Canada's $63 billion trade imbalance is a bigger issue. your telling trump the last time he was in the white house you would be spending 2% of your GDP on the military by 2024. Now you say you will get to 1.8% by 2027. Open your trade. Like JD Vance said we can keep going up on Tariffs until you balance trade.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

As an US resident, I am in no way in agreement with our government…..I hate the fact that our closest neighbors for centuries hate us. I am depressed every single day since Trump entered the White House the first time. Our former and greatest president allowed me a reprieve but now I am thinking about moving from this country due to my extreme depression. Our family helped build this country as we were here before the revolutionary war. I was expecting a nice retirement and Trump and his cronies are making that impossible by possibly stealing our social security that I was told was I would get back for the last 50 yrs. I certainly understand why other countries do not like us…….I do not even talk to my family anymore as I voted for the prosecutor and they voted for the felon.

Trump wants war, not peace. Off with this trumpy scam at the White House!

It's going to hurt, blame The vulgar psychopath felon in the white house.. I don't blame Canada, I support them

Wow. This guy is making some real sense. What a difference with Putin's puppet in the White House in Washington.

It used to be Reds under the bed but now it is Reds in the bed at the White House with Donald Trump.

what a joke of a russian asset you have put in the white house... condolences to the world.

Good for you Justin. As an American senior, I am afraid for my life. If they take my social security and health care, I will be homeless and die. Please, everyone, fight that bastard in the white house anyway you can.

We don’t want this either Canada, at least not the majority of us. I’m sorry for the mess we’ve brought to you and hope our government can move swiftly to “correct” this issue that is the orange blob in the White House

All should put taxes to trump not us people but to trump until he leavs white hous

Trump didn't understand a single word of this speech. Right now the white house staff are making drawings so Trump can understand it.

From Sweden. We support Canada and Ukraine! Kick the orange russian asset turd out of the white house!

It’s time the world leaders stop that idiot in the White House!!

? Hey Amigos! With Trump back in the White House you better get used to eating Frijoles ?\nHoly Guacamole ?the price of avocados is going to make you cry.?

Very professional ? \nNo gutter language, no tantrum, no name calling, or disrespecting anyone, unlike the baby in the White House.\nJT got the message across in a very clear manner. \nThank you JT for being a good ambassador for Canada ??

NEWS FLASH !! President Trump stopped all shipments of military equipment to Ukraine....A few hours later..... Zalinski has just messaged that he wants to sign the mineral deal with president Trump..He regrets how the meeting went at the White House. and he wants peace as soon as possible... Canada...all you have to do is STOP THE FENTINAL..and INVASIONS OF ILLIGALS.stop trusting Trudeau. He is leaving..He has been a dictator with your truckers and farmers. President Trump says Canada has to do more to secure its borders...and it DOES.

We are sorry that the buffoon in the white house is causing issues we r truly sorry and we support you Canada

I like this guy. That being said, would i buy a Canadian Chevy Camaro? How about a helicopter? Does he not hear his people screaming about the cost of living?\n Houses,medical, school,crime all out of control. \n King Trump is Canadians white knight! Better economics, better travel and best of all American votes. If they want to fight...vote!

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

The american people put a Felon into the White House! - What could go wrong.\n\nCanadians have a statesman in office.

America needs to wake up you have a convicted felon of a dictator in the White House decide everyone’s faith!!!!

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

American peoples has to pay such a madness from White House.

This is highly dangerous to have a pathological liar in the White house, who badly wants to be somebody and respected but don't have it in him.

I want a President who is knowledgeable and speaks so eloquently like Mr. Trudeau. Not all of us wanted Orange Man in the White House. I know who I voted for. And it wasn’t Trumpet.

Someone has to stop the traitor in the White House!

Impeachment time? God please get both of those clowns out of the White House.

The White House has fallen to Putin

Truth be told ..Trump wants to be like Putin \n\nHe's kissing Putin's ass The only reason why he brought zelinsky to white house was to behave like a high schooler bullying with all his coonin minions \n He's made a mockery out of the presidency of America He's an ass licker for Putin and a buffoon.

In the line of the White House Madness, I expect that Trump now will raise the tariffs again with 25%.....For him the World is the enemy. No matter of they are allies or foe's... Connecting with Putin? That will not last, watch and see...

Trump is clown oligarchy controls White House save America ?? before it’s too late

Here in the UK, we see and hear very little from Trudeau, but we’ve seen and heard quite a bit from him since last Friday’s White House debacle… Been VERY impressed with him, what he has said and how he has said it… Especially using Trump’s own “big things’ language…

It is time to understand Trump only exposes pretext that aren't really his concerned he just want to have an excuse to do what he wants to do and this is grabbing some resources punching external allies etcetera it is time to understand that nothing will please Donald Trump government so it is time to bypass America this is very sad for some of us that have made business with American businesses and companies it is not easy it is not good to overnight rethink everything because of that guy in the White House

Marco Rubio, What is your job? Are you Secretary of State? Or just the White House bouncer of distinguished guests? You are being cut out and ignored. This was not the case in the US Senate.

Declaring a trade war against Canada has ring the craziest thing. CANADA? ?? yeah that dude at the White House is loosing his marbles.

I’m American. Never voted for the MAGA party - it’s all too obvious. Sickening by the way Zelenskyy was treated in our White House - TRump and Vance looked primitive and devolved when they desperately tried to look “strong”. We stand with democracy.

Fantastic - wow! I‘m in awe! This is the antithesis of all the braindead gibberish that comes out of the White House. Go Canadians!

We understand it's not your fault. As a us 16 year Army National Guard Veteran. I approve this message and agree 100% with. TRUMP WATCH ⌚️. Trump as turned against the American and our friends. We want you out of the White House. No one voted for this.

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!

Trump is puppet of Putin, USA you have a soviet in the white house

We have obnoxious pigs in the White House. Sorry Canadians... Sorry World... I’m so ashamed…

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken clearly, with dignity and truth. I feel safe saying Canadians are in this for the long haul, until the clown and his circus are removed from the White House. Never underestimate the resolve of a pissed off Canadian. Elbows up. ??

Does the U S peace plan Place Putin in the HAGUE OR THE WHITE HOUSE ? ?

Lord please help us! Please defeat Krasnov, the enemy from within our White House who is Putins puppet

What happens when ya vote a ? to White House

Wow, I fucking hate the felon that is sitting in the white house

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.
