Trump is a Russian Spy trump is not American he is Russian born in the USA I quess next he will change Americas name to Russian United States and Congress will probably allow him to do the Supreme Court Judges and Congress oath of office is to Trump not the We the People

Well 25% tariffs from Mexico and 25 % from Canada, You Americans, for your own good and for democracy better impeach your president and his people.

Trudeau the American people stand with President Trump don't poke the bull cuz you will get the horn

When a Canadian starts to speak sternly to you, you know: Shit is coming. As a German, I am with the Canadian people. Please, don’t let yourselves get confused: Trumps blisteringly incompetent management is what the 36% of Americans who voted for him deserve, as well as the about 30% of Americans who DIDN’T vote at all. Sorry for the other about 34%. On a side note: Amazing, how Trudeau still flatters Trump at the end. Very diplomatic and manipulative. Because Trump is so dump, he falls for shit like that.

How the American people vote and elect a Guy like Trump ?? Unbelievable..\nWell done Canada !!

You don't need to worry about us, the American people. You must worry about your people. You will go down, if you don't agree with our terms. No more SUCKING!!!!

As a American.. i stand with Canadas decision.. its unfortunate that we have a child a felon a Russia loving president.. if which i can't believe people voted in to destroy America.. Go for it Canada.. fuck Trump..

Nothing but two people trying to do what they think is best for their own countries. I'm not mad at that, but Trudeau for the sake of his country, will make it harder on us by his tarrifs which tells me how much she really cares for Americans, not more than his. Which I'm fine with. You have to take care of your own, but tit for tat isn't good for anyone.

I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

As an American I’m proud and glad that Canada isn’t putting up with Trumps nonsense. Do what you need to do Canada, the American PEOPLE love you ❤

This is sad Canadian people don't deserve this American people don't deserve this Primeminster Trudeau good address to your people and the American people Keeping it real hard times for both countries ahead

The best leader ever trump will pay for this with the cost on American people

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

Well done canada for standing your ground....having family there I know how strong the feeling is amongst Canadians.....be proud of who you are and take your produce , minerals and oil and deal with people who will treat you like an equal respected partner .I've no doubt europe will be next ......the american government will slowly isolate itself from its western partners and that's s real shame for the American public .......it'll cost jobs in the us cause inflation and it's gonna get a lot more expensive for everyone

If the Canadian government wants to compete commercially with the US government, it doesn't have to threaten the American people that it will increase inflation in America. What Canada has to do is comply with what the US government has told it. The US has told Canada to stop drug trafficking from Canada to the US. That's all. But they haven't done it. Canada won't gain anything by threatening the US.

Canada is already owned by USA. All our major businesses are American owned. We even sold our Fighters Jets, oil, lumber and natural resources for pennies. The Canadian people need tax cuts. The native Canadians live without clean water in Reserves all across northern Canada in third world conditioms. All the goverment projects go to mafia groups who run the construction industry and tied to federal governments. Who is the bad guy? I dont know...but we the peasants pay for it while they steal and shift it to us.

The embarrassment of trump and the American people

Trump should be tried for treason. He is clearly a Russian asset, or at least some other asset than our own. Every day he makes moves to dismantle our democracy. To destroy this country. To rob the American people of their jobs, lives, and dignity. TRUMP DOES NOT WORK FOR US. Now wants his face on the 100 dollar bill?! He must be insane, and is not fit to serve this country.

You have no success on American people! We support president Trump! He does what he promises. Unlike you, globaliste puppet!

Trump is a shame to the American people!!!

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

From the American people to Trudeau we hate you Canadians are cool but you ruined that country

The American people do not want this, either! Trust me, we all know exactly who is to blame!

I am an American, I do not like this trade war, this makes me so angry that Trump would use this terrif against your country & Mexico. People in our country does love Canada❤ & Mexico❤️

TRUMP JUST WANTS TO GET RICHER OFF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND RUSSIA

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

As a veteran I find traitor trump's actions to Canada, Mexico as total ly stupid. His actions will hurt the American people more than we can imagine. Aligning with putin is treasonous, cause that's what traitors do.

It will be the American people who will end up worse off putting tariffs on goods coming into the country, you got what you voted for, wake up & smell the coffee Trumps promises are FAKE promises….

Thank you maga this president will defenitely make us last in every which way and form. Your pockets will be empty , while he continues to milk the system for every penny he can and do things to get big corporation to give home more money at the expense of the American people. He is taking your job so he can reward the wealthy with even more and taking away Medicare and social security. This president will make sure that we the people are the last to benefit from his presidency.

The American people know government s have abused their people to long .

In times like this, it an opportunity for leaders around the world to show competence and leadership. American people must be smarter than their leader, they seem hypnotized. Hope when they wake up, wont be too late to repair the damage.

I don’t believe anything from cnn. They lie to the American people.

Thank you for setting limits on the oligarchs! They understand nothing except money into the toll booths they've set up in the pathways to acquire products. They care nothing for the American people, let alone any other people. They are not interested in anything but disrupting and dismantling the US economy, as well as every other economy except Russian, so that they can THINK that they are controlling the world. As they are groveling at the feet of the Russian dictator, they are under the illusion that they will rule along side him. They will not and will be kicked aside as soon as they are no longer useful to him.

The American people hear you! We know exactly to where to pin blame. ??one more thing! This will go over big at his State of the Union speech.

Portuguese here: Canada and EU need to show the American people that they need to rise against this disgrace that's happening at the moment\nFascism never again!

I think a lot of people assume that countries like Canada aren't capitalist behemoths like the U.S. because we can't be - but it's because we don't WANT to be. Largely, the population wants to succeed by ways that don't make everyone else suffer, because a rising tide raises all boats. \nSoon, the wealthy American will have to reckon with the fact that a desperate and underemployed, oppressed, poverty-imposed public costs more in the long run. In profits, in security risk, in social behaviors and in health.

As an American I definitely understand why Canada is doing this. Our current government here sucks. Counting down till the day trump is out of office. Thank you for standing up for yourself and your people. Guarantee that is pissing trump off

As an American. This is trump and his cult. The American people stand with Canada

Canada is scared and it's trying to scare the American people with their Bluff

Our government didn't decide to do this.Trump decide to do this and he does not represent all of the american people

It is sad that another country's leader has to address the American people in a way that the American Congress can not seem to muster up enough sense to realize and speak about.\n\n CONGRESS! GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUTTS AND GET IT TOGETHER.

And from me to you as an American citizen we are tired of people taking advantage of us..

As an American we are screwed. However voted for Trump literally tucked millions of people off.

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

Fear is a bitch when you've been exposed MAGA is for the American people!!! Love it or leave it❤

I am an American but I stand with Canada. The Trump administration is destroying our country. We the people need to take our country back.

We the American people voted him to stop the killing, that’s why he want to negotiate with Putin??????
