I hope Canada and the EU can get closer, and set up trade of most of our natural resources with them BEFORE Trump get yelled at to change things so theyre extra screwed. I also dont understand why the USA is so hell bent on making Russia happy and their Allies angry, is the USA and RUSSIA the new Allies? Dont Americans find this unnerving??!?!?!?! This is all goijng to make China the new real SuperPower on its own with a ton of Soft Power while they continue to ramp up development around the world and the USA is being gutted by a business man and his unelected NAZI buddy Elon....so weird...!

This guy is an idiot and I’m sorry Canada that you have them as your Prime Minister say what you want about Trump. This guy is definitely a disgrace with no backbone of his own. He just looks like a sad, pathetic man. Why would you want him running your country he looks weak. He speaks weak. All he’s gonna do is hurt your country.

Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

Be strong canadians ! Freindly from France ! Together against Trump the orange man and TESLA the Musk's cash-machine.

Trump is not a smart man. He's a con man.

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

Trumps a smart man?!? ?

This man announced his resignation in almost 2 months ago, then prorogued parliament, then backed the other WEF globalist dude immediately available even though never once elected to public office, and is now speaking on behalf of a country he has never really supported at all.\nHe reads a good speech, that was written by a speech writer, but his past decade of actions haven't been pro Canadian.\nCanada will be fine. With or without Trudeau, Trump or any other narcissistic politician that loves the sound of their own voice.

trump and maga are not protectees of americans or america, they are only self serving.\nfentynel is bs, trumps candy man ronnie was doling out fentenyl right in the white house with no count maintained. no individual it was given to, nothing, except for the annual report, it was there during trump/maga admin. gone when they gone. there is a date it was given, to whoever? in the white house.

I agree with everything PM JT said, except one thing: Trump is not a smart man (even by Florida standards).\n\nWe as Europeans should stand by our Canuck friends like they have stood with us! Sign a free trade agreement with Canada! They are steadfast, reliable, fierce friends. Uncle Sam clearly has brain rot.

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

Trump is such a stupid,narcissist, dangerous man,he's nuts

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

Trump is not worth looking at. Evil Man

Donald Trump is not a smart man. He's a moron.

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

I hope Trump supporters listen to this man!! HE is telling the truth that Trump and his cronies won't tell you!!

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

Sir you are far too kind to trump,he is a dangerous evil man. Trump is not smart he is ignorant and has no desire to learn.

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

Please Prime Minister it is not the United States. IT IS ONE MAN. DONALD KRAZNOV TRUMP.

God Bless America ?? \nI back Donald Trump 1000% \nDonald is a smart man Canada knows it and it is time for them to pay up.

Trump is causing destruction of his own Country,a bad man evil in fact ?

Such a good man, who has chosen to worship GOD, and NOT TRUMP! THANK YOU, Mr. Prime Minister!!

You cannot succeed appeasing a tyrant. I just don't understand why no one seems to understand that. Donald Trump is mentally disturbed and you KEEP trying to communicate with a crazy man. Stop it! Assume his craziness and take next steps!

I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

WHY is the United States allowing Trump to throw our country away? Where are our electric leaders, our justice system, who is protecting us from this mad Man?

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

Please know that this is TRUMP’S war. He cheated to get into office with the help of putin and his weasels!\nPlease stop this crazy man!!!

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

When are these republicans going to wake up? Trump is leading his whole party and the rest of the country off a cliff! Start a trade war with Canada for absolutely no apparent reason? This man’s agenda will come to light, because there is a reason he’s doing this, it’s just not common knowledge.

Great reaction! The Americans voting for Trump have to wake up and see that they had a big part in making his dangerous nonsense possible. Tho world has to stop this mad man as soon as possible before it's too late!

I never voted for this group of freaks, President musk is out of control, his aid and Colluder, Donald Trump and the Joker JD Vance their personal interest at heart and their own pockets, trillionaire their friends out and screw the rest of us for the people who voted for him in the United States. You also will be affected a man born a privilege and wealth had your back.

A real man that has morals and integrity. Trump will still lie and blame the tariffs on Canada.

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?

You had one things wrong Mr.Trudeau: Trump is not a smart man.

?Trump is indeed a traitor. It will not come soon enough gor that man to be imprisoned.?

This man is trying to turn Americans against Trump \n\nDemocrats are behind all of this

Why on earth did he have to say that Trump is a smart man? Trump is an idiot and the world knows it.

Trudeau is absolutely wrong....Donald Trump is not a smart man in the least.

Canadá has this wonderful man ad their leader and they want to fire them shame in them let's trade take Trump we want Justin

This man is trying to turn Americans against Trump \n\nDemocrats are behind all of this

we know you guys dont want this nor does us true Americans want it. trump wants this to pretend like hes a tough guy to make him feel like a man for a split second cause deep down he knows hes a disgusting person.

Trump laughed at Biden but he is the same not OK old man now. He wanted to make America great again but raised inflation, lost neighbours, allies, buyers of military equipment and his own political profit. In one day America has become not the first country in the world but it has become known that EU helped Ukraine more and that all countries can live without US. ?

Does Trump have a deal with Putin, that if he sells out to Ukraine, and ends the huge costs to Russia of waging the war, Trump gets quid pro quo in new resorts set up under Trump in Russia with umpteen billions going back to Trump as under the table kick-backs? These are the sort of deals you would expect from a man convicted of so many felonies... What other explanation could there be for Trump selling us all out to one of our most dangerous enemies...? The dictionary definition of treason...!

Looks to me like everyone is loosing except Trump’s EGO!!!?\nBig Boss Man RIGHT?..?

I’m very very proud to be Canadian! I’m extremely proud that I’ve sold off ALL of my USA held stocks prior to the market fall! I will never ever moving forward invest in USA! Ever! Even when Trump is dead and buried! I’m done with the country that voted for the man the second time. Shame!
