Ya know, it’s honestly comical that some many people have these knee jerk responses to anything they deem “negative” STRICTLY for the fact that it came from Trump, and rather know TRULY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING behind the reason why these “negative” things are said or done in the first place… I ASSURE YOU 99% of the people complaining about this Canada tariff don’t know that it’s simply to (essentially) force Canada to agree to ramp up their border DEA enforcement/presence to help cut down on the illegal drug trade (primarily fentanyl) coming into America! If more of these people complaining knew this reasoning behind it, I think that would quite honestly shut a lot of them up! And to be completely honest with you, that failure falls on NO ONE MORE THAN THE JADED MEDIA!! I truly believe THAT is hands down the biggest failure in our nation currently!! The media is HANDS DOWN our biggest enemy so far this presidential term!

From Australia. Go for the throat Canada, show no mercy.

Trump is a traitor to the free world! Good for you Canada.

I’m American. We are appalled and disgusted with Trump. Please know we love Canada and wish this was not happening. We stand with you and with all the good people in the world.

Hi from Ireland, good for you Canada standing up to the bully ?

Id like to see how much fentynol has been seized coming into Canada from the USA! Why don't we have those numbers?

I don’t like Canada. I cannot wait til US troops march into Canada and take the land that BELONGS to us

If you are an American citizen and you are siding with Canada, you are a TRAITOR!!! As an American, a woman of African descent and an immigrant, I 100% understand why my President has taken the hard but necessary decisions that he took. It is time for other citizens of the world to realize that the USA is NOT HEAVEN, and America is NO SANTA CLAUS!!! This country has wayyyyy tooo many problems to continue with the foolish foreign and economic policies that we have pushed in the past...CNN it is about time you start speaking truth!!!

Canada we don't like what Trump and his cronies are doing. I will be affected and the agriculture worker will suffer the most.?

EU and Canada should get closer.

America here, do what you have to do, Canada. These MAGA folks who back a convicted rapist should just go elsewhere. They’re ruining everything so orange man can enrich himself

i’m sorry canada ?? it’s not my fault i swear

let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

If I could switch presidents like the Canadian president for ours I would because Canada has a great president and Canadians should be proud of the president not like Americans with their president

There will be a point of no return. When Canada no longer asks to have the tarriffs removed, and just pulls the electric plug -Proud Canadian

Everybody in Canada wants to vote Trudeau out but he cancelled parliament and pro longed an election to happen. But he speaks about other leaders and “dictators.” Trudeau is a joke. Canada wants an election. To elect a real leader. Let’s go Canada!

I stand with Canada as well THOSE WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP THIS IS WHAT WE GET FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS AND A HALF YEARS.....

Why is Justin Trudeau still talking when no one wants him in Canada

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

Never trust anyone. Canada lear from this! Only your neighbor can harm you so easily!

How I wish we had a sane decent leader. Who knows, maybe we'll have a military coup at this point. Thank you Canada for being sane and rational, hopefully we will recover and get a Biden type who cares about all citizens and our place in the world again...

Yes oh Canada

Let me guess. Canada doesn’t tariff anything from the USA. ????. Reciprocal coming next

8:06 AST yes, Mr Trudeau, we don’t like this either. Thank you for speaking on behalf of the American people. You speak the truth. We are under seize by an authoritarian government. God bless you and Canada.

As an American, I couldn’t be more embarrassed to be one right now, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Canada for standing up to this disgusting bully of a so-called President we have here in the U.S.

Wouldn't it be nice if our president would be a president instead of a dictator and hurting the american people and help us grow instead of breaking us down and making it worse for us. He don't want minerals from Canada but he just tried to make a deal with Ukraine for minerals from them, it does not make sense when Canada was one of our best allies for the United States

A real leader!!! I'm with you Canada.

I stay with USA, 100% tariff and stop hand me downs for canada. No more canada.

I'm fine with Canada and the UK going bankrupt if they bring it on themselves. I hope Europe can shake off the EU parasites controlling it before they are destroyed. I hope Russia takes back Russian speaking territories and provide the people with aged pensions, social programs and infrastructure and for the western parts to be absorbed into its neighbors where they can also receive assistance to get back on their feet. Finally, we should stop engineering color revolutions and capturing vassals to be used as a proxy in planned conflicts and placing military bases on borders where they are not welcome.

Sec.gov search Canada it’s just a corporation like the US. The tariffs are to drain us all, and across fake border.

Trudeau is a strong statesman for Canada.\nAll the best for Canada in the fight against madness from the US.

He should keep quiet before we make Canada the 51st state ? and let Russia inherit Europe

We love Canada ?Please adopt Minnesota!

Well done President Trudeau. Canada is truly a strong nation. I am very impressed. I am horryfied about whats going on in the U.S

Is it possible that Putin and Trump are plotting on Canada? Like a take over

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Go get them Canada, Mexico and any other country that is being screwed by the US, Australia is with you

What about all the illegal guns coming into Canada from the USA. Canada MUST ALSO MAKE USA Accountable AND STOP THE ILLEGAL GUNS COMING TO CANADA THROUGH USA.

Canada belongs to the true king - Donald Trump, who leads the great American people to prosperity?

Your a liar and a nut for Canada.

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

This man is no hero. I live in Canada, which under Trudeau’s leadership has become a worse country since he became Prime Minister. It has nothing to do with Trump. It has been going in this direction for years.

I support Canada 100 x 100 trump is mad

Canada has been turned into a woke socialist province- Trudy is on the way out and I suspect of wager that the next provincial Mayor will not be like minded Fuck Canada \nGoing to make it US territory they have NO MILITARY CANT WIPE THERE OWN ASSES OR PROTECT THE NOTHERN BORDER OF YHE US - bye bye

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

This is how a politician should react. Calmly, politely and wisely. Go Canada! ?

Canada should fix the border problem which has caused the fentanyl problem in USA.

Trudeau Sucks and thought he resigned!? Canada 51st State !make it happen people!

Canada it’s time to turn the electricity off in America. Maybe those boys will understand then.
