Unbelievable. Majority voted for this bullsh!@. That's what hurts the most?

Oh Canada!!\n Thanks CNN!!\nNext up!!\n Failing of USA , real-time prime time!\n At the hands of Donald..\nI am happy to see how American is going hurt it’s what you voted for, Donald.\n\nDonald is your scourge!

I am happy shopping cheap goods from China,Canada, Mexico. Trump is hurting everyone.

Get that convicted felon out of the office! The American people are in trouble. Yes, Canada will hurt. Big difference is, their leaders are going to support them. WHY did people do this to our country. Racism and Sexism is costly

Trump and his grovelling billionaires makes up crap to justify their motives, it seems to everyone but them that their actions are hurting his closet allies and soon his own people. His actions against Ukraine and Europe has the wests enemies licking their lips.

? we just won’t let you take us for granted anymore ? how about you start focusing on not hurting your own citizens you douche ?

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

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

I Hope all those who voted for him , realize that the only ones hurt here is the people . ??

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

All of these comments praising Trudeau have the memory of a goldfish. This guy praises Chinas communist leadership and also spoke highly of Fidel Castro. Let’s not forget the pandemic. Of course the tariffs might hurt in the short term but you fools can’t see the long game. Bring back more jobs to America and import less. Tariffs will allow for tax cuts.

Living in Michigan , Canadian are our close neighbors and friends. This is a sad day that will hurt both Americans and Canadians. You fought beside us in every world war. Canadians supported us and died for us during the Iraq War. Recently, bringing in planes to help put out the wild fires in California. We love our Canadian neighbors ❤‍?❤

In the USA. There is no justifiable or sensible reason to launch this trade attack on countries throughout the world. It hurts them, it hurts us (the working class American). This president makes any comment or accusation and insists we call it fact. I feel for Canada. America is in trouble too.

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

Your not hurting bruh your getting hurt lol

? 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.

I think we will be just fine and proud of my president for his actions it might hurt a little but not as much as it will you. Good luck. We are tired of getting taken advantage of

I've been saying since Trump said that he's going to put tarrifs on Canada, that's going to hurt the US in the economy and jobs and well here we are..\n\nAnd to think that some people think Trump is doing a great job with all this, is mind boggling.. but I guess they can't see through his lies and stupidity.

In Canada Trudeau has hurt us more with tax increases in last 5 years than Trumps tarrifs. Young people have next to zero chance to afford to buy a house. This is Trudeau's fault not Trumps!

Canada ?? I m proud to be Canadian. I've never been a fan of Justin, but today, he's speaking from the heart and for Canadians. This may be Trumps stupidest move and will hurt Canada as well as the US.

Trudeau is a Liar and a Thief. He has only Hurt Canadians. Now he is trying to pretend he is Worth Keeping around. We all know he is not. They have had Tariffs on American Products for Decades already Stop acting like a tough guy.

Trudeau is an example of someone who is willing to say the truth about this U.S. renegade executive office passing policies that hurt both Canadian and U.S. economy. \n Republicans who are spineless are not willing to do this. Thank you, Trudeau

Got to make these Trump voters hurt, so they understand how stupid this is.

Great speech, but until it hurts them, they don’t believe. ?

I wish he were my president. As an American, I’m scared. Last time I felt like this was 9/11. It’s a different fear but it’s growing daily. The big orange one does nothing but instill fear and anger. I miss a president that speaks to the people, gives them hope and encouragement. Hurts my heart

why is our leader in america hurting us. we need to stop all this before we lose our democracy

? cnn and trudue don’t get it. Canada has been taking very little from us and expect the US to take a lot from them. It’s not equal trade. The left doesn’t really care about equality. This inequality has hurt America for decades, generations

Pretty much alk of the world is realizing how dumb this is, and how dumb Trump really is... I only hope that the american ppl react quickly enough to get rid of the Trump administration asap...These tariffs are good for no one, but will hurt everyone.

Canada is but hurt

Many of us did not vote for this idiot and we tried to tell those who did what they were getting . A lying fraudster and rapist and first of all con man liar. We were shocked as many of you Canadian people. Because of our constitution we have to win three more seats in our congress in order to impeach him. He has hurt many people here by cutting healthcare and even our money. I am on legal fentanyl and ending this medication would kill me. I agree illegal fentanyl should be stopped it’s a very dangerous drug in the wrong hands.

Do what you have to do Canada I'm American mango Mussolini is just stupid!!\n\nHe's a greedy evil racist narcissistic misogynist and blatant liar. Really all the tariffs are is a poor person's text is meant to hurt confused ? and there's no point in that? \n\nFentanyl is no more dangerous or available than any other drug that has ravaged America in the world. If the people don't take it there is no problem no one is forced. Go Canada go God bless.

The dumbest US man ever elected by too many dumb people. It's the wrong approach to hurt your closest allies.

Trump is hurting our economy. He is not a businessman. He has failed in each business he has anything to do with.

Well said Canada!!! Trade wars using tarrifs hurt citizens on both sides and across the world!

Canada's tariffs on the U.S. will hurt us more than them, we get more ìm items from them than they get from us. Trump is an idiot.

Doesn’t like this clown of PM Trudeau because his open support to Khalistani terrorists. But here he is right because its hurting them. I don’t think the tarrif going to benefit USA immediately, it might take decade for local business to compete, but meanwhile tarrif will increase the inflation in US immediately

The Orange lunatic is the master of falsehood! He will made up all kinds of allegation on those he is taking revenge on those who laugh at him for his stupidity during his first term! He doesn't care if any of his action will hurt Americans, they are the last thing in his mind (except those oligarchs who are supporting him)! The next most troubling reason for his action is because he wants to weaken the free world alliance to benefit Putin! This trouble that he is creating will disrupt the economy round the world distracting the focus in the Ukraine war! And weaken the financial support that Ukraine's friends are consolidating to overcome the shortfall from US withdrawing aids to Ukraine! Lastly, that Orange lunatic is preparing a path to turn US into an autocratic, dictatorship system and align with Putin, so that he can corruptly benefit himself without opposition (he can suppress any opposition like Putin)!

Socialists in America and in Canada will piss on things that hurt the Elitists. 100% behind Mr. Trump. Where one goes, we all go.

Donald wants to hurt Canada so they vote out Justin because he hates Justin. He want conservatives in Canada to come into power so they can bend over in front of Donald and ultimately destroy Canadian economy and the US can take possession of all of Canadian resources. I'm just waiting for Donald's funeral.

and he chose to do the same to Canadians......... its better for CANADA to buy american good without tariffs, don't hurt the Canadian economy like Trump does to his people

Trudeau is right. Chump, GOP, MAGA- they’re doing this to us and they could not care less how much it hurts because Putin told them to do it.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

Not all Americans are with Trump or Putin. Many of us stand with Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Americans love their country, but many Americans are hurting and suffering and feel let down by our government. It's a circus now. We are sick and tired of the high cost of taxes, food, gas, housing, and now these tariff's that are only going to hurt Americans more.

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

Wake. Up America. This stuff is gonna hurt. Trump. Does not have our best interests in mind.

Hmm, dont make it sound like you are the only one doing something about borders, drugs. Mexico is too! He will impose tariffs no matter what. But who demands it? That is as hurtful as the distribution of that junk

I am a U.S. Citizen, and I did not vote for Trump. I am ashamed of what he is doing to our allies and hurting our people.

Something I don't understand. If tariffs on goods coming into the US hurt US citizens. Wouldn't a tariff on things coming into Canada hurt Canadians? How does this help you? What harm does it bring to the president?

As an American I don't support this at all we can't afford things as it is this only hurts everyone more

Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .
