He only cares about tariffs trump is actively trying to save the world. If russia takes Ukraine, the whole Europe is in trouble, including Canada. We are literally the only humans in our universe that we know of, and everyone is worried about trump. He fixings something thats so little of our problems. And ps Mr. Canada is no good.

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

Money talks, shit walks. We shall see about Canada and the whole of Europe.

I pray Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia can find ways to work together and strengthen each others economies and other developments.

European here.\nIm boycotting ALL american products.\nOnly buying Canadian or European products.\nMore than ever, Europe and Canada should stand together as the beacons of Democracy for the World ?? ??

Kudos to the Canadiens, the last remaining grown-ups in North America. I am sorry about your neighbour who for all intents and purposes have become a semi-fascist banana republic. Just know that you have friends in Europe.

If Europe, Canada, Japan, misc SE asian countries, etc., get together, they could absolutely take over as the stabilizing force in the world. DJT is doing what he wants - very cynically, he’s happy to ruin the US so he can have control over it. Totally insane. US is a mess, liberals have indulged the crazy left so much that moderates were feeling forced to vote in rebellion- but to ultimately hurt themselves. WTF?! For sure.

Unlike the US, Canada is still a trading nation. As a result, my plan is not simply to buy Canadian, but to avoid buying American. Here's my country of origin preference list: \n1. Canada \n2. Europe/ UK \n3. rest of the world \n4. China \n5. Russia/ North Korea/ USA

As an American, this makes sense. We have always had a deficit with canada and Europe. Trump wants that to end, and America is always stronger on its own. As much as I like our neighbors in Canada, your government is trash and has been trashing your country. You guys need your own donald

Go Canada!!!! we all stand with you well done. So now Tariffs from Canada and China, next will be Europe and Australia will stop all imports from the US Hopefully, Trump will cause a recession on the world

Trudeau is a great man and a great politician ❤. \nWe in Europe need politicians like him ❤.

Im hopeful for a stronger Canada-Europe trade relationship coming from this. Canadians have always been well regarded here, so I welcome a stronger partnership with less hurdles in trade and travel.

A 999% better speech as any of “Donald” ? who talks about peace but fights with all “alliances” ?\nPutin loves to attack innocent people living far from war zones, yeah thats the “good guy”.\nCanada, Mexico and also Europe really harrassing The US, OMG without them US will become third world country.

Trump is dumb but he hires keen employees. What do I mean? He knows exactly what he's doing. I call upon anyone to study the history of 1920's USA, politically AND economically.\nBack then they also created policies that deported millions of Mexicans. Blamed Europe from bringing their worse AND imposed tariffs.\nWhat happened? well the Great Depression did AND also WW2. Inform yourself USA.

I am critic of the PM but on this front I am with him. US president talks about diplomacy with Russia but he doesn't even attempt a diplomacy with his friends? There are deep economic/family and cultural ties between Canada/US/Mexico. The tariffs are not benefitting anyone. \n\nMr PM, Try FTA with Europe, Africa, ASEAN, India and China. Yes China and India.

US will the only loser here , Canada doesn't need US trade but the US needs Canadian resources that can't be replaced by any other Country , this is going to be good for Canada we needed this, free trade with EU and Asia , huge NG contracts with Europe ,our softwood lumber can be gobbled up by Europe and Asia , going to build our own pipe lines and refineries and sell gas and oil at a higher price . 10 yrs from now Canada will be one of the riches Countries in the World !!!

Oh welp, just start trading with Europe ✨ we're pretty cool

Pretty sure Trump will turn it around in 2 weeks time and will say it's Canada that placed the tariffs on US, Mexico, Europe. :) ........ Watch.

Standing with Canada, Ukraine and Europe. Stand up against bullying from dictators. From Singapore.

Trudeau and socialist Europe are locked in with our scum bag Dems and are only coming out of the wood work now because Zelenskyy was a rude little tyrant and got called out for it.

Canada doesnt have much production at home. they will be getting goods from Europe now and other countries paying on the top more then 40% just for logistical purposes . Canadians... everything will come from your own pocket. Think about it.

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

In 1990, a friend had told me that when the WW3 happens, it will be between Russia together with US against Europe and Allies.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

Ill maks it make sense. The usa cannot fight a 2 prong war. Europe needs to focus on Russia while usa focuses on china. It was proven a year ago that if we fought with both. We would run out of ammo in 2 weeks. We are competing with china now. Not Europe not Canada not mexico. China!

To Canada: Europe is waiting to do business with you, with wide open arms.

Who owns Europe? Let's take Europe to the USA.

Great job DONALD. Now, europe hates America, canada/mexico hates America, asia hates America.\nAnd America’s new ally is Russia.\nGreetings from Germany??\nGive us back our cars. And give the French back the Statue of Liberty

Trump stopped culture of loot of usa ....usa convincing russia to isolate china ,europe with terriff was not giving market to usa but in nato made usa to spend entirely.right now china is threat to usa and winning russia is very important .i am indian hindu can see this

Americans will now stop buying Canadian Goods because there is already pressure on groceries, also, products from countries like Australia and Europe will now come flooding into the USA.

So stupid Trump just ended relationships with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and the whole of Europe. Brilliant.

None of this matters. Drumph in taking direction from Vladimir Putin and he, Putin is a Nation disrupter and is working and propagandizing, towards, now get this, the TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION both in the western hemisphere and Europe. This is his goal and he has the full support of The criminal Donald Duck Drumph a spoiled little rich boy who just wants his way.

I am afraid US will invade Canada, so next Europe will come to help Canada to fight Nazi in US.

He doesn’t read from the paper! He knows what he’s saying! Stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe!

The courage that Europe does not have.

La Russie s'empare de l'Ukraine et d'une partie de l'Europe avec la complicité de Trump, lui il va s'emparer du Canada après l'avoir asphyxié économiquement, du Groenland et bien entendu de l'Amérique du Sud ou déjà son ami nazi Musk a financé la campagne du président d'extrême droite nazi Milei! \nEt pour couronner le tout, Trump abandonne les Taïwanais en espérant que les plus grosses entreprises qui fabriques les microprocesseurs s'installerons aux USA en laissant derrière eux une population aux mains des chinois !\nBienvenu dans le monde merveilleux du fascisme et du nazisme capitaliste made in USA et un grand merci à ses sponsors, Tesla, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, des marques et des réseaux sociaux à boycotter donc, car l'argent est bien le nerf de la guerre !!!\nDe France, Slava Ukraini ?? ??❤

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

china, europe, canada and BRICS can do some business together.....

Canada doesn’t even have a MILITARY… bc its neighbors to USA! How can Canada be doing so well with less than cali population but other countries with far more ppl and resources are not? It’s bc USA and Europe

aren't there ANY possible legal ways at all to stop them in their tracks?, english is not my first language and i learnt it late in life, but words like impeachment come to mind, along with criminal offences, felony charges for corruption, espionage and so on. Street protests?, mass complainings to your representatives?... i do not really know what you can do in your country (i'm in europe), but please do something, get your country back!... thanks for reading

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

I could not love this more!!! American, here. Sock it to us!! It's going to take Canada, Mexico, and Europe to force Trump to back down and stop being a b@by @$$ little b!tch!

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.

Canada england should go to europe union

Well done PM TREADAU . Europe has to back up Canada fully. we need to put this nasty sick russian TRUMPET in its place!! Who wud thought one day the UNITED STATES that we all love stands next to communist and dictatorships !!? love from Manchester

Europe with ??

Hope europe learn , dont vote neo nazis

Speaking as an American in the Detroit area, we are sorry this is happening! Contrary to what the Trump administration is saying, the majority of Americans DID NOT vote for him or this utter BS. We are watching in horror. We know Canada, Mexico and Europe are our friends and allies, no matter what spin Trump spews out

Unfortunately, the way it comes across outside the US, especially in Europe, Americans are so much antagonised internally that they look to have permanently lost the ability and desire to help themselves not generate hatred for each other, let alone being able to help someone else. Sadly!

Oh man, 2 months in the seat and he has already become enemies with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, China, Mexico, Greenland and...and allied with Russia. ? - Wait until 4 years has passed. The world will have turned upside down and inside out before this orange checks out. Let's see how happy the Americans will be after a time choosing this maniac. Huge misstake. Huge.
