I want prices to go down as much as anyone; but I do not want to hurt the citizens in our allied countries or any countries for that matter. Many presidents have tried this many times and have failed. Why does Trump believe he won’t? I love my country but I hope these European and American allies hold strong against Trump. Trump is a liar!

As a US citizen. I didnt vote for this atrocity. I suggest that Canada join with Mexico. Maybe between your 2 countries. You can get through to the MAGA cult. Believe me. We have all tried. They are still very deep in their delusions.

I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER put any value in what Trudeau has to say about anything! Isn’t he the pot calling the kettle black. I believe when truckers had something to say was it not Trudeau who instead of listening to his citizens did he not freeze truckers personal bank accounts. Doesn’t he alway have his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an A for effort but to wage war financially or physically with America will be the single worst knee jerk reaction anyone has made. America isn’t trying to wage a war. Our purpose is to get as many countries off of our nipple as possible. We pay so much as citizens. Hopefully Trudeau changes his thought process.

You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.

Trump is a stable genius. Don't believe me? Just ask him. The same guy who threatened lawsuits against his college and high school to prevent them from revealing his grades.

No it's not about fentanyl!!! He makes stuff up trying to make people believe it's true.

You have to know that the majority of us DO NOT support Trump. Many don’t even believe he honestly won the election. We are disgusted and angry. I call my representatives daily. I’m not sure it makes any difference. I have ceased buying from every company who has given him money. I protest. The republican senators and congressmen are corrupt and traitors. Our Supreme Court is in his pocket. So many of us don’t know how to stop him. He is the devil incarnate!

We don't want this either CANADA....not all of us are idiots that believe a bunch of false promises....some of us Americans know there's no winner in tariffs ...rather it's the consumers that lose most....there's better ways to earn Respect for our country

I dont believe you anything Trudeau WEF puppet. I believe trump, that you already tax us unfair since years...

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

I can't believe I'm siding with Trudeau, but he is right. The USA cannot afford to mistreat its allies. Such a disgrace!

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

Countries around the world believe they will be better served by appealing to the American people rather than appealing to Trump.

Sorry #PMTrudeau. I believe like me, most Americans are not aligned with our POTUS. Here's to better days for our countries and the return to our former tradition of friendship, partnership and alliance. ????????????

Hard to believe we Canadians have to deal with your f***ing problems.

This will be the natural course of things going forward. Regardless of which political party is in power, you have Satan at the controls. Look at the corruption and social and economic disasters created by the previous government. Now you have someone in power who is going to go to extremes in the opposite direction. Why has it come to this? We are here because we regected God and made money and materialism our God that we worship and bow down to. A sick government is an indication of a sick society. The roots of Western culture is founded on Love and fear of God. That is grossly eroding away. Is there hope for a better future; a better life? Yes. Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross and rose again on the third day. For by the Grace of God who sent his only begotten son to shed his blood for you, your sins are forgiven if you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Only faith and righteous living will pull us back from the brink of destruction. ❤

Those who voted for the orange goblin will also pay the price. What u thought the orange goblin gave a fuck about your vote lol. How fucking stupid of u. Hard to believe it's just getting started. All of us are going to pay more.

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

Thats billionaire doing what they do best have us believe they are doing us a favor! I'm happy to say I didn't vote for him ever because I've experienced them to much in my life. All the fraud money won't be giving back to americans they will keep it for all the money he lost from being sued

This has been the low point in our country. I know there were other times in our history when the people didn't understand or not agree with the president, but every single time the president would explain to the people why he did what he did just like any person in that capacity. I have been on this Earth for over 65 years and this is the first time that I am appalled at what this idiot is doing. I cannot believe that over 50% of voters elected this buffoon all because they believed his idiotic campaign promises! Any normal minded individual knew as soon as he said these things that if he is elected, we were going to be in big trouble.

Liar47 is implementing these tariffs thinking he can mislead and/or convince putin/russians to overlook all u.s transgressions against russia since the early nineties and work as a friend of the usa...\nThis is a quintessential example of the danger of believing what you think and/or your own narrative outcome... \n This liar47 created western dog and pony show is transparent to the non-european world...\nNEWS FLASH to all western players in this game... a] russia will never be a western world ally or trusted friend--it would be fatal, b] russia will not betray brics nations, c] russia will not stop selling military weapons and essential support to natural resource rich southern hemisphere nations...\nIt's a fools objective spearheaded by the genius-in-charge...

Yall remember what they said in rick and Morty?! How do you topple a government?! By turning a 01 into a 00!! Smh!! I believe the powers that be, is trying to make way for another country to take the lime light from us!! And that thought is very very scary!!

Good for you!! I'm so sorry :-( he doesn't represent what we believe here in this home

American here and I HEAR YOU !!! Can’t believe we voted for trump !! Just sad !!!

CNN is bullshit and Canada ?? President is also bullshit! I do not believe!

as a seattle resident. canada is a great place but ran completely as a bureaucracy gov. \nthis is the same guy who shut down cities, took peoples money from there account,tore small businesses apart and went after who had a different opinion. there is so much more to the story. \ni would believe any this guys says

Trudeau: “I can’t believe you’ve done this” \nAlso Trudeau: “I’m going to do it too”

His 1st three letters is the same as trump 1st 3 letters i don't believe anything he says i believe this is all set up on purpose to start war on the blacks in the USA

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

Can’t believe they voted this man in

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

I no longer believe there is anything Trump could do to deter his supporters. He’s openly aligning with dictators and bullying our allies, dismantling checks and balances and consolidating power, even talked about a third term?! Everyone in the government going along with him clearly has dollar signs in their eyes and a “if you can’t beat him, join him” mentality. Sorry Canadians. If you’re worried, I promise we are too. At least I am.

Many people took up his Trumps cause. I do believe that Mexico should endure the tariffs but not Canada!

Don’t believe this guy for a min, typical 2-face politician, he’s putting on an act, he’s not authentic

I stand with Trump but… I do not agree with the tariffs on Canada. I do not believe this is a good decision.

This guy is a “leader” and believes the US should have chosen their president based off race and sex

I think this is because of the free amount of billions you get from the USA with nothing in return. Nothing so why should we help! Why is some of your government talking to Trump privately about joining the USA as another state. I believe this will happen!

So trump believes in Taxes...I thought he was a republican.

I bet Donald is the king pin of fent….i can’t stand him. His name was on Jeffery’s list….? can’t believe ppl still like him after everything he’s done sigh….

Justin, you are a treasonous, lying, globalist PoS! I cant wait to vote your ass out in a couple months. No one believes your crappy acting.The charade is over.

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

Dear Americans, this man you call intelligent, is stepping down due to how much suffering he has caused this country, and no I’m not a right wing trump jock rider; I believe trump is a fascist, which is very clear by his expansionist ambitions, and his attempt at forcing my country into submission

Is fix it news going to show this ? Even if they do trumpsters believe a pathological liar

No body believes that Putin is a killer in comparison to Canada. You are accomplice in killing of millions of non white people in Iraq Libya Afganistan and many other places.

It's really hard to believe how this Putin managed to plant his seed right in the heart of USA.

Can't believe one single word at a Trudeau's mouth what a communist dictator

As an American, I am so embarrassed… I cannot believe everything going on. I’m disgusted with that orange man, his cabinet. I want to throw up every time I see politics right now. What shame. ?

Now COMPLETELY OFF Subject. BUT This is a BIG Problem. When the US V.Pres. BELIEVES MY Country UK. HAS NOT Been any armed Conflict, within the Past 30-40xYrs. AND LETS Just say Politly HE NO'S ABS J/S! As Just 1x Armed incident (N.Ireland Troubles). Was 1969-1994/5. SO basically he No:s F-ALL! So UR President IS AS FAKE As the Orange Peel on his skin.
