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.

You better dress America as President Trump, Trudeau, or else

Well, Trudeau, President Trump knows what he is doing, whether you like it or not.

How dare you disrespect our President it’s President Trump to you sir!!! and he needs to address you with the same respect

Trump is not my president!!! ?????I live in Utah. We are with Canada, Europe and Mexico. Putin is enemy for all of us. He is manipulating with idiot Trump.

All this is cause by a puppet who is a convicted felon criminal we call our president....Could it get worse?absolutely impeach D*ck Stain Donald Trump and arrest and deport Elon Musk for being a POS billionaire and human being...MAGA SHIT ? God help us all from this madness

PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEASE COME LIBERATE US. THIS GUY WONT GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody stops Trump! This is not a president. He's completely nut. Change presidents!

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. ??

Yeah, I'm in full agreement with you, PM Trudeau. I don't know what President Trump is thinking.

Right so after years of inflation, a pandemic, ongoing wars etc. Trump decided he had to make everything worse by starting a trade war and aligning himself with a murderous dictator...what a great choice for president the world totally needed right now ?

I'm a Native American fm Arizona. Been ur neighbor for years!! Inspite of what Trump is doing nothing will change that!! This man call Trump is definitely not a smart man!! Otherwise, it would have been business as usual. He is rushing his agenda only to cause conflicts, gain attention and he doesn't have a whole lot of time (3 yrs 8 months)!! I'm sure the next president after he's gone will fix all the damages his caused and done!!???

Fellow Canadians, stand behind him. Stay strong.\n\nWe need President Trump to take over. Make Canada America Again.\n\n82% of Canadians support President Trump\n\n61% of Canadians want to be part of a great pure America

Way to go TRUDEAU. Don’t bow down to trump he’s a dumb ass and he thinks that the world owes him something. Trump is a criminal; very corrupt person who doesn’t have a life and doesn’t care about anyone. He’s just going around with his selfish and greedy self trying to take advantage of everyone with his corrupt ways . Trump should be a janitor, not a president ?

I am extremely saddened and embarrassed by our president's actions. Seeing what Donald Trump has done in the past and is doing now, I pray for him and other world leaders every day. Their political choices matter. I did not vote for Trump, his first nor second term. He did so much harm during his last presidency that fueled so much division. And yes, Vladimir Putin is absolutely playing him, and he can not see that. I'll keep on praying, and leave it in God's hands. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico.

You have more to worry about Russia/China threatening US/Canada in the waters around Alaska. We need to work with Canada on national security. This is crazy. President Trump, what are you hiding? Why are you doing this? You owe this to Americans and Canadians and Mexico.

What an intelligent president ??\nBut guess what?? American people will just roll over and accept whatever Vladimir Trump do to them \nWe sitting on our couch laughing ? \nThey voted for him it’s not even been 3 months \nI am hoping and praying it hits American people exactly where it’s gona hurt \n“ their pockets” \nMake \nAmerica \nStupid \nAgain \nCanada please trade more with European Union and Britain \n??????

As a Washington State resident, I have always and continue to love and respect our Canadian neighbors. This US fake president is a liar and shameful embarrassment to Americans. Mr. Trudeau is pulling his country together as trump is tearing our country apart.

Man dont call trump my president its insulting...To all our allies, most of us REAL americans dont like trump. Dont give in to him he wants you to cave first..DONT

I did not vote for Trump but I am a shame that Trump is president. Trump purposely destroying Biden’s “Build Back Better” he aligned with Putin. Trump staff Is part of Project 2025. These are the people who wanted a tax break, on the backs of the American people. Prime Minister Trudeau is not our enemy and I accept what he is forced for the Canadian people. We need to vote wisely to end Trump’s dictatorship and there will be 3 seats up in Congress in April.

What an intelligent and articulate speech compare to Trumps endless mumbling and articulation of a demented grandpa with strange worldview. I am so sorry for Americans. I think this is the worse American president in history and he will definitely make history as in as the most incompetent American leader in its history. I can’t help but wonder who the hell was voting for this idiot?

President Trump is the best that happened to people in the world. He is a peacemaker and he tries to stop the bloody clown from ukraine.God bless him,God bless America!

I am totally with CANADA ... greetings from UK ?shame on president Trump

Canada-May I come live with you?Biden was a bad president but Trump has become worse.

Governor Trudeau is talking tough in the final days of his failed regime. Let's not forget governor that you pee'd your pants in front the Canadian people on the world stage in the face of President Trump and then followed up resigning!

???​​Republicans in the Senate & House are now working for Putin, because Trump is Putin's #1 flunky, and Vance is #2. ???Now America and the world will see what Convicted Criminal Trump really is - a CONVICTED FELON CRIMINAL, 34 TIMES, and never should have been allowed to run for President.???

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

Trudeau is a sensible President. As an American, I support Trudeau - NOT dumb Trump

In a best case scenario, DJT will rescind the tariffs on Canadian goods. In the worst case, we get even poorer. If this happened after Trump became president the first time, the economy was strong from 4 years of Obama's presidency. Then COVID happened, and for alot of folks here, they haven't recovered financially. Savings and retirement plans are gone. Rent is higher, for many it takes over 50% of their income. So in this emergency time, there's nothing to fall back on. Oh and DOGE will cut SNAP benefits, I'm sure. That's food stamps, meant for the people struggling. It's becoming more and more of Americans. \nAm I depressed? No, I lived through Reagan's presidency. I'm cautious about life, my job, commuting to work, putting food on the table. I'm gonna try growing veggies. I already eat 75% of my meals at home or taken from home-cooked meals. I'm saving as best I can.

Truedeau as can only blister his finger on a hot stove. HE is absolutely NO threat to President Trump. He’s so limp. He’s hurt Canadians more than Trump. And no you cannot talk to Americans. We listen to our President. He can’t fix his own problems yet he wants to preach to Americans.

A real president, I'm jealous. I miss that under the felon and liar Trump.

A President addresses the world. My people listen attentively and take notes. Trump is a small man who doesn't speak English correctly as a native speaker.

Elon mask will f..yuk american and canadain economy \nDonald Trump is dangerous individual \nSo joe biden\nOnly presidnt was good for america was president obama

Sounds like a threat minister black face. That's President Donald Trump. The wall street journal, really? The wall street journal has lost a lot of credibility, like numerous media outlets. Like CNN.

TRUMP WANTS AMERICANS BEGGING IN THE STREETS. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THAT TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF PERIOD!\nHE IS AFTER ALL A LIAR, A CROOK, A CON ARTIST, BUT MOST OF ALL AN AMERICAN KILLER!!\nWE MUST ALL STAND FOR DEMOCRACY!!\nTRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE HARDWORKING TAX PAYING AMERICANS DON'T KILL OR WANT TO KILL OTHER AMERICANS PERIOD!! HE'S NEVER PAID TAXES!! \nI WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA WHERE THEIR PRESIDENT REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS COUNTRY AND CANADIANS.

Did you hear Mexico president speach? Incredibly strong and united with her people. Trump will regret this.

Hmmm. More threats. Canada has always been a bunch of crybabies, but now they're about to find out how powerful President Trump really is. ???

No right to speak against presiden Trump and try to American people got divide. America respect the president Trump. Liked or not. Is the president of ??

Most Americans stand with Canada ?? we apologize for our president who suffers from ‘LDS’ he’s just a said pathetic human do what you must. Do not be bullied by a little man like Trump smack him down.

Where were all of you not supporting tariffs and a lunatic President???? Did Hispanics vote?? Did minorities vote??\n\nAll you Trump fans, hope you enjoy this New 1 sided democracy and paying more for less.

America! This is the Clown (Donal Trump) you selected as the president of the United States! Buckle up for the worst four years of your life! What a damn shame, I use to think Americans were some of the smartest people in the world, but I was very wrong! Donal can't even speak clearly, he has the mind of a child!

This speech was so well thought out and articulated that it must have been a foreign language to d*mb Trump. President Musk will have to translate it for him ?

Thank you Mr. President . Donald Trump is for only the rich and for Putin.

It can't be under attack. Our famous President Trump is trying to make friends with Russia.

It was never about Phentanyl and or the border. It was always about Trump being jealous of Justin.\n\nRemember how Trump's daughter Ivanka and his wife Melania oogled and tried to inhale Justin during Trump's first presidency, and whenever they met after the presidency any type of meetings and forums.\n\nAlso, Justin is much younger than Trump; he is goodlooking, he is rich...not nouveau riche like Trump; he came from class, not like Trump who is 'jumped up'; and most of all he has hair, glorious hair.\nJump is jealous. That is why he's alway trying to belittle Justin.\n\nToo bad for Trump?

US voted an immature pathological liar to be the president. Trump simply slapped tariffs on Trudeau out of personal jealousy.

This is how a Statesman addresses his nation and the world.\nThe eloquent and thought gone into this speech.\nCanada, you are deep in our thoughts here in the UK.\nYou are our nearest cousins and will always be.\nThe world is a dangerous place at the moment, thanks to Donald Trump and his vice-president.\nBut they have no idea or understanding of 20th century world history.\nMr Trump, take a look at Germany 1930s...
