How can Canada call us closest ally and true friend when they literally hate us and do anything to not let us into their country

Make it hurt, Canada. I stand with you. We Americans deserve this. Tesla also deserves 100% tariff. The only way Americans win is if we lose this stupid tariff war.

As an American, I support Canada 100%. There’s no rationale for these tariffs—only Trump’s ego. Call his bluff. Make it hurt. We need all the help we can get to dislodge Trump from power.

The USA should become Canada’s 11th province—by the people’s own free will! What a sharp and articulate President! That would be a total upgrade from Trump. ?

Stop the lumber subsidies Canada!

I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

Come through Canada ??!!! I stand with you! ???

From Portugal EU ????, we stand with Canada

I love Canada.

it is not about drugs or neighbour...he wants Canada , he wants oil, he wants to make it 51 st state

We have fertilizer for a president. I respect Canada and our allies- or previous allies. Drumpf is not winning friends and influencing people except his MAGAts.

Trump said early on that Canada needed to agree to be our 51st state or else. I’m sure Donnie is fuming right now.

Mr. Trump you don’t run a country like your business. Like Canada PM said it’s a dumb thing to do.

Justin untrue doe knows his government will go Bank rupt with out the un balanced trade deals that swindle Americans and benefits Canada so now he has to come to the bargain table to address this issue so Donald can correct this unfair trade deal Justin untrue doe is screwed and he knows it how he addresses the issue will determine if Canada goes bankrupt or not good work by Trump to press the issue to benefit America

I just can't understand WHY, WHY A TRADE WAR WITH CANADA?!?!?!?! That's so STUPID!\n\nThats a real leader posture.

I'm British and Trump has truly made a mistake by making an enemy of Canada and embracing Russia.

From the UK, we stand with Canada and the Ukraine. And to the American people, Trump is systematically destroying your economy and the values your country was built upon. Don't stand for it.

As an American and Veteran I am just sickened by what this dictator trump is doing. You do what you need to do Canada because there is no reasoning with that moron in chief! I will always support you Canada ??

Relationships and trade deals will get stronger between Europe and Canada. \nUSA is isolating itself and becoming the baddies of the world. Trump and Musk are damaging the country so bad.

Well done Canada. Wake up Americans! You're President is committing treason in plain sight.

Why can't we have a mature leader like Canada has??? Oh, maga voted for an imbecile - sorry world, it was not me that did that!!

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

If Canada wasn't so cold I'd move out there F Trump and Republicans!!!

God save Canada !

Canada—I hope you find a way to strengthen your ties to other world democracies and keep yourselves safe from this crumbling world order. I hope you come out stronger than ever, America be damned. \n—A Despondent And Grieving American

Trump talks about peace, but only causes unrest and chaos. Shame on his supporters. Putin is happy.\nIn Germany we say: The madness has its limits - Mexico and Canada

Chapeau Mr. President, this was an amazing Speech, stay strong Canada, welcome to Europe!

A bottle of fucking 409 is $9 rn. I know this has nothing to do with Canada, but ffs, when did basic cleaning products get that expensive. 409 used to be like $3-4 a bottle. Trumpflation has really fucked our country up.

Shut up Justin no one likes you in Canada and we can’t wait for you to leave. You are the king of lying and have put other countries above your own people for the last 10 years. \n\nYou are the reason we are weak and there for the taking. \n\nDon’t give me that patriotic bs when you spent your entire tenure doing every unpatriotic thing you could. \n\nDon’t listen to this moron talk about economics, he’s a communist narcissistic drama teacher who doesn’t know wtf he is talking about. \n\n\nJUST QUIT.

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.

Sad very sad. But Trump broke the deal with Canada and Mexico. Now, all of us are going to suffer the consequences of Trump and Musk doings. And there is nothing we can do. That is the saddest thing.

There is no relationship between Canada and America.

Just 4 months ago, this rat Trudeau said America made a mistake in voting for Trump, instead of a woman. Americans voted and overwhelmingly chose President Trump. Justin Trudeau should rather try to repair the damage that he has done to Canada and let the Adult Trump run the US.

Im confused...where is the US border patrol? Canada doesn't check people going into America, right? Its US border patrol that checks people coming into America, no? Why is Canada getting blamed for the US border patrol problems? Just like criminals going from America into Canada, is it not Canadian border patrols' responsibility to keep Canada safe? This makes no sense that Canada must do the American border patrols job.

Thank you Canada I love Canada ?? I stand with you as American trump isn't our president hopefully it ends soon

Trump wants to take over Canada's land. It was never about fentanyl.

He is a true gentleman, honest and will be missed. Thank you for all you have done for Canadians and Canada. So proud of you. ❤️??

This clown is about to Go to his masters in LONDON and Canada will become another US state.

Go Canada!!!! and let us hope that US comes to it senses soon. Otherwise they will float alone and that is not good for any country in the world of today

Ok, enough is enough, it's time to invade Canada.

Trudeau and Canada has taken so much disrespect with all the discourse surrounding Canada being the “51st State” and “Governor Trudeau.” Addressing Trump as “Donald” fees like such a nice subtle little jab ?

Trudeau single-handedly damage relation with leading economy of the world like usa china india . This guy damage the reputation of canada

So ....why you don't stop fentanyl smuggling to USA and you kept your boarding loosely for illegals immigrants so long, you just said USA is close friend with Canada bla bla bla....shut up.

Calling our President by his first name… Disgraceful!!! Canada can kiss America’s ASS !!

This is the old and sad Trump tactics. In one month Trump will say that he is willing to stop the tariffs if Mexico and Canada are interested in renegotiate the bad free trade agreement that some idiot signed 5 years ago. Oops, was that Trump?

Canada stay strong!

The world is with Canada

It is time to start an economic boycott on the US. It pains me greatly to say this. But we can't leave our friends and allies in the cold. The US government tries to destroy Europe and Canada. It needs to be stopped.

O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.
