Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

We don’t care we stand with president trump and his agenda of America first. Canada invited millions of students across the world and dumped into usa ?? unexpected

You know you’ve messed up bad when the government of your closest ally starts addressing you by your first name only.

Yep.... that's exactly how our US President sounds. Completely eloquent, thought provoking and with concern and passion for all human beings everywhere. ..................... I mean.... honestly.... does anyone feel that America is stronger & safer today? I doubt even the most ardent supporter of President Trump can honestly think that.... This is getting pretty darn serious and I'm not happy about that. IT IS ONLY THE FIRST MARCH of his SECOND TERM!!!!

First acknowledge that a country has the right to control its borders. The US has lost its Aircraft industry (Boeing), its Car industry (Detroit) and now its Semiconductor industry (Intel). Millions of unscreened people are infiltrating. Trump is trying. In the case of Canada and Mexico tariffs are counter-productive. Its tough to turn a declining empire around. His strategy is to tax foreign goods instead of taxing US resources and to force local production. The US citizen pays either way.

Our closest friend who denied all the leftists when they wanted to escape Trump the first time and move up north

America First?

You wait till the wars all start, I said it here first. ?

I don’t understand how orange stupid lost his first trade war he started during his first term and doubling down again thinking something will magically change. I suppose the only thing that changed was how much more dummies drunk the orange Julius and here are now with folks proud of fellow Americans losing their jobs, a foreigner meddling with domestic policy, and shitting on our allies because they think these alleged cuts will somehow directly benefit their personal bank accounts.

The first time ever I feel Justin Trudeau speaks like our Canadian prime minister.

For those out there that are thinking Canada is weak please remember that half of the things that are considered war crimes are only on the books because Canada did them first. Canada has a history of fighting dirty.

Trump is a Dump for Putin. He is Putin's --- kisser. It's so sad. Billionaires first, working class people are just puppets.

I'm so frustrated, Trump said he wants CANADA to be the fifty first state so we can have all those precious minerals . He said it on tv

For the very first time I agree with Justin Trudeau.

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

Well done, tariff wars are not the same as diplomacy. Consider this happened in the first DT administration and the US lost those exports contracts to Brazil who gladly took them. DT had to send farmers a bail out and this, well this will likely be worse. Hang in there border states. Well done Canada. Tsk, tsk 'Donald'. US citizens, become 'Indivisible'.

America has completely lost its mind. This is the first year of my life where I am completely ashamed to be an American

This is the first time I’ve seen a U.S. president flattering the Russians. Trump, do you think you’re worthy of President Reagan? Worthy of the many Americans who helped bring down the Soviet Union?

All factual Christian. Putin is a murderer. He murders in Russia and he murders overseas. He too has the blessings of a craven Christian Church. Everything he says is true Donny first American last.\n\nDonny the addled Trump is the best thing to happen to Trudeau politically.

at first i thought it was Amber Heard behind him

Do not fall for Trudeau, he is not a competent leader. His resignation would explain his competencies. We pay taxes like crazy, he does not do a damn thing about it but wants to raise carbon taxes too.... He is just putting on a show.... For more than 9 yrs in power, he should have put Canada First, now that he is leaving and talks like he cares, what a hypocrite!

Canada will be on her knees in a month and you will become our 51 first state

Make Trump Great and First is that all he cares about. WE don't want him in office along with his underboss Elon.They work like a mob gang.

Putin's dream: Destabilize the close relationship of the US. border countries. What better first step to weaken their enemy? Putin is so much smarter than DJT. BTW, he called him Donald as speaking to an equal. Treudeau and Trump are equals.

wow he tried to persuade american to turn against their own goverment.. you know why this wars happens in the first place.. its about security.. remember he was the one who F'ed his own people earlier..

Ok let's see who goes broke first

A clown who could not answer questions properly now has got written text from someone who can better say it.\n\nBut calling others dictator is his first hypocrisy as he himself is. He is a swine who will bend for vote. This is his theatrics to gain vote

AMERICAN’S come first and the worlds pissed off ?

Sad to say but this will be the start of US disintegration just like what happened to the Soviet Union in 1991. Hawaii will most likely to secede first.

Jealous American here. Tens of millions of Americans have been so threatened by estrogen melanin intelligence and strength going all the way back to the beginning of Obama's first term that now we have the polar opposite. We have a Putin Kim jong-un wannabe.

Trump said the tariffs are in place until Canada becomes the fifty first state. Canada and Greenland are just another real estate deal, nothing more to him.

How about trade between Canadian provinces? First, we should remove interprovincial tariffs. I live in BC so I paid extra tax the Alberta oil much more than American. What a shame, especially liberal under Justin. I think the Conservatives should govern Canada. ?? I mean simple thing liberal was good last 9years then keep liberal otherwise, another party must govern our true north Canada.

Just to be clear, not all of us Americans voted for this dipshit. We're still suffering from his first Presidency.

Wonder which economy will collapse first?

aren't there ANY possible legal ways at all to stop them in their tracks?, english is not my first language and i learnt it late in life, but words like impeachment come to mind, along with criminal offences, felony charges for corruption, espionage and so on. Street protests?, mass complainings to your representatives?... i do not really know what you can do in your country (i'm in europe), but please do something, get your country back!... thanks for reading

Nah. This won't affect the Trumpets. They're accustomed to poverty. That's why they hate everyone else so much. Those who they think took what they are entitled with because they were here first or because the color of their skin. That's why they chose a false saviour with his lies that benefits them. They will be fine. The trash is ok with being treated like waste.

I feel sad and embarrassed ? I once was proud of our Country. This is the first time we are having trouble with our own allies. Make this make sense ?This Canadian leader is articulate and ? correct.

Why is Trump in office in the first place? Even if Trump has the answer, why does he conduct business like that of a 3rd grade Hollywood clan? The world is in struggle mode, and everyone is divided significantly. This is a sad day!

How is it a trade war when all countries have the sovereign governments right to tax. Every country will ofcourse look for their own interest first. Looks like Canada is going to have a crash landing economy.

USA first, we'll get back to you. I'll take the inflation. They need us more than we need you.

When Trump became president on the first term my family all went and got their passports so in case we needed to flee the United States to Canada.

America first! US is no longer the worlds cash cow!

Lolllllllls that's you president trump America first yes right

Trudeau calling Trump by his first name, Donald.

Where did he suddenly spring from? I thought he left. It’s the first time he has put any effort into his job as president!

??Canada First??

America first

As a Canadian, first time I am proud of our PM. Fuck this bullshit tho, were supposed to be homies man..

First , this is not the decision of American people.

I hope president musk and first Lady Donna see the writing on the wall
