Trump wants Canada and that will not happen. Canadians will look after each other and fight the USA

Trump and Vance are idiots ?, pure and simple remember Trump went bankrupt 2… and now he’s in charge of the USA with yes men in cabinet.?

Trump wants to weaken the USA because he works for PutinTrump's behavior resembles that of a KGB agentTrump wants to turn the USA into North Korea. Stupid people are easier to govern. That's why he doesn't want to invest in education.Trump wants to turn the USA into North Korea. Stupid people are easier to govern. That's why he doesn't want to invest in education.

It was dictator Trump who rewrote the free trade agreement when he was in power before. Now, this dictator is going against what he SIGNED, which is against world law. But this dictator wants the USA to have a Russia style government in the USA.

TRUMP does NOT represent USA…TRUMP and his STOOGES does not care to respect equal rights & values nor respect every human.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

What I have loved most about the stupidity of Trump, his government and his supporters is that it has brought Europe and the commonwealth together. It’s made citizens of each country unite together at a time that there was so much division especially in Europe. People across the world boycotting the USA to show their, disgust, hit them where it hurts, supporting other business and bolstering our own economies, in doing so also supporting those Americans that did not vote for this. So much good coming from this.

When trump say secure ur border !?\nFentanyl just non racism to say\n\nTrudeau allowed INDIA ?? AND REGUGEE GETS IN CANADA ?? \n\nWHOM NOW BUSSING DWN SOUTH TO USA ??

really good speech!!!, Trump will destroy usa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

is not it open trade? USA can do whatever they want. Trump is doing it for his country. why do you talk it when it happens to only your country? They are doing the same thing to Iran, China and Russia for years. why did not talk like this when USA did same thing China and Russia and Iran. if they can do it to those countries, they will also do it to your country. What USA is doing to Russia, China and Iran for years is unjust and illegal. But as Canada you would not speak it out. If you do not talk about unjust, if you keep silent, that it would happens to you one day is inevitable. Speak for justice for everyone, not just for your country, dear Canada.

Wats hapenin in usa? Nobody wants to stop the russian comunist trump?

Trump is a disgrace to the USA. How can he allowed to do these things? He is a bully and needs to be kicked out of office..

You can't just elect and idiotic manchild and came out unharmed. Come on, USA, you can do waaay better than this. Trump is an egomaniac and a certified idiot.

Now can someone get the tRump to commit to stopping the cocaine from coming into Canada from the USA? Or how about the guns? It's a 2 way street here. We are doing our part, now you do yours. Keep your drugs and guns on your side of the border. Most crimes involving guns here are committed using American guns.

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

As a South African, I'm SO impressed with Mr Trudeau . Those are the world leaders we need. USA , Trump, has overplayed his hand. Thanks to Musk's advice USA is Sinking

Trump is destroying USA !

trump is like the abusive boyfriend alienating the USA from our friends so as to isolate us and keep us estranged from the world

You sit there spending 0 on your own military and live off us like a leech. You want to talk about hurting American families, lets talk fentanyl. You havent done shit until President Trump hit you in the wallet. You also have tariffs on us. The USA is also running a huge defecit with Canada. Biden is gone and the screw job is over.

Why do you not allow America banks in your country while we have many? Why does the USA subsidize Canada with billions of tax payers dollars? This man is a liar and is out of a job in 2 weeks. I stand with my President Dj Trump.

Ok Trudeau, you wanna play? Because Trump will walk all over your liberal ass. Come and get some. Youve been stealing from the USA for too long.

Trump is a sick person. Worst US President EVER. With his politics (also Russian friendly), he will let the USA fall into Nirvana. Shame on you Trump!!!!

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Figured out Trumps anti-migrant policy. Hes expecting world war 3 and doesnt want refuges coming to USA. when he closes mineral deal USA can be sustainable on its own and world war 3 will start

It's a drug WAR pushed by CHINA, CANADA & MEXICO! USA LEGAL CITIZENS have been PERSECUTED BY ALL! NOW that we FIGHT back everyone is crying in their cereal! We have been on the receiving end of bad deals for the USA for decades & no country spoke up for us! Things are changing. It will be a rough way for awhile.... But in the end all will see that TRUMP IS RIGHT!! A BALANCED SCALE IS THE ONLY WAY EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY!!!

the USA sides with Russia and abandons its allies! sadly, it is the USA which is isolating itself and will be the loser. Is Trump really a Russian agent? I no longer have any doubts.

Why the American people are so quiet? \nJust waiting for Trump to bankruptcy USA why we are just waiting for an economic collapse

---- TRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND IN PUTINS HANDS. ---- BELIEVE IT ---- ANYTHING ELSE DOESN''T MAKE SENSE --- DOGE / MUSK / TULSI GEBBARD / AND MANY MORE ARE PART OF THIS TREASON AND FRAUD. IT IS A MULTI LEVEL CONSPIRACY AND ONE OBJECTIVE IS TO CHANGE THE USA AN AUTOCRACY.

we dint choozzz this trump did 80 % of us dont want this we love you you are great ppl dont blame us all trump has gone to far a lot of the USA will fight for you

Trump is a disgrace to USA

Why are Canadian cities overflowing with homeless and drug addicts, crime up, homes/apartment unaffordable? Same in USA....I do not support trump, nor did I vote for him.....but hey, Trudeau destroyed Canada.......society is unraveling. This is simply another example.

Fake cowards. Wanted USA and Trump to wage world war 3 with Russia just coz Zelensclown's ego can't handle the fact he led his country into doomed.\n\nCanada gonna send what? LGBT soldiers?

Trudeau we need to just ban the products. 25% wont affect Trump. Doug Ford is banning products and ready to shut off the electricity Ontario gives the usa. Ban Teslas. Shut off the electricty so their GM and other plants close. Best time is now in the winter. ??

Aren't these acts of treason by Trump? Why no one is alarmed in USA by these obvious acts from a mad man or a traitor?

Trump still have his Sanity? the way he isolating USA from all allies going to hurt America badly... Look like he showing his vengeance on American who didn't elect him for strait 2nd term. or he is possessed by some bad aura from the advisors he have around? either way it not looking good, how this going to end.

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

As an American, I must say we have boot-licking morons running our Government. I can't believe EVERY Republican agrees with anything that Trump says. It's like we're living in a Twilight Zone episode. I feel so bad for Pr. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. I'm embarrassed to be American and I can't believe so many Americans were voting for this clown. That probably bothers me more than anything. Apologies to the world and our friends in Canada. JT is being too kind. Shut down your borders to the USA. Ontario....cut your electrical and energy power to the USA. Cut off all trade. I hope China does the same. Make the USA swirl down the drain in pain. I don't want to wait for 2 years to try and vote in more Democrats to put a stop Trump .Bully him back. Bullies always back down when strongly confronted.

The USA is now without friends around the globe: well except for Putin’s Russia. Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans are all united against Trump and his cabal.

Has Trump made our country USA, part of the Soviet Union!!??? Are we now Russian territory!!??

The Mexican president wants Trump yo take care of the cartels in USA, why he doesn’t take care of in his territory and wants to fix it in Mexican Territory. The last army guns that the government confiscated in Mexico were for Americans to tried to cross to Mexico .

Trudeau spoke well. I did not vote for him but he is doing great work these days. Under his leadership, all Canadians are united in this fight against the USA. He is absolutely right, this stupid war will have no winners, only losers, with the exception of Russia. To the Americans who voted for Trump or did not bother to vote at all, this is on you.

Isn't it obvious right now that Trump and his administration are being played by Putin and if it continues the USA will be Russian.

Trump(the Russian Agent) hates USA and he wants it isolated and weak

USA never spoke that they also are responsible to protect their borders too..! This is not justifiable ! They are abusing the all world specially in USA they are destroying trust for other countries. Trump is doing definitely everything wrong!!

God bless Trump and the USA! ??. Thanks God for trump saving the male and woman Gene!

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

USA, your home is burning, TRUMP and Vance are the criminals who put your country on fire. Who is going to stop the fire ?

If I weren’t going to Disney with the kids. I would have boycotted my trip to the USA. Canadians and Americans have always poked fun at each other, in modern history, but now, trump has created a division of hatred. You have actual Americans posting cruel comments. I guess, divide and conquer, was his plan. So sick

The trump(et) has taken USA hostage. Even some republicans are shocked.\n\nTrudeau: We in Europe are with you. And with Mexico.\n\nAnd to the american people: The sooner you can dispose of this narcisistic madman - The better. Not just for you but for all of us.
