As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??

Justin you realize this is all Trump wanted? You to get off your butt and be an ally like we need when youre the trade country that is our ally. You stepped up finally, goodjob

A breath of fresh air to hear a normal and caring leader speak instead of a narcistic, criminal, cowardly fraud like Trump.\nJustin we admire you in Europe?.\nI hope our leaders will work together and stand by Canada. The Canadians who liberated my country from the Nazis. We are still thankful for that.

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

We need to stop Trump doing this... he turn our country into something that we dont want!

Trump administration requires good economists rather than Musk. Hurting his own people , NATO countries and other countries by tarriff war, is act of creating many enemies simultaneously.

We don't need the USA, as a country we are untied. I think Trump has no idea what he is messing with

The tariffs are just the first step, Trump wants Canada to become a 51 country

Trump is literally turning everyone against him. Its only a matter of time when every single country turns on him.

Know that at least half of Americans do NOT support Trump or the Republicans choosing to ally with Putin and against our historical allies. We no longer are the champion of the Free World or protectors and defenders of democracy. Trump will shake down every country to give the 1% even more wealth. This is not sustainable.

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

As an American from Michigan, I Stand With Canada! Trump is despicable and an embarassment to our once great country.

No Freedom of Speech is No Friend of any human on earth, & Definitely no Friend of the American People. We Align with Trump. You are a communist, that has sold out your country to the chinese.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

It seems that Trump wants to destroy Western society at record speed. He feels closer to dictators and oligarchs than to our democracies. I believe he hates democracy and feels more comfortable siding with murderers and dictators. If no one stops him, this man could be responsible for the destruction of Europe, Canada, and even his own country.

I hope that those who blame russian civilians for not acting against dictator Putin will take actions against Trump in their country

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

Ya wanted a business man??? There you go Trump voters!!! Enjoy what comes next! You all have been warned by the DEI lady!! You all joined the disrespectful bs hate game with Trump by knocking her down! Now some of you are begging for our help!! You all are a disgraced to our country!!! ?

That was not harsh it was simply direct. Trump/ Vance Musk is ruining this country.

I am grateful for what the US has given me up until this point but now the idiotic Trump and his idiot followers are destroying a country I have grown up to love. Its time to leave and I encourage those that can to look at leaving the US. Canada, defend your economy and align with all the other nations in the world the US is in decline and will never be the same.

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country

We need young smart leaders like him to run this country of ours. US is in shambles. Hang our flag upside down until Trump gets out of office!!

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Do bussinus with the democratic countries left. The US under Trump left the group of democratic countries. Trump is not reliable and he is not a smart man, he is a greedy fascist and relations with fascist are always doomed......

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

Why is everyone tiptoeing around the real reason for these tariffs? Trump has made no secret of his true motivations. He wants to absorb Canada into the USA so he can exploit it's abundant natural resourses, redirect fresh water across the border and give their military free reign of the arctic regions of the country. Any and all other justifications and excuses he comes up with are little more than window dressings

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Congratulations America, welcome to the dawn of a new world for you where you will be isolated and shut out, all by your choice. 2025 will be the year the dictatorship of Trump and Musk was born and Trump is already talking about ruling beyond his final term. Yet the world will welcome American citizens who decide to leave their fledging dictatorship for countries who has real freedom.

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

It's Donald Trump vs the FREE WORLD. He already has the backing of all the Communist Countries!\nMAGA: Moscow Agent Governing America!\nhttps://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=trump+was+recruited+by+kgb+in+1987

WATCH AND SEE CHINA STEP UP AND BECOME THE LEADER AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. We used to have that title, but thanks to Trump we will go down as smart an embarrassment ?

“I am Canadian, and I support Trump because our leaders are a joke. They delay pipelines, restrict the open market, and refuse to trust foreign investment from China or overseas. Instead of strengthening the economy, they bring in a million immigrants while ignoring real growth. If we’re going to rely on America anyway, we should join it becoming the 51st state would make North America stronger.\nIf Canada retaliates against the U.S., it won’t be the government that suffers it’ll be us. Our leaders look weak and desperate. \nWith 25% tariffs, Canada is heading for economic disaster. Companies are moving to America, jobs are disappearing, and our future is at risk. Look at Europe 23 countries share the euro and open borders. We should do the same by becoming 51st state.\nIt’s time to negotiate with Trump and secure real benefits more businesses, better telecom, cheaper flights, lower food costs, affordable housing, a shared currency, and the right to bear arms. Canada would be stronger and wealthier as part of America.”?? ??????\nWe are still Canadians

WATCH AND SEE CHINA STEP UP AND BECOME THE LEADER AND MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. We used to have that title, but thanks to Trump we will go down as smart an embarrassment ?

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

Trump is insane and a complete narcissistic idiot. I am sorry my country is so lost that they would put this Putin puppet in office.

Trump must be impeached—he must leave his post. Vance must go as well. These people have no place in the American government. They are destroying the country, undermining democracy, and dismantling everything America stands for.\n\nThey support terrorism, justify putin, and enable murder. The only thing they care about is money and personal gain—human lives mean nothing to them.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

What I have loved most about the stupidity of Trump, his government and his supporters is that it has brought Europe and the commonwealth together. It’s made citizens of each country unite together at a time that there was so much division especially in Europe. People across the world boycotting the USA to show their, disgust, hit them where it hurts, supporting other business and bolstering our own economies, in doing so also supporting those Americans that did not vote for this. So much good coming from this.

Mr. Trump you don’t run a country like your business. Like Canada PM said it’s a dumb thing to do.

I am American, and Trump doesn't represent me. I support Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and any allied country this tyrannical American president attacks.

Tarrifs hurts the countries consumers nothing else. Big companies dont give a damn about your Tarrifs Trump, they just put it on the consumers and thats us. Good God man we had a dummy as President last year we dont need another dummy in the White House. These Tarrifs are stupid. ?

Donald Trumps foolish ignorance, narcissism, and room temperature IQ are going to kill our country.

Trump is an enemy of his own country and his allies. He must be removed from office before it is too late.

Trump supporters are not real Americans. They chose hate and racism over saving their own country This is not how you make America great. Nothing good will come from electing convicted felon and the wealthiest man on earth

Glad to see the positive comments from Americans, we don't want to be at odds with our friends. I've been to the states a few times and it is so sad what Trump has done to your country and your people. I hope those who have joined the maga cult can wake up and come home to the goodness of what America used to stand for.

WHY DID WE CHOOSE TRUMP? Why do we keep choosing a party that has NEVER shown they were for the people? And of course, we knew what Trump was going to do. He was already president and we said 'no more'. He told us what he was going to do, we knew he was going to do it but many said 'oh he's not serious'. If you voted for Trump, you voted for this. If you are a democrat and didn't vote for Kamala, or vote at all, you voted for this. You voted for higher prices, less benefits for regular people, bigger tax cuts for the rich and a larger national debt and the US no longer a leading country.

From the UK, we stand with Canada and the Ukraine. And to the American people, Trump is systematically destroying your economy and the values your country was built upon. Don't stand for it.

Relationships and trade deals will get stronger between Europe and Canada. \nUSA is isolating itself and becoming the baddies of the world. Trump and Musk are damaging the country so bad.

is not it open trade? USA can do whatever they want. Trump is doing it for his country. why do you talk it when it happens to only your country? They are doing the same thing to Iran, China and Russia for years. why did not talk like this when USA did same thing China and Russia and Iran. if they can do it to those countries, they will also do it to your country. What USA is doing to Russia, China and Iran for years is unjust and illegal. But as Canada you would not speak it out. If you do not talk about unjust, if you keep silent, that it would happens to you one day is inevitable. Speak for justice for everyone, not just for your country, dear Canada.
