What goods does the tariff apply? ?

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

Stop the flow and the tariffs will go. Every American should understand that.

tRump and Elon are holding the country hostage and taking all it's wealth and the MAGAT's are cheering, soon they will pay more for groceries, gas, homes and just about everything. the stock market are plummeting and they are cheering and loosing their jobs because of DOGe, Canada need to fight back (and we will) even harder and make the red states pay against their products and services and farmers, it's not against the american people but the illegal tariffs, stay strong ??

I find myself (United States Citizen) cheering for any country imposing tariffs on the United States. Put the largest shit stain (excuse my language) on Trump's presidency. It is the only way his brainwashed followers will understand. Make things expensive and make them think twice about who they voted for. I would absolutely love for them to be able to watch this and understand, but they have been brainwashed since 2016. The only thing that will be real to them, is the impact on their finances. If you do that, the 2026 midterms will be an absolute wave of republican seats flipping Democrats.

Disrespect this man is shown by calling our president by his first name we gonna keep them tariffs all you Trudeau to you’re out of office scumbag

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.

I can only hope that Europe and the UK will not wait, but choose for a preemptive tariff. This way in total $1.5 trillion of US business will be hit, in a combined strike of China, Mexico, Canada and the EU. This Bullshit of Trump has to stop.

I always thought trump is the Manchurian candidate . Slowly destroying within . Just surprised or not that ordinary American can’t figure that out. Trudeau was never have a good approval rating and now he have resigned from his party soon that he rating suddenly gone up because of this tariff. Good luck American . Stay strong Canadian , time to trade with eu

Like dude… magas, you voted for him go pay them tariffs

Why this nato leader quack just try and blame Russia and china for American tariffs on Canada this news channel is talking about tariffs and for some reason the topic of fearmongering Russia and china \nMr nato leader quack everyone who is well informed on what Putin and Russia want you clearly don’t so educate yourself

Worst thing that ever happened to Canada is this fool! Not the tariffs.

Someone had to tell him straight ‘ Trump u dumb F*ck’ ? \nraising unrealistic tariffs

You should have implemented all the tariffs.

Drug use in America, particularly the fentanyl crisis, is a significant issue that requires attention from the government. If American citizens weren't using fentanyl, the demand for it in the market would decrease. However, during his administration, Trump often shifted responsibility for problems rather than addressing them directly. Additionally, the tariffs he implemented had widespread negative effects, impacting people both domestically and globally for the benefit of his administration.

the tariffs are to pay for taxcuts to the billionaire class

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Well done Canada from your brothers and sisters across the pond. Naturally this is the only reciprocal response to such tariffs by adding ones of your own so I am not sure what Trump aims to gain from this.

If tariffs are dumb why does Canada have them

Canada deserves all the tariffs slapped in it's face for being the loyalest lapdog of the US and for all the crimes it has committed on behalf of the US.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

You must pay your fair share. We can't pay 25% tariffs, and you pay 5%. You are taking advantage of us.

Canadians will be sorry.should have taken your unfair tariffs off

Trudeau, there's just one thing you need to do: scrap the tariffs on Chinese-imported EVs and impose a 100% duty on all American cars and EVs.

I’m not a Trudeau fan by any means, but he’s handling this very well and I support him and the retaliating tariffs.

CANADA OUR POPULATION IS ABOUT 38 MILLION THIS TARIFF IS NOT GOING TO IMPACT MUCH.

How is imposing a 25% tariff helping the canadian people exactly? Except making us pay even more in an already hard inflation context. \nYour own ego is blinding you, Trudeau.

so he was against canadians at the trucker convoy now he is for canadians he is nauseating. funny how people are saying trump started a tariff war when he is just calling everyone out on their shit love it

What a crock of shit. We pay 10\ntimes the tariffs on exports to Canada as they have paid the US. Now it’s an equal playing field and he’s whining and lying like he always does.

Trump will shut down the tariffs, and call it a success.

Could the money we get from the tariffs go to help Canadians?

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

What a bunch of bullshit. I thought you welcome business with China! You are a hypocrite and that’s why USA should do a 100 percent tariff so that you can understand what true neighbor means

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

Many, many US citizens are with you and support Canada. Trump is creating this tariff war in a unilateral fashion. We do not support it, we don’t want it and our economy doesn’t demand it. These are foolish decisions made by an unscrupulous businessman turned politician.

As an American the citizens don't really have a choice on what trump decides to do. If you want to match his 25% tariffs I think you should. We qlso don't want to help putin hurt others. We want to work with Canada our allies. I don't personally know anyone that doesn't agree with this but that doesnt meant they do not exost.

If you weren't such as a$$ ,you would clean our mess up in Canada, & the tariffs would go away.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting everyone!! Utterly ridiculous! We need our allies and friends just like they need us. These tariffs are jeopardizing our freedom or economy and our security!!!

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

All those comments praising justin’s speaking…..u do realize this is a former drama teacher doing a bad drama and reading a script someone else wrote? This guy systematically drowned the economy and pushed left wing ideology at the cost of everything. Trump is overreacting but Justin’s acting to get a image makeover here. Canadians dont like tariffs imposed but understand that Justin’s idiocracy is also to blame.

I’m American and I believe In Equal Tariffs … You charge 20 we should charge 20 but if you want to go higher I feel sure PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Will play your game to ..

Bravo! You should make tariffs 50% for USA.

Anybody thinking that Trump is doing all this Tariff with our allies in support of some corrupt nonsense with Russia and it has nothing to do with money or drugs.

Just curious, currently (before Trump's Tariffs) how much TARIFFS does Canada pay for American goods and how much TARRIFS does America pay for Canadian goods? If Trump is increasing TARIFFS more than Canada, then that's sad.

It’s pretty cut and dry stop the fentanyl from traveling through your country, it’s pretty simple. Add funding to your customs department and the tariffs will stop. Trudeau why are you talking didn’t you resign?

Can you Canadians maybe ask your King to have his other countries put tariffs on us down here in the US? What's the point of having one if you don't ask him for a little help when bad guys come after you. My country needs to learn a lesson and the faster it happens, the less pain there is for everyone.

Maybe if Trudeau didn’t assist illegals (and fentanyl) flowing into our country we wouldn’t put tariffs on Canada. MAGA

Canada put in place 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, so what’s wrong with US put in place 25% tariffs on Canadian made goods?

Trump should now put 50% tariffs on him whilst he’s there. He’s merely a WEF puppet

I don't like Trudeau. I don't like what he did to Canada in advancing a ridiculous far left agenda however I also don't believe the tariffs employed by Trump were the correct thing to do. Mexico and China, yes. Canada, no!
