Western world leaders need to recognise that Trump is only on the side of Putin and Co. and only interested in self - enrichment. Europe / Canada / Mexico / UK need to band together as an alternative 'power' and treat America as an enemy.

What borders total stupidity, absolute absurdity & COMPLETE INSANITY? Canada & Mexico.>?frm??

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.

Canada needs to look forward to partnering with Mexico instead of the rotten united states of north america (not of America ?) just emphasizing that the u.s. do not represent America! ??

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican allies should pay for this. Donald Trump can’t do this to Canada nor Mexico. I don’t want to pay higher prices. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. We Americans need to do more protests against Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

Congress and Biden approved grants of 350 millions at least x2 while Hawaiians lost their homes and got 300dol from the government for assistance, North Carolina Republicans were ignored if they had any political signs and many left homeless, California also many left lost their lives and left homeless. The previous government didnt care about its Citizens. Trump is looking out for Americans and Americans tax payer money. Canada and mexico did have open borders for illegal immigration and drugs to come in. Zelensky thinks that Americans work for him and that he can come whenever he wants and demand not just money weapons but troop involvement.

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.

As a Canadian we need to start buying Canada made or stuff made in Mexico or other countries besides America because everything is going to skyrocket that comes in from America

As a Canadian, we don't produce any arms and the ones that we have in our country come from the usa...then we should do the same as Mexico...we should sue the state for the crossing border in Canada....

I think, Canada, Mexico and all European countries should seriously have a talk with the new BRICKS alignment for a better world relations and stability.

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.

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

I am a military veteran from midwestern United States and a former intelligence analyst from the end of the cold war... we are friends with Russia now? F*ck you Trump and f*ck you Putin! God bless Canada, Mexico, Europe, and especially Ukraine! I hope to see my true friends resume good relations with us when this f'n cartoon of a president is out of office.

The asterisk beside all those talking points is that those stats came AFTER the announcement of the tariffs...Trudeau has systematically crippled Canada. The US has all the resources that Canada does, but why harm your lands when you can buy from someone else?...the US is a consumer, but with the ability to self sustain. Mexico and Canada are mad their best customer is tightening their wallet. It's all postering.

All you had to do was protect the border and lower the many tariffs you have on US goods. Over a million people in the US have died due to fentanyl and the human trafficking. Canada and its bureaucratic masters are realizing that America no longer wants to be part of the new world order and global elite bureaucratic government. The US is 37 trillion in debt we are currently dismantling our own corrupt bureaucracy and ending the Hegemony to focus on America first instead of policing the world for the elites. Canada, Mexico and the EU better adjust because no more handouts are coming we simply can't afford it.

Don't remind Trump that he signed the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement!

A trade deficit occurs when you sell trinkets that no one wants or trinkets of poor quality. Next steps. Restrict people who come from no vax/raw milk regions from entering Canada; Hold military exercises in Canada with EU, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil; Close the Detroit border crossing for 3 days (thousands of amurucans work in Ontario), Restrict electricity exports to NY and MN; Restrict Canadian air space; Alaska no fly zone; Increase landing fees at YYZ and YVR. . Remember 1814 and Lundy`s Lane.

My family stands with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. I hate what's happening here in America. I wish someone would just come along and boot Trump, Musk, Vance and all of Maga out.

_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.*

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau.\n\nAmerican Standing with ?? Canada, Ukraine ?? and Mexico ?? \n\nMaybe 20% voted for Trump?\n\nHe cheats & is a liar.\n\nThe WORLD needs to know WE ARE IN DISTRESS.

See Canada passed a border plan. Yet Trump had a border plan and he himself shot it down and voted against it. So, who is at fault here? NOT CANADA, NOT MEXICO.

Fight with Canada, Mexico and Zelinsky, stock market loss, piting Putin, renaming the Gulf all in little over a month........This guy is good !!!

I love Canada and Mexico! Trump is a clown and his administration is a circus! We need a hard reset and get this clown out of the White House!

As a Korean, I stand for Canada and Mexico. Mr.Trump is messing up USA badly and treating USA alliances as an enemy. Through the trade war Mr.Trump started, many USA citizens will suffer economically and crash other economic market for the rest of world. I totally agree with Prime minister Trudeau.

I can't stand Trump. He is hurting us all. As an American, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry to Canada and Mexico. This is not my doing. But I stand behind YOU and Not the orange man-baby!

Canada was requested numerous times to help stop the flow of fentanyl which Mexican cartels trafficked that killed 200,000 Americans. Trudeau's reply is only 1% of fentanyl comes through Canada.. even though they don't properly secure the border and everyone knows the amount is significantly higher.\nTrudeau ran to Mexico to sweet talk THEM into mutual trade deals rather than assist the US stopping Mexican cartels.\n\nTrudeau should be arrested and tried by military tribunal for his participation in 200,000 deaths.

I'm with Canada but can't WAIT to see how the new President of Mexico comes out swinging!

As an American, I'm not sure why Trump is doing this. I can see with Mexico there is a big problem but with Canada I just don't see it. I think Trump may have bit off a little bit more than he can chew.

If you lose Canada, Mexico and Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, your reserve currency status will be affected, and with that, your current and ever increasing debt will come to the forefront.

As a disenfranchised American citizen, I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and any other nation willing to stand up to this bullying coward. I absolutely DO NOT blame Canada, Mexico or anyone else trying to protect their populations. Imagine having a government that would do that. trump must go. he is a threat to the entire world.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

Trump isn't smart ? \nHe's a fool!!! Real Americans stand behind Canada and Mexico ?

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

Canada builds about the same number of cars as they export to the U.S. .That's trade. 12 Corporations have opened assembly plants in Mexico to take advantage of cheap labor, including the Big 3. That's greed.

As an American I apologize to Canada and all of our friends. I did not vote for Trump. Many of us do not want him either. Donald Trump is a liar and mentally insane. We the people of the usa should sue our government for mental and emotional abuse. I side with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

People from America (and I mean de continent) check the labels before you buy and support Canada and Mexico over USA products every time you can. Trump needs a lesson of how support and partnership is way better than the nonsense he is doing.

I am proud of the northern part of the USA, Canada, Mexico and NATO. I am not proud of Trump or MAGA.

Remember that the guy is convected felon. Sure he will praise dictator. Now Canada and Mexico know how they are dealing with. He and his crony isn't your or free world friend and he never will be.

From Spain we all support Canada and Mexico, the US and their wannabe dictator have become such a joke.

Don't say the United State, say dumb Dump and his team....I'm with Canada, Justin Trudeau & John Ford. It's going to hurt us I hate what that idiot is doing not only to us but to Canada & Mexico. Just a pathetic source of junk taking up space on earth.

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

It's really very clever to start a dispute with almost every trading partner at the same time. This only leads to almost everything that is imported into the USA becoming more expensive, while in Canada, the EU or Mexico only the American products become more expensive and customers then switch to Canadian, Mexican or European products.

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.

Free canada and mexico from tariffs

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

One thing, Canada taxes US imports, Mexico taxes US imports, US doesn’t tax them at all, is this a good deal for the US?

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

Trump’s goal is to take us and Mexico in submission but it backfired. Go ???????????? Go! I am a proud Canadian and proud of Team Canada! Bravo Canada! Nous sommes de fières canadiens! Nous sommes prêt à survivre les difficultés pour notre identité et notre souveraineté! ????

Will USA stop the flowing of guns and deadly weapons into Canada and Mexico destroying communities lives, the answer is no, because USA is runned by a weapon cartel Mafia.

Isn’t it tragic that Trump is wreaking havoc with the fentanyl excuse by causing economic harm to Canada and Mexico while having an addict billionaire doing weird drugged out gestures while destroying the government and Americans’ lives on land, air and sea! Nero trump and Caligula Musk…just so dystopian!
