Give me a break you will roll over like a dog! We are done with Canada !! Who gives a shix about your products! No one cares! Hell yes I stand for Trump!!!! Don’t you talk about Trump like that you piece of shix!

Don't let Trump bully you into giving in. We support Canada not MAGA!

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

Canadian people are fine, it’s just you we don’t like. We will not align with you, you think like Biden no thank you. Same with Europe. We are Free and not giving that up. We outlawed fertilizer fool. Just set on your poison

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America gives ukraine money, and now they're switching on them..?

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.

Trump wants Ukraine to bow to Russia so Russia can access its resources, thereby giving America Access to these resources, wherein Russia and America will become separate and independent joint super Powers. I cry and pray for the world.

Where the hell was this guy for the last 9 years? Now he finally gives his balls a tug.

How much did YOU give to Ukraine? Ok clown

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

He gives no Fs about fentanyl he wants your land gonna squeeze you in hopes that you will join the US and if you like Healthcare I would say dont do it no matter what

?‍♂️ Canada wasn’t buying our shit anyways. They put Canadian business first, which is good. \n\nNow we’re gonna give that a try.

Give Trump HOLY HELL!!!?????..?\nMake Trump resign!!! ?

I guarantee you 100% World War III because of what this idiot Dump is doing! He is snugging up to Putin and Russia, eventually this will go sideways and war will break out. Maga and republicans probably thing Im a moron who has no clue. I give it 6 months!

I don't know about you you but the $66.5B we've given to Ukraine could've been used here to give to our veterans. It's time we stopped getting screwed and put our nation and our people first. Zelensky is an ungrateful petulant boy. They can fight their own battle. We have enough problems at home to deal with. It's time someone with balls stepped up. Good job Trump let's make us great.

The fact the Canada is g9nna help their citizens thru this tariff war yet Trump is not doing anything close to helping American citizens, shows that Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone. Trump just opened a more profitable business route between Mexico and Canada.

Trump killed All Americans freedoms today Trump has alined himself with Putin Stand up all Americans don't give a fist pump to Trump as he hands us all to Putin and Elon regeim Soviet rule If you have travel plans Americans are not welcome around the world Pay attention

When foolishness impregnates dummy, it will give birth to Trump/Vance\nThose who refused to see beyond their noses and voted for chaos and irrationality will live to face their stupidity

This nepotistic kid who was born into a family of privilege supports separatists like Khalistan, and gives free passage to tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees - who are on a path to islamise Canada!!!

If trump will take putin side would you still give him minerals? World already trust America to lead most of military…

Wow! American here. I just scrolled through hundreds of responses, looking for idiots spouting maga talking points, and did not find a single one. This gives me hope. I just hope MAGA comes to their senses before our economy is ruined. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, and thank you, Canada.

@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.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Shut off oil delivery and natural gas. I know you do not want to do this, you have no choice. I live in Michigan, and working with Canada has always been a give. The auto industry is important. I pray for the end of this quickly.

The only thing Canada gives to us is oil and some auto parts. Other than that. Nada. 75% of Canada's exports are purchased by United States consumers. Without the U.S., Canada would crumble.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

As a US citizen, I apologize on behalf of this corrupt administration. I certainly didn't vote for the ??, and I'm not sure how anyone could have... yet, here we are. Half of the US certainly deserves it, and I fully understand the need for extreme measures at this point. What he did to Zelenskyy and what he is doing to our allies...yall do what ya gotta do. Half of us are rooting for Canada, Ukraine, and our allies. Idk what's wrong with the other half, but its shameful to say the least. It was never about fentanyl. Trump doesn't give half of a fuck if people die from fentanyl or otherwise.

I just can believe what Trump's government is doing, he's not even hiding it anymore, isolating the US and giving your country to the hands of Russia and going forward of China. Americans must do something about this, remember that a Country is governed by the people and not by few thugs! \nFrom Italy all of this is really hard to watch.

You canadians never give up! Still standing no matter what the wicked wants to do!! ❤

For all of you supporting Zelenskyy, the man cannot even account for $100 billions -- yes, billions with a B -- given to his country, and his stupidity plays right into the hands of starting WWIII, if we're not in it already. Ukraine is just another source of money laundering, and here we are just willing to give more and more money without any result, except for dead bodies. There is nothing wrong for wanting peace. You can't negotiate with only one side. And for Canada, Canada has been charging us high tariffs for years, but no one has pointed out that unfairness.

If Trudeau keeps giving speeches like this he may very well be the next Liberal leader!

A true statesman! How he was able to say that Trump is a smart man without breaking into hysterical laughter is pure masterclass!!! Give the man an Oscar!!!

American Here. Let’s Go, Canada!!! I urge you to do everything you can to bring our president to his knees. Double down on anything that will hurt #47. The sooner he bends his knees, the sooner we get him out of office. He’s a liar and facts mean nothing to him. He sold us all out to Russia. Give him the worst you can come up with. We are with you. ??????????????

Normally i veiw this guy as a twat. I mean, i still do, but for once, i agree. Amercian take your government back. You work hard, you deserve to retire and live on the retirement funds you worked your whole life for. You deserve a health care that actually cares for you, you deserve a education system that does justice for your kids. You shouldn't fear sending your children to school, with bulletproof backs. Worried if they have light up shoes it'll give away their position in an emergency. \n\nImpeach that orange prick and take your government back.

This guy is all BS. We have these terriffs because of Trudy. He does not do anything but give Ukraine money.

Blah blah blah. I thought he guit, but you keep giving this globalist a platform. And you let him quit on his terms. So now you have to keep suffering from this guys agenda.

Oh give me a break! Canada has been right along with the U.S on becoming friends with murderous dictators. Saudi Arabia for one. All the middle east folks, the warlords etc. Don't be fooled. All those people up there are not looking out for your best interests.

Stand your ground Canada !! Don't Give in too Trump

Canadians love Americans, there is family on both sides. Why is Trump being COUNTER PRODUCTIVE ?\nthis is negotiating ? what is the deal ? SPELL IT OUT \ndon't try and fool yourself or anyone with verbal crap > show me the numbers on paper, give references from reputable sources in USA. We like and need clarity. Details. Transparency.\npeople on both sides of the equation are intelligent and need the REAL DEAL > not bull.\nIt smells like Trump has not spelled it out. Is it a flip or a flop day ?

This is nothing to do with Fentanyl. Trump is giving Canada the unpleasant medicine it desperately needs to cure from the woke mind virus. The weak DEI type will not survive. Only then will Canada become strong and a worthy partner to the reborn USA.

People who speak of Russia as it were the enemy obviously don't know the reasons why Russia had to defend itself moreover don't know who ZELENKSY really is, and what people your tax dollars is arming I will give you a clue: Azov.

CNN should not be surprised at the antics of Von Shitzinpantz when they have chosen to give him so much airtime and benefit of the doubt to the monster that they helped to create. CNN has facilitated this catastrophic situation. Hope CNN is satisfied with Trump's treachery and capitulation to Putin. His treachery must have cost Putin a king's ransom. What will it cost America ?It's soul I suspect

Germany here: Donald,,, how would your Citizen like 100% tariffs on German - European Cars ? Porsche Mercedes Audi BMW Ferrari Lamborghini RR Bentley and so on and so on .... I guess they will love it :D we could give this tariff money to UA and they will recover. DJ Trump thinks he is Batman, but he is just a dumb version of the Joker. America will go back to wild wild west and citizen which im very sorry for will not like this i guess. \nJT is right, this actually is a very dumb thing to do :D hahaha

He speaks with integrity-giving real facts and numbers. And not once tried to sell a fucking hat!

These political give & take will get resolved when common sense prevails & egos subside.

Thank you for speaking to us, Prime Minister. Our Representatives won't even give us that courtesy.

We can't get mad at Canada this is exactly what Trump wanted you said once you said 100 times Trump does not give a damn about the American people

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

As your average American citizen, I have no reason to give a fuck about Canada because I do not make enough money nor will I probably ever make enough money to want to go to a country that doesn’t allow their own citizens the right to own guns, not a single thing that man pleaded for and sympathy made any sense as the average American, who works his ass off I could give a fuck a less about Canada as a country just like every other country there’s no point of giving a fuck about them I’m never gonna be able to go to them and anyway, even if I did go to them, you get robbed by some piece of shit because a lot of them are Third World countries and you can’t even defend yourself. Absolute fucking jokes
