Support for Canada from Australia - Boycott US Made good and isolate the US from World Trade.

Trump is going to isolate America from its closest allies and then our enemies will attack us Americans at our weakest when all our allies has cut ties with us!! And this is what Zelenskyy was saying the other day in the oval office, “you will feel it one day”. Trump is going to lead us into a war and who will have our back NO ONE!!!

Trump is trying to isolate US for Russia!!!!

Trump is intentionally isolating us from our allies, scary

How many outcomes are possible from Trump's tariffs? What does Trump expect from the tariffs? Why would Trump want to isolate the US? Who benefits from any of the possible outcomes of the tarrifs or the US isolation?

Very soon, the US will be isolated. Europe, China, Canada etc will work together. Trump is destroying the US and its citizens. Wake up!

What if Trump wants to be like Putin? Separated from the world, isolated just like terrorist state? What if Trump wants to have a US for his own?

Putin is celebrating one more victory - US is loosing allies, getting more isolated with each and every day ....

I don’t think that Trump’s Tariffs have anything to do with Fentanyl. His aim is to isolate USA from their allies, he wants to gather as much money as possible to pay for huge tax cuts to the richest oligarchs. This is all about greed first and the destruction of democracy second. We are so much more vulnerable as a nation at this time. I love my Canadian friends, please don’t think that us New Englanders support him.

Many of us stand with our strongest friend and neighbor. This is not what the people of the U.S. desire, it is not what we want either. The government that stands against our friends and allies and we are using our voices in hopes someone who is sucking his teat takes a moment to come to common sense. We are not a great nation in this moment and my heart aches for the many impacted from this rediculous moment of arrogance, name calling and isolation from the world

The US was an example, a role model for most of the entire world and it reversed in a matter of weeks. We are living absurd times. It is sort of a nightmare. Why is the US isolating itself, picking ridiculous fights with friends? If the American people don’t react to this and get rid of the madman, it’s gonna end badly… 4 the Americans.

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

ISOLATED POLITICALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARILY, JUST A BIG BULLY IN THE PLAYGROUD WITH NO FRIENDS. EUROPE CAN MANAGE WE HAVE NUKES AND THE BALLS TO STAND UP TO DICTATORS. CONSIDERING THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THE US HAS WASTED PROPPING UP DICTATORSHIPS ACROSS THE WORLD IN SELF INTEREST IT IS DISGRACEFUL TO TREAT UKRAINE LIKE THIS.

It starts to look like Trump is on pupose isolating the US so he can roll it up in a compleet dictatorship that nobody will stop him to do so. Like Putin creating rule by the super rich which are no more than pupets he keeps on a string.

Well done canada for standing your ground....having family there I know how strong the feeling is amongst Canadians.....be proud of who you are and take your produce , minerals and oil and deal with people who will treat you like an equal respected partner .I've no doubt europe will be next ......the american government will slowly isolate itself from its western partners and that's s real shame for the American public .......it'll cost jobs in the us cause inflation and it's gonna get a lot more expensive for everyone

its crazy, potus wants us isolated , so he sell America to Russia like he sold it to Elon. THEY TRYING DESTROY US, LOOK THEY GOT PEOPLE IN PLACES THAT DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE JOB THEYGOT FOX HOST IN CHARGE OF THE MILITARY, THAT GOT A PATEL IN CHARGE OF FBI, THE GOT KENNEDY WHO LOOK LIKE HE ALWAYS SICK IN CHARGE OF THE HEALTH, THE FIRE ALL HALF FAA WHO WATCH OUR AIRPLANES THE FIRE PEOPLE WHO LOOK FOOD , THE FIRE WEATHER PEOPLE , (WAKE UP) I DONT KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE TRYING GOT UNALIVE AMERICA. REMEMBER THE CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT ALIMINATING HALF THE POPULATIION ,WELL IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT S THE GAME PLAN . (THIS IS ON IN MY OPPINION NOTHING FACTUAL BUT MY OPPINION) ALLEGEDLY

US should be isolated after Trump did with UA

How come still nobody knows what Putin has on Trump? What was this secretive meeting in Helsinki years ago about? What was discussed there? Trump being Trump, who lies and who is weak of charactre and as bribeable and corrupt as they come. Can't put a normal sentence together. Picture that big toddler in a room with Putin and Putin alone.. Nobody knows what was discussed there. Now they have a president picking fights with his allies. He is fumbling at the very basis which NATO, Europe and US stands for, stood for.\nAt this point Trump basically is putting USA into isolation. Putin and Xi couldn't be more happy.

This is how we treat our friends and allies now. It's as if Trump has chosen to go to war against the American people directly, ruining our friendships like a jealous mate who wants to isolate you from his friends. He doesn't want us to have friends other than an equally abusive one like Russia. Did the voters really want this, even the ones who voted for him?

It's a shame what this US administration is doing to us here in the US .....Wake up America before it's too late ...we are isolating ourselves from the democraty world

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

I hope maga boys are proud of their choice. US is taking the russian route of self isolation that leads to all sorts of problems. shame such a shame.

I just can believe what Trump's government is doing, he's not even hiding it anymore, isolating the US and giving your country to the hands of Russia and going forward of China. Americans must do something about this, remember that a Country is governed by the people and not by few thugs! \nFrom Italy all of this is really hard to watch.

US will be isolated economically, global economy will take this in a personal level. There's beyond than food on the table in this life. And one them is relationship.

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

Trump is isolating the US States from our western allies. And ultimately the rest of the world. This is going to ruin US Security. And making us vulnerable in the global economy. We are not going to make it without having our allies around the world.

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.

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

everyone cannot the US. Quite amazing how in six weeks the USA has sh*t on everyone and isolated itself. Well done.

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

When a country is divided like we are , everything we do will result in failures to help our society and communities. We are essentially causing the unraveling of our safety, security and way of life. When Trump weakens us and pillages our financial and military systems as he is also isolating us from other democratic nations one of two things happens. Guess what that is?

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States now. It’s disgusting how we have allowed a completely unqualified and morally corrupt individual to become our President once again. What has happened to our country? We used to care about each other and our individual rights. We were willing to fight for the weak and help others around the world. We soon will be isolated as our allies turn their backs on us. Is that when Trump will join hands with Russia and China to create a communist block of power?

The world should isolate the US.

Not just Canada breaking up with the US, Europe and the UK too. The US is rapidly becoming a pariah state and isolation is why Trump is sucking up to Putin.

This hurts Americans in a much bigger way than minerals, oil etc …Trump is destroying all our relationships with allies all over the world. This has a larger impact than people are realizing… Trump has now isolated us from our allies and is stirring up trouble all over the world..just for Putin!!!!!

trump‘s agenda is to completely isolate us, which is straight out of a dictator’s playbook.

India is the source of 200,000 to 750,000 illegals (many fly in as visitors or overstay student and work visas) - it would take tens of thousands of flights to send them back. \n\nVia GROK\nEstimates of the number of people from India living in the US illegally vary depending on the source and methodology. As of mid-2022, the Pew Research Center estimated there were about 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants in the US, making them the third-largest group after those from Mexico and El Salvador. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) provided a slightly higher estimate, suggesting around 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants total in the US as of mid-2022, with India being one of the top countries of origin, though exact numbers for Indians alone were not isolated in that figure. However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported a lower number, estimating 220,000 unauthorized Indians in 2022, down from a peak of 560,000 in 2016.\n\nThese differences highlight the uncertainty in tracking this population, as methods rely on survey data, border encounter statistics, and assumptions about overstays versus illegal crossings. For context, US Customs and Border Protection recorded 90,415 encounters with Indian migrants at the borders in fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024), indicating ongoing illegal entry attempts, though not all encounters reflect people who remain in the US.

Is Trump trying to isolate us from the rest of the world?

Trump is doing a great job of totally dissing and isolating all of the US allies. Good job!

Trump; distraction, cruelty, chaos. Isolate US from world. Cut off communication to citizens, set up prison camps, promote ethnic cleaning in the Middle East. Deport your detractors. What a guy!

It’s like the sick leaders get off on further isolating the US

United States doesn’t have allies, they force countries to be their allies. ?‍??‍??‍??\n\nIn other words, they don’t have really any allies. It’s an illusion they’ve created themself. They barely have unity in their own country. Why would we expect them to have outsider friends?\n\nThe US is losing respect from many of them right now. isolate yourself! ? \n\nIs your President always golf 18 like another great isolationist leader? \n\nI think most of American would believe it if he would say so. ??

The US has other allies to trade with, including new ones like Argentina. I am however predicting further tension and isolation from Europe

Canada and Mexico should quit NAFTA and apply to join the EU. If Trump wants to isolate the US, he can knock himself out.

The US cannot just impose tarffis like these without repercussions. I hope the EU, UK, Australia and New Zealand follow suit. You cannot bully your allies for economic gain. The US will end up isolating themselves.

Out of incapability to compete, US has decided to sanction and isolate itself from the world.

The Americans will soon be poorer and more isolated than ever. Trump wants to make America great again? He is going to piss everybody, even the few nations that had kept good relations with US.

Why does it feel like Trump is systematically imposing sanctions on the US unknowingly.? These policies isolate his country from the rest of the world.
