Bro don't say they, say trump and vance. Joe Citizen would never disrespect Canada this way.

In Zelnskey disastrous white meeting, Trump echoed Russian propaganda by saying ww3. Well, Trump's actions may very well lead to that. If you were China, you'd move on Tiawan. Putin could expand his war in Europe against Nato. Disastrous policies.

I am from Europe. Lithuania. I will say the opinion that is dominant in my country: Ex President Joe Biden was not the sharpest knife in the drawer because he is of a respectable age, but he was a smart politician, he respected his neighbors and the all of Europe respected him. Trump destroyed everything in one month, he acts like Putin by attacking his neighbors. We are stand with Ukraine and Canada. I hope one day to visit Canada for incredible natural beauty. ( if we Lithuanians don't have to go to war with Ruzzia )

All of these comments from Americans, saying you stand with Canada. Trump is just doing the same thing Canada has done to us. You people need to research the tariffs Canada has implemented in the past. Trump isn't going to let Canada and Ukraine use America anymore.

I have heard many people call Trump many things. Accusing him of being smart is probably the most off base thing I've ever heard anybody say about him? There is nothing smart about idiot Trump

THIS is how you address Trump and his administration, not only addressing the trade war but directly saying that Trump has sided with Putin and Russia. \nDiplomacy went out the window when Trump and Vance attacked Zelensky in the people’s house. Diplomacy went out the window when Trump blamed Zelensky for the war in Ukraine and called him a “dictator”

I am an American that says F*** Trump! I don't want to leave Nato. I know how this s*** works. Together we are strong!

Trudeau, you crook, you very conveniently say that you are putting the 25% tariff after we did it-but its the OTHER way around. You and Mexico have been putting the 25% during Bidens time and Biden would not reciprocate. Dont play with Trump?

As a Brit I say bravo to Canada - do the American public understand how toxic Trump is. It's just crazy!

I wouldn't say that Trump is a smart guy; it's the fact that he's a grandiose malignant narcissist that got him where he is.

Trump is a moron and everyone knows it, no one has the balls to say it .

I like trump for some things he does what he says . But this tariffs is a wrong move that doesn't serve anyone . it hurts every side working together makes you stronger division makes you weaker

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Trump is starting a new world order, read the bible! Trump says he is a Christian wrong he is not he is the devil that walks among us! I love my country. And the USA was always our neighbor! This is sad ???

The tables have turned my friends... Buckle up, batten down... Trump is loyal to no one... America wasn't suffering for lack before this change of govt... Just look at their arms bill $$$... But Trump is like Freddy from elm street with the slashing hand... Slashing away at friends and foes... Yep, like Jason with the machete ... You short-termed memory voters unleashed the beast upon yourselves and the world... ?? Bravo... But a nation usually gets the leader it deserves, sorry to say.??

Says the guy that told Trump when asked about the number one way the United States could hurt Canada would be through tariffs. PS - Oh no, $155B. What is that, like 4% of US imports? We will be fine. Go rip off someone else and fund your own defense.

This is what a true leader says and does. Trump is the exact opposite = a blabbering fool that insults others and is an embarrassment for our great country which is America. Make America Great Again = Impeach Trump now.

Born a liar always a liar this is who trump is and he will continue to liar to the dumbest Americans who believes whatever he says. What a dumbest tariff decision!!!

What would be good is to also explain factually to what Trump says the negative trade amount is to what it actually is. Need the facts shown.

Austria here. Trump himself is the biggest scam ever. He says „make America great again“ while isolating it, breaking with allies, constantly telling lies, cuddling Putin as he would be his best friend. In truth he is obviously a Russian allie.

Trump is such an idiot, and so are his followers. They are going to pay for this, not the Canadian government. Despite Trump and his clowns say it's not. Another one of their lies.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

First you need to inform the American people that, despite what Trump says. Tarrifs are paid by the importing country, not the exporting country!

Donald Trump made Trudeau a man. Finally he talks like a man not a woke who insisted to say people kind instead of mankind.

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

Wow - what a speech.\nNever heard it before in such a manner from a politican.\nI have to say this as a german.\nWish we had in germany someone who speaks clear facts and talks directly to the people.\nAdmiring that he also speaks directly to Trump - in clear words.\nMuch respect to Canada.\nStanding with you ❤️.\n\nHopefully wars will end immediately.\nPeace worldwide.

Seen from overseas in Europa I can only say that Trudeau's speech is excellent. Canadians can be vrey proud to have a Prime Minister like him. Trump on the other hand is like a kid playing with matches. US americans are not the problem Trump is the problem.

Trump will respond by saying ?? I won the election by a lot

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

They didn’t play the clip where the Prime Minister says these tariffs are about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump can annex Canada. He is speaking the truth. Trump needs to be removed!

So people in the administration says that if Canada actually decreases the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border things may change? Last year 19 kg were seized at the Canadian border, if they decrease that to 15, will that be enough? It’s such massive bullshit an nothing about it makes sense. The only way to make sense of Trump’s “diplomacy” is if he’s being paid directly by Russia and China.

I stand behind Canada and Mexico. I wish people would think for themselves though. Believing every single thing Trump says is the stupidest thing anyone could ever do but MAGAs aren’t educated anyways.

Donald Trump say he's a teetotaler but I seriously doubt it.

Isn't Trudeau the same guy who invited a real Ukrainian Nazi WW 2 veteran in his nation? Um yeah. Isn't Trudeau the same guy who wore black face in college? Yes he did it \n Isn't Trudeau the same fascist who stole working class Canadians during COVID bullshit? Yes \n Ok keep it real, Trump's a duchebag like Biden and as a independent voter in America I'm just saying we get the shit sandwich lemmings in both nations voted for or were the only options allowed

CANADA YOY ARE LIKE A ANT ? AMERICA IS LIKE A ELEPHANT ? ELEPHANT CRUSHES AND ANT ? YALL WILL SAY UNCLE SOON WE ARE GETTING CANADA AND GREENLAND AND PANAMA AND MEXICO JUSTIN DONALD TRUMP IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A SPANKING JUSTIN SETTLE DOWN

oh no he insulted Trump by not saying Pressy Trump and saying thank you for the Tariffs

There’s a MAGA clown watching this right now shaking their head in disgust saying “what a evil demonic man, he is literally lying about everything he should be in jail for the rest of his life, Trump needs to take over Canada”

Trump wants to be a dictator so he's trying to create chaos in America so he can say I can fix it

Agent Orange openly and repeatedly says he ADMIRES N Korea’s Kim author of one of the most hellish deathscapes the world has ever seen. Literally starving the N Korean people to death. And Trump again recently said he wanted that same kind of authority over “my people.” And yet a majority of white Americans voted him in anyway. How spiritually lazy and morally bankrupt we have become. All support to Canada and Ukraine and ZERO for Putin and Kim.

Trump belittles Zelensky our ally calling him a dictator, saying he started the war three years ago. He belittles our ally Trudeau by calling him governor. This is wrong. I'm sorry Canada. This is no way to treat an ally.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

He did say a lie. Donald Trump is NOT Smart

Is it a trade war? President Trump says it is not. We have to determine wisely that it is or not. A trade war is always harmful and impacts all over globe. It is harmful for us the people of this country as well.

Bottom line is Trump & Vance & the people who voted for them are complete idiots. Easing sanctions on Putin? Saying Ukraine started the war? Next Trump, mirroring his buddy Putin being in office since 1999, will try to stay in office for years & years.

Trump knows this is wrong but it’s more about his presidential legacy. He wants to be a president talked about in history books for centuries like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln and with ALL of his controversial antics….I’m sad to say it…he will?

I am 100% Maga, and Now I say F. Trump and F. Maga , I am no longer

Trump is going to isolate America from its closest allies and then our enemies will attack us Americans at our weakest when all our allies has cut ties with us!! And this is what Zelenskyy was saying the other day in the oval office, “you will feel it one day”. Trump is going to lead us into a war and who will have our back NO ONE!!!

As a canadian, even though we don't like trump, im pretty sure we hate trudeau more, no mater what he says hes still a moron.

I don't know if this makes any difference or not because with trump and the fools in the republican party running things it seems like we have no say on anything. I think it's absolutely despicable how he has cheated his way into the White House again. \nWe stand with you Canada. If the Democrats can kick him out of the White House we will.\nThere are a lot of people who do not want anything to do with what he's doing. Don't hang us all because of his evil ways.\nAs I said we stand with Canada, and Mexico. God be with us all! Amen
