That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

I've always said, ole trump dumb as a stump. him and putrid, i mean putin are thick as thieves, and I don't trust the pair of them. something should be done about them both.

The west can not trust the USA no more I am sad to say

In Trump we trust ? ? ?

Mr. PM trust me when I say most of us do not want this, and did not vote for MR Trump!!! Please remember most of us 1000% disagree and are embarrassed to see what he is doing to our friends.

You cannot trust people who commit crimes

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Donald Trump must be impeach NOW for betrayal of public trust. Making an alliance with a war criminal Putin(a wanted murderer) makes Donald Trump unworthy of being a US President. He puts the world in grave danger.

Trump can not be trusted. And Vance is evil.

Trump will be gone - perhaps in 2 years he will lose the house/senate...and then what America? You've lost a loyal friend. It will take YEARS to rebuild our trust. Who will come to your aid the next 911? And it WILL happen; u are despised worldwide. It's a sad day. But as a Canadian, I love my country and will boycott EVERYTHING American to the best of my ability. Enjoy the hell to come America.

Just to be clear…. Most Americans DO NOT WANT THIS! We love you Canada, we do NOT trust Trump! we are embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated. We are so sorry!

Trudeau CANNOT be trusted !!! He has been court screwing over his own people many times. ANYTHING he says CANNOT be trusted...

Well said Mr Tradeu.\nTrump is a liar.\nTrump can not be trusted.\nHe wants to destroy America.

Nobody will ever trust the USA's words or promises. Not economically, military, or moral.

So sorry but countries will not trust your US for years now.

Any time you are on any kind of team, the teammates you want are ones you can trust, ones that will keep their word. One thing that has made the US strong is the allies we have. He have been able to keep these allies because, in general, we have stuck to agreements we have made with other countries historically. If you have an ally that doesn’t fulfill their end of agreements then they are not much of an allie. If Trump is thinking he can “replace” our current allies and just go become allies with Russia—Russia doesn’t have a good track record on following through on agreements in the last few decades.

Bring it on, Trudea. You can't beat our president . We trust his decisions.

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

I trust you Trudeau

Trump is a Russian asset. He is actively reducing US influence in the world and rapidly eroding trust with allies. These are goals shared by Putin, a mass murderer.

No one trusts America anymore. Trump is for self

Now the whole world sees that you cannot trust the U.S. Hopefully someone close to Trump will knock some sense into him. This is a bad idea ! After 4 years if high inflation, Trump is making things worse for the poorest with thess tariffs. If the U.S stands alone on the world stage, they will look like stooges because nobody likes a bully.

Canadians are polite? Trust worthy ?. Guess when you tell a lie long enough you believe it

I am done with America. I hate your country and I will avoid any investment there ever again. You cannot be trusted.

I think the whole Eu stand behind u Canada, and let's make a bigger trade and let Usa stand by itself. And it's a sad day for the people of US. Because soon Usa will be alone because no one can trust that country leadership anymore.

I'm a South African. you can't start a war with every country. at the end of the day we all need each other to survive. Donald started with South Africa and i must tell you guy's... we doing just fine i promise you. this won't be easy but trust me eventually things will be way much better than before.

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THE NEW WORLD ? ORDER & ITS A WORLD ? STAGE OF DECEPTIONS \nONLY JESUS CAN BE TRUSTED!

We cannot keep this up , everything changes with the flavour of the day, how can we put billions into projects WITH APPROVALS !! only to get them cancelled with the next flavour of the day, it,s bullying, nobody can trusts this whimsical way of going about business , especially dealing in billions of $$ , long term Canada HAS to diversify and then there won,t be the crazy discounts to oil\\ ngas and the massive profits made on refineries, so silly..

Test this dude geneticist and see he is Fidel Castro son !!!!!! I’m Cuban and trust me

from the uk..keep strong my friends..its going to be tough but you do have a government willing to help . unfortunately Americans dont the average citizen will be hit hardest my thoughts are with you all...its going to be the longest 4 years ...........will take decades to fix the damage and trust is blown

They don't care they hate us they want to kill us we're all in trouble we're scared to death they're shutting down everything or Medicaid or Medicare our food stamps everything they're going to take the middle class out within a matter of months and don't trust him a bit.

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

I stand with my president Donald Trump. As a Mexican American I agree with him. We need to keep our enemy closer (Russia) or crap like Ukraine war will happen like it did with Biden. Trust the president he will eventually bring Putin to his knees and then Russia won't be a threat to anyone anymore

Trump will run this country in the ground. Just like his failed casino, his university's, his failed buisness. This is all Trumps fault, stop candy coating it cnn rusian propaganda. Trump just plainly sucks when it comes to buisness. He was never successful, he is a grifter, a trust fund baby. He lied to you, and you fell for the scam. So deal with it. Kick him and putin vance out.

I would like to say this, Canada we do understand. I thank GOD I seen the evil in Trump and his buddies. It's call spiritual discernment. You people that believe in Christ, you better put your trust in the good LORD.

People need to understand that the damage and fallout that will certainly come from all of the things that Donald Trump is doing is intentional. \nTrump's efforts to weaken NATO, destroying our relationships with our long-standing Western European allies, creating friction and distrust with our border countries of Canada and Mexico, taking a wrecking ball to all of our governmental institutions that hold this country together, sowing a lot of hatred and distrust among American citizens along racial and ethnic lines, using tariffs to destroy the American economy, efforts to cause Americans to lose trust in our courts, justice and Healthcare systems, trying to Villianize Zelensky of Ukraine while praising the dictator from Russia, is all part of a plan to weaken or maybe even destroy our country and to allow Russia to rise.\nIt is painfully obvious that Donald Trump is an agent for Vladimir Putin and Russia against the United States, Ukraine and the democracies of Europe. \nDonald Trump is a traitor! The Republicans in Congress need to do their jobs and remove him from office ASAP!

As an American, I want to apologize to Canadians for this completely unnecessary crisis. tRump (aka Krasnov) is obviously working with Russia to dismantle the US. Thank you for standing up to this egregious violation of the Oath of Office and the trust of the American people (not that I ever trusted this traitorous mob). I applaud your actions!

It is abundantly clear trying to work with Trump gets you nowhere he sees movement towards his demands as weakness typical schoolyard bully behaviour and as we all got told when we were young you stand up to bullies. The US can no longer be trusted or seen as a reliable ally time for the rest of the world to move on without it

idiot Trump magaterds will say not to trust the media or Canadians and that prices are fine ??

The U.S. turning its back on its allies—especially Canada—while favoring its historical adversary, Russia, is beyond comprehension. Such actions undermine decades of trust, shared sacrifices, and strategic cooperation. Abandoning allies in favor of an adversary with opposing values raises serious questions about long-term commitments and global stability

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Trump is like Putin, a criminal convicted felon president, and a bully.\nI just regret that Canada did not also either tax all energy exports to the US, or simply cut all our energy exports to the US people who still elected a criminal at the White House.\nLet also buy all our armament elsewhere than in the USA. They don’t deserve our business and we should not trust them. ??

America is now hated - by our allies! We have become the bad guys of history. Nobody can trust us anymore. It's shameful. No matter what one thinks of Trudeau, he speaks well here, and he speaks the truth. Ignore the MAGA Americans and Russian trolls who will belittle him. He's right here, there's no escaping this. Every decent US citizen should be ashamed.

Trump just gave every country in the world that they need a nuclear program of their own and nuclear weapons of their own. You can not and will not and should not trust USA anymore

Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

Thats why there must not make any deal with Trump, anymore because he's a lier and stabs you in the back after he gets what he wanted, and hes also going to do that with zelenski as soon zelenski is signing a deal......he can't be trusted !!!!!!

That is a chilling title and amazing speech from Trudeau. Like if you don’t trust Trump.

From the UK I cannot for the life of me see what Benefit these tariffs are to the US and why Trump has taken a sledgehammer to the trust between America and its allies. It is simply incredible.

US credibility with allies is zero with DJT in the White House. US allies now see the US as NOT to be trusted in any working relationship or treaty. Trust takes enormous effort to gain, but can be lost in moments.
