Go get in the ring with him Trump, and see what happens. Trudeau is not afraid of Bullies, unlike the sycophants in your party. Don't kiss his ring, Canada. Je me souviens.

How is Canada escalating something the US escalated? I don't get this comment from the CNN anchor.

Trudeau is awesome...just wish those conservatives wouldn't of turned against him...Trudeau is for Canada

The opipid and fentanyl plague in US is not fault of Canada or Mexico, it is fault of the shitty health care system inUS, and hreed of the wealthy. . So to fight it the IS needs to make thongs right within and not bully neighbours. Of people don't do drugs because they have jobs, hope for future and decent health care...

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

We don't back down to anyone when it comes to Canada our freedom comes first Donald Trump win this war come on man what you thinking when it comes to us

To my mind, Trump would have started the trade war with Canada no matter what measures Canada undertakes. My guess is the underlying motive behind the whole theatre is to somehow pressurize Canada into complete submission. Remember his comments about Canada should become the 51st state? I presume that in reality his eyes are set on Canada‘s vast resources and the potential north-west passage which would be a fantastic gift to his master Putin.

I'm Brazilian, and it legit makes me so sad to see the Canadians being left this way by Trump... it's just a dumb situation, it's a selfish move made by him, and that sure affects Canada a lot, and that's why my family and I stopped buying American products. Stay safe and strong, canucks.\n❤

No one likes Trudeau not even most of his own people go away already you ruined Canada . Get a common sense PRIME minister that can bring back Canada to its glory a respectful SUPPORTER from the U.S.

What about saying that Trump is the best Sino-Russian asset in the US ? 'cause that is what he is, currently... jeopardizing generationnal friendship and alliance partnership for a despicable inner self.\nAs a French citizen, I stand with you and your people, Sir Trudeau. And I'll always stand with Canada. *You don't boot a cousin out.*

We don’t need anything from Canada we have it all here. I’m boycotting Canadian bacon ?

Mr. Prime Minister. The people of the United States love Canada we would do anything to help stop this. You are our closest✌️ friend and ally for years and years please don’t hold it against us because we have an idiot in the White House. God bless.

They should also stop spending their money on the border and make it Canada first

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

From Germany: go Canada! You are not alone, friends.

Forget Canada as the 51st state.\n\nAs a Northeastern American, I think most of us would prefer to become a province of Canada at this point.

He’s CRAY! Wasn’t us! We stand with you Canada!

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you

We stand wih you Canada ???

Ok Trudeau, if Canada is implementing a tariff as well does that mean Canadian will also stop paying taxes like Trump is doing in the US?

A N OLD ALLY......CANADA....A FRIEND TO THE END....GOD BLESS❤❤❤

This coming from the guy that froze the truckers bank accounts and has acted like a dictator for years. All you had to do Canada is secure your border and pay your fair share into NATO. You didn’t……

Just a short while back canada was against truckers and farmers. Quit trying to make a ass of yourself on tv! Zelensky tried the same shit in Europe.

Newsflash Justin, we could afford it if you weren't already taxing us to death......CarbonHoax tax .....take 8t with you when you leave. Stop representing Canada, you resigned because we hate you.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

Great and very impressive speech. CHAPEAU!\nCanada is a great country and we in Europe are happy to see how crystal clearly Canada defines its strong position on the side of peace and friendship between the countries, and not war, murders and liars.

I love Canada. I'm part French. My last name is French. The book, 'High Towers was written about my ancestors, who lived in Canada. I have family in Canada.

Sad American citizen here that didn’t vote for Donald. I wish we had strength like that representing our country. I’m with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

Dear Canada,keep your shit.Dictator scum

I have so much respect for Canada ??♥️

The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

All I hear is Donald Trump complaining about the illegal drugs fentanyl entering the United States how about the illegal guns enter in Canada from the United States

The fact is...they've been benefiting from America for years! We don't NEED canada.

I’m an anti-trump American and I say “GO CANADA!!!”

? Canada is a joke, you couldn’t even scare a toddler, hurt us ?…SMH ?‍♂️\nWe been in Biden recession for 4yrs, so yeah we will good ???…

American here…standing with Canada…. ?? russia.

I’m so so sorry Canada! I do not stand with Trump!

If Canada wasn't sucking the titty it wouldn't even matter . I back my country. We can figure out who's right and wrong when the smoke clears.

Canada has been putting tariffs on us goods for a long time !

Canada the new America?

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

Better get used to it Canada (and Europe), your nearest neighbour is now officially a Friend and Ally of Putin and Russia!\nThis is the Real Donald Trump we are now seeing. \nHe's been deeply involved with them for Decades, maybe now we need to know why?

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

Cant stand justin but standibg with all of canada on this one

Trump may be planning to pull a Putin on Canada. Invade and steal land and resources...
