This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.

Canada, millions of us in the USA are with you!❤ Trump and his government are a disgrace.

We in UK are with Canada! We also love the US!! Please sort it out soon guys! The world is watching and so is President Putin!

It's almost as if Trudeau doesn't even know who Donald Trump is! Speaking to him directly and addressing him as Donald instead of President Trump is a blatant show of disrespect. \n\nGuess what Canada. We don't need you for ANYTHING! I already boycott Canadian Club. Not for political reasons, but I don't like drinking bever piss. And I'll start buying my maple syrup from Vermont. So, you keep your shit, we'll keep our shit, and good luck to you.

Before Trudeau starts acting the fool he should get himself a globe or a good map, and he will notice that the ONLY thing that is separating Canada from Russia is Alaskan !!! He needs to pray for wisdom from our Loving God !!!

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Canada and America should work together. Trudeau is the only one talking about a trade war. Think about that... Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries who later came to the Whitehouse and invested billions to bring business here. Canada has enjoyed the American gravy train for long enough. Just look at the comparison between how much money goes into Canada and how much of that America actually sees a return on.

100% truth by Canada and Trudeau! Trudeau translation—Smart Guy = Smart Con Artist.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

Great speech from the president from Canada. This is the kind of president the USA should have. I stand with Canada. TRUMP has ruined our country.

All Americans 99% support Europeans allies ,only one person in White House “to make decisions dumb” I am with you Canada ❤❤❤ T and JD destroyed Democracy

Europe supports Canada !

Go ahead Canada Americans gotta learn that voting has consequences I live in Maryland this is a shame is being Shame to our country

Hey Canada I’m a highly skilled laborer and I want out of the US. Can I please move up there?

This is so crazy am Flabbergasting i stand with Canada ??

The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

No one in Canada wants this man in Canadas office \n\nI back Donald 1000000%

As an American, I apologize for all this, God Bless Canada!

Other leaders watching need to know you can't fake influence. Canada is standing on business.

Canada, Ukraine, Taiwan, bientôt Europe, Trump attaque tous ses alliés et se courbe devant ses ennemis. \nÇa va vraiment mal et c'est incompréhensible.

America will remain unaffected by the recent tariff changes by the Governor of the Great State of Canada.

How the American people vote and elect a Guy like Trump ?? Unbelievable..\nWell done Canada !!

Canada, you rock! The UK stands with you, as do all of europe.

Can I immigrate to Canada for asylum purposes from the U.S

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

It's going to hurt, blame The vulgar psychopath felon in the white house.. I don't blame Canada, I support them

So are we pretending that Canada hasn't already had enormous tariffs on American goods?

Good for Canada.

You guys understand, I hope, that our president is a predator who is like putin tries to land grab Canada? He doesn’t give a s… about the economy, or illegal drugs or whatever. He is a criminal who is after its potential victim- Canada. ??

I am from Denmark and stand with you Canada, i will boycott products from the United States and i will instead buy products from Canada and other countries, but certainly not from the United States. Canada, i wish you good luck with your fight against Donald Trumps and the MAGA insanity. Please Canada, spread some list of good Canadian goods on the internet so we exactly know what to buy to support you.

i dont get what he gains by fucking with Canada\nPutin 100% has something crazy on trump why would he act like this otherwise.

Utterly embarrassed to be an American. I hope Canada shuts down EVERYTHING coming and going to and from Canada. It will hurt me and my fellow citizens, but there is simply nothing left that can make the point like it needs to be made.

Canada can help in the fight against illegal fentanyl by getting help from Chinese troops to protect the borders

FYI Canada will fold like Bidens lawn chair. Trump never loses!

Go Canada. ❤?? ?

I hate saying I am a American BUT I am so very proud of Trudeau and I think once Canada turns off it's power to America and turns off the gas line Canada can have frump by the balls which needs to be done and ASAP .. GOD BLESS CANADA

Wait until magas get drafted; Canada will have even tighter security.

Well done Canada ??? A great speech given by Trudeau, a true leader. Europe will trade with ye ??

I wish I lived in Canada, the U.S. is so embarrassing.

Can you please change this clown ?? Get a real men in canada for president! Then trump may respect them

Trump destroyed decades of friendship and cooperation with Canada and Europe. We won't trust US anymore.

What Trump wants is Putin. He is only making excuses to take Canada and Mexico out and he only wants Putin.

The reason trump isn’t interested in the minerals in Canada is because he wants to give Ukrainian mineral to Russia

Yea Canada! Stand on business!

Army Veteran here, I stand with Canada! I stand with Ukraine!!

L can only applaud canadas president standing up to trump & his bullying and trying to intimidate other countries and be little them .. ???

With Trudeau on his way out, involved with no more negotiations, he can say it like it is. Love it! Love Doug Ford too. Canadas premier! Wish more would do the same.

Canada has our sympathies. We must collaborate to prevent the worsening of this situation. Love and courage from Mexico.

A Scot here. Canada is our great friend. I am sure that all reasonable people around the free world support Canada in this insane trade war. Trump is Putin and Putin is trump.

Yes Canada!
