I'm from colorado usa and am so happy to see countries fight back against trump - take him down pls.

Go Justin Go! Go Canada Go! So good and true speech! Wake up USA. You need to take back your country before its totally destroyed!!!

Trump is doing this to make Canada and Mexico fold so they become part of the USA. Trump is trying to expand the US without an actual war but by weakening there economy so Trump can hostile take over there country

Trudeau secure your boarder with the ??. Have fair trade with the usa instead taking advantage of us. Build your own military and protect yourself. This communist pm needs to go

Well stop mass importing Chinese goods and marking them up 1000% then selling it to the USA dick .....and Trump is trying to end war and the USA being taken for granted ....northern Gavin newsom stop taking money from black rock while your at it

Trumps trying to undermine and out USA allies and neighbours to their knees and take advantage of them if possible. If they kneel, he's going to milk them off them economically. ? dumb move if the US allies and friends dont budge ?

It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

have gone through the comment section, most Americans are just emotional. your president might not be a perfect person but truly he is putting your country first. As an outside and an African, USA as a country has been taken advantage of by most western countries. China is taking over the whole world.

Question Americans and Press how Rich more rich will Trump be and is he aligning himself when he is DONE BEING PRESIDENT?! He is taking over companies and communities for Himself while using a USA badge as President. This is not Well and it is the SECOND MONTH OF THE YEAR WE HAVE 3&3/4 years left wow Jesus!!

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

Trump has hurt the USA so bad it will take decades to recover

Trump pandering the the strategic directives of the Project 2025 playbook and its architects empowered by Oligarchs. Sadly it’s includes setting the world on fire to bulldoze and dismantle democracy! It is the only way they are able to live in a new USA that promotes their shocking policies of dictatorship. Brace yourselves globally! Imperialism is back courtesy of DJ Trump & his presidency. Resist you must! Remember who you are! Fight back! Mobilise your communities, it’s left to the people to take back the power! It requires strength in numbers. The world watches & supports & prays for you! ✊?✊?✊???????

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Hey, dump, I didn't ask for you the first time. You're a disgrace to HUMANITY. Why the hell would I vote for you the 2nd time around? I voted for Hillary and Kamala over your filth that IS you. I don't want anything to do with anyone who sides with the Great Deceiver and followers. I guess this is what it takes. You all disgust me. This whole thing creeps me the hell out. Beam me anywhere else, Scotty. USA has been duped with the whole world. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to the series Fallout the annexation of Canada will take place in 2070 so we have time before the first nuclear dance, but the paranoia of the USA has started earlier than expected with this government, good luck.

The part that you people don't understand not to be rude. Donald has a mental illness. He's hurting his own USA people and he wants to be a DICTATOR! He wants to take the medical and food away from disabled. Poor people who does that. Only a mentally ill dictator. I could go on forever. I support Canada 100% and I'm very sorry but it's not going to change anything.

You have been taking advantage of the USA. noe that Americans want trade parity, you complain. you are abusive. Speaking of Russia to undercut America, you forget your suppottbto theSikhs terorits. toy have been ponging on theccmricans, nd now that aAmerican President, best in many years, has called off your taking advantage, you cry. GROW UP. YOU GOT THERE YOUR FTHER WAS PM. BUY CONT NOT GET MOB IN GHA MARKETS. THATY ISA HOW SMALL YOU ZR.

This is a LEADER. USA take note….

I have a good idea all you guys from different states come together with us usa citizens and take trump out of office cuz we need someone with brains ?

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

?? inflation for USA!! Baby first take care for our country.

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

I have my ?ready! Ready to watch karma take over USA. Color people are used to the struggle nothing new for us. Christian and Evangelicols hypocrisy GOD been watching your hatred and racism actions. The destruction of the imperial in live and in color! USA is so racist that they rather destroy the country. They prefer to put a criminal in the White House that has a close connection with Putin.

Canada been mooching off the usa for decades! Maybe Canada should volunteer to drop all the tariffs they have on us if they want to be friends. Why is it ok for them to have tariffs on us but we can't have tariffs on them? Canada started this terrific war years ago and the USA NEVER DEFENDED THEMSELVES! Why do we call them our ally when all they do is take? We have a hundred billion dollar trade deficit with them already. Canada funds their imaginary socialist utopia off the backs of Americans and it's time to stop the bleeding.

All these people here who say they stand with Canada are mostly likely those who voted for this criminal to be in office.. the only thing he accomplished is avoiding prison. Nothing he does benefits the usa people. Fires federal workers, bankrupt usa companies and etc.. he has to understand that bringing companies back into the usa take times..

Two possibilities, one he is doing Putin's bidding and destroying the USA. Two he is trying to weaken Canada to the extent that he can take them over and absorb them into the US.

Ukraine 3 years of USA money and artillery to fight a war that impossible to win with his country flattened his people killed soldiers women and children that European country's have sat back an watched waffing what the USA should do \nIreland own people living on the streets with 100.000 Ukraines taking up housing with able body men here that's suppose to to be soldiers living it up here \nEurope are sitting back prompting him what he needs in guarantees from the USA \nHow many more must die for him , Crazy while he spoofs from country to country for arms and money with billions already wasted \nTrump is correct, to stop funding a war , its peace he wants people need cop on \nFunding more money to maim and kill will not make peace

How long will it take before this traitor is forcibly removed from office by the US military? He is quickly driving the USA off a cliff.

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

The Mexican president wants Trump yo take care of the cartels in USA, why he doesn’t take care of in his territory and wants to fix it in Mexican Territory. The last army guns that the government confiscated in Mexico were for Americans to tried to cross to Mexico .

It's time for the USA citizens to take out this cancer once and for all.

Every leader of the free world needs to tell trdumps like it is. Putin owns trdumps and he is turning the USA over to his puppet master dictator murderous thug so take care of yourselves allies because this is exactly what Putin has wanted forever

A leader who can speak with good articulation and respect. USA take note.

We now have a criminal administration in the US if that were not enough the leader is also crazy. Americans are only just starting to feel the pain his policies will bring to us and now even more to Canadians whose economy is in a more fragile state than ours. The silver lining is American people will stand with the people of other countries including Canadians to take back their power from a would be dictator who cares not about people but only the bottom line. Appologies to all Canadians from the people of the USA !

Why is the USA disallowed from doing what is best for the USA? Not everything is an attack if we are trying to take care of ourselves first. Get over yourself, Justin.

All these “happy to support Canada” people are frustrated with the USA because the USA is no longer a personal ATM for all the countries that have been taking money from the USA for decades. The USA Tax Payers have been funding these countries - no more. I don’t mind paying more.

Trudeau sucks!!! I hope were invaded by the USA... should take all of 5 minutes

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

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.

True Americans stand with our President Donald J Trump, the majority of real patriots voted for him. Canadians, Mexicans, Ukraine, it's over, they will not continue taking advantage of American citizens, fix your problems, USA we have our own problems and our leader only cares about us, as it should be.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

Europe take note we’re next. Kick Trump where it hurts. Support Canada. Stop USA aggression.

It's Anti-Trumpism not Anti-Americanism. Take back your country, and we will be keeping ours. Canada will never be the 51st state of the USA. Viva Canada Viva Ukraine Viva America

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.

During 9/11. We sent fireman down there and let the airplanes diverted here from the USA here Canadians let them in their houses. After you take out gas there is a trade surplus with Canada

Canadá still ❤️ American people!! and we are very sorry that you guys have a president who is bullying.. all the citizens around your country ? as Elon son told Trump he needs to go away and also Elon they are destroying USA specially median class… In my point of view the citizen puts the president and also they can take away since he is abusing of power !!

With all due respect, Trudeau is a JOKE. He is out due to screwing with our economy. He is looking Good at the moment due to Trump (lets be honest even putin looking better than trump right now). That being said Tradeau is gone! We will have a conservative government that is going tougher on USA if this continues. \n\nI rather due buisines with USA and mexico, then take it to China, russia or any other country.

The tariffs on Canada and Mexico are not about what they are doing now. The tariffs are about what OUR FRIENDS????? allowed to happen for the last 4 years. They silently witness how illegals invaded our country and how they allowed the Mexican cartels to take over the borders. Many of our young people died to drugs and illegal criminals. Many of our law enforcement died and were kicked by illegals. OUR FRIENDS?????? watched without action and NOW!!!!! they want to play the victim card. Typical from countries that always blame USA for their failures. Cuba and Venezuela are great examples of what happened to countries that separate from the USA.
