No you believe in us protecting you for free for forever. And it’s over. You are crippling yourselves Canada. And again, you must have a team of moderators that crowd source opinions and use mine often to prepare you for your next speech. I am but one intelligent Hoosier calling these moves… you really will be losing seafood here next ;). Trade war is hardly 25%, and the tariffs were meant to be reciprocal anyways XD so wooo, big move. Weren’t you facing fraud charges or something just recently cuz you stole from your own people?

Trump is losing his brain so he’s taking it out on the American people

Not surprised. Trump, you're an idiot. You will lose all your allies and significant trade lanes because you have no idea how to run your country and negotiate. Your economy and people will suffer. If you isolate US from the rest of the world, who will come to your aid if Russia decides to take you over? Where will the Americans flee to? Mexico?

We should never have ....all this happen with bill Clinton.... USA.... accept production Canada ...mexico....part of bill Clinton... USA should stop any production Canada....see who got lose........all this trades happen with bill Clinton........zero. Production come from Canada.....I don't care.....any about Canada...... USA have tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo destriction...in production from Canada ....mexico.......they know stupid Justin.......canada don't him no more .....canada have homeless in drug's........stupid Justin

They are all caught trap by the Ukraine propaganda!! Think about why and how war start!! Think about the past admin of US giving tons of budget to Ukraine without anything in return!! That was an American tax Money that just wants to take back. The comedian President of Ukraine rally for the money support and nothing in return?? This must be stop because American people will be in the edge of losing!!

Refreshing to hear a politician speak the truth. All Americans should listen to this and see the Orange Turd is the instigator to this “lose-lose” trade war now underway.

Coke-a-Cola keeps their formula a SECRET! Fentanyl is being made WHERE and being sold on the Black Market by the CIA as part of the depopulation agenda. How stupid does TRUMP think we are? Now, he will lose his MAGA base.

Americans act surprised that Trump has already gone rogue…ignorance truly is bliss…so many Americans will lose their jobs because of these tariffs…Trump has yet to address the fall out of his actions… times are very scary.

What the hell is this country coming to? I am a proud Native American but I am embarrassed to be called an American right now. This has to stop. We need adults to jump in and end this nightmare. And end it before it is too late. We are going to lose our closest allies then what will we have left?

Fuck you you are a dictator look what you did to the truckers and your people bring it you will lose not America

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that

People need to understand that the damage and fallout that will certainly come from all of the things that Donald Trump is doing is intentional. \nTrump's efforts to weaken NATO, destroying our relationships with our long-standing Western European allies, creating friction and distrust with our border countries of Canada and Mexico, taking a wrecking ball to all of our governmental institutions that hold this country together, sowing a lot of hatred and distrust among American citizens along racial and ethnic lines, using tariffs to destroy the American economy, efforts to cause Americans to lose trust in our courts, justice and Healthcare systems, trying to Villianize Zelensky of Ukraine while praising the dictator from Russia, is all part of a plan to weaken or maybe even destroy our country and to allow Russia to rise.\nIt is painfully obvious that Donald Trump is an agent for Vladimir Putin and Russia against the United States, Ukraine and the democracies of Europe. \nDonald Trump is a traitor! The Republicans in Congress need to do their jobs and remove him from office ASAP!

Trump is on some sort of Antichrist Rant , it seems as if he wants to reduce the population through death and destruction. Plan and Simple.and the ones around him seems to have sold themselves to the Devil. We are in Serious Trouble Here , the Leaders in Congress and the Supreme Court Needs to Wake Up before they Lose there Power and it’s too Late.

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

Just can not work out why Canadians don't want to lose their health care and then they get to have daily mass shootings and their kids being blown away at school, really is a mystery why they don't want to join the orange moron and the scum that support him

Canada will lose business permanently. The longer this goes the more they lose. Hurts them twenty times more than it hurts the US. We won't even notice.

???? the corrupt commie that destroyed Canada will lose!

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

If Trump ever finds out how many bets and pools we have going betting on when Trump will die,\nhed probably lose his tiny mind.\nHeart attack or stroke,somethings \nGonna happen he is a million years old,morbidly obese ,never exercises and lives on junk food. Its just a matter of time .\nmay as well make some money off him and have a laugh doin it !\nMake your own \ndonnies dirt nap pool \nat work or online with friends!

not sure how Canada imposing tariffs well over 200% (for decades) is being a good friend? I don't think Canadians know how much we carry you, not by buying your product, but by being severely ripped off by your government for your product. Lose the tariffs on us and we will reciprocate I'm sure.

Donald is not a smart guy. Do not flatter him. He is a russian asset and Putin will lose the war if Donald does not fuck up Amerika and Ukraine fast. You guys try to reason with a russian asset and megalomaniac that wants to have a third term. Wake up and understand. This is a new world where diplomacy with US and Russia does not work. It stalls.

he is saying what he is saying because it's a losing trade for him

Trumps own supporters will be chasing him out of the White House once they all lose their fucking jobs?

The US seems hell bent on destroying itself. So many people are going to lose their jobs as the US economy goes into freefall. If Trump imposes higher tariffs on Europe too, we'll respond in exactly the same way as Canada.

The Auto Industry stands to lose on both sides of the border …. And it’s not Tesla

People like double talk and bullshit listening to this moron they will lose hands down, listening to this shit makes me laugh dragging down America to there benefit go efff off Canada.

I wanted Trump to win because of the issues at the Mexican border. He's blackmailing Canada, an ally, after we agreed to help him. He's losing the little support he had from Canadians.

This is not going to end well for Canada as 70% of their exports go to the United States. Canada is about to lose their biggest customer real quick.

US, is going to fall. The US is losing credibility worldwide. Canada has a real president!

Wow agent orange is going to lose his shit over this. He's going to ware out his thumbs.

American milk could be cut out of the Canadian market, and then your farmers will lose their farms.

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

All the America that voted the mad orange clown in deserve to lose their jobs and struggle economically from this. Enjoy you deserve it!

I think Americans are going to have to learn the hard way that we voted in a terrible man who is even more unrestrained than the first time. The best outcome of this lose-lose situation for Republican voters is to feel the financial pain of Trump's actions. Maybe it can disillusion his cult following of heedlessly surrendering their voting power to him. With enough opposition pressured on Republicans in Congress, they may finally find a backbone and stand up for all Americans while the Democrats twiddle their thumbs.

This war will hurt us as our prime minister said it, but you americans are superpower you have lots to lose.

YOU WILL LOSE! Sheesh! Label your products made in Kanada so i know what NOT to buy!

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

Mr Trudeau, if you go on a trade war with the US you’re definitely gonna get it and lose. All you have to do is lower the tariffs you’re imposing on American goods so Trump won’t impose the same tariffs on you.

No winners? Your gravy train with the US is over and you have the most to lose. The US has been asking for fair reciprocity with its trading partners but you are causing it to be demanded. Canada has a population about the same as one state California. Trump has opened the US up to extracting and using its own oil, mineral, timber and other resources which we have lots and lots of. Just a matter of time before America is rid of the parasites on its ass.

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Canada will lose this trade war

Wait, I can take it one step further.... It's understandable to lose our electricity for any period of time in these 4 years. It brings me more joy to have bad optics for our despot than it is to have electricity including our heat and water. ?

As long as he will stay in power, Canada will lose the power.

When the northern areas of the US lose their power to their homes and businesses , ask your self was trumpy worth it???????? JSMFH

I hope that Americans will fight for our country, the U.S. We are losing our democracy at a rapid rate, thanks to Trump and Project 2025.

Trump has rich family and friends, he is broke! America your are below the poverty line, bkoke, or poor! He wins; You lose stupid!

Canada, Mexico, and China will lose. If you don't know, you don't know. Trudeau has acted with his feelings.. not with the interest of his people. It will take a minute for the left blinded to understand.. GOOD LUCK!

I thought most Canadians didn't like him.\nHe is just using this to gain his popularity.\nBut I am sorry, it is too late.\nIf you fight with US, you gonna lose, 100%.\nLet's see how it goes and see who is tougher.\nStop the ILLEGALS not just pretend you are doing it.

Before everyone loses their mind over the grandstanding on either side… They should take some time to research the import/export world. If Trudeau thought he had the upper hand in this, he would have dropped the hammer. He doesn’t. The US economy will find a workaround before the 21 days are up, and Canada will have even less of a leg to stand on.

Canadians are doing themselves proud by hunkering down and unifying the Country against this madness, so keep it up but don't lose your polite and friendly approach to life....be assured the rest of the free world is with you
