America here and I fully stand with Canada on their decision against the US. You get what you asked for, didn’t expect it? Then the US has to deal with it and people continue to suffer.

I salute to the prime minister of Canada for his speech. Trump is a stupid !

I'm 1000% sure that more fentanyl is trafficked into Canada from the USA, than from Canada to the USA.

We can do without you Canada

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Canada will get through this. That is what we do. We will find another way to do things. Canadian's love a challenge.

I thought Trudeau was leaving as priminister of Canada?

Trump has declared war on all of the US allies, but has decided to give his new ally Russia and buddy Putin a pass. Isn’t it clear by now, that Trump and the GOP are clearly Russian assets?; there is no other plausible explanation for what has happened with Mexico, Canada, Europe and of course Ukraine. Trump is obviously working together with the Russians, to create a new World order led by Putin, with Trump as his second in command. The GOP are traitors.

Love to Canada from Sweden

Fear mongering bs. They need a leader in Canada not this MORON!

Funny how Trump starts wars and removes any assistance Americans need from federal government… and here’s Trudeau, defending his country and beefing up federal aid to citizens who will need it. Trump is a Kkkuck. 100% for Canada

I love Canada! They voted a reasonable a true national leader ❤

All of you in the comments siding with Canada...ever consider moving there?

You have chosen for USA to do this to Canada!

Canada, please take me. I'm not that far away in Wisconsin. I'm so ashamed to be called an American at this point.

Canada must understand United States is not the enemy. There is a common enemy for both Canada and the United States which is China. Canada should focus on countering China and not the United States.

Canada the USA didn't do this Trump did this. Sorry! The only thing we can do is well illegal. Trump is a total moron. 4 years can't go fast enough...

Your General said this is isolating Canada. No it isn't. The UK, Europe and Asia are very open to trade. Indeed many have existing deals which can only grow.\n\nI hear that there are a great many frustrated Americans. Americans who don't want this trade war. Unfortunately Your commander in chief is Your voice on the World stage. His choices are effectively Your choices. HE represents your country. It's him we have to deal with, or not, as the case may be.\n\nUntil you can wrestle the House, the Senate and ultimately the Oval, off these walking-disasters The US with edge closer and closer to being a Paraiah state.\n\nGood luck with that. You're going to need it. The World is already making alternative plans wrt defence, trade and political ideology. All without the US... think about that....

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

Is the tarif imposed a breach of Canada right for \nfree exchange between our two countries?

Canada ?? strong and free ?

Canada's Trudeau showing the clown show that is the current US administration what leadership looks like.\nTrumps not being played. He's owned by Putin. Kompromat.

GOD BLESS CANADA, LONG LIVE CANADA. I am a student immigrant who had a choice between US and Canada. I chose Canada, and I have never regretted my choice. The people might not know this but Canada is an amazing country. People have no idea how Canadians have built a fantastic country in some of the toughest conditions. Canadians are some of the most polite, helpful and kind people.

American here supporting Canada and Mexico. I'm embarrassed by what that idiot has done and will continue to do sadly. Please know that not all Americans support this. In fact MOST of us don't, and we are standing with you.

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

nobody in canada cares what this idiot says we need real leadership not a dramatic chump

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

Go Canada ?? ??

Eat it canada ??‍♀️ too long and no more

Why didn’t Canada implement theses protections from Fentanyl before the US initiated Tarrifs

I'm betting that Canada will do what they can to help their people in their businesses while the Trump administration will let the American people and businesses suffer. Maga is all about the cruelty.

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

CANADA WE LOVE AND WE HATE RU TRAMP?

Meanwhile this Canadian limp wtisted turd disarms it's citizens. Canada will be better off as our 51'st state.

Murderer? How many people died for USA to be established, Canada, Australia, Hawaii, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. I can go on and on. Let's be honest with ourselves

As an American, I stand with Canada.

The world respects you Canada

Says the guy that destroyed canada for the last 10 years.

Can you not see it? Donald Grump wants this. His next move is to ask the military to invade Canada and Mexico. And Grump will tell lies again to the American people why he is doing it. And dumb Americans will believe it. \nHe told Zelensky about WWIII? Grump is the one who’s starting it. And why is that? Simple, Grump and Putin are BFF’s that wants to rule the whole world. \nSane Americans should start a revolution and kick Grump and his cronies out of the office and jail them all in Quantico.

We stand with you Canada (UK)

Trump is the great shame of America. As an American citizen I stand with Canada

Love to Canada ?? ❤ support from Nevada, USA to fight against Trump/Musk fascism. ✌️?

US implemented 25% to hold Canada accountable to your promises of halting illegal immigration and fentanyl/drugs crossing the boarders. The two of you must not have had a good meeting!!

Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

I am a Canadian and agree with Trump. Working on my citizenship! Tired of conservatives, liberals and democrats!!\n\nJustin Trudeau will fuck this up, like he told Zelenskyy to not take the deal with Trump!\n\nJT is a traitor to Canada… Oops, I mean New India.

Also if Canada is already dealing with the drug issues why are we doing this tariff with them

Canada's Trudeau is the dictator, not Putin. Funny how all these dicators, Trudeau, Zelensky, US demo party call Trump and Putin dictators...they call everyone exactly what they themselves actually are

To hell with Canada we don't believe you and we will find someone else to do business with
