Trudeau is absolutely wrong....Donald Trump is not a smart man in the least.

Canada this Trump not all of America, we stand with you and Ukraine what he is doing is wrong and unjust. ?I believe he should be tried for treason and be impeached. -Nikki

As an American, he ain’t wrong.

Nothing wrong with reciprical tariffs, not one person has given me a argument against why its not fair yet?

American here and no, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

“The RUSSIAN&USA will do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.” \nUkraine 2025 \n\n “Absolute Gibberish”\nTrump talks about WAR!! WW3 like it’s a poker game.\nTrump showed open disdain for the Ukrainian president!! \nmoral compass used in reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act accordingly. ???

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

Everything wrong in this country is due to the worst human being in American history, Trump is responsible for the deaths of atleast 1,000.000 Americans, the war in Ukraine, the high cost products Americans have to for everything you're either blind or just dumber than Trump.

I'm with Mr. Trudeau on this one. Anybody with at least two brain cells...do you disagree? What the hell is wrong with people that would believe in this scum. How do you know if dump and muskrat really have your back? It sucks to be you. This is almost unbelievable. Pops, sorry, you go for this puke, I'm out and you have nothing to offer me. I don't need anything from you or your business or anything you wanted me to have that has blood money all over it. I'm a child of God's before your sperm donation. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAD. Congratulations on paying more for stock thanks to these idiots. If you are not for me, you ARE against me. I call bullshit on every single MAN on earth, including ME!

For GOD sake, stop this! The car is speeding down the road and no one has the wheel. This is so wrong.

Americans know our government is doing wrong and we support Canada

Like Russia, Canada has key strategic resources and huge oil and gas reserves. The west could not cause the collapse of the Russian economy after it invaded Ukraine because of that key fact. Canada will eventually find other markets for its natural resources. This is a sad fact as integrating our economy with the U.S. has been a great benefit to both countries. You buy our natural resources, we buy your manufactured goods. Too bad, this administration does not see this simply reality. Don't get me wrong, Canada will suffer MORE than the U.S. as our economy is much smaller, but it will survive and once it decouples its economy from that of the U.S., it will be fine. The U.S. on the other hand is breaking treaties with longtime allies and isolating itself on the world stage. It is squandering its place as world leader and world superpower. China is licking its chops.

It's so strange to listen to CNN acting like Trump is sane. Wtf is wrong with you clowns? It's clear he's sinking your economy, why won't you say it out loud?

As a US citizen, I apologize on behalf of this corrupt administration. I certainly didn't vote for the ??, and I'm not sure how anyone could have... yet, here we are. Half of the US certainly deserves it, and I fully understand the need for extreme measures at this point. What he did to Zelenskyy and what he is doing to our allies...yall do what ya gotta do. Half of us are rooting for Canada, Ukraine, and our allies. Idk what's wrong with the other half, but its shameful to say the least. It was never about fentanyl. Trump doesn't give half of a fuck if people die from fentanyl or otherwise.

He has brains and looks. He is blessed. We need a reasonable, cerebral president like Justin. But no! We are stuck with a geriatric, vindictive, felon! The only thing Justin got wrong was calling Donald smart?

There is only one thing the canadian prime minister got wrong. Trump is an ABSOLUTE STUPID MORON and that is the reason he does dumb moves like tariffs. Plus, trump is a criminal that should have been put in prison years ago

I am Canadian!!! I don't like Trump, he is everything that is wrong with American politics.

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.

WELL WE SEND BILLIONS TO CANADA,THEY'VE ALLOWED ALL ILLEAGLES TO TO BRING DRUGS AND CRIMINALS TOO ARE 'GREAT COUNTRY' AND YOU ALL DONT GIVE A SHIT,SO NOW I SEE THE COMMENTS YOU ALL ARE SENDING,YOU'RE WRONG,AND YOU LIE AND TELL ONLY 20% OF THIS NEWS,SICKENING TO SEE THIS!!!!?

For all of you supporting Zelenskyy, the man cannot even account for $100 billions -- yes, billions with a B -- given to his country, and his stupidity plays right into the hands of starting WWIII, if we're not in it already. Ukraine is just another source of money laundering, and here we are just willing to give more and more money without any result, except for dead bodies. There is nothing wrong for wanting peace. You can't negotiate with only one side. And for Canada, Canada has been charging us high tariffs for years, but no one has pointed out that unfairness.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong on his speech was to say that Trump is a smart man. Any attempted appeasement of Trump is simply not worth it.

Explaining you did everything right and the us did everything wrong, ohh trueducky we have seen this over and over ????? go tax canadians more

Well, Trudeau is wrong about a couple of things: first, Fentanyl for medical use is a good medication (e.g. in emergency rooms). and second, Donald Trump is NOT A SMART guy. He is an idiot. Otherwise Trudeau is spot on. Can the US have him and get rid of Tronald Dump?

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

This man Treaudeau is far from a leader for all the people outside of Canada that don’t know, he fucked this entire country up economically. But he ain’t wrong on this speech.

Prime Minister Trudeau is the REAL leader of the free world. Canada what is wrong with you? You forced this brilliant, compassionate, democratic leader to resign?! Fools. Learn from us and the idiots who voted the bankrupt compromised pathological lying felon into our White House.

I love my country, but we are going the wrong way.

CNN got one thing wrong. They refer to Russia as an adversary. It's clear that we've changed sides.

Trudeau was wrong. Trump is stupid, not smart.

I’m so disgusted as an American. He is not my president and the whole country is not behind this. Only the stupid maga crazies that can’t admit that they are wrong and that he is a piece of ?

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

This is so wrong, UK with you Canada ❤️

I serve and defend my home at home not somewhere else and call it defending. If you get up and leave your home to defend, you are wrong, this is call invasion ?… USA always invaded and attacked other countries and call it defending democracies and human rights. You all know deep in your hearts that this is not true. Sleep on that

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

Nowadays I’m wondering if America is a country of Trump and Elon musk or if it’s a country for Americans.\n\nI love America and I was ok with the win of Trump and I celebrated it! I was wrong ?

Trump said he would cap credit card interest rates to 10%. Funny how he hasn’t done that only grifting by launching crypto scams, removed joe Biden’s executive order that protected consumers from absurd overdraft fees. Even if Trump burns the country down the conservatives will blame Obama, Hillary and Joe Biden and not their side. It’s like a narcissistic party that thinks they are always right and never wrong.

What is wrong with y'all...Canadians depend on US military protection. Their military is 1/30th of our military in size and technology putting it mildly. Which allows them to focus their budget not on defense spending but on their citizens. Where US citizens pay for a huge military budget so forgive me if I could care less about Canadians and their perceived unfair tariffs.... time to pay your share or become 51st state

Unfortunately. Trump will never admit he is wrong. He will burn America down to cinders before he admits anything.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

One thing i think is wrong. Trump is NOT a smart guy. Hes an idiot who shouldnt be in the position hes in.

If look at another perspective, if Trump did not impose tarrifs, then Canada will continue to sell the cars back to US for high profits. Trump mentioned about this, he is not happy. Actually I can understand Trump and what he is trying to do. If he is not harsh, Canada will never change taking advantage of US, not spending on own military.... Etc. US empire is declining fast, and Trump knows this. He is desperate to make his own country great again and stop the decline even though what he must do is going to be very unpopular among all americunts' friends and allies. The same for EU and troublemaker Ukraine who started the war by arrogantly provoking giant superpower neighbor Russia. US cannot afford to fund money, soldiers, weapons for war anymore. If EU wants to support, EU can go ahead without US. Trump is trying to save his own country so he is not wrong.

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

As an Ohioan living on the Lake Erie border with Canada for 23 years, I am a best friend of your nation and your citizens! Canada is a great friend to the United States! Our President is wrong in thinking that tariffs will accomplish anything good for Americans or the world’s citizens!

Canadian are always wrong in foreign policy. Who cares Canada protecting Ukraine and they cannot protect themselves from US invasion

The United States did not start a trade war. Donald Trump started it. Millions of Americans do not believe that tariffs or economic sanctions are necessary or a good idea. On behalf of all decent Americans who believe that our government is in the wrong, we apologize for our president’s behavior.

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

Theodore is wrong, Trump is cunning but not smart.

Why it took trump to get in the sit to do right , he been doing us wrong letting drugs on our border and etc and now since January you claiming since we upped on border control we suppose to forget the pass

Canada should not only retalliate with tarrifs, but should challenge the lawfullness of American tarrifs under the GATT, the USMCA and in the US courts. The tarrifs are unlawful under American law. Canadians are generally refusing to buy ANY American goods. This should continue. America: you f'd with the wrong country.
