What a contrast! Clear and quietly confident speech from handsome young Canadian Leader. And incoherent aggressive blabbing from the so-called president of the USA, grandpa with fake orange tan. Can Trump fully understand clearly what he is saying and doing lately? I wonder. What a mess! Putin is happy. ?

Trump pandering the the strategic directives of the Project 2025 playbook and its architects empowered by Oligarchs. Sadly it’s includes setting the world on fire to bulldoze and dismantle democracy! It is the only way they are able to live in a new USA that promotes their shocking policies of dictatorship. Brace yourselves globally! Imperialism is back courtesy of DJ Trump & his presidency. Resist you must! Remember who you are! Fight back! Mobilise your communities, it’s left to the people to take back the power! It requires strength in numbers. The world watches & supports & prays for you! ✊?✊?✊???????

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

I love Canada and Mexico hey are my neighbors North/South USA and China and I stand with Ukraine but this stupid Trump is screwing us up big time! we are getting weaker and WEAKER every day

That's right ! Dope comes from the dopes in usa to Canada. Not orher way around. Trump just wants to control it. Like past usa governments who brought in coke and smack to control ethnic minorities it did not work. Those ethnicities had friends in other cultures. Ie( Oliver north, Iran contra affair.

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

Trump wants to destroy USA, he is the real enemy from within ???

Trudeau sold out the Canadien people long ago with his personal greed, woke crap and using the environment as an excuse to tax the hell out of us. Now he has someone to blame (Trump). We need Pierre, a strong leader that will work with President Trump for a Strong North America. Canada + USA = Prosperity for all

Trump doesn't want us to be the USA, he wants this to be the new USSR. There's no strategy here, just pure evil! ?

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Trump is just doing Putin's bidding. Make America Great Again? Boy he sure had the USA fooled. I blame failings in the education system - too many school shootings and not enough reading.

This Trump and Vance duo is disgrace to the USA

Robert, if you are a usa veteran you must be proud of your President .\nThink again ...maybe you was in Irak and kill inocent people...TRUMP IS THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER ?❤️

Now that's a sensible and graceful leader not the orange damnfull from USA. total shame on you Trump, you are nor president, boooooooooo!!!

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

I have a good idea all you guys from different states come together with us usa citizens and take trump out of office cuz we need someone with brains ?

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Bravo...trump....??? canada got the right kick from USA...they supported zionist....they were blind....????????????????????

Canadians love Americans, there is family on both sides. Why is Trump being COUNTER PRODUCTIVE ?\nthis is negotiating ? what is the deal ? SPELL IT OUT \ndon't try and fool yourself or anyone with verbal crap > show me the numbers on paper, give references from reputable sources in USA. We like and need clarity. Details. Transparency.\npeople on both sides of the equation are intelligent and need the REAL DEAL > not bull.\nIt smells like Trump has not spelled it out. Is it a flip or a flop day ?

Please don't say that America did this, but say that Trump and the MAGA party did this. Millions of us can't stand the sight of him, not just now but for years and years. He is a disgrace to the USA and humanity.

This is nothing to do with Fentanyl. Trump is giving Canada the unpleasant medicine it desperately needs to cure from the woke mind virus. The weak DEI type will not survive. Only then will Canada become strong and a worthy partner to the reborn USA.

USA will understand very soon for stupid mad trump...!

Couldn't be more proud of being Canadian. As an American-born who holds dual citizenship, I am incredibly ashamed of being associated with the USA in any capacity nowadays. Trudeau should go a step further and label Trump the soft fascist authoritarian he seeks to become.

Donald Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist. That's all there is to him. He has successfully gaslighted the USA and has fanbases around the world. Flying monkeys around the globe feel empowered by just waving his flag. This will become much, much worse. May god be with us.

Trump , vance and Musk , are not very smart , \nby open trade wars , only the people get hurt on both sides , \nand if USA go after europ then usa will loose even more , \nUsa need us as much as we need them , and Trump \nshould start thinking , becosue americans are loosing power as well \nmust of in europe dont see USA as western leadership anymore , \nthat eneded when people of USA was stupid enough to vote for trump and \nvance , we warned USA people this would happent and still they voted trump \nand now you want us to stand with you ,,,, honestly we have a saying that goes like this \nyou gonna lay in the bed you made , and if you complain about you better redue you bed ! \nSo RNC votes , do you feel the pain the trump a, vance and musk are doing to you , \nif you do then time to remove the idiots from power ! \nand btw , you should rename RNC to RNCC ( Real Northamerica Criminal Consortium)

Huge number of people here in the UK boycotting all products from USA until trump is ousted

Trumps administration has decided to Put the American people first the ones who where FORCED to work there asses off week on and on just to get the crap end of the check all cause this country and that country wanna fight and NOW THE US HAS THERE TRUE LEADER BACK AND SAYS NO MORE. YALL wanna find shit to complain about kiss my grits. USA USA USA USA ?? ? THANK YOU TRUMP GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD J TRUMP. That’s my president!!! ?

Je suis Canadian. F*** Trump's USA. Stop pretending the USA are a democracy, stop pretending the USA are our allies.

The fact that Trump had put tariffs also against the EU, I firmly think he will do it to us here in U.K.. it will not surprise me.\nHe’s an a-hole, an think he’s doing good for the USA, but the U.S will suffer. Good luck, no sympathy!

WELL DONE, someone needs to stand up to Trump & his bullying. Keep at it up; this is like a breath of fresh air in this stinking USA government.

Is there anyway that USA can be isolated . In order to put Trump on pressure to resign

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

Trump is a d f. Congratualtions. Great vote usa. There is nothing your enemys have to do, just watch you destroying yourself

TRAITOR trump is A NAZI TRAITOR that is fu*king up OUR Nation & it's people. He is a disgrace to USA & the world

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

Warning trump breaking up the USA for Putin , in six month you will be all in the gutter . GOOD BYE USA YOU VOTED FOR PUTIN GUY.

The problem is you! Trump can’t stand you get out of Canada Traitor. Go live with your handlers that impressed you so much the Chinese. Let me be Cristal clear to you when faced with a sad reality as to who will puppet Canada I choose, I pick the USA over China any day traitor. you’re an embarrassment to your father now get out of town.

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

We don't need the USA, as a country we are untied. I think Trump has no idea what he is messing with

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

The USA should become Canada’s 11th province—by the people’s own free will! What a sharp and articulate President! That would be a total upgrade from Trump. ?

If you make a person your President, who is not only a 34 times CONVICTED FELON, but is also a FRAUDSTER, who has filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES, what did you think he was going to do to the economy of the USA?  \n\nDid you not see what he did to the rock solid economy he took over from President Obama in 2016?  It took President Biden 4 years to fix the US economy that Republicans and Trump DESTROYED by the end of 2020.  When President Biden left office the US economy was the ENVY  OF THE WORLD and now in just a few short weeks Trump and Republicans HAVE DUMPED THE US ECONOMY BACK IN YHE TRASH!!!

I hope everybody starts straight out blaming trump. Not the usa. Just explain that we like the usa, but they chose a stupid old man and now we all have to deal with it

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

Why is everyone tiptoeing around the real reason for these tariffs? Trump has made no secret of his true motivations. He wants to absorb Canada into the USA so he can exploit it's abundant natural resourses, redirect fresh water across the border and give their military free reign of the arctic regions of the country. Any and all other justifications and excuses he comes up with are little more than window dressings

No wonder Canada has decided to concentrate trade to Europe, American arms manufacturers are switching producing American arms production outside the USA.\n\nCountries effected by trumps tariff wars will be signing trade agreements to trade outside the USA pushing down offshore prices of a range of products American consumers already consume in quantity.\n\nEurope and other trading partners will benefit from these short term moves. Trade flows, capital will reallocate to off shore locations.
