Trump it is an ally of russia working together with all autocracy countries and it is in the highest position possible to destroy NATO ally from the inside and that is exactly what he is doing together with elon musk and other billionaires, when USA will be terminated it will continue on the same path or straight conquering anything that oppose to them so in the end what will remain will be only very rich billionaires to rule the world as they like, and of course slaves... that means the rest of the world. How is that for a future scenario?

I was born in a communist country, but even we haven't had such a joke as Trump. I sincerely sympathize with the average American, such a joke will lead them to ruin in 4 more years. Trust in American business partners will be zero in the next 4 years at least if they let this old man play with Putin.

That lunatic, demonic midget of Putin must have very delicate data about Trump or Trump's family, and all Trump thinks about is saving his own ass and not care for the American people.

Trump is literally a cancer to our fucking country

Trump is implementing tariffs as a federal income generating mechanism. Really nothing to do with fentynal, Canadian bad trade practices or anything else. Trump's verbage is just a deflection from the fact that he is charging his own people...a tax to improve their coffers

From Alabama to Mr. Trudeau. Trump is not my president and it surely is not my government! I voted against everything he stands for!

I love trump

It all makes sense. Everything that doesnt make sense does make sense if you look at it from the point that Trump is a puppet of Putin.\n\nThen everything, from Ukraine to whacking friends, to underming his own people, starts to make all the sense in the world.

Well done Canada for standing up against this bully of Trump administration.

I would like to thank all the kind words from all over the world I see here. We as Canadians really appreciate it. It's going to be a tough time ahead for this country, but if no one else will stand up to Trump, we will.

I was thinking to send my 8 years old niece to teach Trump how to do good trade. She does it so well (polite,respectful, considerate) to get treats (chocolates, food, etc.) from us.

Trump is a man without moral principles. for who the words dignity, friendship mean nothing. Respect to Canada and all the countries who don't kneel before the brutal and unscrupulous man.

crasy crasy trump and his administration \nDelirium delirium delirium for trump!\nCanadians and his Prime Minister are proud of their country and for human rights and freedom!\nusa is not now a friend \nusa is a friend for dictators like russia and poutine or north corea and mafias organizations and Netanyahu and destroyed Gaza and countries around with moneys from usa and trump with arms for millions and millions of milliards $\nBye bye usa\nStay in your crimes \nStay in injustice actions\nWith your gods $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

As a Democracy loving American, who’s against our evil man-child dictator Trump, I want to express an apology to the world. Trump is absolutely insane and morally bankrupt. ?

Keep the tariffs; I hope Canada and Mexico tromp us. (Just realized only one vowel separates tromp from trump and RTump tromps on everyone with whom he comes in contact, except, of course, PUtin.)

I’m so embarrassed of my country, the USA, right now. We want you to know many of us do not support Trump!

I am an American and I stand with Canada and every other nation being harassed and bullied by the Trump!

As a Canadian - Trumps 'brilliance' has done one thing for sure, it's aligned all of the provinces against our neighbor and former ally the United States. It's done something we ourselves have had difficulty with - gaining support from Quebec. The overwhelming vast majority of Canadians don't trust the US anymore, as the legal justification for the tariffs is absolute bull, and is a pretext for Trumps actions. My family has cancelled all US travel, in my case 2 trips this year worth 15K to the US. I will miss Vegas for my 60th. We used to shop in WA State weekly; last year I spent 11K in WA State, and routinely took in shows in Seattle. No more. \n\nCan anyone please explain why Trump is screwing over Americans? Seriously.

Remove Trump from office. He is totally incompetent. Our country has lost its democracy. Trump has got to be removed.

this is the dictator that closed bank accounts of protesters if you controled your borders you would have no tariffs thats all trump asked

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

Trump is a Russian asset.

Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

One exception with what Trudeau said...trump is NOT a smart guy by any stretch ?

Wow! Leader of a country with a backbone. You should be proud, Canada. He makes Trump and Vance look like the low intelligent monkeys that they are. No offence to monkeys intended.

Trump wants to annihilate Canada and take us over

I am so hurt for what Trump is doing to us. I know it’s not all the Americans. Peace with you my friends ✌???

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.

Trump's a clown.

He was absolutely right it’s not about fentanyl it’s just an excuse that Trump wants to use for his dumb ssa supporters

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

Trump is wrong about Ukraine your description of putin is a true!!!Americans mostly respect Canada as an ally, trump is after all NATO allies its obvious ploy for Ruzzia despot!!!

Trump is truly dumb fighting with his closest allies

Im canadian and Trudeau is a looser that doesn't speak for me\n \nThank you trump for showing canadians how weak our liberal progessive politicians have made our country

From Minnesota Iam standing with you Canada!! Trump does things impulsively Prayers, are needed.

BLAME EVERY REPUBLICAN WHO'S EVER ENABLED TRUMP!

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

As an American, I didn't vote for Trump, and I certainly don't want this. So sorry Canada ?? ?...and I'm sorry that too many of the American people fell for Trump's lies ?.

about drugs and illegal immigrants are clean, i am trust treadeu and i know he have matter house prices in his country. But he must be explained the subsidies that Trump said Canada received in very clean, its true or not. If true why canada not invest back to USA make fair economic as purpose make a trade balance both two country. In fact many factory moved from the usa to canada and USA trade deficit with Canada. SO dumb

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

From America and I’m sorry my fellow citizens elected this asshole trump!!! I stand with Canada !!

When Trump talks and lies and lies about Fentanyl and subsidizing...why isn't he being called out? Macron is the only one that corrected him.

Screw Canada and Trump

Trump is the best President in my 70 years. MAGA.

American Government is the most Corrupted system even more then it as ever been, this is sickening, Trump\nand Musk must go, all with all the corruption from Republicans and Democrats

Way to go, Trump and Musk both trashing our relationship with are closest allie.

I don't think the world and America itself will be able to endure Trump quietly for the next extra 4 years ? Bro hasn't even arrived yet and already the entire planet is fed up with it. ??

Trump is completely unreasonable. There is no sense dealing with him, period. If it is going to be 25% or even 50% with reciprocal tariffs, we simply DO NOT import American goods into Canada (if our retailers don't order them, there is nothing they can do) and if we export, the consumer is paying those tariffs and we continue to manufacture. I honestly think that is the best, maybe the only, solution. If tariffed countries stop buying American goods, maybe Trumputin will reconsider. And if he doesn't, he doesn't. He isn't known for his brain power.

Trump succeeded in getting Canada and Mexico to protect the US border, something the US couldn't do for decades. Claiming that drugs were flooding into the US from Canada is another Trump lie that the media promotes constantly. Trump is a dangerous fool, thinking he will buddy up with Russia and come out ahead. Better men than him have failed and paid a high price for trusting Putin. Wishing our US friends the best of luck under the rule of this radicalized tyrant

The only thing Trump said, fix the Boarder !
