When trump started blaming all the immigrants for the economic woes of the us like it’s 1945 I knew better than to listen to his bs. He lies and says what he needs to to act like a dictator. I didn’t vote for him. Nor will I ever be ok with him being on putins side or bragging about being friends with Kim jun un. He’s an idiot.

Way to go Canada, I'm American and and ashamed of our felon wanna be dictator that had put us in this position.

How is this imposter dictator still speaking for Canada??

Proud of our Canadian cousins for standing up for themselves & against the crazyness of that lunatic dictator! Well defended by PM Justin Trudeau. Love & Support from France.

Thank you Trudeau, as an American, we have a dictator as president; it's completely ridiculous we are taking side with Russia. Sickening.

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

As an American, our President is running rampant. He is a dictator and is threatening colleges with removing funding. He does not represent us. We hope the world can hear us when our President is so much making a fuss so much louder

Don’t let orange guy dictate to you like he does to his GOP so called ppl

From Germany - we know how it started with crazy dictator … so lets stand together to fight TRUMP

EU should do the same on applying tarriffs to Trump US and should continue to support Ucraine against the dictator in that country. Canada leader explained clearly and decisivaly their position against the bully tactics from US based on lies ( that is the policy of the Trump US - actions based on lies )

Canada tried to appease Trump and pretended to take his lies seriously. You can't appease dictators and dictator-wannabes, ever. Don't boo our national anthem at hockey games please, but don't give Trump anything. Most Americans are on Canada's side.

For all the American's siding with Canada. Did you know Canada has never fulfilled its obligation to Nato. they only pay 1% of its gdp. They are supposed to pat 2%. The united States has been carrying the water for Canada and other countries so they can flaunt social programs like universal healthcare. If they paid their fair share for defense they would not be able to afford it. Its about time these countries start paying the United states back. Since Canada became a member of Nato in 1949 they have never fulfilled their payment obligation, but enjoyed the security of being a member. America pays 4.5% and some other years 6% of our gdp to NATO. with out the US there is no NATO. Maybe Canada should take over for the US. Like that will happen. If Canada was the 51st state they would be the 4th poorest state. Not trying to be mean this is just reality. The dictator of Canada has never cared about his people, or he would have simply secured your damn border. https://www.forcesnews.com/news/world/nato-which-countries-pay-their-share-defence

Donald’s motives are very simple. He wants to be Vladimir Putin‘s butt buddy. He admires and has said that he admires Vladimir Putin‘s power and authority and dictatorship. He wants to be the American dictator. This has nothing to do with anything, but Donald’s ego he is a madman.

Alabamian in Tennessee we true Americans will never bow to a dictator or a wannabe dictator \nEVER!!!!

Europe must stand strong and independent! The U.S. can’t dictate global trade while waging economic warfare. It’s time for Europe to impose high tariffs on American goods and services—no more one-sided deals! We don’t need Silicon Valley giants like Apple, Google, or Tesla to thrive. If Trump escalates, it will backfire on the U.S. Let’s unite with Canada, China, and Mexico to push back. Europe, step up and go all in! ????

Trump will not be your dictator forever. We want to be friends with Americans not enemies.

So the dictator Trudeau is suddly careing about his country? It is almost like he is going to get called out on his lies next ? these tarrifs will hurt CANADA not the US ?

Remember when this same fellow froze protesters bank accounts and began collecting peoples weapons? Yet, he has the gull to talk about dictators. Trump actually wants to avoid WWIII and I hope what his administration does will bring an end to the war. Though, I do agree he should be more tough on Putin. That being said, I do agree that the crossings from Canada are not nearly as significant as compared to our southern border. It would be nice to see more from Canada in their investments to secure the border and stop crossings, cartel movements, and drug operations. The US has spent more than 409 billion since 2003 on such operations. Regardless, I feel for you Canadians and it sucks that it has come to this and I hope we keep strong relations in the future. Hopefully we can come to a fair deal soon. Mexico and China are the big players that do not do nearly enough to prevent these crimes. In fact, the Mexican government helps the cartels by not trying to stop them. China's lack of regulation on the ingredients to make fentanyl contribute to a large extent to this tragedy as well.

Alabamian in Tennessee we true Americans will never bow to a dictator or a wannabe dictator \nEVER!!!!

Trump can only bully allies and so friendly with the dictators.

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister for an incredibly important and well read speech! One thing though....Donald Trump is NOT SMART!! Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump! He cares about RETRIBUTION against people who dislike or laugh at him. He is a GIANT NARCISSIST and a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!! He would rather be BUDDIES with DICTATOR Vladimir Putin than with any allies! Trump is TANKING the economy and CRASHING the Stock Market which also includes people's retirement funds. DONALD TRUMP IS 100% A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!!! HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED, REMOVED, AND IMPRISONED!!! HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR GOING ALONG WITH TRUMP!! THEY ARE ALL ACCOMPLICES!!!\n\nTIME TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN, SWEAR IN KAMALA HARRIS AS SHE WAS THE RUNNER UP, AND FIX WHAT DONALD TRUMP DESTROYED!!!

Not my government, I'm ashamed. Prayers that we can overcome this Dictator wannabe and find our way back to the America I have loved all my life.

Trump just made 2 announcements:\n\n1. He’s cutting off military aid to Ukraine, which has large deposits of rare earth minerals, basically handing it off to Putin on a silver platter.\n\n2. TSMC, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company is investing $200 billion dollars in the US and he’s taking credit for the creation of jobs this will generate.\n\nWhat do you need to make semiconductors? Rare earth minerals! Anyone smart enough to put two and two together would know that Trump, Musk and Putin are in cahoots to take Ukraine’s minerals and the meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of cameras was just to corner him and make him look like an ungrateful dictator so Americans would rally against him and justify cutting off military aid.\n\nThe Republicans in congress are set to make a pretty good fortune by playing defense. Enough money to not give a d@mn about reelection. It’s all corruption. Turning our backs on our allies and cozying up with dictators just so Trump, Musk and their buddies can add more billions to their bank accounts!

This man is a dictator himself by what we went through with gender identity they still enforce there people with this bogus B.S.

Trust Trudeau i think not, we still remember your dictator type response at the Truck protest

How in gods name is it possible that this is happening one more time?? Tariffs and appesing a murderous dictator. \nAmericans really need to learn critical thinking, and need to be able to spot a con artist. \nThe democrats really need to understand their voters better, to prevent this from happening again. \n\nCanada Europe is with you.

Thanks prime minister Trudeau for standing up to the convicted felon wannabe dictator ?????

Go Canada!! ❤. As an American, I'm proud of you for standing up to our orange dictator!

Dear Canada: please know that this orange buffoon does NOT speak for the vast majority of Americans that value truth, integrity and other humans. He shows every day that he cares only about his ego, his personal wealth and his billionaire buddies. Taking the side of dictators is his stock in trade, as we’ve seen numerous times. God help us until we’re rid of Trump and his idiot sycophants!

Tradeau is the son of Fidel Castro and just got done grabbing guns and cutting off pay from his countries citizens.. let’s talk about Russia and a dictator ?

Let me guess the orange clown's reponse....\n\nCanada started the tariff war.\nTrudeau is a dictator.\nHe isn't flying the US flag behind him.\nHis socks have not been ironed.\nOh...and he didn't say thank you.\n\nCanada loves Americans BUT hates the orange clown.

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

Please, explain it to me, what this trade war has to do with the USA — Russia relationship? Please let me know why the President of Russia is a lying, murderous dictator? Facts on the table!!! Or is it all a usual BS?

Yes!!! Very intelligent and straightforward, much respect to PM Trudeau. We here in the US president that continously lies,fabricates and very much disrespectful not just to the American people but to are allies. We will suffer greatly as long as trump stays in that oval office. Putin is just sitting back and waiting for trump to complete his move to become a dictator. Being schooled by putin and Elon Musk.

We have a president who cares abour the economic state of our country and the morale of its blue collar worker. Our country has been ripped off by people abroad and internally. This is pressure on all governments we do business with for equal trade. We are forcing countries to become more self reliant. Each country needs to become the greatest version of itself unfettered by people dictating laws that enrich themselves at the behest of its citizens. We elected trump to tear down the old, fix the waste, weed out the greedy players taht dish out our money and get kickbacks. Thats all. America is about to become super self reliant and bring back an early 1900s boom. We can no longer be the piggy bank of the world.

Putin is a lying dictator just like you who welcomes terrorists from all over the world to take shelter in Canada

Trump siding with the dictator whose economy is same as that of Texas and starting a war with the closest neighbors such as Canada, Mexico and China. This is economic suicide.

I’m American but I stand with everything he said!! trump and the republicans are siding with dictators and continue to lie to them about everything….I never thought as an American… the supposed leaders of the democracy free world….would really allow a felon to destroy our country and make us TRAITORS siding with DICTATORS ?

You get the government you deserve. I blame the American voters that put this lunatic in power, and his supplicant MAGA GOP. Hurting our best and biggest allies, and realigning with an evil dictator, Putin is the recipe for disaster for America. Russia is not the world power it once was, but that is the aim of Putin to revive the old Soviet Union. The EU will stand up for Ukraine, with the rest of the world. Then, the U.S. will be left with broken alliances, and only the axis of evil as friends.

As an American, I'm disgusted with the American government. Trump is not a president he is a wannabe dictator who needs to be removed immediately.

Ask him how he knows a lying, murdering dictator.!..takes one to know one. He ifs a POS ??? nobody wants him here. He can go to hell with his BFF Klaus Schwab

Love from Oregon! Hit us hard, Canada! Show all these stupid trump supporters that the rest of the world won't put up with them voting for a dictator! He's a lying felon, and i can't believe we have to deal with this. Just know many many many americans also did not want this and stand with our longest ally! Go Canada!

Love you Canada! So sorry for the heinous narc dictator we've been plagued by.

MAGA won't be complaining about prices because they don't won't to offend their favorite Dictator in the White house...But Real Americans will suffer and the MAGA Cult won't give a f'k. A Malignant Narcissist will detroy America in two years or less and MAGA will cheer.

Please liberate us from this dictator

lol, CNN is a bunch of lying haters! US didn't lose anything! I thought this douche resigned. Zelensky is the dictator, Justine! You'll fold the moment Putin says boo! You already charge us more, so we'll do it right back. We'll see

An American patriot here I support whatever our allies have to do!! Trump and his administration do not represent all of Americans!! Do not trust him, he never faces any consequences legal or otherwise! Our allies stand up to him and so must American patriots. If nobody tried to put up roadblocks he would become an authoritarian dictator like Putin only dumber!! His cannot happen his threat of World War III to Zelenskyy would be in part because of the US government! The American government is a hostile government at this time!!

Connecticut here. Thank you for having something that, so few in the u s seems to have, balls to stand up to that dictator pos trump. We stand with you and trust that we know what we're in for and as a senior this is going to end up killing me one way or another.

Europe stands by Canada's side. Let us act together against dictator Trump. Europe is not against the US population, but against the elite Republican clan who are holding the US population hostage with their behavior.
