As an American and human being, I’m beyond embarrassed and disappointed, but not surprised. I apologize for our buffoon “president”. \n❤️ I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??❤

I stand with Canada ??, Ukraine ??, and Mexico ??!! ???? American indigenous, Modoc

Trump isn't listening, he's preoccupied with all that $$$ Money putins giving him for turning against Ukraine and the western alliance, putin has deep pockets and trump will do anything for some of it..\nThe tarrifs, talk about Gaza, Panama, Greenland, his mate Musk and the Billions he's supposedly found, it's merely a Distraction while his deal with putin is established & underway.\nPutin was right in 2022 with talk about a new world order, yet who thought it would turn out this way..

Pensez-y. Pour lutter contre les tarifs américains, l'Ukraine n'est pas l'affaire du Canada.

I thought this Woke idiot was stepping down. Trudeau is a disaster, everyone hates him in Csnada like they hate Zelensky in Ukraine. Putin is at 95% approval.

Canada, don't back down against a bully! We know very well in Ukraine that surrender means death.

Trump is making moves on basis of half secret report on agricultural future of Russian Federation.They burned their soil with artificial manure,and they will be hungry for bread,Ukraine is their field now to survive,real reason for war,future wars for food and water have begin in front of our eyes and every politican of higher rank pushes some distractive agenda,we are at point of no return with size of population and agricultural limits.

F cnn f Canada f Ukraine F all of you

Wow! A True leader that speaks Truth!!! I'm American & I stand with Canada, Mexico & Europe, as well as with Ukraine. It is past time for our military to go rogue & remove this Cabal that is not only destroying our democracy but the world.

Putin couldn't be any happier with Trump. Unless he US attacks Ukraine too.

Hi. Big SALUT to Mr. Trudo and Kanada !!!! GLORY to Brave Ukraine !!!!!!!!!

Trump negotiated the current North American Trade Treaty but he forgot about it and criticize himself. What a smart guy??. Now he is engaging in trade war with our allies. Putin is winning. Next will be ending sanction against Russia, breaking up NATO and selling out Ukraine.

What a real president! What an inteligent and dignified man. Portuguese stand by Canada and Ukraine

As a Canadian, here's my biggest concern. The whole border thing was nothing more than a ruse. Trump has cozied up to Putin ... basically, he's Putin's poodle. He's tossed Ukraine to the wolves. (Though, I think Europe and Canada will increase their efforts to help Ukraine.) My fear is Trump will find some way to justify sending American troops into Canada to simply seize the resources he wants but is unwilling to trade for.

Slava Canada ?? slava Ukraine ??

It all makes sense. Everything that doesnt make sense does make sense if you look at it from the point that Trump is a puppet of Putin.\n\nThen everything, from Ukraine to whacking friends, to underming his own people, starts to make all the sense in the world.

As a u.s citzen I'm appalled and ashamed of my president. The elites got what they want but doesn't mean it will last they talk about exposing corruption but yet are doing some pretty corrupt things why do we only get 2 choices for a president and lesser of two evils why don't we pick someone with morals and that have the best interest for our country and people not just the rich cause I've been struggling before during and after trump maybe we need new congress and stop this dumbass blame game of pointing fingers when dems and rep come together we can be unstoppable why are people so stupid and selfish like we have it easier than most country's last I knew we don't eat cats or dogs so that tells me are economy not as bad as other places just seems like the rich are losing and this will help them stay rich. I don't like Biden or trump but my god does no one notice the segregation that's pushing us apart? we were all for Ukraine before and now plp wanna act differently without facts or knowledge kids family's they are dying cause putin is a prime example of a dictator.... praying and hoping we come together to fix this and show our next generation on what not to do.

Chump wants to fight you because him and Putin are working together. Look what he did to Zelensky and the Ukraine.

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada & the Ukraine - not with Russia.

All the naysayers of the USA, move to Ukraine or Canada! Bye

Hello dear ?people of America?❤️\nI'm from Ukraine???\nI apologize?if our country offended you in some way?\nI wanted to tell you that in 1994, your country, together with England and Russia, promised us a security guarantee in exchange for our giving up nuclear weapons, which we agreed to?\nNow, when Russia attacked us, your president accuses us of something?\nUnderstand that we are Ukrainians, we are free people?we are good?we are strong?we are singers?we are hardworking?we are beautiful?as you yourself noticed?❤️our people are like football player Andriy Shevchenko, boxers brothers Klitschko, and Oleksandr Usyk, singer Ruslana, with her wild dances??\nAnd many other people you know, our people?\nSo, I want to tell you that we ?are being killed Russians?Every day, there are fewer and fewer of us??

He must not have watched the hockey game recently….we are America, the greatest and strongest country on the planet….dont f with us, you don’t scare us…. You need us LoL learn the hard way, ask Ukraine LoL

I am French Canadian who is an American citizen and never have I felt so DISCUSTED AND APPALD with this new government that has started the fall of everything that America stands for I STAND WITH CANADA ?? MEXICO ?? AND UKRAINE ?? ?

I am Canadian and I don't want my government to send my tax money to Ukraine.

Isn't Ironic that President Trump cabinet PICKS Are Pro Russian? Why bother with Ukraine ? THE PRIZE IS US (A)

Canada stand strong. Do trade with Ukraine. F**k Trump!

@CNN @Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not my government, but all Americans and our allies, as well. It is reckless, and the current government is a dictatorship. They were all lies. Many of us knew that, others drank the Koolaid. I am sorry. I stand with our allies, especially @President Zelenskyy & all of Ukraine!

I stand with Canada , Ukraine and the rest of the world ?

Wow, he just proved why Trump doesn't think he's a great ally. While Trump is trying to end the war in Ukraine, he's saying that Trump is on the side of a modern dictator. If he was an ally, he would try to find ways to end the war, not putting more fuel to the fire by sending money with no plan, no end in sight.

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

Trump is wrong about Ukraine your description of putin is a true!!!Americans mostly respect Canada as an ally, trump is after all NATO allies its obvious ploy for Ruzzia despot!!!

As I am the 27,000th commenter, I know this won’t be read…but the REAL reason DJT is doing this is to knock us (Canada) down and weaken us so he can come in and take what he wants afterwards. He knows he can do this, just like he did a few days ago with Ukraine. You are not our neighbours; you are not our friends. You are the new world predator country.

Did you know that since the beginning of 2022, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordability in Canada. \n\n$10 billion could have built 30,000+ affordable housing units, reducing homelessness and rent prices. $5 billion could have expanded healthcare, hiring doctors and nurses to cut wait times. $2 billion could have Canada has committed approximately $19.7 billion in multifaceted support to Ukraine. Let that sink in.... $19,700,000,000 ?\n\nThis comprehensive assistance includes over $12.4 billion in direct financial aid, the highest per capita contribution among G7 nations, and $4.5 billion in military assistance, intended to be delivered through 2029.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has pledged a $5 billion contribution, with $2.5 billion disbursed recently and the remaining sum to follow soon.\n\nIf Canada had spent the $19.7 billion on domestic issues, it could have significantly improved\nsupported veterans and provided clean water to Indigenous communities, while $3 billion could have upgraded roads and public transit. Another $2 billion could have funded food programs and tax relief to combat rising living costs.\n\nRedirecting this money could have directly improved the lives of millions of Canadians, addressing urgent national crises instead of foreign aid for a fake war that the Ukraine can never win...

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

Im uk, canadian cousins, best people on the planet. Widely regarded as just being the nicest country on the planet, from france and england, they have taken the best of both, determination and grit but always keeping things polite. The most reliable dependinal country ever. The us have had the luckiest neighbours on the planet. And no 1 of worlwide neighbours. For trump/elon to screw both ukraine and canada in the same week. Only person who could have wanted that more is putin.

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

From Uk, I support Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

Trump is so clearly compromised to Russia and Putin. His every action is to destroy America and to aid Putin. American voters disgraced themselves and their country by voting for a corrupt, stupid, rapist and wannabe dictator. I feel bad for Ukraine and Europe that Trump is aiding Russia over supporting our best allies.

Thank you prime minister Trudeau , I am so sorry this big orange turd and his administration are doing this to Canada, Ukraine , Europe and even our own citizens!!! I did not vote for that psycho I am so ashamed of my government ?

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.

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

I am a American and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukrain

Trump is leaving Canada open to be invaded by Putin once Ukraine has peace in its remaining territory! This is just more of Trump showing he is obliged to Russia!

Thank you Canada for supporting Ukraine, you have always been on our side, always. We appreciate it and understand what it is like to be betrayed by the United States of America. Ukraine stands with you, Canadians! Canada, be strong! ?????

Retired south Florida resident who voted against Trump and cohorts. I stand with Canada ??❤ and every country who is supporting Ukraine ?? and President Zelenskyy.

The excuse Trump is looking for - especially on energy and minerals - he will come and he will take what he wants. Trump has stated that for Greenland and Panama and is pretty much demonstrating what he is willing to do to get minerals from Ukraine. Toughen your US border - the military is coming...

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

Right On! rump is trying to take the US into a Russian ally. I support Canada's position! I have never been so ashamed of our government than today! Between genocide in Israel to repeating Russian talking points about Ukraine, this is the worst result of electing this enemy of the people of the United States.
