At what point does the International Olympic Committee and other international sports bodies step in and ban the USA from the upcoming Olympics? \nTrump has made his position clear that he feels Russia is not at fault for anything that has happened in Ukraine. The debacle that went on in the Oval office on February 28th was not only disgusting, but it proved to me that the president is not willing to be a peaceful friend to anyone on a personal or global level. Today's tariffs only cements that proof. The framework is in place to make a strong case to ban USA from the Olympics and current future international sports events. I realize this would impact many good people, but a country hell bent on hating those fighting so hard for their freedom has no place on any playing field right now.

What the heck does Putin have on Donnie? Was it pedophilia on Epstein's Island? was it sex with boys and girls? Was it the mythical pee tapes? Whatever it is it has to be big enough to get Donnie to break with all the US's traditional allies which has to be making Putin rub his hands with glee. How far does this adjudged rapist, and 34 count felon that the US decided it wanted to make it's President, have to go before someone steps in and say that Trump represents a clear and \npresent danger to the economic and military security of the world? His administration forced New York's director of the FBI to resign because that man did not want to give up the names of personnel who investigated the Jan 6 insurrectionists. He put a known Russian apologist, Tulsi Gabbard, in charge. He has frozen aid to a country actively fighting for it's very survival against an aggressive and expansionist Russia. He applied tariffs against Canada and threatens the same against Europe., he has banned the freedom to protest in colleges though he freed people imprisoned for rising in actual insurrection against the Government. Dictatorship comes in steps isolation from the world and suppression of freedoms are but two. The free world weeps for what the US is becoming under this current administration.

Americans don’t want any kind of war with our Allies! I’m in Washington state, and we love Canada ?? I’m so so sorry that the orange stain has done this to you and ourselves. ?????wow, what you did at your border is amazing! Our current leaders, in control,have no honor!?????

americans r so dumb they cant even recognize that article 14 sec 3 of the constitution disqualified conald from holding a federal job. they are so dumb they wont even question why hes disqualified. They are so dumb they dont even know that conald is not a president, and they keep calling him president. They are so dumb they would let a rapist, pedo, thief, insurrectionist, conman, felon into their house even after knowing hes this immoral. how dumb is dumb is just limitless after witnessing the current state of america

The actions by the current American administration will hurt everyone globally… for what? A vanity project? As an American, this is so painful to see my fellow citizens choose such sweeping destruction of good relations between long term allies. It’s absolutely heart wrenching to witness this along with all of the other atrocities that have happened since January 20.

The irony of POTUS saying that the current trade deal we have with both Canada and Mexico was terrible and the worst but was made and signed by him and his administration. In 2018 but ?? ??

No country can grow without cooperation and mutual aid. This kind of attitude of the current government is pure insanity. Where are the coherent people? Where are the people with good judgment? We need them...

Not only is Canada united in solidarity against Trump and his trade war, I think that we are seeing right here that Americans, Europeans, and people from every continent, also have a sense of unity and solidarity with us and Mexico and against the bully and dictator who currently is squatting in the White House. \nOrganise. \nMobilise. \nResist.

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.

As an American I am deeply ashamed of the current administration; the greed, the ignorance & the blatant corruption. The GOP is the party of Putin.

Why is Trudeau the only one to tell the emperor that he has no clothes. You can be sure with a 90 % level of confidence that Trump will sign an executive order suspending mid-term elections indefinitely. He is going nowhere after his current term ends and will ament the Law and the Constitution to make this happen . He has put a pause on cyber security activities against Russia without being asked and got ZERO in return.

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

The current American Administration thinks that everyone will just bend the knee and be “D Riders.” If they say jump, they will ask how high. Nah…not everyone will do that.\nCanada is standing on business‼️

I have said it again that the current US administration is the most stupid in the history of governance

I wish our current and past president spoke this well. Obama was the last time I could stand to hear our leader talk, and I didn't even vote for him [Obama].

Not only has Trump screwed the American people, so has Congress. What happened to the checks and balances? What happened to integrity? The current U.S. leadership is opening up their arms to Communism and turning their back on Democracy. Is this ever going to end?

The way mainstream media acts surprised by the actions of this current administration is just as revolting as Trump.

From Europe: Europeans strongly support Canada. Having visited Canada several times, I can fully attest to its natural beauty. The remarkable unity demonstrated by Canadians across the political spectrum in their opposition to the current U.S. administration is really inspiring. We should now be strengthening the Canada-Europe relationship, establishing free and unrestricted trade between our regions.

It's not about Fentynal, it is about power. DT wants power and money. It is unfortunate that our current president cannot be trusted.

Justin Trudeau with iron in his voice. Thank you, Mr President. As a British person on my side of the Pond, these are welcome and necessary words. Let us all in Britain and in Europe echo Mr Trudeau's sentiments. We want our friendship with America back, intact, but it requires the removal of Trumpism and fascism from the American psyche. American democracy can come back better and stronger in the absence of its current madness and malaise. Trump is not a President. He is a Pretendident.

Soy Boy Trudeau, you are not a friend of the American people. The majority of Americans voted for the current administration to make changes. Perhaps we will have a better relationship when you are gone from office.

The American people are with you. Unfortunately, our crackpot current administration feels otherwise.

I say it again and again. The greatest threat for the US national security is the current President of the United States and his sect, \nformerly the Republicans.

USA is currently being led by greedy Billionaires who are only interested in adding to their wealth at the expense of everyone else.

As an American I feel the deepest shame for everything that this administration is doing to our allies, to our neighbors, to Ukraine and to our own people. ?\nI did NOT vote for the current Administration!!

We do not need to be saved by nobody, But we need to save ourselves from our current administration not aligned with true American values. They do not have Americans best interest.

You have to be pretty out of touch with current events to believe this nonsense ?

Trump, you created this scenario. Why are we fighting with one of our closest allies? Everything that is happening with the current administration points to collaboration with Russia. WTF. Russia is NOT our friend. So one has to wonder why Trump is cozying up with them? What kind of kompromat do they have over him? How many within the administration are paid by Russia?

Now THAT, my friends, is how the leader of a nation should comport himself. Not like the egotistical, power-hungry loser who is currently running America! I am so embarrassed by our president and can hardly wait for his term to be up.

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

Prime Minister Trudeau, as an American, I understand and support what you're doing because we are being held hostage by walking talking malfeasance in the white house. I did not vote for that man and under eternal lifetimes would never vote for that man nor the people that support him. \n\nI don't want to suffer and I don't want others to suffer but there is no recourse with the current occupant of the White House.

You have to be pretty out of touch with current events to believe this nonsense ?

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

All you had to do was protect the border and lower the many tariffs you have on US goods. Over a million people in the US have died due to fentanyl and the human trafficking. Canada and its bureaucratic masters are realizing that America no longer wants to be part of the new world order and global elite bureaucratic government. The US is 37 trillion in debt we are currently dismantling our own corrupt bureaucracy and ending the Hegemony to focus on America first instead of policing the world for the elites. Canada, Mexico and the EU better adjust because no more handouts are coming we simply can't afford it.

Prime Minister Trudeau...I and others like me did not want this. We do not approve of the current occupier of The Oval Office. We are ashamed and embarrassed.

Canadastan is currently in the FA stage. The FO stage will soon follow.

Canadians are frustrated and are choosing to stop buying U.S. products, but Trudeau escalating tensions into a trade war with a partner is just escalating the issue. Plus Canada cannot win this battle. \n\nLeadership change - Trudeau needs to go. Every time Trudeau opens and closes the door he creates a mess. \n\n(Note: open discussions on current events is essential, its too bad the Canadian shut down our rights to speak on media platforms)

As an American I stand with Canada! Trump and his current administration are a complete joke and an embarrassment to the U.S.

If you lose Canada, Mexico and Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, your reserve currency status will be affected, and with that, your current and ever increasing debt will come to the forefront.

I just cried watching this. Trump is ripping up the worlds order in Rusias interest. Every FREE Nation will stand up tall against what currently comes from the U.S. Prayers go out to all the U.S. families, who will see it in their bank accounts & grocery prices by now. (Except the MAGA ones)

I have written a letter to HM King Charles asking him to reconsider his invitation to Donald J. Trump to the UK. I have argued that an official visit to the UK from Donald J. Trump will bring the monarchy and the UK into disrepute, it will be humiliating for the UK population, it will be an affront to the 200,000 Ukrainian refugees currently sheltering in the UK, and – following Donald J. Trump's verbal and economic assault's on Canada – it will be insulting to Canadians. Slava Ukraine!

With allies like that who needs enemies ? The current U.S administration can kick rocks. The gloves are off.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

This is just another step in the current Administration's push to totally isolate the USA on the World stage. Canada, Mexico, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Europe should wake up and form their own Global Trading and Defensive Block (including a Nuclear Umbrella) because the USA can no longer be counted on for at least the next four years.

Canada ?? is a friend to American people ! Donald Trump is being a fool, Elon musk seems to be secret president ? I am embarrassed by our current leaders !

Trudeau speaks the Truth. This American stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. The current U.S. President and his administration has betrayed the American People, our Friends and our Allies.

no lies will help you anymore... you are naked and transparent as glass! WHERE IS THE ANTI-AMERICANISM? THE USA CURRENTLY HAS THE GREATEST SUPPORT FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

The Anti-Americanism has it's origin in the current White House!

You can't ever debate a liar. You cantbein unless you lie first and don't stop lying. When world leaders try to use facts in any argument against Trump is like debating a liar. The stupidest person in the world who signed current trade deals is the stupidest president in the entire world. Stop using facts. Start calling him the name he hates the most, STUPID. Until you play his game, you lose, WE lose. Wise up
