If you are not all talk and keyboard virtue...Ukraine has opened its military to any American citizen that wants to stand up to Russia. Go fight for your beliefs, and send your own children and brothers and sisters too they are more than welcome, over 18 only.

Is it possible that this is all about access to critical minerals - which Canada and Ukraine hav in abundance. America has form in creating a pretence to go to war to protect access to cheap oil. But in the past these wars were against arab nations and so the West found it easy to 'other' and accept the need for war. Now America under Trump is hoping to secure critical minerals (modern day oil) - but because they are allies he cant start an outright war. So hes doing it through trade. This is old form for America. When looked through this lense is not so difficult to understand. The big question is will the west allow him to bully western allies - democracies to be bullied into submission?

This is what a leader of the free world sounds like: Level-headed, expressive, factual, referencing trade agreements, how we have met your demands and good sentiments about working together to solve problems. This is NOT how you lower prices for Americans! This as about a narcissist wanting to be an Oligarch, and a grapist, wanting to grape Canada, like his boyfriend Putin is doing in Ukraine.

I’m an American who stands with Canada and Ukraine

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 )

From UK and am so impressed by the conviction of your government standing up for your country and against this abismal behaviour. Sympathy to the Americans who could see Trump for the villain that he is and are having to endure this. You deserve better. We all do. Standing with you, Canada, Ukraine, Europe and UK.

UKRAINE SINCERELY THANKS EVERYONE WHO HELPS IT FOR THEIR SUPPORT. IT IS VERY VALUABLE TO US.\nWE CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OUR FUTURE. FOR THE FUTURE OF THE FREE WORLD

All those secret phone calls Trump has had with Putin. What the heck have they been talking about? I think they’ve come up with a plan to divide the world between three empires - an American empire, a Russian empire, and a Chinese empire. Trump gave it away when he accused Zelenskyy of potentially starting WW3 if he doesn’t give Russia what it wants. \n\nWe’ve already had several threats from Putin that he’d use nuclear weapons to protect Russia if other countries ally with Ukraine and send their own military to assist Ukrainians. Trump once again proves he’s a Russian asset as he parrots Putin’s threats. \n\nAlso, prepare yourself for the China-Taiwan war. Putin and Trump will stand down their navies.

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.

USA is not a trustworthy partner anymore. USA prefers Russia ans Israel, spits on Ukraine, Mexico and on my canadian face, EU to come. Calling our Prime Minister a Governor is such a disrespectful behavior. US citizens voted for this, Bravo gang de caves

American here. I stand with and support Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. DOWN WITH TRUMP! DOWN WITH MAGA!

Born in Mexico, raised in the United States. Been here for 50 years. I stand with Ukraine, Canada and Mexico.\nMAGA = Moscow Agent Governing America

I’m from Ukraine and we stand with Canada! ????

THIS is how you address Trump and his administration, not only addressing the trade war but directly saying that Trump has sided with Putin and Russia. \nDiplomacy went out the window when Trump and Vance attacked Zelensky in the people’s house. Diplomacy went out the window when Trump blamed Zelensky for the war in Ukraine and called him a “dictator”

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. ?

I find it funny you have canada and president of Ukraine threatening us now ?

Texan, I Stand with UKRAINE,CANADA AND MEXICO. A MAD,MAD MAN is at the WHEEL and I can do is hold on and HOPE and PRAY WE SURVIVE ?????

I’m so embarrassed about what is being done in my name as an American right now . I am sorry Ukraine. I am sorry Canada

Dear Canada and Mexico,Ukraine,China, and everybody else he shits on-\nDonnie Dump does not speak for most Americans, We love and respect people-

Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico are our allies, and Trump is a traitor.

Hundreds of millions of us are against this. We wish for a president like him, we tried so hard to make the other half understand they're being lied to. We are on your side, Canada, were on Ukraine's side, and we are embarrassed, repulsed, and pretty terrified.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and the Ukraine. Donald is a wanna-be dictator and needs to be impeached immediately.

I’m an American standing with Ukraine and Standing with canada

Canada ?? , stay strong! \nWith love, Ukraine ?? ❤

BLA BLA BLA CNN.....stop the treason....It is a death neatly offense. stand up for your country CNN. VIVA Canada...ViVA Ukraine !!!! CNN is worthless.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Canada, Europe, Japan, Norway, Ukraine, New Zealand, S-Korea, UK, Australia, etc. - the New West

Please remember Trump did NOT win the popular vote. The majority of us do not stand with Trump. God help us all. We stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. We do not stand with Russia, China, or N Korea.

If we read how trump speak about governor Trudeau it's cleat Trump wants to make canada and Mexico the Ukraine of the north America! Maybe it's time to hit back at trump/VANCE AND CUT THE ELECTRICITY AND OIL OF ALBERTA RIGHT NOW ! AND KICK THOSE 2 CLOWNS OUT OF THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE CAUSE AMERICANS WILL SUFFER JUST LIKE US WITH THOSE STUPID TARRIFS

As an American, I will stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. Our true allies and friends. Trump is, unfortunately, a Russia useful idiot.

canada is the next Ukraine

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.

This is phantastic. This is a harsh and direct response! I would have wished that the German (almost Ex-) chancellor Scholz would have reacted the same way after Putins attack on Ukraine in 2022. Dangerous moves need immediate and harsh responses ! Trudeau is a very good president!

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

Donald is not a smart guy. Do not flatter him. He is a russian asset and Putin will lose the war if Donald does not fuck up Amerika and Ukraine fast. You guys try to reason with a russian asset and megalomaniac that wants to have a third term. Wake up and understand. This is a new world where diplomacy with US and Russia does not work. It stalls.

Why you have to bring Putin to the equation? Focus on the Tariffs only.. forget about Ukraine and Russia conflict

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......??????

We don't need spending money for Ukraine Trudeau spending money without limits when Canada have big problems economy inflation double homeless and emigration problems we must be realistic what is good also for AS County \nCANADA FIRST ?? ? ?? ? ?? \nCANADA ALWAYS ?? ? ?? ? ??

As an American, we don’t want this either. I don’t understand what and why to be honest. All I know was in November 2024 I woke up to the worst feeling I have ever had. First time woke up ashamed and shame and fear to live in the United States. I never in my 60 years thought that hatred hiding behind Christianity would prevail. As an American at the last years of my life I want to say to Canada, Mexico , Puerto Rico, Ukraine and all our European allies, I am sorry we let you down.

Im a Ukrainian born and an American citizen. I support freedom, and it breaks my heart to see Americas government side with Putin and abandon a freedom loving Ukraine. Thank you to everyone who supports Ukraine and opposes evil. God bless us all and help us.

Bravo Canada ?? Mexico ?? and Ukraine ?? for standing strong against wanna be dictators.

Trump is a disaster for the U.S., for Canada, Ukraine and almost everyone else...except maybe Russia, China and Belarus. \nI, as an American, will buy anything I can that is made in Canada.\n\nMy fellow Americans: take not of how an intelligent, well informed, honest leader sounds like on the world stage. Compare this to how Trump sounds. Let's wake up.

Australian here,standing always alongside our Canadian friends.Canada, please stay/stand strong along with Mexico, Ukraine,UK, and France\n??????????❤️

Trump is delusional. As a veteran I stand with Canada & Ukraine

One by one more ...Global leaders are on the rise! Ukraine, Canada.. \nDumb Donald is egoistic and Republicans are supporting him... Downward spiral for America...

Thanks for understanding that ever so many Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine and are horrified by Trump and his Republican puppets

God bless Canada and Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!!!
