I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

These CNN reporters are just repeating words already said and adding nothing to the conversation, it is comical to listen to.

Current republican here. And although i dont usually see eye to eye with CNN's points of view. I'm here seeing what the 'other side' thinks on this topic. And I don't disagree with everything they said. Don't be too closed off to hear good ideas from someone you may not suspect to have them. Just listen and be willing to hear.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

Trudeau did not say Donald Trump you're a very smart guy he said the Washington Post said he's a very smart guy so CNN you got that way way off from what he said in his statement to Donald Trump so you should change that!

I thouh that this was about Trudeaus speech when I hear 50 plus percent more the voices of the cnn staff . Do americNS NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? AS ALL THAT IS BEING SAID IS A TRANSLATION TO AMERICAN ENGLISH. I

What is the purpose of showing PM Trudeau in his press conference if we can't hear him? These CNN commentators are paraphrasing endlessly what he said, while cutting off his voice. Are we so dumb that we have to be served a rehash while being deprived of the real thing? \n Maybe CNN is trying to explain things to MAGA voters; why the effort? They would'nt watch CNN anyway!

I'm with Canada. I am not pleased how CNN presented this speech however. They should have let the French speech play out with interpretation as Trudeau is not repeating what he already said in English and he provided more information. Also CNN keeps interrupting the question/answer portion of the speech. I want this news from the horse's mouth, not the news person's interpretation or regurgitation of what was said. I went to another source to see the complete speech instead of staying on this channel. I recommend that other viewers do the same if you want complete information.

If u believe a single word Trudy and cnn has said I. This “ShitShow”. I’ve got some beach front property to sell u in Antarctica. Bring your water wings and swim cap!

And forsure he is on CNN i won't believe anything he said he has ruined Canada he will be gone

Wait... you just switched away from his remarks when the Prime Minister switched to French? Is it because you don't understand, or don't have translators? Where are your translators CNN? Maybe you should borrow some from the CBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, because if you only listen to half his message, you're only getting half of what he said.

What trump is doing is sheer hurtful lunacy. He’s just bullying. Why? Some republican sanewasher said on CNN Taiwan was building a chip factory in America because of tariffs. That’s bs. It will take YEARS for industries to move to America because of tariffs. And there’s just no need. Wonder if trumps new hairdo is hiding horns because he is doing evil, hurtful stuff and helping nobody but the rich. LOVE YA CANADA!!

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

I think since he's going to be a jobless very soon the CNN can't take him in they match perfectly?.\nPresident Trump doing what he said he's going to do. ???????

Here's an idea, CNN: when Trudeau switches to French, you get a French translator! I wanted to hear what he said in French too! And you have to know by now that whenever the Canadian prime minister speaks, there will be a mix of French and English. Always. Be prepared!

CNN and Justine a perfect match ???? and I’m Canadian- this guy is a thief and a crook and a SELLOUT freedom of speech killer and a so called feminist ???? as said perfect match

CNN should have said all this *before* the election. He is doing what he promised to do. There is no surprise here.

Come on CNN, get a grip. I want to hear what Trudeau has to say. Or, at least some insightful reporting and analysis rather than just repeating what he just said

Cnn is so hard to watch, she said aniamericanism ???? . They're braking up with america ????

CNN - I wanted to hear what he said about aid to Ukraine.

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

TO CNN: I’d rather hear everything PM Trudeau said. Talk about it after we get to hear it all ourselves.

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

CNN is so trash news. Did they even listen to what this so called leader even said?

CNN, I recommend you offer the option for us to listen to the translation instead of switching to “interpretations” of what was just said.

I'm so tired of these CNN people who show the speech but then tell us what they just said. Why don't you let us hear the q&a part of Trudeau's presser?

CNN said Trump ruined America, so why do they want to come?

1. The high price of eggs is bec. of Joe Biden! \n2. One economist I saw on CNN said 25% tariffs would only add POINT-6% (0.6) to inflation. The example he gave - if inflation is 2% - it would only go up to 2.6%. That's not going to break anybody's budget. *Biden gave us 22% inflation over four years!*

CNN blowing this all out of the water as usual! I agree some should not serve but there are some that are okay to serve like this lady and yes I said lady not gentleman!???

She said, “cockpit” with gusto, wonder how much gov funding went into her trans surgery & hormone theraphy why CNN didn’t mention that.

Another lie by cnn .beacuse trump didn't ban trangender, he said that if you good enough for job he don't care if you identified as horse

tell the full story cnn read what the columbian president said he said he will pick them up

CNN VIEWERS ???, 15 AFTER Trump LATTER, THE PRES OF COLOMBIA SAID, YES IM SO SORRY SENOR TRUMP!, PLEASE TAKE MY PLANE TO BRING THEM BACK SENOR PRESIDENTE

Why isn’t CNN reporting the almost immediate resolution to this? In less than an hour after Trump’s message the Colombian President apologized and said he’d even send a plane to take his illegals back.

CNN forgot to mention the socialist president bowed down and said he would send his own planes to pick up the criminals.

CNN needs to understand the three most important things people voted for Trump has been doing everything he said.\nImmigration, DEI , girls sports.\nNo matter what happens from now until the end he has already accomplished what is important.

Well, this is good. Why the hell aren’t these countries taking back their own people because they know that those individuals are no good that’s why they sent them to us in the first place so this is a good thing. That being said he needs to ease back on with these other two countries I mean really we trade with them a lot talk about getting expensive mercy. 3:41 why does CNN have all these specialist and analyst on? They are always totally wrong and bias and one sided I mean come on they put the story out knowing that Columbia was gonna fold immediately so all this talk is for nothing just making people fearful of outcomes that have already been decided so they need to get off gas and shut the hell up I don’t know why you click on CNN they have not been telling the truth for years

All this illegal immigrant mess has to stop. My question is.. why we do not take care of our homeless people, our veterans, the drug issue, mental health in our country and we let the other countries resolve their issues. We cannot use our tax dollars to fix other peoples problems we have our own. CNN, MNSN are so ridiculous and indecent with Americans.!! Why i dont see images of all the homeless people sleeping in the subway.. i guess there are no shelters, debit cars and meals for them!! Ahh and before you said anything im a Venezuelan legal migrant now proud american!!

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do on the campaign trail. The majority of Americans are thrilled. This is what the majority voted for. One would think a non biased media ownership would have gotten the message? I guess once you have dug your own grave deep enough there is no climbing out for CNN. What a shame!

We final got a president with a backbone and he is *NOT* playing = *within an hour* the Columbian President said he would send *HIS* plane to come and pick *his people* up. \n- CNN, left that part out.

Now tell the people, twenty minutes later the Columbian president said he'd accept the repatriation flights, and he even offered his presidential plane to facilitate the move. Nah, you won't hear that on fake news CNN.

The mexican rpesident conceded in the letter that immigration an issue and she implemented a plan to help slow it down. Cnn is such fake news. Lol\nShe also later said there wont be a tariff war. But we need to lie to make lunatic lefties feel like they were right, even though all the facts they wont read prove them wrong. Lol pathetic.

What CNN is saying is not accurate. Trump said he had a productive conversation with Mexico President. Even if that conversation was never held, Mexico government has not done much to prevent people coming through the border.

Tried not to laugh when she said Mexico tried to slow the migrants from coming into the united states. I'm pretty sure I remember on CNN Mexico telling the migrants keep going your not welcomed here .

CNN is all lies.\nMexico has done nothing to control migration.\nNOW it will.\nI am 100% sure of that.\nMexico will go down!!!\nRemember the song Yo soy el rey,\nMexican macho goes down, down.\nThe economy of Mexico will go down, down.\nWhat Trump said will be DONE.

Why wasn't all of this said prior to the elections CNN you guys are the news outlet of the world supposedly why can't you guys report about all of this factually before elections instead of having Donald Trump and his cronies makeup lies about the amount of people coming across the borders everyday

Typical CNN cherry picking what’s either being said are what was actually said! Anyone that heard this news cast and is willing to go and listen to the whole news clip are read the letter will find out just how CNN plays their viewers for fools!

I wanted to hear what she said. CNN needs to stop pandering to the wrong-wing nuts and assuming nobody has any type of global education
