The drug and immigration issue is smoke and mirrors. Don’t buy into it. You have a narcissist who looks for issues to motivate his moronic followers. Who , by the way are for the most part well off and affluent.\nJust not well educated and not well versed on the problems of the World. \nMuch as I dislike my present Prime Minister…he is still my Prime Minister and not your Governor.\nHe is fallible because he is a caring human and a sympathetic leader who has tried to make it right for so many.\nCanada is a country of hope not a country of opportunity at the expense of others.\nOur leaders answer to us the people not to rich autocrats.

I fail to understand what more was expected of canada... Such reneging on deals will make others reluctant to make deals in the future.

This idiot has not got the memo. Nor others likely. But he's gone.

I'm here in The Corporate States of America and this government is disastrous. It's an embarrassing thing that the government has done. I, and many others, stand with Canada. Wishing Canada all the best.

As a Pole I watch the news about Trump terrified. This is madness and the treason of western values and friends. It's comforting to see others standing against THIS

Dear America, we are breaking up with you. It's not you It's....wait....wait a minute...yeah, it is you. It's all about you and we can't take it anymore. Your whining, crying, bullying when you don't get your own way. Your selfishness and failure to see what impact your actions are having on us as well as others. So, I'm sorry, not sorry, but we are done. Don't call us. We'll call you....Maybe....

Trudeau, the man who froze worker's bank accounts for having a different opinion to him, is talking about how others behave?\n\nAnd of course the fans of CNN are all completely brainwashed. This comment section is the epitome of insanity.

I’m glad he spoke to the American people people again, it’s important they have the truth said from others besides the American Democratic Party; the Trump base are constantly constantly being lied to and gas lit by that administration and Republican Elected Officials :

I’m half Canadian that hits this subject feel like maybe ? Pluto can allow whoever too express how stupidly beautiful stories can help judge ?‍⚖️ peaceful conversation with others gets good karma just saying

The orange joker has to go! Those MAGA people are self-destructive and toxic to others.

Canada I love you and I am sorry for the others stupidity ?

It is evident that comments like the one from @robertedward7023 demonstrate many, many people do not know what took place at the meeting before this meeting which should have made this meeting a simple signing of the agreement. VP Vance corrected Zelensky for his attempt to propagate his agenda and now that Germany, France and others--as NATO countries--have jumped in, there could be consequences resulting in war if they continue to push for it. As far as Trudeau, he is on his way out according to his own resignation and he has just done Canada wrong with the faulty reasoning. I thank all military veterans for their service, but I do not approve of what they say blindly.

Blistering speech? ? that man i s SOFT. And CNN tries changeling the point of views from others with inaccurate title.

Canada sell your products to others countries. Stop complaining and do something about it.

Boycott McDonald’s, Starbucks, Costco, Walmart and many others

Idiots, Trump braging about saying things as they are, and directory. And he is himself the most arrogant shit talking about everbody, so he get what he gives himself. Direct and clear , like he treat others. And by the way he is no god, he is in fact laugin his pwn religion in the face, and breaking all it stand for. A true narcissistis. ?

Some have a president who is Putin's lapdog and others have a statesman who acts with absolute integrity and cleverness.

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country

I have always felt emence pride to be an American. We truly were a land of opportunity and freedom for all. Respected by others because we respected others. How did we go from protecting those in need to exploiting the weak?

Ahhhh poor DEMS, maybe you all should move to Canada, with the others

He makes it seems we were good till Trump came into office again. I got news for you,we were great before biden came along and all he had to do was keep the momentum going. Instead he killed pipelines, pushed leftist agenda and created the inflation we have now. No more will America be a door mat to allow people like you Trudeau to wipe your feet on and take advantage of the US like so many others! Don't worry, we will survive, we always do!

Canada, fighting from the North.\nMexico, from the South.\nAnti-magas from within.\nKeep trump and his traitors in office and see if it doesn't happen.\nForgot to mention Europe joining in the fray.\nToo bad that kid missed, but there very likely will be others soon, marksman this time, no doubt.\ntrump and his pals will be cringing in the White House bunker soon, where he hid the last time.

Foolish people make their own lives difficult, while stupid people make others' lives difficult in addition to their own difficult lives. Long live the Canadians and the Americans.

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

I’m from the uk, It’s sad to see our brothers across the pond make these decisions against each others interests at a time when the west should strengthen its alliances, I have massive respect for Justin Trudeau in laying out the facts and not shying away from speaking frankly to Americans and Donald directly

Funny telling - because harshly words always using Trump and what you USA expect , because ‘this message was very much polite and professional sent to Americans. Trump not knowing to speak with diplomacy and respect for others !

I stand with canada and Mexico. My question is why trump chose such a idiotic path? Its like he wants to cause chaos. It's like he wants to destroy our stability. He seems to be more like Putins tool everyday. This is action and others are not acceptable. Id like to introduce a bill to allow a special election by the people to remove any president or elected official whoes actions are detrimental. I think a 2/3 majority is fair. I welcome and comments to my post. Im just a concerned citizen trying to keep some control over our country when our checks and balances have become inadequate.

America first, simple. It baffles me that Americans want others to take advantage of us

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

So funny how these clwns in the comments have no idea what they are talking about.\nTrudeau is also corrupt to the core, he attended Fidel Castros funeral, cause hes his son.\nIronic that a communist sympathizer, goes to a brutal dictators funeral and goes out in public and calls others dictators?\nhaha\nAh wait this is CNN, which only the dumbest people watch.

Only the American government is misbehaving towards the whole World. The moment other nations could survive without the US, then the Super-power status is dead for ever. The blessings in this is, other nations will learn to build inwardly to earn their respect in the future. Their economies will be better for it. Their citizen will drastically reduce migrations. And the US could take care of only his citizen and stop insulting others for their failures.

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Prime Minister Trudeau, as an American, I understand and support what you're doing because we are being held hostage by walking talking malfeasance in the white house. I did not vote for that man and under eternal lifetimes would never vote for that man nor the people that support him. \n\nI don't want to suffer and I don't want others to suffer but there is no recourse with the current occupant of the White House.

Makes sense cause we don’t want to go to war, tuff talk from our northern neighbors we protect, also Ukraine can get funding from others, I’d prefer my taxes go to finding snails and helping them cross the road

What's that sound? Canadians walking away from the table. You don't want our aluminum? No problem, we have others lining up. As your factories grind to a halt, we'll just ship our excess to the EU, China and others. We have the goods. Will it be a pain? Sure, but we should be done with the den of thieves and charlatans occupying the white house.

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

?? ?? Zelenskyy is the only person to speak up against Trump and Vance. Others need to speak to them they the same way.They are the criminals and don't know how to tell the truth,so they yell and try distraction ploys.? Millions of people will start yelling like them.?..at congress members.

Translation. I did exactly what you said before even if it made others miserable. Now you treat me like you asked me to do to others? You think I am the same as the others? Don’t you see that I am superior to them? My heart is bleeding.

Prime Minister Trudeau...I and others like me did not want this. We do not approve of the current occupier of The Oval Office. We are ashamed and embarrassed.

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

As an American I stand with Trump and America all others may leave because Republicans going to be in office for a long time and you can thank yourselves for that

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

Trump and Elon just lay in bed with Putin while polishing off each others knobs while making posts on truth social.

From a German once living a year in Canada: If you make a Canadian that angry you really messed it up. I couldn't imagine of any better ally to have. You deserve to be treated so much better and such behavior comes from a person shouting for more respect at others. All my love to your beautiful country.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

Trump is purposely going to crash the US economy and enrich himself and others like him from it.

Yeah, except that major companies such as Honda and others have decided to open factories in the United States, which brings jobs and money back to the economy.

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States now. It’s disgusting how we have allowed a completely unqualified and morally corrupt individual to become our President once again. What has happened to our country? We used to care about each other and our individual rights. We were willing to fight for the weak and help others around the world. We soon will be isolated as our allies turn their backs on us. Is that when Trump will join hands with Russia and China to create a communist block of power?
