He just threatened Donald Trump and schmoozed in his face that he's aligning with Russia and Putin. Do you really think Canada that it's going to end well for you? I don't think so

???Now the USA is not a reliable country nor a reliable seller, so Trump is destroying his own country. Besides this crazy tax-tariff thing, now the whole world has seen that Trump has removed the military aid to Ukraine... so the whole world has seen that if you buy weapons to the USA or you use them, the USA will extort you or leave you stranded even in dangerous situations. So now NOBODY is going to buy weapons to the USA, and considering that the American economy massively relies on its military industry, this can cause a huge collapse. Other countries and other markets will step up and take the position of the USA in the market and the world, because other countries are reliable, especially those in Europe and Canada, and the USA is not.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

American should wake up and realize that Trump is only for Trump and his rich friends.\nTrump wants to go down in history as one of the greatest presidents. Trump is only worried about Trump, and Trump only ? ? ? ? ? ?

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.

Im from Texas. I have never agreed with the policies of Trump. I'll gladly be on the front lines with Canada.\n\nOur country has not only failed us, but the American people that call themselves American. We have turned into a bigger facist nation than Russia. At least some of them go missing for trying to whistle blow on an international level. Meanwhile, we cry to each other internally as if anyone has the balls to stand up

You go boy!!!! Trump is a piece of shit and ao is everyone who voted for him. Regardless of your ethnicity.

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

Trump wants to get back at America for 2020, so he is going to smash it.

What about the fact the Trump was approached as an operative to the KGB in 1987?? When is this going to be addressed? I mean, we are becoming allies with Russia. It doesn't get crazier then this. I stand with Europe, Canada and Mexico. Trump/Vance/Musk is enemies of the state.

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

And maxico we lost all manufacturing jobs now trump is going after

Go to Trump from uk ??

Oh no maple syrup gonna go from $3 to $4. Someone tell this guy we dont give a shit. Trump is just waiting to do business with your replacement Justin ey

Trump supports won't watch or listen to this, people who hate Trump already know this.. this great speech is going to fall on deaf ears of the Maga Americans.\nCant Americans see Trump is literally making America shit cause he's a comprised Russian agent.

Ummm just an outside the country thought! You guys are really underplaying the putin/trump thing! You're all like.... well, Trump ADHD oompa loompa might be getting played! Seriously you guys are not thinking big enough! You could absolutely guarantee Putin has ? on Trump! Why else has Trump done a 360! Now someone go find out what he has on Trump so the rest of the world can stop watching the worlds slowest car wreck in real time! \n Signing off from the other side of the world ??‍♀️

Trumps gotta go away

You are exactly right Trump would rather help Russia that says Hamas is not a terrorism Russia China and Iran will invade Israel Trump would rather help Russia when Russia Helps Iran and the Terrorism hamas Trump wants to blame other countries like Ukraine saying that they're starting World War 3 it's not them it's Trump that's going to cost that World War 3

Bunch of cry babies the tables are turning... go get em trump!!!!

This is what Putin wants, and trump is going to give it too him

Trump is full of shit. Fentanyl? What else is going on here.

Trump hates the trade deals we have with Canada and Mexico. But wait a second that was his trade deals he made with Canada and Mexico during his first term. He said it was a great deal when he did it! And the stupidest thing is none of these tariffs are going to reduce the fentanyl if anything maybe 1% or 2% less.

Trump's goal is to start an actual war with anyone who'll have it, including our closest neighbors and allies. The reason is that wartime presidents have more power and he doesn't care who stands in his way. He's going to use that power to detain journalists and jail political opponents ahead of the midterms claiming them to be traitors, then he's going to set himself up to run for a third term. If he succeeds, he'll have total control. Democratic leaders will be in jail, journalists will be silenced, and the national guard will forcefully search your home for any second amendments you might have lying around as they deliver our ballots at gunpoint. How do I know? Because that's what tyrants do. The US is in the midst of a political coupe and it's imperative that the situation be viewed from that paradigm. Drop any pretense that this administration is anyone's ally, they're not. They're a rogue administration attempting to seize total control of the US.

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

You all are brainwashed… How easy we forget the forced vaccine mandates, the intrusion of personal bank accounts, suppression of real scientific research, liberty and free speech…should I go on?—And Yes Trump isn’t perfect, but I rather deal with a part-time egotistic than live under psychopaths who force binary dogmas and believe Men can have babies…

Trump has to go!

Keep talking sht we’ll go take all that sht , trump trying to be nice….

I've been saying since Trump said that he's going to put tarrifs on Canada, that's going to hurt the US in the economy and jobs and well here we are..\n\nAnd to think that some people think Trump is doing a great job with all this, is mind boggling.. but I guess they can't see through his lies and stupidity.

Trump thinks he’s going to fix our debt, not a man has been born to fix it. Welcome to financial crisis. Y’all picked him.

Y'all Canada going to put tariffs on USA really y'all still dnt get it right you dumb Canadian Trudeau the reason Trump put a tariffs again let me explain myself it's because of Cartel's for stoping crossing fentanyl from your border if you dnt stop from y'all part of the bargain of letting Cartel's crossing drugs n trafficking from ur country to USA country ok

“There are no winners in a trade war, so we are going to immediately engage in a trade war.” No one even acknowledges Trump’s justification for retaliatory tariffs be it wrong or stupid or whatever. Everyone just acts like he decided to do it out of the blue.

Donald Trump will go down as the worst US-President in the history of the nation. Kids will be analysing in school in the future how it could happen that more than 50% of the voters chose this man over a smart and strong women.

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

Trump n his team has to go

America is better than this moron and he needs to go -- we are no friend of his. Putin is wonderful and strong and so is Donald Trump.

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

I haven't enjoyed much of Trudeau's office, but this he owns. He really laid it down here. It made me proud to be Canadian. He absolutely, kicked ass and I hope he just hammers Trump. Trudeau's level of forthrightness and honesty in this situation is (I think) exactly why people voted for him. It makes me feel like he's going to kick Trump's ass.

This man is no hero. I live in Canada, which under Trudeau’s leadership has become a worse country since he became Prime Minister. It has nothing to do with Trump. It has been going in this direction for years.

Keep talking out of your ass you are not dealing with the Democrats you are going to start something that you cannot finish and anybody who is against America can leave with the immigrants you are going to regret going against Trump good luck buddy

Putin works for the Russian mob and Donald J Trump works for a dictator named Putin who wants to bring America to it's knees now this is a major problem. Donald J Trump has got to go immediately, forcefully and aggressively the individuals that work for the government that we will never know or hear of but make sure that Americans are safe from foreign and domestic terrorist so we may have a peace of mind while we sleep have a job to do godspeed to you.

Our allies we stand with! Trump must go!

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

trump MUST GO

You know it's not really Trump's idea. This is what his elite wealthy puppet masters wants. Go after their businesses.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

Trump is being blackmailed by Putin with the pee pee tapes just look at the flight log dates and times when he returned to the United States and you’ll see the difference Trumps arrogance is more important than the American safety and security ??? go Canada I love you guys and stay strong my friends we will make it through this shit show ???

Trump is boss and Canadians are going to eat our tariffs and love it.

Go for it, Canada! \nThe trade war trump started is stupid, and we the PEOPLE of USA do NOT support this stupid, costly trade war.

I wish I were a Canadian. But then, I have wished that for the last 40 years of my life. Too bad I could never make the point score necessary to emigrate. I am ashamed to live in the US. Trump has to go, by any means.

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!
