A correction in your video. America does not have allies. Thank you.

Canada is going to lose its closest ally after they get kicked out of the 5 eyes due to being compromised by the CCP and triads.

If US want to compete with China, I would have thought US needs their allies, not antagonizing them.

Our Northern allies stabbing us in the back? Not surprising.

Ahh, so this is why the US was bitch slapping us. It is no wonder that our media are not reporting this because it allows them to point to Trump the bully and Canadians eat that shit up. It also benefits Trudeau as Poilievre has positioned himself as a Trump ally.

if the u.s., it's allies, and nato would stop destroying nations all around the globe for geo political reasons or resource theft then maybe people would have no reason to leave their countries. i'm sure they would much rather be at home than in some racist, morally bankrupt, fascist regime. if you think i'm wrong then look at the comments. disgusting, ignorant, savages. in all of my 72 years i've never seen such hatred, and stupidity. not even in 1960s mississippi.

Seems canada and mexico are both shitty friends and shitty allies....maybe we should just take them both and be done with it already, instead of them fucking us over every four years

This is why Canada is not much of an ally.

Canada is very laid back on border crossings. They claim to be our friend and ally but if they were truly our friend they wouldn't condone/allow this invasion from Canada into America

Oh Canada! You disrespect our anthem, fentanyl is coming in to the US from Canada and thousands of illegal are crossing the northern border. What a great ally

LOL. average of 3.3 million migrants last year.... 500 000 were illegal. You are worried about 13000 from the Canadian border. DOnald did nothing but move his mouth and made noise. His threats mean nothing. We already had border security addressed. We already are doing what we were doing and Donald did.... nothing.... same as Mexico....DOnald demanded 10 000 guards on Mexican border.... so Mexico took away 10 000 from the 20 000 they had at the border. Your leader is an idiot and you are believing him? Americans think this is a win.... but you did nothing but end free trade. Now your allies trade for FREE with the world.... You get no minerals, no energy, no oil.... because your leader negotiated by bullying..... and you cannot bully a country unless you want to start a war. Your leader is a moron... do not drink the kool aid.... because when the immigrants are gone.... who is next to blame for crime and housing crisis?

BRASIL es una buena opción. Los 3 estados del Sur de Brasil son ideales para vivir e instalarse alli.\nRIO GRANDE DO SUL, SANTA CATARINA, PARANA y la Nueva capital BRASILIA junto con ciudades como CURITIBA, PORTO ALEGRE.

As a US citizen, I am sad for both Canada and the US. We were great allies, and now that is gone. I wanted to move to Nova Scotia and start a new life doing my art and be a part of a culture I love. This is why it is so important to participate in the election process! The future is uncertain, but for those who care about our countries, we need to work together to bring back democracy and bring down the cost of living. It is insane what we are experiencing now!

Trump is doing a great job of totally dissing and isolating all of the US allies. Good job!

Dear American allies ...If you want to be respected in India avoid this kind of behaviour....or else Indians are easily offended..& ready to reciprocate.

Keep watching MAGA this is not fake news. Your guy is trying to take over countries, help Israel with ethnic cleansing, tanking the economy with tariffs and military spending, turning allies against us and stripping the intelligence agencies that protect us secretly from being attacked. Proof that he lied to you when he said we should stay out of conflicts, and that he has nothing to do with 2025 agenda. He only cares about himself an his top billionaire donors. He doesn’t care about you.

Good for the US, they might soon be without any allies.

Saudi and turkiye biggest allies of usa. Lol?

Will you protect your border? No. So, we imposed a tariff. Twenty hours later. Ok we will protect the border. Thats an ally? I don’t think so.

Our counter tariffs are interesting. Guess what's on the list? Torpedoes. Ammunition. Weapons. Yes, we will reach our 2% of GDPin military spending goal after the purchase of 12 submarines, 15 destroyers and a host of drones, but we will likely get them from Europe, Japan and other allies. \n \nTrump folded because he stands to lose Canada's purchase of military equipment.

Allies 25%\nNot allies 10% ?

It's not zero sum game. It's pretty foolish for US to treat Canada such a way, they are not only their neighbor but, their ally. Furthermore, US crude oil production is at deficit if compared to their consumption. So, if Canada stop exporting crude, US economy and industries will collapse.

The US is no longer a stable and friendly ally of Canada, Canada would be wise to increasingly diversify its trade partners.

Thank you Trump for uniting us Canadians. Never been this proud to be one. We were there for the US during tough times and being betrayed as such. EU, embrace yourself, clearly trump has no regards to allies. This teaches all of us a lesson, we can not depend on the US for anything. Let’s see who’s gonna laugh till the end. Once we don’t depend on the US, see how much power they r gonna hold over us all. Stand up to that bully -Trump

Im all for Trump doing good things but this seems a little outrageous to me ? surely they will not proceed... and why would china be 15% cheaper than china when canada is an ally... interesting times

I will help you because you turned blind.\n\nTrump followed the Putin doctrine.\n\n1: Ally with Oligarchs \n2: Paint a false picture about the world/brainwash people.\n3: now for the future (make Americans more poor) that way they have less power.\n\n4: Take the territories you like for legacy. (If Trump snatches Canada and Greenland) USA will be the biggest country in the world.\n\nCongratz The world now has one more dictator to deal with.\n\nHope this was what the voters hoped for.

the Americans do not realize that they are losing their closest ally, indeed, Canada was perhaps more of a brother than an ally. This is much worse than tariffs

Yayyy thanks trump. Let’s piss off our biggest allies!

DONALD TRUMP IS BULLY & TRULY DICTATOR! IS RUINING OUR VALUES & RELATIONSHIP TO ALL OUR ALLIES. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AGAIN BEFORE AMERICA’S MELTDOWN. HE IS INSANELY OUT OF HIS MIND ALREADY IN HIS AGE. IT SHOULD BE DECLARE THE 25th AMENDMENT NOW TO REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!! HE IS BEEN ONLY 12 DAYS IN HIS PRESIDENCY AND HE ALREADY CREATED A LOTS OF CHAOS TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY??❤️?

United States doesn’t have allies, they force countries to be their allies. ?‍??‍??‍??\n\nIn other words, they don’t have really any allies. It’s an illusion they’ve created themself. They barely have unity in their own country. Why would we expect them to have outsider friends?\n\nThe US is losing respect from many of them right now. isolate yourself! ? \n\nIs your President always golf 18 like another great isolationist leader? \n\nI think most of American would believe it if he would say so. ??

Imposing tariffs and endangering free trade is the same as denying climate change or engaging in anti-vaccine nonsense. It is unscientific and will harm those engaging in those fallacies - most likely with higher inflation in the US. Trump imposes 25% on his partners, neighbours and allies and only 10% on China. That tells you a lot.

The USA is no longer a trustworthy ally.

US is not a country to count on as ally ... lets just say the rest of the world should find allies elsewhere

American citizen here. To all my Canadian comrades, I'm truly sorry that we have such a non sensible person as President. As true allies and partners of the US that you all beautiful and wonderful people have been since the dawn of time, it's embarrassing for me to hear of these horrid tactics from our current administration.

I guess starting a trade war with America is preferred over securing the bloody border. All because that pipsqueak Trudeau and his party are desperate to gain credibility before they're annihilated in the next election. And all you people counting on oil exports to Europe to make up for the tens of billions Canada will loose in trade with America, guess you forgot that the Liberals have seriously curtailed oil/LNG production and exports. Not only has Trudeau created alienation and division within Canada, now he's destroying relations with our most trusted ally.

The US has other allies to trade with, including new ones like Argentina. I am however predicting further tension and isolation from Europe

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

China 10 allies 25. Nice

Canada should leave the Allied nations and join China and Russia, see how they feel. If it gets worst just ask the brics to station Russian missiles in the border.

Trumpf is making enemies from his best allies. That's an amazing strategy.

They knew this was coming and they refused to help the US secure the border. I'm sure if the drugs were flowing into these counties from the US, they would want immediate action on our part. Fentanyl is the #1 cause of death between the ages of 18 to 45 in the US. We are losing over 100,000 US citizens to this drug. Where are allies to help the US?

This is why Trump will occupy panama and Greenland, he will control the trade routes from west to east. This means that canada, mexico and the eu will not have any leverage in trade with countries outside of usa.\nUsa will bully and deliberately weaken his allies in order to punish china and strengthen the usa

Once allied US protected allies. MAGA US attacks allies first. What a great plan !

Serious question, WHY is trump imposing tariffs on our allies?

Putin is very happy to see the cracks between the USA and its allies.

Such bullying and that too with your core allies, wouldn't speed up the global dewesternization? And give reasons to allies to partner up with iniatives like BRICS and others.

The most stupidest economic policies I have ever seen. Imposing tariffs on allies , pushing them away and creating animosity, unbelievable. China is leaking her chops.

Trump is wild. Now he gonna make this war with his own neighboor and his allies. LoL

Here starts the downfall of the USA... when the friends become foes.. Allies become enemies....

Americans are a great people but they are being lead by a bully. I was with trump until now but bullying a close friend and ally like Canada is not the American way
