I don't think continuing to do what hasn't worked in the past is going to fix the future... It's time for change.\n \nThe US has been paying the world for too long, and now it's time for others to pay their share. I don't blame them for being upset, but I don't believe Trudeau's perspective is all inclusive of reality.\n\nAmerica should come first to Americans.

I think it would be great if all news media boycotted the frump Congress speech tonight... There won't be anything factual anyway....and maybe it will upset the 5th grader..

Every Democrat was making the point that only the host country pays for the tariffs that it puts on items. Why is Canada upset? If we have to pay the tariffs. And then canada's answer is to what make their own people pay tariffs, that doesn't make any sense. There market is so small that even if they thought they were doing a trade war, their economy will go bottom up in no time.

So damn angry! And very upset for the many that voted for that idiot. I hate we all have to be on the dang boat together because we all live here. \n\nSorry to a Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Truly disappointed we are ruining alliances.

Governor Trudeau is upset.

America seems to be making a lot of its friends very upset lately

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

Justin Trudeau is an egotistical, immature, childish man, who is upset as his popularity ratings are very low, and he is on his way out!

Thank you Canada! From a spat on Europe and Sweden. I saw that even Warren Buffett is furious. When you upset such big money, you are on the way out.

HOLD UP DONT THEY HAVE TARIFFS ON US ALREADY, TRUMPS IS ONLY DOING WHAT NO OTHER LEADER WOULDNT AS LONG AS THEY WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF! TRUMP DONT NEED ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA BC HE PUTS US FIRST, HES TIRED OF US BEING DONE SHITTY AND THEN THEY WANNA GET UPSET WHEN HE PUTS ON THEM!

So he's so upset that Trump's tariffs will cause inflation in the US and hurt US consumers, that he decides to penalize his own people with tariffs, making them pay higher prices and thereby cause inflation in Canada?? LOL, this proves yet again that the left has no clue when it comes to economics .

I feel like Canada is more upset about this than the US. Tells you everything you need to know. They are dependent on the US. Digging their own grave

Well done JT. Everyone is careful not to upset DT, but finally someone has said it straight. Trump is a bully and a liar. Trump cannot be trusted. Trump thinks the US does not need friends. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater but countries need to stand up to Trump and that complete idiot of a VP.

Trump should just change the word tariff to carbon tax so Liberals won,t be so upset.

I've never seen this guy so upset.

Trumps probably upset because Melanie ‘really’ likes him (Trudeau) ?

Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

Love you Canada! So sorry our Dictator in Chief is the way he is. Couldn't be prouder of a country that isn't mine. As for my country... I'm very ashamed. I didn't vote for him and I'm so upset he got elected.

As an Italian American living in New York, with Italian French-Canadian cousins living in Quebec, its really upsetting to see our relationship with our closest allies fall apart due to the greed and stupidity of only a hand full of people – if you can even call them that.

I've seen the trade numbers.\nU.S. buys a lot more from all these countries than they buy from us....everything combined. Make that make sense. \nIt's time we trade equally and some folks are upset. Make that make sense.\nIf friendships matter, why don't we trade equally?

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.

I'm surprised how many Americans are upset with this move against Canada, from the left and right. I'm not letting Donald affect my friendships I have down in the States with friends and family.

O my our dictator is upset...he is the worst prime minister in our country's history.

Why is Trudeau upset for Trump tax Canada in the same percentage that Canada taxes USA products? Why out of the blue communist Trudeau become so concerned about the drugs goes freely through Canada boarders into the USA? Is Trudeau calling Putin communist while himself is a communist globalist puppet trying to hide that the mediocre Zelenskyy is a dictator himself? How hypocrite Trudeau is.

Trump loves to see the upset of others especially if he is involved. It fuels him.

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

Trudeau wrote this like he studied Kendrick Lamars game plan lol i wouldn't wanna upset him DONALD. Its not gonna end well for you. Ask Drake.

Also from Buffalo NY, Wolf. This brings me to tears. I am sufficiently upset. We need to get those maniacs out of our government.

It's ok for other countries to stand up for themselves but obviously its not ok for the United States to stand up themselves. The fact is that these countries have been taking advantage of the United States for so long that they feel entitled and are upset that our president is putting America first

He is upset at the fact that Canada and Mexico are being held accountable

Trump’s just upset because Melania thinks he’s hot

Donaldvonshitsinpants, is upset that his wife Melinia smiled at this beautiful, handsome man. He's everything Donaldvonshitsinpants is not. Kind, thoughtful, slim, intelligent. Most wars start about women.

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer

Canada put tariffs on America and now they are upset that we put the exact amount of tariffs on them??? No country is getting any more tariffs than what they already had on America. Sorry but Americans need our money right now, our country is going bankrupt but you don’t care about that, you only care about yourselves. Well Americans will do what we need to do to rescue our country. Get over yourselves. If you had no tariffs on America then you wouldn’t have them on you now.

We in Minnesota would not be upset if you cut off electricity to minnesota. We would actually encourage you to cut it off in action against our dictator. People need to see it happen. Love you Canada!

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

All of Americas long standing allies now have to communicate with the president like police negotiators . Careful not to upset his fragile ego while he’s demanding a billion dollars and a helicopter. What a sad, incredible situation the world is in.

I have been upset with my beloved Country more than once in my lifetime but never so ashamed as I am now ????

I have heard and seen Canadians get upset with Trudeau but they should be proud of him. Trudeau is a gentleman very professional and he is actually sane. Trump has a lot of loose bolts up there. The worst thing a leader can do is, betray their allies. Trump is a traitor!

The bots are really upset about this. Look at them go.

That’s some big talk tough guy! We better hope he doesn’t really get upset and call us more names lol as that’s all he can do, and stop biting the hand that feeds you, as your military would be helpless against us (not that we want that anyway, but yall need to chill)!

If you really accomplish to make upset one of the most polite people on the world, then must really be a big A**hole

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Uh oh, Governor Treudeu is upset. Oh, no, he's threatening an embargo. I don't care about Fentynol. Druggies dropping like flies opens up jobs.

Come on... We know why Trump targeted Canada. Its because he was upset when Justin Trudeau was caught on a hot mic back in 2019 in London when he was talking about Trump's press conference. Trump is a child who likes to get his payback for people who he believes wrong'd him.

Every single country has huge tariffs against our country. All Trump wants is for them to pay us the same we pay them. Why any taxpayer would be upset is against it is beyond me. Course Trudeau just said he was going to sacrifice his citizens in a forever war that is already lost. Thank God Trump will protect our citizens and just wants a even playing field. Canada has gotten away with robbing us long enough.

I hate being an American. I did what I could but failed. Countrymen voted against it, and well .. we are now all in this hell together. Left stuck and upset at all of this. I am proud of Canada and wish we had a more capable leader. I am so sorry to everyone else. Know its not everyone in america follows the goons about.

Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

Thank you..This is very upsetting ?
