Canada needs to send back all immigrants it has let into the country for the past 10 years.

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

“Make that make sense” is sending me ?

Poland ????? Canada\nWe send our sincere support to Canadians. Only united, we shall stop the bully from bullying others! \nPM Trudeau is fearless, so are Canadian People. Stay strong friends ✊️??

Seeing people actually fall for this guy’s B.S. you can begin to comprehend how the Egyptians worshiped an insect. In light of rabid anti Americanism in Canada, President Trump would be wise to fortify and close the border as a defensive measure against invasion, infiltration, and sabotage. Canada has made it clear they’d rather spend a lot more to ship oil to China’s Communist Dictator Xi Jin Ping in Asia and back than pay a modest 10% tariff and send oil down an already working pipeline to next door America. Contrary to some mega ignorant comments, The U.S.A. is rich in natural resources and can be self sufficient. We just have to resume use of resources that were shut down by the appropriately initialed Barak Obama, Biden-Harris, and deep state bureaucrats in Washington. President Trump can accomplish this with our support. Shop carefully and please do not buy anything from Canada. Leave all Canadian goods to rot on the shelf. You won’t regret not making it to the Miss Hockey Puck festival in balmy Churchill Manitoba either. Other protective measures should be immediate cancellation of all visas and green cards held by Canadians and their deportation from U.S. territory.

The excuses for implementing the tariffs by trump were just as absurd as putin’s excuse for invading Ukraine.\nHonestly I wouldn’t have even bothered to implement the border policy because in trump’s la la land. It wouldn’t matter how much Canada did. \nOnce he’s fabricated a reason for anything. It becomes a truth in his head.\ntrump’s a communist sympathiser ?. Figure that one out?\nNext he’ll be sending arms to russia.

I am Australian and I send all my love and prayers. ???

Let’s see if Trudeau still gonna send Canadian taxpayers money to Ukraine and Israel after this

I like this general coming in saying this isn’t gonna end well well how was sending money to Ukraine going to end any better than not getting a return on our investment you can sit over there and say whatever they want when they’re getting loans to Ukraine, which was a slap in the face to America. You guys don’t get to ride off the cocktails of America anymore. It’s just not gonna happen.

We can see how you guys do at Eurovision this year and then maybe you can join the EU. You can send Celine Dion again. We shouldn't let Canada do this alone.

Canada had a 20% tariff already imposed before trump for a very long time, we just matched it. Now hes upset, and throwing a fit bc we're not going to be sending subsides on top of the tariff. He will not be able to sustain this tantrum. Just this speech alone is so fake and scripted. Hes a puppet.

Soon the entire civilized world will be sending the US. The value of the American dollar and the economy is falling.

Trudeau, you deserve what you are getting! You have allowed your illigal immigrants to enter the USA as well as fentanyl. You have pretended to stop sending YOUR problems to the USA, but it is all a lie. We see it everyday! Little done too late!

Just because you take care of your border doesnt mean you send troops to help with our southern border

The trade war is just the begining. Trump will use the fentanyl crisis and lie to people that Canada does nothing to prevent trafficking this drug. And how Trumpo will want to protect his beloved country? By sending army to the border with Canada. And then? Well maby an intervention on Canadas land? Trump loves Putin, Hitler. And they did the same as decribed above. By the end of 2025 we will have a 3rd world war.

Put tariffs on goods Canada sends to RED states. If the Republican voters start to feel the pinch they miiiight grow a braun cell and realize Trump has never been a friend to the US

If you are strong man mr Trudeau. Go ahead. I have a feeling that you are scared. Just stop sending fentanyl to the us

The people of Hawaii, I think, would love if Hawaii were a province of Canada. Why? Because Canada has the same values as Hawaii's people. Canada is full of people of good quality--people who believe in freedom, opportunity, good neighbors, and a peaceful life in a beautiful environment. Think about it Canada . . . send us a proposal.

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

Sending hate to Canada from Oklahoma.

But Trump administration still sending millions of billions help and aid to Israel?

Well, when one of the worlds famous American billionaire's ( Warren Buffet) TELLS YOU that tariffs are an act of war, perhaps you should listen. Trump is going to send millitary aid to Russia, and ask for Russian aid to annex Canada. USA- your sons and daughters are in danger.

I cannot believe that Trump indicated in his speech that Canada sends the US disgusting and dirty food. REALLY. Canada has health inspections on everything. Trump is a liar and makes things up as he goes.

Sending our troupes in Ukraine \nUneceptable, a other stupid idea from the guy that ruine our economy ... ? budget will balance it selft what a fool

I'm SO VERY SORRY all this is happening! Canada, we send you our love! Right now, our government absolutely sucks! Many of us DO NOT like or support what's going on!

Thank you from America. We don't want Trump either. Perhaps we can send he and Musk to Mars. I hope you give us 50% tariffs, let everyone who voted this charlatan into office pay!

Watch out Trudeau, Donny might send his little boy JD to act tough and lecture you. \n\nVance and Trump are pathetic jokes of men.

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Regardless of your thoughts on Trudeau, that was a very professional and reasonable speech. \nJust two months ago, Canada was sending firefighters, planes, and water to help with the LA fires... I will never understand why Trump chose to bully Canada after decades of them being our closest ally??!!? \n\nThis feels like a black mirror episode. ?

American citizen here: please send help.

Dear Lord in Heaven. Send Trump to Hell soon.

Trump sending American troops and armaments to Russia to help Putin in his wars might soon to happen.\nTrump spearheading a Russian- American alliance is not an impossibility.\nWorld peace is in peril!

Of course on CNN you guys back ukraine and Canada but are you willing to send your children to die for Ukraine I Doubt it

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

Mr Trudeau, take a bow! Sending applause (standing ovation) from Australia. ? Bravo, Sir!

Send tariffs back to Trump as a boomrang, make him hurt, make his suffer. If all the countries targeted do that, Trump is knocked out for ever.

Well this is it, everything will start to become expensive again.. Looks like i'll be maxing out my Zip Pay.. BNPL is a god send in this economy.

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

The States can reject the tariffs if they wish and send it to the Supreme Court.

All this talk about fentanyl. Come on Justin, do the funniest thing ever. Send MAID care packages to every Trump donor. Why hurt your friends in Buffalo when your enemies are so incredibly self destructive?

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

Please President Trump send scud missals into that soft gay country

Sending support to Canada from Australia.

Well done, tariff wars are not the same as diplomacy. Consider this happened in the first DT administration and the US lost those exports contracts to Brazil who gladly took them. DT had to send farmers a bail out and this, well this will likely be worse. Hang in there border states. Well done Canada. Tsk, tsk 'Donald'. US citizens, become 'Indivisible'.

The fentanyl is made in China. The Chinese bring some to Mexico and COMES TO AMERICA IN VEHICLES CROSSING THE BORDER THROUGH LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRANCE. The rest of the fentanyl, the Chinese SEND IT TO AMERICA IN CARGO SHIP THROUGH LEGAL PORTS. So Canada... eh... mmmm... Canada... they... uh... ? Ask Trump ??‍♀️

This resigned Prime Minister jailed and seized bank accounts of Canadian people peacefully protesting draconian COVID policies. Look it up. He cares more about sending billions to Ukraine than helping Canadians. He invited a Ukrainian Nazi and applauded him in the House of Parliament. Good riddance !

Sending love to Canada from Western Australia
