Russia and China laughing at this. They've achieved their goals without firing single bullet to American

this coming from the guy that admires chinas basic dictatorship.. f**k Trudeau

I am critic of the PM but on this front I am with him. US president talks about diplomacy with Russia but he doesn't even attempt a diplomacy with his friends? There are deep economic/family and cultural ties between Canada/US/Mexico. The tariffs are not benefitting anyone. \n\nMr PM, Try FTA with Europe, Africa, ASEAN, India and China. Yes China and India.

China is the one changing Port tags to get the fentanyl in the USA

India, china, russia n now USA is DUSTBIN TRUDEAU's enemy

All under China. The fall of western civilization. Inevitable.

Let’s do business with China. They need coal and lumber and all the goods we got. Skrew the orange man and his mail ordered wife. Let’s get Chinese engineers and researchers to 0 Avenue and do some research on maple and pine trees. Let’s see what he would do in this situation. He thinks everyone is a female immigrant from Slovenia.

I am never a fan of our Prime Minister but today, he got my full respect and admiration. We all know it is not about Fentanyl or illegal immigrants crossing from Canada as little as they were. Donald Trump is just using these as excuse. He is cozying up with US' one of two prime adversaries - Russia and China - and whacking friends and allies, alienating the United States. Donald Trump probably is considering authoritarian rule over democracy. I can't wait for the day that his dumb action will whack him back. Sorry Americans, you are still our friends, but not your government.

that is the cost to be the us follower against china . so this matter is not strange. Be the us enemy or friend is the same.

fellow Anglo-Saxon clowns are fighting each other, this is the rotten Canadian Prime Minister who says Canadians are polite, even though they are America's pawns, in the past a Huawei official who is a Chinese citizen was arrested by Canada on Trump's orders, now they have finally gotten their karma by being charged with tariffs by Trump, the Canadian nation likes to suck up and now they feel how America is destroying Canada, like Canada doing evil to China.

look fidel castros son is speaking!! \n\nhe needs all that fentanyl money he smuggles from china thru the canadian rockies into american soil.

Canada should go out of its way to increase trade with China. They should join BRICS too.

I get the responde about the trade war. But where is he coming form when talking about Russia? Even when the U.S. slaps you in the face, you insists on buying the propaganda and try to get on the bad side of one of the most powerful countries? \nDo we want an alternative? Canada, you have Mexico to work with, and if you go west, you have China, the biggest economy of the world. Wake Up.

Just remember one thing, Mr. Trudeau.\n The governments of Canada, Mexico, China have been screwing America for years, and now that's gonna stop.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

Ill maks it make sense. The usa cannot fight a 2 prong war. Europe needs to focus on Russia while usa focuses on china. It was proven a year ago that if we fought with both. We would run out of ammo in 2 weeks. We are competing with china now. Not Europe not Canada not mexico. China!

Trump would never admit he's wrong or defeat .. he's only interested in being a dictator like his best friend Putting. Long live the rest of the world minus China as well.

The tariffs are designed to substantially increase the gaps between very wealthy and wealthy, and wealthy and working class within the US itself. The plan will work; that will be the state of things when DT is finally gone. Effects on Canada, Mexico, China and the rest of the world will be the collateral damage that results from this plan.

The shopping hierarchy is:\n\nProduct of Canada\nMade in Canada\nProduct of/Made in Mexico or EU\nProduct of/Made in China\nProduct of/Made in LITERALLY ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAN THE USA\nDo without it\nIf you can’t do without it, find one from a company in a blue state\n\nI’ve almost eliminated ALL American goods from my expenditures except for Sunkist oranges from California\n\nIt’s not the 20th century anymore and America isn’t the only operation in town. Anything anybody needs, they can get those needs filled without the USA.

Well. Based ON THEIR WORD Trump paused the tariffs because of promises made ...... Just like Mexico they said they would secure their borders to help stop the flow if illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs and terrorists into the USA... THEY DID NOT. China did nothing to crack down on fentanyl being smuggled out of their country (although I think they would rather see American people die of overdoses. When Trump says he going to do something he does it.. no more Biden woosie politics.

The fentanyl is made in China. The Chinese bring some to Mexico and COMES TO AMERICA IN VEHICLES CROSSING THE BORDER THROUGH LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRANCE. The rest of the fentanyl, the Chinese SEND IT TO AMERICA IN CARGO SHIP THROUGH LEGAL PORTS. So Canada... eh... mmmm... Canada... they... uh... ? Ask Trump ??‍♀️

CANADA IS SLIGHTLY CONTROL BY CHINA ?? that's why the leaders of canada is out of mind because they are run by China so that they receive a lot of money from China

America can't sustain a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada at the same time. Our inflation will soar and our economy will tank.

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

China has imposed a 25% tariff on the USA, which will have consequences due to Trump's aggressive moves. He thinks governing is like running a business, but the world doesn't work that way. Trump is not helping the USA but will make life more complex, and a few years later, Americans will realize.

Yesterday bully china, now y now what feel is ?

Canada doesn't have the same trade war as America. Canada, China, Mexico, and a few others so trump is really hurting America citizens for his own selfish ego

US ?? RUS ?? China ?? North Korea ?? STAND together this is our world. ✊?

Trump stopped culture of loot of usa ....usa convincing russia to isolate china ,europe with terriff was not giving market to usa but in nato made usa to spend entirely.right now china is threat to usa and winning russia is very important .i am indian hindu can see this

Let us go sideways. Find other trading partners. We do not need trump. A totally clown. Lets go to the uk or China. Then no hurt to us

Chinese stooge fighting for china against the United States.

As a Taiwanese, I condemn Canada for whining like a baby. We have already received enough benefits from the United States in the past. Now, the whole world must unite around Taiwan and the United States to counter the growing threat from China.

Let us join EU, China and Russia, instead of USA. Who care Trump ?

Only leader in the world who has issues with America china india and many more what a leader with great vision

Trudeau is a dictator the Canadian people need the US to protect them or it would be China or Russia country

Most of the illegal fentanyl is produced in China yet I have not heard Trump mention that once since his attack on Canada.

????? it feel good until it done with others but not with me. You all was supporting when it was done with china ( even this time ). Let's USA, Russia, China, n India united to form economic union ????

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

We’re are your friends but we will sell China oil ?

china, europe, canada and BRICS can do some business together.....

Lets be honest, the best answer to Trumps tariffs would be to sign a Free Trade Agreement between China, Canada and Mexico.

if it is in canadas case. how about china. its the same story. tariff will hurt usa

The end of United States. China and Russia laughing ?

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

Hey …can you address the port tax on boats transporting goods. 1.5 million $ when a boat delivers goods through US ports if the boat carrying the goods was built in China. What about américain transport companies using china built boats ? Hope my country cuts your electricity. Than maybe Americans will wake up to the global mess they let this clown show create.

he had no problems imposing tariffs on China but as soon as the USA does it to his country he gets all butt hurt about it. absolutely hilarious

Trump is an idiot. Russia will never go alongwith America. For just lifting sanctions it is playing a game. China and North Korea also at another corner.

Dump was trying to end nato last time in office. He trying for the new world order! Even Russia and China making friends. Brut they elected him

Oh man, 2 months in the seat and he has already become enemies with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, China, Mexico, Greenland and...and allied with Russia. ? - Wait until 4 years has passed. The world will have turned upside down and inside out before this orange checks out. Let's see how happy the Americans will be after a time choosing this maniac. Huge misstake. Huge.

America! You are heading for ww3 against china very soon, are you sure you want to turn key allies against you?
