We all must suffer for the “great orange man “ - what a joke, people are already struggling everyday!

Lets just buy/invade Canada already. Then we don't have to do this dumb shit anymore.

O so scary, we already gave 350 billion to Ukraine we will never see back. How much has Canada given Ukraine? Hmmmmm.. that's what I thought.

Canadians already had tariffs in place and were treating the USA unfair . \nThis Trudeau dude is awful

Canada was already charging the United States terrifs. But the United States wasn't charging Canada terrifs

He is already gone . And his words don't matter at all now. We all are facing all this just because of your pathetic behavior and decisions. Shame on you Tin

Just resign as you said already

? we're already screwed Mazza. Got what the bang america first punk

Now I know how decent Germans felt when the Nazis took over, only in the USA it's MAGA. This is humiliating to watch. And it is over. Trump will never allow another election that's not rigged. Trump controls ALL the enforcement agencies in the US government, he's put traitorous dirtbags in charge of all of them, and he's purged or is purging anyone who opposes him. It's already over. IF the Democrats win the next mid-terms, they will be POWERLESS to do anything. The USA is now under control of Putin/MAGA.

Stay Strong Canada We are trapped here in the USA this is not America anymore American on truly support what you have to do... as far as the jobs he's already laying people off all over the place he's taken away or Healthcare he's taken away or Freedom he's taken away a financial Social Security and Medicare soon

I’m sure trump already struck a deal with Putin on a trade deal.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

All Canada had to do was secure their border, implement harsher penalties on drug traffickers, and reduce the tariffs they already impose on the US. Dont let them play victim

People acting like Canada doesnt have tariff on the US already.

From an assumption that these and future tariffs will positively harm the US economy, just where does Trump go when the shit hits the fan (as it pretty much already has done)? How does he row back from the chaos he is causing and has caused. He doesn't retreat easily. I suspect that he will sack key members of his cabinet, effectively blaming them for this shift show, to try to save face. If the GOP ever grew a pair I can see impeachment in the works on the grounds of real and present harm to the US.

What about all the tarriffs we are already paying TO Canada???

this puppet should be kicked out already...

Canada put tariffs on America and now they are upset that we put the exact amount of tariffs on them??? No country is getting any more tariffs than what they already had on America. Sorry but Americans need our money right now, our country is going bankrupt but you don’t care about that, you only care about yourselves. Well Americans will do what we need to do to rescue our country. Get over yourselves. If you had no tariffs on America then you wouldn’t have them on you now.

If it isn't already clear, the fox is in charge of the hen house! All the chickens and eggs are his, along with the hen house itself. This fox has zero interest in anything outside of that hen house. The old fox doesn't care if the world burns down around his house because he is a psychopath with zero empathy. This old fox makes Hitler look like a good guy. And dork MAGA, well he's even worse, cos he wants to make the whole world his hen house.

We already Pay tarrifs to canada!!!!!

I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that Canada already had tariffs against the United States and now that the United States is finally retaliating to make the playing field even everybody wants to whine and complain

Not a bottle of Jack Daniels to be found on the shelves already , you did this Donald !

Everything trump touches, he corrupts, then bankrupts. This is why it all makes sense and this is why it was all so predictable. Republican voters, go talk to your leaders. You already have them hiding from you, they won’t change until you make them fear your wrath more than Trump’s.

Trudeau already punishes the USA with unfair trade practices. Now that we exercise that right to protect our country, Trudeau lies with the great skill of a superb lying Trudeau.

Didn’t this guy resign already

Do what you gotta do, we are embarrassed and humiliated on the world stage already. Just bear in mind he won't be in the White House forever.. we just gotta survive the next 3 and half years.... yikes.

As long as you don't take Americans Truckers bank accounts you imbicile... Go away..we thought you resigned already

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

As a dark side note; the Ukraine war was the best advertisement for US weapons systems, it was.... but now no one trusts the USA anymore for strategic inventory because of Trump.. down quite a bit already.

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

Markets are back up so the tariffs have already been priced in.

Who is this guy? I thought he already got voted out of Canadan office

Let's see, make peace at reasonable cost with a man who's war with Ukraine showed the world that they cannot last in war with US on a military vs military bases; and the only option against the US is a nuclear, while Zelenskyy want's to use US as a deterrent against Putin, all while asking the US for billions. On the other hand, Canada, Mexico and Panama are being over ran by chinese businesses. People think this is against Canadians, Mexicans and Panamanians, but these tariffs are against chinese who are manufacturing in these countries and bypassing tariffs already in place by the US. The chinese are manufacturing in Canada and Mexico and placing (made in Canada/Mexico) and shipping those items to the US, while Canada and Mexico do nothing.

I hope EU will be also that smart and strong when Trump will set the tariffs here. I mean with words and actions, like in this polite but also strong and honest speech. We are with you and also Mexico and I hope we will become closer allies than we already are! We need each other in this hard times against russia and it seems also against trump.

And why is he just now showing his face??!!! He waits until today to show his face! You should have thought about this last week Trump already gave u too many chances!!!! We will have American made everything so keep your crap in your country. U need is more than we do! And Trump would say the same thing to you!! ??

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

From UK. 95% of people I know stand with Canada and expect our own government to do as much as they can to help. Many individuals are already refusing to buy US goods and services and have cancelled holidays to the USA. No more Florida, Las Vegas or even California.

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

Im not saying Trumps a Russian asset...but if someone were to be one...theyd use his playbook. Pulling out of Ukraine aid, voting with Russia interest in NATO, trade wars with our closest allies....Putin..release the pee pee tapes so we can go back to normal already.

Cry cry cry oh Canada....especially you The master Embezzler Trudeau...I thought you were done, leave already...sick of your voice & stupid elitist smirk

Trump doesn't care about US jobs. He and the people who surround him are independently wealthy. They have already, in a few weeks, eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs which support the running of the United States. Vital services, including VA hospitals, have been reduced. \nI support Canada, as a US citizen, against this US illogical behavior.

The tariffs are already high in Canada!! Everything I ship there is taxed 44%

You know… I couldn’t really afford to buy food and survive before the tariffs anyways. That’s why I’m getting sicker and not better. Seniors and disabled Canadians couldn’t survive on $400 or less a month, with regular pricing. Tariffs are only going to make more apparent what was already there, and give politicians a scapegoat, now that they’re forced to pay attention to poverty. Kind of like how Covid became the scapegoat for negligent and non existent health care.

Fortunately, my grandparents who lived through the second war have already died \n.. at least avoided the pain and madness of the USA Nazis

It’s the “make that make sense” for me. We’re all trying to figure it out ?. Trump already told everyone that these are “concepts of concepts”…what do people expect? He said what he said, and he was elected by a large margin ?. It is what it is. What are the solutions? I’m curious to hear the legal solutions so that we can all understand what is happening with these egg prices ?

Justin, I thought you already resigned? Why you still speaking? But anyway, good luck to you. What Pres Trump request is not a rocket science. Well, you tariffs USA ?? as well, we just reciprocate the deal.

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

Step down already

I thought he was gone already.
