Good, can you also mention netanyahu as a killer too (surely, Putin is).

I wonder what Putin will have trump do next.

I am so incredibly ashamed of this administration. he is an undoubtedly a Russian asset and has proved innumerable times, that he is Putin's puppet determined to destroy the West. I apologize for the pain and suffering being caused to your proud nation. God help us

TRUMP = PUTINS PUPPET

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.

Trump forgot to tell. us that he is doing this so Millionaires and billionaires can have a big tax cut. Thanks Donald, for being a Putin Lapdog

Can you guys arrest that orange idiot for not adhering to the oath, serving the Americans, not the Russians??? How much more chaos and destruction needs to happen before you act??? How much more negative development, undermining social security, and bullying long term partners who stood with your soldiers in different US-initiated wars??? Serious, how much longer are you just gone wait and sit until all civilised structures that democratic countries built up together and the US internatlly in the last few decades are going be vanished? The only laughing party, who is doing nothung but just sitting and waiting for it to happen, is Putin, god damned! Wake up, act!

I know many americans voted for trump but this action is trump voting against the american people. I mean do you guys really think Putin is a 'good' guy? You guys have to get trump out of there he wants to destroy america.

Trump is wrong about Ukraine your description of putin is a true!!!Americans mostly respect Canada as an ally, trump is after all NATO allies its obvious ploy for Ruzzia despot!!!

Putin is behind this …. The orange con man is a Russian asset

I'm from the UK. Excellent speech from Trudeau. \nI support Canada, the good people of the USA, our neighbor's in Europe and Ukraine. I stand with you all against the tyranny of Trump and his war criminal master Putin. \nGood people across the globe with share common values will not be divided by a handful of mindless lying dictatorial thugs.

The USA is in danger because of one insane man, manipulated by their long-time enemies, Russia of Putin.

Trump will smack this little boys bottom. \n\nMark my words he will back down by tomorrow for fear of his financial aid stopping and tariffs doubling. \n\nHow on earth does he expect to resolve the Ukraine/Russia conflict without talking to Putin?

Im uk, canadian cousins, best people on the planet. Widely regarded as just being the nicest country on the planet, from france and england, they have taken the best of both, determination and grit but always keeping things polite. The most reliable dependinal country ever. The us have had the luckiest neighbours on the planet. And no 1 of worlwide neighbours. For trump/elon to screw both ukraine and canada in the same week. Only person who could have wanted that more is putin.

Trump: agent saboteur. Please forgive us for the lunatics marching to Putin’s drum who are running my country and attacking our allies, including wonderful Canada.

The West needs to wake up and come to terms with the fact that Trump is an agent of Putin. There is no other explanation for his behaviour. He is doing everything he can do to damage the West and the USA both economically and militarily. To all intents and purposes the US has been subjected to a Russian sponsored coup straight out of the KGB/FSB playbook. The US Congress and Judiciary, the other two arms of US government, need to step up and follow the constitution’s guidelines and intent to self correct when one arm of the government goes off the rails.

Simple if you are not a trillionaire autocrat like putin or a half a trillionaire oligarch like musk trump doesnt respect you much less consider you a friend. The other one percenters in america are following trumps lead.

Trump succeeded in getting Canada and Mexico to protect the US border, something the US couldn't do for decades. Claiming that drugs were flooding into the US from Canada is another Trump lie that the media promotes constantly. Trump is a dangerous fool, thinking he will buddy up with Russia and come out ahead. Better men than him have failed and paid a high price for trusting Putin. Wishing our US friends the best of luck under the rule of this radicalized tyrant

Trump is so clearly compromised to Russia and Putin. His every action is to destroy America and to aid Putin. American voters disgraced themselves and their country by voting for a corrupt, stupid, rapist and wannabe dictator. I feel bad for Ukraine and Europe that Trump is aiding Russia over supporting our best allies.

Trump must be removed from office immediately if u gonna save America \nBecause he is Putins marionett puppet and going his arrends and dismantle the great us of America. Safety. Government. Security and all allies i am crying to see this happen to a great nation with one lunatic people must stopp Donald immediately \nSorry from Sweden

What does Putin have on Trump?

The American people voted for a fascist. Thanks a lot. The winner is Putin. Are you happy now!

What does tRump get from this?? He does nothing without personal benefit! Or this just Putin's creature destroying the world economy as a revenge for the collapsing russian economy??

You have to give it to Putin. First he manipulated the brits toward brexit, now he's manipulating americans to cut ties with its closest allies. The man is nefarious but we can't help it but admire how he puppeteers actions in other countries...

So, everyone gets punched in the gut, except Trump, his puppet masters, and Putin.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

Trump is raping and pillaging the US economy for his Lord and Savior Putin.

Trump gives USA up for Putin. Next - he is going to break NATO.

Its incredible what is happening. After humiliating Zelensky , saying that he didnt want peace (not true), now Trump starts a trade war with Canada. It's so insane. Its like Trump follows Putin, or like they are allies in destroying the world. Is this the way to make America great? Its already a nightmare.

Trump is leaving Canada open to be invaded by Putin once Ukraine has peace in its remaining territory! This is just more of Trump showing he is obliged to Russia!

TRUMP CONTINUES TO EMBRACE PUTIN AND MAKE ENEMIES OF AMERICAS BEST ALLIES

Very strange what Trump is doing. 1. Sympathize with Putin. 2. Isolating Canada 3. Retrating USA troope from Europe...USA i think Trump want's to isolate you and make you go to war. Get him OUT !!!!

If this were just about Trump then it would be easy to ignore. But of the 244m eligible US voters, 77m voted for Trump to appease Putin and sell out their friends; 88m couldn't be bothered to vote at all. That's 165m US voters who don't care whether the US breaks its word, attacks its allies, and supports Putin. Or worse, actively support it.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing...he goes off on his emotions. He likes to act tough knowing full well that he's not. He's Putin's puppet...he worships Putin and Putin is just laughing at him.

This is clearly an attempt by putin to wreck the economies of NATO members, think of it as putin's answer to the sanctions placed on him. Anyone who doesn't think 'rump is doing putin's bidding is a fool.

The Trump-Musk-Vance triumvirate is stabbing all of America’s allies, except war criminal B. Netanyahu, and supporting long-time US challenger Putin.\n\nMake sense of that. This is all destroying America’s international capacities and only growing the strength Europeans’ ennemies.

Trump is a literary an Russian agent that works for Putin imbedded in American politics!!! \n\nHe is literally trying to destroy America and it's relationship to Americas allies! \n\nHow can russia destroy the undistructable America ?? \n Simple destroy it from within!! \n\nThis conspiracy theory somehow makes more sense than Trump's fentanylls bs reasoning for putting tarrifs to our closest allies!! \n\nThis tarrifs just proves that Donald Trump is a traitor to America

Trump is a demonstrable Putin's lackey and a bona fide KGB agent in the Oval Office to do Kremlin's biddings to ultimately destroy the US!

I can't believe Trump did this. Just bashing all our allies and loving on Putin. What a sad day to be an American. Sorry, our Canadian friends, hopefully the tough times will pass and we can heal this Trump created wound.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for your calm and honest words that Trump is out of control and obviously more interested in kowtowing to Putin than preserving our relationship with our allies.

Typical progressive liberal, with the DemocRat politicians media talking point about Putin and Russia, smh

Putin has Trump dancing like a string puppet. \n\nHe has Trump causing all this turmoil creating economic calapse. \n\nHe's going to get Trump to lift sanctions so Putin can rebuild his military and weapons until Russia becomes more powerful than America. \n\nThen Putin will take Trump's lunch money.

Trump and Vance are not to be trusted, taking their marching orders from the Kremlin, following the Putin playbook.

cant wait till someone goes for trump again and not miss. You guys have putin's buddy as a president. Theres something very wrong there. A Russian ally as president. People of USA got duped

It makes no sense that Trump would be so aligned with Putin if there were not something shady going on.

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

It is very simple. Trump loyalty is with Putin not any of our allies?

Respect to Trudeau for standing up to bully. I kinda understand why he like Putin

Trump is a traitor that should get the chair for treason being puppy of Putin

Trump want to be like Putin that why he is in his plan if he got any chance he coup America
