Canada is a country of 40 Million. The US is a country of 330 MILLION . Canada will lose bigly in a trade war so they should swallow their pride and cut a deal asap

American people stand with our friend Canada sorry we have a president that don’t care about no one but himself always keep in mind. There are Americans here that don’t think with the same mine as him.?

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.

Send your taxes to Canada. Canada, offer to buy the US.

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?

Loser..stop canadas tariffs against the US..

From Belgium: I stand by you Canada and hope that Canada and EU grow closer together.

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.

Demonstration of freedom when you don't have to win another election! Truth par excellence! Bold and justified. South Africa stand by Canada... and everyone vs USA.

Trump is using US power to threaten countries for their rare earth minerals. If Ukraine falls to Russia, Trump loses the minerals, If Europe can stave off a Ukrainian defeat, Trump loses the minerals. Canada has threatened to use its mineral wealth in the upcoming trade war and Trump loses the minerals.\nTo America's shame it has the wealth to trade for these minerals without resorting to threats and belligerence.

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,

As a Canadian, I encourage viewers to understand that PM Trudeau was turfed out by his own party and has ZERO credibility, despite his parading around the globe as if he is still Prime Minister of Canada. Our problem in Canada, is a complete lack of vision and initiative on the part of our political leadership, going all the way back to the years of Reagan and Mulroney.

Trudeau needs to do better to keep the fentanyl from coming to America.. I don’t feel sorry for Canada one bit. I lost my daughter to fentanyl so I myself would like some retribution… so him up there preaching like he’s holier than thou is laughable… more fentanyl is coming over the Canadian border than the actual southern border… and that’s after they already had this agreement to stop the fentanyl flow..

TEAM Canada, TEAM Ukraine and TEAM Europe. Excluding the two vile POS that are Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico of course.

He is a joke who totally ruined the great nation of Canada.

Trump is insane and shame on him treating the best neighbour and closest friend Canada ??

This entire trade war with Canada is strictly about Melanie's hots for Justin.

BTW, for those who are not putting it together, Trump pitched a fit when Zelenskyy didn't appear to want to sign a deal because he knew Canada would likely do this. We need those minerals. Now, we have lost access to them.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Sorry Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and the rest of the world that our president is the Biggest Moron. I hope those who vote for him will suffer as well as the rest. ?

Was supposed to be going to Vegas this year but me and my wife decided not too in solidarity with Canada. Much love Canada from Ireland ??

Oh no. It’s Canada. What will we do? Give me break.

Canada ?? can you please take me as refuge I'm refuge from dictetor Trump elon musk jd vence ! Pleas Canada

Who allowed GOVERNOR Trudeau to speak??? #CNN is again trying to influence the elections in the 51st state #Canada!

Trudeau is on his way out. Desperately trying to go out well. He has brought most of this flak down onto Canada in the first place. Time for a change in Canada, as in most of the West.

Canada tarrifs the US so do the right thing

Leverage . Canada is Overly Exposed. The U.S is a Capitlist Nation. He is right there are no winners in a trade war. But there are BIGGER LOSERS. And thats leverage. . Not sayjng its right but please stop with the theatrics. You have NO LEVERAGE

There is a large amount of fentanyl being seized coming into Canada by Americans! Far far more than the less than .001percent coming in from Canada.

Just a few tariffs Canada charges USA\n•Dairy Products - \n•Milk: 270%\n•Cheese: 245%\n•Butter: 298%\n\n\n•Poultry: 238%\n•Eggs: 163%\n•Barley: 160%\n•Wheat: 94%\n•Sugar: 265%\n•Peanut Butter: 295%\n•Rice: 150%\n•Vegetables: 100%\n•Fish Products: 100%\n•Lumber: 20%\n•Shoes: 30%

I’m wondering, what if Canada, Europe Mexico China just stop buying from USA? It’s even possible this scenario?

Thank you for Standing up to this monster , Canada.

@10:30 hahaha Trudeau is around for longer than days and guess what!? The liberal party of Canada has alot to lose which os what Justin represents at this moment. Love you yanks xox this is simply reactionary

Im form Germany and i will open my arms if Canada wants to join the EU. That would be a big jump for Europe and Canada to become Independent from the US. Slava Ukraini

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

I hope Donald trump & Canada can just squash this beef man wtf

Hi Canada; Today I’m Embarrassed to say; I’m an American Citizen. I for One, Do Not Agree with trump. And I know there are many that feel the Same. trump is Like a Very Bad Virus; We Are All going to get Very Sick from it. But We Will Get Over this Virus. And We Will Get Better. ; Again!

Canada will lose this. Trudeau can't play hardball against Trump and come out on top.

We want a friggin election all Canadians want you and your cabinet in jail Justin you bunch of crooks you ripped off Canada and US call an election already

Canada should have took the loss in the hockey game. This is what this is about. ?

Read the 25% and weep Democrats waterboy from Canada. No one wants your policies or comments and tongue-wagging.. Just give the money up for stiffing the U.S. for decades.

You go Canada

Our market is NOT down !! We don’t need Canada …

He's totally contradictory, he says the border has been great yet he's spending a billion making it better. Clearly a major issue is fentanyl and how many Americans are affected. Anyhow hasn't he gone yet? Canada I know you want someone better than this guy.

What a truthful speach...way to go Canada, ?? from an old Welsh gay gal...who is disgusted by the stench on humanity in the WH .. xxx

FAFO Canada ?

From South Carolina, be assured that millions of us are as sad at Trump's actions toward Canada as you are. There is no justification - in this as in so many other Trump actions.

As an italian i'm proud of you Canada. Don't let the crazy bullies win.\nThe USA is working hard on all fronts to end its hegemony. If this won't backfire for them, I don't know what will.

We dont need canada, never have. He asked you to do something, and you didnt. So whose that on?

Among the best speech ? ever given out , Canadian care for their brothers but how do trump leadership care about Americans citizens and his follow brother Canada ??
