Trudeau is clear and right. Trump hit all democratic Countries in the a… and make the Dictator Putin happy, here is something wrong.

Russia definitely have something over Trump and I'm guessing tis *CHILDREN*. UNDERAGE GIRLS AND/OR BOYS! What else could it be . . . ???

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

Finally Trudeau says something sensible. 'bout time.

Is Trump in pay of Putin? Does Putin have something on him? This is a perception of many. Is the perception legitimate. This is what media and journalists need to be discussing in the public interest

Oh, Canada. You are amazing. Trailer park boys, maple syrup, whiskey, cool hexagonal coins. Why is Donald F*** doing this? Because he only cares about himself and until something happens to get him out we are all F***ed

First time hearing Trudeau say something that I agree with.

We have a petulant child and his evil sidekick running the country and it breaks my heart that their acts are hurting good, kind people, including our wonderful friends to the north. It is my hope that the GOP will find its spine and do something to stop Trump from further damaging the country, our allies, and the world.

Trump does not see Putin/Russia as an enemy. Trump is making Russia a USA ally and our allies our enemies. The sooner world leaders and American citizens come to terms with that and start calling it what it is, the sooner something can start to be done about it.

Trump owes Putin for something..and the country is not going to be held to his debt to Putin. Is someone in Trump's family being held by Putin? Is everyone accounted for in Trump's family...have we seen , Baron lately???? Putin must have something....

Way to go TRUDEAU. Don’t bow down to trump he’s a dumb ass and he thinks that the world owes him something. Trump is a criminal; very corrupt person who doesn’t have a life and doesn’t care about anyone. He’s just going around with his selfish and greedy self trying to take advantage of everyone with his corrupt ways . Trump should be a janitor, not a president ?

If Trump ever finds out how many bets and pools we have going betting on when Trump will die,\nhed probably lose his tiny mind.\nHeart attack or stroke,somethings \nGonna happen he is a million years old,morbidly obese ,never exercises and lives on junk food. Its just a matter of time .\nmay as well make some money off him and have a laugh doin it !\nMake your own \ndonnies dirt nap pool \nat work or online with friends!

Gotta give credit where credit is due: The orange clown managed to realize something we haven't seen in a while: uniting Candiand left and right.

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

The only reason Donny is siding with the russians is because putin and his people have something on Donny and Donny Trump doesn't want it to come out because its going to be truly embarassing for Donny, his family and the american people. Mark my words we'll all find out someday.\nReally. They probably have video tape of him

Boy, Canadian PM is totally out from dumb trump’s league. Canadians, you’re in good hands there ? Poor Americans, please, do something before the USA will not be anymore the country you love.

As an American, I respect Canada as a friend and neighbor. I stand with Canada and not the crybaby in the white house. Trump and his administration needs to be removed from office immediately. Trump voters are about to be in the find out phase.... Do you think they will storm the White House again? Something has to change... How can no one stand up to Trump...

We need to stand up NOW. Unite in the streets and demand our politicians do something. Protest, protest, protest!

This is about more than the fentanyl. This is about Canada not pulling their own weight when it comes to defensive spending, this is about getting them to allow Us manufacturered cars into their markets, this is about convincing Canadian companies to build factories in the US… etc Trumps tariffs are creating hundreds of billions, soon to be trillions of dollars worth of investments into our market. We hold the largest market in the world. We hold the power here, not Canada. And bitching about relations with our allies isn’t going to sway conservative voters come the next election. When we win this “trade war” something tells me CNN will whine about how we won it instead of giving credit to the current administration for doing better by our citizens.

Canada could have avoided this if Trudeau showed any improvement to the border . Trudeau had over 5 months to do something , anything but he did nothing ! Trudeau has done nothing but hurt Canada and Canadians since day one ! Don't be fooled by this treasonous half wit , he is not on our side !!

It’s clear that fentanyl is not in question, something else going on!

When's the last time I bought something made in Canada ? I think we'll be alright.

I'm sorry, but if there was something We could do as citizens of the US. We would!! There's nothing we can do to change what our asshat president is doing!! I didn't vote for him!!

Dumb donald duck mudt go!!\nit's four years..maybe he will be impeached or something worse will happen to him..who\nknows?.

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

When Justin Trudeau is the voice of reason you know something is very wrong with your President.

Oh, is he threatening to not buy even more of the products hes not buying as per existing agreement? \n\nTip: threatening to take away something I dont have, is not as effective as you might think

The way he talks to Donald is hilariously like a parent telling a child they're doing something idiotic. He's right, but it doesn't make it any less funny and sad that Donald Trump is someone you have to talk like he's a 5 year old to.

Very nice, except for the part about Donald being smart. Please don't lie to us about something we can all see is obviously not true.

Instead of making lecture, talk to the government and negotiate something. That’s how Trump works and you have to accept that he is the president. Stop beating around the bush and cut a deal with him. That’s the easiest way everyone has a chance to come out happy !!

WHAT'S A TOTAL TRAVESTY TO THINK HE HAS DONE SOMETHING ( BIG) HE'S A TOTAL RACIST UNEMPATHATIC BREATHING PERSON WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING!!!!!

The reaction from the white house will be as stupid as trump himself... Something along the lines of.... Nuh uh yer dum! vladimir poopskin told me I'm smart! I fuckin despise our idiot president!

I always joked if something goes down, I’m moving to Canada. The thought is no longer a joke. Funny how life works.

Tariffs, customs - This is not a trade war, but honest business. And security and order in your own country are something else. He turned the cat over with its tail. He manipulates facts.

Its a grand spectacle to see him speak. At just about the time other circumstances are turning an unknown corner Canada,yes Canada has now spoken up about something credible and concerning. Canada might as well now that some savior from Europe will emerge from a broken chair and claim to be the broker of peace and prosperity. As for me there is only one savior and HE knows the time and places. And his name is not what youve known it to be. Individual realtionships with HIM are all youve got. Goodluck everyone. Read the fine print.

So we can all agree that this is some bullshit. We all agree that Russia should not be calling our shots. \nSo lets do something about it.

I do believe that Putin has something incriminating on Trump that he has been blackmailing him with. Maybe something totally embarrassing from when Trump visited Russia as a private citizen several years ago.

Americans need to freeze their tax dollars that pays Congress. Make them feel our struggles and maybe, just maybe, they can do something about the two cancer that are in the White House.

Hopefully this will serve as a wake up call to stop blindly following the US foreign policy and understand something about injustice. Free free ??

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS JUST ONE THING . DOES AMERICA SUBSIDIARY ACTUALLY COMES INTO CANADA LIKE AMERICA STILL EMPHASIZE?\nAM BELIEVING THERE'S SOMETHING MORE INTO ALL THESE STORIES THAN TRUMP WANTING TO TAKE OVER CANADA. \nUNTIL THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS TOLD. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DECEIVED OURSELVES

Oh no! We're becoming another Ukraine that was so unwise to pick a fight against a strong closest neighbor ?‍♀️ On top of heavily sponsoring a war that we have nothing to do with. Thats not even on the same side of the globe. How can we stop our tax money spent on something that has no relevance to us? We pay taxes for the government to spend them on us, not some hypothetical threats and not so hypothetical ambitions of the politicians. Why is it more important to stand against Putin in Ukraine than to work out partnership with the closest neighbor? Wouldnt it be more reasonable to get to the table and work out a consensus.

Yeah I’m guessing if trump made that call this guy was doing something nefarious behind the scenes. His people hate him. He’s a baby dictator. He’s in no position to lecture anyone about governments hurting their people!

California native here I support Canada. Apologize for the corrupt Trump administration. Hopefully, something can be done about all the laws their breaking.

Well it’s to see Canada doing something about crime finally.. thanks to Trump!

Mr. Prime Minister -- as an American, let me tell you something: you're preaching to the choir.

Man, Russia got something DT!?!?!?

But hold on a minute, Donald Trump is pointing the finger at president Zelenskiy of Ukraine saying that he would cause World War three let everyone just take a step back and look at the mess that Donald Trump is causing in the US is behaving like a mafia boss employing and bringing in all the criminals of the millionaire world from the bottom of the barrel They want to play with Canada. They want to try and take over the Panama Canal, and take Greenland doesn’t this not sound like something that Putin is carrying out right now how do you rain in in this modern day? a president, of the free world who is psychotic deranged and suicidal.

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.too bad we didn’t have someone with intelligence and common sense as Trudeau.
