The American president has hurt Canada, the USA and the World. Hateful behavior.

CANADA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ...USA NEEDS US MORE THAN WE DO. TRUST ME

He’s made Canada weak just like Biden did to USA

We don’t care we stand with president trump and his agenda of America first. Canada invited millions of students across the world and dumped into usa ?? unexpected

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

just a couple of mistakes here and there, USA's biggest ally is México, Canada is a close 2nd. But Canada and Mexico can be great partners work together and just forget the dumbasses in between =)

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

More than 2trillion GDP of Canada vs 27trillion gdp of USA

? It’s amusing how it works—Canada really needs the USA, tough guy.?

Canada and the European states are allies of the USA - not slave-countries.\nTrump - the best man of Putin and China!

TRUMP YOU'RE THE WORST PRESIDENT OF USA ?? YOU'RE DIVIDING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY and other COUNTRIES WITH YOUR IGNORANTS DESICIONS YOU SHOULD WORK TOGETHER SPECIALTY WITH CANADA ?? AND MEXICO ?? BUT YOU'RE LIKE A DICTATOR WITH YOUR IGNORANT DESICIONS

Build a wall between USA and Canada and get Trump to pay for it

CNN is anti Trump, Wall Street Journal is anti Trump, Canadian PM is cozing up with Zelensky who fought with Trump the other day, Canada has been taking USA for a ride on tariffs for so long, which President is trying to correct for which American people have voted him overwhelmingly, today's pain will be tomorrow's gain!

It’s a trade dispute between USA and Canada, where from Russia came into this subject. Anyway USA people job and economy are NOT depending only on Canada, so don’t worry. So your “Friendship” depends on tariffs % ?

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

Trade war tests will. There is no trade war. You’re just realizing you can also tariff. Dude this is awesome. Go Canada. Go USA I wish I knew how to help the world, specifically.

Thanks Canada for standing up. Feeling worried for us here in USA.

Heads Up! Elon Musk's mother was Canadian. Why does the president push for the 51st state? Goldwater ran against Johnson for president and because he was born in Arizona when it was a territory, eventually to become a state, The commentators said Goldwater could become president. So, if the USA were to make Canada the 51st state . . . Elon Musk could become president. Reality Check X.

Well done Canada !!❤❤❤Start blocking usa trade and stop sending them energy, gas, and other basic resources.

When Russia says they will anex Crimea, the whole world went crazy\nWhen USA says they want to anex Canada, the world take it with calm?

LETTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY, THEIR LAST NAME IN CANADA , INTO A HINDU , EUROPEAN or even ASIAN LAST NAME,\nBECAUSE \nCriminals plan on coming into the UNITED States and ROBBING USA BLIND BY COMMITTING USA CLASS X FELONY FRAUD AND THEFT OF ALL THE USA BENEFITS PROGRAMS.\nSTOP LETTING CRIMINALS INTO your COUNTRY and HIRE their IDENTITY because CANADA creates a WHOLE NEW IDENTITY CRIMINALS , so they can come into AMERICA and HIDE their CRIMINAL IDENTITY , CAREER CRIMINALS come into your country and CANADA GIVES CRIMINALS NEW FICTITIOUS IDENTITIES AND FACTITIOUS IDS giving them fictitious identities with fictitious IDs, so they can come into the United States and commit massive { USA class X FEDERAL FELONY FRAUD and THEFT of all the USA benefit programs.\nJUSTIN YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR BECAUSE MOST OF THE CRIMINAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN THE USA COME FROM CANADA THEY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY IN CANADA, CANADA PRODUCES FICTITIOUS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FICTITIOUS IDS FOR MUSLIM TERRORIST

Ha ha. All Canada has to do is proceed to join BRICs . This will panic USA to back down fast.

Proud of Canada and its response to the USA bully tactics. Love Australia

Canada has to PROTECT THEMSELVES AFTER TRUMP/MUSK disclosed themselves to be TRAITORS OF THE USA, PURSUING PUTIN & OPEC NATIONS to make themselves maga-wealthy & HARM USA, RAISE $ PER BARREL & RETURN TO EVENTUAL OIL RATIONING IN USA -HISTORY TAUGHT US

Canada has 30 million people and each state has that population and ur trying to tell me USA doesn’t have more fentynal than Canada and we’re supplying them?.. lmfao

Trudeau isn’t in a place to speak for Canada. He resigned. USA could walk into Canada at anytime and there is nothing Trudeaucan do to stop them.

Trump is making like India vs Pakistan to Canada and USA which is not good

So, since January illegal flow of drugs from Canada to USA dropped 97%. So my question is, why it didn't happen until President Trump acted? Yes, exactly. President Trump is the best.

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!

The shopping hierarchy is:\n\nProduct of Canada\nMade in Canada\nProduct of/Made in Mexico or EU\nProduct of/Made in China\nProduct of/Made in LITERALLY ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAN THE USA\nDo without it\nIf you can’t do without it, find one from a company in a blue state\n\nI’ve almost eliminated ALL American goods from my expenditures except for Sunkist oranges from California\n\nIt’s not the 20th century anymore and America isn’t the only operation in town. Anything anybody needs, they can get those needs filled without the USA.

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.

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

Don't worry, Canada, most of us here in the USA are with you! We do not agree with the orange swine!! All that talk about his popularity vote is bogus! A lie, manufactured! No such truth!

Are there any independent critical thinkers left out there that don't have faith in political sides?but instead live in reality? this guy has absolutely trashed Canada - and all anyone here can do is worship his manipulation? man - the brainwashing is strong stuff indeed... the people of the USA are just too easily directed- sad.

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

And now there’s word that Trump might “meet Canada and Mexico” half way and re evaluate the tarrifs. He’s gonna do this because “he’s a fair guy” and the craziness of it is that it’s a crisis he created. It’s like setting houses on fire and taking credit when you put the fire out. I don’t care what Trump’s move is next, I am done with USA. Can not and will not trust them until Tump is gone.

The drugs and immigrants are going from USA to Canada not from Canada to USA!!

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

I think if the USA doesn't honour the trade agreement than neither does Canada. I say no more intellectual protection for US tech. That will truly hit them where it hurts.

dear USA, we are going to find new customers for our raw goods. We most likely will not go back. You are discounting how many raw goods come from Canada

These tariffs have nothing to do with Fentanyl. Fentanyl is the excuse needed to apply tariffs which otherwise would be illegal. Canada needs to start trading more with other countries. The USA is not a reliable trade partner when one man can completely FK the system.

WE STARTED THE TRADE WAR\nAS OF LAST OCTOBER 31st 2024 CANADA IMPOSED THESE TARIFFS ON THE USA \n\nDAIRY : Milk (270%) Cheese (245%) Butter (290%)\n\nPOULTRY : Chicken (238%)\n\nAGRICULTURAL : Eggs (163%) Barley seed (57.8%) Bovine/Meat (26.5%)\n\nMANUFACTURED : Cars (25%) HVAC (45%) Vacuums (35%) Cable Boxes (35%) TVs (45%)\n\nMETALS : Steel (25%) Aluminum (35%) Copper (45%)\n\nI am Canadian and fact of the matter is that we started this tariff fiasco last year. The USA is done being ripped off.

what has your problems got to do with Russia.......? you should focus on Canada and your work with the US. Remember Trump is on the scene to help USA - not you.

Australia is with you all the way Canada. The USA is dead to us.

USA citizens stands by Canada ?? ~ impeach Trump

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

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 ?? ??❤

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

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.
