Queen Donald is just pissy because these countries are not bowing to Kiss the Ring like Republican senators in congress people are it's really pathetic and sad and it just shows how much of a coward Queen Donald really is because he won't dare talk to China or Russia that way

Im sorry Trudeau may be the worlds biggest moron, why he isnt the prime minister shortly and we are working with russia for peace, dude is such a moron

The Canadian tariffs imposed on US goods, will hurt Canadian consumers, and US manufacturers. How does this help America? Secondly, it has been reported that Russia is funding the manufacturing of the illegal Fentanyl that gets smuggled into our country, and around the world. Finally, TRUMP IS NOT SMART!

From England …. What a true calm detailed and factual speech… a class act that stands above all the rubbish and lies coming out of the White House and the GOP. Republicans have no balls and they should all be impeached for appeasement with Russia… shame on America and up the Canadian European alliance .. long live freedom and democracy

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

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

These tariffs have nothing to do with Fentanyl. This is Trump trying to access Canadian resources for free- that Elon Musk needs for his businesses. This is Trump paying back Musk the millions of dollars Musk paid for the Presidency of the United States of Russia.

I thought trump was supposed to disembowel the left. Justin is looking heroic right now. Russia and China are the biggest benefuciries of this move. Who's side is trump on ?

Welcome to United States Of Russia :D

Trump is working for Russia that's why he's doing everything.

Embarrassing! Anyone regret voting for Trump and Vance, aka Dumb and Dumber? They're pro-Russia and will destroy America.

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?

25% tariff because of half an ounce of fentenyl, nope. All roads lead to russia. They have something major on him and are dictating what he has to do, and he does it.

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 ?

New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Europe must cease to share any intelligence with the US, otherwise it will be leaked to Russia.

It's about isolating China by befriending Russia. The enemy for Trump, is China.

Young Trudeau has forgotten more about running a country than Trump will ever know. I love Canada, the US is being corrupted by Russia.

I love my country but I absolutely don’t agree with this administration or this president. He is trying to destroy America just like Russia wants him and musk he won’t suffer we the people will suffer. He must like watching American people suffer. ?

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

As a Canadian I do not support this moron. I dont want him sending a dime or my son to fight Russia.

What will it take for you (USA) to wake up? You are being overtaken by Russia from within.

Trump is inspired by Mr Beast games strategy. If you cant do better than the toughest enemies, attack your nearest friends. China and Russia, and even India laugh at USA now. EU now is cornered from 3 sides at least. Mexico was the bread of Americans, think about it.

Trump you idiot…He rather take sanctions off Russia

Canadian here. This is not about fentanyl or immigration. It's seems to me about separating the world into zones of influence; Europe for Russia, Asia for China and the Americas for the US. Not a very attractive world to live in...

Europe, Kanada, South Amerika, China . Nice List of Friends of America. Ups, no , its Russia and NK . Country of Adipostias, pleas dont Import your Food anymore.

what if the true rationale behind this is that trump actually want to do more business whit russia. because you know who got lot of oil and gas to sell? that good russian friend of course

This makes sense. Trump has aligned with Putin. So why would we want to be friends with Canada. We have chosen Russia.

Isolationist America. No one will want to deal with the USA now. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, and the USA needed to go in a retake the oil ports, the USA didnt want to upset the Arabs, so needed a coalition, so asked NATO and other countries to help, I dont remember NATO sending a bill, or asking USA to sign over mineral rights. I also remember USA talking Ukraine into handing over their nuclear weapons to Russia, in exchange for protection, wow so much for that promise. If the USA is stuck for money, why dont they go back to Iraq, and take back the 80 billion dollars worth of equipment they just left on the tarmac when they ran away in the middle of the night.

Are American's aware of the living standards of your new allies (Russia, Belarus, North Korea, etc) ?

Why does he talk to trump as if he were an ally of Canada? It should have become clear by now that trump is an agent of Russia. Putin’s puppet. Trump is carrying out Russian instructions.

Notice how Canadians react to just tariffs, but Ukraine was forced to endure and do “diplomacy” with Russia for years after they literally invaded Ukraine in 2014

The people of canada can't even afford housing there. Trudeau has ruined the country,his approval ratings reflect this. America doesnt have any reason to fund a proxy war against Russia either. all you people have been brainwashed against the Trump administradion. FDR wasn't even going to get us involved in WW2, remember isolationism? we need more of that to cut back our military budget people

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

Russia is not the problem, the United States terrorists are.

THE UNITED STATES OF RUSSIA. BYE BYE FROM THE EU AND UK

Now that Russia is in taters, they want a ceasefire. The war was justified as long as Russia was winning? Ukraine has gained its advantage through great ingenuity and sacrifice. This is not the time to stop against the aggressor. Should the allies have stopped against Hitler? Look at Germany and Japan today. The victory will have plenty of investment opportunities to recoup their money. This is what the whole war is about!

Make Russia Great Again

The USA is now aligned with Russia and other dictatorships. It’s a real worry for Canada.

F Russia. F the Ukraine

As a Marine Corps Veteran, a die hard patriot to the USA, and as a Trump Supporter; I do not support this. We shouldn't Impose tariffs on one of our closest allies. It should also be stated I'm not a fan of Trudeau at all, but I commend him for helping out with the fentanyl situation. Also I don't like how Trump is Siding with Russia. However I do understand his stance on not wanting to continue to send Money to Ukraine to keep the war going on longer, As we have sent them Billions of Dollars in the last three years. However as a US citizen I also have to state the the US has a history of supporting countries that were invaded in the past, which we have done up to this point in Ukraine. Correct me if I'm Wrong, but when have we just stopped supporting the invaded country and sided with the Invading country?

and now russia is looking at canada, well played.

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

Impeach Trump. He’s clearly been bought by Russia

Everyone keeps saying this doesn't make any sense the only way this could possibly make sense is that Donald Trump has sold us out to Russia.\nDonald Trump is a Russian asset.

and ofcourse trump amde a deal not breaking it usa cant be a trusted country with trump how many contract has he broken and your coutyr will be too and tyhe world stage your russia now and no country will trust you and your not the leader of the free world anymore the one rule for that job YOU MUST BE A FREE WORLD

So, Forrest Trump is attacking America’s oldest allies, and siding with Russia. I’m going to build a bunker, and fill it with supplies.

Trump has allied us with Russia.

This was an impressive speech and chilling to the bone. People should understand the undertone that this already is the first stage of a war. America is not talking friendly anymore to Europe or Canada, the alliance is questionable now at best, treaties don't matter anymore and the US government openly supports and defends totalitarian regimes like in Russia. It's a dangerous path that has a point of no return somewhere along the way. It is absolutely the time to be very worried and alert.

America has switched sides & is with Russia & North Korea. Basically that's what's happened unfortunately. France should ask for the Statue of Liberty back.

His comments are well taken to heart.But for this administration to side with Putin / Russia is plain wrong.
