Trump does not give a crap about the usa.\n He will find ways for this money to drop in his own pocket.\nHe is a grifter, a fraud and should be in jail.

Maga is week! Merica is strong. America will be back, maga free and she will be better than ever. Next time Dems, vote for your canidate. Better yet find one that does not support AIPAC and is bought by them

Harsh! PM Trudeau called his name: Donald is very polite that donalddeserves be called convictedfelon trump.\nNah! I do not see any harsh words from PM Trudeau and convicted felon trump shouls apology PM Traudeau as felon trump him is governor.\nThis president felon misled his country nowhere but backward ,\nWhat is he doing for better! Nah! for richer? Nah! For American greater by those tariffs to closest ally? Nah! But American intelligent communities need to find out what trump truly is.

Put aside party political differences, we CANADIANS will stick together, and to fight together. Average Americans, please listen: We are reluctant to have a fight, but we are not afraid of fighting and for sure we will hit back when we are insulted, threathened, imtimidated and got the 1st blow on our face without any reason. No one can leave a fight without a bleeding face and nose and you will be as miserable as we love to see. CANADIANS can be as nice as anyone can find on earth, and we can be as tough beyond your immagination. Now with the 25% tariff on on, we will have no choice. You will feel the pain from now.

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Trump is a fool. The U.S. traded energy with Canada and Mexico. They will find other markets but the U.S is stuck.

I was born and raised in Siberia, occupied by Russia. I believe that America was and will remain the guiding star of the free world. Free people will not allow their country to join the club of dictatorships. How did this happen? I am looking for sources to read the comments of those who still believe that Trump is not destroying America, is not extinguishing the guiding star of all free people on earth. Where can I find them?

This guy shoots his mouth off every time he finds a camera in front of his face. That's what got us in this mess in the first place. Shut your mouth! You are making it worse.

I stand with Canada and if the USA now thinks it’ll find better friends than Canada and the UK, well, good luck with that… ???????

Hey Governor Trueduh, fock around and find out.

Trumps administration has decided to Put the American people first the ones who where FORCED to work there asses off week on and on just to get the crap end of the check all cause this country and that country wanna fight and NOW THE US HAS THERE TRUE LEADER BACK AND SAYS NO MORE. YALL wanna find shit to complain about kiss my grits. USA USA USA USA ?? ? THANK YOU TRUMP GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD J TRUMP. That’s my president!!! ?

In the grand scheme of things this wont hurt the U.S. The Pentagon misplaces 600 Billion every year. 155 Billion isnt going to make a difference . The U.S is going to find different suppliers who are willing to sell at a lower price. It's basic economics.

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

Your stupid stop crying no more money for Canada.....im the people an they did it to you i buy nothing from you an i do an never done business with you....we are America free from your comments...an Putin i respect...so go find your money somewhere else...goodbye canada

You all south of the 49th parallel are gonna find out real quick what consequences are all about.

We have fahq around and now we are finding out. What a bully we habe for a leader. i am so sorry and i am very ashamed of my country. What a pos

I’m BEGGING someone anyone in the intelligence community to find what blackmail material Putin has on Trump! Leak it!

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

UK here. Great speech. Said it like it is. I truly hope that when, not if, our turn comes, we respond in a similar fashion. Beware Americans, if Trump carries on like this you may find your closest trading partner is Russia, when the rest of the world takes American goods off the shelf.

I am Canadian and I don't trust Trudeau about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very serious problem in Canada. You can find it in schools and around corners of almost every community. Our government has no intention to solve Fentanyl problem here. If so, its not possible to stop the flow of Fentanyl from Canada to USA.

America = Dumb. Good luck living in isolation and high prices and letting billionairs gut peoples jobs and control media. You never were great other than ww2. Anything great about america if you scratch the surface you will find a Canadian behind it. Maga morons. Wake up, Captain Orange sucks at everything and russia is now your allie. You SUCK

Canada—I hope you find a way to strengthen your ties to other world democracies and keep yourselves safe from this crumbling world order. I hope you come out stronger than ever, America be damned. \n—A Despondent And Grieving American

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

People wanna increase the separation gap between America and Russia but in real sense if the world is at peace more will be achieved especially when USA and Russia merge their technologies and invest in space travel,improved agricultural technologies,finding cure for cancer and HIV(improved health care)\nMore credit will come with unity,because people fear that if Russia and America unite more solutions will be found around our globe.

I was planning to go to a U.S. National Park, but I guess I will go to Canada and visit theirs while also giving them my money. I love our national parks, but waiting in line to get in or going to one to find it littered because we can't be proud enough to pay for care of our parks? So pathetic. And that's not just our president, but anyone who is celebrating cutting these jobs. Those people probably just sit in their attics drinking Dr. Pepper while playing WoW all day.

Your suppose to be a humanitarian cut off the electricity to inocent people an find a way back from that

And Canadians have also continuously ripped off Americans through trade. Find your new customers and control your border !

This is why CNN should fail. Instead of finding someone who speaks French to interpret what Trudeau is saying they have morons telling us this isn't good. So boring. So worthless.

Canada scrambling to find their balls

Help us please. Most of us HATE trump as you know. What can we do?? It appears there are some finding foul play with the vote. \nI will hang a Canadian flag and stand with you.

I don’t care what no one say. It has never been done like this in American history with no president and all our presidents. We have 40 iCarly 44 president I do not call this guy a president. I do not give him the 45th or will I give him 47 I will say 44 and 46. I will always skip this guy because he’s not a president. No president act like a brat no president act like a female without no president act like a female without blood no president act like a kid without a tater tot no like a kid without some type of pacifier in his mouth and for the fact that in the first time in all our lives when your grandparents died, your great grandparents died your mom probably just died and then this is what we have as an American president and American economy and an American ministration never in my whole entire life. I seen this in part of an American history. I took the class I could I could You is never gonna find anything like this in American history until now and that’s why I say I don’t give a damn what they say. He only went into the presidency to cover his behind. That was it. He went into, not giving a damn if he was the worst he always gonna claim he’s the best but numbers don’t lie, sir numbers don’t lie Your fans might say whatever they don’t lie right now your fans are the same people calling the constituents yelling at they constituent ready to fight constituents because numbers lie, sir numbers don’t lie and it’s proven. You are the worst ever in American history. It’s proven that it’s proven that no matter what so good luck with all that hypocritical talk you wanna talk but there’s no way in hell I will vote for JD Vance no way in hell this administration would ever like recoverfrom what they have done to the American people rather vote independent Democrat then vote Republican the only way I vote Republican is Chris Cristi running for Republican for the White House if it’s not Chris Cristi I don’t fuck with no more Republicans, Chris Cristi or nothing

It is so amusing that bots have been employed in full force to ensure all the comments are giving a shoulder to the PM to cry on. He at least finds himself useful after attacking mindlessly countries in the world whose security he has no business endangering .\n\nPOTUS is doing what is best for his country and his steps are revolutionary and will cause some pain in the beginning but the population at large should exercise patience and understand he is the only who can get them out of the abyss and also ensure all the people exploiting Usa for their wealth and support don’t do so \n\nPeople have been using USA to their advantage and here is a man who makes sense with his strategy \n\nThis PM speaks as if his tariffs are going to shake up supplies to USA \nHe seems to be living in a dream . Anyway he is going to be out soon \n\nAmericans hang out with POtUs . He is tough less tactful and polite but he means business

Why can't Americans have a decent adult as president? Borrow a Canadian if you can't find one in the USA...

Makes sense cause we don’t want to go to war, tuff talk from our northern neighbors we protect, also Ukraine can get funding from others, I’d prefer my taxes go to finding snails and helping them cross the road

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

Tariff's on what? I took a hard look at what I've bought in the last 20 years and I couldn't find one single thing that was made in Canada....

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

Dont reciprocate tariffs and then use that money as a handout! Tarrifs are bad for the people. Just find other countries that want to buy canadian product and resources. That would solve the whole issue

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

It's like a backyard mechanic, change out hundreds of dollars worth of parts, just to find out it was a 2 dollar fuse that was the problem.

We stand with Canada. As a Wisconsin neighbor, we find our president despicable. He is likely a Russian asset.\nHold fast. Canada will exist long after Trump and the MAGAs are a distant, distasteful memory. ??

LOL IF TRUMP WANTS TO STAY IN GOOD WITH THE PEOPLE THAT VOTE HIM IN THIS TARIFF SHIT IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT THE WAY TO GO , HE WILL FIND THAT OUT SOON WHEN HIS PR RATINGS COME OUT AND HIS PEOPLE PAYING WAY MORE FOR GAS , FOOD, AND BUILDING MATERIALS

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

Oh no, what shall I do without all those Canadian products....wait, I cant find anything made in Canada in my entire house.....

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Here is another voice from Germany. Canada is a dream country in Europe. People like the Canadians, their independence and thoughtfulness. There are ideas that in this time of change we will find partners in Europe who represent our values ​​- welcome Canadians! - thx Mr. Trudeau for your strong words!

This is how fascism begins. First you find external enemies, then you arrest students for protesting, and then the whole country becomes the slave of a crazy old man. It happened like that with Hitler, it happened like that with Stalin, it happened like that with Putin, it will happen in the USA.

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys?
