Thank Mr. Trump for this disaster and its insulting attitude toward our friend and ally Canada….this is who we voted into office…..a sad day in US history! Trump acts on impulse ….on almost everything….no thought process…..no discussion with his “Yes” cabinet of puppets who rubber stamps everything Trump wants. The Prime Minister is spot on…..but Mr. Trump is unable and unwilling to act like an adult.

I keep waiting for people to grasp what Trump is actually doing, but everybody keeps following the bouncing ball.\n\nTrump only cares about getting richer and getting away with it. \n\nFacts: Dismantle government agencies who can oppose his crimes\n\nFire employees who can stop him from his crimes\n\nMisdirecting to continue his crimes.\n\nDistancing the U.S. from NATO Allie’s and siding with China, North Korea, and Russia.\n\nTariffs to tank the stock market, making predictable decline in stocks for massive profit from buying PUT options.\n\nWanting to remove any oversight in his or Elon’s (his tech genius) actions.\n\nHe literally stated he wanted to “look at Fort Knox to account for any gold missing. (He will fire those in charge to allow whoever to go in WITHOUT oversight to steal gold. Then state yep, there was missing gold, go see for yourself.\n\nHe already had Elon dipping into our treasury.\n\nHe got rid of the employees / agencies that oversee election security. Why? To keep eyes off of screwing people out of fair and equal future elections. Guarantee he will change the constitution with his majority party and executive order to throw out 2 term rule. This way he can stay in power and avoid ever facing sentencing for his crimes.\n\nI can keep going on, bottom line, Trump is a traitor to America and what do we do with those who commit treason? Figure it out.

Nice words. Allied? Maybe some years ago

Canadians and americans fought in wars together standed side by side and now trumps going to ruin the history between two allies just sad

As Americans we are with the allied countries against this coward trump. Money drives ego

First Ukraine, now Canada. As an American, I’m embarrassed. We’re bullying our allies while chumming up with the KGB ??‍♂️

From Washington State: We have far more allies in Canada than we do from our own Federal government. This trade war is disguising.

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

Fight USA ally's, weakness the economy this is a Russia plan

Every leader of the free world needs to tell trdumps like it is. Putin owns trdumps and he is turning the USA over to his puppet master dictator murderous thug so take care of yourselves allies because this is exactly what Putin has wanted forever

As a friend and ally? Trudeau? Really? Hahaha

Canada should intensify their affiliation to europe. The US is sliding into an autocracy, and their government can’t be trusted any longer. They align themselves with Russia, north Korea and China, and they are willing to throw their former friends and allies under the bus to please their new „partners“. Together we need to stand shoulder by sholder and strong against this new axis of evil. Desperate times need good friends to stay even closer. Stay strong Canada, we have your back! ?? ???

We are with you Trudeau. We need our true American allies to rise up and get Trump out asap!! The White house is ruining America , the people and the World got their own self gain. Meanwhile Katy Perry is going into space or the oscars are going on . Ypu could not make it up.

We stand with you Prime Minister Trudeau - this is all about Trump he is un-American and a complete disgrace. He is trying to hurt all Americans and our Allies

I am ashamed of our corrupt government and the magat cultists who helped put them back in power. I hope you're all so happy.. things are just grand ?\n True Americans stand strong with our brothers and sisters, our allies around the world! ??We will NOT stop fighting! FDJT FDJT FDJT!

anyone figure out yet that Russia would love for the EU to approach them along with Ukraine with a truce proposal without US involved so that Trump looks like a problem... and separates us from our long term allies looking like people you cant trust. \n \nthe great deal maker is being played by putin. \n \nhe has divided the alliance, and now has singled out USA as outside the circle. This president is driving us into the dirt.

I can’t believe my president allies with dictator Putin instead of NATO

So trump/america destroys it's friendship/trade with all it's allies to suck up to a Russian dictator?please make it make sense please!!!!also...never thought i would ever agree with anything Justin trudeau said but hey his definitely right on this one?

Friends and allies don’t screw their neighbors with massive trade deficits. Equal is equal. Deficit is deficit. Words have meanings.

It really says something when you back stab your ally for no reason. I'm so embarrassed to be an American. ?

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

What an epic betrayal by an ignorant and arrogant US nation. Ungrateful to its greatest ally that dies for you in your wars. Pathetic america.. pathetic!

From UK: admire this gentleman you can do lots with EU and allies.. Business people can’t afford democracy and mentality of their country but instead they always searching for Money Money Money ??? lol

Canadians should stop lamenting over small things. Canada and USA are allies, but not twins and decisions taken by the US are to protect the US citizens and the US economy. If you are not happy, do the same, protect your country and your economy and stop crying. ????

It ain't good to start this issues,we must focus in bringing global peace,this wars are too much,the trade wars gonna hurt families,unemployment is gonna hike up.The two leaders need to sit down and solve their issues as allies.

For Trumps agenda, people don't matter. Allies don't matter. He wants to weaken Canada, Mexico, Europe, so oligarchs can gain global control and divide up the spoils. People need to see the big picture through trumps and putin's eyes. Putin must be drooling at this point.

Never seen a leader or President have a speech for another country to its citizens , You can tell the rats are scared and backed into a corner . Fear mongering American citizens will not help your country . Do your share and do your job and none of this will happen to any American or Canadian citizens . Right now the only ally you have is CNN . The most fear mongering net work on the planet , Which is not worth bragging about . They will be bankrupt soon with all the lawsuits they are losing .

Trump is a dictator unfortunately the Americans are going to feel the pinch because of his poor decisions. What kind of president does this to friends and allies?

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

Trump is in love with Putin, a new US ally and the next trade partner.???

The world stands with Canada. America under Trump is no longer a friend or ally. I feel for the moderate Americans having to live alongside the MAGA lunatics.

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

Who would have thought AMERICA being the first to surrender. I'm in complete shock how they have stabbed Ukraine in the back and let its allies down. Democracy is dead in USA.

As a Canadian, I'd like to thank the Americans that stand with us as allies. We love you and stand with you in your fight as well.

As an American I feel the deepest shame for everything that this administration is doing to our allies, to our neighbors, to Ukraine and to our own people. ?\nI did NOT vote for the current Administration!!

European allys will go with USA and dump you Canada ?

Today America is the most powerful nation on earth. However, the path America is on may lead to the degradation of that position. America may self isolate herself by alienating allies. If America doesn't want to lead the free world, another power may emerge to take America 's place.

Why are we alienating every ally we have? This isn't who we are.

No one wins in Tariffs, its a tit for tat. Trump fail to understand his bully boy tactics only work on the vurnable. Countries dont pay this tax consumers do. Tariffs hurt the consumers with high prices and people jobs. US is alienating themselves and there allies will turn away towards other friendlier nations.

Trump, you created this scenario. Why are we fighting with one of our closest allies? Everything that is happening with the current administration points to collaboration with Russia. WTF. Russia is NOT our friend. So one has to wonder why Trump is cozying up with them? What kind of kompromat do they have over him? How many within the administration are paid by Russia?

no doubts the guy in white house is a russian agent . ignorants who elected him are watching damages with allies

Yes I think that is a dumb thing done by one person abondoning and hurting allies and friend.

Yes I think that is a dumb thing done by one person abondoning and hurting allies and friend.

Trump thinks his Poo-thing will give him resources, lost from our allies. Russia ain't got crap for their own people - like they're going to give the US, a damn thing ?

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

This is not an American Govt. It's a Maga Govt. Bought and paid for by corrupt billionaires who will one day pay a price for their crimes against America. 70% of us stand with our allies.

My president does not speak for me, or a lot of us Americans. I stand by Canadians, Ya'll our closet allies and fiends. \nOur president is hurting us an our best neighbor, its just sad

The best and the worst thing about Trump is that he polarizes people. Watching the world react to how he treats Ukraine, his trade wars, as well as threats to violently steal land from allies, really lets true leaders shine! ?

Prices are going up. Stocks are down. Allies are hurt. Putin is happy. Ukraine is falling. The world is laughing at America. Thanks Donald.

The question that needs to be asked is what’s Trump’s moneymaking angle on imposing tariffs. Trump only does stuff where he personally can make money. Somebody or some group or entity is paying him somehow to impose tariffs on America’s main trading partner and ally. That’s the only way this makes any sense.
