I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

Make 50percent tariffs for canada President trump 4 this kind of leaders,Maga?????

Next step - Donald trump impose 100% tariff on Canada and Trudeau crying in corner

Canada should hit back with higher tariff, say 35%

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

This man is a bigger threat to Canada than anyone. Also, we don't care about your tariffs. You had a chance to change your unfair tariffs and be more reasonable, and you blew it. That's all you had to do. But instead, you cry and whine.

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

When less than 1% of fentanyl comes into the USA from Canada, who can believe that the tariffs are due to fentanyl? It’s ridiculous

The Canadian leader is speaking to the American people out of concern. Look at what a whole lot of uninformed folks have done. Once you hear this you will understand the hell we will wake up to. Tariffs to America by China, Mexico, Canada. Making us isolationist joining hand with Putin. Oh my God

Fentanyl wasn’t the only issue. Other issue is matching the Tariffs we already and have been receiving from Canada. CNN and other legacy media outlets need to ask these countries if they’ve offered to eliminate there Tariffs and any debt accrued from Tariffs.

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

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.

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

Tariffs is nothing but protecting own country manufacturers and entrepreneurs. Let US be and Canada can raise Tariffs to protect yr own country interest. There is many more country for you to work with.

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

First and most of all!!!!!!!! He is PRESIDENT , trump !!!!!!! Second only Canada will truly be affected, u can raise energy and our president will subsidize it with ur tariffs

What's it about? It's about money. It's about a gangster family in the Whitehouse, and oligarchs in the administration, all trying to make as much money as possible. There's no other explanation possible. That's the only explanation that comes close to making any sense. Now more than ever, even if these tariffs are short-lived, Canada needs to move away from U.S. trade. This is necessary for the long term survival and prosperity of Canada. We need to make every effort to increase trade with the pacific rim, Europe and South America. There may be some short-term pain, but it has to happen. Given the events of the last few years in the U.S., Canadians have to realize that things can get even worse, and will likely never be the same. There is very little reason to believe that the ties Canada has had with the U.S. will ever be what they were, or indeed any reason to believe that that is even desirable now.

Check the tariffs Canada has on USA

Truduea is a lier and the United States has protected Canada and kept them going for years. Tariffs is what they need to straighten them out .

Bravo President Trump! Keep the tariffs on Canada and Mexico!

Trump hates the trade deals we have with Canada and Mexico. But wait a second that was his trade deals he made with Canada and Mexico during his first term. He said it was a great deal when he did it! And the stupidest thing is none of these tariffs are going to reduce the fentanyl if anything maybe 1% or 2% less.

Canada’s tariffs has almost no affect on the US. Maybe Canada should shouldn’t be aligning with China and should pay their share of things like defense. You people will believe anything told to you by CNN. You people will put Canada and Mexico before America.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

Y'all Canada going to put tariffs on USA really y'all still dnt get it right you dumb Canadian Trudeau the reason Trump put a tariffs again let me explain myself it's because of Cartel's for stoping crossing fentanyl from your border if you dnt stop from y'all part of the bargain of letting Cartel's crossing drugs n trafficking from ur country to USA country ok

Why are we insulting Russia. Russia should be our trade partner. Yet, we support Israel. Disgusting. I agree with the tariff stance, but the whole Russia and China criticism is rooted in Canada's relationship with the US. They're enemy was our enemy. Smart'n up Trudeau.

IT WOULD BE SMARTER FOR CANADA TO COOPERATE WITH AMERICA BY CLOSING THE BORDER AND NOT ALLOWING ILLEGAL DRUGS TO ENTER AMERICA. TWENTY FIVE % TARIFFS UNTIL THEY COOPERATE.

Governor Trudeau, Canada has been imposing Tariffs to the US for years, you are a joke?

Trudeau's desperation and fanaticism are unmatched, he is sacrificing the economy and the Canadian people for his ineptitude and fanaticism, the tariffs are a consequence of his total negligence in allowing laboratories and trafficking of Fentanyl in Canada, in addition to his fanatical support for the corrupt puppet of Biden and the globalist left Zelensky. Simply his fanaticism and ignorance lead him to claim an economic war with America, he forgets that the poorest state in the USA has a per capita income higher than the richest state in Canada! Its economy depends on America for more than 287 billion annually! This political arrogance is only the confirmation of his lack of leadership and is dealing a fatal blow to the Canadian economy.

Trump is extorting Ukraine for something we already swore we'd do if Ukraine gave up it's nukes. Trump is extorting Canada in much the same way. China maybe as well. It's not okay. The only tariffs he should be signing is on Russia.

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

this guy is a dictator and most Canadians hate him the very reason he was supposed to step down but refuses to have an election to replace him just like Ukraine. you pump Chinese goods across the borders allowing China to sell here with no tariffs. you allow China to pump fentanyl across the border as well just like Mexico has been doing. Im not feeling sorry for this dictator. people for freedom dont freeze the peoples bank accounts that protest them like you did. best for Canadians to replace this fool before he drags Canada under before he voluntarily steps down. good luck Canadian people in getting rid of this dictator.

Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

I am an American and stand with America. ?? if ya know how much Canada charges the U.S in tariffs ya wont stand with canada

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

Trudeau about to catch some bombs with talk like that. The American People support Trump and the tariffs. Canada knows they can't fight us. Trudeau should bend the knee now to avoid the destruction later.

Trudeau already said this nonsense last month. Virtually the same tariffs. Same points. \n\nCanada’s economy is down too and has been for a long time. \nTheir stock market is low. \nTheir RE is too high for its citizens. \n \nThey can’t win a tariff war due to attrition. And Canadians can ban together to not shop American as they been doing already. \nAnd none of you on this platform can do anything about that either. \nY’all can stand with Canada as much as you like. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that their tariffs on America was higher than America’s tariffs on Canada prior to this “tariff war”. \nAlso ya’ll can’t denounce citizenship and migrate over to Canada. Because they will not accelerate their process for citizenship. And will not accept the infinite number of you all.

Trump is a travesty! As an American, I am appalled by his tariffs on our allies Canada & Mexico. Please continue to fight against his bombastic ways!! Thinking Americans stand against him!

Why don't he talk about the tariffs canada has had on U.S. products for years ? Trump evened the playing feild. Fck trudeau and canada !!

Every Democrat was making the point that only the host country pays for the tariffs that it puts on items. Why is Canada upset? If we have to pay the tariffs. And then canada's answer is to what make their own people pay tariffs, that doesn't make any sense. There market is so small that even if they thought they were doing a trade war, their economy will go bottom up in no time.

We support Canada. All other freedom loving countries should follow their actions and impose tariffs against all US goods.

What an idiot. Canada has tariffs on the US for years. To hell with Canada

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 US is showing the world it is now an unreliable, untrustworthy partner. Canada will suffer these tariffs imposed arbitrarily by Pres.Trump, but Canada will always be a reliable and trustworthy partner. I think the real reason Pres Trump is trying to subjugate Canada is he doesn't want the constant reminder what a true friend and trustworthy partner looks like. He is embarrassed by the comparison.

Remember, it's not just Canada that is responding to Trump. Mexico and China are also responding simultaneously to Trump's idiotic tariffs. Mexico, Canada, and China are America's biggest suppliers of materials crucial to the American economy and are huge markets for American goods. If Trump thinks he can fight all of these countries at once and not have America receive grievous damage, then he is more deluded than we thought.

Canada, I hope Trump reconsiders this tariffs war. I have respected and enjoyed the friendly neighbors we've had in Canada. I am a North Carolinian. I support my great President, Donald Trump and he is doing great things that our nation truly needed. We are cleaning the swamp at Washington our government must stop all the spending and account for every tax dollar they spend. I believe Trump will return and reconsider this tariff put on our closest alia Canada. I pray that he does sooner then later.

The U.S. could shut down all trade with Canada tomorrow and lose 1.2% of its GDP. Canada would lose 20%. \nWho do you think survives a tariff war?

Yeah yeah just stop with the BS Trudeau,....we've been getting over tariffed for years...and no your border isn't safe...do the research correctly,...and unfortunately we have to push you guys to protect your own border. Remember Canada is a country that won't even pay their nato bill? these guys are full of crap and taking advantage of tariffs is over. Just charge us what's fair. We can't be taken advantage of forever. These people are idiots...we don't need Canada to sustain this country. Time for businesses to come back to the US.

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.

BETTER WAKE-UP CANADA...YOUR LIBERAL LEADER IS TO BLAME.\n\nI AM SORRY, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE TRADE DEFICIT EQUAL OR PAY TARIFFS. \n\nYOU TALKING LIKE THIS AND YOULL SEE WHAT IT IS WITHOUT THE LARGEST CONSUMING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
