Donald J. Trump is the very Best US President we have seen in our lifetime. President Trump only expects trading partners to treat the US fairly.

Americans stand with Canada. I didn't vote for Trump/Vance/Elon ticket. The Whitehouse doesn't care about Americans. Thank you for speaking to us. Fentanyl is an excuse to give people who make $376,000 or more a tax break. Unacceptable.

As an American, I DONT SUPPORT OUR president!! I never have! My grandfather, makes me proud of my Canadian heritage and i support YOU doing anything you need to for your country! He is isolating us from our allies and i need to appologize for his arrogant and bad behaviour! I love your country and my own, but i DONT support my government right now!!!

The American people reject your one sided friendship. No more taking advantage of America. It’s time to pay us back for every dollar you have earned from us. Period

It's shocking that 'Donald' is becoming the norm. ?? Canada well done for standing up to a BULLY!! The US will become an isolated, 3rd world country not the leader of the world which it has ben since 1945! Such a shame.

I can’t even imagine the US president addressing his country in it’s second language, Spanish, showing all citizens matter to him, let alone as clearly and succinctly as this. The difference in quality of communication is bewildering and astounding.

Russia and China are idenfying your security weaknesses. \n\nYour challenge with US leaves you vulnerable. \n\nGet ready for their takeover of you.

As an American I'm rooting for Canada. My job relies on Canadian imports. I don't want to lose my job but I want Canada to not give in to us.

Canada should put a tax on the energy they export to the US.

USSR = US Side (with) Russia ???. \n\nI thought americans dare to opposing tyrants.. but you all just NATO (No Action Talk Only). Just go disband as a country. ?

He’s not polite, he is arrogant, narcissistic and a corrupt little weasel who has done untold damage to Canada. Now he wants to be captain Canada and save us. Cheap political performance.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

We love you Canada- you can’t imagine how embarrassing and infuriating it is to watch our US leadership around the world disappear into a pool of narcissism and congressional sycophants.

We Canada are aligning with China and every other country. But US and Russia.

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Ukrainian woman, whose heart is broken by fear for our Army and the people going to die without the US military support on the coming weeks and months, I stand with Canada. America, what have you let done to yourself?

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Is trump trying to piss off all our allies so they all break away from the US so he can use that ad a reason why he has to join with Russia?

We love Trump. We voted him in. We don't owe anything to either Europe or Canada. The tax payers deserve better in the US. ?

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.

I hear Xi laughing in the background. With the US closing its own doors, China will open its doors open and wide.

God help us all. ?

The US citizens will be impacted by every trade war the US engages in. Every other country will only be impacted by 1 trade war with the US. We will suffer more.

Im sorry Canada. And the rest of the world as well. All I can say is a LOT of us did not support or vote for this insanity and we still stand with you all.

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

As an American living in America, Even I'm thinking being friends with the US is like having a pet bear... If we go rabid, do You have the ability to handle it? The way things are going, it's something to seriously consider.

In the USA. There is no justifiable or sensible reason to launch this trade attack on countries throughout the world. It hurts them, it hurts us (the working class American). This president makes any comment or accusation and insists we call it fact. I feel for Canada. America is in trouble too.

I really wish you had let us hear the PM answering the reporters. Just to give the American's a look at how it should be carried out.

A prolonged trade war with Canada will will smash the US economy. A prolonged trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and Europe, will END the US economy.\n\nPS: Dear Americans, your President is trying to ruin the market value of your country so him and his friends can buy it on the cheap...

Wow- Intelligent, Articulate and Rational ! Could you imagine if the buffoons leading the US & Russia displayed even half of that !!

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

Stop every drop of Canadian oil and gas exports to the US now, tell Trump he will be crippled, and more to come. It’s more than dumb Trump , it’s psychotic Trump

In Canada Trudeau has hurt us more with tax increases in last 5 years than Trumps tarrifs. Young people have next to zero chance to afford to buy a house. This is Trudeau's fault not Trumps!

Governor Trudeau, Canada has been imposing Tariffs to the US for years, you are a joke?

The new Cold War will have an economic front. The US is siding with Russia and Putin is dictating this.

I am from not US , maybe think about it why the drug consumption in US is so high ? is there a special reason ? no custermer no deal ?

US don't need Canada hey Russia is greater than Canada if you do the math sorry.

DONALD is doing this because he is a puppet of Putin and he will only bring us down.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Canada as 51st state? Heck … or US as the 11th Province.

Canada ? come join us in the European Union

Trump don’t care about his people, what he wants is make the investors invest in USA in order to not charge tariffs like if it were easy to do and get back on 2000 year when the baby Bush triggered the massive investment in china and out of us soil; smart punk then. Labor wages are more higher than in china or mexico or any other country.

Good for Canada. \nJust know at least half of us are with you and don’t want this turd.

putin and xi eating popcorn clapping their hands while watching trump wrecking the alliance ..US voted a clown 'now watched your circus

Trudeau must go! What a shameful display of his childishness. So creepy, so smug. Please God help us all.

Yes Fentanyl is a terrible thing. But I know for a fact its the 1st thing they give you in the hospital now a days in Canada for pain not sure about the United States. Obviously in very very small doses but im sure the price us right.

This ain't us, this is Trump and the old folks who are clueless about how things work in today's market. We do not stand with Putin - ✌️

Most of us Americans do not agree what he is doing . Trump is dumb we stand with u

Thanks Trudummy. Dont know why we had to wait for the orange troll to kick us in the ass for you to get off yours. Too busy taxing your citizens to death and driving business to the USA I guess

Fellow Americans ??…The Trump administration is setting us up for Worldwide rejection! ALL OF US ??
