Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher

I am a US citizen who does not want trump as president. I don't want these tariffs against Canada or Mexico. I'm so sorry trump is doing these tarrifs. Do what you must for your people. I'll support Canada and the Mexican people. Thank you

Trudeau has done so much damage to Canada it is 100 times worse than anything the tariffs will bring.

Trump is NOT starting a trade war. He is equalizing the playing field. Canada was already imposing a 25% tariff on the US unfairly. Now they are charging 50% tariffs. Not fair at all!

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

Why not 100 percent tariff , not just 25 Percent? ????

Just resign and Canadians will be happy and tariffs will go away

With calendars tariffs against the United States the United States are going to save money. ???

The fact the Canada is g9nna help their citizens thru this tariff war yet Trump is not doing anything close to helping American citizens, shows that Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone. Trump just opened a more profitable business route between Mexico and Canada.

Why is PM Trudeau not talking about the reasons President Trump put tariffs on Canada and Mexico? CNN is a biased network highlighting only one side,

Total US GDP on exports to Canada and Mexico is 2.7%. We’re not going to feel your tariffs in the USA. But you will feel ours haha.

Trump is turning America into a fascist government destroying the middle an lower class.The tariffs will starve alot of Americans, cutting all programs that help people will be devastating. Elections dont matter anymore Musk an starlink has fixed that. His goal is to mirror Russia an all fascist governments. He's turning Russia enemies into US enemies.

politicians should never be allowed to do anything that wasnt noted on thier campian. This is how they get away with everything. NO ONE EVER VOTED FOR TARIFFS

GO FIGHT FOR UKRAINE, THEY NEED THE BODIES.\n Canada imposes Tariffs ALREADY.\n 270% ON EGGS.\n gth canada

America is not Great its falling you got Trump too Blame you Elected a lunatic who does not know how tariffs Work

From Kentucky... These tariffs are a lose-lose situation all around for everyone. And.when you mess with my state's bourbon industry, Trump, then you'll be persona non grata here in the Bluegrass State.

Fucking with Canada is like a fart in the wind challenge to my President. Also if implementing tarrifs is so bad for American citizens, and we're the ones who are actually losing. Then why is Canada doing the same thing by imposing tariffs. Wouldn't they be screwing over their citizens then?

Justin Trudeau ruined Canada .Canadians has been suffering for years because of his actions. These tariffs might make it worse

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

80% of potash is imported from Canada. Potassium it's necessary for plant growth and a major input for farmers. The Tariffs will increase the cost per ton by at least $100 per ton. Regardless if domestic mining increases it'll result in higher grocery prices.... Again. We need to impeach this administration. Slapping tariffs on Canada which we hardly have a trade deficit with is asinine. Nevermind all the tech and service exports we send up North which probably far out paces the imports.

I bet Trump expects companies to fail under these tariffs to come in and buy them up.

I could care less for Canadas tariffs. I’m willing to pay more to pay for products made in other countries

Guess how much tariff Trump will ever put on Putin Russia...Zero 0% ?

MAGA has lied to America...The only Golden Age is for Trump and Elon's Oligarchs....they are the only ones filling their pockets with tax brakes.\nThe normal person will have to pay higher prices \nsince the Trump's tariff are going to be added to the price of the goods.

Happy to see this from our prime minister, however as an voter i cannot ignore the last 8 years. Trumps 25% tariffs are stupid, hes right. But were paying more in carbon tax on everyday things comparatively.

This is all convicted criminal Trump’s fault! Most Americans are against these tariffs and want Trump and Musk out of our government!

If US imposes tariffs on Canada prices go up for people in the US. So if Canada imposes tariffs on US prices go up for people in Canada? How is this a retaliatory? Wouldn't it just be hurting the people in both countries?

Great speech! As an American, I'm on Canada's side in this fight. The American tariffs should not have been implemented. Their purpose is to hurt both countries, to soften us up for Russian dominance.

First. Drop Canadas tariffs against the USA.\n Does Trudeau understand that Trump has implemented Reciprocal tariffs. Which means you raise tariffs, ours go up exactly the same.

Doesnt canada charge us tariffs already????

Shut off the oil and please 200percent on Tesla tariff tax please please please.

Trumps tariffs are a distraction, white genocide is happening right now in Gaza .

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

Im American and i don’t care about other countries. Im for America and only America. Ukraine has been taking and taking out money. Weapons and we get nothing. Yet the EU is going to get their money back, but not us. And Canada got that tariff because of the fentanyl that’s coming across you and the Chinese border. So I don’t care if Canada is mad

Export tariffs are even more effective

BULLSHIT. Canada has been ABUSING the U.S. with tariffs so let the MF games begin.

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

Well maybe if your actions against the drug trade work they'll drop the tariffs. Talk is cheap.

Just stop the flow of fentanyl and help us secure the border. Tariffs will end if that happens. These politicians irritate me in that they clearly care more about themselves than us.

As an American, of course I don’t want the downsides of tariffs. But as your friend I don’t want Canadians to be in a disrespected position either. I hope this can be reversed.

Trudeau has never told the truth nor does he stand for freedom, just remember the truckers and what he did. He’s also not telling you the tariffs they charge the USA.

The U.S. did not slap Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs - Trump did.

Everybody can see these tariffs as a problem except for republicans ?

Over other country love to criticize but won't send the same amount your money and troops over to any confrontation. \n\nWe can tariff you but how dare you tariff us. Unbelievable

He is 100% correct. tRump is looking to work with Russia and perhaps remove sanctions while putting tariffs on all our allies. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!

Finland stands with Canada. Ordinary American citizens will pay the tariffs imposed by Trump as increased prices in stores and inflation will start to rise in the United States.

the better move would have been only to put tariff only on the products which canada has in-house production

Trump is dumb. \nHis tariffs are dumb.\nTrump is a horrible person.\nTrump will fail because he is a failure.

The outcome of these tariffs will be rising prices in America and 40 million Canadians and 130 million Mexicans will think twice about taking a vacation in the US or buying American products.

The US relies on several countries for goods. Trump put tariffs on multiple counties. None of the other countries have tariffs on each other. So, who is going to be the loser in the tariff war?
