I've no doubt that Trump has already agreed with Putin to import energy products from Russia, even though Congress passed a bill in 2022 to ban the imports, he just needs an excuse to get the ban lifted.

Yall, they ain’t trumps friends, how do you still not get this???? Trump is allied with Putin, Trump is friends with Putin.

À nos frères Canadiens : French here, let's unite Canada, Europe, Mexico, and the democratic countries attacked or threatened by Trump and Putin, commercialy or military, and build a new partnership in key domains as commerce, defense, science, ecology research and culture, without the USA. This can lead to a new positive force around the globe. Vive le Canada ❤??

Trump wants to cripple Canada economically so that his billionare buddies can buy us up for pennies on the dollar. He's working with Putin to divide up the world and take the spoils by force.

All this is done to please putin much respect to Canada from Ireland

Is Trump’s performance in the Oval Office really what the GOP equates to strength? Kicking our ally while they’re down, who’s been fighting one of our supposedly greatest adversaries who invaded their country? Berating him for not wearing a suit, or not being grateful enough, or being too hateful to the man who invaded his country and kidnapped Ukraine’s children? If this is strength, why doesn’t he treat Putin this way? It’s only weaker allies where he pounds his chest. Bully. Coward.

And Putin can't believe his luck

Trump killed All Americans freedoms today Trump has alined himself with Putin Stand up all Americans don't give a fist pump to Trump as he hands us all to Putin and Elon regeim Soviet rule If you have travel plans Americans are not welcome around the world Pay attention

Canadian didn't get a ticket to Putin party? So upset ?

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Do the simple math who is trump siding with Putin so all Americans need to brush up on your Russian

Trumputin is a useful Idiot to Putin. Could it be possible that Trump is a Spy for Russia? I'm just wondering. After all Trumputin went to Russia allot when he was just a Regular guy. What do you think?

‘…doesn’t make economic sense, doesn’t make strategic [global security] sense’ Hmm, who does it make sense for? Oh yeah, M_THERF__KING PUTIN!

Canadians! As an European I'm happy that -despite everything happening atm- we find ways to increase cooperation, cherish virtues like democractic ruling, honesty, empathy. Let's strengthen our bound and leave the (this) USA to Putin and China.

Guess how much tariff Trump will ever put on Putin Russia...Zero 0% ?

If trump will take putin side would you still give him minerals? World already trust America to lead most of military…

Trump pissed of Canada, they are like the Labradoodles of allies - who hates a Labradoodle? Oh yeah, putin's baby boy....

Canada does not have to defend itself in this case. Its clear that Putin wants to wreak havoc as much as possible and his ' boy' is doing it.

From Portugal Its make sense if is a Russian asset saving Mr. Putin from economic and war disgraces

All free world leaders know that that Trump is an Orange Dimwit and Putins puppet. Hopefully, the MAGA cult wakes up and sees what they voted for and the harm that blob of stupidity is doing.

Well done very proud of you. Trump is DUMB Putin very happy. stuipd sorry my friends

He's missing the American point. Our friends are now our enemies. Just as our enemies are now our friends. Only problem is our president is the only fool who believes Russia likes us. Our fool of a president doesn't realize how Putin is playing him like a fiddle.

Canada is our ally NOT our enemy??Putin is overjoyed w/Trump the TRAITOR?

Trump is a disgusting excuse for a human being (Putin too)

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

Why do you just not get it? Everything Trump does is for the benefit of Putin. Trump is a Russian Asset! Clear and simple. The americans have voted for a president who is working for Putin. DOH!!

This is not about tariffs. It is about Trump unravelling all of America's relationships with its allies, to make the country weaker, in the service of Putin. Canada is just the first. But Europe will be next. Then America stands alone, too weak to be a world leader.

Trump has an agenda, and it is to destroy America and the American people. Trump and Putin are in this together. Congress stop sitting on your hands and do the job you were voted to do, remove trump from power!

Krasnov is just following orders..from dictator putin.

Trump is putin's puppet

Trump is compromised and run by Putin. Putin is Trumps handler, aidrd and abetted by Musk. If things remain thecway tgey are America will not be great again for a very long time.

Only one thing can explain Trump behavior, secret obligations to putin.

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

Don the Convicted Psychopath is following his boss, Putin’s orders.

You Americans really need to get over yourselves. That was not harsh language, that was very measured and direct. Trump berated Canada with nasty language. If you want hash language, then we would tell you to F off and go and play with you puppet master, Putin.

As an American, I am sorry for this DISGUSTING behavior. WE STAND WITH CANADA!!!!!!\nAmerica doesn't \nwant a relationship Russia..... what does Putin have on DONNY DO LITTLE. TRUMPY DO needs to be STOPPED he is fucking our country.\nRepublicans this is all on you, grow a spine!!!!!

Trump is doing this for putin

I really wonder if the Russian people still know whom to hate, as doe decades it was the bad bad west. No Trump want to be loved by daddy Putin and is his slave.

Putin is behind it .

Donny the dictator trump will not last long…. He’s pissing everyone off who isn’t in his suck up club. Donnyboy only thinks about himself and how much money he can acquire. Oh, I’m sure Putin is going to enrich donnyboy well. Stand strong Canada. From a loving neighbor in NY state.

Chile apoya a Canadá y México!!!.... Trump es un agente de Putin

The fact is!! As a Canadian! Trudeau is a trader not putin!! Trudeau wants to illegally supply all drugs to every ,,, Trudeau your mouth just runing off sh,t ,,reopen the permanent quite hideing like a COWARD

I am a citizen of the USA. Now, I feel the same way of my country as some Russians feel about their country - shame. We support Canada and Ukraine in their position towards ridiculous behavior of our leaders. Hopefully, some democracy still remains in my country, and together we could change the situation to better. Glory to Canada and shame to Putin’s buttlickers.

Trump's actions are not those of an ally. He's a terrorist that wants to annex Canada like Putin did with Ukraine.

Trudeau is a leader. Trump is a follower of Putin. I'm so sorry, Canada. This isn't what most Americans want. Trump is a shame, and he won't last.

TRUMP IS HELPING PUTIN DESTROY THE USA. HE IS THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN‼️

Trump and Putin both want and need Canada for the simple reason of the Arctic melts. Ships can now travel that pass. Trump is known, and I'm surprised the media doesn't bring it up, to have financial ties to Russia as an American citizen even well before 2016. What kind of blackmail from Russia would make Trump totally sell out his country.

To MAGA Canada is Woke Commie Central, not a friend and ally. It's been made clear enough; they prefer Putin and the German AFD to the likes of us or their European allies.

Our country is harboring the new hitler. The meeting with President Zelensky was disgraceful. Our country is being destroyed by a draft-dodging wanna-be dictator/rapist felon who's a puppet to putin and a pogue vp who is a disgrace to the Marine Corps. I pray for the American ppl and our Canadian friends...a true ally.

Love Putin
