God, please help us here in America.\nFirst they came for the ‘ Non citizens’ we were silent, now they are coming for the Federal workers , we are still silent, tomorrow, they will come for us. Do you think the super Billionaires will save us? Our wages will go up in flames via inflation. Sad !!!

He says he love America and that he's going to make it great again but he secretly is destroying America and causing chaos make it make sense

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

Twice in a week Trump is humiliated by a world leader, Trump thinking he can be a president of a country like the ceo of a corporation. He blackmails people offering them scraps from the table of his last meal as if they should be thankful. How on gods earth did America vote this clown as it's leader. Putin has spent 3 years trying to get into Kiev and in a few weeks has managed to get into the Oval office of the Whitehouse. I sit here in the UK watching what is going on in America like many around the world cringing and at the same time laughing at how such a scumbag could achieve what he has done. Trump and his arse licking lapdog are making a laughing stock of the US and you seem helpless to stop the shitshow that is coming your way. I feel for you and hope his stupidity will lead to a very quick exit for the now most famous clown in the world.

Americans voted for it and you GOT IT! THIS is unbelievable! The America with no friends! :( Canada's leader is smart, strong, brave, handsome and they are super lucky to have someone like him. This is NOT going to end well. :(

....TRUMP IS PUTTING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OUT OF WORK. AND PRICES WILL GO UP.\nPUTIN AND RUSSIA WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS.\nRUSSIA AIMS NUKES AT AMERICA WHILE TRUMP TREATS HIS FRIENDS LIKE CANADA AS THE ENEMY.\nWAKE UP PEOPLE....

I did not vote for the racist rapist felon running our country. The United States is no longer a democracy. He has made it a Dictatorship. Nobody wants this but him.\nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY\n\nthe felon running the U.S. does not speak for me. This is unfair to the residents of the U.S. \nNobody wants this but Donny Dum Dum.\nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH\n\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \n\nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \n\nIT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU DONALD. SHUT YOUR F'n PIE HOLE\nDONALD GO LIVE WITH PUTIN. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

Trudumb, a friend dose not take and never return generosity. The current administration is just demonstrating how much of the American tax dollars go to Canada. About $300B, sounds like you all get more than any US state. \n\nFYI: Canada has the best fence in the world…it’s called the United States of America!!!

On the outside we are made to believe such things but I know behind the scenes things are different. What have you done to your own people? No one is perfect and no one party either demo or repubs, there are going to be good and bad. I just want more good vs the bad. Why are you talking about America, worry about Canada.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

Hey Wolf and friends lol....if you Libs don't like it.....go live in Canada with Justin. America

Electricity, oil, steel, lumber, water, and potash, are just a sample of what Canada supplies to America. Good luck! You are going to need it.

The 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudea will go down in history as the guy who stood up to the felon and sex offender Donald Trump. The so called 47th President of the United(?) States of Mid-America. Trumps playing Whack-a-Mole with his closest neighbours and European Allies. They aren’t going to forget what he’s and his supporters are doing.

America got one big madness President at the White House. We believe he already open the Bank of America to receive 25 percent from Canada ?? , 25 percent from Mexico ?? and another 10 percent from China ??. These tariffs (taxes) are for US government work? Trump is that Federal government himself. Gurrentee the prices will go up .Trump does care about the poor but himself. This is very bad for partnership with Canada? Trau speak the truth

Trump is going to isolate America from its closest allies and then our enemies will attack us Americans at our weakest when all our allies has cut ties with us!! And this is what Zelenskyy was saying the other day in the oval office, “you will feel it one day”. Trump is going to lead us into a war and who will have our back NO ONE!!!

Canada is going to make it through this. America is boned.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

If Donald doesn't go foward with this plan, how else is he supposed to help Putin destroy America??

Canada you are standing strong and proud in this unnecessary, unwarranted trade war. You have much respect and admiration from this US citizen and many others.\n\nUnfortunately, our sitting US President is acting as though he thinks he is an Apex predator. America is going to seriously regret letting this man reach this level of power.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

,Yeah Donald you think you can punish Canada go ahead you want.our water our gas our oil our minerals our health care our good manners and our humanity you 34time convicted criminal thanks for destroying America

Hey MAGAts, did you know that Trump's tariffs are causing Chinese stock markets, such as Shanghai Composite, to go up? How does it feel that you MAGAts supported communist China in the end? Is America great again yet? ?

In Europe people are boycotting US products and it’s going to be an escalation in the boycott day after day.. I won’t buy anything from US from today and I bought every car I possessed from America and so did every member of my family because we are fans of this brand I’m not going to mention..

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

Way to go down swinging Just. VP Vance and Donnie J are sad indictment of the social mentality of America.

Looks like Trump FAILED another one of his campaign promises again. He said he wouldn't start any new wars. Well, he just did. It's called TRADE WARS with countries by way of tariffs. And now prices are gonna go even higher while the stock markets go down. Good job MAGAts, is America great again yet?

A lot of propaganda going on. This whole comment section is full of bots. I am fully behind my country. Let's go America.

Trator trump needs to be impeached. America could save trillions impeaching trump and elon. How many of you can aford higher electric and gas bills. Lets step up and tell Trump to go to hell.

Go Trump! Go DOGE! Go America! Vance 2028/2032!!!

Zelensky you don’t have a leg to stand on.. You should have made the boarder and drugs coming into America more of a priority…! Now you will be tariffed until you comply! Simple! It’s going to hurt your country more than ours he knows this and now is panicking!!

Nice going America. Have your egg prices gone down? Do you have a new national healthcare plan that blows the other one away? Do you consider this as more “owning the libs” and is it worth suffering more for the benefit of the rich? What a clown show.

Nothing is going to happen to America,I promise you…no hard feelings,only business

To everyone that voted for Donald...look at what you've done to America and others around the world. History will remember this. When you go broke you'll only have yourself to blame. Sleep well.

Canada put tariffs on America and now they are upset that we put the exact amount of tariffs on them??? No country is getting any more tariffs than what they already had on America. Sorry but Americans need our money right now, our country is going bankrupt but you don’t care about that, you only care about yourselves. Well Americans will do what we need to do to rescue our country. Get over yourselves. If you had no tariffs on America then you wouldn’t have them on you now.

America is going down the shitter

But is trump acting as a person who for sure cares n love the people of America ??..or he doesn't it for himself.... people are indeed going through the economic crisis n now see this today..!!

Nice going America. Have your egg prices gone down? Do you have a new national healthcare plan that blows the other one away? Do you consider this as more “owning the libs” and is it worth suffering more for the benefit of the rich? What a clown show.

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Respect to Canada from Switzerland. Trump will go down as the president who destroyed America.

As a British citizen. I am so disappointed with Americas. What a fuck Is going on with you. Stay strong Canadian love you.

I stand with Canada, as long as trump and his disgusting government pollutes the Whitehouse, America doesn’t exist. trump needs to go to Russia to be with his boycrush??????

What a joke you are PM Trudeau! Do you really think your puny little 25% tariffs on America is going to hurt us? We, Americans, shall see you come begging, on your knees, for forgiveness?. You chose your path. You still have a time to turn from path, but that will require you to admit your crimes against Canadians and American?. Which I believe you will not do?

Evil trump started War. Other countries only protect themselves. America lost lots of money for immigrants, war in Israel, and Ukraine. Now they wanna back. That's why prices going up. Till they get all back.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

We love you America. Wish you didn’t vote for him and them. I know all of you didn’t….but it is what it is. We’ll be fine. We’re. Canadian. We are used to being hearty and handling rough times. We love each other and think nothing of sharing and helping. We will just do it. Whatever it takes. Just today your government told its congress to not to go town halls and listen to YOU. They are turning their backs to the people that pull their last dollar out of their pockets to give to them and they will NOT listen. Make them

tRUMP - The Orange Idiot is going to destroy America but as it is sinking MAGA Cultists will scream how their glorious leader is working for them when in actual fact he is ONLY interested in lining the pockets of his billionaire friends. Go for it Canada?

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people

America here... We are sorry you are going through this. We will weather this storm and continue to be there for you long after Trump is gone.

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.
