Hahaha Go President Trump! Leftist can cry all day too. ?

As an American I can't believe that I'm supposed to accept what Trump is doing!

Dude if what Trump is so bad for America and it isn’t going to hurt Canada why do you care. You are the the Dictator you liberal. Good America will just cut all Canadas aide

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada were imposed as a reciprocal measure, matching the percentage that Canada had levied on U.S. goods. Given Canada’s economic and military reliance on the U.S., this retaliation is likely to impact Canada more significantly.

The Smoot-Haley Tariff Act made the big depression 1930 much worse and convinced Japan and Europe to fight for resources that they needed to prosper, because nobody was trading. Why break the deal that Trump signed, with a Friendly nation, a neighbor? Because they supported Ukraine in their fight for freedom? I miss the America that stranded for universal values.

Trump is a bully! Trump stinks!

A dollar for dollar.\nA Trump for trump. ?\nGo Canada ??. Go!\nMark Carney for PM.

Trump is an idiot. Said by an American.

CNN ,you didn't mention the real real that Trudeau believes the Trump administration has put terrifs is that they want to cripple the Canadian economy to be able to annex Canada as a 51st state!!!

Trump is compromised. Period. He's doing Putin's bidding, 100%. This is an incredible moment in history. America has been infiltrated by it's arch enemy in the biggest way. God help us.

It's only a matter of time and America, the USA, will become North Mexico and Trump made it all possible

He's right about everything, except when he said Trump is a smart guy. Not only is he not smart, Trump is in fact the dumbest president in American history.

We (most of the American people) don't want this, either! I call and write to my two Senators and my Congresswoman at least four times a week. I support Canada's reaction to our ridiculous President's actions. I don't think all the Republican leadership supports this, but they are weak and scared of Trump.

You have nothing to offer Canada and Trump will EAR YOU AND EUROPE ALIVE, just shut up.

Wished he wasn't leaving office. Doesn't make sense that he is leaving now. Trump and GOP needs to leave office.

Trump scare to bully Putin. He only bully all US Allie’s

Americans wake up ! Canada is your biggest ally - this is disgusting. And what Trump is doing is in a way what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Why would Canadians want to be the 51st state? They are their own country and they are proud.

Trump doesn’t even grasp the fact that tariffs are paid by the companies importing goods into the US and passed on to consumers - he seems to think that the tariffs are paid by the exporting country. Some businessman!

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Ahahahhah karma is digital what can you say about this Mr trump?

Thanks for isolating our country to the rest of the world Trump. God didn’t work this fast.

NOTHING BUT LIES AND CRYING JUST LIKE ANY LIBERAL,.............GO TRUMP, LET IT ROLL...just wait for the elections and all will get fixed.

Trump is expected to pull out of everything Paris accord, UN, USMCA, OAS, NATO, WHO, IMF, G7, G20, TPP tonight in the state of the union or soon after!!

What a mistake to acuse Trudeau of anti-americanism. He spoke very empatic to and about the american people. He only showed the need to fight back against the Trump madness aimed against the canadians. For what reason? America first is turning into America alone.

Murdering, thieving Putin is proud of Trump

The dictator TRUMP IS TRYING TO BRAKE CANDA…to try to take over in the future??? Trump is a know-it-all men! Pride precedes a fall?

Trump wants what's good for trump. Not what's good for the country.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

Trump bff is Putin...in short Canada was replaced by Russia?

Americans dont want this either....we do not understand why NO one in office will help us. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR

Just one correction: trump is not a smart guy.

I’m Canadian, and we hate him. Trump is going to make him his b1 tch

Trump is just a face Elon is the mastermind behind all this.\nCanada is great and will be a great country regardless of the obstacles.

It's mind boggling how someone can hear Trudeau speak, and then hear Trump speak, and then claim that Trump is the better man who has the best interest of the people in mind.

Russia bailed out trump when he was on the verge of bankruptcy. I guess it's payback time. American voters are so naive.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

Canada + Europe = true ❤ Let's get the trade agreements going and leave the nutcase Trump in the dust!

Who cares trump 100%

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

This guy has more sense than the Trump administration, and everyone who voted for him put together...

From Florida and Boston!! Go Trump ! They big mad ????

Trump no Canadian B.S. Americans want results. Call us when you have some!

Trump is a Russian asset. The moment that is understood, all of Trump's past actions make perfect sense - since the beginning.

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

Trump is Russian spy ?️‍♂️

Trump ruined good relationshipr with allies.

Life goes on Americans people winning Americans first other countries last hahaha thanks president Trump ??

TRUMP and the GOP = dangerous evil
