We are still friends with the allies...not so much any longer, '40.
... our friends have been taking advantage of us for decades. Pure, unadulterated BS, '40. Canada has always (since 1812 anyway) had your back. Remember Iran in '79? The thousands of air travellers we took care of in the 9/11 tragedy, your closest friend and trading partner? Yet Trump comes up here and insults our country and Prime Minister? The backlash has already started, even within the Republican party. It's not going to be a nice ride...
Canada and the US have been friends and close allies since 1812, correct. We still are. Canada and the U.S. are still friends, but not so much with Washington. We currently have a disagreement on Trade. I'd categorize it as a trade war, not a disagreement. We will work it out. There is no other option.
Your PM attacked Trump, thus the US, as he flew out to meet with North Korea. He did NOT attack Trump, and anything he said, he's been saying it publicly for a short while now. Nothing new there...

Quick is key for success. trump has the attention span of a gnat in a cloud of crack smoke.
You stole that part from Trump as he just called Kim that.
#fakenews trump couldn’t turn a phrase like that. It’d sound more like this from trump...”Met with Kim. Great guy. Strong leader. Loved my tie. We’ll do great plans. Really great. Believe me. America will win bigly. “
so i guess im the only one who cares about updates?
Trump and Kim just met. really good stuff, so lets all hope this goes well.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Trump had to get China on board to make the sanctions work. Needed to get Putin to stop sneaking stuff to NK. Call Kim names in front of the UN to intimidate him. Go to full military alert to take NK out, placing maximum pressure on Kim. Place the sanctions on Kim to apply maximum economic pressure.
And finally have those Navy Seals place that bag of McDonalds next to Kim's bed as he slept and woke to find.
Unfortunately for trump, the only person getting a Nobel peace price if this goes down is Dennis Rodman.
He played a big part and laid diplomatic groundwork with NK. a basketball player.

United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un on Tuesday addressed a joint press conference after the second round of talks between them, where both leaders talked about better relations between two countries post the summit. While addressing the media, Trump also mentioned a ‘Comprehensive document’ that the two leaders have signed, “we are signing a very important document”. Even Kim talked about the document saying “We had a historic meeting and have signed a very important document”. Not revealing anything about the document, Trump also said that “We have found a solution to a very severe problem”. On questioning Trump if the two leaders would meet again, he said “We’ll meet again & we'll met many times”. He also said that he would like to invite Kim to the White House. While concluding the press briefing, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un said that the “We have decided to let go off the past and now world will see a major change”.
The following is the text of a joint statement signed by President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Singapore Summit on June 12, 2018.
President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a first, historic summit in Singapore on June 12, 2018.
President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new U.S.–DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Convinced that the establishment of new U.S.–DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognizing that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un state the following: 1.The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.–DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity. 2.The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. 3.Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. 4.The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.
Having acknowledged that the U.S.–DPRK summit—the first in history—was an epochal event of great significance in overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening up of a new future, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fully and expeditiously. The United States and the DPRK commit to hold follow-on negotiations, led by the U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and a relevant high-level DPRK official, at the earliest possible date, to implement the outcomes of the U.S.–DPRK summit.
President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have committed to cooperate for the development of new U.S.–DPRK relations and for the promotion of peace, prosperity, and security of the Korean Peninsula and of the world.
President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a document on Tuesday stating that Pyongyang would work toward "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula"— a historic concession, which was one of the requirements the U.S. sought at the summit in Singapore.
The historic agreement came after the two leaders held several meetings throughout the day. Trump was asked by a reporter if Kim agreed to denuclearize and he said, “We are starting that process very quickly.”
Trump did not refer to the document as a treaty or agreement.
Trump said at a press conference that he will be ending joint military exercises between the United States and South Korea.
He also said Kim agreed to destroy a 'major' missile testing site, but did not offer specific details.
The joint declaration states that the U.S. has committed to providing "security guarantees" to Pyongyang.
After their historic meeting, President Trump shows North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un a sneak peek inside the presidential limo.
It's unclear exactly what Trump has promised Kim in terms of security. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to say Monday whether guarantees might include withdrawing U.S. troops from the Korean Peninsula.
Col. Chad G. Carroll, U.S. Forces Korea spokesman, said there has been no updated guidance on execution or “cessation of training exercises.”
“We will continue with our current military posture until we receive updated guidance from the Department of Defense and/or Indo-Pacific Command,” Carroll said.
Trump appeared optimistic at a press conference after Kim had left the island.
Trump told reporters that the remains of U.S. prisoners of war and those missing in action during the Korean War will also be returned.
Trump said he asked Kim to commit to returning the remains "and we got it."
The president said he has received "countless calls" and letters from family members asking him to help them receive the remains of their loved ones.
A reporter asked Trump if he would be willing to invite Kim to the White House and he responded, “Absolutely I would.”
Trump was asked by reporters in Singapore during his final appearance with Kim on Tuesday what surprised him most during their meetings.
Trump said Kim has a "great personality" and is "very smart. Good combination."
Trump raised some eyebrows when he said he learned Kim is "a very talented man" and "loves his country very much."
Kim, who was sitting alongside Trump at an earlier conference, said through a translator, “We had a historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind and we are about to sign a historic document.”
Trump said future talks will include Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton. The joint agreement said North Korea will hold follow-up negotiations, led by Pompeo and "a relevant high-level DPRK official" at the "earliest possible date."
Reporters pressed Trump about human rights issues in the Hermit Kingdom, and the president acknowledged that the situation must improve.
Trump and Kim did not respond to a reporter who asked if they discussed Otto Warmbier.
Warmbier was an American student arrested in North Korean in January 2016 for stealing a propaganda poster and sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor. He was was sent home from North Korea in a coma and died soon after.
Trump later said that the meeting between the two leaders may not have happened if not for the death of Warmbier.
Trump said he thinks "we'll probably need another summit"-- or at least a second meeting. Trump said he is willing to meet with Kim "many times" in the process.
In the run-up to the talks, Trump had hopefully predicted the two men might strike a nuclear deal or forge a formal end to the Korean War in the course of a single meeting or over several days. But in a briefing with reporters Monday, Pompeo sought to keep expectations for the summit in check.
"We are hopeful this summit will help set the conditions for future productive talks," the secretary of state said.

Dennis Rodman for his compassion which played a part in all this.
This is about to look like the movie "Civil War" - On one side - Kanye, Kim, T.I. ,Dennis Rodman, Shaq, Clint Eastwood, Duck Dynasty & Mike Tyson, Kid Rock, Jesse James & the real hulk, Lou Ferrigno.
The Other Side Robert DeNiro, Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney, John Legend, Stephen Colbert, Ben Stiller, Nick Fury (Sam Jackson) and the "other" Hulk - Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Lawrence, Richard Gere, Alyssa Milano and War Machine - Don Cheadle. ...this ought to be good! (Kim K may be the wild card, this week she's on one team...we'll see what happens next week.)
“Commits to work toward complete denuclearization”
This sounds like an empty agreement, but unlike others, I’ll take whatever win we get from this, for now.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
