I stand with America and Trump، I believe it is the time to have a leadership to show up these countries such as Canada and Europe to depend on themselves without Americans

Trudeau is hated by Canadians. He is no hero. These tariffs make Trump look stupid. Isn't that what Trudeau was saying by calling it a dumb thing to do? It is time for Trudeau to actually resign and leave politics for good.

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

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!

We are always friends with Great Canada. I dont control Trump. And so i wont dont want jail. I say I am so sorry as an American. I won't go into details to why some to why so many Americans think that they can go back in time. Some and many Americans think they are entitled. I cannot say so sorry for something I am not responsible for. I remembered a time when Hitler's friends blamed & they blamed incessantly.

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

I think it's wrong with United States doing. Bowling in Canada.. what's the dumbest thing he can do to our neighbor Canada that's been with us for many years had our backs and War and hard times in our history. I just think it's wrong what they're doing to Canada.. Donald Trump is very stupid..!!

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

It's not a tarrifs war. This is a false flag. Trump is someone wanting and envying a dictatorship role and has the power disease that Hitler, Mussilini, Caligula, Putin, Kim Jung Un and the like all have and had until they met their end eventually. All the signs are there and Trump has the habit of bragging about it beforehand. Time to stand up now.

These Trump tariffs are STUPID! YEAH LETS GIVE MEXICO N CANADA OUR FRIENDS 25% BUT ONLY CHARGE CHINA 10% PATHETIC! REVERSE THE TARIFFS NOW! AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

Our closest friend who denied all the leftists when they wanted to escape Trump the first time and move up north

Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order By Ray Dalio. \nAlthough it may seem like Trump is hurting the economy at the time being. He is doing the US economy a long term favor. Nothing personal against our fellow Canadians. We love our allies. But the US needed a Leader like Trump after the Bummy Biden administration. God Bless EVERYONE reading this comment. We will all make it through this.

Probably the most likable Trudeau has been in a long time. Good on Canada. I hope all countries stick it to Trump too. Bullying should never work

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

As an American Donald Trump was a mistake. It's time for the American people to wake up and admit their mistakes. An inflated ego is not good. My fellow American we don't want a president with an inflated ego, who will never admit his mistake. People will definitely die because of this fool of a man. Imagine 5 years or 4 years of this. I can go on for many paragraphs but what's the point since I firmly know that my point will be proven in less than a year. Don't forget the employment rate keeps rising, inflation is rising. No wages increase for the citizens of the country. Medical and Medicaid will be cut as well as social security. Mass layoffs, it's also not easy to get a new job. Well I think we will have to migrate to other countries but that will not help. The only solution is to have him removed from the oval office.

Trump = Trojan . \nI will said it a million times . \nAmerica dark times is coming

Pretty sure Trump will turn it around in 2 weeks time and will say it's Canada that placed the tariffs on US, Mexico, Europe. :) ........ Watch.

When i was younger i traveled the USA from the middle to east coast at least 20 states and had some great times. I could never live in the USA do to difference way of life. I have seen homes in Southern states that still have outhouses. My 1st time witnessing racism was in the Southern states and was shocked. Have not been back to the USA since Trump became President 1st time and now probably never will because of the politics. Glad I did then many good memories

You leftists whining about Trump only have yourselves to blame. You voted for Biden/Harris and thats what your party put forth as the best candidates.\n\nThey failed so bad that the majority of the country went with a better choice. Blame your party to put up better candidates next time.

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.

Unfortunately Trump see it as no fair trade all this time. ?

One would have to search for a long time to find a more stupid person than Donald Trump. Calling him a dipshit is insulting to dipshits.

This is the first time I’ve seen a U.S. president flattering the Russians. Trump, do you think you’re worthy of President Reagan? Worthy of the many Americans who helped bring down the Soviet Union?

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

All Trump wants from Canada is for it to be fair. If they can’t do that then it’s time to react.

Trump has always been a conman and malignant narcissist. But now add dementia into the mix so his decisions are based on partial info because he’s forgotten the rest of it. His judgement is worse with dementia. His copilot, Musk, is on Ketamine all the time so his judgement, as we’ve already seen, is not to be trusted either.

This guy is funny at one time; he ran to Trump, and Trump told him to take a hike, and now he's just about to lose his job, and he's acting all brave.

Dear Canadian neighbors. \n I apologize for our crazy Karen’s trump and musk. \n Please be patient. \n I think we will both come through this in the long run. \n You are so lucky to have a President who cares for ALL OF YOU. \n A REAL MAN, not a BULLY. \n This will indeed be tough times for all of us. \n God Bless God Speed\n from USA

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

Trudeau’s time to shine. Despite the circus in Canadian parliament and Trump politics, he is standing proud and strong for the Canadian, American, and even Mexican people due to unacceptable action- cost of living is now greater and scarier.

As an American, living in Trump's America, I appreciate an articulate, sensible explanation. Additionally thank you for expressing more care & empathy for Americans than our own POTUS. I hope we will all make it through this uncertain & frightening time.

Trump promised to lower prices on Day 1. His strategy is to lie so many times that he can never be held accountable for a single one

I've had a boss like Trump and a boss like Trudeau. The first like Trump yelled, complained, and whined over the smallest problems. The team, including himself, were miserable all the time. The second like Trudeau made the hardest problems easy to manage. He led, was transparent, and prioritized solutions over blame. I'm currently working for the latter and it's been multiple years of success. No one from the first team stuck around to sink with the ship.

Trump is embarrassing our country daily. American citizens rise up, now is the time.

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

All of these other countries should have no problem looking for and finding other trade partners. The US on the other hand will have a more difficult time and may not be successful given recent history. Trump has set the bridges on fire and is laughing (or golfing) as they burn.

Time for good people to take a stand against this darkness of Trump, Putin, Vance and Musk!! God is watching and they shall reap what they sow!!\nWe must ALL turn to our Saviour Christ Jesus who is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Him.❤??????????????????????

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

Blistering speech? Literal propaganda. I’m praying for leftists to learn how to spot propaganda. It’s so mind boggling. Trump makes speeches thousands times better yet Hes “incoherent”. If trump cured cancer they would say “cancer rights matter!”

I think TRUMP is a Russian spy planted LONG TIME AGO.

I don’t know why so many people in this country didn’t educate themselves about Trump. This was so predictable. This is the business practice of someone who has gone bankrupt six times, a hot head who just doesn’t think ahead or listen to common sense.

This situation is far worse for Canada than for the U.S. Trudeau knows this. History is being made. I would say this will be viewed either as one of the smartest political moves by a U.S president, or perhaps one of the dumbest. Time will tell. One thing I would say is never underestimate president Trump. Every time he has been undermined, underestimated, and disregarded he has came back on top. Welcome to 2025

Impeach Trump and all our troubles go away.Trump is a Russian “plant”. I believe it started during Putins first visit to the USA 20/30 years ago!\n\nI watched Trump the first time Putin visited the US and was on tv -Trump was in aw of Putin ( a murdering Thug). I truly believe Trump is a plant for Putin. He should be impeached immediately! Trump is fan of Putin a murdering thug. Trump is must go!

Look at all these liberals in the comments section lol Trump is only doing what Canada has been doing to us for a lot time. Now you want to cry about it lol

While Canadians' outrage over Trump's policies is still understandable, we now witness Americans who ought to stand with their president choose to support this hypocritical person, Trudeau, who has persecuted and still persecutes many of his fellow citizens, including truck drivers and anti-vaccine activists, in the name of freedom of speech. Words cannot adequately describe such behavior. \nIn this terrible time of the U.S. national debt, everyone must be with their president and no one else.

last time he did it everyone complained but biden kept the tariffs and nobody complained signaling to trump that he was right, the real trick is to call it a trade war then they can both raise taxes on their citizens which is exactly what trudeau just did whilst making it look like he's st george off to fight dragons

Trump got bankrupt 6 times, so how do you expect him to run a country's economy? Make that make sense ?

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Yes!! Time to start making American goods again!! Go Trump!
