MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

Trump has declared war on all of the US allies, but has decided to give his new ally Russia and buddy Putin a pass. Isn’t it clear by now, that Trump and the GOP are clearly Russian assets?; there is no other plausible explanation for what has happened with Mexico, Canada, Europe and of course Ukraine. Trump is obviously working together with the Russians, to create a new World order led by Putin, with Trump as his second in command. The GOP are traitors.

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

Trump actions on Tarrifs, gutting of very important agencies, and sacking of thousands of federal government employees, point to a very grim possibility, that Trump is bent on tanking America's economy and alienating allies, for reasons best known to Trump, the highest levels of America's leadership and intelligence agencies (PROBABLY), and, POSSIBLY America's enemies.

I’m a US citizen and I so sorry that the Trump Administration has chosen to do this to Canada. Trump is a lunatic and is surrounded by evil people who support his wild decisions that hurt other countries and US citizens. Canada is a fantastic country and have always been our closest friends and best ally.?. I would love to move to Canada where sane people live!! Again, I apologize.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

Actually our closest friend and ally is israel ??

Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.

Maybe ally soon will expelled all american forces in their territory too..

Gen. Wesley Clark is somebody that, i have respected for over thirty years. Even Gen. Clark has expressed his displeasure over the way the Trump administration has threatened Canada with unfair tarrif's, on US'S closest ally and neighbour. It is obvious that Putin is manipulating Trump so as to isolate the US from its traditional friends and alies, as US credibility will decline internationally. Tarrif's will bring higher prices to American manufacturers and consumers and bring higher unemployment to Americans.

I still can't believe that we are being attacked by our best ally. The country that is supposed to represent freedom. The US administration is behaving worse than Russia. The EU and North American allies have been abandoned and assaulted. The vacating of the leadership position in the free world will be taken advantage of by other countries. How much damage has to be done?\n\nTo the Canadian government: Open maximum trade to the EU and friendly countries in Asian the short fall must be attempted to be spanned.

Well done Canada. Always our most closest friend and ally in North America! ?? ??

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

At this point, I have the feeling that the President of the United States has been infiltrated. He is acting exactly how a Russian spy would act. He is trying to destroy all good relations with his allies so that Russia can attack Europe with impunity.

From Romania here: \nwhat a clean and honest speech! Respect for Canada!\nMr. Trump, It is miserable to ally with a criminal. Shame on you! USA is not your company, it's the free world!

What happened to trump?his turning their ally into an enemy?siding with the evil like putin?

The stupidity of trump is incompetent for him to take sides with Russia over our allies will weaken our country and maybe allow our real enemies to invade our country because of his actions getting rid of people who have experience and knowledge in the job they been doing for years all this action just to be able to get close with Putin to be a dictator also in a country that has been free for over 250 years I want to see if people that support him and the republican will agree with him over the wishes of the American people.

Well done CANADA. You have spoken clearly, letting the American people know, that it is the TRUMP GOVERNMENT that is causing the TRADE WAR. Trudeau spoke like a FREIND & ALLI who will not accept anything to do with a TRUMP/PUTIN deal. This is how to deal with a BULLY & A PERSON WHO IS UNTRUSTWORTHY like PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Trump is ruining America and its allies……truly sad and then HE supports Putin who would in a second kill Trump and then brag about it.

I don’t think is good ideas to do this your allies country or friend in my own opinion period. That’s sad

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.

It doesn't matter how Canada & Mexico complying with Trump he is using this to destroy our Nation and blame everyone ous, in other to allied USA-Russia..this was his motive all the time. It is time to take our country back from this lunatic Trump.?

I said it when DJT ran for President the first time. He doesn't know how to run a country. He is not Presidential at all. He is going to bankrupt our country. Put out safety at risk while alienating longtime allies. We have never in my life time trusted Russia. What we will be leaving our future generations is debt. More debt then we've ever known.

Im so sick of this clown… i thought you resigned? Its not ok to tariff “our closest friend?”\nYet canada is ripping us off by billions in trade and has zero control of their border? Is that how friends and allies act!!! The us isnt in desperate need of you canada\nAlso…. DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT RUSSIA AND PEACE OR WAR OR ANYTHING OF THE MATTER !!! YOU CANNOT EVEN PROTECT YOURSELF! We american pay to protect your pansy ass!!!

If trump thinks for a moment that he and putin can ally against the rest of the world in trade, or in any other way, he's delusional. Putin is NOT trustworthy and will renege on any agreements he makes, that's what he does.

America has fallen to fascism. There’s nothing Americas allies can do when the USA is siding with Russia.

European Union here, Czech Republic. We stay with us Canada, we stay with you! And let's bypass Trump's America with Mexico and the whole South America as our allies too. BTW the Arab league can be our friends too and many countries in Africa and Asia, South Africa and Australia as well. Let us not be dominated anymore, let us finally freely cooperate!

Most of the US people are with are Canadian and Mexico allies. \n\nWell the others are with Trump and his circus.

Eliminating our allies so that Trump and his evil doers can take over our country but there are idts that can't see it. Way doesn't anyone talk about that because that is what is going on. I am okay with what our allies are doing because maybe that is what will wake up these people that support this madness. The United States is like walking around in a forest with wolves just waiting for us to be sleeping or just not protected and attack use. Trump said Ukraine was starting WWlll that is bull shit he is and it is all part of the plan.

God Bless PM Trudeau. This American agrees with you. God Bless our allies in Canada. ❤

Disgusting traitors! No 'ally' should come to US aid ever again. Canada, Mexico helpd with their fires. They turned on Europe ( thru Ukraine)& threaten Australia too.

I’m not particularly a savvy political person, but even I could see this coming. Trump/Musk have chosen to start a war against our own people & isolating us from allies & neighbors is a particularly bad move. Who will defend us against Russian aggression when we have no allies & friends left. And make no mistake-this fits right into Putin’s plans. If The US is no longer able to stand against him, who will? It has been a balance of power that has kept democracy flourishing and given Americans so much freedom & prosperity. Trump/Musk are nothing but greedy fools who will end up destroying our country. ???

AMERICA IS FCKD!! You may be able to survive a trade war with Canada, you may be able to survive a trade war with Mexico and China, you may be able to survive sending millions of undocumented, necessary workers home but you can't survive it all at once.\n To make your situation even more dire you are busily alienating all your allies while sucking up to murderous dictators who will happily knife you in the back at the first opportunity. \nAll this because your country is full of stupid, hateful people who just couldn't stand the thought of a black female president. \nFAFO.

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.

What a bunch of mf R3t@rds in this comment section. \n\nCanada, we don't need you. We never did. Who tf wants to be allies with a country that supports the self-mutilation and suic!d3$ of its own citizens anyway??? Pathetic.

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

I like trump and what he stands for but since he took office he's been a real scumbag to all the allies. As a brit we should help Canada as much as possible, America Is not America and ut won't be for many many years, after trump it will be Vance as president then another bully after that. Europe needs to stand up all over the place fxxk America and Russia, conventionally Russia wouldn't stand a chance against the EU its time we stood up.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

What a funked up presidency. The Moscow Agent Governing America is isolating rhe US from ALL allies. Good luck fucxers

please do not call them Allies !!!

After a speech like this, discourse and solutions are supposed to follow. It's how we work with peers in school, it's how business allies work.\n\nInstead, Trump may see this as a harsh message and fire up the heat to turn this into a spectacle-- arguments, ego, threats. And then the actions will be reactions and attacks instead of solutions. i think the issue lies in that my statements-- no matter if you're Red or Blue, ring factually correct to Trump\ns behavior. he's not here to save citizens or solve issues. He is here for us to watch his reality TV show-- but it's also our own reality!! \n\nHOW IS THE US AND CANADA IN A TRADE WAR RIGHT NOW IN 2025!? I don't understand!!!

As American people, we want to still be allies and work with you too. The Trump/musk/Putin governments needs to stop their current chaotic districts activities. The Trump government does not speak for me or my fellow Americans. They only speak for themselves. They are greedy bastards!!!!

ALLYS AND FRIENDS TREAT EACHOTHER EQUALLY 200 BILLION IN TRADE DEFFICIT A YEAR TO CANADA WILL HAPPEN NO MORE... EVERY 5 YEARS THATS - 1 TRILLION

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.

As an American the citizens don't really have a choice on what trump decides to do. If you want to match his 25% tariffs I think you should. We qlso don't want to help putin hurt others. We want to work with Canada our allies. I don't personally know anyone that doesn't agree with this but that doesnt meant they do not exost.

Trump’s tariffs are hurting everyone!! Utterly ridiculous! We need our allies and friends just like they need us. These tariffs are jeopardizing our freedom or economy and our security!!!

As an Italian American living in New York, with Italian French-Canadian cousins living in Quebec, its really upsetting to see our relationship with our closest allies fall apart due to the greed and stupidity of only a hand full of people – if you can even call them that.

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.\nWhat unites us is far greater than what divides us. The issues and irritants that inevitably affect all neighbors are small deed in comparison with the issues that we face together--above all the somber threat now posed to the whole neighborhood of this continent--in fact, to the whole community of nations. But our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.\n\n*John F. Kennedy*

### **Americans, Wake Up Before It’s Too Late!** \n \nDo you realize what’s happening? **Donald Trump is pushing the world toward World War III.** This is not a conspiracy, this is not speculation—this is reality. A man who **wears two diapers and has little time left to live** doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone. He has no vision for the future, because in his mind, **there is no future.** \n \nThis is just the beginning. **If you think things are bad now, imagine what’s coming next.** Trump and his billionaire allies, including **Elon Musk**, are playing a dangerous game, one that could **end civilization as we know it.** These are not leaders—they are reckless, power-hungry individuals with no regard for the world that you and your children will inherit. \n \n? **Trump must be impeached before he takes us all down with him!** \n? **Musk must be held accountable before his reckless ambitions destroy what’s left of our planet!** \n \nThis is not about politics. This is about survival. **The future of humanity depends on our ability to stop them now!**
