Zelensky & Trudeau are both buffoons

Totally correct there Sir,Trump and Vance where way out on line with Zelensky and bet it will back fire on them both.That makes America look weaker than Biden

Screw Canada 's punk Justin. Screw the coke head grifter Zelensky and Europe. Canada has been screwing America for decades in trade. Canada is now a communist shit hole.

It's truly unbelievable how many individuals allow themselves to be gaslighted.....blinded by their TDS it no longer matters if anything is good for America...cnn knows the full context of that meeting and how disrespectful ZELENSKY was...but it doesn't matter showing clips to make trump look bad is what matters

The fun is that Trump does the same misstake as Putin, Zelensky stod up and kicked his as

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

Teacher Zelensky

Its insane to see the amount of people that are being manipulated by politicians only in it for personal gain. Why don't you all take a moment to go google Zelenskys home. Look at it before U.S. aid and after. Oh, wait. I forgot that as soon as that story aired, it was immediately removed from search results the same day. Or the luxury carpets that they spent millions on. So, please enlighten me as to why 2 million dollars worth of carpets are necessary during a war? By the way, that was taken from search results as well. Maybe its because democratic parties have influence over 90% of what we, as americans, use on a daily basis to gather information. I am really not on either side, but isn't the guy speaking here the one that literally resigned like 2 months ago? Everyone is so desperate to hear what they want that they are running right back into this dudes arms.

While I acknowledge that the way Trump and Vance addressed Zelensky could have been more diplomatic, as an American , I cannot justify allocating $360 billion of our tax funds towards resolving another counties war—especially when only half of that amount has been accounted for, and the other half remains untracked. Let that point sink in! The US is currently in $33 Trillion dolars in debt yet giving away money like candy . No other country is contributing money like we are . We simply do not have the resources to continue doing that . Our financial situation is worsening as we print more money to allocate toward other countries. Furthermore, 7% of the $33 trillion of the US debt is owed by other countries , including China . Our funds need to be utilized for our own benefit before being given away. We have veterans on the streets, the elderly suffering because SS isn't covering their basic needs , school system thatvis failing , health insurance unaffordable by most. We need to fix our own issues. We need to feed our own kids before we feed the neighbors, not the other way around.

Well done Trudeau speaking for your country Canada just the same as President Zelensky is speaking up for his country and people ❤

All i can say either you are a veteran or ordinary people, american money is for americans and not for zelensky who is a grifter and a corrupt evil guy like the demonrats

Zelensky and Trudeau are dictators. He does not speak for us Canadians.

As a European, I can say that Europe is next. \nSince the episode with Zelensky, an anti-United States wave has already been noticed

Oh yeah and you had a Nazi war criminal and praise him in your high courts when Zelensky was there looking for a hand out to support Ukraines war machine

After funding a bloody war for 3 years by NATO & US Trump tells Zelensky that he has “no cards left” next in line war criminal Bibi

Trump showed his true color by supporting cold blooded murder Putin and damping Zelensky , by putting tariffs on Canadian products. As Iranian -Canadian citizen I will not buy American products. Shame on Trump.

It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

Trump insists on an apology from Zelensky because he claimes that Zelensky showed him respect - and at the same time Trump calls Justin Trudeau - who is the Prime Minister of Canada - for governor. Talk about showing respect. So I'm going to call Trump a smallminded, vindictive megalomaniac, a pathological liar and a sick narcissistic baby. Nobody respects Trump; they fear him because he is an unreliable madman with a lot of military strenght and (so far) economic strenght he can threaten everybody with. Pictures of Stalin and Hitler must be hanging in his bedroom...

STOP supporting Fushist zelenski! It’s Not your money!

From the uk i stand by trudeau canada and zelensky of ukraine\nAgainst trump and hes puppet j d vance although im not sure wich is the puppet and wich one the muppet ?

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

??‍♀️ Trudeau and Zelensky are ???

Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

Although I was born in the U.S., I quote Jesus... 'my kingdom is NOT of this world.' frump attacking our allies is NOT the way to go. My Father GOD owns ALL of this world, and those who attack God's children WILL be held accountable! Isaiah 54:17 Mr Trudeau, Mr Zelensky, I am praying that frump wakes up or that people here have enough courage to stand up for righteousness.

Zelensky was in no position to make demands. Trump wants the war to stop, zelensky wants firepower. The war needs to come to a stop and we need to stop funding a war involving a country we're not even allied with. \n\nIf you dont agree with tariffs, it means you know that you import way to much shit. Dont like the tariffs, build it in america. Thisnis about american jobs.

Zelensky is a dictator,

Meanwhile zelensky realized he fucked up and is now begging trump for another chance…where’s that news?

Trump is playing golf and JD vence gose snow boarding ?? zelensky at war i sware the government love seeing the people suffe

Trudeau needs to answer why he was meddling with Zelensky and the Ukrainian military since before Putins' aggression...

Ukraine started the war against Russia Zelensky blocked the River going to Russia when he knows that millions of Russian depend on for their everyday life. What will you if your neighbor cut away the water source from you?

The ambush of Zelensky by drumph was personal, and not political! Zelensky refused to open a farcical investigation into Joe Biden. Drumph's perfect phone call asking Zelensky to just say that Biden was being investigated led to Drumph's first impeachment! He hates Zelensky, and will never help him! He's using politics to cover up his personal vendetta! He's mentally ill, and sicker than you think!

As a European having lived in both Canada and the United States for prolonged times, my view is this: Canadians are basically the same as Americans but with Health Care. They have a common heritage and history and this is like a brother turning evil and hurting its siblings. Trump is smart? I don't think so, he comes across as a low IQ individual born with privileges, heck he has been bankrupt what is it four times? Right now he thinks he is making America Great again but instead he is on a path to bankrupt even the US Economy. These kind of things in history often have caused actual physical War and he talks about Zelenski is toying with a 3rd world war. Wouldn't it be funny (and not in a comical sense) if in fact Trump causes the 3rd world war with his actions instead?

Ukraine will sign mineral deal. Zelensky crumbled after embarrassing himself.

It’s amazing how left-leaning individuals like to commend themselves on being “educated” but can’t even define how this war started, or why Biden/State dept. sent billions to Ukraine. Plain and simple, Zelensky was going to sellout, until the state department sent “Red Lines Memo,” which Google search actively buries in other conveniently similar named pieces of information. But it’s out there, straight from the U.S. government. F*** the Russians but F*** the deep state even more, with agendas so well hidden, that we bicker back and forth about “morals.” We, the U.S. citizens have become nothing more than a cog of propaganda since the Smith-Mundt “modernization” Act—allowing US gov to propagandize us.\n\nLet’s think—elected officials officials have classified information but very rarely act on it because it doesn’t align with their constituents concerns. How can the dark corners of FBI, CIA, State department get elected officials onboard? By manipulating what we see and bolstering the voices aimed towards elected officials.\n\nI don’t know if getting into and getting out of Ukraine is/was/will be good for the overall country, but I do know shady tactics have been used to get us there and individuals need to be held accountable.

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

This sounds like the same speech Zelensky gave right before the Rusaian invasion of Ukraine. I think this is where we're going, unfortunately ?

at least President Putin had an election-has zelensky?

Congress and Biden approved grants of 350 millions at least x2 while Hawaiians lost their homes and got 300dol from the government for assistance, North Carolina Republicans were ignored if they had any political signs and many left homeless, California also many left lost their lives and left homeless. The previous government didnt care about its Citizens. Trump is looking out for Americans and Americans tax payer money. Canada and mexico did have open borders for illegal immigration and drugs to come in. Zelensky thinks that Americans work for him and that he can come whenever he wants and demand not just money weapons but troop involvement.

Lots of support for Zelensky, but none want to go fight.

Forget Zelensky starting WWIII ... Trumps the one whose determined to see it happen!!!!

Zelensky is a coke head that’s a fact.

As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

exactly like Zelensky was bullied by jd for costume

And Zelensky isn't a lying killing dictator that Trudeau stands by.

Well said Justin. You are really showing your chops! I You are polite and you have backbone! We have seen such great leadership from Trudeau and Zelensky! How does the world support Canadians?

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

I have had many Canadian friend including my first serious girlfriend. I worked with exchange Candian military folks and saw them as full partners. On D-Day Candian troops had their own beach which the successfully captured. They were by our side in Korea and all of our other wars. DJT's excuses for the tariff are fabricated lies exactly as it made up lies that President Zelensky did not show thanks and appreciation. Why is DJT's admin lying? Is it simply incompetence or something worse?

So trumps agenda is NO WAR! Is that a problem?? Zelensky was here and then flew back to sign the agreement the Dems had a meeting to stop him, then went in with an attitude, you have the ocean to protect you now but maybe not one day! Is that a THREAT! We have you 177 billion, same gdp as all of Europe they gave 18 billion, so stay with them and the USA is done! How disrespectful! The Dems want war, it makes the politicians tons of money

TRUMP telling Zelensky that hes inciting ww3, ugh
