All trump hears is a begging Trudeau. US launches a trade war and they still consider them friends and allies lol. Sound like a mobster afraid of the Don lol

Mr. Prime Minister - **trump** is the one cozying up to Putin and launching a trade war,... not the U.S. Trump is pushing himself out the door.

The United States did not launch a trade war with you. Donald Trump and his cronies did.

Please rephrase to Donald Trump launched a trade war with Canada. This is his doing and not all people of United States voted for him. We are also a victim of his delusions. God help us all. ??

Trump launch this trade war hoping to make Canada a new US‘s State, so he just treats those losses as the costs, he thinks these costs are just much much cheaper than launching military invasion!

No, the US did not launch a trade war, Donald Trump did, there’s a big difference.

“SO TODAY DONALD TRUMP LAUNCHED A TRADE WAR” We don’t claim him! Besides his supporters!

Trump launched the trade war that very few people in the US wanted, and those who did want it don't understand how the economy works and probably didn't graduate grade school. I'm sorry to our Canadian friends and neighbors. The US is a world embarrassment.

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Can we be clear here that Trump launched a trade war against Canada and NOT the United States?

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

the US didnt launch a trade war you stupid fux.. we have had a trade DEFICIT with Canada and just about every other country for YEARS. Trump wants reciprocal trade. congratulations Mr. Prime Minister you just dug your own grave. Canada cannot survive without the US.

Hey hey hey. The United States didn't launch a trade war. Donald Effing Trump and his Republican lickspittles launched a trade war. Most of us in the U.S. are sick to our stomachs about this attack on our wonderful neighbors to the North. Let's keep the blame squarely where it belongs. Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the list goes on from there.

The United States DID NOT launch a trade war, Donald J. Trump did... Please don't get it confused.

No no no. Not the United States, TRUMP! launched a stupid trade war

Americans did not launch this trade war . Dumb and dumber did this. trump os the worst POTUS in history

Hold on there, cowboy. AMERICA isn't launching a trade war nor supporting a Russian dictator. That's Trump and his backers. Don't lump the rest of us in with that lot.

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

The United States did not launch this trade war, only Trump and his minions.

TRUMP LAUNCHED THE TRADE WAR. as an American I guarantee you that the non maga Americans do not approve of these stupid tariffs against Canada and mexico. I support ?????? all the way

I’m an American and I did Not vote for Trump. I knew he would destroy our country if he was elected. Many people are angry in America that Trump has launched this trade war with our Canadian friends. We love our neighbors. Many Americans do not want this. We are not happy with how things are changing for the worst in our country and in other countries. We are being ruled by an insane, thug/criminal and bully and his rich, puppet buddies. Diplomacy is not in their vocabularies. This is so sad. Stay strong Canada??

Wish he would have said “Today, Trump launched a trade war…” not all Americans stand with Trump. I stand with our Allies.

Donald Trump launched a trade war. Not the United States.

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

Trump launched the trade war. Not the US citizens. I didn’t vote for Trump.

It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

The U.S. didn't launch a trade war. Trump did. He doesn't represent the will of the people. He represents a small slice of our population. Sad.

TRUMP launched this trade war. NOT the American people. But we, true and patriotic Americans, who denounce Trump need our allies to stand firm against Trump - even if it hurts us. The only way for us to be able to take Trump down is to convince his supporters that he is wrong and that his actions are destroying America.
