Again, Putin pops a bottle of Champayne to celebrate Trumps actions against American allies.

I’m American and I stand with our allies!!!!

What an absolute embarrassment to the citizens of America Trump is. Generations of unity with its allies mean nothing to this walking Cheeto.

Canadian and American soldiers have fought and died together as allies from World War I to the War on Terror. It is disgusting what our government is doing to our closest allies.

As an American I stand in solidarity with Canada, this is not how you treat allies let alone close neighbors. There are no winners in trade wars, sadly a fact that seems to escape Trump.

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

I'm sorry, Canada. I don't have much, but tell me where I can help. We are the closest allies, and should be best of friends. Canda is beautiful, and the people are awesome, friendly and polite. I mean, Molson is not so good, but y'all are awesome. GOD BLESS CANADA. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES.

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.

If this is what you do to your allies, I pity his enemies.\nTrump & Vance must be removed from the Whitehouse.

From Indiana, I did not vote for Trump or trade wars and completely regret Trump's incompetent handling of relations with allies Ukraine and Canada.\nI have so much respect for the leadership of Canada and Ukraine. May God help us.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican allies should pay for this. Donald Trump can’t do this to Canada nor Mexico. I don’t want to pay higher prices. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. We Americans need to do more protests against Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

Ok MAGA… anyone able to answer him? Can any of you ‘make it make sense’? The cover of non-existent Canadian fent crisis is off the table. It’s horseshit and you know it. So please, explain why we’re abandoning every ally from North America to Europe and aligning ourselves with dictators and oligarchs whose open goal is our destruction… Sincere question: Why? Why is any of this the right thing for the USA? From the awful economic impacts to our impending utter isolation in the world, why do you support this?

Canada should shut the electricity it provides to the USA immediately. It is time for the Trump and the Americans to learn that you do not betray friends and allies.

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!

America doesn't want fascist allies

US credibility on the line, Wolf? It's gone gone gone, muerta. Our allies will never be able to trust us again.

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.

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?

Torching your relationships with your closest allies and trading partners... Like Brexit on crack.

1939 Stalin & Hitler tried to destroy Europe , 2025 Putin & Trump are willing to do the same...USA is no longer a Reliable Ally for Democratic countries...(so sad !)

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.

The Canada PM is truely a statesman all allied leaders are statesmen not the orange head bully

Trump is going to make our allies not have USA back the future.This is not looking well for Usa

Why is Trump picking fights with all of America's allies and cozing up to their foes? Quite weird!

The Trump administration is basically telling their allies to seek treaties China, at least we know where they stand.

Terrorist Trump is spreading his wings to his most loyal ally

the allies must stop sharing top secrets with the us , surely president traitor is handing it over to putin .

Trump has allied us with Russia.

And let me be very clear to all your black minorities Mexicans Indians Haitian whoever voted for these white National Republicans and how Hitler Donald j Trump and let me be very clear to you all yes you sold your souls for the mighty Dollar just like a lot of other black people minorities Mexicans Indians and dark skin people in this country yes you all have messed up terribly you cannot trust these white privileged people here in this country to do best or what's best for us just look at the system look at the Lost systems that justice system the system is only here to protect white supremacist people organization gang members that's all they are KKK klu Klux klan's members in this country and they do run Washington DC they run the high position in this country of jobs and yes they are all in our armed forces military they are everywhereas black people you all minority whoever in military it's time to quit stop fighting the white people's war and dying for these rich white people when they won't go with their own people to save us but we would sacrifice our people 24/7 365 days a year for $500 years we've been losing our loved ones to protect these white privileged people here in this country and they have been stepping on everybody including other allies and other countries

One man is destroying the whole world. Making enemies with all are allies. But nothing to help the working class that are struggling. And maga is clueless they think he's a tough guy and don't even care to really fact check and see they are going to suffer the most.

Dismantling U.S. democracy day by day, losing democratic allies, letting a billionaire to performer unlawful things, bowing to the bloodthirsty dictator Putin—aren’t there enough red flags? Why aren’t Americans protesting in mind-boggling numbers? The streets should be full of protesters by now.

Go Canada!!! ???\nWe betrayed, and backstabbed, and lied about, europeans stand by Canada. ????????????????️?️?️♥️♥️♥️???️?️?️?️?????????? \nWe love Canada. You have the moral compass Americans seem to have lost. I hope they wake up and stand up for themselves. ?️?️?️\nAllies dont lie about eachother, allies dont betray allies, allies dont side with the agressor, allies work together, allies dont dehumanize their allies. \nWhat America is doing to Americans is not ok. \nThey deserve healthcare, education, social security, the truth, not to become isolated and hated ect.

We do not want this! We want KAMALA! As an American, I am ABSOLUTELY disgusted w this Trump administration!! This behavior to our allies is not strength; It is weakness plain & simple. Trump is jeopardizing our national security by aligning with dictators! Throw the Republicans out of office before Russia owns us too!!!

Trump has no idea of how to lead.\nHe has no economic plan put together by this adminstrstion on HOW to budget, devise C.R.s or negotiate with Congress regarding managing the economy of the US.\nTrump is a disgrace...not only for US, but all over the world, except to Russia.\nTrump needs to be impeached\nCongress needs to invoke the 25 amendment to save our nation from this tyranny he is imposing against our allies all over the world.

What madness to friends and allies. Viva America and f everyone else…….

Just think America, your only allies now are the Russians...... Good luck

I have read many comments expressing support for Canada and assurances that the writers didn't vote for this administration. Until now, something like this could only be seen in totalitarian countries, it was the Russians, Belarusians who explained that they did not support Putin or Lukashenka, that they didn't want to be associated with the actions of their authorities. Now i see the times when Americans are ashamed of their administration in front of their allies.

GOING TO BE HARDER FOR AMERICA. YOU HAVE NO ALLIES EXCEPT RUSSIA

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

A sizeable number of Americans, I hope the majority, are as incredulous and angry about what this administration is doing to our country and its allies.

as each day passes u.s. becomes more isolated among the world's allies and closer to all dictatorships.

Tuned in to see a more forceful statement to Trump. I just wished all ally leaders would tell off this big child of a president.

Brave and dignified Americans, please act now. Don't let a single stupid person and his circle of shameless minions destroy your country, its values, and principles that have been upheld for decades. Please don't abandon your allies.

Time to kick US out as the world leader at let Canada take over. The world needs a country that is literally defined by politeness instead of a country that chose to elect a president that attacks its allies.

Trump's doctrine; Tariffs for allies, sanctions relief for dictatorships. Make it make sense.

This is blatantly obvious attack on our allies by Trump in the name of Russia. Time to take the Manchurian candidate out on espionage charges. Interrogate the Hell out of him!

Excellent speech from PM Trudeau! An example of true leadership! From Illinois and standing with my Canadian friends and allies! Trump, Vance, and Musk are repulsive, sickening, and a shameful embarrassment to the US! I hope the US can recover someday. ?

i'm sincerely sorry that trump is destroying the america at every ally he can.

My grandfather fought in world war II and he told me never trust a Russian, Canada will trade with the European Union while America seems to want to trade with Russia and Ally with Russia, \ngood luck with that. Let me know how it works out ?

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.
