American here! We stand with Ukraine, Canada and the rest of Europe! Fuck Russia!

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

This is not US goverment this is Trump doing destroying the west \nTrump is bias of Putin\nWhy people of USA do not go on the street to Support Ukraine at least to show solidarity\nTrump offers Zelenski Capitulation and that gives Putin Wings to continue to take the rest of Ukraine and slowy whole Europe\nHe wants to reverse Reagan-Gorbacov history and with Trump he will succeed\nThis is Weaker America not stronger America\nHomer Simpson will do better than Trump

WE DO NOT WANT HIM OR THE REST THE MORONS THAT FOLLOW HIM. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IT. DONALD. LOL. MAYBE DONALD HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL

Maybe Trump could get Melania to translate in another language for him in his public speeches - maybe French, Italian or even Spanish so the rest of our adversaries citizens can understand what he’s saying. ?

In Canada, there is a lot of divisiveness between our conservative and liberal political parties. But what is incredible is how much support Trudeau holds in this trade war conflict . While his reign is nearly over, nationally all political parties have come together (in majority numbers) for a unified approach. Trump has single-handedly ostracized the United States from the rest of the world.

Way To go Justin?U have to stand up to this cowardly, jerk, bully. I say this as a true USA patriot. Hope the rest of the world does the same.

Oh but trump needs the millions he'll get from the traiffs. He like his budt Rudy he is broke . He'll make sure that he gets a percentage, so will musk and the rest of his croonies that he has appointed to high level offices

True Americans stand with you, Canada, and the rest of the West. We will not falter. We will stay strong. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Trump and rest of clowns burning down our country. STOP THE MADNESS!

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

Thanks for your reply to this outrageous decision from America, Australia and the rest stands behind you ?????

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

Shame! Shame! Shame on You, Trump and and J.D Vance and the rest of the devil ? people who voted for you! From Canada ??

Well done. Please don’t loop the disaster of the Republicans with the rest of us.

Come on the rest of the decent world we can make a stand against the USA. Don’t buy Tesla. Don’t buy Ford. Don’t buy Nike. Don’t buy Apple. Buy Samsung, Adidas. French & German cars. Buy beers & wine from many countries & not the USA. Then with finances try to avoid American banks & credit card companies & shares. Even at a basic level we can all make a difference. Our governments all need to make a difference & trade more with each other rather than the USA it will be tough & take a while but we can break away from this hideous nation & need to do so asap.

The stock market has no connection to the American economy. Our GDP stomps on the rest of the world, check the numbers.

Donald clearly is ahead of the rest of us in the fight against climate change, understanding as he does that a painful recession will lead to a deep reduction in the production of greenhouse gases as people cut back on their spending. If only we could see it as clearly as he does. Surely he will make his intentions clear by undertaking a farsighted austerity program, limiting his flights to Mar A Lago for golf outings.

To the rest of the world: As an American citizen, I just want to say that I'm sorry our population was dumb enough put an incompetent, fascist, narcissistic conman fuckhead into the white house where he could screw everything and everyone (us included) up. Not all of us voted for this or want this. Not all of us are dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.

This American stands with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico. I also stand with Ukraine and the rest of Europe. ?????????

Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

Trump is having an ego trip, doing crazy things just because he can…. And the rest of the world is either laughing, or worrying.

As an American I can say we don’t support the idiocy that is Trump’s tariffs. Those who voted for him are about to learn what tariffs are. The rest of us already knew, but were outvoted by idiots.

God bless Canada! DOWN WITH TRUMP! HE IS A CONVICTED FELON AND BELONGS BEHIND BARS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

I stand with Canada & with Mexico. Trump needs to be impeached as do all of the rest of his circus. Musk needs to be deported. Thank you PM Trudeau for having the strength & courage to not back down from this shit show we have in our administration.

It's crazy how trumps lunacies brought the rest of the world closer together. There is always beauty in the dark

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Agent Orange Lord Voldemort started the trade war. The rest of us Americans(who have common sense and didn’t vote for him) are just getting pulled right into it. It sucks feeling you have no control over what the moron in the White House and his minion morons do with our government.

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

AMERICA: One thing you guys may not grasp yet.... we may be nice, but we love a fight and when you come at some of us... you automatically come at ALL of us. To the MAGA people of america: F×#$ You. To the rest, we get its not your fault. ELBOWS UP!!!!! CANADA STRONG!!!!!!!!!! ?? ? ?? ?

Millions of Americans and especially those of us in blue states do NOT support Donald and his fascist party. We are with you Canada and the rest of the free world

As a Canadian, I don’t always agree with Trudeau but much respect to him for this statement & the rest of our country’s leaders for getting together to navigate this storm!!!❤❤

I stand on trump with the rest of the sane world.

If trump thinks for a moment that he and putin can ally against the rest of the world in trade, or in any other way, he's delusional. Putin is NOT trustworthy and will renege on any agreements he makes, that's what he does.

And it wouldn't occur to anybody in the US to ask themselves WHY they stimulate this enormous Fentanyl trafficking and consumption? I mean let's get this straight - if they wouldn't consume Fentanyl like sweets there would not be a problem. So the problem is the US addiction rate and btw it's not the job of the rest of the world to f*cking to watch over US citizens like they are kids. Grow the fck up and deal with your problems instead of blaming others.

Ohioan here. Mr. Trudeau is such a mature, smart, and reasonable man, and straight to the point. I agree with him on everything except for one thing. He called Donald, smart. I’m sorry Mr. Trudeau, but I must disagree. Donald is not smart. In fact, Donald is not fit to hold office. Donald, must be removed from office along with the rest of his clan.

Best friends, don't rest on their laurels!

So impressed with Trudeau and Canada as a whole. This should make any self respecting American citizen feel embarrassed to compare their apology for a president to this man and his team. P.S. Note to Trudeau - Trump is NOT a very smart guy, don't do what the rest of the world is trying to do, flatter this susceptible idiot hoping to get him on side, it won't, it just makes him certain that he is so special and clever and makes his behaviour 100% worse.

Congratulations to Trump. He has sought out to apparently “put America first”. But all it appears he is accomplishing is galvanising the rest of the free world against the United States. My sincerest apologies to the American people you have been truly led astray

Canadian here(Quebec) I feel sad for all the Whiskey industries in Kentucky, those workers didn't deserved the counter-effects of the tarifs. Everything can be done with respect & diplomacy, but it's not the road President Trump took. Fellow Americans, I am very sorry about that, rest assured that us here, we make the difference between your President & all of you.

The rest of the world should put tariffs on america that will hurt them ?

I'm very happy to see a world leader openly stand up to the Orange Menace, I hope even more allies do the same and the Trumptards that voted for him see just how ignorant they were to waste their vote and screw the rest of us that voted the Right way.

As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

The US undermining Canada, Europe, and the rest of western allies only benefits the Kremlin.\n\nPutin must be delighted his master plan to weaken democracies and NATO is actually working.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Wesley Clark is a tool. \n\nHe knows very well that the US cannot get in a shooting with Russia. Not only due to the possibility of a nuclear exchange, but a shooting conflict with Russia is a golden opportunity for China to take Taiwan and for a full scale war to break out in the Middle East. Not only between Iran and Israel, Egypt has been building up forces near Israel as well. \n\nThe US can’t fight and win a 3 theatre war. Aka WWIII. \n\nEveryone knows these tariffs are about the USMCA, in addition to drugs and aliens. This could have been averted. They know it. They’d rather let their people suffer than give up a favorable trade imbalance for a slightly less favorable trade imbalance. \n\nBut for Trudeau to invoke appeasement knowing the real stakes. And knowing that the only thing preventing hostilities breaking out elsewhere in the world is the US having freedom of action to respond, is shameful. \n\nAnd Wesley Clark, along with the rest of the neocon geopolitical apparatus, being willing to flirt with WWIII because Trump is pulling the plug on their imperial project in Ukraine.. downright traitorous.
