These comments are from people who BELIEVE CNN.., and it’s HILARIOUS to see the STUPIDITY of people who follow CNN

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

Why would the American people listen to him after what he did to the Canadian truckers?0

Trumps negotiation tactics have proven as almost 100% success rate such far. The far left liberal Canada is not aligned with the American people anymore

People will suffer ! ?

Not a fan o Trudeu, but the cognitive and ethical difference is immense. Brazil is with the Canadian people ??

The world needs to speak up more! The American people don't want it either. We're helpless in the US to do anything with this stupidity. It's all Trump & project 2025.

Well, he spoke directly to the American People, but your title was close enough, CNN.

Amazing how many people from different countries start getting mad when we come knocking for fair traid. We're-200 billion trade deficient with Canada and now they're up in arms. We've givin Ukrain 350 billion and Europe has the audacity to call us wavering support? You've given them 100 billion in loans. Hate the US all you want but we backed up our words. Yall didnt.

Love tO Canada.Love to the U.S. people who realize what their lying corrupt traitor president is doing and trying their best to stop him.

People in America, the free Americans, are weeping as we hear the brave words of other leaders and they yern for that leadership to save them from tyranny at home.

Make sure you thank people you know who voted for Trump for this.

This is how one president speaks, who also warns his people, the other only talks about how wonderful everything is and how great he is.

Maybe Trudeau can just freeze the bank accounts of people that don't agree with him\nA true fascist

The American people that have any brains whatsoever don't want this. It's all Donnie and his ass kissers doing what they want for him and his billionaire friends.

We the American People STAND PROUDLY WITH \nCANADA ! F Trump ! \n????☮️

Trump, we Canadians despise what you are doing to us and Mexico, and to your very own people. And for what purpose? You will not aquire control of the entire American continent. Not if we can help it!!

The dollar is and has been a plague upon our people, children and all life on the planet. I also believe that Canada is my neighbor and didn't know this was coming.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

Trumps spiral into Putins pockets should be of grave concern for the American people and the world …. Power corrupts especially when an insane man is wielding it

As a Canadian, most people here HATE Justina the incompetent corrupt drama queen. He/she is practicing his/her acting skills yet again.

What is wrong with Trump. We used to be friends, but now US have new people in leading positions and all went to s*it. As European citisen i would like to see we are all friends like we used to be for 80 years. Or am i weird?

You people who are obviously pro anything but America make me sick. The Chinese are laughing at you......

The tariffs on Canada and Mexico are not about what they are doing now. The tariffs are about what OUR FRIENDS????? allowed to happen for the last 4 years. They silently witness how illegals invaded our country and how they allowed the Mexican cartels to take over the borders. Many of our young people died to drugs and illegal criminals. Many of our law enforcement died and were kicked by illegals. OUR FRIENDS?????? watched without action and NOW!!!!! they want to play the victim card. Typical from countries that always blame USA for their failures. Cuba and Venezuela are great examples of what happened to countries that separate from the USA.

CNN the great dividers of the American people

Boycott Boycott PEOPLE ⚖️ ?? ? ? \nGood!

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

Premier Trudeau, please realize that Trump does not speak for the vast majority of the people of the USA!!! We love Canada and we love the people of Canada and we love to visit your beautiful Country!!! So please remember that Trump was elected based on lies and a minority of our citizens!!!

Trudeau of all people has something to say ?. If this was Pierre I’d bother listening, but it’s not, so I’m only staying here long enough to type this out lmao

We are screwed her in the US, Trump and his people will turn this country into Russia.

What American media will allow a foreign president to address the American people. This is crazy stuff. Would they allow Valdemar Putin, Kim Jong Un, or The Chinese Communist Party to Address the American people? The wouldn't even allow the British Prime Minister to talk directly to the American people. This shows that CNN is willing to do anything to discredit Trump's policies.

Now why don’t he tell his own people how it hurts canada

Not anti-American.That is an ignorant thing to say. He explicitly shown his empathy with the American people.

Canada, I'm proud of you. Let us people all over the free and democratic world unite against the fascist enemies even in our own countries. It's our own future which is in danger.

I admire Justin Treadeau and the Canadian people. Our President is a dangerous man and a threat to the USA and the world.

President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

Holland will for sure support Canada!! I think there is a great opportunity for Canada to focus more on mutual trade with the EU. You will find smart people around the table in Brussels and in our nations. Stay strong Canadians!!

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

When are people going to wake up and realize that Trump is a Russian asset he is doing what he is told to do. He is not for America. He is an enemy of America. Everything that he is doing is to benefit. Russia wake up people he is a treasonous lying fraud, and he needs to be in jail. He needs to be removed immediately

Wise American people who elected Trump, you are a disgrace and a laughing stock of the entire democratic world.\nGreetings from Ukraine.

Trump is a traitor. When will people observe the obvious - Trump is doing everything Putin wants to happen. How else can you explain a fractured relationship with our neighbors - Canada and Mexico? For bogus reasons.

I believe that very soon that the American people rise up and won't stand for Trump craziness.

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.

This the time for the Canadian government lower insane, Canadian people taxes

Its funny how people judge how you are because you on who you bote for lol

We just had an election in Ontario and basically nothing changed. Ontario has been one of the worst performing provinces in Canada for the majority of Doug Ford's mandate over Ontario but people seemingly don't care enough to want change. One of the major problems with Canada in terms of politics is that the aging population has some of the largest block of voters and can pretty much overrule anything that would benefit the younger generation if it would hurt their investments.

I'll never understand why Canada has the worst affordable housing areas. You have all the lumber you could possibly want. And you even have more land and less people. Make it make sense

As a Canadian, I am more afraid of the people than their healthcare system. And I am chronically ill and would be homeless in America. You seem pretty cool, but living in a place where children have to train for school shootings. I heard they cant even wear light up shoes for their own saftey. Just their hate of immigrants and people in general. Its not the first time that I have heard an American say they want to shoot down all the aliens. Also, wtf! We know you live in America. You dont need to have a flag every 2 meters. ????? even on your clothes. We get it! You're American! I feel like you guys get super offended by everything.

I live in co-op housing where rent is 33% of the market. We used have people coming and goign but nowadays our only vacancies are when people pass away...
