Aww mannnn! I wish WE had a President that was articulate, clear and presidential... Canada gets everything!!! (throws tantrum)

Trump has been right about EVERYTHING! BEST PREZ EVER! MAGA

It makes zero sense. I can't even. What country am I actually living now ? ??WTF ? Just WTF ??? Trade war mKes zero sense Kissing Putin's arse is disgusting. Peace thru strength my arse. We giving Putin everything he could want and no negotiob has even begun.

I wish Rump would just GO AWAY ... and take all of his repubs with him !! United States is now the a$$hole country !!!!!! Thank you for everything, Canada. I support Canada and Ukraine !

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

Okay, everything is fucked, but that was a cool speech

Good to see Trudeau set the tone cos Mexico needs to set the same tone and the EU should be equally harsh in its terms. Trump is starting a trade war with Allies while cozying up to Putin. Putin must be laughing watching this. How much the world has changed for Putin. Trump is doing everything Putin wants and more.

Everything that happens is on you Cultist

why counter tariff? you keep telling me tariffs hurt the importing country. why are you hurting Canadians. Is it all just words and your using Canadians as pawn pieces. Everything you said the the American people applies to us too because of you and Donald. we don't all have 100 million like you Justin. figure this out.

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

Huffing and puffing. They should honestly tell Canadians what the Bank of Canada governor said. Canadians should brace for impact for a recession the likes of which they have not seen. Get ready with your 6 month salary savings and scaling down on everything. Good to act tough till it starts biting home like the carbon tax

Acts like we can’t get everything Canada provides….elsewhere.?

As a Canadian this Trudeau is an absolute B A S T A R D And has held us hostage for 10 years crippling our economy before this tarrif war kicked off which he himself caused by doing absolutely nothing about anything except gay pride movement this WEF puppet Trudeau is a LIAR and everything he’s spoken he’s done to Canadians before this distraction.don’t kid yourselves he a spoiled platinum spoon fed trust fund baby who’s achieved nothing of importance on his own

It’s just one big scheme for the Bro/Oligarchs to make money while destroying the US and World Economy. They are all betting the short today while everything crashes.\nUnfortunately the American People and their lively hoods are all being held hostage by THIS Pathologic CRIMINAL !! Good luck Canada- Every Country should freeze this maniac out and Not do business with him!!!

This US administration is everything un-American ?

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

The mistake is thinking that Trump is operating by economic principles with public well being in mind. He's satisfying his narcissistic needs. Everything he does is for aggrandizement, demonstration of power and sadism. Everything Trump does makes sense from the point of view of a malignant narcissist sociopath. He has skills as a manipulator and is a moron at everything else.

To all you Maga supporters: it can't be that Trump is always right and everyone else is wrong. 9 times out of 10 Tronald Dump is wrong on everything

As a Canadian, I share the opinion of about 80% of our country. Trudeau is a clown, and after 10 years of him destroying our country, we can't wait for him to be gone. The stuff he is saying about the flow of drugs is not accurate. Just like everything he does, the moves he has made to fight the drug trade are just theatre, with very little results. I don't like Trump, but he is correct about the drug issues we have up here.

Aside everything else as totaly unbiased viewer i wanna point out how much more coherent, well spoken, info savvy/knowledgeable JT seems...unlike his counterpart Trump.

So this will only hurt the Americans ?!? Thanks for feeling sorry for us. It shouldn’t affect you then. Good for you. I never realized we relied on Canada for everything to survive. This is crazy.? ?

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!

Maybe everything we’ve been told in the west has been a lie . FU little Castro.

I'd love to see MAGA explain this one... Canada did exactly what the president asks to avoid tarriffs and now what? Make America harder to live in because the cost of everything is increasing..... because of what? DEI? Some other Don Quixote windmill they want to fight?? I get fired at work if I don't make data-based decisions and make a clear case for why I am doing something. This administration has yet to explain why this is necessary. Show us the 'bad deal' we are getting, explain why it is bad... No more campaign rhetoric.

Trump is an asset of Vladimir Putin. When you look at who ultimately benefits from all the craziness because of Trump, it’s Putin. He is the benefactor of everything Trump is doing. We knew this a long time ago, he didn’t even want to peacefully transfer power, caused a riotous assault on the US capital, he has now given Putin everything when it comes to Ukraine, made a pathetic adolescent attempt to demonize Zelensky, and yet he still sits as the leader of the most power country in the world. He should be rotting in jail for the rest of his life. He has betrayed everything free democracies stand for.

Hey America, don’t get him wrong. He’s an idiot and he’s been destroying everything he touched all along, he’s taxed the shit out of us, treats us like disposable slaves, stolen all kinds of money, he’s a piece of shit. You lie, you lie, you lie.

Yay, everything's great again!

:( Half of us didn't vote for the moron in the White House. We are really sorry for everything dear Canada :(

Putin has instructed Trump to do everything in his power to destroy America. Mission accomplished !

So agree with Canadian prime minister. Trim does everything to make life of Americans harder. The US is loosing all of it allies

Everybody on this app quit getting gaslit every time this guy talks he lies through his ass. He’s the devil he lies through his teeth. He’s killed Canada. Everything rolls in Canada because of his carbon tax and his tax tax tax does act just like a Nazi. Don’t listen to a word he’s our enemy.

Trump is KGB ! Everything is stands for and does is pro-Putin !

Trudeau, just by being Trudeau, is waving the red flag in front of the bull. So why in hell doesn’t he just go home and shut up. Most Canadians feel he doesn’t speak for them as we are living with the destruction of our economy, our military, and everything in between.

the USA Will have tariffs on everything and the rest of the world which make up over 88% will drop Them

Trump is a traitorous asshole bastard! He's doing everything he can to weaken America!

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

Not personel just buisness. No we are not. We are trying to get the tyrant (putin to the table) EU is weak and we are the only ones who can solve this war. Yet NONE of you even tried while Biden was in office. This will enable us to produce these goods at home and you as well. No need to import export everything. You will come out well too. Its the game you all are playing.

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.

Everything that is happening and taking place is because the stupid mega hat voters and others that voted for Trump \nYou did all this to us.

Has nothing to do with fent, so stop rehashing this moronic rhetoric. Has everything to with expediting a recession. \n\nAll Canada has to do is reroute all the potash and heavy crude. It's over in 6 months.

When are people going to wake up and realize that Trump is a Russian asset he is doing what he is told to do. He is not for America. He is an enemy of America. Everything that he is doing is to benefit. Russia wake up people he is a treasonous lying fraud, and he needs to be in jail. He needs to be removed immediately

Trump is a problem to the developed countries but a bitter blessing to the third world countries. Look at African countries they have everything that nature can provide they are capable of standing on their two F... Foot but the US has been like a mother who doesn't want to let her kids walk by there own feet. The US has been dishing the African countries with chocolate that doesn't benefit them with anything this is the biggest course of poverty in Africa. They need to get away from the USA and the rest of the developed countries so that they can create a better African for their people. Trump please cut them all out cut the relationship so that this countries may elect a proper president without the developed countries planting their puppets. Please let them go for once

Your relationships with others do not actually depend on how well you treat them but rather on your strength and the leverage you hold. People tend to be more tolerant of the strong, while even if the weak do nothing wrong, they may still be mistreated. Even if you endure everything in silence, it is often seen as a cheap attempt to please others.

This ONLY makes sense if you're looking to destabilise an economy which in the case of America will cause a global chain reaction... What more does Trump need to do before his spineless party call him out?\n\nLiterally everything Trump has done since 2016 has worked to the direct benefit of Russia and AGAINST the interests of America and its historic allies... Occam's Razor.

Trump is a traitor. When will people observe the obvious - Trump is doing everything Putin wants to happen. How else can you explain a fractured relationship with our neighbors - Canada and Mexico? For bogus reasons.

Canada will get over it and prosper,, You get use to everything. It probably won't last.?

everything he has done makes no sense, has no logic, it’s sick

Trump wants to do anything he can to weaken the USA as much as he can for the love he has for Putin, so he will lie about everything in order to do this. He lies about canada to justify what he is doing that we all know is hurting we american people . He doesnt care. Nothing canada or mexico does will make a differnce because of the overwll goal he has.

My Canadian brothers and sisters.......we all didn't vote this person in. We disagree with everything he's doing. From the way he spoke to President Zelensky to these tariffs. The xenophobic, racist, homophobic uneducated humans that calls America home are the ones that got this guy in. People that voted against their own interest. Now we all have to suffer. SMH.

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.
