Putin is hoping the US loses all its allies. I’m surprised Trump doesn’t just call it the gulf of Russia.

Trudeau would never say that directly to trump get real its all a show. Have fun asking for wars and backstabbing your only allies Canada

We are so embarrassed and mortified by this idiot’s lies, disgusting disrespect to all of our allies for a Nazi sadistic dictator like Puton. I am so sorry on behalf of all Americans.

All I heard was about all this wonderful stuff you did… AFTER being threatened with tariffs. Why not before? \nWhy does your BFF ally have to threaten tariffs before you place all of these wonderful things in place?

My apologies to the world for Trump's and Vance's betrayal to our allies and their embarrassing bullying and pompous attitude shown towards President Zelenskyy. I and many other Americans are sincerely sorry for Trump's actions .

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

America going against its allies for a communist party?????\nEnd of days...

This is a small voice from Asia. I would say that the world is watching this event interestingly. U.S. policy can turn around 180° with just one person. You can do this to your friend, your ally. Can anyone trust you anymore?

In 1990, a friend had told me that when the WW3 happens, it will be between Russia together with US against Europe and Allies.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

he wants to conquer canada... hes not worried about his russian allie ships.. telling dolnad all about the new security system at canadas southern border was brilliant.... id also start stockpiling ammo canada, which hurts ukraine... welp arms exports can help fund canada through the trade wars... need help? plenty of NATO countries will help u... UK has some pretty good stuff.

This will hurt Americans more than it will hurt Canadians because they have allies. And Canada still on the British rule in somewhat.

Trump is stabbing all your allies in the back. You have your precious second amendment but you won't even grab your torches and pitchforks.

Justin is.gonna be gone soon. And Trump is going to wait. And the next leader of Canada will be an ally of Trump

Great job DONALD. Now, europe hates America, canada/mexico hates America, asia hates America.\nAnd America’s new ally is Russia.\nGreetings from Germany??\nGive us back our cars. And give the French back the Statue of Liberty

I am Canadian. My heart breaks for Canada. The US always being our ally, now it will become our enemy only because of one man's unjustified and irrational move. God help us!!

Hope the U.S learns that allying with Russia won’t be a good thing for them

As a European I must agree with Wesley Clark. Things have changed a lot since he took office. Most people here sees the US more as an enemy than an allied now! Let that sink in MAGA people if you can... He has made everything upside down. Supporting Russia WTF? We knew he was insane, but this is getting way out of hand! \nThis is not going to make america great again (what utter BS). Instead every history book in the future will talk about the time when the US went mad and lost its way, losing all credibility and trust it ever gained.

Trump is a crazy immoral liar who wants to be a dictator and he’s trying to ruin the country so that he can be. I hope the people who voted for him are happy. It was clear, and he even described what he would do. I am very sorry it is hurting our friends and allies, as well as the U.S. people, especially Canada, Germany, and France..

People have the right idea of talking to trump directly and make it clear that he just took sides with Russia over his allies in democracy and freedom,something that no other president would do allow a dictator to invade a country and blackmail the country that is being invaded just for it mineral and don’t have a statement of giving help. I don’t respect trump or his family they are standing by his side as he destroys the country what kind of people are they are they that corrupt the whole family is willing let their father or let her husband do what he doing without saying anything to stop the corruption.

The countries that consider US as their ally should be aware.

Trump needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that we need to fight the enemy and not our allies

What is Trump looking for by making troubles to all the countries military or economicaly allies of America??What the h..l is he looking for?And Why can't we hear a single blame on Ruzzia???

Trump is only interested in isolating America from its allies and, with Putin's assistance, to take complete control.

Trump is KGV no longer an Allied to Canada

Got to admit , I didn’t expect this really happening to Canada. Let’s get this overturned. These are our allies. Canadians don’t blame the American people.

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Trump's mission: To separate all US allies from one another! To better serve the main evil, namely Russia!!

We believe Canadian leaders like Mr. Trudeau. As Americans,we have been abused for years by Trump,who is his own kind of terrorist, using deceit,treachery and cruelty. Millions of us are resisting,protesting and praying to restore a place among our allies in other countries and in the United States.

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Trump is one of those people thatbwants to watch the world burn and know he caused it.. only one month in ? ...if he lasts his term hes going to have the usa so screwed up and everyone hungry broke and no more allies ... and the americans will watch it happen and cheer..

Look americans who voted trump america will be great for loosing friends and allied around the world the only friend with you is putin.

Trump speak just like a third grader , bullying and disgraceful. But I blame them idiots that voted for him back in the office. They will be suffering the pain that he caused .\nCanada supposed to be our friend, our ally why He started the trade war with ?

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

It takes a very evil person to try and turn Canada into an enemy while turning Russia into an ally.

I wish he would not say US. But Drumpf. I DO NOT ALLY WITH RUSSIA, NOR DO I CONDONE THE TARRIFFS ON OUR ALLIES (OLD ALLIES).

Trump have Allied with Putin , abandoning Its closest allies...\nTrump and Mudk interest is to enriched themselves

Trump wants to destoy relation to ALL US ally..need THE ROCK 2.0 and G.I JOE 2.0..just saying

Yall are mad because America wants to play fair now, you're an ally not a state womp womp dont be mad when Americans prioritize their needs first. Tarrifs will make the lifes of all Americans better in the long run aka less taxes. Our country has been depleted and its time we woroked on ourselves. Prime example California? hole.

How many times Donald declared bankruptcy? Looks like under him his country will go bankrupt. He is becoming friends with Putin, who is everyone's enemy and turning his friends and allies into foes. I was happy when he came to power and now I am sad for everyone including the Americans.

So America's only ally will be Russia and N Korea now? Wow, I wish I was an american so I could feel great again and swear my allegiance to the dumb fkn orange moron

As an American I am appalled by the actions of my government. I stand with you Canada, our great friend and ally. I did not vote for and do not stan with the fascist authoritarian clown running our country into the ground.

what happen to you now USA?!!! ? your allies are backing down. ??

trump is just a COMPLETE idiot .... we want CANADA as an ALLY !!! they love us & all you MAGA supporters DID THIS ! ?‍?

At the rate Trump is quarreling with his allies, it's not far fetch to say that he might not be able to finish his second term in office. He may be assassinated or overthrown by the military.

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

I feel sad and embarrassed ? I once was proud of our Country. This is the first time we are having trouble with our own allies. Make this make sense ?This Canadian leader is articulate and ? correct.

who is your ally

dont blame Trump, he's under pressure from his boss putin to fight against US allies.

Prime Minister Trudeau, please be aware that Americans the majority of the Americans today do not stand with this…. I truly believe most Americans have woke up they had the FAFO and do not condone him aligning himself with Putin. You’ve been more respectful by even calling him Donald because I call him either this or 45. Thank you for being true our true allies to America.
