Thank you for setting limits on the oligarchs! They understand nothing except money into the toll booths they've set up in the pathways to acquire products. They care nothing for the American people, let alone any other people. They are not interested in anything but disrupting and dismantling the US economy, as well as every other economy except Russian, so that they can THINK that they are controlling the world. As they are groveling at the feet of the Russian dictator, they are under the illusion that they will rule along side him. They will not and will be kicked aside as soon as they are no longer useful to him.

This is the dumbest timeline all thanks to Trump

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister! Americans don’t want this either, so secure your side of the border, stop all the fentanyl and illegal immigration coming in and the rest will automatically sort itself out ;)

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

We will survive because we are united as one. We have great leaders leading this war. We will survive. Many Canadians are doing their part by not buying American goods anymore. God protect our brave nation. Thank you, Prime Minister and Premier Ford.

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING.

go Europe. thanks for being honest. this american wants trump out of office, soon. the working class americans do not have the power, so diappionted with our GOP. they too away from our veterans, our farmers, children of the world, our elderly and us.

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

CNN is full of bots and they are anti American. These comments are all fake propaganda. Thank you President Trump keep the heat on them until they respect us .

Our country is screwed thanks to the complete dumb ass in charge. Let's align ourselves with our enemies and start shit with our friends. Brilliant... WTF

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

Canadian people are fine, it’s just you we don’t like. We will not align with you, you think like Biden no thank you. Same with Europe. We are Free and not giving that up. We outlawed fertilizer fool. Just set on your poison

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Stop calling Trump smart, please, and thank you.

Thank you sir you are a celebrated states man

thanks to all the sheep that voted for tru?p.

Great speech. Thank you Trudeau

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength. Thank you Canada for accelerating Trump’s way out of the WhiteHouse.-from a FilAm ?? ??

Shoutout to Justin Trudeau, thank you for being an actual leader during these very uncertain times. I truly hope your country will be able to help ours?

Thank the maga party they wanted this, I never voted for this.

My Hero!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau

As a Canadian thank you to everyone in the comments from other countries showing your support! It really helps us keep going ??❤

I am a US citizen who does not want trump as president. I don't want these tariffs against Canada or Mexico. I'm so sorry trump is doing these tarrifs. Do what you must for your people. I'll support Canada and the Mexican people. Thank you

Thanks you canada. Please no dictator. Brother and sister stand with Canadian. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤ thanks Pm.

Saying it like it is, thank you and HELP!!!

I'm with Mr. Trudeau on this one. Anybody with at least two brain cells...do you disagree? What the hell is wrong with people that would believe in this scum. How do you know if dump and muskrat really have your back? It sucks to be you. This is almost unbelievable. Pops, sorry, you go for this puke, I'm out and you have nothing to offer me. I don't need anything from you or your business or anything you wanted me to have that has blood money all over it. I'm a child of God's before your sperm donation. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAD. Congratulations on paying more for stock thanks to these idiots. If you are not for me, you ARE against me. I call bullshit on every single MAN on earth, including ME!

Thank you Trudeau for saying what many many Americans want to say!

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Thank you for standing up . Wake up Mrs. America , please ⏰️ time has run out.?????

Thank you sir for the soldiers who died for defending America as it has used NATO to wage its own wars. I understand why the Canadians have chosen the not to aid our tyranny. May we learn to work together again.

Thank you trump for not being a coward like Biden. America 1st, I’m glad trump and Vance stood up to that ungrateful clown

Wow! American here. I just scrolled through hundreds of responses, looking for idiots spouting maga talking points, and did not find a single one. This gives me hope. I just hope MAGA comes to their senses before our economy is ruined. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, and thank you, Canada.

Thank you!!!! Exactly!!???❤️

From a US Citizen... Canada remain strong and unlike our politicians stand up to all bullies. Trumples the Clown doesn't represent the good in the US... and to the veterans that spoke up... thanks for your service and thanks for once again standing up for the US

Thank you for being strong for your country. As an American we stand with you.

It is evident that comments like the one from @robertedward7023 demonstrate many, many people do not know what took place at the meeting before this meeting which should have made this meeting a simple signing of the agreement. VP Vance corrected Zelensky for his attempt to propagate his agenda and now that Germany, France and others--as NATO countries--have jumped in, there could be consequences resulting in war if they continue to push for it. As far as Trudeau, he is on his way out according to his own resignation and he has just done Canada wrong with the faulty reasoning. I thank all military veterans for their service, but I do not approve of what they say blindly.

We’re cooked ? thank you Canada for not backing down.

ftom Ohio..,thanks Canada for the truth and intelligence expressed ..\nif only 10% of amercan voters change their minds ftom your speech ..trump and lap dogs are finished

Well said JT THANK YOU for your strength. I hope you can stay in this fight because you are still needed. ??????

As an American, I say, thank you for standing up to Trump! We all pay the price for the fact that a bunch of fools thought it was a good idea to put an insane felon back in power.

Thanks Trudy for doing what the EU doesn't have the courage to do!

Well spoken, Crystal Clear. Thanks for

The price of hockey equipment just went through the roof thanks, Trump

Trudeau's actually sounding sensible in recent days... Thank you Trudeau, I stand with you...

Ohioan here. Thank you Canada. Someone has to stand up to trump and his spineless Republican party.

Thank you Canada - for doing what the GOP refuses to do. Hold Trump accountable.

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

From an American: Thank you for such a clear, dignified response.
