An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

Canada takes American liquor off the shelves. In Germany I saw today that my favorite restaurant replaced American CocaCola with German FritzCola (which tastes so much better, by the way) ?

From Germany: In short, if you want to come as a new member of the EU, you are very welcome. I would be delighted to welcome you

Trudeau is real leader! \nMuch respect from Germany. We are on Canada‘s side. I stopped buying stuff from America, no more CocaCola, Fast Food, Amazon and Netflix

Greetings from Europe, Germany?? ✌?what a speech ?? we should cooperate even more, I’m gonna go buy some extra delicious maple syrup right tomorrow, it goes so well in shakes, pancakes and crepe ?? I’m exited and corious if we have more Canadian products in our stores this year. ?♥️

Greetings from Germany, we stand by your side. ❤❤❤ \nWe should defend our freedom and our common values together more than ever!

Greetings from Germany. Stay strong and be sure, that americans are not the only ally you have.

Well Done. PM. ?? ?. Greeting from Germany

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

Insane Statement! We love Canada, from Germany! Let us unite against the tyrants

Hi from Germany. Dear Canadians, I hope the EU will create stronger ties with you in the future :)

From Germany: We stand with Canada. I hope Canada and Europe together can do enough against the madness of Trump and his buddys.

I’m: from Germany and we should welcome Canada to the European Community, we have so much more in common with Canada than we have with some of the countries in the EU, sabotaging the EU.

much love from germany

from Germany. i see the only solution in beeing with Europa

From Germany: The leftist woke shit is over you weirdo. We Germans also want a Trump so that the shit you leftists are spouting is finally over

From Germany: Trump wants as a benefit no taxes for companies in USA. The price for his household have to pay by duties from other countries. Drugs and so on are no real argue, he is saying only for his people at home. Now the inflation growing up all in the world and he wants to drop it, ha! Thats so silly! Or Moskau guided him.. On a long term, he shoot his country in his own knie!

This situation is unbelievable. Russia has been threatening to devastate Germany, and meanwhile, we find ourselves in conflict with Canada, a country that has always been a great friend and neighbor. Putin is simply waiting for the U.S. to withdraw from NATO, and he won’t hesitate to act once that happens. China will likely invade Taiwan amidst all this turmoil. Our entire government, regardless of political party, has failed the American people. Stocks are plummeting this morning, and energy costs are rising. How does any of this benefit anyone?

From Germany: I ♥Canada and its people! ?Stay strong!

We are ready for this fight Canada and Germany!!!bring it on!! Get ready to go hungry and get ready for your taxes to go up without our military!! Bad move Canada we are tired of your half ass support if that’s what you want to call it!! WE DONT NEED YOUR COUNTRY BUT YOU CERTAINLY NEED US!!

Bravo to the Canadian proud and patriotism from Germany - I deeply admire this! \nAnd to the Americans: Don’t just whine and feel ashamed: STAND UP AND DO SOMETHING NOW!

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

Canada is a failing disaster as long as Trudeau and his politics guide Canada. You fools that rally around and support this corrupt governance will get what you think you want. By the time you realize what you agreed to, we won't be able to help you. Biden almost did this country in ( not that he was running the country, who knows who was but he was in the seat), if camela won we would have been screwed. Germany and all of the UK will put people in prison for an unfavorable statement, public prayer is a criminal act in the UK. If this is not Naziism what is? Your countries are collapsing around your feet just as ours was. Pull the chute, people. There is a reason no one wants to live in N Korea.

I am with you CANADA. Grettings from northern Germany ?

Greetings from Germany. Trump and Vance are nothing more than puppets of Elon Musk. Every decent American should stand up and oppose these criminals.

I've been to the USA a couple times. I will not go there anytime soon, maybe never again. Greetings from Germany.

Germany also has an answer to the USA. An hour ago, it was announced at a press conference that Germany is spending 530 billion dollars on research, innovation and infrastructure. And there is no longer a limit for the defense budget. Thanks to the low national debt. While the US government is making cuts everywhere in these sectors.

... from germany also... we have to unit with all free demokratie around the World to resist the diktator billioners... Put away the Opium they display for... no more socialmedia, etc...

From Germany, every sane person in the world stands with you. We stand with you. Fuck Trump.

Canada lebe hoch!!!\nMany greetings from Germany

Trudeau! Thank you for being the representative everyone needs! As an American living in Germany, i support you, as do all my friends! Please dont give up on Americans. Be our voice! ❤ We believe in you!!!

Greetings from Germany. That was a great speech. I hope that Canada people will continue to stick together across Europe.You are a great people.

USA cuts itself off from the entire Western world and cuddles up to dictators. The oldest and most honorable democracy in the world, the USA, should be ashamed of itself! Regards from Germany

Canadians, be strong. It's insane what happens in the US. Greetings from Germany

From Germany ??: We support Canada in their approach. And we support Canada in speaking up. We share common values and we look forward for an increasingly closer cooperation, as Germans and Europeans.

It might sound surreal, but I hope that the orange fas*i$t will destroy our economy. I'm afraid that this is the only way to wake up the remaining fanboys from their daydream that this president (not my president) will make America great again. It makes me sick that he has sided with russia, the most evil regime since Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and acts like a brutal bully with our best friends and closest allies.

Im going to be buying Canadian Maple Syrup, Canadian Whiskey and other Canadian products this week in Germany (no more US goods thank you)

Yeah for Canada, to hell with Donald Trump. He is the most stupid person to ever occupy the Oval Office. He is a total disgrace along with the entire new republican party, they are Nazi Germany resurrected. It is a disgrace what MAGA has done.

Canada join Canada, France, Germany and UK

I always liked Canada. Now I like it even more. From Germany. ❤

Let's start trading.\nWith love ❤from Germany ?? / Europe ??

I have to say, daamn thats a good speach and a good leader. I wish germany had someone like that

Love from Germany to Canada ❤

How did Trump win the guy is a idiot. From a person living in Germany thinking this must be a joke

It is evident that comments like the one from @robertedward7023 demonstrate many, many people do not know what took place at the meeting before this meeting which should have made this meeting a simple signing of the agreement. VP Vance corrected Zelensky for his attempt to propagate his agenda and now that Germany, France and others--as NATO countries--have jumped in, there could be consequences resulting in war if they continue to push for it. As far as Trudeau, he is on his way out according to his own resignation and he has just done Canada wrong with the faulty reasoning. I thank all military veterans for their service, but I do not approve of what they say blindly.

I am from Germany and I admire the Canadians in this. Let me know where to order some stuff from Canada.

From Germany to Canadians: Canada has the highest respect from what's left of the West. Stay strong. Stay vigilant. Don't lose who you are and keep standing up for what is right. It's easy to say, but there are more important things in life than money and power. America has lost its soul. Let's keep ours and move forward as true friends and allies.

I stand with Canada! Greetings from Germany

México and Germany are with Canadá and Ukraine! ❤do not backdown to a imperialist fascist dictator!

This is a real LEADER! I am very impressed by Prime Minister Trudeau and very jealous that we do not have such a first-class leader in Germany!
