Trump go trump don't send any goods to Canada put more tariffs on if Canada want to become our honest partner they should be equal we aren't equal currently Canadian stole all our jobs send all illegal immigrants and all the drugs in to USA and that's enough now Canada doesn't want to get hurt same as USA currently Canada can't get along with USA better came with some other idea or wait until 2028 ❤❤❤?????????

Trump is going to give the USA to Russia and he's going to go there too and the world's going to be fucked!

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

Again get the world out of this nightmare and Arrest these 3 Idiots in the white house! Trump Vance and Musk... you have no much time left before things are going really bad!! stop them take the power away! or you will witness the end of USA and rise of chaos and terror! Trump and his gang are a cancer for democracy! stop them before they destroy you! or is it too late already?

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

Going to be interesting to listen to Trump lying to Congress tonight. His only other option is to avoid talking about tariffs. And the big question: will Congress wake up tonight and start asking questions about what Trump is doing and why (the real reasons)? Lastly, why the big hurry to cozy up to Russia? What is in that for the USA?

Canada wants to be back with USA but Trump needs to go

I am Canadian. Trump might be smart. To smart. Thus has let Russia put a nose ring in. THINK BRICS. APRIL 2nd if Canada and all EUROPE JOIN BRICS what is going to happen to the US dollar? IT WILL CRASH!!! CHINA RUSSIA INDIA and many more are in BRICS. THE USA PETRO DOLLAR IS IN JEOPARDY NOW. CONGRATS TRUMP ... THE ART OF THE DEAL is going to really hurt the USA. I fell sorry for the people of the USA. I fell sorry that CANADA has to cut off our power, electricity, our oil, our water, our nuclear energy and more. ... God help us all. This is WWIII and will not end well for anyone.

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

But Americans voted for this, they love King Trump, the messiah, the economic genius. He's going to make USA the greatest at everything. ????????????? Normal folk reckon he's a two bit dickhead.

The country that receives products has to pay the tarriffs, so that just means we will have to pay more too. So STOP exporting/importing to/from the US. Period. Trade with countries that NEED OUR PRODUCTS. I don't even care if we donate everything to Ukraine. \nAs for Fentanyl, people need to stop confusing prescribed Fentanyl to terminal or people suffering with chronic pain. CAR-FENTANYL is what's killing people. Artificial fentanyl. They are not the same.\nHow about we go after ALL the dope and weapons constantly coming FROM THE USA?\nI NO long have sympathy for Americans. They put a CONVICTED FELON into office. 90 MILLION Americans couldn't even be bothered to vote. You reap what you sew.

Trump is slowly going to destabilise the USA deliberately in order to bring on a civil war & uprising so that he can involve the military to help him control the country by force. Mark my words that's his grand plan at home, he wants total control. Don't let him win if this happens. He wants an authetarian state similar to Russia, him & Musk, vance. Then he will try and take Greenland or even Canada, he will try to wind his supporters up into a frenzied in some way or form to basically pick a fight. With a military style rule over the USA he will then start to invade his neighbours or any other mineral rich nation. This is the worst possibility God bless it never materialises.

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

Trudeau is a total shitbag disgrace of a governor!? Canada needs the USA more then we need them! Without the USA Canada will fail and we can annex them! So keep going! AMERICA AND AMERICANS FIRST! ??? GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND HIS GREAT ADMINISTRATION!???MAGA! ???????????????

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

From The Netherlands: Bravo to you Trudeau! And to you Canadians. We’re on your side. ?????✌️… I can’t believe what is going on with the USA and how that monsters Trump can do such a thing, and why?!? And how does democracy works in the US; did he get a majority of votes for starting this war?!? It’s disgusting (and the start of WW3? I’m scared as hell).

Go USA. God bless USA.

USA farmers are really going to suffer. Doesnt like 80% of the fertiliser they use not come from Canada.

Genius Trump, who wrote Art of Deal. He want split Rusia from China and get rare earth. Insted he is spliting Europe and Canada from Usa. And rare earth will go to Europe or China. And prove worldwide America can be trusted ?

canada i am so sorry for what the usa has done. trump is an angry demented old man. he bullies everyone including americans in office. he has the money of the drug addict elon behind him so that he can legally go after everyone. and god knows what trump owes putin. dont trust trump. i am thankful that leaders all over the world are standing up to trump, even if few american leaders can / will.

The USA prefers to act & think like a clueless inbred clown at the circus & our leaders tend to reflect that & take advantage of that going back as far as the Reagan era. The majority of Americans revel in their ignorance & malevolence while callings themselves Christians.

Thank you, USA to who ever supports us here in Canada thank you. It’s gonna be a tough go with Trump in office hopefully not for too long.??

Trudeau has always been good in a crisis and for that I’m sorry to see him go. I give a thumbs up for all of parliament for putting differences aside in these last few weeks to fight against trump. I hope we bolster our trade with other countries and never go back to the USA.

Wow, a truly impressive speech! Thank you so much for standing up against the bullying Trump-administration. These dangerous clowns are about trying to dismantle democracy and freedom all over the western world.\nMe and my family were planning to visit USA for vacation this summer. After the shameful White House -meeting last Friday these plans were immediately abandoned. We now decided that we are going to Canada instead. \nGreetings from Switzerland

USA is going to end up like Russia.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Way to go USA. God blessed u with Trump, his buffoonery is showing???

USA and Russia as allies? WTF!!!!!!!???? Since when? Since trump's been in office? Holy Sht..... Use your heads people. This guy has to go!

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

The American Citizens fact are, that in the USA we have Citizens Drug Cartels American born and bred. We also have weapons going over our boarders as it is way to easy in America to buy those weapons. But the MAGA will not recognize or put a stop to it in America.. so shameful and mortifying.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

After surviving every downturn, terrorism, world wars. \nIt turns out one man has the power to destroy the USA. \nTrump has to go.

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

Canada couldn't hurt the USA IF THEY TRIED FOR HUNFRED YEARS YOU SIR HAVE ONE OPTION ALIGHN WITH OUR PRESIDENT OR YOU WIIL REGRET IT YOU AREA FOOL IF YOU THINK THIS FOOLISH PRESS conference is going to intimidate president Trump only a fool would try something like this so stupid.

British…..Canada over USA every time go Canada go

Madafaking trump. Hate this guy with passion. What an a hole. His going to be the downfall of USA

We Canadians can no longer trust the Moscow Agent Governing America since he trashed the fair trade agreement he signed. Canadians are boycotting made in USA. Feel bad for many Americans who did not vote for the Tangerine Toddler in chief. Ffs when will the Republicans wake up and realize Cheetolini is going to destroy America. I agree with Trudeau today, this trade war is dumb. Thanks from Canada ?❤️??

Trump needs to go .. he's going to literally destroy everything the USA has accomplished.. not to mention the disgusting ideology he has of dictatorship . wake up fellow Americans.

Trump is going to bring the USA down

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.

Trump gives USA up for Putin. Next - he is going to break NATO.

Very strange what Trump is doing. 1. Sympathize with Putin. 2. Isolating Canada 3. Retrating USA troope from Europe...USA i think Trump want's to isolate you and make you go to war. Get him OUT !!!!

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

@Wesly Clark, is there anyting more going on/of this, out of the blue, total brush down of alies? Is there a reason? Would be nice to have agenda, to be able to antiscipate on it.... How much more friends USA is willing to lose? Right now Vance, allone, would not be safe on the streets of Europe... as we understand him to be a contemptible dishonorable man

Go Justin Go! Go Canada Go! So good and true speech! Wake up USA. You need to take back your country before its totally destroyed!!!

USA #1. Let's go TRUMP!
