Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Go Go Go Canada!l kick donald's ass!! he is such a scum bag!

It will be tough for both sides, the US and Canada. But the Canadian government has its people's support, while the majority of US citizens do not support Trump and his government. The US will be a sad, lonely planet in the middle of the world. Shame!

We love canada from ??

One of the best speeches I've heard in a very long time and the facts are eye opening and all should be worried as there will be no winner and Canada will never be the 51st State. ❤❤❤.

We don’t want this either! And he did! I didnt vote for him, and I understand why Canada has to do what they have to do

It makes me sad because my girlfriend is Canadian, and I love Canada as an American.

Real Americans back Canada, that idiot is not representing Americans in total. Keep fighting CANADA! Keep FIGHTING! As a disenchanted American i am disgusted by this idiot.

It will hurt Americans much, much more than Canadians. This is what you need to realize: Canadians are much tougher than Americans. The rest of the world backs Canada. We have your energy. More than 60 per cent.

They looked scared as hell. Trudeau is like a vindictive fired employee who steals and damages stuff before leaving. People like him are why many companies have security escort them out when they leave. Canada is going to suffer just so this wimp can feel like he stood up to Trump. He isn't even in a position to negotiate anymore. He's just causing his country more pain for no reason. Typical socialist. Whole lot of people in the comments don't understand the numbers. Canada has zero chances to win a trade war. Many Canadian businesses are already moving to the US.

Thank you everybody who is not Canadian that is supporting Canada. You really see us thank you.

That’s ok I don’t need anything from Canada

I wish I could meet this guy. He’s awesome! Long live Canada! Americans support you!??????????????

I wish I were in Canada right now.

Trump is an idiot we WILL get him and his toadies out , Michigan looses if Canada looses….

Great strength in Trudeau and in Canada. If the Mexicans and the Eurpeans stand strong, Trump will not be able to handle it. They must not be divided. Trump is weak in the face of that

Trudeau can’t even manage Canada . So….

As a Canadian ?? I want to thank the Amaracians ?? that are showing support for Canada ??

Many of the Americans in these comments now claiming to stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, etc, are the same ones responsible for this mess by voting that unhinged orange demon and his circus of nitwits into office ??

Why Canada?\nI can see Mexico but Canada.\nNO. NO, NO, NOT CANADA

Canada is hurting themselves not the U.S. it’s going to backfire on them.

So sorry, Canada ?? ? ? ?

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

U.S. Army combat veteran and I stand with Canada.

Go our dear friends and neighbors of Canada! (A 5th generation Texan here depressed by what we have become.) Trump does not care, his paycheck is from our tax money and he will just file another personal bankruptcy if he needs to do so, because he is so good at business (not).

He seems to understand the US economy better than that of his country Canada

We stand with Canada ?? ?

You are the only one who fked up Canada so shut up!!!

You mean Canada's leader doesn't wear orange makeup and vomit forth unending lies? What a strange place Canada must be!

We stand with Canada

Canada has the weakest courts in the free world. Thanks to Trudeau canada is a third world country. He also likes rent boys and cocaine.

Thanks Justin. As a 64 year old Montrealer I remember when you were born. I even met your Dad a couple of times. Well done. Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada ??

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

As an American I am with Canada! I am embarrassed by Donald!

I’m with Canada ?? period ??

This is almost political interference from Canada trying to attack trump over this and to try and turn Americans against each other. Most Canadians will tell you this guy needs to go.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

Most of us did not vote for this! We recognize your predicament and do not blame you for having to implement like tariffs! Keep Canada strong. Most of America is behind you including me.

I'm so frustrated, Trump said he wants CANADA to be the fifty first state so we can have all those precious minerals . He said it on tv

This guy going to ruin canada economically .....

Trudeau is a SNAKE. I don't trust him. Keep at it Mr. Trump. We are done being taken advantage of. Trudeau knows exactly that he is not protecting his borders and Fentanyl is leaking across into the US. Don't get me wrong. Canadiens are great people. But Trudeau is a snake. I can't wait for him to leave your government Canada.

Canada has to PROTECT THEMSELVES AFTER TRUMP/MUSK disclosed themselves to be TRAITORS OF THE USA, PURSUING PUTIN & OPEC NATIONS to make themselves maga-wealthy & HARM USA, RAISE $ PER BARREL & RETURN TO EVENTUAL OIL RATIONING IN USA -HISTORY TAUGHT US

Canada doesnt have much production at home. they will be getting goods from Europe now and other countries paying on the top more then 40% just for logistical purposes . Canadians... everything will come from your own pocket. Think about it.

Way to go Canada ??. I don't think the U.S. needs to worry about immigration but Canada - you might need to build a wall for the mass exodus from states.

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

From Portugal, go Canada!

This will hurt Americans more than it will hurt Canadians because they have allies. And Canada still on the British rule in somewhat.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

Why does Canada get a reasonable, articulate and TRUTH-telling Prime Minister when we are stuck with and disgraced by a delusional buffoon? God help American; our President certainly is helping America or Americans.
