I am so sorry my country has lost its way. I am so sorry this is happening. Most of us wanted peace and balance, and we did not want trump.

Honestly, who gives a heck about US products? They are trash either way!

I appreciate other countries fighting back. It’s going to take serious action to stop Trump. I want all countries to help to stop Trump. I couldn’t with my vote for VP Harris. Perhaps now his supporters will understand what they have done by voting for Trump. It didn’t have to be this way.

JT has a way with words, man. Insanely good public speaker.

Trudeau is an idiot on his way out. He should keep his idiot mouth shut.

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength. Thank you Canada for accelerating Trump’s way out of the WhiteHouse.-from a FilAm ?? ??

Way to go, Trudeau. Say it straight up. Even the Wall St Journal says what you're doing Donald, is dumb.

Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing the dis respect zylynski showed. He triggered Trump when he said that we were going to feel war on our soil although we are shielded by an ocean. He never wanted to do a cease fire. Aka stop the killing now. Today. Than negotiate the securities. Which Trump said would be easier to do. Stop the war. And the part where we are not getting our money back where with the other nations it is a loan. That is probably the underlying reason why the hesitation by zylynski. \nAs far as tradeau. He reminds way to much of newsom…

Is Trump’s performance in the Oval Office really what the GOP equates to strength? Kicking our ally while they’re down, who’s been fighting one of our supposedly greatest adversaries who invaded their country? Berating him for not wearing a suit, or not being grateful enough, or being too hateful to the man who invaded his country and kidnapped Ukraine’s children? If this is strength, why doesn’t he treat Putin this way? It’s only weaker allies where he pounds his chest. Bully. Coward.

Lmao ??? Trudeau is on his way out Trump is going too make Canada great again. Trump is resetting geopolitics. Get ready world.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

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!

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

Take into account the fact that this guy arrested, confined, fined and confiscated property of his own fellow Canadians citizens and starved people out during the pandemic. Canada has not prospered but will thrive if they make the deal with America. Globalists are kicking and screaming all the way down.

@robertedward7023 It can but I think Trump is right on this one. Zelensky needs to realize that he won't get his land back that Russia took, and that negotiating is the only way to come to peace now. He's living in a fairytale world fighting an unwinnable war. I think the US is right to pull the plug on financial aid to try to pressure Zelensky to negotiate to end the war. Unfortunately, to end the war Ukraine will likely have to concede the land they lost. But the reality is Putin will never give that land back. But it's better than more people dying everyday. Zelensky has gotten all too comfortable relying on financial aid and as a result he hasn't been willing to try anything new (like negotiate) to get this war finished. If we keep sending him money, nothing will change. Now he has pressure to negotiate. the US and Canada can't keep sending money to Ukraine for the next 20 years while this war carries on.

4 more years Canada, We will learn from the mistakes trump has made. I pray we keep all the working men, women and their families safe from extreme inflation and help them in every way possible. As a non government citizen of Canada. I can confirm that we are doing this as a last resort. Trump is destroying your country.

We want Trump to stop. He is turning America into a Dictator. Tired of his gangster ways. We are so so sorry Canada.

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?

Trudeau has the nerve to say that the US-Canadian border is safe and secure. But in Paliament he regularly complains about illegal items flowing over that same safe and secure border. You cant have it both ways Prime Minister. \n\nAlso, fentanyl has legitimate medical uses. So saying that you are going to wipe Fentanyl from the face of the earth is odd.

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

There is no way Agent Orange can pay attention through an entire 22 minutes.

Why has this guy just grown a pair of balls now on your way out of office. Unbelievable

Trump is forcing good people to act in ways they would not normally.

I just realized that the USA has become like Russia in yet another way: We cannot trust our president's words.\nAlso: That woman behind Trudeau looks genuinely proud.

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

Listen to the details people.... We get energy, building materials and fertilizer from Canada.. he forgot to mention cars. Nothing we can't do ourselves. We are fully energy independent... We do not need to import. Prices will drop. Cars... Trump is bringing back manufacturing... Prices will drop. Fertilizer... I mean shit and rotten food is not hard to get. Building material... We send them more than they send us. \n\nYou cannot just run on emotion. Thats what he is stirring in you. Look at the way he twist things. Is he directly lying... No... But he is cherry picking details. Canada gets a lot more from us than we do them and what we get from them is rapidly decreasing and he is in panic mode.

Very smart Canada !! Just close border of Canada and USArussia , let’s USArussia have their way , good job Canada ???????

What is happening at the border to stem the flow of fentanyl INTO Canada from the U.S., I wonder? I suspect the flow is larger that way than vice versa.

After ten years of this pathetic panty-waist and his Band Of Buffoons tearing Canada apart, on his way out, he finally grows a spine. What a dork. Thanks for nothing, Turd.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

US will crush it, they need us way more than we need them. I would live in a ditch and eat grass just to see this smarmy grifter go down. They obviously don't understand how sick of these people we are.

Man, nobody's afraid of that.Soy boy, French Frank Castro one of the weakest, so-called men.I've ever seen in my life.Bad guy couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag????

I am disappointed. ? Trump, Musk, and Vance have put the US in a bad light. Trump is a wrecking ball of hate and ignorance. There is no working with him. Its his way or no way. There is no compromise. This is what MAGA did. This is what Elon did when he tempered with the voting machines in the swing states. The problem is you thought you were working with Trump and you both were friends. But the truth is he was not. He was working to set you up and stab you in the back.

Pay up the same way America does. Canada has tarrifs on America, but you cry when America puts tarrifs on your country. Man up little man. ????????????????

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!

Well done Canada from UK. I wish he wasn't resigning as he has a way of rallying people

Make it hurt, Canada. I stand with you. We Americans deserve this. Tesla also deserves 100% tariff. The only way Americans win is if we lose this stupid tariff war.

Wasn't this jackass supposed to step down? Why is he acting like he cares now on his way out?

Trump wants to make America great again. Well, he has a strange way of doing it its time

Who cares what this grifter thinks? He’s a short-timer who has fucked his country over and now he’s looking to make a splash before the door hits him in the ass on the way out.

Canada just wants more free shit with one way tarriffs they hate it that we want them to dbe equal to yhe way they have treated us

This is Putin's way to divide and conquer the West and Trump is a tool in Putin's arsenal.

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

Cnn gone duh way of daiper boi...!!!?????????

Excellent speech! As a Portuguese and European, I will do everything I can to support and help Canada in any way possible!

I can't believe people are still baffled about the scumbag trumps affection for putin? The scumbag is compromised 9 ways to Sunday when it comes to his decade's long connections with Russia, so putin has him by the balls for committing international financial crimes that would make wanted worldwide. This shit ant rocket science people.

Trump works for Putin. The goal is to destroy America in every possible way. Once you accept that, everything Trump does makes perfect sense.

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

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!
