He is doing it because Canada refuses to be the 51st state. He is a demented psychopathis lunatic traitor.

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

Good Canada at last

This person made Canada a safe Haven for terrorists and drug cartels. Why is Canada allowing such people to talk about USA. He did the same for India (Modi) and was forced to resign

God bless Canada. Strong speech. This is what we need in Europe. From Vilnius, Lithuania.

Even us here in Florida stand with you Canada ??

Canada in a nutshell: Trudeau dug our grave, lowered our coffin. Trump came and hammered the final nail.

From the future Republic of Deseret (currently Utah). I stand with Canada.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Europe can buy your gas and oil instead of USA.

I've worked since the age of 12 years, now I see my retirement disappearing and live in daily fear of being homeless. I only have my voice to fight back and I support Canada.

Please Canada has abused all of the help he gets from the USA \n\nCOME ON

Make that Make Sense! Standing with our ally. Canada is Standing on Business!

I'm a Detroiter, I live right across the river from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This is going to kill the U.S. Auto Industry! I stand with CANADA on this one ??

Trudeau destroyed Canada with carbon taxes and bad liberal policies. Trudeau is a spoiled rich brat dictator. \nNow he is using trump as a smoke screen.

Very professional ? \nNo gutter language, no tantrum, no name calling, or disrespecting anyone, unlike the baby in the White House.\nJT got the message across in a very clear manner. \nThank you JT for being a good ambassador for Canada ??

Canada is all blow and no go. Only heard blah blah blah.

It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

Indigenous American here, we stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe! Not russia.

Putin's puppets have marching orders to divide our country, trash our economy, destroy our security, remove us from NATO to eliminate allied relationships. Then Donald can just hand over Ukraine to a murderous thug named Putin. Pretty much on track, I'd say. They have been bought and sold their souls to the devil.\n\nI support Canada and hope they continue to stand up to the bullies. It breaks my heart that enough people voted for an adjudicated rapist, 34x convicted felon, conman, pathological liar, malignant narcissist grifter who is now calling the shots. He is Putin's puppet... pure and simple, Donald's a traitor!

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

To the world a warning...president trumpet Trump will have his Knight of the long knifes and Canada and Mexico are just the beginning,,trust me on this you just wait and see people.

Canada is the second powerful next to russia. Never treat them trump they can stand by itself

So why doesn't Canada just drop their terrifs of their products to the US?

This Mexican American stands with our President TRUMP! USA…USA….\nWe don’t need Canada, CNN is also FAKE NEWS!?

Screw you Canada???

United States did not start this trade war. Trump and the Republican Party did and I’m so sorry Canada because you don’t treat a friend and neighbor like that !

Canada needs to stop all oil and power to usa.

Canada, will you accept us if we want to become citizens of your company???

I am a conservative Canadian. I should admit this was the BEST speech I ever heard from Trudeau ! We are all together in this war ! God bless Canada ??❤️

Canada must join European Union :D

Relax. Trump knows what he’s doing. It’s time for Mexico and Canada to lower their tarrifs so we all on even playing field.

The US sends far, far more illegal drugs and illegal guns into Canada than Canada sends to the US.

A American Marine Corp Veteran stands with you Canada. Stay strong. What Maga doesn't realize is there are many 3rd party voters who are going to start working on doing the things that need to be done to throw the road blocks because he has definitely started down the road road to dictatorship.

EU ❤Canada | US ??????

We ❤love You Canada, and we respect you. Do what you need to do because we are not dealing here in USA with normalities. The 2025 Government is not qualified to their positions,but they are there to help the billionaires, while we the people starve. WE STAND WITH CANADA ?? TODAY AND TOMORROW ❤

I have family and friends in USA. Plus I belive there big drug problems in Canada and the border. Think Trump was asking him clean up. Yes good help other countries but. Canada ...we taken in sooo meny. With housing soo high because storage. And jobs.

It is not the people of the United States who are doing this outrageous betrayal to our good friends in Canada. It is the evil people in control of our nation.

Proud New Yorker, fully standing with Canada! ??❤

I was born and raised in the U.S., the grandson of Canadian immigrants. I stand with Canada and wholeheartedly support them. Trump is a Russian asset working with Putin to sabotage western economies. He needs to be stopped, along with all his Nazi cronies.

?‍♂️ Canada wasn’t buying our shit anyways. They put Canadian business first, which is good. \n\nNow we’re gonna give that a try.

Annex Canada! Not really a country!

True Americans stand with you Canada ??.

Trump wants to break Canada weakening them to make them the 51st state. Canada there are other markets to trade with. Companies are going to move from the US and with them so will your trade route.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

Canada is a richer country than america much nicer happier place

This is Trump's version of The Wizard of Oz. Fentanyl was NEVER the issue. Why would an administration BENT on ruining federal workers' livelihood, cutting off food to the global poor via cruel reductions in USAid, gutting Medicaid show ANY concern for drug-related deaths?\n\nAstute author Naomi Klein (from Canada) coined the terminology of The Shock Doctrine. THAT is what's being done, but this time, instead of it being aimed at Middle East nations, it is hitting the U.S and its neighbors.\n\nShame on the fools pretending to be leaders, fools that our supreme court should have prevented from EVER holding office. SHAME!

Go Canada!!!!!
