let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

I like. This man for president of united state of America ??

Why couldn't he just make a good deal with united state then fighting against the united state. \nWhat was the deal trump put on table..before this 25%

now Canada can be the 51 country of the United States

Canada doesn't stand a chance against United States If we wanted to take you over we could. ???? So what it has been high who cares. You have nothing i want.. and you should have thought that before your country made a mockery of our national anthem when Darien lake New York always plays yours and we always stand so get bent cokehead

Trudeau for next president of the United States.

Can you adopt New England? We don’t want to be part of the United States under Trump.

?Trump + JD Joke Vance ?are both Russian Assets (What a Disgrace!!!)… Welcome to the United States of Russia… ???

Wouldn't it be nice if our president would be a president instead of a dictator and hurting the american people and help us grow instead of breaking us down and making it worse for us. He don't want minerals from Canada but he just tried to make a deal with Ukraine for minerals from them, it does not make sense when Canada was one of our best allies for the United States

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Canadians should be afraid. Americians should be very very afraid. America has been bought by Russia. \nWelcome to the United States of Russia. America as we know is no more.

We don’t want this either! It’s the idiot that was elected by the dumbasses that reside in the United States. I’m sorry.

As a EU citizen i welcome Canada to the EU, i know they are considering to Join the United States of Europe, and they have borders with one of our Union States, Denmark with Denmark's province: Greenland, and so they are more than qualified and welcome to join our United States of Europe.\nI know Canada is shifting its trade, it had previously with the USA to EU, and we welcome our new partner in trade aswell, Everything that you previously had from the USA can be now provided by Europe, and with No tarifs at all.\nWelcome Canada to the EU! United we all stand for a FREE world! No to Trump's national socialism, no to putin's dictatorship! they became our enemies!

He's purposely ruining the United States to hand over to Russia. He's doing the bidding for Putin. How are we going to stop him? He needs to be stopped.The american people didn't ask for any of this!!!

Shame on you, CNN! Taking the side of a dictator wanna be when Canada and Mexico is trying to work with our lousy president! Shame on you! Wake up people! Trump is Putin’s puppet. He is selling out the United States for God sake wake up!

In a war between Canada and the United States I would fight for Canada, and I think the majority of Americans would too. What is happening is complete lunacy. I don’t know what to do.

Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.

The United States will fall so long as trump and his croonies are incontrolled

You want to give tariffs to United States but you don't want to accept none that's wrong!

I lived near Canada and they always have been so nice and respectful there . They have shit trade deals that are ripping off the united states - grow a set of balls

Truduea is a lier and the United States has protected Canada and kept them going for years. Tariffs is what they need to straighten them out .

Trudeau is stupid, he doesnot know what Trump wants. Trump want manufacture moves to United States from Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

From Belgium; Now this is a leader worth respecting. \nI hope Donald gets put in his place, whether he stops making enemies out of friends all around the world, instead of doubling down making this worse for everyone. \nOr gets stopped by the american people that stand up against him, united with allies their population worldwide, to hold higher morals then the absolute lack thereof asserted by the current Trump administration.

As an American I support you Canada, Captain Chaos is a Putin loving narcissist that probably cheated to win election, and did not win popular vote, only electral vote at best. Only 1/2 Americans voted and less than 1/2 of them voted for the felon. He is working on changing America to a dictator led government. I pray Americans will be able to unite and stop this stupidity!

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

From Owensboro, Kentucky, United States - I support and laud you, Canada! ??

Fentanyl is made in United States.

Canada is strong and united. \nProud to be Canadian...

Don't say United States

Trump is a mentally deranged idiot he is not friends with anyone but other dictators cuz that's what he wants to be he has said it and people have heard it yet the dumb people of the United States think oh the orange man in office is great.\nHey Canada you got the room for a family at 7:00 with three dogs and some cats because I will gladly become a Canadian citizen I am ashamed to be an American right now and I do not agree with what Trump is doing and yeah help

The President of the United States of America is a TRAITOR. ??

Not the united states. The trump administration is the traitors

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

It took 9 years and on his way out, but Trudeau finally united Canadians. Not happy about tariffs but here we are. Elbows up eh ya hosers

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

The Canadian people are stand up good people. Their leaders on the other hand are the reason for the hardship on Canada. We need nothing from Canada, except Can Am parts. Oh well I’ll trade for a Japanese unit, they have wonder leadership and a great society.

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 ???

magats are an embarrassment to the United Stated

Hold on. Will the Canadian government provide assistance to its citizens during the trade disputes? Im sure, President Trump will offer greater benefits to the United States.

I am truly sorry with all that is happening in America.!!! I love Canada who always stood with the United States and now this is what is happening.!!! I support Canada.!!! Never voted for this government. But now, we are paying the price because of those who put this administration in the White House.!!!???

If you guys want to go to Canada go ahead... Look at their economy and their healthcare and tell me how they are better than the United States in any way!

Trudeau is the man!!,we could only dream of having a leader like him.Reminds me that Canada is just a better version of the United States,they're better than us and much better off than we are....I mean they don't have a bunch of rich,disguisting pigs running the country or a fat orange wannabe dictator who is full of himself....Everything Trudeau had to say here couldn't be more right....

Its so sad that the united state president its a joke.

If only the United States of America had a great leader like \nPresident Trudeau

Yes Fentanyl is a terrible thing. But I know for a fact its the 1st thing they give you in the hospital now a days in Canada for pain not sure about the United States. Obviously in very very small doses but im sure the price us right.

Elon Musk should not be able to cross the border to Canada again and that go's to anyone with an Canadian citizenship who thinks Canada should be the 51 State should give up their Canadian citizenship and move to the United States.\nI'm proud to be Canadian\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMcCuHal3jA\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOaLI4rgLk

Canada and Europe should unite quickly so they don’t get trampled by Trump. Trump will exploit every weakness.
