Russia and china can provide all the rare minerals ?????

Russia and China are popping champagne.

LYING TURDEAU OPENS HIS MOUTH BUT CHINA IS TALKING. USA DON'T BE FOOLED. TURD TURDEAU IS A COOMUNIST BASTARD OUT TO F@@@@CK THE USA AND TRUMP. THIS IS A PSY-OPS BY COMMUNISTS

China, Mexico and Canada will find new markets so we aren't gonna sell American made to anyone

Like Russia, Canada has key strategic resources and huge oil and gas reserves. The west could not cause the collapse of the Russian economy after it invaded Ukraine because of that key fact. Canada will eventually find other markets for its natural resources. This is a sad fact as integrating our economy with the U.S. has been a great benefit to both countries. You buy our natural resources, we buy your manufactured goods. Too bad, this administration does not see this simply reality. Don't get me wrong, Canada will suffer MORE than the U.S. as our economy is much smaller, but it will survive and once it decouples its economy from that of the U.S., it will be fine. The U.S. on the other hand is breaking treaties with longtime allies and isolating itself on the world stage. It is squandering its place as world leader and world superpower. China is licking its chops.

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

This is guy is talking about making sense?? Seriously? \n\nYou’re berating trump for trying to make peace with Russia yet align yourself with China and let them infiltrate our government. You destroy the lives of your own citizens and completely ignore their rights and you wanna act like a tough guy now? \n\nAbsolutely pathetic.

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.

Great speech but Trump rightfully knows that everyone besides China and Russia can only bring knifes to a gun fight. Usa and russia will completely rip off Ukraine. Europe cant defend itself against Russia. Scary hours for the whole world

But it’s okay for Canada to work with China, send illegal immigrants and drugs into the USA from Canada… wow some “FRIEND” u r …??

Securing our boarders north as well as south . China military coming into Canada as well as drugs crossing our boarder from the north ? US promised Russia that NATO would not enter Ukraine . There is more to this story than the spin that Trudeau and CNN is presenting . Stop funding this war . Stop the killing . Stop laundering our tax dollars .

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

A big thank you to all other Countries that stand behind Canada. Proud to be Canadian! The drug problem does come from China to Mexico then it ends up in Canada. Trump needs to do his research. Canada proud!????????

DO business With Eu And China ?? 100 times better to do business with China then Usa=Russia....

I love Canada and Mexico hey are my neighbors North/South USA and China and I stand with Ukraine but this stupid Trump is screwing us up big time! we are getting weaker and WEAKER every day

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

America will implode. Even Russia has said they are watching and laughing waiting for you all to get weak and for the rest of the world to turn their backs then I guarantee you China, Russia and those terroristy countries will join forces against them. It's sad seeing Aneica go from the most powerful country to the arm pit of the world.

Why didnt trumps 25% tartiffs cause inflation when he put them on china who we get way more from?

We stand with you Canada, china and Mexico. Don’t allow a convicted criminal felon who escaped prison term to bully your nation. I blame morons and illiterate racial haters who voted for this dementia old man who thinks he is God. America, you can correct your stupid mistake in 2027 by voting out Republicans in congress. With that, this insanity is stop instantly. His brain will start to function.

Canada might be a friend , but i don't see Trudeau as a friend of USA , more like a bit of a one for China and the globalist nut jobs

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Trudeau looked the other way while China was bringing in fentanyl into their ports. They were caught only inspecting 1% and China paid them not to look.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

He even pissed off the Canadians. Probably EU should work closer with Canada, and maybe even China if the US is not able to get their ****** together.\nAnd pls , hurry , would be cool if we could elect people that a grown up.

While I acknowledge that the way Trump and Vance addressed Zelensky could have been more diplomatic, as an American , I cannot justify allocating $360 billion of our tax funds towards resolving another counties war—especially when only half of that amount has been accounted for, and the other half remains untracked. Let that point sink in! The US is currently in $33 Trillion dolars in debt yet giving away money like candy . No other country is contributing money like we are . We simply do not have the resources to continue doing that . Our financial situation is worsening as we print more money to allocate toward other countries. Furthermore, 7% of the $33 trillion of the US debt is owed by other countries , including China . Our funds need to be utilized for our own benefit before being given away. We have veterans on the streets, the elderly suffering because SS isn't covering their basic needs , school system thatvis failing , health insurance unaffordable by most. We need to fix our own issues. We need to feed our own kids before we feed the neighbors, not the other way around.

Trudeau you are a dictator and worship the CCP party in China the irony of this man's words

Trump said he wants to break the relationship between China and Russia how better to do it by getting in bed with Putin!\nTrump could be playing Putin.

Thank You Mr Prime Minister, You Saud Exactly what needed to be said at this time, tRump gave Canada, Mexico, China no option but retaliation or comply.. Canada will retaliate as we don't have a Bully that is an Oligarchy Driven Maniac at the helm..\nVote ?? Every Time!!! ??❤✌

You mean what America has been doing to China? Aweee no you guys feel it now? How cute. ????

Canada has more real MAFIA Activity than the . There is a direct connection with N'drangheta from Calabria, Italy. They work with Mexico, China and Colombia to flood USA with drugs.

Who is laughing hardest, Russia? China? Middle East? Betrayal of Western power block.

Truedoe is paper tiger. He doesn’t understand deplomacy, politics or even leadership. His only qualification is that he is son on ex prime minister. He broght shame to canada throughout his career. Puppet of china

México nowdays has a efficient, knowledgeable. and honest president that wanted to have fair trade agreements with Canada and the United States ...however the US government choose to fight and blame the neighbors to the north and south by braking every single rule of the free trade among the three countries ......CHINA , CANADA AND MEXICO ....oviously will retaliate the same way and Definitely the US citizens will be the most hurt ....mexico always have been resilient from wars. Pandemics , bad politicians , economy , etc etc etc ....mexicans have the strength to recovery sooner than later and this one won't be diffrent .....mexico will continue to have agreements with Europe. Asia , and Latin America with the option to have talks with bricks ...we all know the world is totally diffrent.now .....The 1800s are gone and will never come back that's for sure !!

A guy who froze the bank accounts of his citizens because they protested one or another of his insane decisions.\n\nHe visited china or North Korea. He came home and told his people, Being a dictator (like china's and north korea's) would make it so much easier to govern.\n\nI have no interest in anything he has to say about anything.

Both the United States and Canada lose in the trade war, but China wins.

As an American, YOU make me SICK! You are such a hypocrite who is ACTIVELY destroying his own country! I will make the hard decision to do without/pay more rather than pander to Canada, Mexico, China, etc…. So Mr. Trudeau, don’t “speak” to us about anything! Just go away!

STIP the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and DLOW OF FENTANYL from CHINA through CANADA

Donald Trump has destabilized in a month the free world more than Putin and China in recent decades??

Trudeau the dictator who loves communist china

Putin is laughing at us both now for supporting Ukraine against Russia!???? China is laughing at us both, too, for encouraging Taiwan to break from China!????

Canada has a very important “CARD” in the table. Invite China to be your business partner and invest heavily in your country and you won’t suffer anything because China is a super power too. Just change direction, it doesn’t matter where the wealth comes as long as you are working in partnership. China China China! That is a language Trump really understand. If you don’t do that then these tariffs will harm your people so don’t let that happen. Invite CHINA now! As much as I don’t like China I wouldn’t think I’d be watching this nonsense and bully behavior from our president.

Is Trudeau's Socialist dreams going into the shitter? Awww... China weeps.

Will world media now start making a difference between “Trump” and “American People” like they do between “CCP” and “China”? I guess they should, lets not be unfair the other 50 percentage of Americans that didn’t vote for Trump.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

All the so-called friends of USA to advantage of usa since 1960's.\n\nNow china is big and Russia is big. \n\nSo, USA has to let go all these so called friends to catch up with the growth of China

The problem is you! Trump can’t stand you get out of Canada Traitor. Go live with your handlers that impressed you so much the Chinese. Let me be Cristal clear to you when faced with a sad reality as to who will puppet Canada I choose, I pick the USA over China any day traitor. you’re an embarrassment to your father now get out of town.

Isnt he already facing charges to collude with CHINA ??? \nARE CANADIANS BLIND TO SEE CHINA IS THE CAUSE OF THIS RIFT BETWEEN US AND CANADA

Don’t listen to this fool…Trump set tariffs so Mexico and Canada stop importing fentanyl chemicals from China. \nTrudeau is an idiot.

Don’t trust this man this globalist. He sold out his own country to China
