This Man must be loving it. Donald J Trump just handed this man another term. A diversion from people's focus on his failures and wokeness, which destroyed Canada. Next election you will be voting a Khalistani PM. And guess what this man will be your next PM again.??????

Maybe Trudeau you should have stood up for Canadians, Military and Border security and technology 8 years ago instead of other things you put money in or sent overseas. Yes you and Premiers are stepping up now and if direct flights were coming in to NS that you wanted 5 years ago we would have another Vancouver prices here.

Bout time yo add another star to the flag

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

I am absolutely embarrassed to be an American. On behalf of the millions of Americans who were mentally weak enough to vote for this steaming pile of a presidential administration, I want to sincerely apologize to the countries in the world who are dedicated to promoting democracy, and decency, and opposing 12-year-old childish bullying, tyranny, and dishonesty. To my fellow Americans who were stupid enough to be dupped by this cesspool sitting in power in the white house, STOP BEING IDIOTS AND PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES before we become a dictatorship with a puppet ruler lead by another dictator!!!!!!!

This clown is about to Go to his masters in LONDON and Canada will become another US state.

Why are Canadian cities overflowing with homeless and drug addicts, crime up, homes/apartment unaffordable? Same in USA....I do not support trump, nor did I vote for him.....but hey, Trudeau destroyed Canada.......society is unraveling. This is simply another example.

Another globalist puppet with a hand up his ass who doesn't mind bankrupting his country along with carney.

Another Joker..

Meanwhile zelensky realized he fucked up and is now begging trump for another chance…where’s that news?

I do not undetstand. Pls explain. How can bying from canada be ”an unfair deal”. USA are free to by from another country.

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS TRUDEAU HAD CHINESE SOLDIERS TRAINING ON CANADIAN SOIL BEFORE COVID. REMEMBER WHEN HE SENT THE U.S. MILITARY TO ITS NORTHERN BORDER \n TRUMP ALSO KNOWS THAT LIKE DEMOCRATS TRUDEAU HAS USED TAX DOLLARS TO BRING IN MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE LIBERAL AND BUY HIS LIBERALS ANOTHER ELECTION. HE ALSO KNOWS TRUDEAU LIBS HAVE BOUGHT AND BRIBED CANADAS FAKE NEWS MEDIA TO ATTACK TRUMP FOR 9 YEARS AND BE LIBERAL PROPAGANDA MACHINES

Over the decades, the dollars only fluctuated a few cents up, or down between Canada's dollar and America's dollar pretty much canada is like another state. To have a trade war with Canada is just stupid. There's no other way to put it stupid

Another problem is Fox News, news mags and all the other right wing propaganda will not air this.

The idea of any of the Five Eyes doing this to another is mental. ?

Another even sadder day for America

Lying Trudeau spewing bs ..carbon tax destroying Canada with another increase in April

Dont forget Canada applies tariffs on a variety of goods imported from the United States, but the specific goods subject to tariffs can vary depending on the trade agreements in place, as well as individual circumstances and trade disputes. Some of the key categories of goods that have historically been subject to tariffs or trade restrictions between the two countries include:\n\t1.\tAgricultural Products:\n\t•\tDairy products: Canada has a system of supply management in place for dairy, poultry, and eggs. As a result, certain U.S. agricultural products, particularly dairy, face higher tariffs when imported into Canada.\n\t•\tPoultry and eggs: Similar to dairy, tariffs are applied to U.S. poultry and eggs under Canada’s supply management system.\n\t•\tBeef and pork: Canada has historically imposed tariffs on U.S. beef and pork, although these are often adjusted or reduced under trade agreements like the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement).\n\t2.\tSteel and Aluminum:\n\t•\tCanada imposed tariffs on certain U.S. steel and aluminum products after the United States imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in 2018 under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. However, in 2019, both countries reached an agreement to remove some tariffs, although certain products may still be subject to tariffs or quotas.\n\t3.\tLumber:\n\t•\tSoftwood lumber is another contentious issue in U.S.-Canada trade. Canada has faced tariffs on its softwood lumber exports to the U.S. for many years, and there have been instances where Canada has applied retaliatory tariffs in response to U.S. actions.\n\t4.\tConsumer Goods and Electronics:\n\t•\tSome consumer goods, like electronics, furniture, and vehicles, may have tariffs or duties imposed depending on the category, though the majority of goods between the U.S. and Canada are traded tariff-free under the USMCA, which replaced NAFTA.\n\t5.\tAlcohol and Tobacco:\n\t•\tCanada applies tariffs and duties on alcohol and tobacco products imported from the U.S., but these are often subject to specific regulations and agreements.

I'm glad Canada amped up their border to STOP ? illegal drugs and immigrants who traffick them.....\nPresident Trump's really going to have to have another meeting with Trudeau.....\nThat's how you keep the peace ✌️

The Canadian government imposed sanctions on Rwanda on something Canadians don't know anything about, and they chose to punish the people of Rwanda for their own benefits in DRC, now that the tables are turning on them just for tariffs they are crying talking to the american people directly as if they care. \nThe hypocrisy of these countries and their politicians is on another level

Never seen a leader or President have a speech for another country to its citizens , You can tell the rats are scared and backed into a corner . Fear mongering American citizens will not help your country . Do your share and do your job and none of this will happen to any American or Canadian citizens . Right now the only ally you have is CNN . The most fear mongering net work on the planet , Which is not worth bragging about . They will be bankrupt soon with all the lawsuits they are losing .

There is something more sinister at play here. There is no way the US can justify these tariffs based on border controls. Surely his strategy has another motive. Are they just trying to crash the markets?? Has Putin asked him to do this?

Lol CNN cucks to trashing trump. We need our nation fixed before worying about another. Biden admin ruined so much.

Today America is the most powerful nation on earth. However, the path America is on may lead to the degradation of that position. America may self isolate herself by alienating allies. If America doesn't want to lead the free world, another power may emerge to take America 's place.

Another moron who thinks can bluff without any cards ?

Terrorist don't affect governments they affect the people that's why Trump blew it and made another fucking stupid mistake the Importer pays a higher price he turns around and just raises the price to the American Consumer people not even knowing really how much they got raised but they usually toss in a little bit extra and then blame it on the government that's how dumb this is

Another socialist standing for war Trudeau and his father ruined Canada

someone will be making a fortune on the stockmarket when tariffs are called off - another way the billionaires are manipulating the system to gain more

I start to think there is something in the water in the USA. How can millions of people be fooled and misled at such a massive scale by that clown in the White House. Another sad day in us history

No one is interested in anything he is saying. The people just want to hear what the people are saying about all of this and not some hand in the money jar ? freak. People like him need to go. He is just another liar for his own benefit. Trump and his merry helpers are putting this right and exposing the trubble makers all over the world and their shitting them selfs so don’t listen too any of his/ there bull sh1t Because we the people don’t need people like this ???✊?

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

Stand Tall Canada - the World is watching you stand against another murderous dictator in waiting.. Canada must broach all avenues of economics.. even those in the southern hemisphere.. Australia is one economy.. l was born in Australia.. and stand with the Canadians... the people of the free world must stand together

Trudeau speaks eloquently and demonstrates integrity - another true Statesman. What a contrast to The Kremlin’s Agent Orange !

I know americans that dont support trump will have to pay for this but its time to BOYCOTT america everyone... unfortunately this is the point that needs to be proven. the world doesnt need another dictator. I fully Support Canada!

5 eyes security is dead. Keep your eyes and ears open USA. God forbid someone is plotting another 9/11 Friends you guys once relied on may be hesitant to stand by you. DJT has proved his government is not to be trusted. As much as th rest of the world needs the USA. USA needs the rest of the world.

Another Beta boy.

I support America, if tou support another country then go there. Bye and not sorry

I like how all these liberal morons stand with another country that doesnt do shit for us exactly why we are in the position we are today

Idiot trump is i dont know why elon didnt stop him from doing this he is playing rite into the liberals hands they need for them to call emergency and hold onto power for another 10 yrs...idiot now he has to deal with trudeau regime

Harris voter here, you gotta do what you gotta do Canada. I don't know if I will make it through this but there are people out there in worse situations with more overtly oppressive governments, so I can't complain too much. The only thing I can do is hope that the breaking point is soon where those of us who don't hold contempt for compassion and intellect rise up and show the government that we have had enough. I have never wished misfortune upon another human being before, but Trump and Vance have blatantly shown that they are legitimately evil human beings with only their own interests in mind. They are not true Americans, because they don't care about America beyond exploiting it to their own benefit.

I am a U.S. citizen, almost 66 years old. For the second time in my life, I am **ashamed** of my President. Trump is causing damage that will take literally DECADES to repair. Yet again, another country's leader shows his sound, prudent, measured, intelligent and **honorable** character - in such stark contrast to ours.

Hey USA, you have substituted one old crazy president to another. Get rid of those old farters and hair yang and reasonable presidents

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

Idk why another prime minister who sucks at his own job trying to tell another countries people something smh. A bull wouldn't listen to their calf.

As an American citizen we stand with our President. You’re a huge part of the border problem and you allow people to drive dump trucks and Semi’s who wreck and spill cargo and then get in another car and disappear.Tackle your problems and protect our border and then we can talk.

And the latest from Trump now is that he is upset about Canada countering with tariffs, calling Trudeau for governor of Canada, another 51st state reference? is that he could increase the tariffs on Canada. Mr Trump, you fool, what goes around comes around.

Shout out to my fellow Americans that thought the the pres could bully another president like he did plumbers and Sheetrock contractors..bc he is “smart”. The other hammer from below , Mexico, will drop soon, too. Hang on. Great again. Just like you rallied for.

@kayingalls6095\n0 seconds ago\nYou just don’t do this to your neighbors. This is not good for either side and how can you put such a divide between us. If you think this is another means of making us the 51 st state it’s not gonna work. You are not God nor a King and we will not bend to your needs.
