Two things come to mind after hearing about all this stuff. Why you go on live TV and waste your time when you could attempt to talk it out with the American government? Also, if the United States is posing a 25% tariff in Canada is doing the exact same thing isn't it more or less a wash?

To anyone that isn't an American: our president does not represent all of us. Many of us are vehemently against this ridiculous person in office, and understand if other countries need to step away from us because of this nonsense.

Now they’re not gonna care about fentanyl coming into America and are just gonna leave it up to Mr. Trump to deal with it. They spent billions of dollars and our president isn’t even acknowledging that fact, but instead sensationalizing things for his own benefit. Thanks for increasing the flow of fentanyl President Trump!

Why isn't Trump in prison???

Isn't this fool supposed to resign? If you want to support Ukraine, go right ahead. America is done with this BS!

Mr. Trudeau, like Mr. Zelinsky are strong caring smart men who are showing us as citizens of The United States what a weak dangerous bully narcissistic leadership we have! This will hurt us not only with buying things, but alienating our country when there is a time of great need, like an, God forbid, attack!..People....WAKE UP before it's too late! Do you think putin isn't waiting for our country to become vulnerable??? so he can turn on us too!! WAKE UP

Nothing but two people trying to do what they think is best for their own countries. I'm not mad at that, but Trudeau for the sake of his country, will make it harder on us by his tarrifs which tells me how much she really cares for Americans, not more than his. Which I'm fine with. You have to take care of your own, but tit for tat isn't good for anyone.

As an American I’m proud and glad that Canada isn’t putting up with Trumps nonsense. Do what you need to do Canada, the American PEOPLE love you ❤

Thank you PM Trudeau! As an American, I appreciate your information, something that isn’t readily available in my country.

Isn’t this the guy that drove Canada into the ground and now you’re all cheering for him? Y’all are cooked

Trump isn't starting this trade war because of drugs. He's doing it for no other reason than to damage your relationship. Everything else is just a distraction so he can motivate it to the American public to prevent them from realizing what is really going on before it is too late. Why would he want to damage your relationship? It's not because it benefits America. There's another external part that benefits. And that is where you need to look.

Isn’t trudeau the same guy the whole world agreed upon is a complete idiot

Lol Trudeau talking to Trump like he isn’t a Russian asset

The reason trump isn’t interested in the minerals in Canada is because he wants to give Ukrainian mineral to Russia

It was funny the first time the orange dullard was in office.. but this is really just sad tbh .. he isn't showing signs of progress but decline ...

Isn't it the U.S. border officials and customs responsible for what comes into our country and Canadian border officials and customs responsible for what comes into their country. Also, most fentanyl in the U.S. is actually produced in the U.S. itself.

This guy is everything Trump isn't

Trudeau isn't even Canada's leader anymore.\n Why isn't peace the ultimate goal?

This isn’t about fentanyl. This is trump trying to intentionally destroy the US. As an American citizen, I am sickened and furious over what’s he is doing to my country. Canada, don’t back down. Stick it to the orange idiot.

The US under the orange anus is no friend to any country that isn't run by authoritarian dictatorships. \n\nHit us back hard, Canada. We deserve to be hurt for electing that orange monster!!

How is it that this traitor is still president? Such treachery threatens the United States in its existence. Isn't there a mechanism to remove him with immediate effect after this? This and cancelling all efforts to protect the United States from Russian cyber attacks.

Keep telling yourself and believing that Trump isn't in Putin's pocket. It's so crystal clear when you stop thinking like a cult member.

This isn’t “just business”. America has to remain steadfast to our commitments. We can’t be fair weather friends.

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

Blah blah blah Lies lies lies. Trudeau isn’t even liked by his own ppl. Why should we trust a guy that is trying to control his own country with Communist agendas?

Isn’t this guy supposed to resign soon?

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

Trump’s Fentanyl excuse is probably total BULLSHIT and this isn’t about Fentanyl at all..????

US credibility isn't on the line, it's gone

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trump. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorably in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. Canadians do not respect or like him. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

But if POTUS is actually a covert enemy to the U.S. then he will continue doing what opposes the country's interests, surely? Like, I'm not convinced Trump isn't following orders from Russia. Putin and his allies have never been happier, that's all I'm saying.

Turdo isn't the guy. I just cant hear him. He's just not the right guy for the job simple as. Not to mention I can only see deception and corruption all over him.

I know it isn't nearly enough, but please, please accept my deepest apologies! We don't not accept or support this government. We are victims of this dictatorship.

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

Donny the dictator trump will not last long…. He’s pissing everyone off who isn’t in his suck up club. Donnyboy only thinks about himself and how much money he can acquire. Oh, I’m sure Putin is going to enrich donnyboy well. Stand strong Canada. From a loving neighbor in NY state.

Canada supplies up to 40% of American power so an export tariff would cripple the US, its economy isn't good

Trudeau is a leader. Trump is a follower of Putin. I'm so sorry, Canada. This isn't what most Americans want. Trump is a shame, and he won't last.

Canada isn't a Country it's the 51st US State. Better Hope Greenland doesn't beat you to the Deal. First come, First serve to the Full backing and open Arms with a Bear Hug included with 0% Tariffs and increased Developmental Funding.

I bet Fox isn't showing this. There is no coincidence that Fox is the most watched propagandistic channel, and that Trump won the election. They are traitors to America.

Stupid tyrannical sob . Isn't this the same pos who took bank accounts of people donating to truckers protest ? Wow he's as delusional as Newsom

Fentanyl isn't flooding in the US from Canada (0.2% !!). In face I wouldn't be surprised if more is flowing into Canada from the US than from Canada.

Trudeau is a snake. Trump's requests were simple; secure your borders to stop illegals and fentanyl from entering our country. \n\nYou refused. So now you get reciprocity. This isn't going to affect us in the US anywhere near as bad as it will affect Canadians. Trudeau's unwillingness to do what's right will come back to bite him in the ass.

This what a proper leader sounds like. A man who trying to help all his people not just the millionaires and billionaires. A man who isn’t aligning his country with a murderous dictator.

Why isn't the French part interpreted? Do you think he's telling anecdotes or poutin recepies in French?

Trump isn't worried about the cost of living. He's on Elon's payroll.

Trudeau has not been an USA friend in years. Perhaps a friendly acquaintance and part time(when its a far left issue) alloy. Isn't he gone?? You are NO FRIEND of mine.

No , America proper isn't against Canada , the Orange Narcissist in Chief and his sociopathic oligarchs are . Trump's gotta *GO* , period !

Trump isn't being played, he's a RUSSIAN ASSET.

Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.
