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.

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

Mexico stands with Canada and our president has also applied tarrifs on the US as well. Well see who gets the last laugh...

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS TRUDEAU HAD CHINESE SOLDIERS TRAINING ON CANADIAN SOIL BEFORE COVID. REMEMBER WHEN HE SENT THE U.S. MILITARY TO ITS NORTHERN BORDER \n TRUMP ALSO KNOWS THAT LIKE DEMOCRATS TRUDEAU HAS USED TAX DOLLARS TO BRING IN MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE LIBERAL AND BUY HIS LIBERALS ANOTHER ELECTION. HE ALSO KNOWS TRUDEAU LIBS HAVE BOUGHT AND BRIBED CANADAS FAKE NEWS MEDIA TO ATTACK TRUMP FOR 9 YEARS AND BE LIBERAL PROPAGANDA MACHINES

I hope europe also will be able to hold together like this and have the balls for such true words against Trump.

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

All my support from France to Canada. Democracies that are true to their values need to neuter Trump. There is no other way. Being a felon, a fraud and a sexual predator wasn't enough. He also had to become a threat to the world order that has stood firm since 1945. He and his boss Putin belong in jail.

I feel bad for the American people, I have friends there and they have a hard enough time as it is. This just makes me sad. I also have friends who have died due to fentanyl, fix our border on both sides, damnit. And catch these assholes who are killing both our countries citizens.

Actually the convicted felon is not smart. At 12:01 he showed the world how stupid he really is. he should burn his s**tty book, the fart of the steal, and seek advice from someone with a brain that understands economics. undoubtedly the idiot doesn't understand that he loses also. And the clown rages on.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

The guy speaking is also a drug dealer he mad there going to cut in his personal money

AMERICA IS FULL OF LYING , MURDEROUS DICTATORS ALSO . JUST TAKE A LOOK AT OUR HISTORY . . . NO WONDER PRESIDUMP DUMBOLD TRUMP SIDED WITH PUTIN

Isolationist America. No one will want to deal with the USA now. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, and the USA needed to go in a retake the oil ports, the USA didnt want to upset the Arabs, so needed a coalition, so asked NATO and other countries to help, I dont remember NATO sending a bill, or asking USA to sign over mineral rights. I also remember USA talking Ukraine into handing over their nuclear weapons to Russia, in exchange for protection, wow so much for that promise. If the USA is stuck for money, why dont they go back to Iraq, and take back the 80 billion dollars worth of equipment they just left on the tarmac when they ran away in the middle of the night.

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

Trump is also a lying dictator come to terms with that.

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

Fentanyl and homelessness always go together..They use the Fentanyl problems as an excuse to push the tariffs...and they do not care about the homeless problems..which will also increase

THANK YOU CANADA! Our Administration here in the US teaches us to be THANKFUL every minute of the day. SO THANK YOU! Thank You for helping us Americans defeat our Dictator! Thank You also to Mexico and China! Together we can defeat the great evil that is Donald Trump.

As a Marine Corps Veteran, a die hard patriot to the USA, and as a Trump Supporter; I do not support this. We shouldn't Impose tariffs on one of our closest allies. It should also be stated I'm not a fan of Trudeau at all, but I commend him for helping out with the fentanyl situation. Also I don't like how Trump is Siding with Russia. However I do understand his stance on not wanting to continue to send Money to Ukraine to keep the war going on longer, As we have sent them Billions of Dollars in the last three years. However as a US citizen I also have to state the the US has a history of supporting countries that were invaded in the past, which we have done up to this point in Ukraine. Correct me if I'm Wrong, but when have we just stopped supporting the invaded country and sided with the Invading country?

As a Constitutional American I understand what you are having to do for the good of your country. You are blessed to have a government that thinks of its people first and not as expendable. I support everything you are doing because it is best for your good country. I pray it somehow becomes what is also best in knocking sense into the puppet master and his court Jester.\nWe as Americans are going to have to do MORE to protect ourselves and OUR constitution!??

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

I hope Canada's retaliatory tariffs target products from Trump states. Also, listening to Trudeau reminds me how much I miss having an intelligent, articulate POTUS. Four years of The Orange Retard, then four years of Geriatric Genocide Joe, and now four more years of The Orange Retard. Why is it too much to ask that We Americans have an articulate, educated leader who's undiminished by senescence (bonus points for speaking French!)

This is all to weaken N America, and to create a crisis to have an excuse to go into Canada. This is also to align with Putin's agenda.

Also from Germany, but residing in Ireland - This is with no doubt one of the smartest, crystal clear and informative speech I've ever heard in my life ! Respect Mr. Trudeau !!!

This baffling behaviour by Trump and his administration is sinister. He is dismantling the NATO alliance which is the main defensive safeguard against a malevolent Putin regime. He focuses on Ukraine, a victim of naked aggression, as the party which needs to make concessions. No criticism is levelled at the Putin regime. Russia could not imagine behaviour more favourable to them .\nBut furthermore, Trump appears to be diminishing the USA in terms, not only of economic power, but also reputation, international respect, military status and World influence. \nOne wonders whether Trump is deliberately doing this as part of his allegiance to Putin? Is he in fact a Russian asset? He could not be more successful if her were so?

Mr.treadue,ignore this problem also in the name of Freedom of speech as you did always when other countries told you to address their concerns

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American I am going to Carson City, Nevada today to protest and I WILL protest until this comes to an end one way or the other. I also will NOT be buying anything unless it is a necessity. This is what I will be doing to help. Please press like if you will be joining me. ??????

Is Trump committing treason to the US siding with Putin and starting a commercial war against our allies? Might he also side with Putin military? His attitude is very concerning because nobody knows how far he can get ?

This is how one president speaks, who also warns his people, the other only talks about how wonderful everything is and how great he is.

This will only get worat for the USA, wait the EU possibly does something collective also. Australia maybe not, Japan yes.

We voted to be more independent from other countries. We voted to make America a producer again. \nIf Canada and everyone else wants to be butt hurt about it then so be it. It also makes sense to alight yourself with the country that could take out all of the other countries. Putin won’t live forever either. This is about the long game. America first! \nWe don’t need yall and yall don’t need us so you shouldn’t care and flip out over tariffs lmao

The dollar is and has been a plague upon our people, children and all life on the planet. I also believe that Canada is my neighbor and didn't know this was coming.

North Korea has also aligned with Russia but NO ONES TALKING ABOUT THAT \n\nThey’ve been helping Russia fight Ukraine

We KNOW you don't want this!! WE don't want this!! It's going to take a little time, but FRUMP is not long for this fiasco. He has underestimated the resolve of the American people. The Republican party is also distancing itself from this maniacal wanna-be dictator??

Canadá still ❤️ American people!! and we are very sorry that you guys have a president who is bullying.. all the citizens around your country ? as Elon son told Trump he needs to go away and also Elon they are destroying USA specially median class… In my point of view the citizen puts the president and also they can take away since he is abusing of power !!

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

I wonder what this mad man Tramp is doing!\nHe's is destroying not only its economy but also the agreements and partnerships built over decades across the continent and the world.\nSomeone smarte then me must explain me what is the purpose of his actions.\nAmerican people must wake up, fast.\nBecause if he wa able to do this in 40ish days of his term, wonder what he's going to do in the next 4 years to come ...

He needs to do what he can to ruin Trump! But there are also stupid voters that aren't going to change their mind about the idiot? They can suffer too. Since it will hurt red states more. ???

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

I am a US citizen and I am embarrassed to have such a dumb criminal insecure sick buffoon as president. \nI am also ashamed of how in this country, we have an ill-informed racist uneducated naive selfish electorate, that would put a weak person who can't even compose a short sentence correctly in the highest office in the land.

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

As an Australian, part of the commonwealth i not only stand and support Canada ?? but i also stand and support Ukraine ??

America has a terrorist attack in their future with all this , I can feel it, and CSIS has also mentioned this. “No amount of evidence will persuade an idiot” - mark twain

His tariffs are like throwing a pebble at an ocean. He is not tough and he isn't fooling anyone. Also, every tariff he puts on the US is gonna be matched and an additional 25 percent would be added on top. This is a dumb move.

Apparently Donald fooled Justin also smart people don't do dumb things

Dear Trudeau, polite does not equal honest. Some of the most charming people are also the most dangerous.

Don't be fooled by Trudeaus lies.We have done nothing to address the issues. This so-called fentynl czar has kept a really low profile. We've heard nothing action oriented. The 1 percent statistic is also fabricated and misrepresents. Look at the massive drug lab busted in BC that had the potential to kill all of Canada many times over. Trudeau is like the wizard. Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

I am really sorry for Canada. We europeans are also getting ready to respond to USA threaths to our economy and democracy. USA is not longer a respectable country and ally until Trump is in charge.

I support Trump on the minerals deal but I believe the other NATO nations should also compensate the USA since we provide the weaponry necessary for Ukraine to survive. It helps even out the alliance a little.
