Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Our disgusting president is an embarrassment to the USA.

as a German i ask me if a American understand what he say,now you can pay 10 Dollar for 2 Dollar Stuff USA you are so dump and you even now dont understand why that is

Idk how people can follow this guy. They call it a trade war but in reality it's just making the playing field even again. The USA is the 3rd biggest consumer and we don't tax them as much as they tax us.

Here’ a leader that knows what he’s talking a bout, very intelligent in comparison to the illiterate USA president Trump. America sack Trump before he totally ruins the once mighty us a.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

A brilliant speech. Honest and forthright. But lets get to the nitty gritty. It's about time the rest of the world realized that life does not revolve around the USA. There is NATO and even though political views differ there is a union to assist each other. America is on the path to a Dictatorship. Trump has the means and the backing to do it. If he gets his third term this will become a reality and there appears no one is prepared to stand in his way.

You Canadians should be proud of this man. Very well spoken. The Dutch stand with you against the USA ✊️

Way to go USA. God blessed u with Trump, his buffoonery is showing???

I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian. \nI am very proud of our Prime Minister. He speaks with truth and facts. He is articulate, calm, and composed. Such a contrast to what the world experienced watching trump and vance kibosh the Ukraine president. Trump and vance were utterly disgusting. \nGood luck to those of you in USA who didn't vote for trump and the nightmare you're dealing with. \nCanada, elbows up!❤

Your border is secure thanks to USA clown

Fuc. Trump, long live USA?

..when usa goes to Canada to play a game, canadians should play russian anthem instead of usa anthem.. its kinda the same thing nowadays..

Donald is working for putting simple as that he's bringing usa down step by step, be prepared.

wanna be dictator Make russia great again ! Respect to Canada ! I just wonder besides russia noth korea and Israel who is USA allies left !????

I'm getting the fuck out of USA idk if later on they will be allowed into the world there are under attack by a inside person

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

I can not say#47 name. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth!!! From the USA!!! America is suffereing because the idiots that put this treasonous person in office!!! God, help us!!! God you know the truth of it all!!!

It's sick isn't it? America and Russia have become allies. I thought USA was the other side but they are joining Russia. Canada, UK Europe, Japan and other ASEAN countries are the good guys. USA China Russia bad.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

Wes Clark is a smart man, and he doesn't understand this process. Russia is now the USAs strongest ally. Weird.

19:21 „Isolating Canada“ well, NO. New Trades between Europe and Canada are in place. Dummy Trump isolated USA from Canada (and their resources), like he isolated USA from Ukraine (and their resources)

Support to Canada from USA. Show this pro-ruzzian orange clown his place.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

You need USA. We don't need you. We have been taken advantage of long enough. Why did it take for Trump to tell you to make provisions against Fentanyl to actually implement it?

I wish Trudeau was president of USA. We'd be in a better place

TRUDEAU a real President not a Clown like Trump. USA President is Putin.

I have voted for Trump 3 times. Canada has over charged the USA through tariffs for years. I know you will miss the money but just suck it up like we have had to do. Pres Trump is for the American ppl and all his decisions are directed that way. For the ppl from our country that have commented on this statement and love Canada move there, right away.

After surviving every downturn, terrorism, world wars. \nIt turns out one man has the power to destroy the USA. \nTrump has to go.

? I wanna move to Canada! Seriously, it is so sad that citizens of the USA have to suffer at the hands of our Government/Trump. I have relatives in Canada and I live in a city directly across the river from Canada, I pray this does not affect the great relationship the common American citizen has with its Canadian neighbor! Love and Blessings to both countries and may God have mercy on us all. ????????????????????????

If this is what the usa think this is how to interact with friends you need no more enemies. And as Mr Trump loves deals so much he may be wanted to be treated like a dealer. Well...

Listening to Trudeau I am truly saddened that again USA has somehow elected a man who has systematically dismantling all of American's governments that oversee consumer rights and regulations while simultaneously fiscally attacking our neighbors, closest allies on all of our borders, meanwhile speaking publicly about a globally known dictator whose personal beliefs against democracy in his own country as well as the rest of the free world. I believe that a majority of Americans like myself are left shocked after this election and do not stand behind any of these unorganized, erratic government actions as we're looking at as a whole seem to be purposely creating a atmosphere of chaos and instability seemingly without responsibility there seems to be none in charge.

Justin, I thought you already resigned? Why you still speaking? But anyway, good luck to you. What Pres Trump request is not a rocket science. Well, you tariffs USA ?? we just reciprocate the deal.

We’re watching the downfall of the USA. Trump is a clown.

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

Very, very good speech by Trudeau. USA should be ashamed.

Trump it is an ally of russia working together with all autocracy countries and it is in the highest position possible to destroy NATO ally from the inside and that is exactly what he is doing together with elon musk and other billionaires, when USA will be terminated it will continue on the same path or straight conquering anything that oppose to them so in the end what will remain will be only very rich billionaires to rule the world as they like, and of course slaves... that means the rest of the world. How is that for a future scenario?

Any the USA can supply the world will supply. Canada will just buy it from other places. This isolates the USA and will drive in backwards.

Done with America!!!...\n\nFentanyl HAS NOTHING to do with these Tariffs\n\nIts a SHOW for Russia ...\n\nRemember his PRIVATE meeting with Putty in Saudi, duh???\n\nYou'll be isolating YOURSELVES!!!!\n\nKing Donald strikes again MAGA\nWhat FOOLS!!!!\n\nPartner with Russia, USA!!!\n\nThe WORLD is a bigger playground.\nYou're OUTNUMBERED!!!

USA USA, I thought this bum was stepping down? Didn’t he do brown face?

crasy crasy trump and his administration \nDelirium delirium delirium for trump!\nCanadians and his Prime Minister are proud of their country and for human rights and freedom!\nusa is not now a friend \nusa is a friend for dictators like russia and poutine or north corea and mafias organizations and Netanyahu and destroyed Gaza and countries around with moneys from usa and trump with arms for millions and millions of milliards $\nBye bye usa\nStay in your crimes \nStay in injustice actions\nWith your gods $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I’m so embarrassed of my country, the USA, right now. We want you to know many of us do not support Trump!

Negotiating with USA today is as negotiating with Putin! Zero!

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

JT...what a great speech ! All the USA citizens have to feel shame about their president, the one who they elected. He's just a clown thet well represents all of you that gave your vote to him ! What a shame !

I don't understand why the land of the free America has launched a trade war on its allies whilst sucking up to a murdering gangster in the Kremlin - I applaud Trudeau on his powerful speech against the malignant orange blob in the Oval Office - We in Europe back Canada against a MAGA fascist regime - We will boycott US business in solidarity with Canada - The EU & the UK will support you - The land of the free is not the USA.

He’s almost out who cares USA ??

Madafaking trump. Hate this guy with passion. What an a hole. His going to be the downfall of USA

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.

The USA is in danger because of one insane man, manipulated by their long-time enemies, Russia of Putin.
