What I have loved most about the stupidity of Trump, his government and his supporters is that it has brought Europe and the commonwealth together. It’s made citizens of each country unite together at a time that there was so much division especially in Europe. People across the world boycotting the USA to show their, disgust, hit them where it hurts, supporting other business and bolstering our own economies, in doing so also supporting those Americans that did not vote for this. So much good coming from this.

This is going to hurt the amish

Tarrifs hurts the countries consumers nothing else. Big companies dont give a damn about your Tarrifs Trump, they just put it on the consumers and thats us. Good God man we had a dummy as President last year we dont need another dummy in the White House. These Tarrifs are stupid. ?

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

As much as it will hurt us in America, I understand. I am so sorry. I wish we had a different President. Thank you, Canada for all your years of friendship. I hope we can earn it back some day.

you are a fool if you believe canada will bring america to its knees with these pointless tariffs lol. it will hurt Canada 100x more than it does the US

As a US citizen I fully support what Trump is doing. \n\nOh and these tariffs will hurt Canada far more than they will hurt America and we know that.\n\nCanadians better start controlling their border soon.

So his 2 trillion dollar economy is going to hurt ours ?

LOVE CANADA! I apologize for what that monster is doing! People here will be hurt financially, but perhaps that is a lesson that those who voted for that person needs to learn!? God bless CANADA!

I am a proud South African ??. I stand with and support the brave people of Canada as well as the honest and sensible citizens of the U.S.A who look at the facts and see that the actions of Donald Trump are nothing but childish antics that hurt Americans more than anyone else.

Trudeau....Trump is purposely trying to destroy the US...contain this idiot in the white house and target goods from red states on your bans....if Republicans wont put him in check, make those republicans hurt till they do.

This shyt just made my stomach hurt ?

You sit there spending 0 on your own military and live off us like a leech. You want to talk about hurting American families, lets talk fentanyl. You havent done shit until President Trump hit you in the wallet. You also have tariffs on us. The USA is also running a huge defecit with Canada. Biden is gone and the screw job is over.

When are people going to realize that the Tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl crossing the Canadian border, that is just a smoke screen. the real reason is the fact that Trump is Putin's puppet and Canada is aligned with Ukraine, so now they are trying to hurt and possibly ruin Canadas economy. Trump is like Putin where he does not care if counter Tarriffs hurt the American people, he only cares about himself and his rich friends, who will not be personally be affected by them.

I live in America, I Love Canada As I Live Right In The Border. ! I love All People This Is Terrible And Evil To Us Regular People! This Hurts Us All I Have Family, And Friends On both Sides of This Continent. The border is our back doors. We all shop, visit, entertain all over we all should be FREE. STOP THIS EVIL IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH! YAHSHAYUAH!

As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

Good on Canada for standing up for their people. The news anchor seems offended that Canada is talking “harshly “ to poor o frump… o please! Enough with the treatment of kid gloves Americans will be deeply hurt by this buffoon starting a trade war with our allies… the frumpy supporters this is what you voted for so don’t want to hear crying…. You didn’t want to listen to the warnings given so now deal with it just like everyone else that knew better ….

I’m American and I approve this message! This will hurt innocent Americans and ones not so innocent who voted for a treasonous traitor, but racism will make one hurt themselves just to hurt “those people” u deem unworthy

When the US starts to hurt and their power is cut (if we proceed with that), I suspect that they will take military action against us. It will cease to be a trade war and become an actual war.

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

If this wasn't going to hurt them they would not be squealing like a stuck pig.

Trump doesn't care how much we hurt he's a billionaire this is is a huge game to him he will destroy America

Trump still have his Sanity? the way he isolating USA from all allies going to hurt America badly... Look like he showing his vengeance on American who didn't elect him for strait 2nd term. or he is possessed by some bad aura from the advisors he have around? either way it not looking good, how this going to end.

All Tariffs end up hurting the consumer on all parties.

Trump is a sociopathic dumbass.... this will hurt america in the long run. ALL allies are turning away from that toxic US policies.... bye bye US Dollar and US ignorance will hurt you soon...

Turdea it’s not Donald to you as your disrespectful to our President Donald J Trump. You were fully aware of 25%Tariffs. We the people have spoken and strongly stand and support our President Donald J. Trump. Business is business stop being butt hurt. It’s nothing personal just the facts and truth.

Americans won’t be hurt. You will be.

Justin does not care about the concerns of its allies. Last year, Justin cut off diplomatic ties with India to protect a terrorist. Canada is now a hub of drug smugglers, gangsters and illegal immigration. This is hurting allies but Justin is not LISTENING

Well said Canadian PM Trudeau! Thank you for saying the truth! We millions & millions of Americans are with Canada and agrees with you! Stay strong against the felon President, he's hurting the American people. Way to go Canada ??

I also love when he speaks directly to trump and just calls him Donald. You know that will hurt trumps little ego.

anyone that doesnt think shit gets worse before it gets better is delusional. weve kicked the can down the road for decades and now were at a breaking point. Tarrifs are mad toi bring companies back to america making our country more self sufficient and not so reliant on everyone else which will strenghten us. TSMC has already made a deal to start manufacturing chips here which control everything we know and china could stop that at any moment. Honda is coming here as well. All in all almost one trillion has been committed to invest in the us and this is a huge win for the long run. Alot of these countries have had tarriffs on us for ages and the people speaking out against it is because its hurting their pockets. The long run this is mandatory and we should have never let manufacturing go in the first place.

Come on bro you know that Joe Biden is the one that hurt this country with what he let you and every other country get away with against the American people a lot of us woke up we voted for Trump there's a mandate you can talk crap and try to lie all you want that's what you liberals do but we know better I stand with Trump

Canada costs the US billions, you sir haven’t been very been in a real fight you make peace by talking to your enemies fool there’s your sense and if you don’t want to do this make tariffs reciprocal this won’t hurt us it will hurt Canada

Canada has the winning hand. Canada has resources that USA needs to survive. USA has nothing to offer to Canada to survive. If Canada should cut energy to USA, let’s see who is the boss. For say, Canada is the biggest producer for potash, a fertilizer needed for the American fields. Canada will suffer from these tariffs but USA will cash down harder. Hell will come down on USA unfortunately hurting our American friends and relatives south of Canadian border.

I cannot believe on his last days as PM, he finally started fighting fentanyl, under the threat of tariffs and he wonders why they still put them in place. It’s probably because they want to make sure that he keeps doing what he should have done for Canadians along time ago. But trump should not keep the tariffs in place after Justin is gone it will only hurt both us Canadians and Americans.

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

I am a Canadian . We stand for Our country . Let 'e fighting with Trump . I fed up with Trump . Your peoples get hurt and Your Present doesn't effect because He is a Billionaire

Doesnt Hurt us !!!

This hurts the poor and the middle class in both countries.\n“ Donald“ is out for vengence and blood. He will destroy US. Democracy.\n\nTrudeau’s first language is French.\nEnglish is his second.

I'm from Canada, Trump wants to destroy us, he is a bully, Trump deserves everything he gets and I hope it hurts him good.I am very touched to see the support of the world for Canada thank you's

Doesnt Hurt us !!!

We stand with you Prime Minister Trudeau - this is all about Trump he is un-American and a complete disgrace. He is trying to hurt all Americans and our Allies

It's sad that US voters put themselves and their fellow americans in this awful situation. This won't be easy to fix now, and it will hurt everyone, apart from Vladimir who is for sure having the time of his life in Moscow lately.

This hurts the poor and the middle class in both countries.\n“ Donald“ is out further blood. He will destroy US. Democracy.

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

Trudeau should go home and review their tariffs on the US. These are “reciprocal tariffs” which means you get what you give. Trudeau is a walking moron, he needs to just move on out. He thinks he’s going to hurt the US? He’s a joke.

It ain't good to start this issues,we must focus in bringing global peace,this wars are too much,the trade wars gonna hurt families,unemployment is gonna hike up.The two leaders need to sit down and solve their issues as allies.

The Canadian tariffs imposed on US goods, will hurt Canadian consumers, and US manufacturers. How does this help America? Secondly, it has been reported that Russia is funding the manufacturing of the illegal Fentanyl that gets smuggled into our country, and around the world. Finally, TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

Fertilizer is going to hurt agriculture for years
