The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

The whole world watched live, when Trump lost his shit with President Zelensky the moment when VP VANCE started his attack on Zelensky by saying he hasn't said thankyou to America ,which is an absolute lie.\nAmericans are asking if President Trump is a Russian asset.\nTrump is 100 % a RUSSIAN ASSET . TRUMP WON HIS SECOND TERM BECAUSE ELON MUSK BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT.\nBOTTOM LINE TRUMP IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY MUSK AND OWNED BY RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN.\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND DESERVES A TRAITORS SENTENCE.\nTrump is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN.

Oh, you made your choice when you went and sat with all those Europeans that supported Zelensky

Canadians are smart enough not to waste our time seeking any reasonable discourse or mutual respect from lying welchers like Donald Jackass Trump. Same reason Zelensky won't waste his time seeking a ceasefire agreement with Vladimir Putin.

Canada chose Zelensky conn! ? will follow ?

While a belligerent Atlanticist imperialism is becoming a thing of the past, in the meantime; asserting that Zelensky does not want peace and thereby implying that America does want peace is classic Trump spin. What America really wants is victory over Russia and eventually China. Having failed against Russia using Ukraine as it's proxy army, a Trump administration discards Zelensky's Ukraine while cleverly deceiving most observers that Zelensky is the only one interested in continuing the war. Contemporary Atlanticist imperialism in the form of a Tump administration is deliberately and deceptively stepping back from it's Ukraine project to prepare it's next - albeit doomed to fail; project aimed at victory over Russia and eventually China.

I stand with America. I live here. I am American. Ukraine Zelensky wants a forever war. I do not stand for forever wars. Fetynal synthetic is deadly and killing many Americans. Facts!

President zelensky is ready to sign a deal on the rare earth minerals, and Trump has stopped aid to Ukraine how terrible is that the country is fighting for its survival so trump this is on you , you own the deaths of the Ukrainian people , from bonny Scotland we support Ukraine

Is Zelensky crawling back to kiss Trump's ring?? I heard he was. Y'all better stand up to evil politics instead of bending over.\n\nUS extorting resources from their ally = colonialism.

The lying murderous dictator is Trudeau and Zelenski. As a Canadian I can say Trump owes us nothing. Our clowns in government disrespected America and this is what it is. They will only use the tariffs to screw us. Trumps will help America.

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

As an American, I am embarrassed by our leadership. Presidents like Trudeau and Zelensky are men to look up to. They may not be perfect, but they remain strong and confident in the face of the tyranny of Trump and Putin. I live an hour from the Canadian border, and they have been nothing but kind and amazing every time I've ever visited. My support is with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. It is a dark and embarrassing time to be an American.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

People need to understand that the damage and fallout that will certainly come from all of the things that Donald Trump is doing is intentional. \nTrump's efforts to weaken NATO, destroying our relationships with our long-standing Western European allies, creating friction and distrust with our border countries of Canada and Mexico, taking a wrecking ball to all of our governmental institutions that hold this country together, sowing a lot of hatred and distrust among American citizens along racial and ethnic lines, using tariffs to destroy the American economy, efforts to cause Americans to lose trust in our courts, justice and Healthcare systems, trying to Villianize Zelensky of Ukraine while praising the dictator from Russia, is all part of a plan to weaken or maybe even destroy our country and to allow Russia to rise.\nIt is painfully obvious that Donald Trump is an agent for Vladimir Putin and Russia against the United States, Ukraine and the democracies of Europe. \nDonald Trump is a traitor! The Republicans in Congress need to do their jobs and remove him from office ASAP!

Ohh CNN shows Trudeau that have the courage to contradict Trump while CNN anchors themselves are too spinless to give ONE opinion about the blatant lies he tells and even insinuate Zelensky should be to blame.\nKudos to Trudeau, shame on CNN.

The tariffs are on all countries importing into the U.S. \nYou either build in the U.S. or have higher tariffs, it’s a strategy to build more business and jobs in the U.S. \nFixing the U.S. economy that is $36 TRILLION in Debt, while cutting off foolish spending in USAID. Do you have a problem with that?\n\nThe decision to befriend Russia is not cause Trump is pro-Putin, but to end a war Zelenskyy wants to continue for years, an utterly unnecessary war where thousands are dying for no reason, and billions spent on war when you can spend it on building up the economy (we already gave Zelensky 300 BILLION of our taxpayer money and Ukraine isn’t winning). The goal is to end unnecessary dying and to prevent WW3 nukes flying. Only complete fools think playing games with NUKES is a good idea, pointing a finger at you NATO!\n\nWhen NUKES fly, we are literally f…..ed!!!!

What a prick. Acting like putin is a criminal and dupporting that teprobate killer zelensky. Outrageous. And outrageous trying to pretend the US is evil. Go ahead canada, kiss his butt. The US will dirvive better than canada. And hes trying to subvert the US citizen. But he doesnt want to do crap about the border. His own nayives suffer kidnaping for himan trafficking constantly. \nTrudeau is a woke lefty and a little tyrant. We arent hust talking fentanyl here castro jr.

Fuck you Trump..... Respect to Mr Zelensky and PM JUSTİN TRUDEAU ❤❤❤

THIS is how you address Trump and his administration, not only addressing the trade war but directly saying that Trump has sided with Putin and Russia. \nDiplomacy went out the window when Trump and Vance attacked Zelensky in the people’s house. Diplomacy went out the window when Trump blamed Zelensky for the war in Ukraine and called him a “dictator”

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I hope all the Maganuts and die-hard Republicans that bend a knee to a despicable wannabe tyrant Commander in Cheats, who only shines in one color, Orange, feel the pain of voting for a liar and cheat when these stupid tariffs come stumbling down on businesses that support EL Pendejo. This piece of Dongbeetle fodder does not represent all Americans, and for that, I wholeheartedly apologize to our Canadian friends. Our elected buffoon wants every one to kiss his feet like his hand picked minions, unlike Zelensky, who told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

Thats why there must not make any deal with Trump, anymore because he's a lier and stabs you in the back after he gets what he wanted, and hes also going to do that with zelenski as soon zelenski is signing a deal......he can't be trusted !!!!!!

As someone from the Netherlands, I wish our former prime minister and current NATO leader Rutte responded in a similar way to Trudeau. He was always a true politicians' politician, but the way he stood with the US right after the horrible treatment of Zelensky was a new low. If the majority of US allies responded in a firm manner the way Trudeau just did, it might be enough to scare some Republicans into doing the right thing.

We all know that Trudeau is not even welcomed from Canadians. Another Zelensky clown ?

Why is the governor of Canada talking to the American people ????\nAnother Zelensky.

This guy on camera father day fornicating with Zelensky pluming his feathers to continue war he among others is cheerleading. He's a non-player.

Trudeau and Zelensky two real leaders

Tredeau and Zelenski are brothers. They both need US dollars to exist. If we quit feeding them will they go away??

Between Friday's disaster with Zelensky and today's imposition of tariffs on Canada, the evidence is clear. Trump's America has joined Russia in an alliance intended to demolish the world's democracies.

The clown prime minister trudeau sounds like zelensky with his fear mongering feel fear americans. Canada has maid, america under trump is pro life. I fear maid in ??healthcare most.

Trump belittles Zelensky our ally calling him a dictator, saying he started the war three years ago. He belittles our ally Trudeau by calling him governor. This is wrong. I'm sorry Canada. This is no way to treat an ally.

Trudeau is a puppet just like Zelensky

Trudeau is a puppet just like Zelensky

Zelensky, take a leaf out of Trudeau's book. Stop trying to appease Rump, a bloke who hates you. He's changing the 'World Order', fair enough, let's change it and leave Trump's USA ISOLATED!

One specific American ‘Donald’ ?How patronizing can you get President Trudeau.He sounds all big calling President Trump ‘Donald’. How fake he is , I bet he stood for hours infront of the mirror practice that delivery ?.. Let’s see how this disrespect works for him. Same as it worked for Zelensky .. He’ll be ordering humble pie after that. TRUMP won’t be mocked.

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

Canada is a 51st state, I can Trudeau has to come to relaity. He is no more the PM. Trump has told don't want to work with u why are u begging same as zelensky

Time to QUIT BOY and let the Conservatives REPAIR what you've damaged the last 10 years!!!\nJustin made the same mistake as dictator ZELENSKY did a few days ago...LEFTIST/ SOROS/ GLOBALIST POLITICAL CRIME GANG PUPPETS ARE FIGHTING THEIR LAST BATTLE ???

We haven't forgotten what you did to your own people in 2021 or what you did last weekend running off to Europe for a powwow with zelensky undermining and spitting in our face! I thought you were going to resign !? Your a communist fool

Honestly, I can totally understand the actions of Trump and JD in their last interview with Zelensky but these tariffs against Mexico and Canada is something I don't get it all! Trump should be getting as many allies as possible in such trouble times.

Zelensky you don’t have a leg to stand on.. You should have made the boarder and drugs coming into America more of a priority…! Now you will be tariffed until you comply! Simple! It’s going to hurt your country more than ours he knows this and now is panicking!!

Very hood Mr Trudeau you and your country are a blessing to Ukraine ?? president Zelensky, come on NZ government support and protec Ukraine ?? from tyrant's.

Watching here from Canada, originally from the Philippines, I am so proud of our Prime Minister Juatin Trudeau, person with sense, compassion, articulate, and mostly a Good Person, with President Zelensky not a Dictator One. God Bless.

TRUmp is simply charging the same tariff that they are charging America. It’s called fair trade and FairPlay to trump. He’s saying you charge me a dollar I charge you a dollar. Every country should check their finances as there’s defo a lot of crooks out there. Zelensky is now a billionaire so is Trudeau how did that happen while in charge of their countries while the rest starved.

In Europe, we feel exactly the same. This administration's loyalties lie along their confiscated party lines, and they are not for the American people despite their domestic narrative.\nThey are really the enemy from within for the US. Siding with US enemies, disrespecting Americans who don't share their views, allies and even poor Zelensky who's an actual patriot.\nIf they think they can fight the entire world and win, or that the world will bow to their attitude and demands on things that are not their concerns, they're dumber than we knew they are.

Can't Americans realise what an intelligent and well spoken speech looks like, what it should always look like from our leaders?\n\nTrump can't even read a letter from King Charles; he's completely incompetent and unintelligible. They knew this before they elected him. Every speech he ever gave was embarrassingly awful.\n\nAnd now, less than 50 days into his presidency he has sided with Putin, betrayed Zelenski, and attacked all his partners around the world.

I voted for Trump and a lot of his policies and actions I agree with, THIS one I do not, Canada did not let in NEARLY as many illegal immigrants as Mexico so it makes no sense why he is punishing them, and he isn't, he just doesn't like Trudeau probably because he was friends or friendly with Biden, same with Zelensky AND Canada wanted to ban products from red states for electing him which is frankly just a stupid policy. \nThis is not hard to figure out, Trump doesn't like Trudeau and Ford, plain and simple......it really is THAT shallow, he is trolling Trudeau by calling them the 51st state and anyone know knows Trump and how he thinks knows that.

Trump would lose in any boxing match. Ask him to box it out. Trump would definitely loose. Zelensky would knock his ass out in the first round. God bless Canada and Ukraine. We love you

It does make sense. MAGA views the EU and Canada as woke. They like Russia because it is anti-woke and religious. They feel like Ukraine and Zelensky have sided with the Democracts. It is that simple.

Trudeau and Zelenski both have nothing to loose politically so they choose to talk in this manner. \nChina is coming after U.S. and if U.S. doesnt put america first then NATO or EU is meaningless.\nYes in a short run, americans will get hurt, but in the long run, more and more companies will open their manufacturing centers in U.S. to avoid then tariff, which will create more jobs in the future.
