As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

Nah. This won't affect the Trumpets. They're accustomed to poverty. That's why they hate everyone else so much. Those who they think took what they are entitled with because they were here first or because the color of their skin. That's why they chose a false saviour with his lies that benefits them. They will be fine. The trash is ok with being treated like waste.

Trump is openly attacking America's allies while aiding its adversaries—most notably, Russia. His agenda has never been clearer. Just look at the way he treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO. His actions systematically weaken those who stand against Vladimir Putin. Can’t you see what’s happening? Trump is acting in a way that directly benefits Russia, raising serious questions about his true allegiances.

Partner my ass!! I crossed the border in a truck over 100 times. Every time I was treated like dirty Harry. My truck was taken apart, I was insulted for being a Veteran and told I was a trained killer, I told them that we didn't sit around and play marbles and jacks. Meanwhile towel heads crossed the border without restrictions.. not having to stop at all... using the GM TRUCKS to haul contriband to the US to kill us! No love lost for me.

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

Looks scared to me.\nAfter how he treated the truckers and supporters hes scum.

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

Shouldn't have treated Canada like Mexico. Not the same situation.

6:43 Sure we stuck to our word but that's irrelevant. Dump is intent on getting his hands on Canada's natural resources because he thinks leaving any money on the table is criminal. He thinks it's a failing that we haven't treated our environment like an oligarch's playground, selling off everything to the highest bidder. This is what he has TOLD you he is planning for America and he's created this trade war smokescreen to keep everyone distracted while he does it. He won't be done until all of North America and Greenland are barren and there's no profit left to make.

We should all of us around the world , Canada Mexico Eu China ect boycott all together USA at once Till the Tangerine Tyran felt humiliated as Zelinsky was On that day , and please You MAGA fashists keep Your red stupid caps when you cross your border , We will treat you as you deserve as Trump treat the rest of the World , And for the others Artists , Humanists numerous good Americans come to EU or Canada whe have free healtcare that works way better that in Us , good food , culture and cool unarmed peaple to hang with . Your welcome and we know how terrible is fashisme America Rebel You !!!

As a US citizen, I apologize for the shameful way this administration is treating our closest friend and ally.

Americans, watch as our lives become more and more and more expensive...a direct contradiction to what Trump promised. Treating our North American ally in this fashion is beyond outrageous!!!!

Most of us find Trump disgusting and love Canada. You have to protect your people. What a firm, yet eloquent speech. I hate to see how Trump is treating everyone. He is not smart or nice.

Donald J. Trump is the very Best US President we have seen in our lifetime. President Trump only expects trading partners to treat the US fairly.

Remember that both Canada and Mexico came to America’s aid during the LA fires. ? \nThey have always been our allies and this is how we’re treating them. Shame on you, Donald!

“President Donald J Trump,” to you — and your country started this by treating us unfairly

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

Trump can't give a speech without it becoming a whine about how unfairly he is being treated.\nTrudeau, in the face of actual oppression, is calm, steady and professional.\nThe difference is like night and day.

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

Canada treated them truckers like dirt!

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

It is embarassing that we are treating Canada, our closest ally, this way.

This is the way Donald treats his “friends”. I’m ashamed of my country. I stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine.

American here, I support you, Canada. I didn't vote for Trump. He is embarrassing our country. I am so sorry he's treating you badly. If your country wasn't so cold, I'd move to Canada in a heartbeat! You deserve to be treated better.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

DUMP IS A MORON AND A HATER AGAINST HIS BEST NEIGHBORS IN AMERICA. HE TREATS HIS MASTER PUTLER BETTER THEN HIS OWN ALLIES. HE IS MAKING ENEMIES AGAINST THE USA ?? IN THE WHOLE WORLD ? WITH HIS FOOLISHNESS

I'm far from wealthy but every little thing I treat myself to for the next 4 years will come from Canada and Ukraine.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

Yet how has Canada been treating indigenous Canadians and other groups ?

The gaslighting the world is displaying is unbelievable. The moment America starts to look out for itself, like a toxic partner or lover, the world is responding by making us look like the problem. Not the people who have taken advantage of us. We have been the world's savior for 100 years, where is the gratitude? We aren't just going to shutter our doors to the world, we are rebuilding our country from the last corrupt administration. We love our allies, we just want to help our American people first for a change! Your countries all look out for yourselves, we are doing the same for a while. We aren't your enemies, don't treat us as such just for taking care of ourselves.

I could not be prouder of my Canadian ancestors and more ashamed of America now. This is not how you treat your friends and neighbors we will get what we deserve some not me elected a fool and Putin's puppet. We will all suffer for this and It is idiotic but the rich will not feel the pain so it might be time to move to Canada or Mexico where the have real leaders not puppets.

Trump is a traitor. He should be treated as such.

How dumb can Trump be? Treating your most loyal ally and neighbour who has supported you through thick and thin like disposable garbage. This is gonnna cost Trump potentially his presidency with the tarrif he imposing on their trading partners.

America is now run by a communist sympathiser and supported by communist friendly media its leader has already stated he wants to annex Canada, America must now be treated as a threat to all Western countries and isolated from all treaties as its future now lies in partnership with Russia

We will take your products, join the EU and have free access to our markets at a discount. Welcome Canada, thank you for saving us in WW2, welcome to the EU, we are alike in mentallity, manners, worldviews and strategic interests. Europe loves Canada, please send your raw products to Europe and we wil share the profits together, instead of hog all profits and forcing to sell at lower prices like US, with tarifs as a thank you. \n\nAs a thank you trade will boom, we have many products you need to develop greenhouses, refine your own crude oil and start gas installations. Welcome Canadians, we finally get to repay you after so many years, let us treat you well! Kind regards, Europe!

STOP THE FLOW OF FENTANYL COMING ACROSS YOUR BORDER AND THIS ENDS!!! We are also very aware of how YOU treat your own citizens, so don’t address our nation as if you know good from evil. In other words SHUT UP!

This is Insane! I am a American who is Cheering on Canada a Country that's not my own, because of how they are being treated! The behavior of Donald Trump makes me ASHAME to be a American!

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

As an American citizen... I am sorry for this idiotic trade war, I am sorry for the way our government treated Zelensky, and I hope that they can figure out a way to treat other governments with respect.

Canadians can't stand you Justin ? your party ruined the country and the World never forgot how you treated the truckers and the Canadians supporting the cause... you little fascist.

ALLYS AND FRIENDS TREAT EACHOTHER EQUALLY 200 BILLION IN TRADE DEFFICIT A YEAR TO CANADA WILL HAPPEN NO MORE... EVERY 5 YEARS THATS - 1 TRILLION

Trump missed the semesters when they covered Econ I & II. He also does not appreciate friendship and does not know how to treat people. I am devastated that my fellow Americans actually voted for him again.

Trudeau what a loser. Treated half of his country like criminals. Exit stage left.

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

Maybe it's because listening to Trump speak for eight years has broken my brain, but it's so weird listening to the leader of a country speak like an actual leader and not suck himself off and complain how he's treated the whole time

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

Thank you Canada for being our Ally and friend. We are devastated how our allies are getting treated by our oligarchy administration. Lord help us.
