Let us speak directly right back at you Canadians, both yr government and ppl, we don;t want this either, we Americans don't back TRUMP AT ALL. We are ashamed and we are embarrassed by everything DT does. We appreciate Canada, always have. Everything he does is in his interest, not ours, not yours, only his. He does NOT represent the will of the American ppl. Our apologies. Help us stop him! We respect you and do NOT want you as the 51st state of America, that's all him. Long live, Canada!

I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

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.

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.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for your calm and honest words that Trump is out of control and obviously more interested in kowtowing to Putin than preserving our relationship with our allies.

Trump should be impeached for failing to act in the best interest of America. How long will we wait? Will we wait until we have bread lines and gas lines? Or maybe we will wait until there is a total economic collapse.

If you ever tough that Trump is interested in building bridges, keep agreements, or care about you, you are a fool.

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Trump is practicing the business of the fist. He tries to hide his incompetence throwing the guiltiness on allies. You really have to ask yourself if this idiot works for the interest of America or against.

Interesting. So it sounds like Canada just started last year with stopping drugs from coming over the border...remind me, how long have drugs been coming across? Bluff called, Canada, you were abusing the United States, until Trump came around...shame on you, too late. And like he said, this will be tough. But drugs stay out, child trafficking stays out.

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.

Trump is 78 yrs old, has no possibility to run again and is adopting a scorched earth policy dictated by his massive ego. He doesn't care what the news is as long as he's the headline. He has zero interest in the lives of ordinary Americans, his only interest is his lining his pockets and those of his close circle of family and friends. The American public is allowing this to happen.

America is in good hands. In God we trust. He is doing a great job through Trump. Darkness does not like the light therefore it lies, manipulates, controls, and twists the best interest Trump has for America and her people first. Gods will be done for the USA though President Trump. According to God's will and plans.

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

President Trump is making moves in the best interest of America. Canada when you control the entry of phentonol to the US than we can talk. President Trump has said he going to protect Americans from dying from phentonol and thats what hes doing. Bye Canada you need us .. we dont need you!

The reason trump isn’t interested in the minerals in Canada is because he wants to give Ukrainian mineral to Russia

what can you do, he trump all reason, all logic, all cooperation between countries, he trump global peace, he trump safety, he trump what the world has been working on since ww2, he trump humanity, he trump everyone who disagree with him, and he trump the interests of america!

I never voted for this group of freaks, President musk is out of control, his aid and Colluder, Donald Trump and the Joker JD Vance their personal interest at heart and their own pockets, trillionaire their friends out and screw the rest of us for the people who voted for him in the United States. You also will be affected a man born a privilege and wealth had your back.

This idiotic game by the Trump-Vance gang only makes sense if they are in fact (hidden behind the pseudo-nationalist MAGA nonsense) working for Putin. And if they want to destroy our Western democracies, also in the interests of Putin. And China is the laughing third party.

Trump wasnt interested in Canadian minerals.\nHe doesn't know.

Trumps likes to speak over people because he always wants the final say he not interested what people have to say he wants people to shut up and obey his orders

But if POTUS is actually a covert enemy to the U.S. then he will continue doing what opposes the country's interests, surely? Like, I'm not convinced Trump isn't following orders from Russia. Putin and his allies have never been happier, that's all I'm saying.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Trump's agenda:\n1. Destroy public institutions to place my followers and enrich my billionaire brothers. \n2.Ban all journalists who ask uncomfortable questions.\n3. Destroy our friends and allies.\n4. Protect killers' and dictators' interests.\n5. Make a great party with porn actresses and dance over ucranian and gaza citizens' bodies.

Interesting how Trudeau talks about how he will do whatever he can to make it easier for his people in Canada ha ha ha ha ha no mention of that from Trump!

Trump said he would cap credit card interest rates to 10%. Funny how he hasn’t done that only grifting by launching crypto scams, removed joe Biden’s executive order that protected consumers from absurd overdraft fees. Even if Trump burns the country down the conservatives will blame Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden and not their side. It’s like a narcissistic party that thinks they are always right and never wrong.

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Pres Trump is very ruthless. He doesnt care about anyone at all. He sees weakness and take advantage and make good deals out of it. Ukraine is a clear example. After Ukraine he will make a good deal with Russia as they also have weaknesses... Trump is not interested in wars as that brings a huge cost ...

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

Trudeau is not that popular in Canada, but he is one thing,he's not Trump.He cares about Canadians, and our Sovereignty. Trump has sold out Americans to Russia, and is president only to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself from the position. He has no interest in the American people, only in revenge for supposed flights to him by just about everyone, as he is a petulant child.

This guy's has taxed the idiot Canadians up the ass. Keep jacking up the tarrifs trump and teach them a lesson. And I am not interested in anything this loser says.

This person (I cannot call him a man) was a drama teacher before becoming a politician. He's as narcissistic and self absorbed as Trump is. He's worn blackface, has had multiple conflict of interest cases brought against him, claims he's a feminist, but he's treated female ministers disrespectfully...he had to leave his teaching job because he had an inappropriate relationship with a student ......the list goes on! As a drama teacher he can put up a fake front, but he's the same as Trump in every way.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

Only people who stand with Trump are those too stupid to stop supporting things that are against their best interest.. Or the filthy rich.

This is the old and sad Trump tactics. In one month Trump will say that he is willing to stop the tariffs if Mexico and Canada are interested in renegotiate the bad free trade agreement that some idiot signed 5 years ago. Oops, was that Trump?

We Canadian stand with the American people, and President Trump CARES AND PUT AMERICA INTEREST FIRST UNLIKE OUR DUMB PM TRUDEAU WHO IS STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE WE CANADIAN ARE TIRED OF HIS WOKE AGENDA AND WHOREMONGER SUPPORTING THE ONGOING WAR IN UKRAINE WASTING OUR TAX PAYRES MONEY AND THERE ARE LOT OF HOMELESS CANADIANS, FAMILIES WHO BARELY GET BY. TRUDEAU DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADIAN WE KNOWS THIS TO BE FACT BY HIS ACTION AND HOW HE RUN OUR PROSPEROUS COUNTRY INTO DEBT.

36 trillion in national debt. That’s over $100,000 debt for each American. This is why Trump is taking action. The U.S. is going to default on just the interest payments alone!!! Canadas national debt per Canadian is $35,000. \n\nIt’s time our politicians prepare for rainy days by building manufacturing for the raw resources rather then send them off to be sold back as products to us. We bring in wealthy immigrants that price out our Canadian born citizens trying to buy into the housing market while the tent cities grow. The Liberal party has failed us.

The Village Idiot, Trudeau, versus the City Idiot, Trump. This is going to get interesting.

Western world leaders need to recognise that Trump is only on the side of Putin and Co. and only interested in self - enrichment. Europe / Canada / Mexico / UK need to band together as an alternative 'power' and treat America as an enemy.

No one is interested in anything he is saying. The people just want to hear what the people are saying about all of this and not some hand in the money jar ? freak. People like him need to go. He is just another liar for his own benefit. Trump and his merry helpers are putting this right and exposing the trubble makers all over the world and their shitting them selfs so don’t listen too any of his/ there bull sh1t Because we the people don’t need people like this ???✊?

Am I dreaming or do we leave on a parallel world\nIt was not long ago I watched the handmaids tale I’m sure I saw jd Vance in there\nWhere is the USA going I am fed up with narcissists ruling our world they popping up everywhere and trump is the worst\nNow I did think that trump may have been the answer to peace not with Elon musk and jd Vance at the helm the real power trump on Friday looked week an old man losing his temper while the son Vance winding him up\nHe should have shut Vance down abit like the godfather with his son\nThe back lash shows that weather we like it or not live in a global world not a war one but an economical one\nSo where do we go well putin is the enemy to his own people I bet if you went round the world and asked young people families do they want to fight no of course not they wake up on morning go to work believe there god have good times where they can they just want fair governments to protect there interests Donald you have got this wrong big time

The scourge also that is russian propaganda and the ideals of the dictator Putin , trumps love interest

Harris voter here, you gotta do what you gotta do Canada. I don't know if I will make it through this but there are people out there in worse situations with more overtly oppressive governments, so I can't complain too much. The only thing I can do is hope that the breaking point is soon where those of us who don't hold contempt for compassion and intellect rise up and show the government that we have had enough. I have never wished misfortune upon another human being before, but Trump and Vance have blatantly shown that they are legitimately evil human beings with only their own interests in mind. They are not true Americans, because they don't care about America beyond exploiting it to their own benefit.

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

I just cried watching this. Trump is ripping up the worlds order in Rusias interest. Every FREE Nation will stand up tall against what currently comes from the U.S. Prayers go out to all the U.S. families, who will see it in their bank accounts & grocery prices by now. (Except the MAGA ones)

If you stop assuming Trump serves US interests, everything starts making perfect sense.

I do hope that Canada, EU and Britain will work together, there is no reason Britain and EU cannot replace America as the main trade partners and I have seen plenty of other videos about other asian countries indicating interest in Canada's trade.\n\nBut this is much more than just tariffs, Trump has really gone off the deepend siding with Russia and undermining Ukraine, even undermining the sanctions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is already trading with Russia, using whatever bizarre pretext he chooses.\n\nThese should already be red flags to Canada, there is a long standing relationship with the UK and Ukraine, but Canada is only reacting on the tariffs, which detracts from what other action they might have taken.\n\nThe imposition of these tariffs should be the straw that breaks the camels back, I hope that if America repeals these tariffs that Canada will still diversify so that they don't ever end up in this situation again.

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.
