Loser..stop canadas tariffs against the US..

? all they have to do is drop all the tariffs they already have on us and there wouldn’t be any more tariffs ????

As a US citizen I fully support what Trump is doing. \n\nOh and these tariffs will hurt Canada far more than they will hurt America and we know that.\n\nCanadians better start controlling their border soon.

you are a fool if you believe canada will bring america to its knees with these pointless tariffs lol. it will hurt Canada 100x more than it does the US

So sorry or POTUS is an IDIOT Trudeau! Do what you have to do! Tariff the SHIT out of Elon Musks stuff, too. Might I suggest 100%!!!

If Canada drops\nAll their tariffs, then we will drop ours.

Trump is going to destroy America. He needs impeached. These tariffs are going to make things so expensive most people will have to live in ramen noodles.

America and he have had such goodvrelations but he knows that for a long time the tariffs haven't been about anything good. Which mouth are you talking out of Trudeau.

Raise tariffs. Trump said he would match you. See where it goes.\n\nCanada had had tariffs on the US for decades.

every country has tariffs. better start dealing with it because they are not getting reversed and I'm tired of hearing the crying.

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

Canada puts tariffs on U.S. goods and get mad when us on their goods should be 100 percent free trade

Trudeau comes up with an economic plan to weather the storm. Trump says Americans will be fine, tariff everyone, and have fun American farmers. The difference in leadership quality is palpable.

So what some people think it’s ok for Canada to have tarrifs on US products. Then when we put tariffs on their products we’re the bad guys B S.

Justin you obviously want this or you’d stop it by lowering your already higher tariffs. I’ll take the hit to show your dumb ass what reciprocal trade means

Trump is so damn stupid that he thinks the Canada pays tariffs on items imported to the the US from Canada. The US is now ruled by the Stupidest regime [ Trump and the Republicans ] in the World.

As an American, I FULLY support Canada's response to these idiotic and extremely damaging tariffs levied by the US. Someone MUST stand up to his tyranny, and not bow down this bully.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Justin Trudeau is a Dildo with Ears, and is the reason for the US tariffs, along with the dairy cabal in Quebec. Canadians want an election NOW!!!

He forgot to mention the ongoing Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods. Ooops. \nPoor Canadians about to get schooled.

You sit there spending 0 on your own military and live off us like a leech. You want to talk about hurting American families, lets talk fentanyl. You havent done shit until President Trump hit you in the wallet. You also have tariffs on us. The USA is also running a huge defecit with Canada. Biden is gone and the screw job is over.

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

When are people going to realize that the Tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl crossing the Canadian border, that is just a smoke screen. the real reason is the fact that Trump is Putin's puppet and Canada is aligned with Ukraine, so now they are trying to hurt and possibly ruin Canadas economy. Trump is like Putin where he does not care if counter Tarriffs hurt the American people, he only cares about himself and his rich friends, who will not be personally be affected by them.

Countries including Canada have been charging high tariffs against America for years, all Trump did was give them a taste of their own medicine.

Where does Putin fit with the imposed tariffs? ???

All the uneducated Red Hats in the US are causing all the problems. They think someone else pays the tariff because they are most gullible

No tariffs when Canada is the 51st state.. ??❤️??

Oh sanp, i forgot I walked into the woke media, guess what canada free trade this free trade that. But has the audacity to charge us a tariff but cry when it happens to you. Protection of your air space isn't free and offsetting your military while you sit back and do nothing is over. The rent is due, time to pay up.

Lets give a look to Trump strategy.... Hypothese: Forcing Ukraine to give access to his ressources that would left U.S. ĺess vulnerable to canadian ressources to strenghten is tariff war. It also weakened intentionally NATO and western çountries so he reinforces his link with Russia to reimburse the debt he contracted years ago. Again this guy is nothing else than a russian muppet.

As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Get control of the border and take your tariffs off and Trump will do the same. Your funding your social programs at the expense of us taxpayers with your tariffs you’ve had on for years

What Trump is too stupid to understand is that the cost of tariffs is always passed on to the end user, the consumer, the purchaser. He doesn't know this because he has never paid for anything in his life.

Trump’s retaliation against Trudeau…. From his Dumpster’s last term, Melanoma reached up to Trudeau for that greeting kiss ? lol Dumpster still can’t get a ?from Melanoma. …. Tariffs make it look legit rather than petty jealousy.

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

It’s NOT Canada…. It’s Trump!! Trump still thinks Canada pays the Tariffs, where actually American Purchasers will pay the Tariffs! Trump is STUPID!

Trudeau is out - the tariffs are now equal - what is he talking about ?? No one is fighting with Canada - and Trump is trying to end a war between Russia and Ukraine - no one had been able to talk Putin into a cease fire and possible peace until Trump! Stop all this bs!

A big reason for these tariffs is that Canada nor Mexico has bent the knee to the wannabe king.

Don’t talk about it be about it! We made our choice!! Canada ain’t never been our closest ally… you just live under the umbrella of our protect protection!! You have been putting 25% tariffs on us for decades now!! Play ball and games changed, but we’re not playing this woke liberal ideology anymore in case you haven’t got the memo!! and by the way, Justin Trudeau is corrupted, crooked and launder money himself

China has imposed an additional 10-15% tariff on American goods.

Nice to see a leader standing up to Trump. Trudeau is showing leadership and trying to explain to American how tariffs work. It would be good if Trump understood the pain he will cause Americans. We need an adult in the White House.

Canada already had tariffs on our imports. Thats why Trump implemented tariffs

All Tariffs end up hurting the consumer on all parties.

Turdea it’s not Donald to you as your disrespectful to our President Donald J Trump. You were fully aware of 25%Tariffs. We the people have spoken and strongly stand and support our President Donald J. Trump. Business is business stop being butt hurt. It’s nothing personal just the facts and truth.

Ban Twitter/X in your country. Tariff Elon musk companies. Canadian companies, cut all advertising on musks platforms

Apparently, tariffs are too complicated for the Russia-complicit President of the United States to comprehend. That and other psychological evidence are grounds for removal and Americans have the clause to do it in Article 25. But oh no. Their right-wing fascist cult is too fearsome for Republicans in Congress to grow a pair and stand up to the madness. Wimps! Simps! You will pay a very high price.

Mitch and Rand are shaking in their Glencairn and balloon snifters over this...but do not have the testicles to object to *RUMPS tariffs. Liquor sales and production are already down nationwide in the US, especially for bourbon...and they cannot afford to lose the business. Kentucky distilled spirits exports to Canada is an $89 million business. Gently inhale from your glasses, Senator's...Canada is going to give you a sniff or what's to come for your industry

Zelensky was in no position to make demands. Trump wants the war to stop, zelensky wants firepower. The war needs to come to a stop and we need to stop funding a war involving a country we're not even allied with. \n\nIf you dont agree with tariffs, it means you know that you import way to much shit. Dont like the tariffs, build it in america. Thisnis about american jobs.

Increase the tariffs to canada to 50%

Well … I’ll be specifically looking for Canadian products - tariffs be damned
