The US are initiating fights with allies instead of standing up to our enemies. Your preseident is only looking out for himself and his legacy, not the US citizens. Basic economic theory teaches you that anything that prevents free trade leads to a poorer outcome for society. What he is doing right now is not going to make the lives of US citizens bette - quite the contrary

As a Canadian I can tell you all that we’re livid. The relationship between our two nations will never be the same.\n\n27% of Canadians now view America as an enemy and threat to our security, not an ally.

Hahaha please stop the theatre? making fake enemies to push all the plans through like carbontax...peeps, hope you see whats going on!

Trump has made us the enemy of every country except Russia. Not smart. The u.s will feel this. When people like Warren Buffet says this is an act of war well if you have spent time in the military you know trade wars are acts of war. America brace yourself.

I'm with Canada! It is ridiculous to start a trade war with our closest allies. Trump is an idiot bully, who thinks he is smart and strong, but he is weak and sucks up to our enemies.

Chump treats Americas allies like enemies and its enemies like allies!! How long does it take for Americans to WAKE UP and overthrow this corrupt administration??

In Europe, we feel exactly the same. This administration's loyalties lie along their confiscated party lines, and they are not for the American people despite their domestic narrative.\nThey are really the enemy from within for the US. Siding with US enemies, disrespecting Americans who don't share their views, allies and even poor Zelensky who's an actual patriot.\nIf they think they can fight the entire world and win, or that the world will bow to their attitude and demands on things that are not their concerns, they're dumber than we knew they are.

What the vast majority of people imagined was that the day the United States went to war, it would be with its worst enemies, Russia, Iran, North Korea. Almost no one imagined that the United States would declare war on friendly countries and trading partners. Of course, it is a trade war, but it could escalate into something much worse. Nothing should be ruled out, we have already seen that anything can be expected from Trump and his entourage.

Stop trying to speak to the Convict's good side because he has none. Canada Diversify away, realign, unite and form new trading blocks. Circle the wagon leaving the USA outside. It is clear they are moving on. Friends are now being treated like enemies.

Being the enemy to America is dangerous but being a friend is fatal

IT'S PUTIN THAT'S RUNNING USA,,,IT'S ALL ABOUT RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA &???????????AMERICA... ENEMIES WITHIN....WAIT WHEN THE CLOWN trump SENDS OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT ALONG SIDE WITH RUSSIA IN UKRAINE.....DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY DISMANTLE INTO PIECES....ALL FOR PUTIN...WHAT ELSE THAT MORON PROMISES PUTIN TO DESTROY AMERICA?....USA IS 1732 ???????

The world knows Trump is an enemy of any other country and a laughing stock of the world, The EU are now assessing there military perches within the EU NOT USA ??

With allies like these who needs enemies?

Trump will not be your dictator forever. We want to be friends with Americans not enemies.

This country is making more and more enemies daily.\nWere done for !

Much respect his speech was CRYSTAL CLEAR no insults honesty..\nTrump clearly SOLD AMERICA TO RUSSIA the enemy.??we are doomed Satan please come get your child bc what trump is doing is evil..

TRump is the enemy within! IMPEACH NOW!

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

Bravo Prime Minister. We Americans know you and Canada are our allies. Our true enemy is the current American administration- a puppet of Putin and an enemy of the American people.

The US is making lots of enemies in many places at the same time. They are being true to their essence. EU doesnt need that wasteland. Poland said it like a grown up man ✊?

Canada better do more than that. I support Canada hitting us hard. Trump is a NIGHTMARE and a TRAITOR to the US Constitution.\nDo your worst. ?? Many of us support you here. Trump is an enemy to democracy.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

God save us! Our people will be the collateral damage of our fool He has no value for our lives and those of our babiies, grandparents , disabled and suffering. We will miss our friends to the north and south of our nation. We will miss the respect of our Allies. Our leaders are replacing our Allies with our Enemies. We are aligned with evil leaders and shun democratic leaders around the world Shame on us !!

I gotta say that I'm not a liberal nor have I been a particular fan of Justin Trudeau... but today (and for the last few weeks) I've been quite impressed by my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This Canadian supports a vast and vicious trade war against the United States. I do not have any hatred for the American people but I do have nothing but contempt for Trump and his band of traitorous scum! I wouldn't have dreamed that our closest friend and ally could be siding with an enemy proclaimed (Russia) against democratic nations. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy everywhere and must be put down by the American people like a rabid dog!

tRump is an enemy of the state.

Good Job Trump-Bots. I hope you're happy. That dude came in office increasing unemployment by firing American citizens and making enemies all around the world

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Recent poll has 27% of Canadians now considering the U.S. as an enemy. Elbows up.

Putine loves this,... is like don't interrupt your enemy when making mistakes

So be it, guess who is the new enemy?

The USA is loosing his nearest allies this way by imposing tariffs and by siding with the enemy Putin. Trump is also alienating his own people by destroying the USA from within.

USA is an enemy now, until americans give Trump the JFK ''pill'''

Trump is not the enemy, we fight against demonic forces, Ephese 6:12. They are at game here. (hi from Holland) Let's pray for Trump and Musk.

As much as this might hurt me as an American, Trudeau will always have my respect for standing firm against our enemies and calling out the harms that Trump is causing to America and the world. Trudeau speaks truth and that is admirable.

The real reason is Trump is at war against liberal democracy, where ever he find it. Every thing à little bit leftish is a enemy. And yes, like Putin, every thing that could make some critic of is government is a enemy.

Isn't he increasing the carbon tax by 23% next month to all Canadians? It seems the enemy is inside the house

Trump the bully would rather pick fights with our friends than stand up to our enemies because he doesn't have the spine to stand up to Putin.

Making friends out of enemies and enemies out of friends. Trump's more incompetent than I could've ever imagined.

What is the purpose of US gov. of gaining enemies so quick all around the world, in different fields? This was the dream of all the MAGA supporters?

America first. If we let our Allies take advantage of us, we have no chance against our enemies. We look weak and divided to other countries. This show of strength shows we mean business. If we were a United Country Canada would gladly join us as the 51st State

As for CNN, you are not far from the enemy of the state!!!\nShame

We have to realise Trump has aligned itself to Russia,therefore America is the enemy of the free world.

I'm a REAL AMERICAN. I proudly Stand with Canada, Ukraine and all Sovereign Nations and allies.\n\nRussia and Putin ARE THE ENEMY!!\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!\n\nWe are United with Canada and we'll get through this TOGETHER.

Trump is an enemy of the US and should be treated as such.

Trump is an ENEMY to the well being of the United States and the world. He is NOTHING but a Putin puppet, and he's going to destroy America's economy. WHY are we allowing it?

Russia is no longer Trump’ arch enemy. Putin is his bro. Not mine, not ours.

Our allies are finding out just like we did that this criminal is bought and paid by Putin. He’s not your friend Donald Trump is the enemy of the state and the free world.

The US aren't friends, they are enemies. They need to learn respect. Good luck being a part of russia.

Trump running this country like one of his failed businesses. We about to be bankrupt because this convicted felon of a president is being controlled by the enemies of democracy ?

If this is what the usa think this is how to interact with friends you need no more enemies. And as Mr Trump loves deals so much he may be wanted to be treated like a dealer. Well...
