.

Justin can kiss my ass. Liberals let the drug problem. Liberals are farting around with their party while Canada needs a govt in the oval office. Liberal party makes me sick. Jagmeet is a piece of crap

Look up the French connection it’s how drugs especially opiates go from Asia to turkey to Italy to Canada a lottttttt of drugs come through the north this guy is a liar and if prices go up we work and make money so whatever bro

Canadians r sorry but we will make things hard for america and no one will be to blame but their president the walking orange pumpkin school yard bully, ? tarrif on Tesla woot woot, we r done with Musk making money on Canada, we r don't protecting America, joining their ridiculous wars and losing our own ppl for their benefit, they will see what elbows up means to a Canadian

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

If President Trump & Justin Trudeau could overcome their dislike of each other and STOP making this personal we wouldn’t be in this tariff war!!!!

IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE DONALD IS DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! DONALD IS TOTALLY STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

AMERICA IS FCKD!! You may be able to survive a trade war with Canada, you may be able to survive a trade war with Mexico and China, you may be able to survive sending millions of undocumented, necessary workers home but you can't survive it all at once.\n To make your situation even more dire you are busily alienating all your allies while sucking up to murderous dictators who will happily knife you in the back at the first opportunity. \nAll this because your country is full of stupid, hateful people who just couldn't stand the thought of a black female president. \nFAFO.

make that make sense tho lol trump doesnt want usa to go to war (nukes) with russia and allow putin to be buddy buddy

Trump and the Republicans desperately want to make the USA the 22nd Republic of the Russian Federation.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.
