And it wouldn't occur to anybody in the US to ask themselves WHY they stimulate this enormous Fentanyl trafficking and consumption? I mean let's get this straight - if they wouldn't consume Fentanyl like sweets there would not be a problem. So the problem is the US addiction rate and btw it's not the job of the rest of the world to f*cking to watch over US citizens like they are kids. Grow the fck up and deal with your problems instead of blaming others.

“Friend” by taking billions from us, more like fake friends who use you. \n“Friends with Russia” yea you can’t make a peace deal by insulting their leader, where’s the common sense?

When speaking to Trump about their previous work together, Trudeau should have characterized the deals they've made, the jobs and prosperity they created, and the resulting rise in stock markets as Donald Trump's LEGACY from his first term, then ask why Trump was so eager to flush all that good away. \n\nPeople will remember, Donald. Voters will remember.

Trump wants Canada's natural resources. He is going to, sooner or later, invade Cananda. He's made a deal with Russia and China to takeover the world. Canadians and the world need to prepare for war. Trump is the antichrist.

Not directoy to trump, hes not as brave as Zelensky.\n\nWhen he was directly with trump the best he could do is laugh nervously.\n\nFurthermore, Zelensky just said he would sign the minerals deal, so the UK promising boots on the ground and planes in rhe air is the most murderous, greediest, most evil thing I've heard all week. These bullets could have stopped by now if people hadn't egged Zelensky on.

The real question is when is this guy gonna get replaced? Lol \n\nI realize this place is a massive echo chamber, but this response is a dumb one. He needs to be on the phone trying to make a deal, not putting on a show.

Bro he is not doing anything to me but is speaking up for our tax dollars and bad deals where your country is profiting off of me and others alike. trudeau and zalenski get in front of the cameras and start gas lighting with word salad filled with stats. From the things you should be doing to what your are doing against us it seems like you think you are doing us favors not partnering with me and my country. Keep it 100 %

We have no Govt. Trump is dealing with a loser that has already resigned. We have had no GOVT since early December in Canada, because Trudeau put the Liberals before Canadians. Majority of our country doesnt want that fucking loser leading us in this mess, his words are WORTHLESS.

Lie lie lie don't be stupid and make a deal !!!

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

I wonder what happened with Donald Trump. It's like he made a deal with Satan that he shud make lives miserable during his second term as president

Make a deal !!! idiot !!! Americans pay for your free heath care !!! How much money have you been getting from Americans ??? We the people will not do it any more !!! You got nothing we need !!! Wait for tolls for using our high \nWays !!! So keep talking smack !!! No welfare for Canada !!!

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.

Here's an idea.. Tariffs are one thing, but what if we dropped Tariffs on Chinese electric cars! Gave preferred trading deals with everyone not USA and not Russian/Putin aligned. Carrots and Sticks..

15 26. 30 better direct cut , say no more empty deal block usa

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

The Art Of the Deal = Blackmail, Graft & Corruption.

No point deal with USA , if craziness USA continue better direct cut empty business with shift direction 360 degree shift to other nations

Dear PM Trudeau. We Americans understand how and why you are doing what you are doing due to the stupid decisions of our dictator musk/trump. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the EU. God bless all of us as we deal with the aftermath of trump/musks BS decisions.

Trump is acting destructive everywhere, where he engages. He is destroying his country because the prices in USA will go up quickly and long lasting and their stocks will fall dramatically. Inflation is USA will soar and get out of control. His policies are firing back on his own economy.\n\nCanada will have little ore none impact from these tarrifs, they will overcome this initial shock quickly and recover. They will find better partners and other ways to trade. But USA won't find anybody any more who is willing to deal with him, everybody will avoid engaging with his administration, because they are acting ruthless. Trump isn't considering the ends of his decisions and he obviously doesn't care because he is an irresponsible person without a concience. He won't be able to do harm to other countries than to his own, he only destroys USA, because they elected him and they are following him on his way so far. The opposition in USA will become louder and much more influential and Trump will lose more and more companions in his own party.

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!

All you unhappy Americans that speak about democracy seem to be unhappy what the American people voted for. They voted for change, so deal with it for the next 4 years, the Democratic Party lost the election, and tell the democratic party to change their focus from transgender restroom among other liberal views.

Canada will fold with in a month or two. Canada is sucking american from trade deals of decades. Canada is a triad on dairies they can sell their milk,butter,etc in the United state but we cant sell our dairy with out tariff implemented by the canada government. Look it up.

If you know about Donald and his character it’s not surprising. Ignorant voters put him in office, now deal with it. Biden was bad? Donald is worse! MAGA would vote for anything because they have no clue about government and economy. They think a blonde imbecile will be the answer to everything. Putin is the real boss not Donald.

Why is everyone but the US so deadset on letting WW3 develop? Relations and deals are the only choice we have to avoid millions of young men dying or even worse, nuclear war.

Maybe it will come to a Russia, Ukraine deal between Canada and the US,people will suffer, die! It's all part of the real plan ! One world order

No no. That's not part of the deal! We keep commi women..dont pull that bs on me.

American here. It's obvious Trump is a traitor and a Russian agent who is following orders from Putin to dismantle the US government, and destabilize/destroy all Western alliances. It shouldn't be a surprise: Trump has had dealings with Russian oligarchs for the past 40 years. Trump is a clear and present danger to the US, the West, and the world. He will probably be the cause of World War 3 since he has put the US on the side of Russia - which destabilizes the entire world order.

Oh please you don't care about your country Steph down and let a real leader deal with this

Sir, are you mad or selling the DEAL.. OIL OIL OIL.... Make it make sense.

Trump is a Russian agent. He has made an agreement with Putin to supply USA instead of Canada. He has stopped aid to Ukraine so putin can take Ukraine and split the rare minerals from Ukraine with USA. That’s why he deliberately stuffed up the deal with Zelenskyy .

So Canada agree to spend over one billion and still get slapped to the face with tariffs.\nYou Think Ukraine signed the peace deal with Russia and expect the war to go away?

Temussolini is attacking the adversaries of Putin, even if they are friends of the United States. But Republicans won't deal with the traitor in their midst.

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!

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

And Trump thinks we should not fight back. There is no deal to be had because Trump keeps lying and doesn't honor his deals. Just like Putin...

Well done deal!!! Let’s see how it works!!!

I’m sorry Canada. I am an immigrant grew up in the US since 1980s that your country have to deal with MORONTrump.

The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

This guy is a woke joke!! Canada has been riding the coat tails of the USA for way too long. Time's up jack wipe. Canada needs us much more than we need the. Ariculate? Someone said? Makes sense? Another one said? Take the deal and win. Otherwise you're throwing the Canadian people under the bus.

An American here. Remember that his approval rating is in the low 30s.\n\nMost of us are with you, Canada. It's going get rough but stand tall and remain brave while we deal with this wannabe dictator. \n\n#FtrumpandFhispuppetmasterPutin

18:00 I am sure we’ll know soon enough what he wants. There must be some resource deal, or military deal they are after.

What a friendly speech. He didn't even mention the fact that Donald Trump called the deal with Canada the best ever and so much better than NAFTA while he now calls it terrible. I feel for Americans, but you voted for the creep who is president right now. Sadly, you got what you wanted.

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

It is quite apparent that bluffs and bullying are not good approaches in dealing with our close allies. We have put the United States in a very shameful standing around the world. I just don't know what is exactly we are doing. Our economy is showing decline and we are losing our friends. So what is the expected end game here?

We only get eight or 9% natural gas from Canada. It’s not a big deal maple syrup ketchup come on.

Canada is dealing with an American mad dog. Americans are dealing with an American mad dog in White House too.

Good for you Canada!! No one should deal with a bully!! Trump has hurt our government can’t anyone see this!!!!!!!!

I like the way Trudeau addressed this moron directly!!! This is how you deal with a bully!!

47 is transactional. On every front. We see what appears irrational, nonsensical, maybe even dumb. The question is, what deal has he already made for which he will be rewarded? The consequences 47’s actions spell the tearing down the status quo and the power of democracies around the globe. These things seem to be 47’s goal, not just some unfortunate consequence.
