The situation is this is just a reciprocal tariff, we're just making the playing field even, but the situation is, that everything we get from Canada we can actually do ourselves, and it's not the other way around

The majority of the American people stand with Canada over trump.

Canada and Europe must work together. Not let this Russian puppet have his way.

If Canada drops\nAll their tariffs, then we will drop ours.

As an American I love Mexican and Canadian people but all of our problems are coming from China. Trump is doing all this because no one makes the changes to stop trafficking and cartel's its nothing against the citizans of Canada and Mexico.

LOVE CANADA! I apologize for what that monster is doing! People here will be hurt financially, but perhaps that is a lesson that those who voted for that person needs to learn!? God bless CANADA!

Big nothing speech full of lies.\nThen goes and tries to threaten the American people, trying to use our suffering to manipulate the situation.\n\nWake up call we have been suffering inflation it has been going up for years with these shady trade deals from Canada. \n\nSo what we should just keep suffering and not call into question the trade deals that have been screwing us?

From Puerto Rico ??, I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? .

Ahhhh poor DEMS, maybe you all should move to Canada, with the others

We want Canada to be one among our states.

Canada, fighting from the North.\nMexico, from the South.\nAnti-magas from within.\nKeep trump and his traitors in office and see if it doesn't happen.\nForgot to mention Europe joining in the fray.\nToo bad that kid missed, but there very likely will be others soon, marksman this time, no doubt.\ntrump and his pals will be cringing in the White House bunker soon, where he hid the last time.

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

I’m a stolen African native of Judah but I stand with Canada f America

Wow Canada can go suck it so can Ukraine, and the to rest. All I care about is raising my family. Not yours !!!!!!!

He need to go right now . He has destroyed Canada so badly and don’t come out and BS anymore ???

Why did Trudeau say that about Putin? He goes along with the eu propaganda. Putin is a good man and would of been a good friend to Canada. Trump knows this. Get a book or two,Trudeau, and think for yourself instead of what the eu tells you to say. Thats a fail.

Trudeau ruined Canada, what exactly does he have to say that should ever be taken at face value?

Hopefully, Trump gives Canada an offramp... Make it simple, Canada drops ALL tariffs on US goods, and we do the same. Canada has had significant tariffs on some US goods that go back many years. This is unacceptable.

Canada is, indeed, worth fighting for.

I love Canada, and it's strong people!

Gee. Can't believe a guy who filed for bankruptcy 7 times is ruining the economies of the Western Hemisphere. Quelle surprise! Stand strong, Canada.

First thing I've liked from Canada!!!!! Hell yeah Trudea!!!!! Trump SUCKS!!!!! LONG LONG LIVE UKRAINE ??

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

It sounds like someone didn’t prepare themselves well enough for negotiation. Now Canada has to live with the consequences, because of its government’s lack of strategic positioning.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

I'm from Canada, Trump wants to destroy us, he is a bully, Trump deserves everything he gets and I hope it hurts him good.I am very touched to see the support of the world for Canada thank you's

Oregon supports Canada

A great speech. Canada's finest hour.

From Slovakia I saltue you, dear Canada,stand up to this Orange mad man!

Donald Duck Trump MESS IT ALL UP! THIS OLD ORANGE MAN was voted by the blinded Americans. He's a puppet of a dictator. A cowardly leader who doesn't deserve the position in the oval office. He's full of greed and selfishness. Your GREAT KARMA WILL COME SOON!☝️☝️☝️\nBlame all of these to TRUMP, JD VANCE, ELON MUSK and their American supporters. You will reap what you sow. It may not be now, but in the future.☝️ You'll regret what you did.\n\n???I WILL STAND FOR MY COUNTRY, CANADA! WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE NATION. THE ENTIRE CANADIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL OTHER NATIONS AGAINST THE NARCISSIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Weldone Canada ??

Revoke Elon‘s citizenship. He has an incentive to annex Canada to make him a possible next US president, protecting his orange head and war criminal supporter - just like Yeltsin handed the power to Putin. Who has it devised for the orange head??? You‘re guessing correctly.

We are very sorry he is doing this to Canada.

We're just treating Canada the way they've treated us. Tariff for tariff.

Maga wants blood! Not reason! The mad man has planted the seed of superiority in their narrow minded thick minds! They believe Canada is part ?? and maga! Canadians you better buckle up and prepare yourselves for this wolf isn't stopping! He is willing to destroy everything in his path if he cannot have it! Canada you like or not you are the front line and flag barriers of the free world! ?? has fallen.

Trudeau talking about dictator!! That's a freaking joke he has literally destroyed Canada!

All my support from France to Canada. Democracies that are true to their values need to neuter Trump. There is no other way. Being a felon, a fraud and a sexual predator wasn't enough. He also had to become a threat to the world order that has stood firm since 1945. He and his boss Putin belong in jail.

Maybe Canada should lower their terrifs on America and make it more fair.

Trudeau is hellbent on ruining Canada it seems

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

As an angry American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Well done, Prime Minister Trudeau!?

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

Trudeau is a has been.. Canada has no leadership right now until an election. Dont worry USA Canada will be fine.

CANADA ?? CUT OFF AMERICA POWER TO PROVE YOU NOT ABOUT TO GET BULLIED

I stand with Canada! Trump is not our PRESIDENT HE IS A CRIMINAL! IMPEACH HIM!

Trump wants to invade canada! He is paving the road!! See it!!

Trudeau..A real leader. Thank you guiding us through this dark days. Greetings from an EU civilian. CANADA WE LOVE YE!

Suck the blood of common canadian citizens and give free money to ukraine. is that make sense? what you didto the honest hard working canadian citizens? health sytem is worst in Canada. tax on honest hrd working peoples ruined their life.

Leaders need to address each other with respect and avoid fighting,it ain't cool when we see these two biological brothers Canada and USA fighting in a trade war,instead of fighting they should calm down and negotiate.
