As an American I stand with our President DJT we don't need u Canada you can stop piggyback our military protection

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Trumpaloonatic is hurting the U.S purposely. Even those who r right there by his side. He dont care bout u he needs u to manipulate the ppl under u so they do the same to the ones under them and do forth. Melania... she has it coming. The FB guy, he has it coming, all those who once made this FK crybaby feel bad or shamed him infront of camaras... u have it coming. Why? How? Hes big jack horner... he plays games but he doesnt get his way he makes u pay. He is paying back for being a failed business man in the U.S. Because he has failed as a business man, he has made it to where he is now because he is a very successful con artist, a swindler and a scammer. Hes a sneaky snake who has the U.S under his armpit squeezing every single $ out of it. This FKR needs to be stopped.

Trump is ruining the country and our alliance. He needs to stop insulting people. He just insulted Canada, Mexico and all the workers he's leaving jobless

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Bla bla bla Trudeau you need us more than we need you. So stop the illegals the drugs and pay your own way

?? his tariff is on a tiny amount compared to what the US imports from them! These countries think they can control the US!? we stop buying from them and they go bankrupt! We can supply all we need in the US of A!

Someone will need to stop this madness from reigning! Well done Mr President

Lol, cnn stop. Like Canada does not need us more than we need them.

You needed to stop the fentanyl from coming over the Border that's all you had to do and in the process protect your own people from Fentanyl

Fentanyl helped my mom with cancer pain. Then she got better and stopped taking it. Fentanyl sounds great to me. How many other issues does he Kev have need to be removed from the face of the earth that also help us. Not the speech of a thinker.

The only reason the US imports so much from Canada is because the Democrats stopped production of all the materials Canada supplies the US because of their green policies. \nBut President Trump is reopening the gas, oil, electricity and agriculture production, so they won’t need to import so much from Canada, in fact probably reducing it substantially. \nProbably what will happen now is discussions on various goods to become equal on terms of cost in both countries levelling the playing field.

Finally, our dear Prime Minister, you stopped being nice and polite. Being firm and direct in this matter is exactly what Canadians need

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

SHUT UP JUSTIN WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR PEOPLE YOU CUT OFF THEIR FOOD FUNDS DURING COVID BECAUSE TRUCK DRIVERS WOULDN'T GET A CALL WITH A TRUCK DRIVERS DON'T NEED A COVID SHOT THEY'RE IN THE TRUCK ALONE ALL DAY EVERYDAY, CANADA'S GOVERMENT, U JUSTIN , STOP ? LETTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY, THEIR LAST NAME IN CANADA , INTO A HINDU , EUROPEAN or even ASIAN LAST NAME,\nBECAUSE \nCriminals plan on coming into the UNITED States and ROBBING USA BLIND BY COMMITTING USA CLASS X FELONY FRAUD AND THEFT OF ALL THE USA BENEFITS PROGRAMS.\nSTOP LETTING CRIMINALS INTO your COUNTRY and HIRE their IDENTITY because CANADA creates a WHOLE NEW IDENTITY CRIMINALS , so they can come into AMERICA and HIDE their CRIMINAL IDENTITY , CAREER CRIMINALS come into your country and CANADA GIVES CRIMINALS NEW FICTITIOUS IDENTITIES AND FACTITIOUS IDS giving them fictitious identities with fictitious IDs, so they can come into the United States and commit massive { USA class X FEDERAL FELONY FRAUD and THEFT of all the USA benefit programs.\nJUSTIN YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR BECAUSE MOST OF THE CRIMINAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN THE USA COME FROM CANADA THEY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY IN CANADA, CANADA PRODUCES FICTITIOUS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FICTITIOUS IDS FOR MUSLIM TERRORIST

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

A message to Canada from an actual patriotic American: Do what you need to do. We support you. We understand you are helping us stop this scourge that is Trump.

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

USA!!! Buy American. Canada has been taking advantage of the US. We need to make America better!!! Having a better economy means we buy American and stop supporting foreign nations.

You are missing a huge point. Canada needs to do their part to protect the border. They have had done enough!!!\n\nIf it was my daughter that was raped and murdered due to the illegal crossings; I would pay more. Put yourself in the place of the innocent girl killed. Imagine how her last moments were; yes I would pay more to stop that from ever happening again.

Canada shouldve been stopping immigrants and deadly drugs a long time ago. Now you want to respond! We lost too many Americans due to thay deadly drug. Hudreds of thousands of americans, including my brother. So to hell wtih Canada and there tarrifs. We dont need there products. Americans, stand stong and weather the storm. Canada will bow down. USA WILL NEVER BOW DOWN!

Let me be clear. Stop giving Canada money. And if you're a American and you support being trillions of dollars in deficit for a country that we literally pay money to in order to keep their economy healthy then you need to move out of my country.

Equality in protecting each other is a must. Mexico and Canada haven’t stopped illegal drugs from coming into their countries which then comes to the USA. Need to beef up your ports and international airports. Your border is safe because of the USA.

Guys, are you still in doubts and pretending to now see the country going down! You need to call your lawmakers now to change sides and have some immediate checks and balances on this government. Or else most of your wealth will be GONE while the Billionaires are getting richer. Stop the partisan politics now and defend your interests, America!

Your border is secure because you are bordered by the usa. americans are dying because of the loose mexican border and lack of government control of mexico. Its the usa and mexico that need to stop this. Mexico is the path and us politicians are to blame.

Trump needs stop using blackmail and strong arming mafia tactics on his allies. He might get what he wants, but burning lots of bridges while doing so.

Its time, the whole World needs to stop, re-think, and take measures to end wars. Get together and stop any entity from continuing to do harm to any human being all around the world. Come on, Make this World a Better Place to live in. Take a stand against all evil around the world.

Trump is just stupid... He doesn't know how relationships work!!!.. He needs to be stopped

You need to stop watching the mainstream media! Perhaps then you would know what the facts are! \nOops, nevermind, you know the truth, you're just too disgusting to speak it!!!

From UK , Trump and Vance should be forced out of their jobs as are not fit for purpose . Terrible what they are playing at , Trump is easily taken in with Putin he wants Trump himself to be a Dictator just alike his pal , his hero Putin \nPutin he is a mass murderer and wanted for war crimes also .\nEvil man Putin and trump just what does he see in him . Both as said Trump and Vance should be taken out of their jobs \nforced if need be . Trump sais he is trying to stop a war in Ukraine ? Seems to me he has not \nSeems so far as i type he talks bull , and just after the rare minerals in the Ukraine . The mans not fit for the job within \nand needs removed along with his co habs Vance and the other idiot stood behind them in that room .\nTreated Zelensky terribly also in that room a set up against him it was ..Americans get rid of them guys somehow .\n\nCanada all the best .

Canada does not even need counter tariffs. Canadians already stopped buying US stuff.

let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

Blah blah blah stop it ??? this the US we don’t need you at all !!

He's purposely ruining the United States to hand over to Russia. He's doing the bidding for Putin. How are we going to stop him? He needs to be stopped.The american people didn't ask for any of this!!!

why is our leader in america hurting us. we need to stop all this before we lose our democracy

Canadian here, I just feel really bad for the normal Americans who didn't vote for this orange clown who seems hellbent on making their lives miserable. We don't hold it against you, and this is a war with your government, not the people. Americans will always be our brothers and sisters, we just gotta get through this extremely weird and disturbing chapter in history. My grandpa fought side by side with Americans in WW2, and gave his life to stop fascist idiots like Trump. History can't, and won't repeat itself. Unfortunately, this all needs to happen for pro-trump Americans to feel the pain and realize what he is.

As a Canadian I am shocked that very few Americans seem to care at what Trump is doing to their country. It's not the tariffs on all of the US's former allies but that he has dumped its allies to appease Trumps good friend Putin. I am looking at dismay watching the US go from being the leader of the free world to just another dictatorship run by billionaires, America is Russia. It's up to you America to stop this, no one is going to come to help you. Good luck you are going to need it.

Canada, I hope Trump reconsiders this tariffs war. I have respected and enjoyed the friendly neighbors we've had in Canada. I am a North Carolinian. I support my great President, Donald Trump and he is doing great things that our nation truly needed. We are cleaning the swamp at Washington our government must stop all the spending and account for every tax dollar they spend. I believe Trump will return and reconsider this tariff put on our closest alia Canada. I pray that he does sooner then later.

Yeah yeah just stop with the BS Trudeau,....we've been getting over tariffed for years...and no your border isn't safe...do the research correctly,...and unfortunately we have to push you guys to protect your own border. Remember Canada is a country that won't even pay their nato bill? these guys are full of crap and taking advantage of tariffs is over. Just charge us what's fair. We can't be taken advantage of forever. These people are idiots...we don't need Canada to sustain this country. Time for businesses to come back to the US.

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

Canada needs to close the borders, initiate brown outs to Canada powered US states, and STOP buying damn Tesla's and boycott other Musk businesses along with Trump businesses. They are nothing without their money!! Musk has 13 freaking kids.. make him feel the child support!

You go PM Trudeau - America needs you more than Canada needs America. If America wanted to stop drug movement, it should have gone after those drug thugs instead of going after identifiable by color, hard working men, women and children.

❤Trump need peace...Stop ww3....No more....trump

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.
