Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

True Americans stand with Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama and against EVERYONE that Trump is for!!!!

Hey Canada, Europe will buy your oil.

No it didn’t it’s make you pay your way stop your drugs clean the border up and like tump said like for like tariffs Canada, despite its nose to save its face

Maybe it's time for Canada to get together with Great Britain and with EU and put economic sanctions on the USA?

Hey if it makes you feel better Canada, the DOW dropped 1000 points in 24 hours and is still dropping. Dumb dumbs are going to blame dems and Biden maybe even Obama for that.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

So you had to hurt Canada by putting a tariff on their stuff so we can pay more for our product that we buy from them? I would say just let them pay more on our stuff and go from there.

Trudeau is not that popular in Canada, but he is one thing,he's not Trump.He cares about Canadians, and our Sovereignty. Trump has sold out Americans to Russia, and is president only to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself from the position. He has no interest in the American people, only in revenge for supposed flights to him by just about everyone, as he is a petulant child.

Canada is the British mouthpiece! U.S.A needs to be free and Independent from City of London!

Bravo, Prime Minister Trudeau! Elbows up, Canada!!!!

LORD God please bless Canada and protect them from the USA's bludgeoning crooked foolishness.

?man no one worried about Canada who is Canada if they want to smoke they can get it it's a joke USA!! 4life

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

Long live Canada

Yup Canadian here and right now I’d like to send every made in America item be pulled from our shelves. Wth were people thinking when they voted that knuckle head Trump in? He is causing worldwide chaos and America WILL NOT come out better. You will stand alone in the end. Too bad the better Americans are getting caught up in the hate and anger from this idiot’s decisions. ?‍♀️ ? Canada is not for sale!!!!!?? ❤

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

Our Prime Minister fibbed on one aspect 'Donald is NOT a smart man' There, fixed it. Oh, Canada! The True north strong and free.

I support Canada and Im embarrassed to be an American. ?????. Scott from Downtown Detroit MI.

Trump should annex Canada to make it Great again❤

Blame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nIt seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along\nBlame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nThey're not even a real country anway\n\nBlame Canada! ?? \nShame on Canada, for\nThe smut we must cut\nThe trash we must bash\nThe laughter and fun must all be undone!\nWe must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us! ?? \n\n- south park

Presidente Trump told you a month ago about the trade deficit in favor of Canada, also he told you about the fentanyl problem, but you ignored it and now you are complaining. What the f...

People forget that Canada has been ripping off the usa and has been subsidized by usa generosity for a long time. We have problems can't afford to continue unfair and unreasonable trade while our national debt continues to skyrocket.

Canadian leaders, please do not let Zelenskyy sign a mineral deal with the US. trump is setting Ukraine up to fail and take advantage of the Ukrainian people, like he lied to Americans. The world needs to now fight Russia and the White House. I stand with Canada and Mexico even though it is going to hurt my pocketbook...

I guess canada thinks its ok if they tarriff us be we cant tarriff them..gtfoh

110% support to Canada from Sweden

From Romania, I respect you, Canada!! We must stand up to these nutjobs.

screw canada buy america

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

Oh Canada \nWish you were my home and native land

You’re all delusional if you think this hurts America more than Canada ???

Just fell in love again with Canada. Thats how it should be in every nation

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

❗️Trump is destroying America, he also aims at destruction of Canada, Mexico, and European countries. Dump the trump, there is no other choice left for Americans.

It took Trump in power to unite all of Canada... Now we are stronger then ever. Good luck my fellow Americans, stay strong as we Canadians are with you ✊️???? ❤️

Trudeau needs to do better to keep the fentanyl from coming to America.. I don’t feel sorry for Canada one bit. I lost my daughter to fentanyl so I myself would like some retribution… so him up there preaching like he’s holier than thou is laughable… more fentanyl is coming over the Canadian border than the actual southern border… and that’s after they already had this agreement to stop the fentanyl flow..

Wow Canada, you make my tear dripping. You are the true Canadian American…….Trump screw you! Lol

I love you Canada! You got balls and we are with you. ??

We do not need canada!!!!

This American is rooting for Canada!!

From Europe: Europeans strongly support Canada. Having visited Canada several times, I can fully attest to its natural beauty. The remarkable unity demonstrated by Canadians across the political spectrum in their opposition to the current U.S. administration is really inspiring. We should now be strengthening the Canada-Europe relationship, establishing free and unrestricted trade between our regions.

Go Canada.

Ay, Canada you are fighting a Russia agent occupied White House. It will be hard, but you are not alone, as a Canadian and Amercan, we are side by side with you.

Trudeau needs to come to the real-world realization that Canada's only REAL world importance is to just keep Penguin and Moose sh%t off of our pristine Florida lawns and golf courses. \n\n⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳⛳\n\n Nothing more.

americans must realize that this is not against the us citizens .. its against musk, first lady trump and all the spineless maga freaks .. too much social media conspiracy brainwashing during and after covid .. greetz from germany and godspeed to canada ..

Love you Canada. Well done Justin. Embarrassed that America voted the fool into the White House.

I wish he would have mentioned all the drugs and guns they stopped from coming into Canada!

If Canada really was our friends, we wouldn’t run trade deficits with them yearly. See, that’s not being our friend. That’s us being suckers and losers.

I want to visit Canada now ❤??

Mitch and Rand are shaking in their Glencairn and balloon snifters over this...but do not have the testicles to object to *RUMPS tariffs. Liquor sales and production are already down nationwide in the US, especially for bourbon...and they cannot afford to lose the business. Kentucky distilled spirits exports to Canada is an $89 million business. Gently inhale from your glasses, Senator's...Canada is going to give you a sniff or what's to come for your industry
