America's economy was a juggernaut the day before Trump and his greedy band of thieves took over, and our strength was in our alliances with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Our moral strength was in our unwavering support of Ukraine and opposition to Russia. In barely a month Trump has undermined and destroyed all the trust previous administrations (aside from his own) had built. By trying to rob our allies blind and turn the US into a kleptocracy, Trump is destroying the economy and our standing in the world at record pace. Maybe irreversibly.

Trump is NOT starting a trade war. He is equalizing the playing field. Canada was already imposing a 25% tariff on the US unfairly. Now they are charging 50% tariffs. Not fair at all!

Those border improvements won't be wasted - soon, Canada will have to protect it's border from US refugees.

I stand with Canada. I am just a person living in America. I don’t care about the country or the people living in it! Sorry not sorry!

Total US GDP on exports to Canada and Mexico is 2.7%. We’re not going to feel your tariffs in the USA. But you will feel ours haha.

As an American I agree with Canada. Trump is out of his mind hope we impeach him Fast. Pray for us.

GO FIGHT FOR UKRAINE, THEY NEED THE BODIES.\n Canada imposes Tariffs ALREADY.\n 270% ON EGGS.\n gth canada

Justin Trudeau ruined Canada .Canadians has been suffering for years because of his actions. These tariffs might make it worse

US breaking relations with fascist states such as Canada. Just look at what the Canadian government did to the truck protesters.

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

Trump pissed of Canada, they are like the Labradoodles of allies - who hates a Labradoodle? Oh yeah, putin's baby boy....

CANADA WE THANK YOU ❤❤ From Europe

South African here.. am disgusted and appalled by Trump and what's going on.. fully supporting Canada and Ukraine. praying for resolution

As an American, Canada do what you must, this dictator who thinks he’s unstoppable and most powerful, needs to be tolled NO, if we Americans have to deal with higher cost, let it be so all of these crazy Dump supporters learn he is unfit for presidency.

Much of the Fentanyl moving in the past from Canada came from the US in the first place.

While I am going to financially suffer from this, I want to see our country start new deals with Europe and Asia. Until tRump is gone and ALL of his minions have left office, I don't want to see any deals with the US. \nWe knew Trump wanted to destroy Canada financially. This was NOT about fentynal.\nWe have enough wood, enough oil, and enough resources to establish good relationships around the world. And sustain fellow Canadians.

Has canada not been charging us tariffs for years?

Love from Germany to Canada ❤

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

As italian, I’ve been in Canada many time for business. Lets be honest trudeau it’s good only at speaking. You destroyed Canada with your immigration ideology. Trump is making his business, and don’t worry about usa, their economy will not be affected from the Canadian tariffs

Canada we will survive this!!! We are strong!

This clown should be in jail, not talking for Canadians. You resign Trudeau!!! Leave Canada alone!!!\nCall an election!!!\nEveryone there with him should be in jail not talking for Canadians, they are the cause we’re in this situation!!

KMA trumpet from me, and for Canada

Trudeau failed to mention all the billions Canada owes the United States which caused the tariffs to start with. Trudeau you have stepped on it big time so keep kissing the globalists tail!

This trade war with Canada must end. The only way to do that is for Canada to become our fifty-first state. The sooner you admit that Justin the better.

The clown of Canada, kicked out of his own party. Why is he still speaking l??

If it’s from Canada I’m buying it .

I stand with Canada as a citizen of the USA.

That's right ! Dope comes from the dopes in usa to Canada. Not orher way around. Trump just wants to control it. Like past usa governments who brought in coke and smack to control ethnic minorities it did not work. Those ethnicities had friends in other cultures. Ie( Oliver north, Iran contra affair.

I am from Germany and I admire the Canadians in this. Let me know where to order some stuff from Canada.

Drug traffickers are Senators and Congress men not Canada

Canada is going to get smashed. Good luck

❤❤❤ Canada

As a US citizen, I approve this message. Apologies Canada, and world.

This man Treaudeau is far from a leader for all the people outside of Canada that don’t know, he fucked this entire country up economically. But he ain’t wrong on this speech.

Interesting how Trudeau talks about how he will do whatever he can to make it easier for his people in Canada ha ha ha ha ha no mention of that from Trump!

We don't need Canada

Hi Canada why u only depends on USA? U r big too get more people and build u r count same like USA, what is stopping u?

Maybe the USA should become a new Canadian province. Go Canada!

West Coast US needs to join up with Canada and Europe. Let the Midwest and southern US deal with the mess they voted for.

Canada has become a shithole.

As a German I really hope Canada and Europe can strengthen their relationships.

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

Stop JT. You have no right to speak to the US people. You can't even talk to Canadians who disagree with you. You could have avoided this, but you'd rather see terrorists, fentanyl and sex trafficking continue in Canada.

Canada is nothing but a leach get out of here

F this traitorous thief. Hes Canadas number one sack of trash.

Guys don't trust this clown Trudeau, he himself is a big dictator style person . He allowed all criminals , terrorists, drug cartels to grow exponentially in beautiful country Canada by just turning blind eye . All Americans asked is to stop those criminals but this clown is not willing to . \nCanada needs immediate elections

Thank You Mr Prime Minister, You Saud Exactly what needed to be said at this time, tRump gave Canada, Mexico, China no option but retaliation or comply.. Canada will retaliate as we don't have a Bully that is an Oligarchy Driven Maniac at the helm..\nVote ?? Every Time!!! ??❤✌

Canada has more real MAFIA Activity than the . There is a direct connection with N'drangheta from Calabria, Italy. They work with Mexico, China and Colombia to flood USA with drugs.
