It was leaving isolationism behind that made the U.S. the most powerful country in the world. Everything Trump does is contrary to common sense and decency. He is in this for Donald Trump and his few friends and screw the rest of you.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

Trump has new friends, now in Russia and North Korea?

As a European the US is no more a friend. Very sad!!! ?

I am from Romania EU and i wish for a PM like Trudeau. I admire Canada and always thought Canada is a great country. Many of my friend's moved there and every time i speak to one of them always telling me how great the country is and how smooth the things are going when everybody gets to a common front

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

This Is the 1st step for an invasioni of Canada in fiew time.liar Trump and his friend now can bombarding american information about the evil Canadians.hope i'm wrong. this Is a nazi procedure

This prez, and the one before him, aligned themselves with a Zionist and now a dictator while stabbing their neighbour and ally in the back! It's not looking good for the US right now, but we're praying for you all my friends. ??✌️????

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

I have made it make sense! ?\n\nTrump is and always has been a Putin Hack. His mission is to destroy America and our Allies.\nThis is what the KGB agent Vladimir Putin wants.\n\nPeople wake the F up!!! ?\n\nAmerica is not Russia's friend or Ally. We are their enemy, if you've forgotten that we're doomed ?

With friends like the US who need enemies?

✅many young Americans have died for drugs that came true Canada,\n❌you’re not our friend ❌friend don’t do that shit ❌❌❌❌

Serious respect and support to Canada from your friends here in Ireland. ✊

Wake up America. Are you still playing attention!? I'm sorry this isn't a 15 second polarizing sound byte. WE ARE LOSING OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS JUST SO WE CAN SNUGGLE UP TO RUSSIA. COME ON.

I just stopped playing with friends when they turned into dicks. Now as an Adult I want the border shut to anyone with a US passport. I want it shut to anything coming or going to America. Close the border. \nI'm cool with struggling so the Americans can be independent....

You have to do what you have to do..we don't like this but our government is being ridiculous..but thank you for what you've done and for being our friends..

Canada ?? is a friend to American people ! Donald Trump is being a fool, Elon musk seems to be secret president ? I am embarrassed by our current leaders !

Trump's logic is summed up in the first 30 seconds ...\nThe new republican doctrine is simple: threaten our friends and allies, help enemies of the US and dictators ?

As an American who has pride for our military and Canadian heritage, I stand behind PM Trudeau’s decision. He’s just playing defense. Like he said, the US and Canada are not just border allies, they have been our greatest friend. \nIf you are Canadian, please know not all of us voted for this clown who is ruining our country. From North Carolina

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

✅you are going to be out of your office anytime,\n✅maybe the next administration can do better your country Canada, right now Canada doesn’t want you, and USA doesn’t want you as friend ????????

We need to impeach trump and JD . He has turned its back on our allies and made friends with dictators. I feel bad for Americans that did not vote for trump.

As an American, this makes me so sad! Canada is our best friend

USA is not friend, not ally anymore... USA became an enemy of all West countries. USA is working for russian interests and for war criminal now... So, enough making illusions. USA is gone. Finito.

I wish Canada would put a list of items out made in Canada,so Americans can help them out, with purchases!❤️????? from your friends in America ?

Think about this a minute. Trump invokes a tariff and the stock market drops. The rich buy up all this stock, while a middle class and poor suffer. He’ll get what he wants and pull the tariffs and stocks will rise, making him and his friends richer at the expense of all the hard working Canadians and Americans. Food for thought

Whatever leader Melania thinks is cute Trump hates. If Trudeau was a good-looking woman Trump would want to be best friends

Great speech, Mr. Prime Minister! Meanwhile, figures like Trump, Musk and their friends are raking in huge profits, leveraging their influence to e.g. steer stocks in their favor. For them, it's nothing more than a high-stakes reality gamble—at every level. And in the end, it's the American people who will pay the price. Best regards from Germany...

If we make friends with Russia we are not at all worried about China and they know that. Check your history books...

Canadians, you have friends in Europe!

BULLSHIT. Friends don't rip each other off. No one gives a shit if you put tariffs on our goods, we don't make anything anyways.

I'm not your friend buddy! I'm not your buddy guy!! I'M NOT YOUR BUDDY FRIEND!!!

What is wrong with Trump. We used to be friends, but now US have new people in leading positions and all went to s*it. As European citisen i would like to see we are all friends like we used to be for 80 years. Or am i weird?

The mistake is in thinking the US is friend to anyone except Russia now

The tariffs on Canada and Mexico are not about what they are doing now. The tariffs are about what OUR FRIENDS????? allowed to happen for the last 4 years. They silently witness how illegals invaded our country and how they allowed the Mexican cartels to take over the borders. Many of our young people died to drugs and illegal criminals. Many of our law enforcement died and were kicked by illegals. OUR FRIENDS?????? watched without action and NOW!!!!! they want to play the victim card. Typical from countries that always blame USA for their failures. Cuba and Venezuela are great examples of what happened to countries that separate from the USA.

Trump pushes away all US friends, he acts like putin's stooge

All of trump's friends are getting screwed, trump has no friends he only sees trade to get richer.

Join your friends in Europe America is Russias b1tch now

Not buying American if I can help it. Not spending a day’s vacation in the U.S. as long as MAGAts are running the show. Not setting foot in a red state ever again. MAGAts, should you come north of the border, I suggest you not slip and reveal yourselves as such; for you will not be greeted as friends. 14:33

Trudeau speaks the Truth. This American stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. The current U.S. President and his administration has betrayed the American People, our Friends and our Allies.

A day and night difference, really, between the heads of states of the two (formerly) friendly neighbors. Sad!

You may not want it, but it is necessary to wake you up. Get other trade partners, DO NOT DEPEND ON THE US. Canada needs to close its borders to illegals , curb the asylum and refugees. Strengthen your Armed Forces.. Get out of the FIVE EYES. Concentrate on the infrastructure, housing, food safety. And do not refer to US as a friend. Cannot be any worse than it is. If only you did not go down to Mara La Go. Matter of days before you leave Trudeau. Think what havoc you created.

Trump is on an isolationist plan of action and America will end up alone in the world with no friends left except for Russia after it betrays every friend in the world. Trump is an agent of Russia doing its bidding.

Trump paid out billions his last term due to his tariffs. Farmers and Ranchers will go belly up real quick if he doesn't bail them out once again. Trump cares about putin and musk, and his billionaire friends.

The Vice President has now disrespected British troops by effectively calling them insignificant. How dare he dishonour the troops not just from the UK but from the rest of the world, who fought and died by your side after you were attacked on 9/11. America, the only friends you have now are the Russians. When will Trump learn that the administrations bullying behaviour is a sign of weakeness not strength.

Don't shit where you sleep. Don't shit on your friends. Donald McDouchebag does BOTH!!! 50 % OF AMERICANS ARE DISGUSTED BY THE REPUBLICANS!!!!!???? WE ARE SORRY CANADIANS OUR DEAR FRIENDS!!!????

Bravo Canada ?? The world is watching you step up for friends. freedom and Ukraine. ??????

Trump plzz STOP this ridiculous trade war man! Tariffs are fun... for complete idiots but real businessmen do NOT do this especially to your biggest costumers. Be friends! Stop needless wars life is already really hard enough with all the shite going on atm, there is no need to make it even harder. Plzz just stop it! Before it is too late!

This could be the fall of the US ?? \nIf they do not dominate they lose to China simple as that.\nThey cannot dominate, by bullying long term friends and allies and cosying upto dictators.\nMaybe they have decided if you can’t beat them then join them!

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!
