Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

Canada has been ripping United States for many years. And Trudeau is a crooked politician

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

A American Marine Corp Veteran stands with you Canada. Stay strong. What Maga doesn't realize is there are many 3rd party voters who are going to start working on doing the things that need to be done to throw the road blocks because he has definitely started down the road road to dictatorship.

How many fuckin excuses and explanations this guy is making to defend his country....even now he is kissing trump ass calling him a smart man ???...pathetic

Trump and his Buddy Putin are 2 of a kind. They are downright Vicious! \nInhumane Greed! They will hurt all people! They will meet their Maker and will suffer the consequence of their own actions. They are Completely responsible for the suffering caused to Many many innocent people. Including Americans. They have no Soul! Pure Evil!

Preach Trudeau! The American government is desperately trying to hurt American families & lie about who is truly at fault. Many of us know the truth & who is truly at fault but unfortunately less than half of all voters believed his lies & manipulation & voted for this nightmare. ?

Thank you Trudeau for saying what many many Americans want to say!

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

As an American, I am so sorry ? Many of us stand with Canada and Ukraine, our allies and friends.

I hope the world clearly see that many of us Americans feel like we’re being held hostage by a rogue government.\n\nWe stand behind anyone who can either bring it to its senses, fix it, or take us as refugees. Things are growing increasingly dire… and Republican voters are cheering it on.

Trudeau does not speak for many Canadians.

As a canadian, i have, as many american friends as i have canadian friends. I know very well that any educated and rational american is completely against that group of criminals that took over your beautiful country that i love so much, disguised as a political party for the time of the election. \n\nThere is either a Coup-d-etat, perpetrated by the current richest man in the world who WASN'T elected by americans, OR, a Self-Coup perpetrated by the current administration, replacing great american values and traditions with an unprecedented level racism and removing all diversity, equality and inclusion, sending the United States back to the Stone Age. Love to my american friends who were always there for me ❤????

Americ had fertilizer before NAFTA.. NAFTA ran many American companies into bankruptcy.. one Example is Farmland fertilizer division

It is evident that comments like the one from @robertedward7023 demonstrate many, many people do not know what took place at the meeting before this meeting which should have made this meeting a simple signing of the agreement. VP Vance corrected Zelensky for his attempt to propagate his agenda and now that Germany, France and others--as NATO countries--have jumped in, there could be consequences resulting in war if they continue to push for it. As far as Trudeau, he is on his way out according to his own resignation and he has just done Canada wrong with the faulty reasoning. I thank all military veterans for their service, but I do not approve of what they say blindly.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.

Very proud of my Prime Minister today. Half my family is American - which is true for many of us - but the USA has declared economic warfare on us. As hard as it is to believe, it’s actually happened. The USA we used to know is gone forever.

During the 2nd world war many people sought refuge in Canada not the US I guess people knew then already how untrustworthy that country and its citizens actualky are

Please know PM Trudeau, there are a great many of us in the US who don't want this either and want to remain friends with our neighbors to the north. Shame on Trump and his broligarchy!

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

Canada will be fine! It's the Americans that will be tariffed by many countries by the time the lunatic is done. He will burn that country to the ground. We'll see who's still standing! I'm not all that worried because besides food, which we've easily replaced what do we get from the US? Nothing we can't get elsewhere. However, the US needs our resources. The lunatic is going to speak to Canadian's later today. Someone tell him we won't be listening!

I would advise Canada to make it easier for Americans to move there and bring their wealth. I know many who want to leave USA like I did.

Canada was off my radar for many years, always regarded it as a peaceful US neighbor and an ally of the free world. Now the current affairs ignited my admiration for Canada and will be lasting forever.This reinforces the fact that Canadian lives lost in WW2 will not be in vain.

Donald is negatively impacting Americans in many ways. I believe American tourism will suffer a lot this summer.

You have been taking advantage of the USA. noe that Americans want trade parity, you complain. you are abusive. Speaking of Russia to undercut America, you forget your suppottbto theSikhs terorits. toy have been ponging on theccmricans, nd now that aAmerican President, best in many years, has called off your taking advantage, you cry. GROW UP. YOU GOT THERE YOUR FTHER WAS PM. BUY CONT NOT GET MOB IN GHA MARKETS. THATY ISA HOW SMALL YOU ZR.

We don't want this, and many of us don't want Trump either. When will US citizens wake up? Impeach Trump! Trump is the human wrecking ball and I did not vote for this moron.

Trump and Musk are both CON men. Trump went bankrupt many times but this time he will take the entire country down with him. God help America.

You and your country are admirable! I am an American and I completely oppose what the Trump administration is doing with these tariffs. I will be buying Canadian and Mexican whenever possible, and have changed my European vacation plans to spend my vacation dollars in Canada this spring and in Mexico this fall.\n\nI am impressed with the alternative trade agreements Canada is developing. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant and do not understand the negative effects that tariffs and trade wars have. They will learn soon enough!

So many followers commenting on what a strong leader looks like. Sit down. You couldn't lead a ? out of your own ass. Don't speak on what you don't know.

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

This will cause short term pain to Canada but long term pain to the US. Canada has many natural resources that many other countries want

Trump has sold the lie that tariffs will pay for many great things. 1-It's a direct-to-consumer tax. 2-History has proven that tariff wars are bad for all concerned. P.S. Warren Buffet recently said that if all US corporations paid taxed like his companies do, We'd have no need for income taxes. Trump works from the other end of the tunnel that Ideally no taxes for corporations, and the wealth will trickle down and bless us all.

It completely baffles me to hear such filth and ignorance coming from so many Americans commenting here. It has to be Russian bots right?!?

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

nice try Canada and we the people love you. but we've had half the country brainwashed by a russian operative and his rich weirdo nazi-wannabe's. and the under educated have been lied to endlessly into believing this is good somehow. ? when we figure our shit out we'll come back and ask for your friendship again. really, people of canada, it hurts so many of us to be doing this to the world. im so sorry.

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

Trump administration requires good economists rather than Musk. Hurting his own people , NATO countries and other countries by tarriff war, is act of creating many enemies simultaneously.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

Serves Canada right as are many other countries. We have relied to much on America for too long. \nIn the long run this is better because we will become stronger and more independent.

Im ready to do my part and buy as many American made products as possible. \n\nIts time to rip off the bandaid and bring production back to the US

Trump is weakening America, he is weakening Canada, he is weakening Mexico, and for what? \n\nMaking it easier for Putin to threaten Canada. Maybe Trump wants to annex Canada to have our minerals, water, oil and our access to the Arctic sea.\n\nEurope, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and many more are fed up with the Musk/Trump combo.

I truly hate that so many of us are being lumped in with the traitors that are running the government now. We did not vote to have a convicted felon in the seat of the president or all the unqualified IDGITS that were appointed to serious decision-making positions that can destroy this country. For the traitorous, racist, sexist, stupid, and pathetic losers who voted for the destroyers of america, there is a space in hell for you all! Disgusting!!!!!

By the way JD Vance you supposed to be from Kentucky you're no longer welcome in Kentucky the Kentucky people spit on you we do not want you back in Kentucky you're not welcome come to McDonald's and buy you a cheeseburger and see how many pounds of spit you get on it JD Vance

Being the US's neighbor wasn't a choice. It's geography. For decades we worked together to create a safe and friendly border. Then a broken and rotted manchild fooled the ignorant into voting his toxicity into power and all that work stands to fall. I'm sure there are many Canadians that agree with me when I say, how I wish we could simply paddle our land over to the EU AWAY from the crumbling US, which will soon be welcoming the likes of putin and Kim Jong Un with open arms.

Why do you not allow America banks in your country while we have many? Why does the USA subsidize Canada with billions of tax payers dollars? This man is a liar and is out of a job in 2 weeks. I stand with my President Dj Trump.

Ukraine 3 years of USA money and artillery to fight a war that impossible to win with his country flattened his people killed soldiers women and children that European country's have sat back an watched waffing what the USA should do \nIreland own people living on the streets with 100.000 Ukraines taking up housing with able body men here that's suppose to to be soldiers living it up here \nEurope are sitting back prompting him what he needs in guarantees from the USA \nHow many more must die for him , Crazy while he spoofs from country to country for arms and money with billions already wasted \nTrump is correct, to stop funding a war , its peace he wants people need cop on \nFunding more money to maim and kill will not make peace
