Who cares about Canada it’s 70 Asians muslim and Arabs. There for the free handouts. No one speaks French or cares. Loser nation.

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

Trudeau should be our next Prime Minister...!!! ?\nOur economies are so inter-twined because it WORKS! So many American companies have set-up plants in Canada in order to profit from doing business here. It's not just products that we MUTUALLY benefit from selling to each other, the US generates significant profits from its many operations in Canada, and those $Billions of dollars in profits that go back to American Investors is not included in the 'Trade Imbalance' that is a justification for the tariffs. With those profits included, I'd bet Canada is the nation with the imbalance not in its favor...

Look at all those pompous siuts mad because the money tree is withering . They are losing profit in outsourced contracts. All to keep thier nation under the heel of another nation that does all the industrial work for them.\n\nThis is an opportunity for American and any other nations to stop being handcuffed to outsourced industry. Do the hard blood sweat and tears, work that needs to be done to gain independence from Chinese industrial domination ( that the west itself birthed)

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, my heart is filled with such adoration. Spoken so concise and eloquently as a leader, yet remaining respectful. Thank you for standing up for our soverenty as an independent nation (not a 51st state) and us as Canadians will stand together with you through this unnecessary tumultuous storm. Again, we thank you ?? ? ? ❤️

This will hurt america way more than it will hurt Canada! Canadians are used to tightening their belts and pulling together and remember that when our trade deals are ratified with other countries and those relationships are built and new trade routes are forged bypassing the u.s. then the u.s. will be a stand alone country wait until Canadas oil and gas and electricity is turned , and let's talk about Canadas potash and just about everything else will be gone let's not forget about tourism because instead of making north America stronger Canada will be stronger and once we start getting fair market value for Canadian energy and our national debt is gone then it'll be bye bye Americans. You won't be the stronger nation on earth very much longer. Is America joining Russia as a new communist agreement.

We stand with you Canada, china and Mexico. Don’t allow a convicted criminal felon who escaped prison term to bully your nation. I blame morons and illiterate racial haters who voted for this dementia old man who thinks he is God. America, you can correct your stupid mistake in 2027 by voting out Republicans in congress. With that, this insanity is stop instantly. His brain will start to function.

I believe that the different Canadian parties need to get together to form a National Government to show the Americans that Canada is united.

Trump DOESN'T CARE about the lives off Fentanyl users..DOES NOT CARE. Tariffs are Trump's tool to EXTORT the affected nations....and to pretend he is tough when he is really a weak coward

We will stand strong and free. We love our American neighbors and friends, but we will not let this bully take advantage of our sovereign nation.

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

The majority of Americans don’t stand with Trump of his autocrat flunkies. We are a nation in distress.

As a Canadian living in the us, I’m extremely bothered that my govt would stab my home country’s back. We are bonded nations and I am disturbed that trump would do such a thing.

Stupidest president in the history of this nation. He is making Biden look like a star.

Canada is a ship without a rudder. A soft post nation state with a foolish dictator in charge

Look how he uses the term “Trade War” they started propaganda to start economic war. Our nation USA is only looking for its best interest for its nation and people. We are loving the Golden Age. Canada looks ridiculous with starting a TRADE WAR… not USA ??. Canada is retaliating. Simple.

And on Fox “News” they keep going as if it’s business as usual. All the way down to TDS and the Russia Hoax. From Europe it very much looks like a hostile takeover, from the dismantling of the judicial system, the weakening of intelligence services, the souring of relationships with pretty much all the historical important allies, be it nations and organisations to the dismantling of civil services that can create great internal uproar and conflicts.

As an American, I can say I 100% stand with Canada and their response. Trump and his henchmen are LITERALLY severing ties with our greatest allies while simultaneously sucking up to scumbag Putin! I can’t understand how this can be a good thing? We’re becoming just another authoritarian nation at this point…

I’m Irish, I am so proud of Mr.Trudeau a great politician and gentleman. My thoughts and prayers are with a proud nation.

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

Bro just focus on canada....lmao...I don't think foreign leaders should be speaking for Americans. You're not Americans. We both know why this is happening,,,you're country censors speech,,The Trumps administration do not like that one bit. As long as Canada is led by a liberal (meaning liberal/communist/marxist/woke policies being passed),,it's a threat to national security to the United States (If a republican is President). It just beats the logic of being an American.

Form Indiana my family and I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ??, the UK ?? and all European nations!

why even bother trying to speak to Trump or his crazy bunch of lunatics. You sit down with him one day all chummy and diplomatic and the next day or even at the same time he is stabbing you in the back ( Macron - Trump - United nations US vote with Russia) \nWe cannot trust trump anymore .

When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine had the world's third largest nuclear arsenal. Ukrainians were prepared to eliminate that arsenal to transfer the warheads to Russia, but the Ukrainians asked for security assurances that the United States and Russia would respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, that there would be no use of force or threat of force against Ukraine. \n The 1994 Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances was the document that reflects those commitments by the United States, Russia also joined by Great Britain to extend to Ukraine those assurances, including respect for its territorial integrity. \n it's very clear that Russia is in violation of its commitments, not only to the Budapest Memorandum, but also commitments that it's made as a member of the United Nations and also as a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Such a great Nation and all you Americans could come up with was Trump or Biden?? Unbelievable ?

Trumps agenda is only for himself to enter into the Golden Age at the cost of our entire nation

Mexicans and Canadians must unite in this nonsense comercial war. Let's support our nations by buying Mexican and Canadian goods!

Proud to see those who stand up and speak up, including our US volunteer soldiers in Ukraine (on Youtube) who spoke up after watching the Friday meeting. I pray for Peace, unity and open communication among the nations. A very concerned US citizen on many levels for the world.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

The world witnessed the embodiment of evil in the Oval Office. \n\nIn Prime Minister Trudeau the world witnessed exemplary leadership and integrity. \n\nAs an American it pains me to say that I am ashamed of our nation’s leaders.

America is the new baby russia. America is officially a communist-run nation. This is what americans voted for. So enjoy america, you deserve it so well ???????

Good for Canada, now that this nation (amuri-KKK-and world traitor of maggot trash) is operating under the stupidity of Donald dip-shit the idiot, and criminal felon liar. It is disgusting he appeases Putin, a Communist KGB tyrant and evil murderer.

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !

Hope Canadians know we as the nation do not agree and support Trump's move on imporsing tariffs, and we may not like it but we understand that as a sovereign nation, you have to protect yourselves ..

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.

This is what happens when a nation of uneducated people elects a president without understanding the issues. LEAVE THE CULT of TRUMP!

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

I am grateful for what the US has given me up until this point but now the idiotic Trump and his idiot followers are destroying a country I have grown up to love. Its time to leave and I encourage those that can to look at leaving the US. Canada, defend your economy and align with all the other nations in the world the US is in decline and will never be the same.

People forget that Canada has been ripping off the usa and has been subsidized by usa generosity for a long time. We have problems can't afford to continue unfair and unreasonable trade while our national debt continues to skyrocket.

America is only looking for FAIR and Free Trade America cannot afford to allow our nation to be taken advantage of any longer. America First!!!

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

Thank you Gen Clark. You're views are always intelligent and an excellent role model across nations. This is such a disgrace for the USA and will hurt everyone together because we are all friends and our success happened together. I can't believe some people voted for this.

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

This is about USA jobs that free trade has moved overseas and the middle class restoration. Regan did the same thing and added tariffs on jap motorcycles and quotas on JAP CARS saving Detroit car company’s and the steel industry and saving the rust belt..... Than wall st shipped the jobs to communist china and south vetnamn putting the USA’s national security at risk…no one will ever go after wall st gamblers they are a protected class.

WHY DID WE CHOOSE TRUMP? Why do we keep choosing a party that has NEVER shown they were for the people? And of course, we knew what Trump was going to do. He was already president and we said 'no more'. He told us what he was going to do, we knew he was going to do it but many said 'oh he's not serious'. If you voted for Trump, you voted for this. If you are a democrat and didn't vote for Kamala, or vote at all, you voted for this. You voted for higher prices, less benefits for regular people, bigger tax cuts for the rich and a larger national debt and the US no longer a leading country.

Just fell in love again with Canada. Thats how it should be in every nation

As a Canadian, I will take hardship over the loss of my nation. To a convicted criminal. A rapist. A fraud.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.
