You shouldn’t have started clowning Trump saying you and Mexico avoided tariffs by doing only what you had already committed to do. I’m sure that got under his skin. ??‍♀️

Are you sure there's no more nazis?You'd like to give a standing ovation to?

WSJ is consistently rated as centrist and with low bias, so I'm not sure what he was getting at with that shot.

That's the Canadian PM. Retaliation is permitted for sure. No justification whatsoever. So retaliation is permitted. Thank you. May evil and wickedness not come near our homes

I sure this doesn t represent 100% of 'American Thinking' in the end the U S will suffer the most and all for the gain of DJT and friends...crazy.

18:00 I am sure we’ll know soon enough what he wants. There must be some resource deal, or military deal they are after.

A drop in fentanyl 97% from December to January that’s telling I’m sure that January would’ve been the same fentanyl crossing if Trump wasn’t president

Vote out this stupid government of ours and I’m sure this will stop!

? I mean y you angry bro. Didn’t Trump say he was going to do this. I’m sure the tariffs with go away once you go away Trudeau

Unfortunately Trudeau has decided to step down. Had he shown our people this side of him years ago I’m sure he’d be seen in a different light and would never have made the decision to step down as PM. Great work PM Trudeau ??

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

Trump is so stupid that I'm sure he forgot or doesn't even know that Putin can play chess better than any American president. Trump is turning himself into Putin's puppet. The Kremlin must be laughing out loud right now.

I'm not sure what's more embarrassing the fact that this guy is a world economic forum puppet or the fact that most you reading this won't even know what that means....NPCs

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

I dont know why that kid rise the tarrifs but the response was ready from day one for sure.

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

You speak boldly only because you're ending your term, leaving the mess for others to deal with. Not sure why other comments said you're intelligent!

Wow. Although, Kier Starmer has done ok....I would surely like this guy to be a UK prime minister. In fact. Why not. He's a free agent soon, so see you soon. ?

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Talking about a REAL (world) Leader! My personal message to Mr. Trudeau... 'Why you leave at this critical stage?' We need leaders like you to stand up to this type of Clowns who jerk themselves off for power and dollar-bills. And to the biggest Clown of this (still) free world, I would like to say: Mister Clown... as you say, America First.. Do yourself a favour and built a huge wall around your last and dying power soil.. and make sure this time you pay for it yourself, so you have your isolated soil called USA all for yourself and your regretting voters with your trade traffic. Make America great AND ISOLATED again... and make the US dollar a welcomed item at the toilet around the world!

I think Trudeau is the only one Canadian guilty of this problem. A French official disguised as a religious man was involved in drug trafficking with the Miami baggage handlers. He even commissioned the baggage handler to commit domestic terrorism for the benefit of France. Air Force pilots died as kamikazes to destroy the drugs while CLEANTOWN prevented the FBI from raiding Arkansas as usual under the pretext of religion. The worst thing is that this pretext did not prevent women and children from being burned in the Davidians as the ASOVs do in Ukraine. Submitting to the French government when they are going to have an import tax is allowing French products to pass through Canada to avoid paying tax. To be sure that this does not happen, they do not need a vassal of France who follows the liars, and this is not a hypothesis, it is a fact that a Canadian, either disguised customs, or director of 2 wheels, can confirm not the arrest of the baggage handler who traced the trail but the domestic HATRED of these so-called gentry French, the friend of the haters of the KKK of France is not a quality of security and alliance against hatred and sure that the taxe will be apply to the hatred.

Dear Canadians, Americans love you! Our heart is breaking. Why can’t we have a president with manners and dignity?\n\nAs a Daughter of the American Revolution and a veteran I want to apologize for my country. \n\nI’m not sure how everyone can be so fooled by this man who I knew was a lecherous thug the first time I saw him back in the 90s. When he was dying to sit at Elaine’s table, but she wouldn’t have him. Everyone knows he’s scum.

This was not an anti American speech! Not sure who the lady from Ottawa.

Stock market crashing under the Dotard, as the NK leader called Donnie boy. You are a loser President! Wall Street has spoken in the first one and a half months of this farce of an administration. Are you trying to match Republican Herbert Hoover’s crash of the stock market of 1929?? Republicans crash economies, yes they sure do. GW Bush crashed it big time in his last few months of his presidency. How bad will the Trump crash be ??? ? hmmm ? Trump attacks allies and cozies up to dictators like Putin.

It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

I’m sure trumps shaking in his boots

congratulations Trump on trying to force manufacturing companies to come back to the US while at the same time making sure they have no one to sell to!!! Republicans are ridiculously stupid!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Great speech and right move, but I'm sure hospitals, and more specifically anesthesiologists, would strongly disagree with wanting to wipe fentanyl from the face of the earth ?

Make sure that we don’t lower our prices and standards because of Trumps negotiation tactic, we are proud to be Canadian ?? ❤

I'd move to Canada but I'm pretty sure Americans aren't welcome there any more. Who can blame them?

We have no military because of this clown. Can't even meet a 2% defense budget but we sure can fund other countries. This party has never met any targets they promised. It just goes on and on. The Liberals caused all this shit and it took Trump to kick Trudeau in the ass to get anything done. Terrorists, super drug labs, burning our flag, violent protests. Trudeau caused ALL of this.

Look at all the comments of everyone on here that have no idea about politics or finances. I am pretty sure he put in his resignation because he failed canada and its people. But hey we have Americans on here complaining and of course caring about another country rather than their own.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

I'm a Native American fm Arizona. Been ur neighbor for years!! Inspite of what Trump is doing nothing will change that!! This man call Trump is definitely not a smart man!! Otherwise, it would have been business as usual. He is rushing his agenda only to cause conflicts, gain attention and he doesn't have a whole lot of time (3 yrs 8 months)!! I'm sure the next president after he's gone will fix all the damages his caused and done!!???

not sure how Canada imposing tariffs well over 200% (for decades) is being a good friend? I don't think Canadians know how much we carry you, not by buying your product, but by being severely ripped off by your government for your product. Lose the tariffs on us and we will reciprocate I'm sure.

In a best case scenario, DJT will rescind the tariffs on Canadian goods. In the worst case, we get even poorer. If this happened after Trump became president the first time, the economy was strong from 4 years of Obama's presidency. Then COVID happened, and for alot of folks here, they haven't recovered financially. Savings and retirement plans are gone. Rent is higher, for many it takes over 50% of their income. So in this emergency time, there's nothing to fall back on. Oh and DOGE will cut SNAP benefits, I'm sure. That's food stamps, meant for the people struggling. It's becoming more and more of Americans. \nAm I depressed? No, I lived through Reagan's presidency. I'm cautious about life, my job, commuting to work, putting food on the table. I'm gonna try growing veggies. I already eat 75% of my meals at home or taken from home-cooked meals. I'm saving as best I can.

Surely everyone has noticed just how intelligent Mr. Trudea really is when he speaks. Quite a contrast when Mr. Trump is speaking about anything. Never once did this gentleman make this conversation about himself or issue any threats towards or against America. In a matter of days America has succeeded in isolating itself from its allies and the rest of the world and all the while China has remained Incredibly Silent.

That is for sure a great speech, that many European leaders will eventually need to repeat and copy!

Don’t be fooled, Trudeau has made the opposition in Canada much more popular with his “good talk/ opposite results. The Dems lost for this exact reason in the US America will be strong either way. Canadians are much stronger without Trudeau no matter what they decide to do. I am sure many would agree no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on.

Our Government doesn’t give a ? about us. It’s almost too expensive to live. Struggling has become our new norm. As long as their pockets are full, that’s all that matters. Sure wish you were our President …. Why can’t America be like Canada?…

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

I'm sure the only thing that Trump heard was Trump is smart. (I'm sure most of the world heard that as a punchline)

“We’ve done ‘big things.’” Wow, PM Trudeau is picking his words so carefully to make sure Donald knows and understands.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

I apologize, Canada! I didn't vote for him, and I damn sure don't like what he's doing!\n\nDo what you need to do to protect yourself! I'm a US citizen, but I fully support you!

We do not need any Canadian products. Tariffs will work, we have natural resources gas, oil, minerals. do not need you. Critical minerals. that's a joke. We have all the fertilizer we need. So I am not sure what he is talking about. Its time to bring the auto makers home, Its time to bring all our jobs back home. The canadians are tired of him as well and he is out in October and the conservative party will win just like in the US. People are tired of the left agenda.

I’m sure these two have a direct line of communication. Why address each other in this manner?

Trudeau is the worth PM Canada ever has. \nIf Trudeau would keep healthy economy tariffs wouldn’t be any problem. I am sure American people don’t give a SSSS!!t.
