Trump has sold America to Russia. America wake up and Do The Right Thing...Revolt against Trump. We will die under his leadership...Trump got of jail and unleashing his wrath on US citizens. Well done Canada..Well done ❤

Trump is a Russian asset. He is actively reducing US influence in the world and rapidly eroding trust with allies. These are goals shared by Putin, a mass murderer.

I stand with the US and Trump

Not all Americans align with Trump,We love our Canadian neighbors and a majority of us in the northern region of NY are of Canadian heritage and stand with all free countries ❤

Stand stronb trump is wrong hopefully he will be asked to step down before us collapses

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

President Trump has balls and is playing hard ball with Canada! Time to stop screwing us over! And you should be taking to our government, not the American people, WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT!

Lets start saying Trump instead of America or The US when it comes to this subject. 1 man did this. His attitude is not American.

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

No, he didn't, you are a lier. Trump is trying to find peace, Canada has been ripping of the US for decades. Now, when the US tries to put a stop to it, you get butt hurt. Canada should have played nice.

Thanks, Justin, for rubbing it in to those of us that didn’t vote for Trump, including me, that our current administration is doing this to us. ????

Didn't you cheer when each time the US slapped tariffs on China? Now you say tariffs make no winners. That's what the Chinese been saying for years, since Trump's first term

Screw Trump, Vance and all the idiots who voted for these two clowns. Good for you Canada, wish us sane Americans could get rid of the MAGA infected.

We need help ridding us of the Orange Buffoon in the White House. Most of us side with Canada now and are embarrassed by the truly ignorant ass named trump

You know the other person screwd up when you find yourself siding with Trudeau. Hopefully the people of the US and Canada can fix what Trump is breaking. ??

CNN, is there a reason why you are not equally posting Mexico's response to Trump's tariffs? Mexico is the US'S number one trading partner, and these tariffs will equally effect US consumers. There are now apps that translate from Spanish to English, and subtitles in English that appear at the bottom of the screen. As have been done with other languages on your program

Here in the US. Please remember not everyone voted for the Trump clown show. He's delusional and in denial with himself. Fuck Trump, Fuck Elon!

Europeans are not anti-US, but ANTI-TRUMP

Justin, I will try to make this make sense for you. President Trump is trying to stop you from taking advantage of the US, 'the closest partner and ally.' At the same time, he is trying to prevent people from being killed. Is that really so hard for you to understand??

Hey hey hey. The United States didn't launch a trade war. Donald Effing Trump and his Republican lickspittles launched a trade war. Most of us in the U.S. are sick to our stomachs about this attack on our wonderful neighbors to the North. Let's keep the blame squarely where it belongs. Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the list goes on from there.

The US did not do this. Trump did this. Trump is not the US. The US does not condone the idiotic actions of Trump. We, the unscammed US citizens would like to see Trump gone, whether by having him deported, or by any means necessary. We, true Americans stand with Canada and Mexico.

I just hope Trudeau knows that is was TRUMP that did this, NOT America!!! The vast majority of us stand with you and your country sir, and come 2029 this nonsense will be over

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

Trump wants to OWN us.\nHe wants to OWN the United States.

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

It's about bullying and control. Trump wants to side with Putin. Maga you better wake up because Trump and Musk DONT CARE ABOUT US.

Scary times for us in the U.S. and the world with Trump at the helm?

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

PM Trudeau, not everyone wanted Trump and not everyone stands behind everything that is going on. Some of us see what is actually going on and our hearts break because of all of this.

Ukrainian living in the US is here.\n Canadians, you are wonderful and amazing people. Trump is nothign but a national embarrassment

It makes me so sad that our Canadian friends have to explain their loyalty and friendship to us… their American neighbors. We don’t want this. Only Trump does. ?

I love Canada. Trudeau is just doing what he has to do. I harbor no ill will for Canada or the tariffs they will impose on us. The Felon fucked up and tried to look tough and Trudeau called him on it. Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor. The Republicans own this as well. We turned our back on our allies and now we have to stand alone. Russia will not help us. Trump needs to be impeached before our country is destroyed.

I live in Michigan us. Canada is our friends. DONT LET THIS asshole tRUMP kill us

Sorry in German.\nLiebe US Bürger, ihr wolltet Trump haben und nun habt ihr Trump.\nMan muss ganz klar sagen, euer Wahlsystem ist Scheiße.\nEin zwei Parteiensystem und dann mit den Wahlmännern und Frauen ist veraltet und komplett hirnverbrannt mittlerweile.\nWir in Europa sind so glücklich mit den Mehrparteiensystem und Koalitionen, dass es solche Spinner wie Trump nicht Kanzler werden können in Deutschland.\nIhr müsst euer Wahlsystem modernisieren und auf ein Mehrparteiensystem im Kongress und Senat umstellen und dadurch Mehrheiten schaffen, wo in beiden Kammern der Präsident gewählt wird.\nIhr braucht das Mehrparteiensystem, dadurch würde zumindest ein Teil der inneren Spaltung der USA beendet werden.\nSolange ihr aber euer Zwei Parteiensystem im Kongress und Senat nicht verändert werden solche Spinner wie Trump und Vance die USA zerstören und den guten Ruf von den USA in Europa und den Rest der Welt zerstören.\nTrump ist ein Diktatorfreund und wird sich immer einen Putin anbieten um in Russland Geschäfte machen zu können.\nFreut euch Trump ist der beste Agent von Putin

I wonder when the US will wake up and realize that Trump wants to destroy the US. He is allied with Putin. Sweden stands Whit Canada.

ViVa Canada....I am from USA! Harm us enough so Trump will be dumped!

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

Americans will lose big time. Everything Trump touches disintegrates he is now doing this to the US economy. He's making Americans poorer all for his own ignorance and cruel bullying.

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

TRUMP IS SETTING UP TO ANNEX CANADA. Canada's allies in Europe are now well focused on Ukraine and Russia, a US national emergency is being manufactured in that critical resources will be withheld by Canada, and Putin's bum-boy gets to live out his fantasy emulating Putin.

I love this guy! Trump is gonna cost a huge impact on us poor people

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

If you all believe that this is actually about fentanyl or the border - you're totally naive. Just look at the attacks being undertaken by Trump and Vance towards their allies around the world. This is abouts severing ties, and trying to assert dominance over its former friends. To declare the US the biggest bully in the schoolyard. This is Vladimir Putin's playbook - and his wildest dreams come true. It will only serve to isolate and weaken the US. As a Canadian - very proud of Trudeau's direct, honest comments.

Donald Trump has officially signed up the US to a four-year unlimited membership in the Axis Powers. I, for one, do NOT approve...

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Not surprised. Trump, you're an idiot. You will lose all your allies and significant trade lanes because you have no idea how to run your country and negotiate. Your economy and people will suffer. If you isolate US from the rest of the world, who will come to your aid if Russia decides to take you over? Where will the Americans flee to? Mexico?

Don’t be surprised Trump is trying to force his allies into a position where he will ‘claim’ they’re a danger to the US, so he can convince he owned and controlled political party and goons to ‘defend ‘ America and justify a war on those countries to gain control of their territories :(

Good for Canada. Trump is killing US. ?
