Will you all stop watching what Trump is doing!!!! And start seeing the things he's doing behind your backs!!! He is giving billions in contracts to Musks companies and firing anyone who doesn't agree with them. They will never leave the Whitehouse, or if they do they will be taking billions if not trillions of American dollars with them most probably to Russia who will then rage war on America when your on the bones of your backside and no economy to fight. Your all looking in the wrong places, someone like Trump or Elon or Putin never let you see what's in their left hand when showing you their right, wake up America and impeach him now or you will have no country left ???❤

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

All of Americas long standing allies now have to communicate with the president like police negotiators . Careful not to upset his fragile ego while he’s demanding a billion dollars and a helicopter. What a sad, incredible situation the world is in.

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

Im immigrant American citizen, and I back our president Trump. I side with America. We send Canada billions of dollars for no good reason. You guys are acting not grateful at all. I back out country.

Remember when this same fellow froze protesters bank accounts and began collecting peoples weapons? Yet, he has the gull to talk about dictators. Trump actually wants to avoid WWIII and I hope what his administration does will bring an end to the war. Though, I do agree he should be more tough on Putin. That being said, I do agree that the crossings from Canada are not nearly as significant as compared to our southern border. It would be nice to see more from Canada in their investments to secure the border and stop crossings, cartel movements, and drug operations. The US has spent more than 409 billion since 2003 on such operations. Regardless, I feel for you Canadians and it sucks that it has come to this and I hope we keep strong relations in the future. Hopefully we can come to a fair deal soon. Mexico and China are the big players that do not do nearly enough to prevent these crimes. In fact, the Mexican government helps the cartels by not trying to stop them. China's lack of regulation on the ingredients to make fentanyl contribute to a large extent to this tragedy as well.

I didn't see any arrest of Canadian traffickers in the last 30 days. Billions of dlls and no results.

Let's see, make peace at reasonable cost with a man who's war with Ukraine showed the world that they cannot last in war with US on a military vs military bases; and the only option against the US is a nuclear, while Zelenskyy want's to use US as a deterrent against Putin, all while asking the US for billions. On the other hand, Canada, Mexico and Panama are being over ran by chinese businesses. People think this is against Canadians, Mexicans and Panamanians, but these tariffs are against chinese who are manufacturing in these countries and bypassing tariffs already in place by the US. The chinese are manufacturing in Canada and Mexico and placing (made in Canada/Mexico) and shipping those items to the US, while Canada and Mexico do nothing.

Did we NOT LEARN with Trumps LAST TARIFFS? It cost our farmers their markets and cost AMERICAN TAXPAYERS BILLIONS to bail them out of bankruptcy. And DAWNY doubles down now. What’s it going to cost us NOW? Because IT IS GOING TO COST US.

Trump just made 2 announcements:\n\n1. He’s cutting off military aid to Ukraine, which has large deposits of rare earth minerals, basically handing it off to Putin on a silver platter.\n\n2. TSMC, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company is investing $200 billion dollars in the US and he’s taking credit for the creation of jobs this will generate.\n\nWhat do you need to make semiconductors? Rare earth minerals! Anyone smart enough to put two and two together would know that Trump, Musk and Putin are in cahoots to take Ukraine’s minerals and the meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of cameras was just to corner him and make him look like an ungrateful dictator so Americans would rally against him and justify cutting off military aid.\n\nThe Republicans in congress are set to make a pretty good fortune by playing defense. Enough money to not give a d@mn about reelection. It’s all corruption. Turning our backs on our allies and cozying up with dictators just so Trump, Musk and their buddies can add more billions to their bank accounts!

make a energy and oil deal! Tariffs will cost us billions~!

Canada has politely let terrorists into the United States , Canada has politely been unfair to America in trade. Canada has politly accepted Billions in free money. Goodbye Canada. In closing perhaps Canada should become ''Unwoke'' and give your people ''Free Speech''

Never get a boy to do a man's job especially a narcissistic drama queen like Trudeau...loves WEF and Soros globalist plan for 4th Reich apparently ! More money to Zelensky who can't account for $69 billion dollars from America ? Zelensky's wife spends 10's of millions on shopping spree buys a $6.4 million dollar Bugatti and a $1.2 million dollar necklace while begging for money ? NUTS

in 2013, the United Nations set out a Universal Agenda called the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Right to Health, in this Agenda, which has to be met by 2030, Since 2013, we had the Climate Change hoax that was started by our king while he asked for all financial institution to dish out over $780 billion dollars worth 'green things' which are now going bankrupt, however, he convinced that the earth was going to combust, then we had the COVID, which killed many, so now that those schemes are over, we are slapped with another tax scheme called tariffs. Anyhow, the Agenda said that in order for us to enter 'THE NEW ERA' the natural resources that the Country produces are to be shared for all citizens to enjoy, NOT SHAREHOLDERS!!

He’s ruined Canada in 9 years. Don’t forget about Trudeaus carbon tax and many other taxes. Don’t forget that carbon tax increases very very soon. Don’t forget that he just gave Ukraine another 5 billion and that’s why trump still imposed the terrifs.

Trudeau keeps saying Canada is the US’s closest partner and ally. Hasn’t the US proved in the last year and a half at least that it’s actually “israel”?\n\nPlus with the US in trillion dollar debt, and billion dollar obligations to israel, how else must they keep up? Tariffs on other countries! ? the art of the deal.

This is something Trudeau was looking forward to. He gets to tax Canadians for all his spending and then blame someone else.\nTrudeau just promised Zelenskyy billions of dollars and now he gets to take the Canadian taxpayers hides to pay for his reckless spending spree.

You guys have not mentioned the $ 2 hundred Billion that's given to Canada every year.WHY ... THATS WHAT IT ABOUT..

There were two things that Canada had to do to avoid Trump's tariffs. Increase our Defense spending and stop the flow of drugs and illegal aliens entering the US thru Canada. Trudeau only talked about the drug issue. If Trudeau cancels the $ 40 Billion unsolicited contract to SNC Lavalin, and instead gives that $ 40 Billion to Canada's military to buy new weapons and train more soldiers Trump will, I am positive, immediately drop the tariffs against Canada!

Canada annual trade surplus with US $108 Billion\nWho is going to win a trade war? Not Canada.\nCanada average tariff on US imports 13.4%\nUS average tariff on Canada goods 1.8%\nWho has been taking advantage of who now?\nTop 3 countries tariffs on US imports:\nChina 17% Mexico 13.6% Canada 13.2%

The only province that has really done what Trump wants is Alberta.... the rest of what Trudeau is saying is bullshit,the 1.6 billion is over 6 yes ?

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

The tariffs are a pretext for a trade war that will only enrich the wealthy including trump..These people don't give a rat's ass about the people and never have..That's how they accumulated their obscene billions..

Trudeau's dad would have just come out and said this is not about fairness or fentanyl. It is about Trump wanting to collect billions from his own working class and small businesses in order to provide tax cuts for the rich. Pierre Elliot Trudeau had balls. Miss those days.

Trump just brought a $765 billion dollar AI company to America. If the US pulls out of dealing with Canada, they are screwed haha

Putin bought billions in trump coin. Trump has been paid for, just like the Chinese crypto crook who's case was just dropped for no reason last week. His name is Justin Su, he bought 70+ million in trumps crypto. It's a direct payment to trump who owns over 80% of the coin holding.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

155 billion $

YOUR Housing Policy Spent BILLIONS without building 1 single house! Also, double/tripling the cost of housing in some areas. Failed policy after Failed policy!

Trump isn't listening, he's preoccupied with all that $$$ Money putins giving him for turning against Ukraine and the western alliance, putin has deep pockets and trump will do anything for some of it..\nThe tarrifs, talk about Gaza, Panama, Greenland, his mate Musk and the Billions he's supposedly found, it's merely a Distraction while his deal with putin is established & underway.\nPutin was right in 2022 with talk about a new world order, yet who thought it would turn out this way..

This is Great...Maybe the Naive MAGA Cult Clowns will finally see that they got Conned and Scammed by Donnie Stump and Elon. \n\nDonnie, Elon and all the Rich will get richer and All Americans will suffer and get poorer. \nThe good thing is the MAGA Cult Clowns Red states will get hit the hardest. \n\nPrepare for the next Great Depression...\n\nHigher prices, Loss of jobs and suffering...while Donnie Stump and the Corporations make Billions and Billions...

250 Billion to keep you CANADA. Let’s see who can hold their breath the longest.

No tariffs but America shouldn't be floating billions to Canada for them to survive as a nation. They should live off there own dollar. America is taking care of toany countries and not its own people.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

LMAO Canada had tarriffs on the US and now we respond with reciprocal tarriffs and they cry. and they have an open border allowing criminals and drugs to enter the us...lmao cry babies. we dont need Canada, and btw no more money for you buddy. your gonna miss that 200 billion subsidy .

canada exports 500 billion to America vs 100 billion to Canada from America.

Did you know that since the beginning of 2022, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordability in Canada. \n\n$10 billion could have built 30,000+ affordable housing units, reducing homelessness and rent prices. $5 billion could have expanded healthcare, hiring doctors and nurses to cut wait times. $2 billion could have Canada has committed approximately $19.7 billion in multifaceted support to Ukraine. Let that sink in.... $19,700,000,000 ?\n\nThis comprehensive assistance includes over $12.4 billion in direct financial aid, the highest per capita contribution among G7 nations, and $4.5 billion in military assistance, intended to be delivered through 2029.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has pledged a $5 billion contribution, with $2.5 billion disbursed recently and the remaining sum to follow soon.\n\nIf Canada had spent the $19.7 billion on domestic issues, it could have significantly improved\nsupported veterans and provided clean water to Indigenous communities, while $3 billion could have upgraded roads and public transit. Another $2 billion could have funded food programs and tax relief to combat rising living costs.\n\nRedirecting this money could have directly improved the lives of millions of Canadians, addressing urgent national crises instead of foreign aid for a fake war that the Ukraine can never win...

ISOLATED POLITICALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARILY, JUST A BIG BULLY IN THE PLAYGROUD WITH NO FRIENDS. EUROPE CAN MANAGE WE HAVE NUKES AND THE BALLS TO STAND UP TO DICTATORS. CONSIDERING THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THE US HAS WASTED PROPPING UP DICTATORSHIPS ACROSS THE WORLD IN SELF INTEREST IT IS DISGRACEFUL TO TREAT UKRAINE LIKE THIS.

Trump is dumber than a rock. If his daddy didn't leave him billions, he would homeless.

Fix the 200 billion dollar trade deficits

Look Justin, Its not about the fentanyl. That’s with Mexico. The fact is the US has been giving Canada billions of dollars for decades and we’re just not going to do it anymore. The US want to make Canada the 51st state and this is how it is going to be done.

Whats up with the 200 billion dollar trade deficit

So, a country that had a 2024 60 billion budget deficit, depends on the US for trade is going to act tough? OK. Zelensky just learned what FAFO means the hard way. Now he is begging ... Trudeau and Canada will end up begging and getting humiliated again.

yea u do or ud have not stolen 200 billion a year !

He his dumb ??? and the most dumbest thing ever is what they did to Zelenskyy bullied him in front of media and billions of people all over the world is watching there probably laughing at those lunatics

No matter who pays the tariffs and who it hurts, the end result is that billions will be paid into the government coffers of both USA and Canada. Of course Trump & Musk want to use that to benefit billionaire oligarchs, but what will Canada do with the new income? Maybe much could go to Ukraine to compensate US disgusting withdrawal of support??

Don't forget Canada Black face treaud is going to send billions to Ukraine all while you'll still have to work 3 jobs to pay your rent. ?

a 1.3 billion dollar waste of money for extra border security. We did this to appease the unappeasable. He never intended to stop the tariffs, he just wanted us to spend out money. He's trying to bankrupt Canada. STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY ON TRUMPS DESIGNS. Remember WE the public are paying for this, THEY (our governments/the Upper Class) are benefiting. As Trump crashes the markets, who do you think is buying it up, think about it.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Canada and America should work together. Trudeau is the only one talking about a trade war. Think about that... Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries who later came to the Whitehouse and invested billions to bring business here. Canada has enjoyed the American gravy train for long enough. Just look at the comparison between how much money goes into Canada and how much of that America actually sees a return on.
