As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. President Zelensky please don't give in to Trump.

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.

Mr. Trump has no friends. He has willing personnel or unwilling enemies. If you have nothing to give, you are uninteresting. And you only have to give to him. Poor America...poor world.\nStand firm, Canada! ❤

SLAM DONK 100% LOVE THIS SPEECH, LET'S GO CANADA HOME RUN ,GIVE HIM MORE ????.

As a Canadian I can confirm times will be tough for a certain period of time but I can assure you that we will never give up ! Let's goo Canada

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

Yes Fentanyl is a terrible thing. But I know for a fact its the 1st thing they give you in the hospital now a days in Canada for pain not sure about the United States. Obviously in very very small doses but im sure the price us right.

Elon Musk should not be able to cross the border to Canada again and that go's to anyone with an Canadian citizenship who thinks Canada should be the 51 State should give up their Canadian citizenship and move to the United States.\nI'm proud to be Canadian\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMcCuHal3jA\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOaLI4rgLk

Canada is the most useless ally. Trump all the way. I give it a month until he bends the knee.

Yet Canada hates him right now, Just as much as all of you hate Trump. Trump never said he sided with Russia and I really wish all of you dimwits would donate your personal money, or personally volunteer to step on the front lines. They have no manpower and y'all are idiots to think that it makes sense to give a country backing after they're the ones who threaten to join NATO and clearly most of y'all don't even know that NATO started this bullshit by going against their promises to Russia and they have added eight former Soviet countries to their union. At this point I'm okay with giving half of the US to the libtards So you guys can pay taxes to fund every other country but your own. Yuck.

Who opened the border to those who came to Canada in the name of student and ended up to the U.S.? Now you feel the pain of this kind of war but why you did help them arrest Huawei's princess? You should step down and give the next leader opportunity to handle this situation. Trump won't make deal with you.

Know what it is is Canadian Canada is standing up with the EU, which has basically been fucking the United States for so long and all the Democrats have gotten in all y’all‘s bureaucratic fucking heads which is not Democrats no more they are bureaucrats American people are tired of it we are tired of paying debts while others set back and enjoy their lives while the American people slave because every one resents us they don’t give a shit about us

What is it all about! , The top 1% want the war machine wants and needs war! To give the false sense that we’re all united against the enemy! Europe is no longer a battleground for war. The Europeans are too smart! Wag the dog scenario, create an enemy for America And use Canada as the battleground so simple.

Trump is smart. it's blackmail, he scares you with 25% tarrifs. then he will say, we can deal now for 15% or 10 BUT you need to give me this and give me that like minerals etc... if we dont well then our Canadien compagnies will either shut down or they will have to move to the States and than will give new jobs in the States. lol there you go win win for the States. Nothing good for Canada or others. He also said if tariff dont work to kill Canadien economie to absorb Canada then he would take it by force.

What do you mean closest ally? You don’t even have Boy Scouts let alone an army that can defend your country! Well you will get what you give, and you can raise your tariffs all you want, ours will automatically match yours! So you cannot compete , you are a lier and you are out as the loser leading Canada to communism! Canada has no choice to join Trump!

Why are you giving this lying piece of shit of a prime minister any airtime whatsoever I agree with the fact that Trump is going a little overboard with the tariffs but to listen to this guy nobody in Canada wants to even see this man's face so by you even putting it on there just basically makes your station that less credible

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.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

I am an AMERICAN 100%...born & raised...\nI don't give 1 shit for anyone other than AMERICA...I don't care about CANADA, MEXICO, UKRAINE. \n..NO ONE!!!!

Trudeau driving Canada further into the poor house again, giving Canadians the finger before he is FINALLY gone for good !!

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

Donald and Musk don't give a shit about Americans, let alone about Canada. The CIA should stage a coup in the US itself for a change, and it would be their only justified coup.

WOW U ALL R MAKING THIS MAN A ROCKSTAR JUST BY THIS ONE INTERVIEW ??? PPL STOP GOING BY ONE INTERVIEW THIS MAN HAS TURNED ON HIS OWN COUNTRY BUT U GO BY HIS DEMEANOR AND U ALL FORGET WHAT HE HAS DONE HES A DAMN TRADER BUT WOW HOW WE FORGOT THAT HE CANT B TRUSTED AND BELIEVE ME TRUMP ISNT NOTHING BUT PUTTING HIS PPL FIRST!

WOW WHAT THE MEDIA DOES TO EVERYONE DO UR RESEARCH BEFORE BELIEVING A TRADER, OWE THOSE R FACTS RESEARCH TRUDEAU IS A TRADER DONT BELIEVE ME RESEARCH SHIT BEFORE YALL MAKE COMMENTS

I dont know how Canada kept this guy in office so long. Real snake oil salesman. Trudea does not give a crap about Americans, he doesnt even care about Canadians, hes made that clear during his time as PM.

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

America gives Canada $300 billion a year. I think this guy can just keep quiet

We need to stop giving Canada 2 trillion a year we get nothing out of it. Stop giving him that and we can solve our own problems about trade. Donald Trump is smart. Don’t fool yourselves we’re gonna make out in the long run.

while canada doesnt want to be 51 state, there’s Taiwan licking Trump and giving them 100billion USD in chip investment in Arizona, Trump’s happy right now

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

Canada and Mexico both complied with his demands. Give him and inch..

Canada's president can give a concise speech without ever using teleprompters. Maybe the U.S. can become a province of Canada.

I was born in the US and have had pride in my country -- IN THE PAST. Not now and not as long as my fellow citizens and our legislators back trump and vance and musk. I support Canada and Mexico and Ukraine and the Palestinians. Drugs are the LEAST of our worries in this country. Giving our government to an oligarch like musk is our biggest issue as well as getting in bed with putin.

I give canada 3 days to back down

Trump has declared war on all of the US allies, but has decided to give his new ally Russia and buddy Putin a pass. Isn’t it clear by now, that Trump and the GOP are clearly Russian assets?; there is no other plausible explanation for what has happened with Mexico, Canada, Europe and of course Ukraine. Trump is obviously working together with the Russians, to create a new World order led by Putin, with Trump as his second in command. The GOP are traitors.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.

export to EU, we also have the goods you need. Simple. Let go of that small country, untill they are grate again 4 years from now, after elections (if there ever be another one, in trumpistan desunited states)\n\n\nHo, by the way, mister Zelensky will start peace talks with EU, WITHOUT INVITING UZA, and make a contract ripping of 50% of theyre resources for no reason or warranties and give alf of UZA to Canada ?

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

Trudeau you don't give a hoot about Canada

Anyone on the planet would give anything to have a neighbour like Canada. Justin Trudeau, the world is witnessing how you have risen up to a bully and protected your country and your people. America is run by a goon, and Russia is happy about it.

Make no mistake this liberal dictatorship Wants these tariffs. Who collects all of the money on the US goods that do Get bought up in Canada. Trudeau and his cronies are salivating at all the money that they’re gonna have coming in And he couldn’t give a crap about the average Canadian

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.

Give us hell canada. Its he only way to get rid of this administration

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

The way things are we essentially give away 250 billion to Canada. Stop crying.

The irony is, Canada will take measures to address the cost of living. The US will keep giving $$$$ to billionaires. Trump/ Republican's do not care about everyday people.

Give Canada what they want! They may seem nice but a darkness lurks underneath!
