Trump has turned our friendship with Canada into a stupid, embarrassing fiasco. What is the benefit for the people? That's right, none. I am proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. That's correct, I hang my head in shame because I am from the USA.

Congratulation primer ministró don't be afraid Canada don't need nothing from USA.

Please remember this Canada. It’s our politicians who have mismanaged our country for decades and brought us to the state we are in now. Ignoring climate change and creating National Debt that can never be paid. Most of us here in the USA love our friends to the north of us.

? I would rather live in Canada than the USA any day. This is a true leader and a good one .

Brazil is together with Canada! USA imperialism has to stop! ᴄᴀʙʀ ❤???

Usa here. Much love for Canada and mexico here.

How about looking at the amount of illegal firearms coming into Canada from the USA? Bet it's higher than the less than 1% fentanyl we're so quick to point to as the reason for this trade war.

For Many Years Illegal immigrants Fly to canada and Then They cross Illegally into the USA And Trudau Didn't stop it

Wtf !!! Mexico will smash Canada yet alone usa will turn Canada to rubble.

Trudeau, not only are you on your way out of the government of canada, where you have abused it's citizens, you are not recognizing the 41 billion dollar trade deficit you have with the usa.

Canada and Mexico needs to collaborate and squeeze the USA. Sick of Trump already smdh

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Fentanyl, immigration, and tariffs are just an excuse for Trump. He wants to take over Canada, Panama, and the Greenland for the economic benefits they bring to the USA, nothing more.

?? tariffs are already being hit on us from Canada, what is he crying about ahahahaha. This is too funny. USA USA USA! ?? wooooooooooaaaaa! Ahaha

Trump is a businessman, he is treating America and the world as his empire. This is the downfall of USA. God bless Canada andthe rest of the world who would be affected. Am a Filipino and am with Canada in this.

from Germany: \nSince the war in Ukraine, Germany has been buying 13 times more gas from the USA (from 1% currently to 13%). It's time to show solidarity with Canada and get our gas from there. To all Canadians: be grateful for such a sincere and intelligent prime minister. Thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for your clear words!

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Why is Trudeau upset for Trump tax Canada in the same percentage that Canada taxes USA products? Why out of the blue communist Trudeau become so concerned about the drugs goes freely through Canada boarders into the USA? Is Trudeau calling Putin communist while himself is a communist globalist puppet trying to hide that the mediocre Zelenskyy is a dictator himself? How hypocrite Trudeau is.

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

2.7 % of USA gdp is from trading with Canada and Mexico. Over 70% of Canada gdp and Mexico gdp is from trading with USA. Who’s really going to hurt?

USA will be proper fcuked in 2 weeks without Canada!!!!

From a Canadian citizen.\n\nExcellent speech, nice presentation with sugar coating, but the taste?\nHowever Trudeau is not telling the Truth about the Fentanyl of less than one ounce coming through the border?\nHow about Oil, Lumber and other minerals trades?\nThe USA has ten times more than what Canada have.\nWhat about border protection? Canada invested in two helicopters and many drones with thousands of land miles and the same on water to protect?\nThe cartels are much smarter than Trudeau borders policing, because they've already installed thousands of infiltrators throughout Canada to deliver any drug amount to the USA.\nAnd calling the president by his first name?\nTrudeau is taking Canada to another level, lower than we've seen or felt, because he's not a politician and not a businessman.\nFor last.\nThe notion that our lower level of politics still uses the word FIGHT instead of making a DEAL.\n\nAnd their old ways of saying, WE ARE WORKING HARD.\nINSTEAD OF WORKING SMART.\n\nMy opinions.

As an Australian I stand with Canada as a British Commonwealth nation and a respected ally. Trump wants to mark his leadership as the “Greatest US president” by annexing Canada and Mexico. This is USA risking WWIII to enrich Trump and his sycophants with oil, minerals and weapons sale.

I will buy now from Canada products never from the USA anymore. Goodbye USA

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Vice President Harris would NEVER have ever betrayed our country, the USA, or our dear neighbor and friends, Canada.

Canada will be USA territory, not even a state . It’s over with Canadian support for Nazism.

USA should up Canada tariff to 50%. Screw them. No one in the world gives a sh1t about Canada. All your famous rich ppl came to the USA to get famous and rich. What have they EVER done???? ??? Our GDP to Canada is 17%. Theirs to us is only 2%. Don't need them.

No chest thumping! Just facts ! I love Canada ??, I live in the USA but I’m embarrassed by our leader .

Everyone I speak to in the UK stands with Canada. We must do what’s right and stand up to the bully boy tactics from USA and Russia. Sad for Americans who didn’t vote for this seeing their country go this way.

I wish I was born in Canada instead of the USA

Trump is like Putin, a criminal convicted felon president, and a bully.\nI just regret that Canada did not also either tax all energy exports to the US, or simply cut all our energy exports to the US people who still elected a criminal at the White House.\nLet also buy all our armament elsewhere than in the USA. They don’t deserve our business and we should not trust them. ??

*The USA has a trade deficit with Canada, they want to rebalance that, what’s to complain about?*

Goodbye USA from Canada and Europe, Hello Putin's mate, you and and your VP are a disgrace.

I do not blame Canada for standing up for their country and to trump and putin god bless us people in the USA they have never drank the koolaid and despise trump and his dictatorship and his worshippers

American in Poland. I stand with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. That clown is going to isolate the USA and start WW III

what all of a sudden Trudeau is on your side -- you stupid Canadians wake the fuck up, All Canada has to do is lower its tariffs to the USA and bam its reciprocal. Trudeau is playing the redical left card sounding off all the talking points of the left media for the past 4 years or more. Hes still the same fucking liar as he always been -- none of those things are true but if you believe them then judgment is coming for you and you will not Escape.

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????

Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

Better USA becomes a state of Canada

I thought Canada and the USA got along with each other. Jeeze

As a Canadian i prefer to join USA as Trudeau made our Canada a third world country, our politicians are so stupid and ignorant that they invite SS Nazi veterans in our parliament as heroes spitting on the memory of thousands of Canadians who died to free Europe . Ontario has 4 cities now who declared a hunger emergency, people is so poor they have no food to feed their families

tRump is a liar, greedy, and corrupt idiot. I am considering moving to Canada from South Dakota. I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the USA. I feel like tRUMP and is wife are Russian assets. I have deep respect for Trudeau and his Dad.

Tech help for blah blah speech? Simply quit denying the mess you ve caused Canada & the USA and simply do what TRUMP. Asked

Germany Supports canada, we will stop buying USA products! Whole Europe is going to Support you!

It’s time Canada calls in the 400 billion marker it owns on USA debt. Maybe save it for later, maybe coordinate with China to call in their own 1 trillion marker. Now that will hurt- and I don’t think/ hope it’ll get there. But, if it comes to it…….?

Trudeau has got balls . I hope our Prime Minister Starmer , supports Canada . Trump is a total liar and is a danger to USA and the world .
