Trudeau is correct\nSeeing the U.S. fighting with its allies is exactly what China and Russia want

I'm an American and I'm so ashamed of the irresponsible actions of our government. Our nation is quickly being handed over into the hands of our enemies with our faithful allies removing their support from us because Trump can no longer be trusted. I support Canada and their leadership.

America's president is a low functioning narcissistic sociopath His tool box consist of threats blackmail bribery corruption as a kelptocradic dictionary ragiem His hostile takeover of America's country and economy unstableld security and alliances Are Acts that, mimicking Russian authorityen governing system Trump is a threat to Americans Faith honor dignity ethics and Life's desires He spoke of a GRATE country And it's betterment. His actions show the opposite He HASE made a path to collapse Are economy and prosperity stole the county's Treasury and perralized Americans democracy. He's threats blackmail and corrupt fraudulent methods HASE isolation of America's country from Are allies and befriend and give comfort to ARE ENAMEYS. This is not in the interest of America's country stop Trump's treasonous administration.

French here. To all my fellow canadians friends : we’ll be here for you. No one must be allowed to bully their closest allies like this. The future will be tough for both of us across the atlantic, but we’ll go through this. All my love❤

Good man Trudeau! The US agenda is bigger even than a trade war, this is a ruse that distracts from the US plan for Canada. Canada, join your allies in Europe, send your oil/gas and other resources to Europe tariff-free; Europe is a bigger market than the US.

Friend and ally with Trump? Wake up peoples of the world!

The American people love Canada… Please know that these reckless tariff actions are not supported by most Americans… not only do they damage the relationships of our closest allies, they do not work. They are simply a tax which is ultimately born by the American people.

Thank you PM Trudeau for this speech. i hope my fellow Americans are listening-so we begin process for returning to truth, honesty, friendship with our allies, and an intelligent realistic president and government. A government which doesn't bow to Putin.

America and Trump and Elon are done.\n\nThe EU with Canada and other allys are more suffisticated, technicolly further nd far more intelligent than Trump Elon and thet voters.\n\nCome on America.\n\nImpeach Trump.\n\nMake America Great Again.?

While Trump is aligning himself with other dictators is he trying to kill BRICS while losing allies.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

I did Every thing I could as a voter to support Kamala Harris and prevent this insanity. I am soooooooooooooo sorry for what tRump is doing- via hyperbole, deceit, conceit and outrageous LIES- to undermine our relationships with our neighbors and allies. Wish us luck. We're gonna need it in the absence of sanity, logic, and decency.

Canadians must stop apologizing to Americans. We have nothing to apologize for. Every single American of voting age is responsible for this. \nYour elected president is an existential threat to my children. \nYou’re not my friend or ally\nFO\n????

Wait, doesn’t he realize that destroying our institutions, safety and health, firing hundreds of thousands of Americans, stealing their private data, and social security, destroying the economy and our global security…and now, imposing insane tariffs on our allies to further destroy our economy is all destroying people’s lives, the economy and our democracy? Uhmm, YEAH, THATS THE F__KING POINT. But you’re definitely not going to glean that from corporate news media.

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

Absolutely right it's not about migrants or drugs. Trump has aligned with Putin, allies have become adversaries, a new world order is developing, a Triad, Putin gets Europe, Xi gets Asia, American gets the America's. Thats Trumps dream.

Here in the US we are whole heartedly in support of all of fellow Canadians who are not only our most trusted ally and friend but our brothers and sisters entwined in the same culture, philosophy, freedom, love and respect for each other until a convicted felon, a convicted sex offender, narcissistic pathological liar, criminal, traitor and Putin lover got elected. But we are still family! We will not allow one deranged, unhinged, delusional and psychotic man spoil our relationship.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been grifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake.

Trump is far from a genius. Ukraine president doesn’t want to see his people suffer anymore from a ruthless piece of garbage that invaded his country. Trump and Vance were an embarrassment to our country, low life’s . Then afterwards one goes and plays golf and the other one goes skiing talk about wasteful gov spending and you people are worried about the money we give to our allies just think about how much we spend on security for Trump and his family and his cabinet at the end of the year it will astonishing. It’s not like we will see any of this money he supposedly is making from these deals only he will see it and his rich friends !!

American. I support Canada and all our allies.

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

As an American and part Native American and who’s family’s 3x great grandmother walked the tail of tears when she was 12. I stand with Canada ?? and our allies . We supporter you all the way

I am so ashamed as an American and as a human being. I am so very sorry for all of this BS. And Americans are all going to be sorry because of what’s happening in Washington right now. We are all going to suffer. Canada, please keep doing everything you can to work with the UK and the EU and all allies to make the world work while the US sinks into a quagmire of squalor, no long the leader of the free world. ???

We Stand with our Allies?? NOT with Russia?

Donald is obviously a kremlin asset. During the past 3 years he never once condemned ruzzia for any of its war crimes in Ukraine. He constantly parrots kremlin propaganda, while criticizing US allies. Making ruzzia great again does not help US in any way.

I am an American. The actions taken by Trump is appalling! I stand with our allies!???????

USA wants to be Putin's bitch and attack its longest allies. This world is backwards. USA is is disgusting country.

Thank you Canada. A lot of us are not supporting this idiot. Those of us that didn't vote for him and pulled into the mess he is making are scared of what he is going to do to us and to our former allies. Stay strong Canada

Trumps trying to undermine and out USA allies and neighbours to their knees and take advantage of them if possible. If they kneel, he's going to milk them off them economically. ? dumb move if the US allies and friends dont budge ?

Dear Canada: I joke that I can see you from my patio. (A few trees & very cold lake in between) My apologies our government has treated our prized ally so poorly. My family & friends didn’t vote for this. - Wisconsin

Thank goodness there are heroes like Trudeau taking a prominent stance on the world stage. It gives me hope that our allies have not gone mad, even if some of my countrymen have. We admire you and support you, Canada. Thanks for telling the truth, boldly. We love you, Trudeau.

Hold tight Canada. It may be tough but do not give up, do not give in, do not bend the knee to those degenerats currently running the US. The Americans have just sold their long term allies to Russia for some short term (or mid term at best) gains. They are not to be trusted anymore. \nLast weeks events will be neither forgotten nor forgiven.

Our allies have good reason to believe we are no longer a beacon of freedom. Coming from a family with ties to both countries since the early 1700’s I’m appalled at the lack of public confrontations with politicians who remain sidelined by fear of reprisals from a corrupt judiciary and President.

Sadly this can all be fixed, just rise up and impeach Trump again. Attacking your friends and allies is morally corrupt, but it’s not surprising when watching all the Trump administrations rhetoric on everything else they are tearing down and risking and costing our US friends on all fronts. As a Canadian, I will not be going back to the US until this President and this disgusting rhetoric is gone.

Trump: I am sick of China´s expansionism...\nAlso trump: turn his back to his allies... to his neighboors!

This guy is ruining our relationships with allies. Stand up congress

trump has made the worst thing possible: old allies doesnt exist anymore and this is the worst thing for USA...they will see the result in the future

Preach it brother Trudeau! Not all Americans stand with tRump, vAncy, or mUsty! They could care less about our friends and allies! They care about only themselves, and how much money they can grift from everyone! I disagree with one of your points. He is NOT a smart guy.

I Stand with Ukraine Canada Mexico and all previous Allies of the US before this Lunatic was voted into office!! I voted for Kamala!

Make that Make Sense! Standing with our ally. Canada is Standing on Business!

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

Good luck! Just like the Australian politicians ass licking bastards, too long in the name of allies ? Bend over!

Deterioration of relations? That's an understatement,\nAn increasingly large percentage of Canadians now see the United States as our enemy - 27% a couple of weeks ago. As of today, I expect that's up to at least 50%.\nPrior to November, that number would have been negligible. Pollsters never thought it relevant enough to ask before a few weeks ago.\nYou're running out of allies, America. Soon it will just be you and Russia.\nWhich, I'm sure, will delight Putin and his agent, your Felon in Chief.

It doesn't seem very sensible to drive a wedge between the USA and it's traditional allies, very strange behaviour.

We have 2 mode in Canada : we are sorry and YOU WILL BE SORRY. Because how americans had voted.By the way, you can complaint only if you vote for the Democrat party. Canadians right now can complaint but we are strong, we are resiient, we never start a war BUT, we never back time when it was time of a war. We join our ally when it was a need.

TRUMP IS RUSSIAN ALLY. PLANT.

In Trump's mental world, there are no such things as 'friends' and 'allies'. The are only competitors.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

UK is with Canada. America is no longer an ally to us either. Hatred is growing for the USA across the world at a rapid pace.
