Wow, how quickly you all seem to forget. We have been paying them large amounts for years and we as Americans have been paying for it with our taxes. So because you listen to the media and like the way he speaks. It's okay! Let's not stand up for ourselves and our country and lets keep paying high taxes and make everyone in the world HAPPY! How about just like every other president we let him do his job and see where we end up at. Instead of fighting his every move because propaganda and uncertainty, let's give him a chance and see were things go. These other countries are just crying because they can no longer take advantage of America and take our money.

It’s Anti-Trump causing everyone else to be hated. Trump destroys everything he touches. Only Trump could fail with a WHOLE CASINO. Only Trump could single Handedly destroy a strong country. TRUMP MUST GO!!!!!

Can you Canadians maybe ask your King to have his other countries put tariffs on us down here in the US? What's the point of having one if you don't ask him for a little help when bad guys come after you. My country needs to learn a lesson and the faster it happens, the less pain there is for everyone.

America first!!!!! EVERYONE ELSE SECOND. America has floated the bill long enough. Nothing you have we don’t already have. We are tired of ebt we are tired of putting other countries first. I am tired. Trump get it done.

everyone wants our money and gets angry when they dont get it, WE ARE IN DEBT. we are trying to solve the debt and not just continually give aid to be people that dont need it. Work for your own country and help your own country thrive, be independant like the canada you want to be. stop being a leech.

The majority of Americans are with Canada. The majority of our country understands Trumps administrative goals are to through everyone under the bus. And the majority of Americans understand that Trumps a weak, pathetic, ill person.

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

This guy is lying so hard lol. Immigrants were coming in from your own country to America. America needs to start making our own stuff!! We been buying from everyone for years, but time to change that!!!!

Anti american ??? Are you listening to yourself ??? Trump is Anti everyone, and you want the other countries to bow down to him ??? There is no Anti american , there is anti trump and anti stupid trump ideas !

I was never a fan of Trudeau, but compared to Trump he is a breath of fresh air. Give it 3 years and 10 months and Americans will be back to sanity. Don't know if America will be in one piece though. After the three stooges have fired everyone, and taken away their social security, and our soldiers dying for no reason against our allies, and the VA system disbanded from helping past soldiers who made sacrifices for this country, while the dollar has lost most of its value, while inflation is through the roof....yes it will be tough. To our Canadian and Mexican neighbors, do what you have to do to inflict pain on the meatheads in America who think Trump is their savior. They need to be taught a valuable lesson.

It’s business. Why he making it personal? Everyone is allowed to tax America. No one else lets illegals in their country. We’re are looked at as weak and we get taken advantage of for decades

Is a great speach but we all know what this country support. Criminal behavior child s trafficing and so on. Trump clearly stated he will take down the cartels and everyone who work with them. \nIf people knew what happens Behind closed doors people would not support it. And we also know this was plqnned long ago so the world war 3 will begin. \nMabye they pretend to be against eachother so people will be fooled once again.

Wow. A well thought out, intellectual, factual speech that is delivered in a well mannered speech. Trump is a nutcase and is pissing off everyone in the world. Every bad decision and tariff he has imposed on other countries, will come back to him ten fold.

DO NOT GET RID OF MY INTERNET ( starlink )!!! not unless you have a better alternative for me to have high-speed Internet. \nTrump is trying to set himself up and America so that they are truly the only superpower of the world that needs nobody and no connection to any other country and they dictate everything across the globe. \nThat I suppose is one way of trying to do things, but it’s going to alienate the United States from the majority of the world, and will bring China closer to everyone else. And most obvious is these lining everything up for a civil war

I couldn't agree more. I hope everyone follows suit. Please do what you need to do (all trading countries). Cause it doesn't make sense anymore. Just remember, we are not properly represented as citizens because we don't have the same values as Trump and his governance.

No one believes the fentanyl lies the American Nazis in the Whitehouse tell NO ONE!!! they should have already been dragged out and took to the gilotin CANADA is our loyal family and we have attacked our own familyand the tariffs are on US!! he has lied on Canada to steal from all of us to give more and more to the billionaires THE OLIGARDS OF AMERICA!!! the elderly of America will starve the children of America will starve and our children of America will be working the jobs the immigrants work to support their families and that is the plan it's in their 2025 plan and everyone who voted for it knew it !!! NOW only knowing they are doing everything in their power to fight this is the only way they will be shown any sympathy!!! everyone who supports these Nazis should be exposed every business from the billionaires to the hotdog stand should be boycotted the real Americans need to support each other now ! what people need now is constant information on who is helping and who is not!! and if the media is going to support the people then we must not support them !! and the commercials on media that show any support to these aggressors or works to suppresses the truth should noted and boycotted .we must boycott them all we cannot give them a penny and take any penny we can we must get our country back let's all go AMERICA NOW!!! we must save america

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Trump will destroy all the NATO allies then he can convert US to Communist and report to Putin. Everyone steering to tariffs this is just the way he can ruins the country before he die.

Dear Canadians, Americans love you! Our heart is breaking. Why can’t we have a president with manners and dignity?\n\nAs a Daughter of the American Revolution and a veteran I want to apologize for my country. \n\nI’m not sure how everyone can be so fooled by this man who I knew was a lecherous thug the first time I saw him back in the 90s. When he was dying to sit at Elaine’s table, but she wouldn’t have him. Everyone knows he’s scum.

Everyone in these comments should be ashamed of themselves. Siding with other countries over their own all because they hate Trump.

No one needs Canadian Vegetable fats, cereals and distillation products. Build your own country, internet and whatever. Everyone knows Canada is boring and pointless.They should replace Canadians with our gang members put them back in check.

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Everyone I speak to in the UK stands with Canada. We must do what’s right and stand up to the bully boy tactics from USA and Russia. Sad for Americans who didn’t vote for this seeing their country go this way.

Look at all the comments of everyone on here that have no idea about politics or finances. I am pretty sure he put in his resignation because he failed canada and its people. But hey we have Americans on here complaining and of course caring about another country rather than their own.

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

Trump owes Putin for something..and the country is not going to be held to his debt to Putin. Is someone in Trump's family being held by Putin? Is everyone accounted for in Trump's family...have we seen , Baron lately???? Putin must have something....

Proud of how our country is rallying together and for not stooping to Trump's level <3 My heart goes out to everyone in America who did not vote for this. Big hugs from Canada!

Everyone across the world needs to shun trump his worshipers and this country until we impeach and kick trump out

As an American I don't want this either but yes OUR government Is HURTING everyone, I support your efforts to protect YOUR country. You are doing exactly what you need to do. Not all of us are stupid.

Close your open door policy and stop letting everyone come to your country. And then they sneak into our country. Go to Vancouver and you will see there is a brown and yellow town I mean how many of them are illegal. On the other hand i understand what you saying. Key words border check point. But how long is the border in Canada thousands of ways for stuff to come through

Everyone acting like the US doesn’t carry the whole world lmao all these countries wouldn’t be shit without us?

Your a puppet for china and soros everyone know that. Your on your way out ! You e been stealing from us for years hurting your own people. Its a good thing you have a good speech writer . We shall see whos stonger in the end you lying trator to your own country. Youve sat and let drugs and illegals invade our boarders for years you worthless piece of **** .How dare you speak to Trump like you have a right to your sickening. Your ready to release what ever it is you have to betray your people and Americans to further your own sale out agenda your an evil coward .

I love this.\nThis is how you talk to the country and everyone else with respect and honesty

Everyone in the comments loves this man - yet his country don't like him... just saying

I’m so ashamed of our country. This is going to cause global economy collapse. This is going to hurt everyone, and country, and corporations. Trump knows what he’s doing. He’s working with Putin to cause this- global plutocracy. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Maybe now, it will sink in to people. We pay, not ??. They are force to put tariffs on their goods, who do you think pays? This is ?, peanut butter, Aluminum foil, etc. I suggest start stocking up. In about two weeks increased prices will hit the shelves.

As an American I'm extremely saddened and disappointed by everyone who voted for Trump when we knew this day was coming. It's your fault this country is about to go through one of the worst economic periods ever.

Boo boo, don’t care. It’s time that the countries we support show some love back. In our time of need we are getting ghosted but everyone expects America to just to attention when there is a conflict or someone needs money. No one cares about our financial needs or our battle with the cartels and illegal immigration. Then screw them. If they want to leave us high and dry because they like the old way of doing things, aka syphoning off Americas wealth, then they can get ghosted right back. I know this will get hate because the people who support CNN are mostly trump haters, but oh well. There’s gonna be a lot of pain before the soothing comes because of all the damage that’s been done. My heart goes out to those suffering, you’re not alone, we’re all in this hoping for a better America.

Congratulations Mr. Trudeau, you finally sound like our Prime Minister should. Now start making this country self sufficient so we don't have to rely on anyone. No more selling off our Crown corporations our land and other businesses to foreign countries. Keep Canada Canadian and give jobs to born Canadians first. Stock pile our oil and gas for our use and lower the prices of these things so that transportation cost make things easier for business and personal enjoyment. Don't tax the farmer so that they can supply food to everyone cheaper. We should not be struggling in this country which has all the natural resources . The unnatural population growth has put a strain on the whole system and in some cases put us in danger too. The crime rate has increased in large part to your lax immigration system. All the businesses increased the prices of everything due to this unnatural population growth. Supply and demand is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. In a normal household we make plans and prepare for changes. You just said ok, let's bring people here and forgot about the preparations. Infrastructure first man. If your going to bring half a million people over here, build the houses first bro. Nobody in Canada should be homeless which is another result of poor preparation. The housing prices and everything else went through the roof in large part due to the unnatural population growth. Anyway, think first before you act just like in a private home. Good luck Mr. Trudeau and everyone else. I hope it's not too late to get this country back on track so we can all enjoy life the way we used to....Peace

As an American im proud of trump standing up for us and no longer allowong us to get taken advantage of. Countries are mad that they have to pay more instead, of expecting us to pay for them. Too bad, so sad. Us paying part of everyones share HAS been hurting us. The other country will just feel the pain as well instea dof feeling peace as we pay their price.

Everyone needs to remember that Canada and Mexico are both Americans to. Different countries, but the same continent. And oh...I don't believe that the United States electected the person that the thought they did. If you cannot defeat a nation that is far more powerful than your own nation, how will you accomplish it then. The country has been compromised.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

All this because my country ain’t want a woman president ??‍♂️ this could’ve been avoided hope everyone wallets ready s**+ bout to get reaaaaaaaaaal

Was reading these Comments wondering how everyone was siding with countries that don’t put America first. Then I seen I was watching a video by fakeNN. Makes sense.

Canada is also our closest leech. By all rights you shouldnt even be an independent country. You're the second biggest country in the world, you have the 28th largest military. Your entire population is barely over that of california. You're economy is borderline pathetic, and your government is even worse. Kick this Trudeau clown to the curb and get a better PM. As far as im concerned any free nation that limits speech and rights the way canada does is simply not free. We would gladly take everyone west of Winnipeg and accept you into the USA. But Quebec and Ontario can piss right off.

its not a harsh language from PM Justin, his messages was delivered so professional that everyone understands the situation, I am on his side. If this is a message from DT and JV, there might be WW III and hatred between countries ??

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

God bless the brave people of Canada for standing up to our unstable president and vice president. I am sad for the country I call home. I am still at a loss and feel very unsettled that Donald Trump was elected president. His presidency is marked by retaliation and actions that are ego boosting for him. Yet, many people don’t see it this way ?‍♀️. I am hoping and praying that other countries remember that not everyone is on board with Donald Trump and his party.

Trump is such a fool. He just manufactured an excuse to put tariffs on. He likes to show he is a tough guy by inflicting pain on everyone. This fentanyl excuse is maddening. No other country has this issue. Drugs are illegal and no one is forced to take them. Take responsibility for your choices. No one should die but no one should take illegal drugs.

Trudeau is extremely impressive in government actions and in communicating as simply as possible to the people of USA, to explain what is happening and to implore that they pressurise their rotten Trump government. This is an attack on a very friendly government with 25% tariffs on everything but just 10% on China?? This is an attack to try to destabilise Canada to help in taking the country over. It won't work and everyone will suffer or lose.

We all know it was never about DRUGS and Illegal immigrants anyone with a brain should know it was always about the MONEY, ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY. Trump should of just told them honestly, no more FREE period instead of making these countries put resources at the border. Trump play a game to get 2 for 1 by making them secure the borders and making them pay tariffs all at the cost of the American people if Americans do stuffer. But I do again with the tariffs everyone should pay considering that all the factories run to these foreign countries for cheaper labor, and Americans are your biggest buyers. Any country who wants FREE should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe Canada should be free US and Canada had a good relationship. But Mexico and China NOT at all.
