Trump don't care He don't care about that. That's just the Trojan-horse. So you don't pay attention of what he's doing. He's just hurting, he's gonna hurt. The Americans first and definitely never going to get Canada. Because if we gotta do World War 3. Come on, we'll play the game. We'll put our cards on the table. Trump

Why don't people know that Canada already has tariffs placed on our goods long before Trump....look it up... their tariffs are and were much higher....to the point were they benefited much more than the US did

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

CANADA CHARGES THE US 10-300% TARIFFS. WAKE UP PEOPLE

Another embarrassed and enraged American here that stands with you Canada!

Respect to Canada ? stand up to Donald. PM Trudeau that is a 5☆ speech and resolution. Barbados ?? salutes you ♧

It is not Americans it is Trump and Putin's minions ?. As an American I am embarrassed and stand with Canada ??

Oh well, I guess maple syrup will be more expensive now until Canada becomes the 51st state.

Putin despises Canada. Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Canada supports Ukraine. Trump works for Putin. Buckle up USA! You were warned.

Ya!!! Go Canada!!!!!

Our president speaks in behalf of Americans! Good bye Canada & good bye Mexico adiós ?

Cancelling my trip to San Francisco to support Canada! We will survive as Canadians and wither the storm!

Italian here, 100% support to Canada. Trump, Vance and their cult are just fascist trash, and we have the duty to stand against them as much as we possibly can.

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

Did Canada assess how much illegal drugs come into their country from their southern border? My guess would be that it's more than what flows down

CANADA FIRST! The world will support your country... ??

In Canada, everyone except for Torontonians think he is a virtue signalling idiot

Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

Trump is KGV no longer an Allied to Canada

Mexico and U.S going to conquer canada and take the land

Way to go Canada. ?

The bastard son of Fidel Castro rules Canada.

A rough road ahead...I support Canada and in 2 years we can dump drump/republicans. Honestly republicans have forsaken our country

I would like for trump to impose tariffs on everyone else in the world except for The US Canada and Mexico

Good luck Canada

USA!!! Buy American. Canada has been taking advantage of the US. We need to make America better!!! Having a better economy means we buy American and stop supporting foreign nations.

Stay strong Canada. Australia overwhelmingly supports you, Europe and Ukraine against the madness coming from the white house

We will never go to Wat with Canada ever!!!!

Bravo for Canada and best wishes! Give Trump and his surrogates hell to save our international economic security and friendship!

If canada thinks they can keep up on technology without america, have at it.

How’s your CARBON TAX, governor Trudeau? What is Trudeau so against tariffs, isn’t it America just want an equal tariffs that Canada also imposed on USA?! Trudeau. should be talking more againsts his own CARBON TAX. Wake up fellow Canadians!! This guy is sending $$$ to useless Ukraine war. Wake up!!!

Trump wont back down, canada has been screwing us for awhile, its our turn. However i do feel for the canadian people.

Says the guy that destroyed Canada

if it is in canadas case. how about china. its the same story. tariff will hurt usa

We used to say, we love Canada almost as much as we love our USA. It has become a backwards statement.

I made it a point to buy Canadian Whiskey today in support of Canada and will continue to do so.

As a American.. I don't care about Canada.. they are going down first when the tarrifs start emptying their socialist economy. Bye bye maple syrup!!?? Wahhh!

As an American I am appalled by the actions of my government. I stand with you Canada, our great friend and ally. I did not vote for and do not stan with the fascist authoritarian clown running our country into the ground.

I have an idea-instead of Canada becoming the 51st state ( which is such a repulsive idea) Can the US become a province instead? \nWe need a leader like Justin Trudeau! ??

50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

All those asked to be Americans and supporting Ukraine in endless war, why don't you all move to Canada or go fight for Ukraine. If you're not ready, just shut up with your bs, because all you do is talk and take no action.

FUCK YOU… pay the tariff… I like how they call tariffs a TRADE WAR… we don’t need Canada California has more ppl than Canada!

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

Donald Trump has a dream of going to war with Canada and Mexico to eventually take over their territory…typical NAZI 1939 mentality????

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Trudeau is a raging idiot. Canada wouldn’t be in this position if he was doing his job and followed his obligations. He’s talking tough, looking like he cares for Canada after he has ruined our once great country try for the last 9 years.

Yup. The USA needs goods from Canada more than Canada needs goods from the USA .This will cripple Red States ?

Canada has been taking advantage of our hospitality for a long time Elon musk saved us more in the last month then we will lose from them good riddance Trudeau

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.
