Conservatives believe that communist China is the problem. Undocumented Latinos are the problem. Woke Europeans are the problem. Socialist Canadians are the problem. Dear conservatives, you and your president are the actual problem.

I thought trump was supposed to disembowel the left. Justin is looking heroic right now. Russia and China are the biggest benefuciries of this move. Who's side is trump on ?

Trump is trying to blow up the Western trade bloc. This only enhances China's rise to power.

It's about isolating China by befriending Russia. The enemy for Trump, is China.

Trump is inspired by Mr Beast games strategy. If you cant do better than the toughest enemies, attack your nearest friends. China and Russia, and even India laugh at USA now. EU now is cornered from 3 sides at least. Mexico was the bread of Americans, think about it.

Let's trade with China that's the only way Trump understands other than boobs

Canada needs to build the 4th Largest Military in the world.\n\n1. USA.\n2. Germany.\n3. China.\n4. Canada.

Canadian here. This is not about fentanyl or immigration. It's seems to me about separating the world into zones of influence; Europe for Russia, Asia for China and the Americas for the US. Not a very attractive world to live in...

Yeah we Indians know how reasonable Trudeau is with his megaphone diplomacy...pls change this leader of yours...Canadians can't go to US.. india...china fr trade

Europe, Kanada, South Amerika, China . Nice List of Friends of America. Ups, no , its Russia and NK . Country of Adipostias, pleas dont Import your Food anymore.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

What's that sound? Canadians walking away from the table. You don't want our aluminum? No problem, we have others lining up. As your factories grind to a halt, we'll just ship our excess to the EU, China and others. We have the goods. Will it be a pain? Sure, but we should be done with the den of thieves and charlatans occupying the white house.

51st state of America. He is begging for America. What a joke. He did whatever America told them to do including banning China.

THANK YOU CANADA! Our Administration here in the US teaches us to be THANKFUL every minute of the day. SO THANK YOU! Thank You for helping us Americans defeat our Dictator! Thank You also to Mexico and China! Together we can defeat the great evil that is Donald Trump.

Lets get it started. I support president Trump. America has been taken advantage for so long. Canada has been a back door for China to move illegal products and people into the Us. You are owned by China. Your economy sucks, you cannot afford this trade war against us. Your border is not safe. Your military contribution is the bottom of the list. You keeps blaming us for buying your oil? Now, you can keep it.

The Trump administration is basically telling their allies to seek treaties China, at least we know where they stand.

Every American should boycott Walmart dollar stores all the junk that comes from China WHAT THE f**c trump we don't need you

If you're so strong ?.... Why are you begging the American people?. If you hold the cards just worry about your people. Look like you're begging and weak . A strong structure wouldn't blink and keep it moving (China and Mexico) Canada.... Crying to CNN.

Thanks trump for creating enemies right on America north and south border. China will be strategically benefitted. Country cannot be ruled as corporate

I live in Washington state. Spokane just raided 5 businesses that were engaging in prostitution and the employees are sex trafficking victims from China. Guess which border they came into this country from... CANADA, but the Trudeau says they don't have a problem at the border

we have fertilizer here !!!!!!! and it's probably better and drugs are coming from you from China cause he's paying you , isn't he and you are only saying this shit cause he put you in your place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all you dozens and dozens of CNN watchers have no clue about reality. Trump plays 3Dchess while\nMexico and Canada play checkers and China plays majong. we will see what transpires many months from now\nand likely CNN will not report any of it. TDS at it's finest.

why china 20% and we europe 25% and canada 25% wtf is this

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

_So, The Orange Liar replaced NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020. Which was designed to create a fairer trading system between the 3 countries. Wasn't THAT supposed to make things better?_\n\n*Fentanyl was first synthesized in 1959 by a Belgian chemist and later marketed as an intravenous analgesic drug, Sublimaze. While Mexico and China are the primary source countries for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States, India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals.*

Canada should worry how its going to protect itself from China, Russia and North Korea without Americas help

The reason for that is because USA AFFRAID FROM CHINA SO THEY NEED RUSSIA.

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Trump wants to take over canada. It has nothing to do to fentanal but his enormous greed and ego. We would be no worse off if we aligned with china

Fentinal was invented in the USA and comes from China now!

Canada is the money laundering center of North America for money laundering of triad fentanyl profits out of Vancouver. The US has demanded Trudeau to stop this. The liberals stated if they do that, they will upset China and China will just pump fentanyl into Canada for retaliation, so just let Canada continue being a money launderer?

Trump wants alliances with Russia,China ,ye know,the tough strong men...he doesn't care about Canada ... trump and half of America want a dictatorship, Canada and Europe just cut all ties with that coward,we will survive without them.

He is still begging Trump and saying canada is a friend. Canadians did what America wanted to target china. When china did nothing to them. They should be friends with China not America. China did nothing to them.

MnAaGzAi is handing the keys to Russia and China.

If the free world wants to put pressure on the US for this betrayal, trade in euros (not dollars) and avoid US products and services. There are plenty of options. The US is so exposed to China through its debt that it will need to back down from these policies or collapse economically.

Canadians are not our friends lol. Russia is not our friend. China is no one’s friend. But yours…

That woman saying antiamericanism as a Canadian we aren't anti anything but Trump. CNN is now not saying anything bad against Trump now they use soft language you guys used to be the good guys. For the record China has sent delegates to Ottawa about byd and taking the tariffs off the car manufacturer and there is talk about 100 percent tariff on teslas. Long live Canada Slava Ukraine from Summerland bc Canada

United States is not safe because trump ally to dictador socialist Putin north Korea china in the national security is in dangerous

America here. Canada, stay strong. Our government is operated by the corrupted. The WH, GOP Congress, GOP Supreme Court all controlled by the war criminal Putin. Trump and Co. will bury the US. It's all lies and corruption from DC now. Stay strong Canada, Mexico, and China. Trump/GOP Congress is owned by Russia. You saw how Trump deserted the Ukraine to a war criminal. Trump will do the same to you. To the free world.

This is a watershed moment in history. The axis of evil now contains Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and the USA. History tells us that such tectonic shifts in political and military power have many unpredictable consequences for many decades. Peace in Europe is unlikely to be one of them. We must urgently prepare for the worst. \nThe USA is no longer a serious player in world affairs. If the EU does not fill the breech, there will soon be global chaos, and probably war throughout Europe. It is time now for Europe to decouple from the USA. We must prevent the USA and Russia from carving up Ukraine between them. Let's join forces.

I hate to say this because I love America when I stand with Canada in Mexico and even China to fight back against Trump and his tyranny and is tariffs and is bigotry

ELBOWS UP CANADA!\nBUY Canadian....... Hell I will buy anything from China before I buy anything American.\nTrump is gonna ruin your country and push you into a lonely little corner \n

19:39 What a bunch of warmongers, because of tarrifs America is in danger, putin and china will come with ships through the Antarctica ?

You did the same thing with China ! You douch nozzle Trudeau !

Im Canadian....not that I agree with the tariffs, but this POS Trudeau has shut down government the last 2 months. Nothing is getting done. He has time to fly to Ukraine but no time to sit down and hammer out a deal with the USA. He has caused all the issues Trump has complained about. He has destroyed our country from within. He is the worst neighbor a country can ask for. Weak leadership. Porous unsecure border. Weakest military of any first world nation. And a disciple of China. He is ALL OUR ENEMY!

Canada is one of WA State’s biggest trade partners. Including Mexico, China, Japan and S. Korea.

With all due respect, Trudeau is a JOKE. He is out due to screwing with our economy. He is looking Good at the moment due to Trump (lets be honest even putin looking better than trump right now). That being said Tradeau is gone! We will have a conservative government that is going tougher on USA if this continues. \n\nI rather due buisines with USA and mexico, then take it to China, russia or any other country.

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States now. It’s disgusting how we have allowed a completely unqualified and morally corrupt individual to become our President once again. What has happened to our country? We used to care about each other and our individual rights. We were willing to fight for the weak and help others around the world. We soon will be isolated as our allies turn their backs on us. Is that when Trump will join hands with Russia and China to create a communist block of power?

Respects to Canada. The Tariffs will kill everbody in US and the trade war is beginning. Russia and China laughs about the AMERICANS have fun in future wirh your criminal Clown Name Donald Trump.

Tariffs on China and Mexico but not on Canada. China, Mexico and Russia are the main enemies of the United States not Canada.
