I used to be a huge fan of America. I truly believed it was the world’s policeman, the guiding force for justice and freedom. I looked up to the country, admiring its strength, its values, and the way it stood for what was right. I even wished my own country could be more like that. \n\nBut America is no longer what it once was. It’s heartbreaking to see how a once-free and hopeful nation has transformed into something so divided, hostile, and unpredictable. A country that once stood by its friends now turns its back on them. A nation that once fought for unity now thrives on division and conflict. \n\nThere are still many good people in America, and the country is not beyond hope. But deep down, every American must realize—this is not the right path. This is not who you are meant to be. \n\nWake up before it’s too late.

Canada Is America's Closest Traders

Respect to Canada from Switzerland. Trump will go down as the president who destroyed America.

U don’t want smoke with America ?? come on now bud

All chickens are coming to roost!!!! America was always like this. Now when it hurts the EU and „allies „ it hurts ?????????. Welcome to reality

Trump Will Make America Broke With His Stupid Traiffs For Normal Business In America

America can't be trusted anymore. Siding with Putin and soon Iran. Traitors.

Can I please cone to Canada as an American refugee. I swear I wont ask a thing from anyone all I want is to escape this madness in America

Being the enemy to America is dangerous but being a friend is fatal

Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Trumpty Dumpty will take a great fall. Vance and Elon both deranged. Both to break America again.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

It’s a sad day today in North America.

U.S citizen here. Trudeau is correct. Our government is making us pay more for products, and it isn't helping anyone in America. It is another tax on those of us who do real work.

Evil trump started War. Other countries only protect themselves. America lost lots of money for immigrants, war in Israel, and Ukraine. Now they wanna back. That's why prices going up. Till they get all back.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

America or Americans are backing the Canadian prime minister…..in Gods name when will America know that Mr Trump haven’t had his filter coffee ?❤

tRUMP - The Orange Idiot is going to destroy America but as it is sinking MAGA Cultists will scream how their glorious leader is working for them when in actual fact he is ONLY interested in lining the pockets of his billionaire friends. Go for it Canada?

Please, Mr. Trudeau, please say that Donald Trump is the culprit, not America in its entirety. We are protesting the takeover of our country and will not cease trying to get rid of this administration that has hijacked our country. We too want to work with you and will support your actions as best we can. Your strong speech shows which country has a leader to follow. Thank you.

Russia should take it's old soviet satellite countries. China can have Taiwan. America unites the contenent. Canada and Mexico become the new US territories. This is the new world order to come. You can't fight the future. Resistance is futile.

Watching from Sweden...Trumps tariffs can not be what the american people wants. It will hurt regular families in america and other countries. The top % will remain unhurt as usual. Realize that you are as a people being taken for a ride by the richest and most evil.

I'm from Canada and this Trade War will not impact my positive view of the American People and America itself.

Bye bye America - ŷou are going to ruin your marketplace share and the world will turn its back on you, nobody will willingly cooperate with you and American goos will be priced out of the market, work will stop in America soon enough because others will seek other economic partnerships …. Stupid … trump will ruin you …. He’s a nut job … I see civil war in the states before long in whatever form that takes … the ones that will suffer will be the American people because it’s you who will be paying these tariffs if you want foreign goods. If nobody buys from you your inflation will soar. You have put your trust in a criminal who uses other people’s money to buy his way out of jail.

This is how a LEADER speaks. No insults, no lies, no threats or name-calling. He is defending his country. Like America should be doing. Well done Mr. Prime Minister.

Was reading these Comments wondering how everyone was siding with countries that don’t put America first. Then I seen I was watching a video by fakeNN. Makes sense.

Make America Great Again!!!!

Proud Canadian and very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau...America as a country your doomed for a DEAD END with your current leadership.

❤ Thank you Mr. Trudeau, Canada has always been America’s greatest ally. No nonsense speech. ?

Europe supports dialog based on facts. Please Make America Sane Again. I

America stands with Canada. U fortunately,the next 4 years will be rough,for us all!

Krasnov Trump says repeatedly its America First, but his actions have clearly shown from his actions its Russia First

We don’t want this! Wake up America! I voted for her. These are sad times in America. Shameful. Thank you CNN.

Canada has politely let terrorists into the United States , Canada has politely been unfair to America in trade. Canada has politly accepted Billions in free money. Goodbye Canada. In closing perhaps Canada should become ''Unwoke'' and give your people ''Free Speech''

Our president Mr. Trudeau says “We” and gives credit to his people unlike Donald Trump who is always using “I” implying that he alone caused good things to happen to America.

As an American, I always thought Justin was a respectable guy. At this point with republicans being pussies, I’d rather Canada just buy America.

Genius Trump, who wrote Art of Deal. He want split Rusia from China and get rare earth. Insted he is spliting Europe and Canada from Usa. And rare earth will go to Europe or China. And prove worldwide America can be trusted ?

Trump is an abuser. And like an abuser, he's isolating America from her friends and allies.

America goes into a trade war with their most reliable ally before the new GTA game, damn man!

Canada seems like the new United States of America

Another liar....he can get s job with CNN...Canada needs America more than America needs Canada....Why do we protect,defend them.Bring all jobs to the US!!!Go Trump!!!!!

Canada needs America.

If Canada was the 51st state economically it would be last after Mississippi. The only reason Canadians aren't eating out of garbage is because America buys its crap like a charity case. America has all it needs.

America has gone rogue Donald Trump, and JD Vance are Traitors to democracy to their own people the free world it's sickening that the American public could be juped like this for your own good we in the West must stand our ground to this.

OH CANADA! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of YOU and your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Do NOT let Donald Trump ruin your way of life. It has been pristine for way too long. Hang in there, stay strong, we Americans are behind you. I am so ashamed of the people that put Agent Orange and his hillbilly in charge. We will fight, make no mistake, we will fight for the real America and for you too. I was born in Deep River, Ontario in 1954. My original family originates in Miramichi (formally New Castle), New Brunswick. I still own 45 hectares in Miramichi. I was brought here by my parents. They would be so ashamed. I think it is time I came back home. ♥️☘️

America will not be bullied by Canada you will soon be the 51st state shut up

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Canada is a pimple on Americas backside and Trump has the acne cream

Does Trump think this will push Canadians to joining America as a new state.

Stop taking from America, Canada

What a beautiful speech, I’m American and I’ll always stand with America.
