TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

At this point it would be smart for Canada (as well as Mexico) to enter a defence/arms deal with China and make China a strategic ally. Possibly extend the same deal to Russia. US under Trump is effectively an unreliable ally, doubling down on catastrophic mistake/decisions instead of making swift amends.

Trump is aligning America with dictators in Russia, North Korea, Israel and Hungary and back stabbing our allies. I have never been more fearful for our country in my life.

Trudeau is saying exactly more or less what zelensky was saying when he went into the Trump's den and got mauled by all of the Mega Trump cult conspiracy supporters. I don't know what Kool-Aid they've been drinking but it's betrayal and hazardous to our allies and most of the American people. The only party that gets stronger from this is russia. Our present obviously has been compromised by Vladimir Putin he's a traitor he should be tried for treason. In the end soon he will get his pay back one way or another for causing so much outrage

Trump has to be on the take with Putin. Somewhere in the past he has dropped his pants in Russia and become compromised, this is getting more obvious by the day.

It seems pretty obvious. There've been rumors that Trump is a Russian stooge. Now, everything he's doing is either eroding western alliances or empowering Russia. The US is a puppet of Putin's Russia at this point. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

Well, when one of the worlds famous American billionaire's ( Warren Buffet) TELLS YOU that tariffs are an act of war, perhaps you should listen. Trump is going to send millitary aid to Russia, and ask for Russian aid to annex Canada. USA- your sons and daughters are in danger.

Sadly the plan for Russia ?? and China ?? it’s going well , Division among America's allies , Dividing America's allies and igniting hatred between them is what America's and Europe's enemies, China, Russia and North Korea, want. This is exactly what they want to eliminate America, which is America's isolation from its allies, Canada and Europe, for the success of the plan of China, Russia and North Korea, America is in danger, gentlemen. Making its allies like Canada and Europe abandon it will push America to confront Iran, China, Russia and North Korea alone. This is a hellish plan by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. America is finished. Trump is a businessman, not a politician. We want to unite America's allies, not divide them. Trump will lead us Americans to hell.???????????????

Whoa the fuck just say Trump and maga group not the united state. We for sure are not with Trump nor we'll never be with Russia so just say Trump and maga group Mr. Trudeau I voted for Trump to be impeached

Putin is getting exactly what he told the moron-in-chief to do and as soon as trump manages to alienate the rest of the civilised world he will drop the sanctions with Russia and make personal business deals with them.\nThis isn't about America - this is about trump incorporated and every stupid decision he makes will be preceded by market trades by third parties that will be hard to trace back to people in his administration.\nHe's stealing from MAGA and they're applauding him.\nAlso, trump is not smart - he's a crook, and dumb as a fencepost.

It is no longer a secret. President Donald Trump is a Russian Asset. He's openly destroying American Allies and closest friends while getting extremely close to Russia. Canada is America's closest ally, neighbour, and trading partner, and this is how you're going to treat them. The sooner the American people realizes this and pressure their elected officials to make Donald Trump to reverse course, the less damage this will cost Americans in the long run.

It's dumb, but it's not empty-headed: Fentanyl is a pretext to a trade war. And the trade war will be the pretext under which Trump decides to annex or invade Canada. It might sound overblown, but Trump and Russia are hoping to carve up the world and hand it to the billionaire class. Read the room.

This isn’t about fentanyl this is Diaper Don holding grudge against Juston Trudeau. He hates anyone that threatens him when it comes to power. Trump has been in bed with Russia since he was a young man. He is a Russian sympathizer and always has been. I am sure his father Fred was too. Why else has not one Trump ever served our country in war time and peacetime. He call veterans suckers and losers He is a traitor to our country and selling out our country out. Time to stop the carnage he is inflicting on this great nation by having him removed by any way our military can take him out. Otherwise Putin and Trump together will destroy our nation along with other great nations due to their thirst for power, land, and riches.

Trudeau you must know not all of us Americans support trumps plans with Russia.

The United States of Russia, Trump and Putin vs the rest of the world.?

FOLLOW THE MONEY. trump and maga republicans (incl musk) are bought and paid for by mr poutine. Not speculation. The trump jr kid expressly said that they have enough money from the russian banks (under mr poutine's control). The video is on the internet from like 10yrs ago. They said it. The trumps are traitors and must be removed.\nCan we deport them to russia?? Please.

Donald Trump has plan to invade Canada, Mexico and other countries in South America. If he will do it no Russia will support him that why he started make friend with Putin.

Trump is trying to disintegrate all his allies,thinking that he is the most powerful but back down with Russia. what a shameful..Big mistake of American people voting for Trump. Philippines watch out with Trump he will Turn you UPSIDE DOWN.

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

President Trump is wise and reasonable enough not to engage a direct confrontation with China and Russia which will plunge the world into more bloodshed and caos....

What did America expect from a con man, a convicted felon!\nLook, Trump aligns with Russia and other dictators, but in order to do so, he has to cut ties with the allies!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

Russia on non-agricultural goods their tariff is only 7.1 % wake up Americans why no new tariffs on Russia? ?? but our neighbors 25% consumers will pay so will all market holders. First March Trump was in office market crash. Second go around is going to crash again?

U.S. ARMY VETERAN WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO Russia like trump has. Wake up America

You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

As a Canadian I stand with trump and Russia.

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

Trump is a joke to the world. Countries have realized Trump can’t be trusted. He has left America open to Russia, China and North Korea to take over.

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

It’s about Trump gaining personally by allying with Russia. Trump supporters are not that bright.

Y’all are just Trump haters an sore losers..You will never be open minded at all..Ypur like a children..I wish you would all leave an move there and dance in women’s clothing..Better to be a friend to Russia then an enemies..

Something Trump is doing in Russia has put him under Putin’s thumb perhaps.

China is rising and is in good relation with Russia , knowing this Trump wants to be in a good relation with Russia ,trying to stop The rise of China, this is a dump policy. China market is going to grow even if USA is in good relation with Russia. Trump must not apply tarriff like these , this will just suffer the Americans ?

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Trump is a coward, he chose to side with Russia

So when Russia takes Canada and they’re on your northern borders, maybe then you guys will do something about Trump

He only cares about tariffs trump is actively trying to save the world. If russia takes Ukraine, the whole Europe is in trouble, including Canada. We are literally the only humans in our universe that we know of, and everyone is worried about trump. He fixings something thats so little of our problems. And ps Mr. Canada is no good.

Trump sending American troops and armaments to Russia to help Putin in his wars might soon to happen.\nTrump spearheading a Russian- American alliance is not an impossibility.\nWorld peace is in peril!

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

All MAGA are TRAITORS. So sickened by the way our allies are being treated. tRump is owned by Russia and his followers are to stupid and ignorant to see it.

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

Trudeau in the first 10 seconds already opens with a lie. Trump never said he’s going to “appease” Putin. He is (and I note I don’t see Canada getting involved) negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. That means both sides are going to want something out of that deal in order to sign it. But I’m not surprised with Trudeau deliberately spouting disinformation, it’s a national sport for him.

Trudeu is wrong. President trump actually makes sense. They have always support invader. The support israel, and russia

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

8:09 I am glad someone has stated it publicly. This division is the goal pushed by China, Russia, Iran and other Authoritarian states. Whether he realizes it or not, Trump has just sold out the west to Authoritarianism. As bizarre as it is for my brain, I have to ask is Trump a foreign agent

It is very clear the Trump administration wishes to join Russia in a pact of Dictatorships. The GOP see an opportunity to set up a Kingdom for ultra conservatives at the expense of our republic.
