It takes a very evil person to try and turn Canada into an enemy while turning Russia into an ally.

Trump trying to break up nato

Donald is not a smart guy doing a dumb thing, he’s a dumb guy trying to do a smart thing…nothing yet

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

I have never been so ashamed to be an American ? It’s like Trump is trying to hurt as many innocent people as he can. He is abusing nice people like the Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau. He is hurtful to the Mexicans and immigrants as well. I was so angry with the way the Trump administration ganged up on and bullied the nice, strong Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. I loathe the Trump administration. Trudeau and Zelenskyy are vastly superior to Trump and everyone in his administration.

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

Sorry Canada for the idiocy of our @$$ hole president. I agree with Trudeau's speech, but sadly he doesn't realize he is talking reasonably to a man who is a psychopath and does not care about what is right. He is trying to become a dictator and has no sense of reason

Dump was trying to end nato last time in office. He trying for the new world order! Even Russia and China making friends. Brut they elected him

Well that’s stupid why try to tax up additional 25 percent now they will be sad IF TRUMP SAID YEAH NO MORE no more subsidies or military protection what would they do ?

Trump knows America is in trouble. Trying to blame other countries

The word is Trump is trying to force Mexico and Canada to sign a blanket tariff against Mexico and these tariffs are his way to muscle them to join US.

Just so it's known but America has never been self-sufficient. We have always been reliant on others with good trade and fairness towards each other. My grandparents went through ww2 and had to go through rations on everything from gas, oil to food and tires. You got a book for everything and had to tear them out to get your products. They said back 1943 they had to keep the farm and barely made it to vday. You all need to look at history and research things. These Republicans and president is gonna ruin farms and cost people to the point they will have to choose their meds or food. Never in my wildest imagination did I think we could have sunk so low and loosing allies and gaining a dictator that was a known Assassin and removed voting in Russia and here we have a guy in charge trying to imitate him. I guess criminals stick together

Justin Trudeau is part of the global Cabal!!\nOf course he's going to try to destroy Trumps United States of America

Trump isn’t smart! He’s a shady narcissist !! He’s trying to destroy America from within. Right wing propaganda. Siding with RUSSIA, fighting with our countries near us. Shame full

The guys on the way out it’s all talk, the new guy will make a deal. Very easy to be tough when you’ll be gone in days like CNN admitted. This is his you didn’t fire me I quit type speech. Trying to spin narrative with the last chance he has

Why is this guy trying to make people afraid? Sounds like he is the one who is worried. Id rather have Chip production here in the US than his assurance.

Lmao! he thinks we are worried we'll get hurt! That is funny. Try crossing our border with a gun and we'll find out who gets hurt.

Lol this guy is a joke, trump will make America great again! Halirious how Treadu is trying to make american fearful of the tarrifs. Its no pain, no gain. America will support their own and will supercede all countries in growth.

99% of Fentanyl is from the Southwest border, 1% from Canada. No Folks, this is not about that. This is about trying to break down Canada economically and steal money and resources from Canada. The US president will NEVER have war approval on Canada through congressional approval and the US is so divided that the army would not cooperate anyways.

Let's make it make sense. Donald Trump is trying to hand America to Putin the best way he can. The country United States is ran by Soviet Union Russian agents!

This guy sucks. He do want I now what Americans want. We are tried of our first 3 day a of the work week goes to other countries who are now acting like brats

He still is the leader of a corrupt liberal party, Canadians don’t let this spoof be our leader , remember all of the corruption his government is trying to cover up

The dictator TRUMP IS TRYING TO BRAKE CANDA…to try to take over in the future??? Trump is a know-it-all men! Pride precedes a fall?

Canadians fought and died with the U.S. in both world wars and Iraq, bailed us out in many natural disasters including both sets of recent California wildfires, and spent billions trying to improve their relationship with America… and this is how Trump supposed to repay them? Allies indeed.

From UK , Trump and Vance should be forced out of their jobs as are not fit for purpose . Terrible what they are playing at , Trump is easily taken in with Putin he wants Trump himself to be a Dictator just alike his pal , his hero Putin \nPutin he is a mass murderer and wanted for war crimes also .\nEvil man Putin and trump just what does he see in him . Both as said Trump and Vance should be taken out of their jobs \nforced if need be . Trump sais he is trying to stop a war in Ukraine ? Seems to me he has not \nSeems so far as i type he talks bull , and just after the rare minerals in the Ukraine . The mans not fit for the job within \nand needs removed along with his co habs Vance and the other idiot stood behind them in that room .\nTreated Zelensky terribly also in that room a set up against him it was ..Americans get rid of them guys somehow .\n\nCanada all the best .

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

Our rich government is trying to break the middle class in America and have someone else to blame for it

Let's all remind you Trump haters out there, he's trying to undo the terrible jod Biden did with his disastrous term. Wake up u tards.

trump is just trying to trash the canadian economy so he can make it the 51st state....he trying to be like his hero named putin

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

Im from Texas. I have never agreed with the policies of Trump. I'll gladly be on the front lines with Canada.\n\nOur country has not only failed us, but the American people that call themselves American. We have turned into a bigger facist nation than Russia. At least some of them go missing for trying to whistle blow on an international level. Meanwhile, we cry to each other internally as if anyone has the balls to stand up

Trump thinks he can win in a trade war. Trump is a buffoon. Sorry Canada and Europe Trump is busy trying to appease Putin.

Yes Canada! \n\n7:16 Donald ?\n\nSeems Donald is trying to make a new friend Putin (can't he see that Putin's laughing?)

Maybe America just doesn’t wanna be screwed over on everything they are just trying to make things fair and get Canada to do their part and have some patriotism seems like it’s working. And perhaps a little respect and gratitude would be in order instead of BS moral high ground and socialism.

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Is trump trying to piss off all our allies so they all break away from the US so he can use that ad a reason why he has to join with Russia?

Trump's so called art of deal is backfiring tremendously and the one who suffers are people like us who are only trying to get by

What is the purpose of showing PM Trudeau in his press conference if we can't hear him? These CNN commentators are paraphrasing endlessly what he said, while cutting off his voice. Are we so dumb that we have to be served a rehash while being deprived of the real thing? \n Maybe CNN is trying to explain things to MAGA voters; why the effort? They would'nt watch CNN anyway!

A prolonged trade war with Canada will will smash the US economy. A prolonged trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and Europe, will END the US economy.\n\nPS: Dear Americans, your President is trying to ruin the market value of your country so him and his friends can buy it on the cheap...

He's not appeasing putin. He's trying to stop people from dying. Respecting the agreement to not put nato in the Ukraine, is basically living up to your word. The borders go back to where they were at 2014. I believe that's a fair deal and will stop 2,200 people from dying every single day. You guys are praising this crap Zolenesky spews... while everybody in the Ukraine has lost their sons. And now they are grabbing old men off the street literally while walking their dog and making them soldiers.

He is trying to reign in all America's money and pocket and move over sea. Watch his net worth sky rocket

To our Canadian friends, Most people in the USA are good people, some are being misled and brainwashed by Maga trash. Mother Nature needs to hurry up...; I honestly don't understand how people can fear such weak minded freak. Zelenskyy can see this, reason why he did not back down. If a person tries to lie to my face, I will call it out. I don't give a fudge who they are.

As a Brazilian, i don't know why Canadians are still trying tho deal with America. It's clearly not a democratic government. Brazil and Canada has dealt for so long, it's time to increase this. Brazil is part of BRICS countries, but it doesn't mean it's not democrat. Why Canadians keep thinking about EU and EUA? So many things have happened and Brazil is now a strong partner. We support Canada against this betray of USA. We have been considered as USA backyard. But that is past. We did it, and now we are strong. Canada needs to open it's eyes to some other better future.

What Trump is trying to do is have Mexican and Canadian companies pack up and move to the the USA. Hopefully all beer manufacturing will move to the USA.

We’re the reason the Geneva convention keeps getting longer. Go on, Donnie, try us. \n\nTo the American people: sorry. You elected the wrong guy.

Hey Canada, we share your values in Europe, I think it's about time we get closer together and ditch the big bully by now. There is nothing to gain trying to appease a wannabe dictator

Its just roughly 2 mos. since the inauguration and this guy ,trump,is \ndictating and trying to rule the world.He is greedy of the power.

Trump is trying to break our alliances for Putin
