clear speach!

Trudeau is clearly an actor.

Trump is a disaster. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a real politician and had no business ever touching the oval office. This guy has gone bankrupt multiple times. He's running our country into the ground.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

America doesn't want to explore options to extract minerals. America wants free and clear without any bartering or bargaining from the Canadian side. American want to loot every country they can put their hands on. It's in their colonizing DNA

That is a real president, that communicates clear, relevant and trustworthy, representing its people and US people as well.\nThank you!

Trump is trashing U.S. relations with friends and allies, isolating your country, destroying your reputation worldwide, threatening U.S. jobs, U.S. security, the U.S. economy.. Why? To Make America Great Again - No! He wants to line his pockets and those of his billionaire friends with the tarrif revenue - its as clear as day!

Trump is engaging in treason. Just to be clear. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe, Great Britain, Ukraine, and all of our allies.

Let’s be clear, only one person wants this.

Wow, the Prime Minister handled himself like a champion. You can clearly see the problematic politics and the unbalanced decisions that the United States has adopted.

Well Played Premier JT! Your delivery was ?. I love how you purposefully quoted the Wall Street journal too. You made it very clear that you, JT are not the one who is saying “Donald is smart”, while using his first name like he disrespectfully uses yours. Stroke his pathetic ego! \n?\nHow will you stand up for us though? Universal basic income for all!

If it isn't already clear, the fox is in charge of the hen house! All the chickens and eggs are his, along with the hen house itself. This fox has zero interest in anything outside of that hen house. The old fox doesn't care if the world burns down around his house because he is a psychopath with zero empathy. This old fox makes Hitler look like a good guy. And dork MAGA, well he's even worse, cos he wants to make the whole world his hen house.

Very well done! Clear… straight … proud!

Thank you Canada......how refreshing to hear Truth and Clear speaking to help us understand. We are scared here in the US - it seems impossible that this is happening.

This was an excellent speech. Can you imagine the dolt Trumpf actually having the language ability to give such a clear argument. \nNeither can I.

Fentanyl...let me be crystal clear ?

Stop trying to speak to the Convict's good side because he has none. Canada Diversify away, realign, unite and form new trading blocks. Circle the wagon leaving the USA outside. It is clear they are moving on. Friends are now being treated like enemies.

Wow, clear, concise, articulate respectful, factual as opposed to the insane ranting from the orange buffoon pretending to be a leader in the USA.

Canadian, you have an intelligent, straight, direct, and clear mind leader.

Wow, this is what a sane person sounds like. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for a clear and concise explanation of this unfortunate situation. I am embarrassed by my country.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

EU should do the same on applying tarriffs to Trump US and should continue to support Ucraine against the dictator in that country. Canada leader explained clearly and decisivaly their position against the bully tactics from US based on lies ( that is the policy of the Trump US - actions based on lies )

We know that our president is a frigging idiot, but the fact he *noticeably* drops his language grade level when “talking directly to” Trump and says “we’ve done *big things*” twice and calls him a “very smart guy” and pulls it into a schoolyard metaphor of “two friends fighting.”\n\nI couldn’t wrap my head around how we got saddled with this joke of a human in 2016. \nCouldn’t fathom how it was close in 2020.\nWant to vomit every day that we allowed this deep, unchecked harm to befall us, our allies, and the entire world. \n\nI keep wanting to just wake up.\nI feel so insane that we seem to have literally no power to stop this, and that the *entirety* of the GOP is completely fine with this. They have the power, but truly with small margins. But they’re just … all complicit in this.\n\nAnd even NOW, when it’s clearly going to fuck the economy and markets in ways that hurt actual corporations (who truly run it all now, from all sides of the political aisle except what seems like 5 social Dems/independents federally), even THE MONEY isn’t talking.

Listen B 4real everyone. President Trump had 2c all his allies back him. Defend him. During President Trump's campaign, he gave clear instructions on these plans. Some 4 the citizens. Some financial issues. Safety crisis as well. ?? & ?? Thought he, President Donald Trump, was playing games. Guess what he gave grace but wasn't lying. Canadians spokesperson, clean up in-house 1st. U should be out. Where is the, newly elect??‍????. Message 4 the newbie. He's not playing pls recognize.?? Certain games shouldn't be played. If ? ? get turned off, then u playing the wrong games. ⛽️ about damn time u turn off the tap or sell it 4 ? . Just giving away 4 free??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ ?? joying cheat Fuel laughing at us. Shut the Fuel off or just a slow dripp ? That Keystone Canadian contribution section should be 4 years ahead of the ??. Just overall bad planning on Both ?? and ?? The rest of the world is getting tariffs as well. We up 1st ? Sorry spokesperson JT do some real work finally. Enough with ur gums, IT'S NOT u. Sekkle urself. 4 years to stop a war???Maybe them 2 can't do no good in the ? of the past!!! WAR GAMES are almost OVER.??

Let's be very clear. \nTrump the stump is not American. \nHe is a Nazi Putin Boot Licker.

The correspondents are so weaselly. The fentanyl arguments for tariffs are clear bullshit and yet they won't say it out loud. Still equivocating and wishy washy.

Donald trued to squeeze Ukraine financially so he can get their natural resources, and his friend putin, can add it to his country, Donald is trying to do the same to Canada, it was always a deceptive excuse given through the media, knowing full well he was NEVER going to keep his word. Canadians are bigger than you and your pets at the Whitehouse. We have morales, values, and integrity and will never let you win. What the trump administration stands for is very clear from the type of individuals running it and the type of friend it is keeping. B

This what real leadership looks like. This is how government should function. Clear, concise & reasonable.

Trudeau is a very clear communicator. Australia is with you Canada. We're next.

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister for an incredibly important and well read speech! One thing though....Donald Trump is NOT SMART!! Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump! He cares about RETRIBUTION against people who dislike or laugh at him. He is a GIANT NARCISSIST and a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR!! He would rather be BUDDIES with DICTATOR Vladimir Putin than with any allies! Trump is TANKING the economy and CRASHING the Stock Market which also includes people's retirement funds. DONALD TRUMP IS 100% A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!!! HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED, REMOVED, AND IMPRISONED!!! HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR GOING ALONG WITH TRUMP!! THEY ARE ALL ACCOMPLICES!!!\n\nTIME TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN, SWEAR IN KAMALA HARRIS AS SHE WAS THE RUNNER UP, AND FIX WHAT DONALD TRUMP DESTROYED!!!

GO TRUDEAU - As an American I strongly support your position and stand with you and the people of Canada. We Americans are currently being held by the iron fist of a mad man who conned his way into our government with his lies and deceit. We will fight him at every turn, EVERY time. These people have CLEARLY forgot that the government is by the people and FOR the people. Instead, they've chosen to use the government and the people of the U.S. for their benefit ALONE. We will not tolerate this. Consider this American CANADIAN at heart

Krasnov Trump says repeatedly its America First, but his actions have clearly shown from his actions its Russia First

Much respect his speech was CRYSTAL CLEAR no insults honesty..\nTrump clearly SOLD AMERICA TO RUSSIA the enemy.??we are doomed Satan please come get your child bc what trump is doing is evil..

I like Justin made it crystal clear that it is the Trump govt, not the Americans.

I'm from Czech, EU is the next stop for Trump tariffs... Common sense can't be used here when he is convinced which side of the trade war will pay for tariffs.... (and he expressed his 'opinion' on this topic pretty clearly)\n\nEU is bureaucratic mastodon, but I'm still proud that on the right side of the real life values...

Canada would be in a better place If he only spoke this clearly and stood up with a back bone years ago, not months before leaving office! smh

As a German and a European i think the best bet of the free democratic Nations of the world is to ally against this. New Conferderations must be formed or old ones must be refomed. but clear as day is that, only together we can stop the immenent redrawing of the borders accruing worldwide as the Russian aggression and the allingment of the USA government with them, is proof to all Autocrats that now is the right time to Tackle such Ambitions. Im verry frightened about the future.

Let's make this crystal clear. Donald Trump has declared a trade war with Canada not America. The Trump Tariffs and the Trump Alienation of our allies is a betrayal of America and it's citizens. The vast majority of Americans are against these actions and stand with our allies. Free nations do what needs to be done but please do not cast blame on those Americans who reject this administration wholeheartedly. The Trump administration DOES NOT represent America they are BETRAYERS!

WTF what do you mean make it make sense... here its easy Trump is a Russian asset , everything he does towards Putin tells you so apply Occums razor and it is clear as day.......

PM Trudeau: I am sorry to put you in this position. You have a clear understanding however, that it is only donald trump bringing on these hideous actions, not American citizens. Let’s hope our Congress can muster up the courage, like yours, to get donald gone from the Oval.

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

I hope Americans hear this loud & clear, Trudeau is speaking for the whole western world!

What a difference between Minister Trudeau u American ......!!! It's clear to me, Trump wants to destroy America,wants to suffer many people... ???If all Americans will unite & fight.... we'll win ???

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

Just to be clear… President Musk, VP Trump did this, not the millions who voted against this F****** oligarchy.

It's clear the only leverage Canada has is to try and turn the American people against it's own government. Americans need to realize this instead of being used as pawns for other countries' governments.

Well spoken and clear!!! Our government is putting America to shame. Shame on our president

As an American I thought voting for Trump would be better then Kamala but I was wrong, if she won I don’t think we would be going down hill as clearly as this.

We must stand up for ourselves against the bully like Trump. I hope to see other world leaders to do the same thing like Canadian PM Trudeau. As he points out loud and clear that Trump hurts Americans!!!!
