I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

trump IS NOT A SMART PERSON I DISAGREE THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THE AMERICANS PEOPLE VOTED FOR NOW THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR PUTTING A MAN THAT'S INSANE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. I STAND WITH UKRAINE AND CANADA.

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

Canada is not our friends. Canada have been leeching off American and putting high tariffs on our export products. Trump is simply doing reciprocal tariffs meaning same percentage tariffs Canada is doing. Stop ripping American off Canada!

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

look at him talking about putin while on theother hand he is supporting the genocide of israel and putting journalist reporting on palestine in jail . hypocrisy and stupidity in canada is baffling

Ya buddy trudeau put carbon tax liberal stole 400m in the past 18months. So trudeau can remove that tax and keep tariffs from America. Because they protect us. Trump knows this. No1 in Canada likes liberals ?

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

American liberals love and respect Canada and the EU more than their own country. That's why they have put us in so many one-sided relationships.

You don’t have to tell us the obvious! Our president is a feeble minded fool and he has been a failure his whole life! The republicans have no backbone Musk said he will put his money up in the next election! We want to see Musk have no money! We want to see X taken off of the airwaves! I’m from a state that voted this idiot in to office and I want you to make the red states pay tremendously that will give us the numbers to stop this criminal regime! May god bless Canada and I will only spend my money with products from Canada that America can’t prosper from! There are many with us on this fight that we must win and we shall friends in Canada! Signed old man from Ohio with a brain and a heart!

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.

Justin, I'm sorry! Canada I'm sorry! Please put the screws to America. We are willing to suffer because this is wrong! Fentynal invasion is a lie. Why cut all public funding to help addiction if we truly have a problem? ???

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

As a Canadian, the ONLY positive thing these tariffs have brought is unity between our Canadian party leaders and a greater commitment among citizens to put Canada first in our daily lives. Whether that be through mindful purchasing, supporting small business, creating stronger partnerships with the MANY other nations who remain our friends, or eliminating interprovincial trading barriers, we will face this challenge head-on and will come through this stronger than ever before! #canadafirst #canadaisnotforsale

Can you please put someone up there to speak to Trump with a set of balls! Also Justin, Canada wouldn't be as bad off right now if you had done your job correctly for the last 9 years. We are STILL ALL BLAMING YOU!

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

Go for it Canada. Put the screws to the US

This has nothing to do with fentanyl, he wants to take over Canada. So this is Trump having a pissy fit because he didn’t get his own way. Donnie, put your big boy pants on, and act like a grown up if you can.

Thank you Canada for putting that orange monster in his place , and by the way I'm an American !

Canada iam with you.itook my America flag down i put fly ing you flag ❤

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN! \n\nWe foundation Audit!!\nGreenbelt Audit!\nSNC Lavellin Audit!!\nArrive Can Audit!\nMcKinsey Consultant Audit!\n\nLet’s see why our Canadian dollar is deteriorating and stop sending blame shall we? \n\nAmerica has EVERY right to put their citizens first, can we do the same?

Blame all Trump voters. They put us here. When Trump blatantly said what he was going to do! So we stand with Canada and Non Trump supporters ?

Those tariffs against Canada, Mexico along with the rest of the world has all the hallmarks on what Trump really wants to happen in his project 2025 game plan. American population start to feel the consequences and rise up with protests on the streets, this will then give Trump a false flag to put the military on the streets so he can then crown himself dictator of Russia Mk 2. ?

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

Four more years will pass soon, and God willing, new Administration will put everything back, stay strong, Canada.

I wish Canada would put a list of items out made in Canada,so Americans can help them out, with purchases!❤️????? from your friends in America ?

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book.

The U.S. needs to reduce the trade gap with Canada—plain and simple! We’re done putting our country’s needs second to benefit Canada. Now, let’s talk about the trade imbalance you have with us.

This comment section is brainwashed. Dude literally spent the last decade putting us into debt and ruining a balanced budget. Theres literally only a minority in canada thriving when it used to be an overwhelming majority. Wake up people and vote this facist government into obscurity.

he put his ego first instead of canada as a nation ,i wish he leaves canadian office as early as possible.

This isn't about fentynal.. Trump is just using that as an excuse to go after Canada. No nation should ever put their trust in Trump nor his regime. They are snakes.

Europe stands with Canada!!!! Here too we will be boycotting American products!!! We don't stand with fascists or bullies!!!! Trump sold out America completely to his big idol Putin. We warned you for this insanity and still America chose corruption and put a convicted felon and rapist, racist fraudster and liar in Chief in power in spite of all the red flags and warnings and laws you had to bend. Pure Evil!!!

I hope Trump puts more tariffs on them Canada

US doesn’t hit Canada with 25% tariffs. US hit US-importers with 25% tariffs that they will put on their American prices

This is what you call a nothing burger ? this is all Trudeau's fault why Canada ?? is in this situation, he had 9 years to fix the borders, build the pipe lines making Canada independent and self sufficient instead he has done absolutely nothing but spend our tax dollars carelessly by putting Canada 68 billion dollars in the hole, folks don't be fooled, remember there's always 2 sides to a story but nobody wants to have that conversation, it's easy to point the finger at everybody else but blame the man in mirror.

As a lifelong Conservative, TRUMP is putting the Liberals back in Power here in Canada. Why ? Why ?

By putting large tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China the US government has put up the taxes of the US people by the highest amount since 1993.\nThese tariffs will be paid for by the US people with higher prices and inflation.\nThe US central bank may put interest rates up if it worries about higher inflation.\nWhenever I look at Trump I think of the song Liar Liar Pants on Fire by Chuck Brodsky.\nThe words of the song describe Trump perfectly.

One man thinking about his own country and his own people has Canada begging pleading whining about it...Boo hoo! Lazy Canadian Politicians. Corrupt Crony leaders benefitting their FAMILY FRIENDS and Friends of friends, never bothered to stand Canada on its own 2 feet! TRUDEAU and his Cabinet top that list of scoundrels. Doug Ford, the chubby pillsbury man follows next and CORRUPT PENSION HOGGER JAGMEET SELLOUT SINGH , corrupt Expensive Watch Lover comes next.\nAnd look at them crying now. What a shameful circus these rascals are putting up. So much so as asking TRUMP to be banned from Canada...Thats SELLOUT JAGMEET SINGH's 3rd world politics 101.\n\nPS I am a Canadian...and an embarrassed one at that.

Yo Trump's going to put 100% tears on your ass Canada you better chill playing games

Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!

Dear Canada, many of us are so sorry for this. It's not what we want but idiots put our Democracy in much danger..... you are awesome! No blame for your response it is proper for your country...

Even before now less than 1% of fentanyl came across the Canadian border. Canada has had a trade imbalance with us in our favor. Canada last year had already agreed to beef up border security by $1.3 billion. Canadian troops have fought alongside US troops in several wars. As recently as a few weeks ago Canadian firefighters were helping put out fires in the US. Dumbest tariffs doesn't begin to describe it.

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

Meanwhile TRUMP ON TRUTH SOCIAL -\n\nPlease explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!\n\n????

What about the tariffs that Canada put on the US is that fair on us?
