Tit for tat. If you want to get rid of tariffs let's get rid of tariffs on your side and that's all of your tariffs that you have implemented on our products for years. Bridges leveling the playing field. So it's okay for you to impose tariffs on others but not for us to impose tariffs just like you do to us

Wanna know who is the Winner in this Tariff War? Your decade common enemy are laughing right now....

All Trump asked them do was protect their border and now we’re having a trade war with tariffs ?

Canada has no tariffs on US goods today?

If tariffs are so bad then why is Trudeau imposing them on his own people ?

How I understand it is that the Canadian? Government has been charging the US\nTariffs. Trump is charging them a reciprocal tariff. When Trudeau takes away his tariffs then the US will take away theirs. Uncomplicate the complicated. ?✌️Fair is fair.

Cost of groceries go up\nCost of gas goes up\nStocks decreasing\nBuilding costs go up \n\nHow exactly are Tariff’s a wise decision? Make it make sense Trump.

Poland ?? here as well. It absolutely does not make sense for the US to impose those tariffs. Europe is supporting you Canada!

Good on you Canada, Australia supports your standing up to Trump. He has even hit Australia with tariffs on steel and Aluminium. Trump is a criminal and a traitor to his country.

He tells everyone how stupid the tariffs are then enacts his own on behalf of Can-a-duh. Don't worry, eh. Statehood is coming and you won't have any tariffs.

You shouldn’t have started clowning Trump saying you and Mexico avoided tariffs by doing only what you had already committed to do. I’m sure that got under his skin. ??‍♀️

As a Canadian im surprised people complain about trumps tariffs because of politics but keep their mouth shut on the carbon tax.

Trudeau was supposed to secure the border of fentanyl trafficking he did not do this \nIt's his fault if we get tariffs

Trump wants to put these tariffs on so his rich US friends can buy the Canadian businesses for pennies on the dollar and then remove the tariffs and they become even richer! that's all it is. Its nothing to do with fentanyl. Its all money for trump and business.

Ok Trudeau, if Canada is implementing a tariff as well does that mean Canadian will also stop paying taxes like Trump is doing in the US?

All these tariffs are related to fentanyl right ? ???

He put tariff on CIA and FBI when he had a news conference with putin by throwing Americans under the bus

If it is a receptacle tariff. Takes Canada off and our will be off. Simple and fair

Canada already charges tariffs on US products, Trump is just leveling the playing field, you charge we charge, you don't buy our products, we don't buy your products.

100% tariffs on Tesla (DEVIL Elon musk) too

So Canada agree to spend over one billion and still get slapped to the face with tariffs.\nYou Think Ukraine signed the peace deal with Russia and expect the war to go away?

Ya are stupid lol we as Americans pay those tariffs these countries don't want to pay lol democrats are working ot lol??

I honestly think Trump doesn’t know how tariffs work. His acolytes are too scared to tell him he’s got it wrong saying the exporting countries pay the tariffs, he said it time & again in the campaign & his dumb as a rock MAGA supporters actually beleived him. The media were absolutely derelict in not pushing back on his claims they just kept covering him saying it, & here we are.

Trump drives USA into ditch with his red MAGA hat on. Pathetic. Tariffs are a domestic tax and the GOP raised them. Bunch of Hypocrites!!!

Same 25% tariffs to US devil government. And shut off oil and electric to US too. Let DEVIL trump to know Canadian STAND TOGETHER

There's a trade deficit with Canada.....if you actually think US will be worse in the long run compared to Canada, you would not go on TV like this Trudeau. You would just tariff

Am I missing something here, the United States is at a trade deficit with Canada, why wouldn’t they place tariffs on Canadian goods to equalize that deficit?

So tariffs will prevent Canada from protecting Americans ? That’s not a friend this is politics

Anti-Semitic Jew hater Trudeau has his work cut out for him. Trudeau will likely find some way to blame the Jews for the tariff problems.

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n- Dairy Products:\n- Milk: 270%\n- Cheese: 245%\n- Butter: 298%\n- Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n- Barley: 160%\n- Wheat: 94%\n- Sugar: 265%\n- Peanut Butter: 295%\n- Rice: 150%\n- Vegetables: 100%\n- Fish Products: 100%\n- Lumber: 20%\n- Shoes: 30%\n- Cocoa: 30%\n- Metals: 25%\n- Wool: 30%\n- Tobacco: 100+%

Uh oh... 50% tariffs for calling Donald stupid. He is a very sensitive guy, big mistake!

Hey Mr Trudeau, for your speech to be most effective, please repeat at least ten times, that the republicans are imposing a stiff NEW TAX on Americans. Americans don’t know what a tariff is. It is a TAX and Americans are allergic to that word. Call it a TAX, again and again if you want Americans to dislike it.

God Bless Donald Trump !! The Greatest President Ever !!! KEEP THE TARIFF’S UP !!! They had a choice and they chose to Do Nothing !!!

Didn't you cheer when each time the US slapped tariffs on China? Now you say tariffs make no winners. That's what the Chinese been saying for years, since Trump's first term

Let’s face it, these tariffs have nothing to do with drugs or immigration, they are only meant to force Trumps delusion of Canada becoming the 51st state.

Love that you are giving facts to all Trump’s bullshit reasoning behind his tariffs…oh how I miss the times we had someone in the White House that spoke so eloquently. Mr orange face is an embarrassment to this country.

CNN, is there a reason why you are not equally posting Mexico's response to Trump's tariffs? Mexico is the US'S number one trading partner, and these tariffs will equally effect US consumers. There are now apps that translate from Spanish to English, and subtitles in English that appear at the bottom of the screen. As have been done with other languages on your program

Now the whole world sees that you cannot trust the U.S. Hopefully someone close to Trump will knock some sense into him. This is a bad idea ! After 4 years if high inflation, Trump is making things worse for the poorest with thess tariffs. If the U.S stands alone on the world stage, they will look like stooges because nobody likes a bully.

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

We don't need your products Trudeau. You have been charging tariffs on our products for years. So don't act like this is knew. ?

Canada has been putting tariffs on us goods for a long time !

Canada already has tariffs on the US imports sent to Canada. Why is he crying about being fair by the US charging the same that Canada does to the US? Go to hell.

If tariffs are bad, and it makes things cost more for your citizens. Why would they place tariffs on the United States? Make that make sense?

If Canadians and Americans were friends why were Americans screwed over prior to this tariff war.

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

As a Canadian. We know our prime minister is preventing an election by prologuing parliament. He isn't as great as you think. Our little economy is 1.9 trillion half of California's. Were literally only hurting ourselves here with more taxes. aka tariffs. This guy is playing politics to try to get votes. by rallying up nationalism. Trying to play the hero. He's made our lives unaffordable here in Canada for the last 9 years. Housing food bills. Ethics breaches, Chinese payoffs to his parties politicians, spending Canadians money on his friends. Enough of this guy. Quit delaying our election dictator.

The United States did not place the tariffs: Putin did via tRump.

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

Just a little reminder that a small operator can make all of his own fertilizer and a few chickens and milk cow you won’t even notice any tariffs
