I am from Europe. Lithuania. I will say the opinion that is dominant in my country: Ex President Joe Biden was not the sharpest knife in the drawer because he is of a respectable age, but he was a smart politician, he respected his neighbors and the all of Europe respected him. Trump destroyed everything in one month, he acts like Putin by attacking his neighbors. We are stand with Ukraine and Canada. I hope one day to visit Canada for incredible natural beauty. ( if we Lithuanians don't have to go to war with Ruzzia )

bozo biden times are over! go Trump!

This is so unreal ? This is truly the path to destruction and Trump and First Gentleman Elon are leading the way. The red states are going to suffer the most.

Go Canada! This is what a real leader looks like. Not watching Trumps address later. Why bother?

All of these comments from Americans, saying you stand with Canada. Trump is just doing the same thing Canada has done to us. You people need to research the tariffs Canada has implemented in the past. Trump isn't going to let Canada and Ukraine use America anymore.

Trump is not being played Trump is doing exactly what Trump wants to do because he wants to be an authoritarian country plain and simple so sorry America that you are going to change in a way that you will never escape

Way to go Canada! No one with an ounce of brains can make sense of Trump!

Trump will wreck the US economy. Just picture the auto industry, where parts go back and forth through the border. Same with airplane parts (Pratt & Whitney engines, which powers vast majority of US-made planes, are produced in Canada)

There is only one way to end this madness. Trump has got to go. Hopefully the American congress will wake up and do their job.

He’s going to pull the energy plug on the Midwest. Ugh and Trump won’t care if we’re in the dark, no heat and all your valuable food is going to spoil. Trump is degrading the country to turn it into a dictatorship. Starve us, bankrupt us to make it easier to control us.

Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

“Blistering” in the feyest manner ever. It’s USA first buddy, we’ve been footing the bill for your country in so many ways for decades. Also, why did it take Trump telling you to go after the fentanyl makers in your country to prevent it coming across our border?

I wish the people who need to hear this would listen.\n\nIn the meantime, Trump is going to try and chop down our national forests to make up for the lumber shortage.

trump is going to run america into the ground just like his casinos

trump is going to run america into the ground just like his casinos

He didn’t mention Netanyahu Genocidal maniac that trump is also worshipping ?again double standards never go even now??

Donald Trump is so Dumb, that he thinks the dollar which he can print, is more valuabe than the energy which come from Canadá. The Europe is suffering without the gás from Rússia, and the Rússians keep going foward. My support to the cannadians from Brazil.\n ?????

Trump and his cohorts must go! Americans are not in a line with them!

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

STOP TALKING FCING GIRL TRUDEAU ONLY LISTEN THE GOOD MAN TRUMP .OR WE GO 150%

As I have said many times, Trump has opened a big ass can of of worms, you wont stop Armorican drug addicts, there's legal drug labs in the U.S. and the U.S. make fentanyl in the U.S., his on a economic suicide missions, sense his first rodeo, most drugs dont go over a fence, most drugs caught, go through the Legal Ports of entry and most smuggler cought at the legal port of entry are Americans and people who can cross the border legally, not illegally, not illegal aliens nor asylum

I’m going grocery shopping right now. Won’t be buying American. Not a damn thing.\nUntil Americans impeach and remove Donald why should I ? The Trump / Republican cabal is a sick twisted perversion of what most Americans and all Canadians believe in. Most right-thinking Americans abhor the term “Ugly American”. I do too. This isn’t American exceptionalism, it’s blatant greed and selfishness. One look at Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and many other Republicans tells the whole story. Look in their eyes, there is a vacant distorted view. Remove them America or suffer the consequences.

Trump owes Putin for something..and the country is not going to be held to his debt to Putin. Is someone in Trump's family being held by Putin? Is everyone accounted for in Trump's family...have we seen , Baron lately???? Putin must have something....

This is going to anger Trump..... He's gonna spank em real real good!

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 think one scenario we need to consider, is that trump is going to whine about no one wanting to do business with him as everyone will retaliate after tariffs (trade war indeed), and that he'll then turn to russia for trading. It sounds insane, but this is trump, making the insane possible.

I was a trump supporter from the uk and thought he would be a good thing because of all the corruption and not caring about its people that was going on from biden . just like whats happening in the uk not giving a dam about its people from labour But i think trump has done some idiot things backing Russia like there hes best mate doing this to Canada. It seems all trump cares about is money money money and and stabbing hes allies in the back.

If Trump ever finds out how many bets and pools we have going betting on when Trump will die,\nhed probably lose his tiny mind.\nHeart attack or stroke,somethings \nGonna happen he is a million years old,morbidly obese ,never exercises and lives on junk food. Its just a matter of time .\nmay as well make some money off him and have a laugh doin it !\nMake your own \ndonnies dirt nap pool \nat work or online with friends!

Trump must go! He does not have the interest of the majority of the American people! He won the popular vote, but if this was replayed he would not have won this past election

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

Dump Trump! Trump is a short sighted businessman whose companies went through multiple bankruptcies. He is not a politician and is unfit to hold his office. Putin is going to take advantage of him.

Says the guy that told Trump when asked about the number one way the United States could hurt Canada would be through tariffs. PS - Oh no, $155B. What is that, like 4% of US imports? We will be fine. Go rip off someone else and fund your own defense.

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.

Trump is correct! It will hurt in the begging but it will help USA in the long run! Go Trump, Go!!!

Its time for the world to move on without the USA ,Canada is one of the most democratic countries in the world ,They will get over it ,Move on and be strong ,Trump must have read the UK's shortest PM in historys book ,Yes Liz truss she crashed the UK economy in days ...Good job Donald you will have a warm welcome when you go home to Mother Russia

The only people on the planet that couldn't see (or care) that this type of disaster was going to happen after the election of Trump, were the MAGA MORONS!\n\nFinally on full display, the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, DONALD J TRUMP.\n\nCongratulations America ??

The US seems hell bent on destroying itself. So many people are going to lose their jobs as the US economy goes into freefall. If Trump imposes higher tariffs on Europe too, we'll respond in exactly the same way as Canada.

Trump is a big mistake for American. After 4 years in office, US will regret voting Donald Trump.\nThis is not the way to make US great. Imagine putting fights in all ur allies. That is a wrong fight. Change ur useless policies or US will go down in history from great nation to isolated nation. No nation can suceed alone. America is great today because of other nations. Time will tell

Pure human behavior. When you stop spoiling them, they turn against you. Go Donald Trump. I won't buy or support any Canadian products.

American here and I stand with Canada ?The world is going to hit back hard against our country because Trump arrogance

Trump is such an idiot, and so are his followers. They are going to pay for this, not the Canadian government. Despite Trump and his clowns say it's not. Another one of their lies.

Some people on here that should go live with Donald Trump and leave the rest of us to live in a country where we are kind, thankful and blessed with good neighbours .... One of the best countries in the world whose leaders are responsible law abiding adults. Not perfect country but one of the best in the world! ?

American are not friends anymore.... people in all around the world trump is going war so stand up for your country

The only reason Donny is siding with the russians is because putin and his people have something on Donny and Donny Trump doesn't want it to come out because its going to be truly embarassing for Donny, his family and the american people. Mark my words we'll all find out someday.\nReally. They probably have video tape of him

Good on ya chap. \nAt last!!! A country and leader who will tell Trump to go and do one.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

Go canada go get him grab trump by the heels and sink your teeth in to him and that awful vance .

Thats why there must not make any deal with Trump, anymore because he's a lier and stabs you in the back after he gets what he wanted, and hes also going to do that with zelenski as soon zelenski is signing a deal......he can't be trusted !!!!!!

Doing the right thing isn't always the most popular thing to do.\nLeftards and msm were always going to continue their anti-Trump rhetoric no matter what.
