The net effect is positive for the US and it will reduce the trade deficit and more over he can use the surplus to offer subsidies while also reducing the national debt as well. This is a good play from Trump, but the liberals will never understand him because they think with their emotions.

Indeed, Russian agent Trump's childish trade war shall NOT win by NO BODY! US Army Infantry Division veteran.

So sorry Prime Minister Trudeau to u and ur lovely Canadians! For this trade war! We as Americans well most of us feel really bad We r going threw so much more hardships because of dumb decisions going on in our government

Next time a Canadian complains about their leader, let’s trade, we will even throw in Florida as a bonus.

Tarriffs will just end trade

me when i have to *initiate a trade war with my biggest partners* because im bored

No nations will win on trade wars, just like Ukraine and Russian years of war, both nation people sufferings from leaders misunderstanding of power. Only Inflation to rise. Hardship and suffering of the people coming theses days.

I as an American hopes Canada wins this trade war.

The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $63.3 billion in 2024. Why Canada don’t like USA products Mr. Trudou?

I guess there is no point in admitting we should have increased our pipeline capacity , got a pipeline through Quebec , made a deal with Japan and other countries for our LNG , worked to remove interprovincial trade barriers , improved our border security , kept our deficit spending under control . Now the error of our past decisions are apparent no one to blame but ourselves .

Whole world is with Canada on this issue ...........no country is in favor of trade wars, it would benefit no one

Putin is getting exactly what he told the moron-in-chief to do and as soon as trump manages to alienate the rest of the civilised world he will drop the sanctions with Russia and make personal business deals with them.\nThis isn't about America - this is about trump incorporated and every stupid decision he makes will be preceded by market trades by third parties that will be hard to trace back to people in his administration.\nHe's stealing from MAGA and they're applauding him.\nAlso, trump is not smart - he's a crook, and dumb as a fencepost.

Wait a minute so youre an American that stands with your ally, even when they rip of your country through trade? & because your president recognizes a powerful world leader like Putin and knows peace with him is better than war???? Like are yall forreals??

Prediction for the next week. The Cheeto Mussolini will declare victory with his trade wars

All Trudeau needs to do is secure the border and lower the tariffs on America. This trade war will be over, but no. He decides to puff his chest and be defiant. Most ungrateful governor ever ?

We should trade trump for Trudeau

CNN call it what it is A Fair Trade War...

Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

It is no longer a secret. President Donald Trump is a Russian Asset. He's openly destroying American Allies and closest friends while getting extremely close to Russia. Canada is America's closest ally, neighbour, and trading partner, and this is how you're going to treat them. The sooner the American people realizes this and pressure their elected officials to make Donald Trump to reverse course, the less damage this will cost Americans in the long run.

Trump Holds All Cards. Europe & Canada have siphoned Billions while sticking it to America on Trade!!! Its called reciprocal trade!! Whatever you tax us we tax you!! The subsidizing is over. Canadian drugs kill. Cry because we match your tax in U.S. ? ???

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

‘This is escalating’ the trade war?!? No. Canada’s response is bringing it closer to even.

This news report is being passed on in us by all kinds of youtube influencers everyone is discussed with what that president is doing causing all kinds of disaster over there aswell trumb is the only one that wants a trade war

It wouldn`t be a trade war, Trudeau. We will just start making our car parts once again in America.\nWhat would you do make car parts for Peugeot? The shipping costs would kill you. You had your chance.

I must admit that despite my reservations about Mr. Trudeau, I can only stand in solidarity with the statements made here. Politics should not be a matter of ego, trade wars, or personal disagreements, as it is ultimately the people who, unfortunately, remain the eternal victims of these trivial battles. \n\nAs a French citizen, I can therefore only join this fight against political absurdity, which Mr. Trudeau has led here with both tact and courage. This is not a struggle against the American people but a necessary reminder: in war, there are only victims, and as Montesquieu once said, commerce should be driven by the spirit of peace, not by the constant temptation of war.

2 things we don't want in Canada. The Liberal crooks and a trade war with the US. That man Trudeau ruined Canada more that Biden and Kamala did to the US.Trudeau supported fentanyl in Canada. Allowing users to commit crimes without legal consequence. Catch amd release when they commit home invasions stabbings break amd enter. Tax payer funded injection sites. Only changed his tune to please Trump.

It's dumb, but it's not empty-headed: Fentanyl is a pretext to a trade war. And the trade war will be the pretext under which Trump decides to annex or invade Canada. It might sound overblown, but Trump and Russia are hoping to carve up the world and hand it to the billionaire class. Read the room.

My question is, do we have a dictatorship in the USA? \nWHERE IS THE CONGRESS and HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES??\nMy other question is does Canada have 25% Tarrifs on USA goods? Just the facts please, no political speeches. If Canada has 25% tarrifs then Canada started the trade wars, not USA...

Canada as well as Mexico and China will and must fight back! I don't care so much about china, but Mexico and Canada have been our best trading partners and friends and now we have insulted them. We will deserve what we get because we have elected the most stupid president in the history of the United States. Be prepared to pay higher prices all of those of you who voted for this idiot president Trump. Unfortunately the rest of us who were smart and voted for someone else will have to be punished too!

America will trade more deeply with Russia going forward

Can we trade leaders

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

Bravo Canada ?! Don't back down in a trade war with a dumb dictator!

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

The United States has a trade deficit with Canada. Therefore Truckin Fudeau sounds like a lunatic.

As a U.S. citizen... I say.. fuck the U.S. Trade with Europe. Trade with Mexico. Pool your resorces and help each other survive. Let us have consequences. We elected this vermicious kinid. Support Ukraine. Let us think soley about our own interest like the tangerine todler we elected. Let us see how that works. I want to be proud of my country but we obviously need a lesson in humility.

I am a Canadian. We do not want conflict with USA. What we want is for our new leader to be voted in - and then work things out for trade. President Trump is aware of what we have suffered. Canada has stood firm.....the truckers in our capital....brought a siege all over the world for freedom. I do not want the tariffs.....that will hurt us both. But I did not like Trudeau's speech.....it was rude. It does not represent us as a country.

Whelp, so much for that Gordie Howe International bridge. Spent $4 billion to NOT enhance trade with Canada

I am a 72 years of female who lives in Canada with very strong American roots as I came here when I was 46 years of age. I have to say that what is happening between the United States of America and Canada breaks my heart. I have always known that Canada and United States of America worked and got along with each other all my life. Yes, my heart is broken for the Americans and the Canadiens who will suffer because of this trade war that President Trump started. Prayers for both countries.

Trade war is against Trudeau and her stupidity

Trudeau’s weak leadership has hurt Canada, especially in energy and trade. Now, thanks to his failures, we’re vulnerable to Trump’s policies.

Trump fucked this up, USA is better off keeping the taxes on us cause you have now pissed us off!\nCanada will never trust or rely on America ever again and will move away from America and it's influence to free trade with China and Europe.\nGood luck America, you are now standing on your own!

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

Why you support US trade war with China previously, you are part of it, why complain now !!? You even detain Chinese telco CFO in high profile for US without hesitation, now you are enemy of 2 most powerful countries on earth. ???

Sorry about this, Canada. Trump's trade war is one of the dumbest things ever.

I hate that trump can just fuck everything up for americans. I didn't want any of this. I didn't vote for trump. I didn't vote for a trade war. Damn what a shit system

Looks as if Elon Muskler’s brain is tacitly behind this dictatorial Trade War-otherwise Trump could have done it during Trump 1.0 ??

What a sad little character Trudeau is. Like a stray poodle in the rain. What were Canadians thinking ever voting for this has been party clown. You almost deserve what’s coming to you with this trade war. It’s gonna wreck your economy
