Trump needs to be held responsible for this mess. With Ukraine, with Canada, and with Putin. He lied to us, as he always does.

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

Go Canada ✊

Canada has been sucking on the teet of America for too long. They need to be their own country and stop relying on the US. They can't defend themselves without us. That alone should require some kind of compensation. Everyone including Canada has taken advantage of the USA for to long and when we stick up for ourselves we're the bad guys

As an American, I don’t support Trump and am embarrassed and ashamed these tariffs are happening. Not all Americans support Trump. Canada is still a friend and ally to me. Trump is a terrible, ignorant person.

BTW Mexico is NOT a friend CNN lol - Tariffs on mexico im fine with Canada doesnt need any

We got this Canada! ?? I hope everything gets better soon with our American friends.

I love how Americans say they stand with Canada, that’s gonna change real quick once you see your grocery bill

Thank You President Trudeau! Many millions of Americans support you and Canada. Our Fat Orange President and JT Vance are in Putin's Pocket. Wake Up America!

I stand with Canada! Greeting from Netherlands ????

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

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!!!!

You don't have to go all the way to Ukraine. To get precious metals, you just have to go to canada.

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

Strong speech of Trudeau! We Europeans feel you and we are totally with Canada. \nHowever, I guess there is no point anymore speaking reasonable arguments to someone who simply lost all resonableness. The ones behind him (voters) are blinded by the lies and false arguments they now believe in. \nUnfortunately this all will cause an unparalel loss of economic growth for everyone, ALSO for the americans themselves. In addition, the world peace balance will badly loose its balance and can end up quite uggly.

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.

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.

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

man some of my best friends live in canada. this speech made me tear up. I knew trump wasn't gonna be great but dam man. I didn't know it was gonna be this bad.

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

what has putin to do with this...............what has russia done to canada....u are harbouring khalistanis... u get what u deserve

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

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...

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 love the way he just said Make that make sense.. maybe I should move to Canada as a veteran I am very embarrassed by this stupid dumb shit president

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

But Canada has no problem supplying Fentynal and other Drugs from China. ?

110% support to Canada from Sweden

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

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

I am Canadian and I don't trust Trudeau about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very serious problem in Canada. You can find it in schools and around corners of almost every community. Our government has no intention to solve Fentanyl problem here. If so, its not possible to stop the flow of Fentanyl from Canada to USA.

Canada is crying, lol

From America: Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. You speak for so many Americans. As an American, I see it as if Canada and the rest of the Western world are humanely looking at the big picture. Why has my country failed so completely and selfishly?

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

Anything But American did not have to be, but it will take a generation for the fall out to become a thing of the past after this gross attack is ended. As a senior I can say that I will be gone before reciliation will be achieved. Trump signed the free trade agreement with Canada 5 years ago and he has proven the America is not to be trusted and treaties are meaningless. Trump, and by extension America, has walled itself in to keep the world out. Americans have been less than welcome in some places, now those places include their neighbours. Carrying American dollars and the American flag abroad will not be looked at the same as it was just last year.

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.

why does the new President of America need Canada, Mexico and China to control what crosses the borders into America, it appears the USCBP can not do the job, instead of giving a $4.5 trillion tax breaks to the rich, they should be hiring more agents at the border, after all it is Americas' border,
