Canada should trade with EU and Asia.

Canada already has jas insane tarriffs on us. Now they complain because they get treated the same. Trade over seas canada and get even less money LMAO

Vive le Quebec LIBRE! aujourd'hui la phrase ou lapsus de Mr de Gaule prend du sens pour tout le Canada! je suis français avec de la famille au Canada et je vous soutiens de mon coeur! PEACE not WAR TRADE.

Trump is waging trade war on Canada now- but Putin is a friend now?? WTF

Go Canada! Europe stands with you. Free trade zone with Canada-EU-India!

The European Union is behind Canada, we will trade freely with you and welcome you. American alcohol is no lo ger wanted in Europe.

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

Quick donny may I borrow a tie?not appropiate attire? ill trade you two igloos for a bowtie and kiss your ring while you lick Vlads boots-Donny can you multitask?

Trade war !! ??? Friend ?? ????

As a Frenchwoman with friendly ties to the United States and Canada, I am horrified by what the Americans are doing to the Ukrainians. And I think this trade war is a splendid gift for the Chinese. What's happening to the leader of the free world ?

I hate Justin Trudeau but he's had his moments recently. Ridiculous trade war.

Canada builds about the same number of cars as they export to the U.S. .That's trade. 12 Corporations have opened assembly plants in Mexico to take advantage of cheap labor, including the Big 3. That's greed.

Free trade agreement with our allies may be long overdue.

I sujest fair trade lets not leave that out trusty justy

We have a trade SURPLUS with Canada.

We don’t want to see you hurt either but the trade isn’t equal so even it out

la fin de la guerre en ukraine, les quebecois pourront remplacer les amercains en ukraine et envoyer un million dhommes et de femmes au front russe combattre la russie, la guerre est finie...tant qu au tarifs ils devraient etre pegge au taux de change du dollar canadien soit autout de 44% pas juste 25% trump est trop mou pas assez de courage on a un trade deficit de 1.2 trillion ca ne disparaitra pas tout seul...et la la haine des amerciians va accenturer le retour des entreprises amerciianes dans l automobile aeronotique comme GW pratt and withney ibm bromont tout cela s en va..tout comme cuba vous entrez dans un cycle d epuration et de transformation anti capitaliste..

There you go America !!!\n\nListen to a Strong, Young, well Articulated Prime Minister tell you how Americans will pay the price on thos trade war.\n\nWe Canadians will also pay the price, so we buy Canadian products \nand will never buy US again.\n\nI am so proud of our Prime Minister.

If the free world wants to put pressure on the US for this betrayal, trade in euros (not dollars) and avoid US products and services. There are plenty of options. The US is so exposed to China through its debt that it will need to back down from these policies or collapse economically.

Why a trade war? What’s the point?

For Trump it’s not about a trade war ,it’s about Trumps alliance with Putin and destroying western democracy

The US starting a trade war with Canada is almost as dumb as Russia starting a war in Ukraine.

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

America should implement a federal sales tax if it's really wanting to raise federal income, not pretend it's about 'trade' and try to make other countries suffer too for what it chooses to do to it's own citizens and economy.

Mr Tradeu has ignored all issues. Fentanyl, border, trade and other. Did nothing. Same as Mexico, the cartels, drugs, trade. Allowing Chinese companies to use Mexico as go through to USA.

Is MAGA saying trump won the “trade war” ???

Then even the trades out you goofy .

During 9/11. We sent fireman down there and let the airplanes diverted here from the USA here Canadians let them in their houses. After you take out gas there is a trade surplus with Canada

let's trade presidents. we will pay you. no give backs.

Dutch guy here. We love trading and have a special place in our hearts for Canada.Expand your business to Europe. We are reliable partners

usa government just joined russia... europeans do not see usa as an ally anymore. not for the next 4 year. usa is isolating itself like russia and north korea did.\nremember global trade after ww2 is what made usa so rich. if you want to be great again you need to have allies, you need open markets... this is anything but making america great again.

The trade war is a distraction and an excuse. Trump is about to lift sanctions on Putin and re establish relations with him. Trump will buy oil from Russia and will eventually divide the planet among them including Xi maybe. Trump is a megalomaniac like Putin and he idolizes him along with other dictators and authoritarians on the planet and his cult members support every step.

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

It's really very clever to start a dispute with almost every trading partner at the same time. This only leads to almost everything that is imported into the USA becoming more expensive, while in Canada, the EU or Mexico only the American products become more expensive and customers then switch to Canadian, Mexican or European products.

Wow, Canada hasn't fought the USA since the battle of the Aleuthians. This trade war should be just as productive. Thanks Donald.

All we want is fair trade and this is the only way to get you to the tanle

Join a closer alliance with the EU please. Redirect and join your trades and resources with your allies in the EU please

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

everybody that says they stand with Canada go live there. How do we have a trade deficit with Canada.

No we, the USA, just responded to the trade war Canada has implemented against USA for decades

Why do you depend on the us for your trade ?\nIt canada's fault

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

You go Canada!!!! Australia has your back we'll trade no worries ❤ the Commonwealth has your back

This is just another step in the current Administration's push to totally isolate the USA on the World stage. Canada, Mexico, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Europe should wake up and form their own Global Trading and Defensive Block (including a Nuclear Umbrella) because the USA can no longer be counted on for at least the next four years.

Trudeau is personally involved with the Fentanyl trade. That’s why propping up bills and “plans” will never be enough. Trump knows this.\n\nHe’ll never be out of the drug game until he’s removed. Neither will his puppet “drug czar”\n\nWe’re calling for the dismantling of the trade. That’s going to get messy. When we see that, tariffs come down. \n\nUntil they make big busts of the industry portion of making fentanyl and the banks laundering the cartel money the tariff stays.

S**ts weren't expensive enough, now we are in a trade war.

I don’t think the US President and his DEI (incompetent) coat-tail grabbers, understand the full extent of what trade wars can do to the world.

Canada is one of WA State’s biggest trade partners. Including Mexico, China, Japan and S. Korea.

Donaldimir Trumpin is launching a Trade war on everyone except Russia. Let that sink in..

As history has proved: it only takes one single mad, narcissistic and corrupt vile excuse for a human to upend peace; whether it be trade or human suffering! Hitler, Putin and now Trump.
