If Trump really cares about fentanyl, it's only that he isn't getting a cut of the profits.

Trump doesn’t care about fentanyl. That’s just an excuse.

Every time he mentions our Fentanyl *Czar* I laugh at Dump. I love that poke at him! Way to go Trudeau!!!

As I have said many times, Trump has opened a big ass can of of worms, you wont stop Armorican drug addicts, there's legal drug labs in the U.S. and the U.S. make fentanyl in the U.S., his on a economic suicide missions, sense his first rodeo, most drugs dont go over a fence, most drugs caught, go through the Legal Ports of entry and most smuggler cought at the legal port of entry are Americans and people who can cross the border legally, not illegally, not illegal aliens nor asylum

Damn... even fentanyl?

for Canada to even act on the baseless fentanyl accusation of that moron is just feeding to his ego, apart from addressing the american people and that moron AHEAD of the canadian people just appear you are agreeing to his claim of america first! NEXT time address your people first then america second if not third or fourth jeeez

It’s not about fentanyl. It’s not about the two or three people that across their borders. It’s all about his crazy idea that Canada should be the 51st state. And in his warped mind, he thinks by doing this, he’s going to ruin Canada, and that they’re gonna come begging on their hands and knees to be accepted into the United States and I am dead serious. This is what his goal is, and this is what he thinks he’s going to accomplish.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl, it has to do with the bribe putin gave the idi0t, i hope it was more than a BJ.

I don't think Trudeau was harsh at all. He simply stated some facts in a neutral way. Not berating or humiliating anyone. And few people seem to realize that mass fentanyl addiction is a US problem.

As a Canadian I am embarrassed at our Prime Minister doing the WRONG thing to prevent this trade war. 10 years of throwing our economy down the drain so he could make money off his fentanyl mega labs. Rebel news did a full investigation of Trudeau's ties to cartels. He's a lying POS and by far NOT a person with any moral fiber.

Why not tariffs on China….they are the biggest producers of fentanyl….\nPlus they routinely steal intellectual properties from American companies. So it makes no sense to punish our allies rather than our enemies.

To the “pundits “ - Why are you, media, not reporting on the amounts of FENTANYL that IS PRODUCED IN AMERICA? Or why aren’t you reporting that besides bourbon, Tennessee ALSO AND KENTUCKY ARE TH3 LARGEST METH DRUG PRODUCERS? Your COLLAPSING YOUR OWN COUNTRY!

You don't need to defend yourself against the fentanyl situation we know it's bullshit and we know our president has the mentality of a 2 year old (actually I've met smarter toddlers so that's actually offensive to toddlers)

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????

Question: why the USA people having fentanyl ? Because inside you are doing nothing.‼️‼️?

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

Why is it so difficult for the Canadian government to stop cooperating with the CCP and end all transaction and trade of fentanyl? Why does the Canadian people need to pay the price for the greed and stupidity of this irresponsible government? Which politician is benefiting from the fentanyl deal? When Canadian politicians are in bed long enough with the CCP, they will work for this communist regime and not for the Canadian people. Trump is certainly looking out for the American people, who is Trudeau looking out for?

O yea fentanyl coming from Canada the main place where opioids grow.\n\nEdit: O he said it himself.

I would've loved for canada to go full petty and make their border patrols start whistling and turning around whenever they find fentanyl on its way to the US :D

Trump is just Dumb !\nIt has nothing to do with the drug fentanyl.\nTrump can lie to the Trumptards, but not the world.

Great speech. However Fentanyl must not “be wiped from the face of the Earth”. This opioid is needed to control pain in the dying and patients living with severe chronic pain. Stop the illicit market. Do not deprive people who depend on this effective analgesic.

You want to stop the fentanyl flow? Stop its addiction in the United States. I’m from Washington State and am fully behind Canada and love my brothers and sisters to the north.

I was under the impression this was about not just fentanyl, but unfair trade imbalances.

Trump and the cult are nothing trying to stop fentanyl in Huron or any drugs because they are on them and their family

Fentanyl has being coming into the US through Canada and the Mexican border. Young Americans are paying the price by becoming addicted and dying. Why don't you talk about that Mr. Prime minister ???

Will this video be demonetized by Youtube because Trudeau said the fentanyl word?

So people in the administration says that if Canada actually decreases the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border things may change? Last year 19 kg were seized at the Canadian border, if they decrease that to 15, will that be enough? It’s such massive bullshit an nothing about it makes sense. The only way to make sense of Trump’s “diplomacy” is if he’s being paid directly by Russia and China.

This is about more than the fentanyl. This is about Canada not pulling their own weight when it comes to defensive spending, this is about getting them to allow Us manufacturered cars into their markets, this is about convincing Canadian companies to build factories in the US… etc Trumps tariffs are creating hundreds of billions, soon to be trillions of dollars worth of investments into our market. We hold the largest market in the world. We hold the power here, not Canada. And bitching about relations with our allies isn’t going to sway conservative voters come the next election. When we win this “trade war” something tells me CNN will whine about how we won it instead of giving credit to the current administration for doing better by our citizens.

Justin Trudeau's drug policies in Canada have been a disaster and now he pretends he is concerned about Fentanyl [a member of the class of drugs known as fentanyls, rapid-acting opioid (synthetic opiate) drugs that alleviate pain without causing loss of consciousness (analgesic). Fentanyl depresses central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory function. Exposure to fentanyl may be fatal.] going into the United States. He is a lame-duck Prime Minister on his way out of political life let alone public office as Prime Minister of Canada. His poll numbers were miserable and he was not supported within many in his own cabinet because of his divsisive decisions with Alberta, female MPs and hypocritical and harmful actions and words as well as broken promises to the Canadian Tax payers.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Bully Trump wants to annex Canada. I stand with Canada and Mexico.

It's great that the fentanyl problem is being attacked at the border. What about Canada inside the borders? Why did it take Trump to impose tariffs for Canada to respond to the drug problem? And what about dealing with China? Most of the chemical compounds have been brought in from there...thousands of kids have died and Canada has not addressed China's conspiracy with this. Congrats to Trump for his tough line on this!!

Of course Mexico isnt doing enough abou Fentanyl, Mexico is one of the most corrupt goverments, actually Narco Goverment .

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

The fentanyl bullshit is just a disguise for the building of an authoritarian regime.

It’s clear that fentanyl is not in question, something else going on!

The amount of fentanyl coming into Canada from the US is 1000 times the amount coming into the US from Canada. When will Americans wake up to this insanity?

It's not about immigration or fentanyl. This is about following direction from putin. He has divided the people within our country and now separated us from our allies. He has removed trusted anerican press from the white house briefings replacing them with the government run russian media. We are the united states of russia. Get your vodka here

Trump is concerned about the supply of fentanyl from Canada and Mexico but has done nothing about its inexhaustible demand by Americans. No policy to discourage Americans from consuming it.

Fentanyl coming from Canada was less than 1%. This was just an excuse for Trump. Trump wants to start WW 111 and start with Canada. Trump is old, he lived his life, he's not thinking about the young generations that ha e just started living. \n\nI believe that Trump is in with Putttin to give him classified information, knowing that he will not get away with his criminal charges so he can deflect to Russia where these is no Expedition treaty. TRUMP IS A TRADER!!!!\n\n\n Canadians are very nice people, until it's time not to be nice and that time is now.

A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

This has nothing to do with Fentanyl. Anyone who believes that is a fool. IMO

As I understand that Canada doing as much as they do to protect flowing fentanyl to Us ! My question is what Us doing to protect their border to stop fentanyl coming to their country?

We understand. We live just south of Lake Superior. We don't want this either but it's important that no country should bow to the United States. Let us be clear- Our president lack moral character and integrity and is no more trustworthy than Putin. Trump isn't concerned about Fentanyl, because if he was, he wouldn't be gutting the agencies that track it.

Stop the fentanyl you commie dictator

Of course it's not about Fentanyl. It's about eliminating the income tax. The GOP wants to reinstate the economic policies that existed before the Civil War. The first federal income tax existed from 1861 to 1872. 41 years after it was repealed, the IRS was created and the current federal income tax went into effect. Prior to the collection of federal income taxes, the US government paid its bills with revenue from import tarriffs.

fentanyl is a legal drug made by our drug companies. its abused and used illegally. maybe stop listening to a man that cant not lie.

CNN, it's really not that difficult to prounounce fentanyl correctly. It's not fentan-ole.

Even if it were relating to fentanyl. If the United States weren’t so slack about its own drug enforcement, there would be less coming into the us because it just wouldn’t be worth it.

Millions of tons of fentanyl are smuggled in through Canada every year

That weirdo and Canada has backed a drug cartel industry by allowing Fentanyl precursors come through its ports from China will little to no inspection. So f**K off Trudeau!
