Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

Hard to believe that some people in the world do not want freedom, peace, friends, and happiness, and we let the so called leaders ruin our world that we all have a short time on this beautiful planet. Canada will survive, we will never give up our country. Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for being yourself and truthful and letting the world know. Thank you from all around the globe for your support.

I hope Canada and the EU can get closer, and set up trade of most of our natural resources with them BEFORE Trump get yelled at to change things so theyre extra screwed. I also dont understand why the USA is so hell bent on making Russia happy and their Allies angry, is the USA and RUSSIA the new Allies? Dont Americans find this unnerving??!?!?!?! This is all goijng to make China the new real SuperPower on its own with a ton of Soft Power while they continue to ramp up development around the world and the USA is being gutted by a business man and his unelected NAZI buddy Elon....so weird...!

These tariffs are not because of trade imbalance, fentanyl and other excuses. It's about destroying alliances that were built and enhanced for decades. Only Russia will benefit from this and add many around the world knew all along, Trump and his cronies and doing Russia's bidding.

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

I think this was probably the best speech I’ve heard from Trudeau. I’m not a fan of his, but I admire the way he has handled this and stood up for us. I’m deeply touched by the amount of support we are receiving from around the world and especially from our US brothers and sisters. ❤️??

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

THIS IS ALL ON PURPOSE TO DAMAGE THE COUNTRY. \nTrump is dismantling the country to fulfill his promise to Putin. First he disrupted the government by firing millions indiscriminately. Then he alienates our allies around the world so America can no longer be trusted. If that isn’t enough he then tanks the economy. Now he is publicly aligning himself with Russia. Trump and his cronies are Russian assets and they are destroying this country before your eyes, on purpose. You would have to be a fool not to see it.

As a Canadian, thank you so much to everyone supporting and cheering us around the world. Every single one of you is more important than you realize. ???

Canada is already heading into an economic crisis, and what Trudeau just did might be the final nail in the coffin. This is his last big mistake — and he’ll soon blame Trump’s policies to cover up his own failures.\n\nLet’s be clear: Trump’s tariff policies aren’t some random attack — they’re based on a simple reality: The U.S. doesn’t need Canada. Here’s why:\n\nEconomy Size Comparison:\n\nU.S. GDP (2024): Over $28 trillion\nCanada GDP (2024): Around $2.3 trillion\nThe U.S. economy is more than 12 times larger than Canada’s — the leverage is completely one-sided.\nTrade Imbalance:\n\n75% of Canadian exports go straight to the U.S. — Canada’s economy depends on the American market to survive.\nMeanwhile, only around 12-15% of U.S. exports go to Canada. The U.S. can replace Canadian goods easily through Mexico, Europe, or Asia, but Canada has no backup plan for losing U.S. access.\nPopulation and Consumer Base:\n\nU.S. population: Over 330 million\nCanada: Around 40 million\nThe U.S. is 8 times the market size, meaning American businesses would always prioritize the U.S. market over Canada.\nNatural Resources & Energy:\n\nCanada’s oil, gas, and timber exports rely heavily on U.S. buyers.\nThe U.S. is already the world’s top producer of oil and gas thanks to its shale industry — it can easily survive without Canadian energy.\nCanada, on the other hand, would struggle to find new customers fast enough to avoid collapse.\n\nDefense & Global Influence:\nThe U.S. holds dozens of trade agreements with major powers like the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.\nCanada’s economy relies heavily on U.S. investment, which could be cut off or redirected if necessary.\nBottom line: Trudeau is dragging Canada into a crisis of his own making. He’s gambling with his country’s economic future, knowing full well that in any economic war with the U.S., Canada loses — fast. When the fallout hits, Trudeau will shift the blame to Trump, but the facts are clear: Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada.

As a Canadian - thank you to Americans and those around the world who stand with us!\nThe world must stand arm to arm, united, against Trumps aggression.

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

USA Democrats will not accept 83% vote win and are still campaigning against Trump and Republicans. They hav e not stopped from day one. The socialistic/communistic world supports them in attempting to break down all Americans work hard for. America will not be pushed around and broken. If Canada wants to be with them, let Canada fall with them.

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

He is such a tyrant and a Bully he is destroying USA and he is not bothered as he is in charge of USA for his 4 years in the white house its his own interest look at the respect the USA has got around the world\n\n\nKnown as the genocide evil USA

Trump is becoming a stock of joke around the world.

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

In times like this, it an opportunity for leaders around the world to show competence and leadership. American people must be smarter than their leader, they seem hypnotized. Hope when they wake up, wont be too late to repair the damage.

Everyone on here is missing the fact that Canada is already charging 25% taiffs. Canada is not the good guy here. This all could end if Canada just drops their 25% tariff then we would be back to good business. Trump is exposing all the corruption around the world!

A Scot here. Canada is our great friend. I am sure that all reasonable people around the free world support Canada in this insane trade war. Trump is Putin and Putin is trump.

Perhaps the time has come for governments around the world to reconsider their friendship with the USA.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

Countries around the world should join to oppose USA insanities

Ukraine sold our weapons we gave them to terrorist groups around the world; the truth will all be revealed

Well spoken, PM Trudeau! Australians stand with you in this fight. It is very disturbing for us that the USA has shown such a decline in mental and moral equilibrium! We need more honesty like this from all world leaders. ENOUGH of tiptoeing around a complete tosser, orange moron is not helping anyone but himself.

Trudeau loves Trump. Before these tariffs, Trudeau was one of the most despised prime ministers in Canadian history. Now people around the world are praising him. We don’t need people to stand with us, we need him and his party gone!

Trump and vance are doing a lot of harm to America and its reputation around the world

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

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

i m stunning american people accept are allied whit russia... russia are a terrorist state, whit a war criminal as president... what happen in USA? Now all country around the world think we can t trust USA!

While I am going to financially suffer from this, I want to see our country start new deals with Europe and Asia. Until tRump is gone and ALL of his minions have left office, I don't want to see any deals with the US. \nWe knew Trump wanted to destroy Canada financially. This was NOT about fentynal.\nWe have enough wood, enough oil, and enough resources to establish good relationships around the world. And sustain fellow Canadians.

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

I would suggest not pissing off the Canadian people. They are quite people but when they go to war they are brutal. Just look at history. They are friends with all countries around the world. The commonwealth will not put up with this for long.

♥♥♥♥Canadian over here. Many thanks to all of you good people around the world who are supporting us.

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Hey, dump, I didn't ask for you the first time. You're a disgrace to HUMANITY. Why the hell would I vote for you the 2nd time around? I voted for Hillary and Kamala over your filth that IS you. I don't want anything to do with anyone who sides with the Great Deceiver and followers. I guess this is what it takes. You all disgust me. This whole thing creeps me the hell out. Beam me anywhere else, Scotty. USA has been duped with the whole world. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as a Canadian, all I can say is Trump has galvanized our nation not to take up arms, but not to ever capitulate to a bully. But I especially appreciate seeing all the people from around the world are standing with us, and that also includes americans that are equally upset by their president’s behavior.

More liberal tears coming from all around the world. Stay strong Trump and continue the good fight! Get all the leftest out of power!

I really dont think fentanyl has anything to do with these tariffs. He wants to dissolve our governmant and try to turn it into a dictatorship He wants to cut us all off from the rest of the free world and buddy around with Putin who he idolizes.

Donald is causing problems around the world but the worst problems will be for the American people.

Trump is isolating the US States from our western allies. And ultimately the rest of the world. This is going to ruin US Security. And making us vulnerable in the global economy. We are not going to make it without having our allies around the world.

“We two fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see.” Unfortunately, I suspect that is exactly why Trump is doing this.

Trump is the man to sort the swamp out around the world not these muppet . Rember what you did to the normal people in Covid bullshite . Wake up people

Donald Trump is a pathological, malevolent narcissist. That's all there is to him. He has successfully gaslighted the USA and has fanbases around the world. Flying monkeys around the globe feel empowered by just waving his flag. This will become much, much worse. May god be with us.

Is Trump aware that there is an other world around him other then the one that spines around his butthole?

Trump is the man to sort the swamp out around the world not these muppet

America's reputation around the Western world is in the toilet

? I feel so much sadness for humans today. Sending love from Canada to everyone around the world.❤ Trump should be in jail, locked up and never let out.
