Mr Trump wants to import oil and minerals to help Mother Russia. Everyone knows he doesn’t give a F about fentanyl.

REAL AMERICANS STAND WITH CANADA!!!! NO ONE WANTS PUTIN'S POODLE - lap dog Trump! Money stole the 2024 election! Canada REMAINS OUR FRIENDS!!!

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

Don’t be stupid Trudeau, Trump doesn’t care immigration or Fentanyl from Canada, he wants to finish Canadian economy and invade your land

Trump wants to hear that the Canadian government is going to double its military spending.

Americans understand, unfortunately Canada has no choice but to protect their citizens and their businesses. The fault lies squarely with dictator want-to-be Trump and his corrupt MAGA maggot republican politicians, and those who voted for them ???

600,000 views and only 39,000 likes. Enough said! The people of Canada wanted his resignation, and they got it! My government is doing what is needed to MAGA. So take yourself and your BS and get lost! ❤❤TRUMP MAGA

As a Canadian I stand proudly on guard for my amazing sovereign country ❤ ?? ❤\nWe must protect ourselves from this extremely old, dumb Liar ,bully. Puppet Master want to be dictator, convicted felon, sexual predator and supporter of the war criminal killer, lying and bully Putin and Russia. \n\nI see what's happening to the American people, your constitution and bill of Rights because of trumps and his bunch of thugs administration and this will hurt both Canadian's and every single American, the United States is in great danger because of this deranged very old orange child bully who is in love with dictators. Youre country has been in decline and no longer the great coountry that the United States were. Believe me trump cares nothing for the American people. God bless you as both our countries, Mexico, and all countries are being hurt by trump/ Vance administration. As they support the dictator \nPutin the war criminal and lying bully.\nTrump / Vance are not Peace MAKERS and the war criminal and brutal dictator putin will never stop the war.\nThe world is that much closer to world war 3 because of trump bromance with putin.

It disgusts me so much how stupid the Americans could be to elect this rubbish! At the same time, I learned a lot: I always wondered how the Nazis came to be here - now I know! Lies and shit-talk and people will believe you! It makes me sad and angry that we humans are apparently NOT able to learn. \n \nOnce again, it hits US little people the hardest: Trump, Weidel and all their names are playing golf and denying royally and we are in trouble. \n \nI wonder how much longer we want to watch this?

When does Trudeau leave office? Canadians don't want him. Trump expects more effort at controlling immigration at the Canadian border which Trudeau has not done. He is the reason there is tariffs on Canada today!

We can't get mad at Canada this is exactly what Trump wanted you said once you said 100 times Trump does not give a damn about the American people

We don't want Trump. He sucks

Trump is just trying to emulate Putin..he invaded Ukraine...and so Trump wants to ultimately invade Canada. FDT.

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

Please PM Trudeau, it's not the United States who wants to Trade War, It's Trump and his incompetency. Trump is not thinking about the wellbeing of the Americans......

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!

Can't make our case any better than that Justin Trudeau! Well done! Trump and his minions are ruining America's status as being the leader of the free world. Most American citizens want their country back to the way it was ... leader of the free world. Donald Trump has to be stopped!

Where did Putin get all his money? He stole it from the Russian government. Is Trump putting these tariffs on countries so more money comes into the government so he can steal it like Putin did, he loves Putin and wants to be like Putin. This is highly possible. Given Trumps record of cheating and lying to gain riches I say it is very possible. Trump should be in prison for Jan 6 not counting the 34 felonies he committed.

Trump said that Canada is not a viable country but he wants them to be the 51st state. How does that make sense? From one senile fool President to another.

trump is just using lies to justify whatever he wants. just like putin. should be a big give away what time of person trump is

Does anyone think like I do? Trump wants to show his boss Putin that he can increase his empire by causing hardship to Canadians such that they will beg to join as a 51st state. Fentanoly is just an excuse to claim victimization.

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

We, as a nation, need to get the magaddicted to realize the implications of supporting such a man.. I can't say what I really want to say, bc trump leaning youtube will censor me..\n\nmaga refuses to accept the truth.. this video need to go out to all the far right media and podcasts. The problem is, is that they are all magaddicted..

TO ALL FELLOW CANADIANS. YOU WILL VERY SOON REGRET WANTING TRUDEAU OUSTED. YOU’RE ON THE SAME CRAZY TRAIN AS THE TRUMP VOTERS. Trust me

We (Americans) don’t want this either. Musk and trump are illogically running rampant. We (a good portion of us) want them gone, this was clearly a mistake on us that voted (or didn’t vote). We know trump and musk are liars, ignorant, and corrupt. We as a people have to figure out how to get this nonsense out. And for the record no I’m not a liberal and no I’m not a conservative. I see the pros and cons of both sides and both sides have beliefs I agree with and some I don’t.

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

If only Canada wasn’t so cold. I’d love to live there. America is soooooo dysfunctional. Good luck weathering this Trump-storm my Canadian friends. I think it’s clear Trump just wants power and doesn’t care about any of us.?

Justin you realize this is all Trump wanted? You to get off your butt and be an ally like we need when youre the trade country that is our ally. You stepped up finally, goodjob

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

We need to stop Trump doing this... he turn our country into something that we dont want!

The tariffs are just the first step, Trump wants Canada to become a 51 country

Trump is kissing Putin's ass. He want's to be seen as a tough dictator like Putin. Time to run the Natzis out of the WhiteHouse

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

Trump wants to make America great again. Well, he has a strange way of doing it its time

It seems that Trump wants to destroy Western society at record speed. He feels closer to dictators and oligarchs than to our democracies. I believe he hates democracy and feels more comfortable siding with murderers and dictators. If no one stops him, this man could be responsible for the destruction of Europe, Canada, and even his own country.

We had nothing to do with Donald Trump mess we don't want war

Trump wants us to be slaves

Ya wanted a business man??? There you go Trump voters!!! Enjoy what comes next! You all have been warned by the DEI lady!! You all joined the disrespectful bs hate game with Trump by knocking her down! Now some of you are begging for our help!! You all are a disgraced to our country!!! ?

Why is everyone tiptoeing around the real reason for these tariffs? Trump has made no secret of his true motivations. He wants to absorb Canada into the USA so he can exploit it's abundant natural resourses, redirect fresh water across the border and give their military free reign of the arctic regions of the country. Any and all other justifications and excuses he comes up with are little more than window dressings

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

Trump like Putin is making enemies all over the world, he wants to be a dictator well you’ll be treating like a dictator.

His name is Pres Trump and not Donald asshole. if you join ukraine to insult the us. if you refuse to do what the us wants you to do,the us will deal with you accordingly. save all these speech. if you call it a trade war. so be it.canada has aligned itself with european if americans are stupid enough to think that they were friends under trudeau then you are stupid.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Trump wants Canada and that will not happen. Canadians will look after each other and fight the USA

Jan 6 Russian Elected Dictator Trump wants Canadian Resources like everywhere else ! ?

Trump wants to weaken the USA because he works for PutinTrump's behavior resembles that of a KGB agentTrump wants to turn the USA into North Korea. Stupid people are easier to govern. That's why he doesn't want to invest in education.Trump wants to turn the USA into North Korea. Stupid people are easier to govern. That's why he doesn't want to invest in education.

It was dictator Trump who rewrote the free trade agreement when he was in power before. Now, this dictator is going against what he SIGNED, which is against world law. But this dictator wants the USA to have a Russia style government in the USA.

Trudeau can't promise to subsidize the Canadian factories that will shut down and the jobs that will forever be lost if Canada shuts down deliveries... HE WON'T BE IN POWER... The fact that Trudeau insinuated that President Trump is taking Putins side in the Ukraine war is insulting insulting insulting !!! President Trump wants PEACE...HE WANTS TO STOP THE DYING.. President Trump has a peaceful solution.. NO MORE BLOODSHED AND DEAD BODIES.
