Serves Canada right as are many other countries. We have relied to much on America for too long. \nIn the long run this is better because we will become stronger and more independent.

EU is with Canada, all day long ! you can be proud to have such a pm

I can't believe people are still baffled about the scumbag trumps affection for putin? The scumbag is compromised 9 ways to Sunday when it comes to his decade's long connections with Russia, so putin has him by the balls for committing international financial crimes that would make wanted worldwide. This shit ant rocket science people.

America and he have had such goodvrelations but he knows that for a long time the tariffs haven't been about anything good. Which mouth are you talking out of Trudeau.

Canadians and Americans are friends. But Trump intends to destroy it. Anyway Trump won't stay long.

Everybody now.is our closest ally. Matter of fact, everybody is our closest ally as long as the money flows and we do their bidding.

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

At long last Trudeau bites back against Trump and it's only after he screwed Canada over and helped Trump do the same.

Ok Trudeau, you wanna play? Because Trump will walk all over your liberal ass. Come and get some. Youve been stealing from the USA for too long.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

When are we gonna finally realize that Trump is a Russian asset. He’s been recruited by the kgb a long time ago, that’s why he can’t say anything about his Russian boss. Probably through his first wife. Deep ties… \nProbably been bailed out by Russia many times in the past so he owes them a debt of gratitude. How else would you recover from 6 bankruptcies. Think people??? Doesn’t this explanation make sense. We just want to deny what’s so obvious.

How long is this insanity going to be allowed to continue?!

It's going to be a long 4 years.

How long will it take before this traitor is forcibly removed from office by the US military? He is quickly driving the USA off a cliff.

Many countries tax American cars with 100-300 % long time ago now that the US is doing 25% everybody are mad don't seem fair to me.

You idiots at CNNo use the word blistering, like you are a Canadian! AS long as CNNo keeps showing your true colors of loyalty, WE AMERICANS NEED TO CONTINUE TO NOT WATCH UNTIL IT GOES AWAY!! I know it's hard to run a network without your kickback money!! And with only brainwashed viewers, there is nothing left for you to report!! CNNo you have no CREDIBILITY!!!!!

Trump is a sociopathic dumbass.... this will hurt america in the long run. ALL allies are turning away from that toxic US policies.... bye bye US Dollar and US ignorance will hurt you soon...

So ....why you don't stop fentanyl smuggling to USA and you kept your boarding loosely for illegals immigrants so long, you just said USA is close friend with Canada bla bla bla....shut up.

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.

For your information Trudeau resigned as the Prime Minister of Canada. Canadians are waiting for a federal election date to be announced. After 9 years Canadians overwhelmingly want rid of this fool. Our economy is in ruins long before the American people elected Donald Trump

One of the best speeches I have heard from a head of state in a long time.

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

First thing I've liked from Canada!!!!! Hell yeah Trudea!!!!! Trump SUCKS!!!!! LONG LONG LIVE UKRAINE ??

anyone that doesnt think shit gets worse before it gets better is delusional. weve kicked the can down the road for decades and now were at a breaking point. Tarrifs are mad toi bring companies back to america making our country more self sufficient and not so reliant on everyone else which will strenghten us. TSMC has already made a deal to start manufacturing chips here which control everything we know and china could stop that at any moment. Honda is coming here as well. All in all almost one trillion has been committed to invest in the us and this is a huge win for the long run. Alot of these countries have had tarriffs on us for ages and the people speaking out against it is because its hurting their pockets. The long run this is mandatory and we should have never let manufacturing go in the first place.

Small potato is only good at talking tough knowing full well he won't be around long enough to face the consequences.

This is really going to piss off Trump.\nTrudeau could have moderated his tone, he could have just said, Canada will reciprocate the tariffs.\nTrudeau will not have to face the Trump administration for too long, the next leader of Canada will have to deal with the pissed off Trump.

The rural parts of America, where people wear military style clothing, work out so much they have oversized body muscles, and style their head and facial hair so crazily, driving heavy duty trucks with anti -American government bumper stickers, they are the right wing domestic terrorists. In those mountainous rural counties you will come across poor grade roads with gates and chains at the entrance to hundreds of fortress compounds. The women are way too thin, often with frightened, glazed looks in their eyes. Both the men and women will give anyone a way too long piercing stare. They live too far away from any place to work so many of the carefully obscured building complexes, often jammed against sheer tall walls of rocks, have to be making something inside!

Dear American readers, \n \nWe, the world, have long lauded your patriotic convictions in pursuit of a just democracy. \n \nJohn Wilkes Booth ✅ \nCharles J. Guiteau ✅ \nLeon Czolgosz ✅ \nLee Harvey Oswald ✅ \n \nSadly, we've noticed your recent decline. \n \nThomas Matthew Crooks ❎❎❎ \n \nNow that the Demolitia is going away, can someone please stand up for democracy ( and aim between the eyes? ). \n \nBetween the eyes, not the ear! \n \n*Free speech MAGGOTS, come cry to me about it.

U S A and canada they are long time friends I think trump is the one who will break this relationship

6:58 That Drama gasp - how long did you practice it?

I think we've been compromised.\nhow long before this is stopped

anyone figure out yet that Russia would love for the EU to approach them along with Ukraine with a truce proposal without US involved so that Trump looks like a problem... and separates us from our long term allies looking like people you cant trust. \n \nthe great deal maker is being played by putin. \n \nhe has divided the alliance, and now has singled out USA as outside the circle. This president is driving us into the dirt.

Really wish Trudeau would have been this firm during his whole tenure because it would have crushed the rise of maple maga. He seemed too soft for too long. Either way, it's good to see now.

Let that snake and his supporters know you and your country are no ones push overs and two can play at this game as long as it takes.

From England …. What a true calm detailed and factual speech… a class act that stands above all the rubbish and lies coming out of the White House and the GOP. Republicans have no balls and they should all be impeached for appeasement with Russia… shame on America and up the Canadian European alliance .. long live freedom and democracy

I hope this lasts a long time so MAGA has learned and went back to school to learn about economics 101. Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, etc. You will be on thw street s now.

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

What a dumb ass. And liar. Funny when you say he’s “blistering” and then say Trump says something the opposite. First time in a long time we have a president that is actually fighting for his citizens. Trudeau is a phony pos

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.

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

I'm British and thought long and hard about what I'd miss if I boycott US companies. Amazon and Costco most likely. But maybe I'll have to do it

No, Donald is NOT a smart man. He has a long history of doing dumb things.

Thank God someone has the courage to speak out against Trump. Someone in the administration needs to take the bull by the horns and speak out against him in no uncertain terms over the long haul.

Trump won't last long. He's an absolute creature.

Wow.... Is he still talking? I was peeing for a really long time. ?

lol. What a loser your own country hates you and now your screwing up the country more. Also Canada already charges the USA tariffs long before this came up.

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

Now that Russia is in taters, they want a ceasefire. The war was justified as long as Russia was winning? Ukraine has gained its advantage through great ingenuity and sacrifice. This is not the time to stop against the aggressor. Should the allies have stopped against Hitler? Look at Germany and Japan today. The victory will have plenty of investment opportunities to recoup their money. This is what the whole war is about!

Annex Canada! Welcome to America Canada! You will now be known as the United provinces of America. Also truedoe step down. You have failed your nation for a very long time.
