President Donald Trump made controversial comments regarding Canada during a recent trip to North Carolina. Trump claimed that the United States is losing $200 billion a year due to trade imbalances with Canada, specifically mentioning cars and lumber as examples. He attributed this loss to what he called “bad management” over the past four years.
In a surprising revelation, Trump stated that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau allegedly admitted to him in a conversation that Canada would be a “failed nation” without subsidies from the United States. Trump further claimed that he responded by suggesting that Canada should become a state of the U.S. However, Trump provided no evidence to support these statements.
The comments made by President Trump have sparked discussions and debates regarding the trade relationship between the United States and Canada. Many are questioning the validity of Trump’s claims and are calling for more transparency and evidence to support such assertions. The ongoing tensions and uncertainty surrounding trade policies between the two countries continue to be a point of contention.

Trudeau's biggest mistake was showing weakness….he screwed up.
That alone should have prompted an election….Trudeau failed us
In my 68 yrs, I've lived about 20 in the US, thanks but no thanks, I'll gladly pay higher tax for the privilege and much less stressful life i have in Canada.
This man can't help lying. He has no shame the whole talk is filled with lies. Does he realize we would all take a leap off Niagra falls than have you as president
I feel nauseous just hearing his voice
Thanks again Global for airing all the lies with out pushback or correction, giving us nothing but 2 minutes of misinformation. Are you on his payroll or something?
Ha!!!
If they don't need our resources, why are they purchasing them? Pure generosity?
Canada right now is a broken demoralized nation. Whatever happens step one is to vote in a new government.
The US is on track to record a trade deficit with Canada of roughly C$65bn ($45bn) in 2024 not 200 billion, but that would flip to a C$60bn surplus for the US if energy were removed from the equation. Trump is a liar Trudeau never said that according to people who were there. Canada just launched a new Ice Breaker and more coming. The number one reason for personal bankruptcy in the USA is medical related debt. Trump is a liar!
No way do I want to be American, The healthcare system in the states suck badly, the immortality rate in the states is really high and with this abortion law they put in a lot of women have been dying from miscarriages cause of lack of healthcare. Any Canadian that wants to be American can just go move there.
We allow this, we allow that, gosh the ORANGE NINCOMPOOP is so full of himsel and as his usual make up stuff and lie like his daddy was still alive and he needed his approval, he's such a waste of space, he should be the first and only man on Mars, that should be his legacy!
Every time he opens his mouth he is embarrassing my country
Trudeau should call him out on this.. call him a complete liar.. go out with a bang by ripping in to Trump
… better health coverage?! Come again?
Hey Canadians, is it time for Canada to consider building its own nuclear weapons?
The poor man!
If Trump told me it was raining outside, I would check if it was true.
Canada needs to build its own powerful companies and never rely on USA again. We have the good Education and resources. Why beggar? It is time for CHANGE!!!
Canadians can survive without you. Donald T. Enjoy your power for 4 yrs. Man like you won’t last long in power. You are a carbon copy of Chinese. They are bullying Philippines. God is watching. Look at the disaster in California. You are being cursed. Sorry for the Americans who are suffering now. No help from Washington.
Canadians no more travelling in US. “please .Trump you are nớt welcome here in Canada. For thé citizens you are most welcome to cross the border.
start with election right away ,…. elect Conservative with strong majority and it will already help alot. And mes chers quebecois, le bloc ne sert a rien, votez pour les bon candidats, les auttre, faite place au conservateurs et ca va nous aider beaucoup . ensuite au provincial, elisez ( :p ) les conservaeurs, et au municipale, bien , allez du coter conservateur encore 😉 . cest votre meilleure option 🙂 , specialement en 2025 😉
As we are in the same boat as Mexico, i think long term interests best if we partner exclusively with them, the two of us sharing all the resources a nation could need would be very influential and independent from the rest of the world..
The news is trying to make you think Trump is the problem but it’s our own Canadian politicians who have let Housing , Rent , Gas and Groceries be unaffordable
Alberta needs to step up and join USA . MAGA make Alberta great again.
Canadian Politicians have no interest in making your life Easier there always taking
Trump used trudeau for click bait
American President should talk politely not arrogant. Canada will never a poor nation even if no trade happens between them. It’s always based on joint profit basis. US president said too much!!! in haste😢
Canada is under a serious threat that should have you at least consider boycotting greedy American platforms like Netflix, Facebook, Spotify, Amazon … Your job and livelihood depend on your willingness to resist. Freedom has a price.
Hate trump so you don’t Blame the Useless Canadian politicians for not doing their Job
Would be? We are over 1000 BILLION dollars in debt. Have a PM nobody voted for and everyone hates but refuses an election, a housing crisis, immigration crises i cant name a single good thing about this country right now. We are a failed nation.
I'm in!!!
Lower taxes.
Stronger dollar.
Best Constitution.
Best healthcare.
No tariffs.
1st Amendment.
2nd Amendment.
God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏 and its beeeeeauty Constitution!!
The comments shadowbanning. 🫢
Trump spew out number like it’s vomit. The numbers are not real. Nor does Canada rely on the US for our way of living. Canada population is one tenth of the US. And he wants each of us to buy ten time what we need to equal their one purchase of Canadian goods. If that’s what you called equal. Bye bye. I don’t need American goods that badly. Cheaper from China any day.
All hail king Trump of the United States of America!!!!!💪💪
I am confident that Trudeau did NOT say that AT ALL. Trump is such a liar. Wow.
NATO should be on standby in case they need to come and defend Canada.
reading these comments ive realized canada is screwed
Trump is a liar or fool or both. See US Smoot Harley protectionist legislation, 1930, which contributed if not triggered The Great Depression.
