All these other countries have tariffs ...on the usa.... but we arent allowed to tariff them..???????...thats called a rip off...SCAM?

But you guys already tariff the US before this lol. Aluminum, steel, cars, eggs, milk, sausage and much more.

The tariff is because they would not increase their military spending with nato

whole world had 200% inflation in covid and yall think 25% is a trade war? are you even able to google tariffs from other countries? are you aware all the oil and gas can be produced in the usa?

It takes a lot to piss off a country like Canada, which is saying something. I don't fault the Canadian and Mexican governments for standing up for their people. It's just a damn shame that regular Canadians, Americans, and Mexicans will pay the price of the trade war started by President Trump. Why we're taking aim at our ally nations and not putting tariffs on Russian goods says it all.

Our tariffs are reciprocal. Drop your tariffs and we drop ours. You’re the one not playing fair

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

So canada wants USA to pay tariffs ...but we shouldnt tariff them ..????

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

One malicious Superpower in Eastern Europe brutally invaded it's neighbor \nand has led to a bloody war in the Ukraine. .\nOne 'friendly' Western Superpower launches a catastrophic economic war \non its neighbors, threatening to put their economies in a stranglehold using \ndevastating tariffs. \n\nPutin brakes the agreements he signed during the Minsk treaties in 2014-15. \nTrump breaks the USMCA agreements (formerly NAFTA) he signed in 2020. \nBoth Superpowers leverage their economic and military power to demand \nsubmission in order to extort concessions, and possibly more territory.\nJust how much difference is there,, really?

Stop your tariffs and Trump will stop his…. reciprocal tariffs are genius.

As a canadian , i soppurt the TARIFF .., the president offered bieng 51st state , so enjoy the consequences of your stubborness

I am so sad to hear about that, peace please, don’t do the tariff war, don’t do that

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

Trump election campaign he promised american people about tariff 100% he win \nThis leader stand with Ukraine our tax payer money never take any step up with or talk with him \nNow crying he is good actor proving again. He not worried because already filled his pocket

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada are essential to protecting American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. Trudeau’s corrupt leadership has exploited the U.S. for years while failing to curb the fentanyl crisis that devastates American communities. His government’s scandals and suppression of dissent prove Canada is no longer a reliable partner. These tariffs aren’t about punishment—they’re about securing America’s future, restoring fair trade, and putting American workers first.

The tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl coming over the border, that's just another lie. DT doesn't give a fig if Americans die as a result of drug addiction. Have you ever heard him talk with compassion about how to actually help drug addicts in this country? This is about control, and power, and it's personal. He is a menace to all and we gotta stop him.

Justin Trudeau I believe what your saying and I totally disagree in Trumps tariff wars. I am sorry we are here. When Trump asks again about become a state of America tell him to go screw himself.

So you claim the tariffs will hurt the US economy, so that means thew tariffs you put in place will also hurt the Canadian economy. Make it make sense.

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

This is what a president looks like. Coherent, intelligent, mindful, and strong. Sucks that we’re going to suffer from these tariffs, but it’s Trump’s fault 100%

GTFO Turdo you ruined Canada, manufacturing and production all companies are leaving Canada. Canadians are leaving Canada long long before the tariffs took place. \nAnd by the way American consumer will be paying Tariffs so don’t you dare to play the victim.

Canadian here. Wake up Canadians. Many people are praising Trudeau for this speech. Don't. He is out as Liberal leader within the week. He doesn't have to follow through on anything he said. Plus, he just stated that he's smart enough to suggest that Trump just put a 25% tax on Canadian goods for Americans but he also thinks that you are dumb enough not to realize that he just put a 25% tax on Canadians for American goods. Trudeau basically created the situation for these tariffs (open border to let anyone come here). He loves this as he gets to take the apparent moral high ground for the first time in his life and wants this speech to be the way he is remembered rather than years of failing Canada. Forget about the last 9 years and vote Liberal if you are a fool.

Well Canada is already talking about cancelling their election. Also Home Builders’ Association just said that Canada’s own counter TARIFFS will have a greater negative impact on Canada.

To any Americans reading this: We love you. We have fought and died along side you on the battlefield for many years. When pearl harbor happened, we declared war on Japan before even you did. When 911 happened, we allowed your planes to land in Canada. We fed you and housed you. During the LA fires, we sent firefighters and water bombers to assist. You have always been our closest ally, and vice versa. You have always been able to rely on us. \n\nThat stops today, thanks to your president. Make your voices heard if you disagree with what is happening in your country. His diplomacy and tariffs will hurt the both of us. A lot of Trumps rhetoric is nothing but bald faced. inaccurate BS. We hope you see the truth with your own eyes and work to fix the damage Trump will cause.

The tariff on Canada was pending illegal immigration invasion deterrents at our northern border, & none was given from their side.

So what are the names of the 1.5million United States citizens Donald had killed with Fentanyl while he waited 1-month to impose these absurd tariffs.

“ smart”?! Don’t agree with that PM. Stop trying to play nice . Trump has filed for Chapter 11 plenty of times, he’s dubbed people from fake plans such as the “ school” he made up. He’s owed people money and have always hid behind his lawyers. Trump doesn’t care about us average Joe Americans. Trump’s plan with these tariffs are to cover the cost that he’ll give his corporate billionaire buddies another tax cut . Let’s not forget that he gaved the biggest corporate tax cut on American history during his 1st term and preparing another one this time around, but he’ll do it when the animosity calms down. He’s crooked as f***. And those who believe in him are completely delusional. He doesn’t pay a penny in taxes like his buddies.

It should be a 25% tariff at US Dollars fuckem let’s be serious! Let’s go forward.

Trudeau!! What are you doing??? You are NOT the PM of Canada any more! You call Trump a dictator at the expense of Canadians??? You are increasing the tariffs FOR Canadians?? How idiotic!!!! Get OFF!!!!!

The United States didn’t impose tariffs. Trump MAGA did, weak republican senators and congressmen did. Corporate America did.

Thought these were reciprocal tariffs, whats going on?

Please blame Trump for the tariffs, not America. Blame everything on Trump by name, not on the government.

WOW U ALL R MAKING THIS MAN A ROCKSTAR JUST BY THIS ONE INTERVIEW ??? PPL STOP GOING BY ONE INTERVIEW THIS MAN HAS TURNED ON HIS OWN COUNTRY BUT U GO BY HIS DEMEANOR AND U ALL FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE HES A DAMN TRADER BUT WOW HOW WE FORGOT THAT HE CANT B TRUSTED AND BELIEVE ME TRUMP ISNT NOTHING BUT PUTTING HIS PPL FIRST! WATCH GIVE A FEW MONTHS AND EVERYTHING THAT TRUMP IS DOING WILL FLOURISH BC HE HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH OPRAH IN THE 90sAND HE WASNT A POLITICIAN THEN BUT WAS ASKED WOULD HE EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND HE SAID; PROBABLY NOT BUT IF I DID I WOULD DEFINITELY GO AFTER THE COUNTRIES THAT R RIPPING US OFF WITH TARIFFS ON AMERICA BUT HERE WE ARE TODAY AND TRUMP HAS NEVER SAID THINGS THAT HE DIDNT BELIEVE THAT WAS RIGHT FOR AMERICA!

WOW WHAT THE MEDIA DOES TO EVERYONE DO UR RESEARCH BEFORE BELIEVING A TRADER, OWE THOSE R FACTS RESEARCH TRUDEAU IS A TRADER DONT BELIEVE ME RESEARCH SHIT BEFORE YALL MAKE COMMENTS

You know why fentanyl is so popular in the US? Cause the live of an average American is so miserable, they want it despite all hazards and risks. Tariffs will make American lives even worse so desire for that drug will only increase.

Don't believe everything this twat says, he's been using tariffs and taxes against his own people to force compliance with Liberal policies for years.

I mean he’s certainly well spoken Im sure we all can agree but factual….not so much. People do your research on Chinese Triad gang members buying up real estate in Vancouver to launder money from drug sales. There is no doubt a growing problem in Canada that is impacting the US. By the numbers Canada illegal border crossings and Fentanyl crossing volume might pale in comparison to Mexico but it’s important to note that it’s still a rising problem they’ve yet to fully understand. Look at how much of the Northern US border is unguarded compared to the southern border. This tariff war between the US and Canada is no doubt a problem but Canada is absolutely a part of the reason it exists. In the end please remember there’s always two sides to every story and mainstream media is anything but objective when it comes to how they cover them.

If ge doubles the tariffs on you, do the same to him, any length he's willing to go, you go the same with him. He's nothing but a bully!

Trump and his Tariffs will be Trouble for lay men

Do not say United States! It is only the most dumbest person in American history and his maga retards that want this tariff war. Please only turn off their electric in the Red states not the Blue states. F The Orange Stain and his Magatards. Who else loved, “ Donald”. The disrespect that implies is fantastic!

Canada and the US have two different governments. But we are, in reality, ONE people.\nThe majority of US citizens, both those who voted for and those who did not vote for Trump, oppose tariffs on our Canadian ancestors.

He'll be crying to Trump on the phone begging for a solution, this is just a facdae. He will promise to do more regarding the illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl and 2 weeks later the tariffs will be lifted

You ain't reasonable nor polite Trudeau you taking advantage of Americans O V E R find yourself another idiot to play with. Trumps tariffs are long overdue so glad this is happening. We have THE BEST president ✊✊

American here. The only reason for these tariffs is because Trudeau refused to lick the boot of the orange deranged and vindictive president we have now...shameful behavior from our vindictive president.

Although I don't support Mr. Trudeau, these tariffs help no one

Remember guys at the end of the day all these tariffs don’t affect Mr Treadu. It affects you. Remember why we fought over a 2% tax in 1776 now we sit in our couch and see the tax price keep rising and y’all sit there and do nothing. They will suck you dry until you no longer have a right.

Donald Trump said he wants companies to come here and build factories and then- no tariffs. Well, I don’t want foreign companies building in our country. These are dumb ideas.

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮
