I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

We need to impeach trump and JD . He has turned its back on our allies and made friends with dictators. I feel bad for Americans that did not vote for trump.

Good to see Trudeau set the tone cos Mexico needs to set the same tone and the EU should be equally harsh in its terms. Trump is starting a trade war with Allies while cozying up to Putin. Putin must be laughing watching this. How much the world has changed for Putin. Trump is doing everything Putin wants and more.

This is true leadership! Support for Canada… Trump cabinet needs to get it together…

He needs to do what he can to ruin Trump! But there are also stupid voters that aren't going to change their mind about the idiot? They can suffer too. Since it will hurt red states more. ???

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

I like how all the PMs feel the need to compliment Trumps “smarts” and how often Trump calls other people “not smart” or “low IQ”. He must be very insecure about his intelligence, I wonder if he was bullied at school for being a dum dum.

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

Looking at these comments about trump is mind blowing. Canada and all the other countries are not going to pay for our national debt!!! It’s freaking stupid to say you stand with Canada and you didn’t vote for this. . . Canada is barely hanging on too. It’s America that has been carrying all these countries for far too long and what are they giving back???!! You people need to fully understand the reality of the situation before commenting your nonsense. If anything, leave our country!! You people came here and took it from us!! Remember that!

The mistake is thinking that Trump is operating by economic principles with public well being in mind. He's satisfying his narcissistic needs. Everything he does is for aggrandizement, demonstration of power and sadism. Everything Trump does makes sense from the point of view of a malignant narcissist sociopath. He has skills as a manipulator and is a moron at everything else.

Dont you all realize that what we are doign is equalling the percentage as they do to us , yes everyone has there opinions but the fact that we as a country goes and helps other countries but when we have a president that really cares, and bet none of you do your studys on these issues, see you all go day by day with out a clue on whats going on , its ok for other countries to take advantage of us and hurt us but its ok right its ok for countrys to hurt us as thte same for democratic leftys its ok to hurt us, i say hell no its not ok , for once in are life we need to help the Americans period , grow up people seriously grow up , trump is doing what should have been done a long time ago , biden did to much damage to much

Ia m American and saddened b Trumps action.He needs tobe imoeach and kicked out of office. Amwricans lets be the frist time in history and we got the reasons to remove a president.

It needs to be said, Trump is an an idiot.

US Army Veteran, we need to remove Trump and impeach him. He is a traitor to democracy.

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

THE WAY FOR THE ANTI CHRIST IS BEING PREPARED. THE ANTI-CHRIST NEEDS A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT SYSTEM ENFORCED BY AI. TRUMP IS TEARING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO BUILD A NEW SYSTEM FOR THE ANTICHRIST TO BE KING ( TEMPORARILY) UNTIL JESUS CHRIST RETURNS. THE BIBLE IS UNFOLDING

How does the War end Trudeau, without taking with to Putin. Trudeau needs this fight to remain in power… BS get to the table, not talking potshots at Trump…

America needs Trudeau, not trump .

Trump plzz STOP this ridiculous trade war man! Tariffs are fun... for complete idiots but real businessmen do NOT do this especially to your biggest costumers. Be friends! Stop needless wars life is already really hard enough with all the shite going on atm, there is no need to make it even harder. Plzz just stop it! Before it is too late!

I am American, and I can say God bless Canada. We need help from other countries fighting Trump and this administration because our corrupt court system and Republicans are out of control.

The sane people here in the USA support you 100% And we are Anti-tRump also. and tRump is NOT a smart person, he is a spoiled 6 year old that needs to be sent to his room

Trudeau needs to call Trump out as THE RUSSIAN AGENT as soon as he leaves office.\nAs soon as he's a private citizen he needs to do this in order to ram home to the US population that THE RUSSIAN AGENT is in the Whitehouse.

Dont worry Canadians, give Trump 1 or 2 Weeks and EU is this war too. And this will hurt the orange guy more than he can take. BTW we would take your energy <3 We dont need that dumb country.

Remember knowone voted for Trump, Elon musk voted him in! USA needs to investigate!

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

Traitor Trump needs to be impeached.\nImmediately!!!

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

Stop acting surprised by Trump's actions and treat him as the Russian asset traitor he is. Impeachment does not work, stronger action is needed to save our nation.

We stand with you president trump! Canada, Ukraine, Israel, ect ect do not control us. We don't need you, you need us. Time for you to get that through your heads.

Trump is trying to destroy the US and we need to get him out of office.

Let all nice Americans come to Canada ??. You need to leave Trump as he is a wannabe dictator.

As an American who detests Trump and his trolling and tariffs and deranged behavior, do whatever you need to do. Cut off electricty and critical supplies.

Trump campaigned for months that these tariffs would take place if certain border issues were not fixed. All Trudeau did was appoint a buddy as border czar and did nothing else. He needs to go away ....

The Democrats are making a good move responding to Trump's speech tonight with a moderate Senator that has foreign policy and defense credentials and common sense, Democrats need to start building their own coalition of the willing with the few Republicans that may help stop this power hungry delusional narcissist

As a European I would welcome Canada to join the EU a far more stable country, my absolute preference. The USA meddles in politics worldwide and we need to be independent of the US. The Trump administration is represented by incompetent individuals!

TRUMP #1 USA #1 THEY NEED US MORE LMAO TRUMP!!!!!!!! #1 USA #1!!!!!!!! ALL THIS B.S. THEY HAVE LEGAL CRACK AND HERION AND METH LMAO CANADA IS COOKED...

TRUMP launched this trade war. NOT the American people. But we, true and patriotic Americans, who denounce Trump need our allies to stand firm against Trump - even if it hurts us. The only way for us to be able to take Trump down is to convince his supporters that he is wrong and that his actions are destroying America.

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

Justin, hit us hard dude. We need to wake up the Maga heads and if that means being hurt then I'll take that vs continue trumps BS

I'm so glad he called Trump Donald and not president. Trump smart???? Now you are just flattering him. Everyone needs to stop flattering trump, licking his ass, and kissing his ring.

So one need to stand up to the trump bullying

Trump is a Traitor to America he needs to be impeached his love affair with Putin is sickening .his orange minions are all brainwashed.

Here's my advice. Get as far away from Trump's influence as possible. He's unstable, chaotic, and easily influenced by his ultra-right wing advisers Musk and Vance. That won't change. The whole world needs to isolate him. He is COVID25 !

We don't need Trump for a deal with Ukrain,,we need\nMake a deal with China,,atleast u can trusth them,,they don't betraye their country neighter their friends

When are people going to wake up and realize that Trump is a Russian asset he is doing what he is told to do. He is not for America. He is an enemy of America. Everything that he is doing is to benefit. Russia wake up people he is a treasonous lying fraud, and he needs to be in jail. He needs to be removed immediately

Trump is a problem to the developed countries but a bitter blessing to the third world countries. Look at African countries they have everything that nature can provide they are capable of standing on their two F... Foot but the US has been like a mother who doesn't want to let her kids walk by there own feet. The US has been dishing the African countries with chocolate that doesn't benefit them with anything this is the biggest course of poverty in Africa. They need to get away from the USA and the rest of the developed countries so that they can create a better African for their people. Trump please cut them all out cut the relationship so that this countries may elect a proper president without the developed countries planting their puppets. Please let them go for once

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NOT TAKE NO INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ANY WAY OR FORM WITHOUT YOU ALL PAY FULL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR COMMENTS. FROM CANADA. AND WE DONT NEED TO COMMENTS OF SUPPORT IN ANY WAY OF FORM FROM NA OTHER COUNTRIES POLITICOS OR PRESIDENTES OR ANY LEADER . WE SUPPORT ARE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PERIOD. FK YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS OR ADVICE .MR. CANADA LEADERS.

Here's my advice. Get as far away from Trump's influence as possible. He's unstable, chaotic, and easily influenced by his ultra-right wing advisers Musk and Vance. That won't change. The whole world needs to isolate him. He is COVID25 !

This ONLY makes sense if you're looking to destabilise an economy which in the case of America will cause a global chain reaction... What more does Trump need to do before his spineless party call him out?\n\nLiterally everything Trump has done since 2016 has worked to the direct benefit of Russia and AGAINST the interests of America and its historic allies... Occam's Razor.
