It’s pretty cut and dry stop the fentanyl from traveling through your country, it’s pretty simple. Add funding to your customs department and the tariffs will stop. Trudeau why are you talking didn’t you resign?

Maybe if Trudeau didn’t assist illegals (and fentanyl) flowing into our country we wouldn’t put tariffs on Canada. MAGA

Maybe just stop the fentanyl?

1% of fentanyl is CAUGHT at the Canada border… Canada DOESNT inspect shipping containers from China

Canadian here, Trump knows our common border is not a Fentanyl highway. He is deliberately destroying our economies and needs to be held accountable for this. He also needs to be accountable for his ongoing bromance with Putin as disgusting as that sounds. Man is a psycho.

Where were you on fentanyl crisis before January? You’ve destroyed this country!

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

How about most Americans back President Trump if you guys don’t care about the fentanyl killing our people that’s on you but we do in whatever it takes to stop that we’re going to do

I can GUARANTEE that MAGA will go for petty ad hominem attacks, and lies. \n\nLess than ONE PERCENT OF FENTANYL IN THE US COMES FROM CANADA. \n\nLess than 1%. \n\nIt’s YOUR country that’s wrecked. Take some responsibility.

The opipid and fentanyl plague in US is not fault of Canada or Mexico, it is fault of the shitty health care system inUS, and hreed of the wealthy. . So to fight it the IS needs to make thongs right within and not bully neighbours. Of people don't do drugs because they have jobs, hope for future and decent health care...

Willing to bet it is the US government flooding in fentanyl.

“Wacking friends not adversaries” ? \nTotally dumb. Defies logic. Zero to do with fentanyl. Megalomaniac dictator.

Sounds like a drug war, we have seen how that works. The only reason fet is around is because they don't want to get rid of their own legal fentanyl

Dumb Drumpf! So obsessed with fentanyl as an excuse for imposing tariffs on Canada -then tell me why did he release the America's kingpin from jail after serving less than 10 years after being handed down a sentence of 80 years! Max Butler was a master at drug dealings of any kind you could imagine making 1.2 billion dollars including 4-5 murders. This was cyber crime in the dark web used as a tool to commit these crimes which had eluded authorities. How many other people had died because of him. Now he's free!

Give that 1.3 billion dollar fentanyl border foolishness back to the Canadian people.

Trump thinks he can base his entire history on stopping 100% of fentanyl coming into America. Ask Reagan and Bush how well that worked with cocaine and heroine. ???

What has this got to do with putin tho. Did he allow Fentanyl to enter the United States thru Cananda? No Canada did. Is he the one not doing enough to stop Fentanyl entering the united states? no Canada did. Maybe if Trudeau could just use the effort he is using to oppose America right now to eliminate Fentanyl from Canada. it would resolve the problem.

How about Americans stop using fentanyl in the first place?

The gravy train is done. But Justin thinks he is going to dazzle us with talk of fentanyl.

Fentanyl drug is just an excuse. Trump wants money and minerals that's all

Even if it was about fentanyl, how would they know or prove that tariffs worked to curb its supply? It can’t be done. So are they going to pretend it helped to make Trump look good? Or is this truly what it appears to be. Putin successfully dividing and conquering. Scary af times.

As an American, I am so Proud of President Trump! If my neighbors in Canada had done what was right and stopped the flow of fentanyl from coming into Canada and flowing into my country, little Justin wouldn’t be crying right now in front of a camera. Hey Justin, how many of your politicians were paid off to allow fentanyl to continue flowing? None, you say? So it was just incompetence then? I don’t think that you care because you are on your way OUT! I hope my Canadian friends do better!

I encourage consideration of the fact that demand for fentanyl in the US is high, hence its movement into the country. What efforts have the US government made to dampen this seemingly insatiable demand?

Fact check. More fentanyl enters Canada from the USA than the other way around. So maybe the USA needs to work harder at stopping it, not Canada. But then Musk is firing everyone who would do that.

Trudeau was supposed to secure the border of fentanyl trafficking he did not do this \nIt's his fault if we get tariffs

Trump wants to put these tariffs on so his rich US friends can buy the Canadian businesses for pennies on the dollar and then remove the tariffs and they become even richer! that's all it is. Its nothing to do with fentanyl. Its all money for trump and business.

All these tariffs are related to fentanyl right ? ???

Why is CNN parroting the Trump lies about fentanyl and migrants coming in from Canada when this is a lie from the Trump administration and his idiotic cabinet????????

You follow the money trail of China and Canadian dealings ,an investigative journalist did and found precursor supplies to make fentanyl heavily coming into Canada from China, being assembled in Canada, then shipped to mexico drug cartels from Canada, then entering US across mexican US border....so how is Canada not to blame when RCMP know of drug labs in Canada and turn blind eye as do the politicians, and meanwhile China launders the drug money through real estate and casinos. No one wants to address the elephant in the room. Life is easier while Blind, till it isn't!

And all he has to do is close the fentanyl factory and mind his borders for people crossing into the state. Why won’t he do that?

This has nothing to do with fentanyl and everything to do with Trump stealing your country.

All I hear is Donald Trump complaining about the illegal drugs fentanyl entering the United States how about the illegal guns enter in Canada from the United States

Trump is a bitch don’t have the balls to go after China for the drugs there are the ones shipping the shit to Mexico to make fentanyl but go after the weak ones instead tells you a lot about a person don’t get me wrong I’m all for trump but he fucked this one up grow a pair of balls and go after Mexico and China he just fucked the the United States big times with this bullshit move

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

It’s not about fentanyl, or abortion, it’s about control!

Hello Trudeau, We all know that Canadian government knew about fentanyl but was letting it flown into the US.

Canada, I stand with you as an American. This is not about fentanyl. Fentanyl is just Trumps excuse to crash the economy and cause chaos.

If it wasnt for Trump you wouldnt have taken action to stop the fentanyl. WE HAVE A STRONG PRESIDENT! You should have been securing the border in the first place not wait for the motivation from our President!

I agree, this isn't about Fentanyl. I'm starting to think it's more about putting such a wedge between the U.S. and Canada that Trump will feel emboldened to do whatever it takes to take over Canada, making it the 51st state, after all. I know that sounds ridiculous, but tell me when he truly HASN'T been ridiculous!

Not so pity about the Fentanyl Canada is sending to the USA and killing millions. Now you get what you deserve and be quiet or else.. fix the border canac

This is all about fentanyl?! Really?! Just that?! I'm not buying it. It just seems like such a random thing. Then, why not just make it about gummy bears?

What a joke why is he still involved in politics. We need an entity to crackdown on fentanyl, homeless, and migrants to stop tariffs and being cooperate trade. Not spend more money towards more deaths in Ukraine.

A Trudeau, how come?\n You waited till Trump got in office to act on fentanyl and migrants flooding in usa you don't care. About our country.

Not about fentanyl? Follow the money…

A drop in fentanyl 97% from December to January that’s telling I’m sure that January would’ve been the same fentanyl crossing if Trump wasn’t president

Liar, liar, liar...IF YOU ARE OUR FRIEND, CLOSE THE BORDER, STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FROM CANADA TO AMERICA, AND STOP THE TRAFFIC OF FENTANYL FROM CANADA TO AMERICA. YOU ARE NOT ACTING AS OUR FRIEND.

Fentanyl was around in 2005 killed a best friend of mine but nothing like this someone has tried to flood us and kill us. They been using drugs destroy us forever ?

They aren’t “opponents” of Trump though… they are his “good friends”. He doesn’t want the allies America has always has. He wants Putin, he wants North Korea. Because they are the men he looks up to. He loves ego driven dictators. Because he is one. Also… this isn’t about fentanyl… that’s just the excuse he’s using. He wants to weaken relationships with allies. That’s obvious. He wants to appease Putin.

Justin Trudeau, I am a Canadian I want 0% fentanyl

It has nothing to do with curbing fentanyl smuggling nor increasing domestic manufacturing. It is strictly Trump scheming to gouge even more money from the consumers and laundered that into the pockets of himself and his friends. Nothing more. He knows all of the costs will only get passed onto the average consumers.
