Why is Trump doing this? I don't get it. I thought Canada was the USA's #1 buddy.

From Europe: Great speech of Trudeau! One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

Trump is now planning to get everything from Russia and North Korea.....let's see how long his game lasts. This is outrageous

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

Trumps chosen and the idiots who voted for him chose to do this. We smart people who didnt vote for him are getting punished by his narcissistic sociopathic self. He doesnt even think about us who will be hurt by all this and only thinking about his selfish self because he cant have his own way.

That's how a statesman speaks—Trump, on the other hand, talks like a sulky, spoiled child who doesn't get his ice cream.

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

I hope Canada and the EU can get closer, and set up trade of most of our natural resources with them BEFORE Trump get yelled at to change things so theyre extra screwed. I also dont understand why the USA is so hell bent on making Russia happy and their Allies angry, is the USA and RUSSIA the new Allies? Dont Americans find this unnerving??!?!?!?! This is all goijng to make China the new real SuperPower on its own with a ton of Soft Power while they continue to ramp up development around the world and the USA is being gutted by a business man and his unelected NAZI buddy Elon....so weird...!

Trump succeeded in getting Canada and Mexico to protect the US border, something the US couldn't do for decades. Claiming that drugs were flooding into the US from Canada is another Trump lie that the media promotes constantly. Trump is a dangerous fool, thinking he will buddy up with Russia and come out ahead. Better men than him have failed and paid a high price for trusting Putin. Wishing our US friends the best of luck under the rule of this radicalized tyrant

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

We all know it was never about DRUGS and Illegal immigrants anyone with a brain should know it was always about the MONEY, ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY. Trump should of just told them honestly, no more FREE period instead of making these countries put resources at the border. Trump play a game to get 2 for 1 by making them secure the borders and making them pay tariffs all at the cost of the American people if Americans do stuffer. But I do again with the tariffs everyone should pay considering that all the factories run to these foreign countries for cheaper labor, and Americans are your biggest buyers. Any country who wants FREE should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe Canada should be free US and Canada had a good relationship. But Mexico and China NOT at all.

What does tRump get from this?? He does nothing without personal benefit! Or this just Putin's creature destroying the world economy as a revenge for the collapsing russian economy??

So, everyone gets punched in the gut, except Trump, his puppet masters, and Putin.

Very strange what Trump is doing. 1. Sympathize with Putin. 2. Isolating Canada 3. Retrating USA troope from Europe...USA i think Trump want's to isolate you and make you go to war. Get him OUT !!!!

CANADIANS HAVE TO BE STRONG AND STAND TOGETHER..THIS IS AN ACT OVE WAR AGAINST OUR COUNTRY OUR WAY OVE LIVES AND FREEDOM..IT WILL GET WORST TRUMP IS A DICTATOR AND DANGEROUS. NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER CANADA STRONG ????????????

The excuse Trump is looking for - especially on energy and minerals - he will come and he will take what he wants. Trump has stated that for Greenland and Panama and is pretty much demonstrating what he is willing to do to get minerals from Ukraine. Toughen your US border - the military is coming...

FrommGermany: Great speech of Trudeau ohne can only hope that it is being heard. One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

welcome to European life pay tax for everything, in EU we pay 20-30% of VAT and up 50% of our salary go to gov.. so yeah we poor in EU as we pay up to 70%-80% in taxes (depends on EU country) but basically yeah happy life.. basically we pay for healtcare and universities , so that 3rd world people could get free education .. I hope someone like trump will take wheel of EU.. there is no place for liberalism in future..

Canadians must be proud to have Trudeau, a guy with immense big balls. Not small fish caviar like in Donald Trump's sack.\nGreetings from Austria and respect for not let your country get bullied from the disgusting Trump buffoon.\nTrudeau is a hero!

Putin has Trump dancing like a string puppet. \n\nHe has Trump causing all this turmoil creating economic calapse. \n\nHe's going to get Trump to lift sanctions so Putin can rebuild his military and weapons until Russia becomes more powerful than America. \n\nThen Putin will take Trump's lunch money.

US citizen. My vote to Canada, Mexico, EU, nd any other country that may get affected by this BOZO (Trump) of an individual.

This is what you get when your ideology is white supremacy. Nothing ever pointed to Donald Trump being qualified to be president of the United States.

Trump is a traitor that should get the chair for treason being puppy of Putin

Justin if we get rid of trump can you be our leader?

Trump wants the Stock market to go down because his rich friends can buy stocks low, and then he will take off the tariffs and then the price of stocks will go up and then they will really get more rich!!

I just want to know what Putin has on Trump? I smell FISH and I will not be proud to be an American until we get rid of this shameful administration.

Trump started a fight with all America's allies except with Israël. America is getting Isolated.

The crazy MAGA cult followers at my job will say it's my company that's rising prices and it'll be their fault. This is how delusional my co workers are ? nooooooo it's trumps fault!!!! But they worship him. He can do anything and get away with it it's crazy to me. And we Americans have it good!!! I have no idea what these whites guys with big trucks and money in the bank are crying about!!! I make 19 an hour and have it good. How do these people not have it good who makes more than me?? They Blame Canada, Ukraine and the migrants for hardship?? What hardship?,!!!! And if they do have it rough it's their fault!!! Because if a guy like me has everything he needs and is happy how are these crazy maga people not happy who makes more then me?

Getting tired of Trudeau and Trump speaking for both countries and the citizens of both countries.\nWhile World leaders fight for power the ordinary citizens of both countries suffer the consequences of their actions.\nIf Trudeau really cared about Canadians he could start by eliminating the Carbon Tax.

Trudaeu, do what you need to. Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

Trump just wants more tax money from Americans. The excuse of business and border control were just to get us to get things done for him. Time to annex the states and make them suffer for trumps idiotic plans

It's sad that liberals think Trump isn't doing this because all these countries have been ripping us off. Do you think he's doing this for fun? Get yourselves off the corporate media. We are done being the world police and we are done getting ripped off by politicians that take money to look the other way when trade deals dont favor us at all. 30 trillion in debt. We cant continue to subsidize Europe and Canada.

If he speak like this to trump in his face, he will be the 2nd leader to get kicked out of the white house ????.

Listen up you do not disrespect the oval office or our president. You are an idiot if you are trying to get. President Trump. Bad side. Nooooooo that’s wrong. You will pay…zzzz

If Trumps ruffling feathers then that means he’s getting traction. Increase the 25% to 100%. We don’t need Canadians supplying us stuff.

I'm Canadian. You need to stop the gutting of your federal by Trump. He is a bankrupt billionare and he is going to drag you all down with him. We will be fine we can trade with anyone in the world Its not a matter of higher prices at this point we won't deal with you at all under these conditions Donald Trump is a russian asset and you need to get rid of him as fast as possible

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

Thank you president this is what a president looks like not what the United States has Donald Duck has missed the United States completely up we are so sorry I did not vote and put him in but those that did this is what you get for putting Donald Trump in office everything he said he is doing so sad?????❤❤

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

Come on... We know why Trump targeted Canada. Its because he was upset when Justin Trudeau was caught on a hot mic back in 2019 in London when he was talking about Trump's press conference. Trump is a child who likes to get his payback for people who he believes wrong'd him.

Yo Trump, Canadians are wild, bro. They may be polite and all but not in a fight. They know how to fight dirty… like really dirty. Buckle up American! Ol’ boy Trump gonna get us in a big mess.

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Please someone, get Trump out of the Whitehouse.

Canada just threatened Americans directly. Now it's going to get ugly. Why would Canada escalate and dare trump?

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

As an American - I am completely ashamed of this terrible trump administration - clearly trump has no clue & only knows mob tactics to get anything done - I salute Canada for standing up against this clueless trump
