Classy and intelligent response, Canada! As a European, I truly hope that the ties between Europe and Canada will only become stronger. Long live the free and democratic world!

What did I just watch? A democratically elected leader forming coherent sentences?! What sorcery is this?

We have 2 mode in Canada : we are sorry and YOU WILL BE SORRY. Because how americans had voted.By the way, you can complaint only if you vote for the Democrat party. Canadians right now can complaint but we are strong, we are resiient, we never start a war BUT, we never back time when it was time of a war. We join our ally when it was a need.

You all are democrats and cry about all the republican do If you hate your country that much. Get the hell out.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

If the Democrats had run an actual primary, the current president would not be in office!!!

This man is being supported by democrats and now he says he don’t want this \n\nNo more help !!!

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

Canada and us Democrats, it's time to stop being so polite!

I’m glad he spoke to the American people people again, it’s important they have the truth said from others besides the American Democratic Party; the Trump base are constantly constantly being lied to and gas lit by that administration and Republican Elected Officials :

This is how the weak Republicans congress and Democrats need to be saying right now. It is senseless what this sorry Congress/House have done to America in a matter of weeks!!!!!!!!

À nos frères Canadiens : French here, let's unite Canada, Europe, Mexico, and the democratic countries attacked or threatened by Trump and Putin, commercialy or military, and build a new partnership in key domains as commerce, defense, science, ecology research and culture, without the USA. This can lead to a new positive force around the globe. Vive le Canada ❤??

Good for Justin Trudeau. As a Mainer , he has my support 100% ❤ . I love America. But - - our current system, and leadership are Un - democratic! ? They have ruined ? our system of government.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Democrats hate the US

TRUMP WON IN A LANDSLIDE THIS IS WHAT WE VOTED FOR KEEP IT UP DEMOCRATS YOULL KEEP LOSING ?

Global elite WEF talking points against President Trump \nJust like the democrats in the U.S \nAt least they all have the good quality of loyalty --- to the worlds wealthy elite \nRussia Russia Russia gate 2.0

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

Democrat strategy, silence and wait for the chaos and dust to settle, and then wait for the Trump Administration to collapse under the weight of its own incompetence. Brilliant. ?

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

Trump is a dictator and the Democrats must step in and impeach trump and jail all the ones that follow him

I never thought I’d live long enough to watch the fall of our American democracy. And I don’t say this lightly. When we begin these ill thought out and economically foolish trade wars; when we attempt to hurt our allies and neighbors and distance our self from our Democratic partners in favor of communist Russia, how can you say that our democracy is not in jeopardy. And we now have billionaires who are not responsible to the electorate, dictating policy in order to grow their enormous wealth even more and do so unchallenged with the protection of the government, does that not look like a country that doesn’t have long . And to these Republicans, who are spineless and care more about their job, their position and their pocketbook rather than their duty to their country and the constitution, how dare you. Disgrace.

All the Democratic losers Canada is a tool along with governor Justin .. and it’s gonna hurt Canada a lot more than it’s gonna hurt us ???

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

100% behind MY president. You lie Trudeau...your scare tactics make me wonder if you got cutoff of $ like the thieving Democrats.

Prime Minister Trudeau is the REAL leader of the free world. Canada what is wrong with you? You forced this brilliant, compassionate, democratic leader to resign?! Fools. Learn from us and the idiots who voted the bankrupt compromised pathological lying felon into our White House.

Hilarious. An anti democratic leader who has proven to be Pegasus the most single awful Canadian leader. \n\nYou're not polite... you called your own people Nazi's.\n\nLiterally had no idea what he is doing.

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Im so proud to be Canadian. I will take as much hardship to protect our beautiful Canada. Im buying only Canadian products and from countries that stand with democratic principles. My heart goes out to the American people. No citizen would have knowingly voted for the dismantling of their country and the suffering all will feel. Put your political view aside and pull together to save your families and country.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

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.

Canada please look for alternatives as a permanent solution. Else you’re only postponing the problem and wait for a democratic government in the States

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

It takes the PM of Canada to explain to the American people, in very clear and concise terms, the cost of having elected Trump. I've yet to see anything even close from any of our elected Democrats. But maybe, it has to come from someone outside, without the political baggage, even if we did have a strong, articulate political opposition to the Trump and the feckless GOP.

The Americans that know facts support President Trump. \nThose that don't support President Trump are Democrats, ignorant or just stupid people. \nCNN is known to be a place for them to spew their crap. \nTo me CNN is like a place for pigs to wallow in their pigshit. Wallow on.

This is the way a strong leader speaks! Bravo! And now where are the Democratic leaders Schumer und Jeffries, the weakling Democrats? Sleeping and doing book tours?

He sounds\n like a democrat

Well, from a European perspective, Trump is making the US if not an enemy (yet, anyway), surely not an ally or a friend, as you used to be.\nLots of European contracts will be lost - European countries will rely more on each other and Canada, Australia and other countries that we know we can still trust.\nAnd European consumers will move from American products and companies, especially anything Musk related, because people are really bothered and upset here, how easily an erratic madman can take a democratic country into an oppressive, destructive country.\nWe have no issues with the American people, apart from that you voluntarily brought this upon yourselves (and us), although it was screamingly obvious already in 2016.\nAnd you did it twice...

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !

By and large Ukrainians, Europeans, Americans, and Canadians want an end to the war against Russia. Canadians want the opiate catastrophe cleaned up, that 1% is only what the authorities are aware of… plus the liberals & new democrats are pumping a large “safe supply” into our communities! We want our boarders tightened up, and our economy properly, honestly, and transparently managed. Sit down Trudeau… you don’t represent the majority of Canadians. The rest are catching up.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

CNN is useless democrat propaganda

Well put. It's not democrats or republicans. It's the Government as a whole.

Canada must pay the price of supporting the Demons called ''democrats''.

Trump is a fool.He is insane.This is the president you elected.The democrats warned you about this fool.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Do bussinus with the democratic countries left. The US under Trump left the group of democratic countries. Trump is not reliable and he is not a smart man, he is a greedy fascist and relations with fascist are always doomed......

Oh wow. Now everyone is a business expert. Cry to mommy DEMOCRATS

Every Democrat in Congress better be watching and learning from this.
