From Mexico … ?? we love our neighbors USA ?? and Canada ?? … we need too work together!!! Let’s make North America stronger and unified again !!!!

Sadly there never was anything we could do to prevent tariffs. We should retaliate and when they retaliate we retaliate and let this go off the roads. We cannot back down to this idiot President. At same time we should be making neither deals with Europe and close out the arrogant USA corrupt government. Canada first initiatives and less reliant in them. Focus on Mexico and Europe and fuck those pricks.

My biggest thing with all of this is Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and dozens. Other countries /nations had no issue when we were aligning their pockets with money. Mind you OUR TAX MONEY as someone who had damage from the last two hurricanes to my home/roof I filed for FEMA, I was denied in less than 12 hours. We have plenty of money to go around to these other f****** countries but we don't have the money or anything to help our own people no....

Trump is a fool. The U.S. traded energy with Canada and Mexico. They will find other markets but the U.S is stuck.

This is especially troubling because this is not Trump's endgame. This is the beginning. He is taking a playbook from Putin to raise hostilities and start to paint Mexico and Canada as enemies which will somehow justify more severe actions, such as invasion and taking of land and resources. This needs to stop NOW.

The majority of Americans stand with Canada and Mexico!

Proud of Canada - from a normal Dane who is chocked seeing how Ukraine, Mexico and Canada are treated - soon we are in line. Hurrahh for Canada

My guess is, if Canada joins America as a province, it would be good, America could be really big for the next strategy against Russia + PRC, because it connects America, Canada, Alaska, it's really a big country, oh I forgot about Mexico too. Bigest in the world... Then lets warrrr

Illinois here and we stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

Canada ?? and Mexico ?? fight back ??

México nowdays has a efficient, knowledgeable. and honest president that wanted to have fair trade agreements with Canada and the United States ...however the US government choose to fight and blame the neighbors to the north and south by braking every single rule of the free trade among the three countries ......CHINA , CANADA AND MEXICO ....oviously will retaliate the same way and Definitely the US citizens will be the most hurt ....mexico always have been resilient from wars. Pandemics , bad politicians , economy , etc etc etc ....mexicans have the strength to recovery sooner than later and this one won't be diffrent .....mexico will continue to have agreements with Europe. Asia , and Latin America with the option to have talks with bricks ...we all know the world is totally diffrent.now .....The 1800s are gone and will never come back that's for sure !!

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

As an American, YOU make me SICK! You are such a hypocrite who is ACTIVELY destroying his own country! I will make the hard decision to do without/pay more rather than pander to Canada, Mexico, China, etc…. So Mr. Trudeau, don’t “speak” to us about anything! Just go away!

As a war vet I'm ashamed of the board of billionaires that have sold out our vets and seniors for wealthy tax cuts, shamed our friends in their time of need and propped up dictators while kicking the poor and disenfranchised. I'm 71 and I apologize to Europe, Mexico and Canada, Ukraine and Gaza for the shameful leadership we have sadly been saddled with here stateside!

Canada Mexico Greenland(Scandinavia) Panama and Nato are enamies but Russia and North korea are good friends !!!

It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

Mexico stands with Canada ??

As a Mexican, i hope that the TMEC between our countries is still in place, in spite of the US abandonment. US trade with Mexico in 2024 was 840 billion and with Canada 762 Billion. US is turning its back on its closest allies.

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.

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

The irony of POTUS saying that the current trade deal we have with both Canada and Mexico was terrible and the worst but was made and signed by him and his administration. In 2018 but ?? ??

We send our love and concern to our brothers and sisters in Canada and Mexico ???

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

Will this increase egg prices even more for US? I heard it's already more than $1US per egg. Mexico or Canada has lots of eggs and at reasonable prices! We got the protein to get stronger.

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.

I stand with Canada and Mexico. Tariffs created by Nazi maga and not the true american people.

It's time we as Americans. Stand up and fight. The status quo is no longer. Why didn't Canada or Mexico do this, before the problem? Because you didn't have to. Now you have to. As America we need to bring our country back. Stronger and better. And stop relying on foreign goods. You trudo need to correct your handling of your own fellow Canadians.

I'm from Bolivia and I stand with Canada ?? and Mexico ??

This is what happens when you elect a convicted felon TV personality who don't understand how economies work. I'm a sane American and I stand with Canada and Mexico.

Not only is Canada united in solidarity against Trump and his trade war, I think that we are seeing right here that Americans, Europeans, and people from every continent, also have a sense of unity and solidarity with us and Mexico and against the bully and dictator who currently is squatting in the White House. \nOrganise. \nMobilise. \nResist.

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.

THIS IS HIS FIRST STEP \nIN THE PLAN TO INVADE \nBOTH MEXICO AND CANADA \nnot funny any more

This is hard to live through, as an American who didn't vote for that fat slob. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

Don’t listen to this fool…Trump set tariffs so Mexico and Canada stop importing fentanyl chemicals from China. \nTrudeau is an idiot.

I’m generally no fan of Trudeau but I’m with him on this…these Tariffs are stupid. I don’t know why we have to do this to them and ourselves…these amount of Fentanyl that comes in from Canada is tiny compared to Mexico

This guy is a con artist who has handcuffed Canada's economy for a decade. The claim that Canada has had record growth and prosperity since the signing of the Canada, Mexico, U.S. trade deal is laughable. Canadian's standard of living has deteriorated for years.

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

Our American government is pointing the finger at where the supply of fentanyl is coming from, but it does absolutely nothing to decrease the demand. The demand is OUR fault. We Americans LOVE drugs, and Trump should be blaming the American people, not Canada, Mexico, or China.

From Norway. I stand for Canada,Mexico,Ukraina end Europa. Let’s stand together against Trump and his rich friends.. Trump is Pultins puppet and first ´´ladý´… and to your Americans who’s stand up for Canada I respect and are proud of You.

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...

We stand with Canada Mexico and China. Our three greatest trading partners. Only the Japanese and Koreans will profit from this?.

I stand with Russia but I dont understand this attack on Canada or even Mexico. What is Trump doing!?!

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

I hope everyone leaves behind agreements with USA \n\n\nFrom UE, Canada, Mexico and BRICS including Russia

That’s what a Fascist does your our best friends, our best allies, our historic hemispheric family: Canada and Mexico. Long live Canada and Mexico!!!!!! God help our Beloved country led by a psychopath and narcissist!!!!!!!!!

Canada and Mexico should get together in trade, excluding the US. Canada and Mexico can do great things with out the US.

Look at all the comments from all over the world - we stand together as the free western world! Love and strength to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine.... the EU and Canada needs to work close together in the future!!!! Strength and honor from Austria ❤????

I am American, and Trump doesn't represent me. I support Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and any allied country this tyrannical American president attacks.

Trump is weakening America, he is weakening Canada, he is weakening Mexico, and for what? \n\nMaking it easier for Putin to threaten Canada. Maybe Trump wants to annex Canada to have our minerals, water, oil and our access to the Arctic sea.\n\nEurope, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and many more are fed up with the Musk/Trump combo.

What is the US doing to stop illegal guns flowing from the US to Mexico and Canada?
