Less than one percent illegal immigrants cross from Canada to the US Trudeau saying that’s a lie I see at least 60 people a day cross the border and get a ride to New York City

its OK for Canada to have higher tariffs on the USA but not the otherway Canada should help the USA and bring there tariffs down and we will bring our tariffs down 0 tariffs for all Canada needs us more then we need them.

I support the USA. The tariffs will hurt Canada and Mexico far more than the USA. In 2023 - 76% of Canada's exports were shipped to the US. That is 19% of their total GDP. Mexico exported 78% of its exports to the US, which is 37% of its GDP. US exports to Canada & Mexico combined were only 2.7%. Both countries will need to find other buyers or capitulate. No wonder Trudeau is screaming like a stray dog hit by a rock.

A US government inventing a pretext for hostile action? I’m shocked; SHOCKED, I tell you.

HELL YEAH.! Give'm HELL. Build a wall and make US-inanians Pay For it.!\n\nCome to think about it, maybe Canada should strengthen ties with the Piplz Rep o'China, and stuff; see how much the US likes THEM apples!

US president is a moron.

I'm European and I am so proud about Mr. Trudeau and his team. What an intelligent people. The speech is simple to understand but together it is so strong and says all that matters. Applause. 20-40 years ago US was seen as a dream country here in EU, every east European dreamed to live there, but not anymore. Today most would not go to US to live even if they are payed to do so. US reputation is in historical downfall.

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!

After screwing the United States, they cry because they don't want to apply the same one that they apply to us America first

From us in Britain. I think ever since Trump back in power he cause massive divid between american and their allies. Maybe Trump is the enemy now possible bigger threat than Russia and China. Canada your always welcome in Britain.

Looks like Trump wants some justification for setting an active trade between US and Russia.

why cant we have smart, nongeriatric leaders in the US?

Ashamed American here. Please Canada, please don't forget that at least half of us Americans hate this stunning crap every bit as much as you do. We support you, Canada ...not Trump and his cohorts.

Way to go Canada, I'm American and and ashamed of our felon wanna be dictator that had put us in this position.

Yes! Thank you for pointing out so succinctly what the US government is doing to its citizens.

Trump truly is an idiot I am shocked that our political system is crumbling right before our eyes becouse of one man and that is wanna be Dictator Trump who needs to be Impeached ASAP and his cronies starting with the disgusting and Discrase of a Vise President JD Vance who should resign immediately fellow Americans we need to wake up and Fast yes I had voted for Trump thinking he was gonna make America ?? great yeah well he duped us all he is slowly Destroying America he has his own agenda which obviously is not Good. God bless our Country and Slava Ukraine ?

So far the US has lost more, their stock market has crashed

Boot lickas. Canada can’t win a trade war w the US?

Here we go....... God help us. Still got 4 years to go.

Is this the beginning of US plans to invade Canada?

Trump is literally crashing the US economy. He's tanking the markets and the value of the US dollar internationally.

I guess if the us went low they dragging them to h311.

Thank you from a very concerned, and frankly embarrassed, US Citizen.

Sorry Canada, we Americans really had no choices in the last election and most of us stayed home. Democrats were offering nothing and Republicans were offering a rehash of 2016. The rest is history. ?

As an American, our President is running rampant. He is a dictator and is threatening colleges with removing funding. He does not represent us. We hope the world can hear us when our President is so much making a fuss so much louder

U.S citizen here. Trudeau is correct. Our government is making us pay more for products, and it isn't helping anyone in America. It is another tax on those of us who do real work.

Trudeau, not the same argument. Why charge us 25%?

Hi Justin it might be political fight and they putting economy on hostage, why not call for early elections and there is maybe changes on US side no? \nPlease Justin we loved you but if you resigned and call elections maybe we still have good hope

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

Many of us Americans stand with Canada.

Oh come on, Canada is irrelevant, the fact that the USA has even allowed Canada to exist as a country.Canada should be thankful for that.Mark my words no one, not one country can do anything if the US decides to annex Canada and make canada it's 51st state.

Good man. The US population should listen carefully. And then Look at the lying pancake faces in the WH that ruin them!

If Trump was a Russian asset, this is exactly what they would want him to do. Destroying NATO, dismantling the US government, taking our defensive capabilities like Cyber team stop focusing on Russia, and finally cratering the US economy is EXACTLY what Russia wants. If MAGA can't see this, you are blind and deaf to reality. I can't believe I'm watching this happen!

That boy just Threatened the people of the us That's one thing do not do

You wanna mooch off the US Goodluck! We support Trump.

CNN, why in the world do you waste our time telling us what we just saw and heard? Anyway, I'm very nervous, if not down right scared, to watch the United States devolve into a fascist regime. It feels terrorists now hold our government hostage. For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

Russia should take it's old soviet satellite countries. China can have Taiwan. America unites the contenent. Canada and Mexico become the new US territories. This is the new world order to come. You can't fight the future. Resistance is futile.

American here who has spent 57 years visiting and loving Canada. HELP US get rid of the monsters in the White House. Thank you Canadian friends.

Please run for US President! This is the President I want!

Maybe the US can become another Province? Then at least we'd have a sane and intelligent leader.

Keep us out of this group chat

The trade war that's nothing to do with Rusia war, the trade war is related with your incompetent roll letting drugs pouring by the border from China period and the Rusia war it's because with not gonna be supporting the war that you and Europe wants with our MONEY. Two different topics, we don't need your stuff and your country will lose more than us and your crying is just a because you don't want be traded with 25 %. You are talking to the minority of the American people because the majority voted Trump so your speech it's a wasting time for me

I still believe that Trudeau would be the best person to expose the trump north canadian running for pm. He said that he is not Maga but that is what he would say. Why would he admit that. He wants your vote. But we should take our example from the US. Beware beware. Thanks Justin.

US 2025: the most corrupt, unreliable and vile banana republic in history

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

It’s not the US!!! It’s the dumbest president of the United States and the trumpets that don’t know anything about nothing!!!

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

Nice job Trudeau!, I have not always liked what he has done but he is showing that he can stand up for us when we need.

We all lose in this. Can a chapter 11 bankruptcy protection save the US ? probably the US will never go away, but in what state will it end up? I don't get what Trump is doing at all.

America stands with Canada. U fortunately,the next 4 years will be rough,for us all!
