Hes doing what Putin wants.

Seems like Putin has hypnotised Trump attempting to break up the west

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!

From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

Trump means to swallow Canada, he said so. I have never believed before, but this he will do. Or try. With help from Putin.

America is sold out to putin. Good job you dumbass hicks

what has putin to do with this...............what has russia done to canada....u are harbouring khalistanis... u get what u deserve

This is less than an anti-American thing than an Ant-Trump thing. The American people aren't the enemy of Canada. Trump is the enemy of not just Canada...but the world except Putin

Putin is your daddy. ???

Finally Trudeau sounds like a real leader! Mark my words, Trump and Putin are up to something.... time will tell!

Trump is kissing Putin's ass. He want's to be seen as a tough dictator like Putin. Time to run the Natzis out of the WhiteHouse

Know that at least half of Americans do NOT support Trump or the Republicans choosing to ally with Putin and against our historical allies. We no longer are the champion of the Free World or protectors and defenders of democracy. Trump will shake down every country to give the 1% even more wealth. This is not sustainable.

If Trump is a friend of a criminal dictator like Putin, he should not be president of the United States. He is dealing with the enemy and betraying American values.

Im really suprised you people cant see, Putin is blackmailing Trump because he has plenty of evidence against him. Sexual deviance and other illegal actions. open your eyes

Question for CNN do you think trump will send troups to Russia to support putin ?

As Canadian, I agree to retaliate the tariffs. Why, because The American leader cannot be trusted and even if we do what they expect they want more and more, same as PUTIN.

As an American I am deeply ashamed of the current administration; the greed, the ignorance & the blatant corruption. The GOP is the party of Putin.

Unless of course, Trump doesn't see Putin as an adversary?

Some have a president who is Putin's lapdog and others have a statesman who acts with absolute integrity and cleverness.

Trump’s fixation on fentanyl is a ruse. He’s just trying to show Putin that he’s a tough guy but he’s just a coward. He’s too stupid to see the bigger picture.

I hope that those who blame russian civilians for not acting against dictator Putin will take actions against Trump in their country

It is amazing how much bad, buying one political party, does… it is obvious that Donald (and the rest of the weak republicans) is in the pockets of Putin…

Trump is dissolving our alliances that are not in line with Russia. I believe that Putin and trump are going to combine Russia and the united states as one monarchy and work to destabilize china as a superpower. There will be no freedom. Every headline we see is a distraction from every chiseled piece of our rights slowly being pulled away from us as US citizens. We will become complicit servants to a broken fascist system where our biggest rewards for being alive will be bread crumbs.

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

I’m BEGGING someone anyone in the intelligence community to find what blackmail material Putin has on Trump! Leak it!

American people voted for Trump to lead America, not Putin..

Go Canada! I hope other countries would follow your example on how to deal with the orange bully. Fentanyl is only an excuse. It's a part of his master Putin's instruction to destroy the west.

It isn't about drugs, it is the fat fraudster throwing his 200kg around. He is taking weight loss drugs made in the UK, perhaps he should tariff those by several thousand percent? He doesn't understand a trade deficit, he doesn't understand tariffs, in fact he doesn't understand very much that isn't grifting and lying. The world has to come together and cut the US out so Trump and his boss Putin can cuddle up. The US can come back when it has jailed the fat fraudster and decided that criminals should not be allowed in the WH.

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

This is a leader. Not a cuck to Elon and Putin...a real leader.

So what’s the point of calling Putin a SOB and then pat each other on our shoulders and feel good about it and still not have an agreement. Thats what they have been doing the past few years.

These are things our government is doing in full sight in order to distract all attention to the chaos ensuing, so that the WH can pursue even more nefarious projects behind closed doors. Poisoning democracy in an attempt to bring us to our knees before oligarchs and fascists. Trump has made it clear he seeks to be a dictator. Please research how fascism develops. Please people, don’t swallow propaganda initiated by the putin regime. \nTrump seems indeed to be a putin regime asset. Why else destroy all ally relationships?

I have my ?ready! Ready to watch karma take over USA. Color people are used to the struggle nothing new for us. Christian and Evangelicols hypocrisy GOD been watching your hatred and racism actions. The destruction of the imperial in live and in color! USA is so racist that they rather destroy the country. They prefer to put a criminal in the White House that has a close connection with Putin.

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

Trump like Putin is making enemies all over the world, he wants to be a dictator well you’ll be treating like a dictator.

Donald Trump is harboring a deep, dark, dangerous secret as to his reasons and future intentions on this planet. With Elon Musk at his side, he and Putin are developing a horrendous plan that none of us will survive. It is all about power and greed I am certain.

Putin asked him to do all this, Trumpski has never said anything good about America, remember the America is a garbage can etc etc etc,he is a TRAITOR

Trump wannabe Putin

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Someone should annex Ukraine. That would be a \ncheckmate against Trump and Putin

Trumph quiere, por lo pronto , en mi opinión que los aliados le retiren el apoyo a Ukrania. Parece q Putin le dio toloache. Se siente emperador y se quieren repartir el mundo .Animo Canadá. Ojala y Aqui en Mexico tuviéramos a una estadista de presidente, no una populista que está preparando un evento masivo tipo Maduro, para exaltar el nacionalismo. Nuestro país está en todos los aspectos en retroceso.❤????

This is Putin's way to divide and conquer the West and Trump is a tool in Putin's arsenal.

Putin is murderer and NATO is innocent ?

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

Trudeau can't promise to subsidize the Canadian factories that will shut down and the jobs that will forever be lost if Canada shuts down deliveries... HE WON'T BE IN POWER... The fact that Trudeau insinuated that President Trump is taking Putins side in the Ukraine war is insulting insulting insulting !!! President Trump wants PEACE...HE WANTS TO STOP THE DYING.. President Trump has a peaceful solution.. NO MORE BLOODSHED AND DEAD BODIES.

Trump is kicking all of americas allies and su***** up to Putin, a dictator... he and his MAGA are a menace!

CNN is just another media that whitewashes Trump too often. If you, in the US, had any sane media, all hell would be breaking loose by now! But all the critics I see are so soft, and always fearfull of how Kraznov would percieve them, that they are useless!\nI´m a german in Germany and I´m frightened!\nNot of Putin. I´m sure we in the EU can handle him, even if it`s gonna be hard and will cost us a lot.\nBut right now it seems the US turns heel and switches sides.\nI don`t know if we can handle a russian wanna be empire, that´s supported by the US....\nLand of the brave and free, my ass!

Respect Trudeau. Respect Canada. Trump, Musk and Vance are mentally ill dictators like Putin. America by voting, choosing these people you chose this path for you a path of global isolation and division and destruction. Putin is laughing now at you America ?.

Trump should be arrested for treason. He is destroying the US and will hand it to Putin.
