Gosh, how is it possible that 2 people Putin and Trump make such a mess in the world?!

Wake up people trump is trying to start world war 3 and he has picked his alliance.

I am canadian, and I hate being the laughing stock of the world, I hope Trump bankrupts canada and we all can be Americans!! You cannot eat pride, and turdeaus idea of helping the people is taking the tax off of booze for a couple months to sedate us,,,

the U.S is not a trustworthy ally anymore. The U.S has always had the best and smartest people in the world, but sadly U.S citizens chose to elect a dumb person as it's leader and now they all have to pay the price... really sad.

Trump will endanger the world ,he must be stopped by the American people before it is too late.

Basically Trump wants to bully the world and run over the country you were elected president. This alignment has\n no point to the process except to take the prosperity from our gates.\nTrump must be taken out of office people

Trump is now in bed with Russia and Canadians will never lower themselves to that level, we know there are some great people in the United States please get your house in order, and return to the good side on the world stage.

As a german I can okay say wow. What a difference. That’s the way a leader of a country should speak and behave like. Not like that child and clown in the Oval Office who is so much in love with himself. Do the people of USA even have the slightest clue how the country looks like to the whole world for so many years? Amerika used to be THAT country everyone wants to go to finally see it. Now it’s the least interesting place in the world I want to be.

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

Not my place to say, i love American people as much i do for Canadians, but go out check in the world, most countries do not like America bcause of this kind of policies, aggression and hatred. No woder he has only ONE LONE friend, Putin.

Starting this trade war is not only the craziest political decision I have seen in my entire life, it destroys the relationship between the US and its closest allies on purpose. A relation that has been built over decades. People and businesses on both sides of the pond will suffer badly from this idiotic agenda for no real reason. The USA is now officially at trade war with the free world.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

I cannot really understand why Trump is so brutal. He has not long ago become President in USA. He should be just happy and enjoy life and looking forward into the future. Why are you so destructive and cruel to people around the world?\nSharpen up, for Gods sake!?

Wolf how the hell are still feeding the world your filthy lies how do you sleep at night wonder what the good lord above thinks of all your fake filthy lies that truly affect people that aren’t smart enough to know you are fake news.

American here. So embarrassed by all this. Treudeau is intelligent, thoughtful and realistic and he’s resigning!! We have a narcissistic imbecile as President who it is an embarrassment that people elected him. The world is getting weirder.

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

To the people all over the world who supports ??, ???! To our ?? friends, we do not blame you, we blame your government. We support you as you are supporting us, but it’s time to push back before it’s too late. Together let’s stop this madness!!!

Well, Americans can hear first-hand that Canada has gone above and beyond to maintain a peaceful, productive alliance. This will hurt the working class people in all countries associated, but the working class Americans more than any other group. \n\nThis is a sad day in world history.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

We are angry - with those people who ignorantly voted for Trump and those people who chose not to vote. Not the people who chose to vote democratically to remain a democratic country. We are clear that his real agenda is to use this trade war to attempt to coerce us into becoming the 51st state. For MANY reasons, we will not EVER become part of Trump’s America. We will collectively fight in any way possible, even though we know it will be tough, to prevent it. We also know that there is a bigger picture in that it’s clear that Trump is aligned with Putin in the push to destroy democracy globally in favour of an authoritarian world order that benefits only the ultra rich. Canada, the Ukraine, Greenland and Panama are stepping stones to that end goal.

Can you not see it? Donald Grump wants this. His next move is to ask the military to invade Canada and Mexico. And Grump will tell lies again to the American people why he is doing it. And dumb Americans will believe it. \nHe told Zelensky about WWIII? Grump is the one who’s starting it. And why is that? Simple, Grump and Putin are BFF’s that wants to rule the whole world. \nSane Americans should start a revolution and kick Grump and his cronies out of the office and jail them all in Quantico.

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

If he is selling himself to Americans and abusing President Trump. Why does he not accept the unification with the United States and become its 51st state? Then, he can try his luck to become President of the United States. That's good for the world as well, and good for Canadian people as well.

Anyone on the planet would give anything to have a neighbour like Canada. Justin Trudeau, the world is witnessing how you have risen up to a bully and protected your country and your people. America is run by a goon, and Russia is happy about it.

WEF Puppet and tin pot dictator. I hope his people remember what he did to the truckers. \n\nTrump is putting his country first just like our wet behind the ears prime minister Two-Tier-Kier should be doing instead of spaffing our tax money up the wall. All of you who sat in London are a disgrace. You think you can wage war with Russia risk putting us into world war 3 and win, but I suggest, no longer are your screws just loose, but they have fallen out completely. The lunatics truly have taken over the asylum as they deliberately seek the great reset regardless of the cost of millions of lives. ?

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Congratulations to Trump. He has sought out to apparently “put America first”. But all it appears he is accomplishing is galvanising the rest of the free world against the United States. My sincerest apologies to the American people you have been truly led astray

What in this world did USA expect. trump the person that performed lewd acts on a microphone. 34 counts convicted felon. trump is trying to hurt America. Make there be no mistake about. Look how musk is taking a chainsaw against American Vets that work in the government. Then displayed an act with a chainsaw on national TV like it is a funny joke. trump is pitiful. A menace and a criminal. 6 times bankruptcy business fool. And there are so many other foul acts trump has taking against the American people. All I can say is seat back and feel the pain trump has and still will cause our country.

t this moment the only people who can stop that are the Americans. Stop Trump. The world around will do for you what ever is possible.

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

THE WHOLE WORLD NEED TO HELP USA PEOPLE TO END THIS NIGHTMARE. ??????WE DON’T HAVE LAW, SUPREME COURT, CONGRESS, SENATE ,JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, HITLER WAS A GERMANY DICTATOR IN ONLY 6 MONTHS.HELP PLEASE.?

Wesley Clark is a tool. \n\nHe knows very well that the US cannot get in a shooting with Russia. Not only due to the possibility of a nuclear exchange, but a shooting conflict with Russia is a golden opportunity for China to take Taiwan and for a full scale war to break out in the Middle East. Not only between Iran and Israel, Egypt has been building up forces near Israel as well. \n\nThe US can’t fight and win a 3 theatre war. Aka WWIII. \n\nEveryone knows these tariffs are about the USMCA, in addition to drugs and aliens. This could have been averted. They know it. They’d rather let their people suffer than give up a favorable trade imbalance for a slightly less favorable trade imbalance. \n\nBut for Trudeau to invoke appeasement knowing the real stakes. And knowing that the only thing preventing hostilities breaking out elsewhere in the world is the US having freedom of action to respond, is shameful. \n\nAnd Wesley Clark, along with the rest of the neocon geopolitical apparatus, being willing to flirt with WWIII because Trump is pulling the plug on their imperial project in Ukraine.. downright traitorous.

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

When will all you smart people wake up? Trump is Putin's Puppet and he has no choice but to destroy everything that Amrica and the Western World stands for. He must follow orders from Putin.

Maybe it will come to a Russia, Ukraine deal between Canada and the US,people will suffer, die! It's all part of the real plan ! One world order

Trump forgets, or never knew where all the American planes landed during 9-11. The Canadian people and specifically Newfoundlanders, fed and took care of people from all over the world. He would charge the people on the planes if they landed in he US! And ask for the mineral rights in their countries!

Gone are the days of the USA being the leader and defender of democracy, DJT and his administration want to destroy democratic values in the US and around the world . He is closer to Putin and Russia than anyone else . If we dont fight back our standard of living is going to go down the drain and we`ll live similarly to the russians . A few oligarchs and the rest of the people struggling to survive

The American people hired Trump to do exactly what he’s doing. Tired of being the world’s bank. Trudeau DO NOT LECTURE AMERICANS. You need to address your own citizens. You’ve destroyed Canada. You should resign. You’re a commie. Just like your daddy Castro.

The Donald's least concern is his people, his poor people, because his millionaire friends Bezos, Musk, and company are going to get richer, a lot richer, with all these moves. Like Napoleon Bonaparte and Hitler, Trump sees himself as the great conqueror of the world, the chosen one, the incarnation of Jesus on Earth, and his followers believe he is. The poor devils, as ignorant as Trump himself.

Is a great speach but we all know what this country support. Criminal behavior child s trafficing and so on. Trump clearly stated he will take down the cartels and everyone who work with them. \nIf people knew what happens Behind closed doors people would not support it. And we also know this was plqnned long ago so the world war 3 will begin. \nMabye they pretend to be against eachother so people will be fooled once again.

Trudeau, respect for your attitude. Sad for the Americans who will fill, and only economically, that in this world are also people who care about other people and respect each other. Let’s unite together and fight the dictatorship from USA at this moment.

Trump is absolutely destroying America as the world knows it, if that tyrant is not reined in, the people will suffer immensely, this is nothing but a manufactured crisis used as a tactic to demonstrate their power, and then solve it and become the savior of the people. Trump is the symbol in which the ultra wealthy elite and the fascists have concentrated their efforts, he’s a puppet of that oligarchy and someone who is subjected to a very obscure tie to Putin. What kind of information does Putin hold to exert that amount of influence over Trump? It must be something bigger than Trump’s mere admiration of his autocratic power…

Welcome to the Axis of Evil, morons. If you think people around the world will just stop buying Teslas, think again.

Canadians are one of the nicest people in the world but once injustice took place we can be harsh sorry bout that.

Let's be clear Mr. Trudeau, with your pandering to the EU.. No one in your country is at risk. You're so cozy up there taking other countries and other people's money. Nobody in your country is at risk of harm, unless you want to try something? Come on Son! The U.S. is tired of War. We The People are tired of the killing, the killing you are so comfortable with. There is enough War in the world without you adding to it. Are we crystal clear now? We don't need you. And I am willing to go without a few things to prove it to you. I think a lot of Americans are now. We'll see. MAGA ??

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THE NEW WORLD ? ORDER & ITS A WORLD ? STAGE OF DECEPTIONS \nONLY JESUS CAN BE TRUSTED!

In America, no politician is allowed to have a vision that will benefit the people and the nation. The essence of America is to be consumed by corporate America until money chooses to leave the country when America runs out of incentives to keep it on its soil. As long as the purpose of America is to keep the dollar as a world currency and make it easy for business to operate on its soil, America politicians cannot make an acceptable proposition to the Americans left behind. America is a money making machine for corporate America and an indebtedness machine for the nation and its citizens. This love affair with money will sooner or later break the country. It is taboo to speak about the source of America's problems.

My response to the USA people: We will give you access to the Arctic, we will work together, we will sign new deals for the minerals and electricity that you need, we can work together to do all these things and beyond.\n\nWe will defend the continent together, we've always been your friends. Just ask what you need, and we will politely agree. Always been that way... why the sudden change? Just leave our economy and sovereignty alone. What is this?? Why are we even having that conversation today ? Your 80-year old president wants to destroy the World, the same world we all lived in for generations, for what? He won't even be alive in the next 5-10 years. Was your President offered good money and other people are running the show? Seems likely to me.\n\nI have no words honestly.

Not surprised. Trump, you're an idiot. You will lose all your allies and significant trade lanes because you have no idea how to run your country and negotiate. Your economy and people will suffer. If you isolate US from the rest of the world, who will come to your aid if Russia decides to take you over? Where will the Americans flee to? Mexico?
