This guy's own people don't want him. Also what about the tariffs Canada already has in place against the USA

Le Canada devrait fabriquer du fentanyl et l’envoyer aux usa ! ?\nCela compensera le manque à gagner de l aluminium

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

If Canada did join in with the USA the influx of center to left voters will ensure the Republicans will never be in power again..............\n\n...........just sayin!!!

Canada could consider offsetting losses inflicted by the new tariffs by reducing border control spending, allowing the USA to cover the costs.

The real reason US put tariffs on Canada: \n\nCanada has zero nukes- so they have zero deterrence. The USA has 3,748 nukes. \nCanada has zero aircraft carriers. The USA has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers. The entire rest of the world has 16, but only one is nuclear. \nCanada has zero destroyers! The USA has 65 Top Tier destroyers. \nCanada has only 85 operational fighter jets, but they are outdated and scheduled to be replaced. The USA has 2,740 with 786 being the latest Gen. \nCanada has 82 Leopard 2 tanks and only some are third Gen. The US has 8,100 tanks and they are all third Gen. \n2.3 million Canadians own 12 million guns, but many are low caliber and low use/capable. Canadians privately hold about 2.3 Billion rounds of ammo, but most is smaller caliber hunting rounds. \n81 million Americans own about 400 Million guns with extensive capabilities and usability, including permitted full automatic. The storehouse of privately held ammo is massive in the range of 2 to 25 trillion rounds. \n40% of Americans are raised in a gun culture and develop and hone their weapon use skills for a lifetime. 22% of Canadians have a similar gun culture. \n \nCanada has gotten away with having a weak military and saving enormous costs by not having to produce or buy military equipment. \n\nThe USA has never charged a fee for providing deterrence to potential enemies, and in fact pays Canada on a massive trade deficit instead. Canada exacerbates their precarious situation, by continuing to take guns away from their population.

Canada without USA could easily be invaded by other non powerful country. Please show humility and respect, be careful with your powerful neighbour.\nTrump knows Canada has nothing to defence themselves when something bad is going to happen

Trump will say Canada shouldn't have start a trade war with USA, like the way he accused of Ukraine starting the war.

Donald Trump is a degenerate. He is not making America great, but weak. He has already quarreled with Canada, Ukraine, Denmark, Panama, Mexico, France. He has weakened the USA both politically and economically. He has introduced restrictions on freedoms. It seems that he is tired of being president and is waiting for impeachment. Because he destroyed more in a month than was built in the last 70 years.

Canada, give USA HELL!

USA v Canada. ?\nGo Trudeau. \nOur ancestors and hero’s would be devastated but proud of you. Side by side. \nLest we forget ? ??

Heck! What is problems USA have with Canada??!! If I remember correctly, the last time he was president, he also do it.!!!!!

Canada not all USA agree with this break up . We still love Canada.

The craziest thing is that the trade agreements between the USA, Canada and Mexico were signed by Trump during his first term!

Trump is the man, Trudeau is a eunuch. Suck it up Liberals, let NATO enjoy the loss! They deserve every loss that is coming their way. I support strong Republicans and the USA unconditionally. Let Canada become the 51st as soon as possible!

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?

WE STAND WITH CANADA. SINCERELY THE USA. I MEAN THE SANE ONES.

Trudeau should be the last person to talk about making sense. Emboldened Khalistanis, encouraged illegal immigration, took the country down the tube. Radicals burning Canadian flag in the heart of Canada in pro- Palestine rallies. What step has he taken about it? At least Trump is “America first” president. Trudeau on the other hand is “everthing at expense of Canada”! Hopefully with right wing in administration in Canada, Trump will deescalate this. But all bets are off with him. \nAnyway, USA will never have Canada. People sacrificed themselves defending Canada’s sovreignty in the past. We will never give up Canada to anyone.

Trudo can't understand that US sanctions will affect Canada 1000 times more than Canadian sanctions on the USA. Canada is a poor country and counterattacking USA it's like shooting in your own leg. USA slaps own leg and Canada shoots in own leg. Stupid move Trudo, very stupid.

im just switched my plan from usa to canada. I wanna work as truck driver in canada like i did in germany some years. some contact in canada who can take me legally from eu to canada.\nwrite in coments thank u..

Boohh Trump, Cheers Trudeau! Canada shall lead North America sooner than later !Let God remind USA not TRUST elonMask, the worst American Politician INEFFICIENCYWISE!

Trump has just started..with likely hiccups...Canada is doing badly and Trudeau is on the verge of losing his position...Just do the need....stop drugs and illegal immigrants to USA...and show concern for the dissaperances ..and other injustices on its native population..The US will take care of itself...

This is all theater, behind the scenes they are scrambling to figure out how to get the Trump admin to the negotiating table. You can’t compete with the USA. Canada doesn’t hold any cards.

I used to love the USA now I love Canada. ??????? FCK TRMP. Trump thinks he is the King of the world, he wants money from everyone to fix the USA. What a moron.

Well, when one of the worlds famous American billionaire's ( Warren Buffet) TELLS YOU that tariffs are an act of war, perhaps you should listen. Trump is going to send millitary aid to Russia, and ask for Russian aid to annex Canada. USA- your sons and daughters are in danger.

...just a mental note: Canada borders mainly USA.

OMG what a most stupid move by Trump. As for Canada you have all the resources and intelligence to be self sufficient from the USA. Putin isn't the only bad guy as Donald is as well.

The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion in 2024. Why Canada don’t like USA products Mr. Trudou?

Mexico always has been an ally for USA and Canada, I don't know why USA goverment treat us like this, we should be working together instead of this, the only affected people are the people in the 3 countrys

The USA will gladly stand aside and let Canada take over funding the Ukraine war. US citizens have currently taken on a tax burden around $1000/tax payer. Get ready to tighten your belt Justin.

You people from Canada and the USA are worried, imagine Mexico, where many people can barely survive with their families on a minimum wage. God bless North America.

They have chosen to undermine the the ties between and among , canada should respond 25 percent tariff on all consumers of usa product

Canada blowing smoke. Canada and EU have always charged USA with high tariffs where the USA did not reciprocate. Now we will level the field. Do your research people. Canada needs the USA, USA does not need Canada. This can be all solved on tariffs if all countries do reciprocal %'s. Doubt that will happen.

I'm proud to be Canadian and American is not my enemy ! God bless Canada and USA ''.....Mr. Trump dear President than the \nHoly -Spirit blowing to you a good solution about all this!??❤

Canada you are going down! Lets go USA!!

I am an American and I am NOT behind this so called “President” Trump. he will never be my president. To Canada, please pray for the USA. We are being attacked by traitors and cowards.????

im from alberta. i support both old school Canada and the USA. i just wont be buying any more products from them..im interested in seeing what Donald does.

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

My question is, do we have a dictatorship in the USA? \nWHERE IS THE CONGRESS and HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES??\nMy other question is does Canada have 25% Tarrifs on USA goods? Just the facts please, no political speeches. If Canada has 25% tarrifs then Canada started the trade wars, not USA...

Surely Canadians are polite but not Trudeau . Trudeau is another Zelensky who is most suspicious, egoistic, double standard moron who will ultimately take Canada to Ukraine path. The west have been most cunning who befooled USSR &after its disintegration expanded NATO to Russia's boundaries. The world understand & now USA realizes that it was a mistake which started Cold War & paved way for Nuclear race. Russia has a better history than USA or Europe & specially Europe has a history of colonization. Be ware of Truedeau!?

FAFO commie Canada. I stand with USA, Russia. Soros and Klaus are pulling the strings. Wake up people

As Donald made alot of American is b******s, Canada won't fall for it. I rather live a bit less richer, than become this dictator b****h. Good Luck USA! YOU VOTED FOR THIS MAN, BUT WE DIDNT!

Canada aint usa closest friend or ally, Israel is\n\nSee how none of American gov dares say anything against israel???

There are winners. Becasue America don’t need Canada as much as Canada needs the USA

Canada, you should have gone to fifty per cent tariffs on USA, let americans like that????

USA CITIZEN HERE. MY NEXT TRIP WILL BE TO CANADA - I SUPPORT CANADA - I SUPPORT UKRAINE. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE MAN IN OUR WH

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

Canada is more American than USA rn

USA has been hijacked by \nThe Thugs In Office.\nAm sorry Canada ????

Our USA President Donald J Trump messed up when choosing a fight with a very well educated Leader in Canada. \nMost of America apologizes for Mr Trump and his crew. \nThank you for your patience.
