I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

Trump being played by Putin and severing our excellent relationship with Canada our good neighbor and harming us in the process wake up America this d not good.

Its a grand spectacle to see him speak. At just about the time other circumstances are turning an unknown corner Canada,yes Canada has now spoken up about something credible and concerning. Canada might as well now that some savior from Europe will emerge from a broken chair and claim to be the broker of peace and prosperity. As for me there is only one savior and HE knows the time and places. And his name is not what youve known it to be. Individual realtionships with HIM are all youve got. Goodluck everyone. Read the fine print.

So the USA is your closest friend. Most people don’t rip off their closest friends. Canada has engineered a beneficial balance of trade against the USA.

Time to move from the us t o canada

It's Disgusting! And Embarrassing! We don't support this! I'm so Sorry Canada ❤?? ❤Michigan

Why does this little potato even get airtime? He's a corrupt globalist puppet for the WEF.\n\nJust look at Trudeau's horrible track record. He had essentially destroyed Canada. Let's not buy into his BS.

Screw you Canada how about we buy American your country needs us far more than we need you and all you had to do was show that you cared about the border.

The greatest and smartest Prime Minister of Canada ❤ Justine Trudeau❤

Stand by Canada \nTrump is the enemy of the Western World.\nTrump is Putin’s puppet

Theres nothing wrong with reciprocal tarrifs . Us charges whats canada charges

So the US didn’t even tell the truth on top of this tariff. Are we surprised? Trump said these previous agreements between Mexico & Canada were unfair to US, like we were getting screwed by these countries.

As long as he will stay in power, Canada will lose the power.

Trump has had zero success on the building development front in Canada...look it up. He was drummed out of Canada. This is part of his Revenge tour. Horrifying.

Go you good thing. We stand with you Canada & Trudeau.

I can totally see Canada as a part of the EU. Love, from Poland.

Standing with Canada! Well done, Mr Trudeau!\n(Ukrainian ?? temporary living in Portugal ??)

All of a sudden. Everyone thinks Trudeau is wonderful after all hes done to Canada. Lol

Canada is like the responsible, clear thinking version of the US.

As an American, Canada I’m so sorry. To the rest of the world please please hear me. Trump supporters are the minority here, most of us are actively fighting against this. We want peace but in no way shape or form should any government fold to this man. Canada, do what you need to do. Please don’t fold either. Make sure this country feels every second of it.

What happened to CNN talking about Canada like they’re the ones being the bad guy?? I feel like I’m watching Fox instead of CNN

The elected American president is a bad sad sick joke! To me the United States are becoming just like Russia. And to be polite, I really don’t like Russia! ❤️ from Sweden to Canada and all our allies!

❤Canada

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

I’m embarrassed for my country. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Please stand fast while we suffer through this absurd and dangerous man.

THIS is LEADERSHIP! Sad that in 6 weeks Americans forgot what that sounds like. BLESS YOU CANADA!!

Shame on you dear Canada you were those who were not only killing my people in Afghanistan Kandahar for USA's sake but also sacrificed your very beautiful Young children in USA's useless war.

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

It HAS happened before. During Trump's first term, he started a trade war with Canada that lasted a year, IIRC.

Stand strong Canada. The good people of the US stand with you.

I thought 10 % tariffs on Mexico and Canada but not. 25% on Mexico, Canada and China all ?

As an American I am impressed by Canada ! They truly have an intelligent grown-up for a president. No name calling just clear honest truths !

Canada has no cards. Canada is simply a little follower of United States of America.

Wait but, doesn't Canada have tariffs on us too?

THE RELATIONSHIP IS BAD NOW THANKS TO CANADA PRIME MINISTER BRUTOU‼️ \nU.S. HAVE A 41 BILLION DEFICIT WITH CANADA ?? GO TRUMP TARIF.\nALERT ? ALL OTHER NEGATIVE COMMENTS AGAINST TRUMP ARE BEEN PAID.\nNOW DEMOCRATS ALL OF THE SUDEN KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMY? WHY BIDEN DIDN’T FIX IT?

It's reciprocal. Did Trudeau not hear this? So now Canada will pay 50% tariff, based on previous 25%.

Well done Canada. Trudeau is a leader. Trump is a Chump

Wow, dude can I move to Canada now?! I want off this hellscape Rollercoaster in the US, where somehow we now have a president that's only out for himself and to enrich himself and his super rich friends lives on the backs and bones of every other American.

Stand with Canada, nothing more than proud to be Canadian ??

Lets just buy/invade Canada already. Then we don't have to do this dumb shit anymore.

canada and mexico showing class and leadership

Canada impose tariffs first. Just remove yours.

USA seems like they are deserting their closest friends and allies,but rest assured us Brits will always stand with Canada.??

I wonder what Canadians think of this? Seems like a bad move by Canada

I'm an American that stands with Canada.

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n\n⁃ Dairy Products:\n⁃ Milk: 270%\n⁃ Cheese: 245%\n⁃ Butter: 298%\n⁃ Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n⁃ Barley: 160%\n⁃ Wheat: 94%\n⁃ Sugar: 265%\n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295%\n⁃ Rice: 150%\n⁃ Vegetables: 100%\n⁃ Fish Products: 100%\n⁃ Lumber: 20%\n⁃ Shoes: 30%\n⁃ Cocoa: 30%\n⁃ Metals: 25%\n⁃ Wool: 30%\n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%\n\nTrumps responsibility as the President of The United States of America is to the American people.

The United States has multiple projects to build new nuclear power plants, including new reactors at existing sites, and new reactor designs. In nearest future US will not buy Canada's power.

Doesn't more fentanyl go into Canada from the US than the other way around?

As an American. We are with you, Canada.

Canada put tariffs on America and now they are upset that we put the exact amount of tariffs on them??? No country is getting any more tariffs than what they already had on America. Sorry but Americans need our money right now, our country is going bankrupt but you don’t care about that, you only care about yourselves. Well Americans will do what we need to do to rescue our country. Get over yourselves. If you had no tariffs on America then you wouldn’t have them on you now.
