It’s never about fentanyl or migrants crossing at the borders. He is persuaded by Putin to end relationship with Canada, (the closest ally to US on geographical and trades) to ensure US will focus on developments with Russia only.

The USA is now without friends around the globe: well except for Putin’s Russia. Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans are all united against Trump and his cabal.

Trump is not even close to being smart. The six time bankrupt is bending over backwards to give Putins Russia everything it asks for. Trump is now a puppet of Putin.

This is only my opinion It is all about Canada being a Liberal Democracy, Putin ,now Trump agree, that Canada should not exist, a pretext to invade, Soviet Russia from the North and Fascist America from the South.

Russia has always had Trump as a puppet, and he is doing exactly what Putin wants. Can anyone explain this in a way that makes sense? Canada?? Putin wants to destroy democracy, and what better way than through an Orange Turd? Americans you did this, so only you can undo this.

I deeply regret what has happened to Ukraine and the US in supporting Putin. However, when Azerbaijan spoke out about the injustices we suffered at the hands of Armenia—with the backing of Russia—the world did not stand with us. Instead, without proper investigation, they sided with the aggressors, making an unfair judgment. At that time, I prayed for their eyes to be opened. Now, tragically, it seems like karma has come full circle. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine, and I sincerely feel for their suffering.

anyone figure out yet that Russia would love for the EU to approach them along with Ukraine with a truce proposal without US involved so that Trump looks like a problem... and separates us from our long term allies looking like people you cant trust. \n \nthe great deal maker is being played by putin. \n \nhe has divided the alliance, and now has singled out USA as outside the circle. This president is driving us into the dirt.

TRUMP : MAKE RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN !!! PUTIN IN FIRST !!!

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

This makes sense. Trump has aligned with Putin. So why would we want to be friends with Canada. We have chosen Russia.

Why does he talk to trump as if he were an ally of Canada? It should have become clear by now that trump is an agent of Russia. Putin’s puppet. Trump is carrying out Russian instructions.

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

His comments are well taken to heart.But for this administration to side with Putin / Russia is plain wrong.

I am a military veteran from midwestern United States and a former intelligence analyst from the end of the cold war... we are friends with Russia now? F*ck you Trump and f*ck you Putin! God bless Canada, Mexico, Europe, and especially Ukraine! I hope to see my true friends resume good relations with us when this f'n cartoon of a president is out of office.

Fellow Canadians, and Americans too, you have to open your eyes and realize that Putin put Trump in power in America. This was all predicted, just watch all the ex-KGB agents discussing that this was a 20 year plan by Russia to divide & conquer the west economically and politically, in parallel to military invasion.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

This baffling behaviour by Trump and his administration is sinister. He is dismantling the NATO alliance which is the main defensive safeguard against a malevolent Putin regime. He focuses on Ukraine, a victim of naked aggression, as the party which needs to make concessions. No criticism is levelled at the Putin regime. Russia could not imagine behaviour more favourable to them .\nBut furthermore, Trump appears to be diminishing the USA in terms, not only of economic power, but also reputation, international respect, military status and World influence. \nOne wonders whether Trump is deliberately doing this as part of his allegiance to Putin? Is he in fact a Russian asset? He could not be more successful if her were so?

This Prime Minister of Canada is a decent human being and Canadians are very lovely people.\nSorry Trump loves Putin and Russia more than Canadians.\nTrump a moral bankrupt human being. He hates democracy.

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

Let's be blunt. A madman was propelled into the most powerfull position in the world because swing states tilted the outcome of this rigged election. A madman, an extremely deranged individual that will turn the US into a mirror image of putin's russia. Explain to me why people chose to vote against themselves? Some people chose to allow a madman to drag them into their own destruction, I did not!

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

The U,S arrogance thinks it can out evil Satan himself. Russia is death. Putin sits with Assad too.

The trade war is a distraction and an excuse. Trump is about to lift sanctions on Putin and re establish relations with him. Trump will buy oil from Russia and will eventually divide the planet among them including Xi maybe. Trump is a megalomaniac like Putin and he idolizes him along with other dictators and authoritarians on the planet and his cult members support every step.

America here. Canada, stay strong. Our government is operated by the corrupted. The WH, GOP Congress, GOP Supreme Court all controlled by the war criminal Putin. Trump and Co. will bury the US. It's all lies and corruption from DC now. Stay strong Canada, Mexico, and China. Trump/GOP Congress is owned by Russia. You saw how Trump deserted the Ukraine to a war criminal. Trump will do the same to you. To the free world.

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

I have made it make sense! ?\n\nTrump is and always has been a Putin Hack. His mission is to destroy America and our Allies.\nThis is what the KGB agent Vladimir Putin wants.\n\nPeople wake the F up!!! ?\n\nAmerica is not Russia's friend or Ally. We are their enemy, if you've forgotten that we're doomed ?

You cannot make a deal with the Devil!!\nTrump and Putin have a plan to destroy the West.\nIt will have the opposite effect as countries in the free World unite.\nAmerica (Trump) is committed to Russia, and he has been their 'boy' for 20 years.\nThe cowardly Republican Party will not stand up to this Psychotic traitor/rapist/felon/coward/\nand liar.\nHe has to be removed before it is too late!

Thank you for not consorting with communist pigs like chump Canada a democratic country should never allied with any communist or dictator or terrorist putin is all of those hes not an elected leader hes a dictator he took control of russia kills anyone who speaks against him you praising him alone with nazis is sick and un American its so scary that america is happy to work with the free world’s greatest enemy….

JFK has been assasinated at the order of the highest ranking soviet officials namely Chruschev and top communist party officials and secret s. ppl in Soviet Russia knew about it when it happened in the 60's.... Now Trump delceread all JFK files to be released immediately, He is not doing it. Instead he is alligning with Putin in KGB vision of Europe. Do I need to explain more to you?

With all due respect, Trudeau is a JOKE. He is out due to screwing with our economy. He is looking Good at the moment due to Trump (lets be honest even putin looking better than trump right now). That being said Tradeau is gone! We will have a conservative government that is going tougher on USA if this continues. \n\nI rather due buisines with USA and mexico, then take it to China, russia or any other country.

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…

Putin is right. He is good for Russia ??

There are a few thousand american military bases around the world. Once you end alliances, they are gone. USAs is gonna have a bad time deploying their troops anywhere outside florida. Its a logistical question. Aint no friends around to solve it either apart from russia. Im just gonna say it America is Russia. Lets put it even better Russia owns america. America is trump wearing a latex harness, and putin is leading him towards the bed to get pissed on by russian prostitutes. ( I love russian prostitutes myself, but they should not be part of politics is all im saying)

From an Army veteran, I stand with Canada. Trump is working for Putin & Russia. America is not America right now.

Republicans want to have Russian values now, everyone there is ALL White, Anti-DEI, Christian and submissive to ONE political party, Republicans want dictatorship with Eastern Values not Western, USA will end NATO and Europe allience to be totalitarian like Putin's Russia!

This American trade war against Canada has NOTHING to do with Fentanyl - That is à puerile pretext. The American motive is far more sinister: crush Canada and once they’re desperate, extract concessions, up to an including annexation. The US is now a 19th century Imperialist Oligarchy , modelled on Putin’s Russia.

I wonder why Trump sees it's wise to abandon the West and align with, well - Putin's Russia?!

Trump is not working with Putin. He has tried to get both Russia and the Ukraine to set down and talk and end the war. Trump has been doing this because the US has been taken advantage of all countries. So get your facts straight.

To our European friends, be careful. American hostility looks bad right now. But the bigger danger is Russia disinformation. America is hostile to Canada and Europe because Putin is using disinformation to radicalize the citizens of democratic countries. America has fallen victim and is divided today. Don't let Russia do the same thing to you. I am already noticing European also becoming radicalized slowly. Russian disinformation must stop now or Europe will fall apart the very same way. The very first step is to learn how Russian disinformation works, including Russian bots and trolls. And use social media less.

I keep thinking Trump has some deals lined up w Putin to make money..not only for him, but for Ivana and Jared, and his bumbling sons. Trump just wants to make money for him and his family. I think thats why hes cozying up to Russia. Oh, and I forgot...he wants to rule the world!

YOU CANT MAKE HEADWAY WITH PUTINS KGB AGENT IN THE WHITEHOUSE....\n\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING STRONG FOR CANADA AND CANADIANS.\n\nWE WILL NOT BOW TO RUSSIA AKA USA

Will Fox Fakenews show this to the Magaaaaaa ? But putin's interests fisrt, make Russia great again, this is the goal of Putin's puppets.

The U.S. is looking for new partners...Good Luck with RUSSIA...Putin will eat Donald for breakfast...

Trump is selling us out to Russia. Don't be surprised when all our rights are taken away, and Putin becomes Vice President, or President. Very frightening times right now.

It's the truth. Americans better rewatch the Movie Red Dawn where Russia takes over America. It's happening. Putin is running America through his Best and highest paid Agent. I honestly can't believe it.

Can I say I am not a huge fan of Trudeau, but I take my hat off and say bravo for this speech. Calling Putin a 'lying, murderous dictator' is absolutely correct. In recent days all Trump's YES people when asked direct simply questions like 'Was Russia and Putin responsible for the invasion of Ukraine', simply can't bring themselves to answer anymore. We talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome, well all these Trump ring kissers are suddenly suffering from Putin Infatuation Disorder, one of the key symptoms being an inability to criticise or apportion wrong doing or blame on Putin. Bravo again Trudeau for being blunt, honest and direct, this orange ape needs to go.

Poland has a no-nonsense approach to illegal Muslim migrants. AMAZING that Belarus has so many Muslims trying to invade Poland. Belarus has no Muslims, nor does it border a Muslim nation. But it does RUSSIA. Open your eyes. Putin is part of this to undermine NATO. Belarus does nothing to stop this. Hmm

War according to trump: \n2022:anti russia, pro ukraine, pro us\n2023:anti putin, pro ukraine, pro us\n2024:pro russia, anti ukraine funding, pro us \n2025:pro putin, anti zelenky, anti us europe realeationships \n??

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.
