This guy is an authoritarian. He may speak well, But we remember when he froze Canadian bank accounts. Canada has been taking advantage of America for too long.

Well well Justy, what don’t you do not understand about Canada to stop drugs being allowed to enter across the Canada US border???

Well idk my market is going up very nice today. Also we can make every Canadian goods at home so that there is no weight to his words in my eyes. I do say if Canada is doing all these measures though it would be nice to come to an agreement with Canada. To be friends with neighbors is always better than not being friends. So overall I'm kinda torn between it all. We don't need Canada to be honest but just because we don't need them does not mean we should not work with them. Very tuff situation at this moment.

Well well Justy, what don’t you do not understand about Canada to stop drugs being allowed to enter across the Canada US border???

This is how a Countries Prime minister acts and talks something Donald Trump could learn from. Well done, Canada and well done to the Canadian people.

As an American, we are friends of Canada. I am sorry the tariffs will harm both sides. It is a dumb thing to do. We repect your need to defend your interests. Mr Trudeau well spoken.

Haha suck it up. Canada has always had tariffs on USA. 270% on milk is just one example, and well over 100% on other products. Now they act like we are the bad guys? Why didn’t he lower canadas tariffs on USA?

The worst part about this is - Canada has the population of like the state of California - we might as well be a state

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

Well, I’m with you Canada, unfortunately many brain dead Americans voted this orange traitor into office for the next four years and now we’re stuck with him. ??‍♀️????

Trudeau now you're talking about the well-being of people in Canada what about when we had that thing where everybody had to get the shots you know the new normal since when do you care about the people in Canada?

I stand with Canadian people as well but Trudeau is a pile of shit dictator and has absolutely no regard or respect for his nationnor anyone else's. He inky cares for his $20k lunch in his private jet flying to his penthouse suite in NYC to talk to other dictator tyrants from NY. Sorry Canada but yall been using us for way too long and we're tired of it.

As a Brit I fully support Canada. USA, you started all this by electing Trump and Vance. Trump and Vance will hurt both the USA and the rest of the western world, they will help Russia and trumps other friendly dictators. Well spoken PM Trudeau.

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.

Trump and Putin both want and need Canada for the simple reason of the Arctic melts. Ships can now travel that pass. Trump is known, and I'm surprised the media doesn't bring it up, to have financial ties to Russia as an American citizen even well before 2016. What kind of blackmail from Russia would make Trump totally sell out his country.

I can't actually believe I stood up cheering and clapping. Well done Canada, I'm so proud of you. ????\nAs a Brit, I stand with Canada ?? ??

Well done Canada , Australia is with you!!!! Hear this man, this Leader, accurate, strong & truthful! Not a hysterical Fool, criminal and his cult of MAGA, dribbling nonsense lies. And sucking up to a murderous regime , in Moscow! I bet Fox news, will hate Canadas leaders, but they live off hate and lies! And care for no one except Billionaires!

Well done CANADA well done Trudeau. The west needs to solidify with you .

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I am proud of you. Well said. We stand together with you for Canada.

Securing our boarders north as well as south . China military coming into Canada as well as drugs crossing our boarder from the north ? US promised Russia that NATO would not enter Ukraine . There is more to this story than the spin that Trudeau and CNN is presenting . Stop funding this war . Stop the killing . Stop laundering our tax dollars .

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!!!!?

Well done Canada. Don`t ever be bullied by people like Trump .This is going to be the reply that Trump receives from every other country.America need to get up off their backsides and get rid of Trump and Musk.

With these tariffs and lack of diplomacy with Ukraine we will probably see US Companies start moving to Canada, as well as foreign partners of US switching to Canada. Trump is too chaotic and disruptive, which is awful for any company wanting to grow in the US.

Well done CANADA ! If US does it then go for it.

This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

Well done Canada ??. It is time to stand up to bullies and unite with true allies that respect you and treat you with dignity. We seem to be dealing with a deranged madman who should be seeking proper medical treatment in a special medical facility, not ranting and raving in the Oval Office. Call it treason, corruption, greed, weakness, mental instability, cognitive decline, bullying, aggression, spitefulness, vengeance - the only person who should be considering resigning is the out-of-his-depth overpromising & under deliverer convicted sexual felon in the Oval Office who is p!ssing into the tent not out of it, with regards to your old allies.

Canada? Welcome to Europe. \nWe have your back.\nWe are half a billion, well educated, highly motivated, logical, mature European citizens with a vast combined armed forces. \nTurn around and face East. We are looking right back at 'Ya.

Europeans who considered a holiday in the US, should go to Canada instead. Well done Canada.

Wait a second, just a few weeks ago CNN was saying that Canada had outfoxed the US/Trump and they were not doing anything more than what they had decided to do well before Trump's election when it comes to stopping illegal immigration and the transport of fentanyl into the US? Now they are trying to convince us that Canada is very understanding and accommodating of US needs and is doing a lot!!!! Fake News Network! True Americans should stand with United States of America and not Canada. LOL

I 73YO. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE USA HAD A TRUE LEADER WHO WAS WELL SPOKEN AND NOT A TOTAL MORON. GOD BE WITH YOU CANADA. AND GOD HELP US.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

Well spoken Trudeau!! Europe stands with Canada all the way!

Well done Trudeau speaking for your country Canada just the same as President Zelensky is speaking up for his country and people ❤

Well done Canada ?? fuck trumpet Trump ? and I don't mean the American people just that appeasing putin loving traitor.

How much money does America give to Canada already. You are a dictator and need to step out of the way and let someone else who is really interested in the well being of the Canadian people and not his own interests.

From Ireland Well done we need all our leaders world wide to stand up to donald trump .\nI wish Canada well .

The felon against the world, this won’t end well for the US. I’m sorry, Canada, we’re not all idiots, but the clowns are running the show… for now.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Well done Canada.

Dont believe this well written soeech. This clown says one thing then does another, he’s full of shit…..he’s purposely trying to sink Canada…..he’s ? WEF

Well done Justin … I have say that you have done Canada proud on the handling of this treacherous betrayal by the hateful, ignorant monster south of the border. \n\nThank you

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!

I stand with Canada and if the USA now thinks it’ll find better friends than Canada and the UK, well, good luck with that… ???????

Canada runs its country so well that companies are lined up to come here, start new factories, and employ new people. \nNo, they are running away for lower taxes, lower gas and diesel, lower regulations, and a chance to start new businesses without the hassle that might as well be years before they get a permit.

Well done Mr. Trudeau, he is no longer Prime Minister of Canada. He can express his thoughts openly and honestly. Without harming relations between our countries, he can put diplomacy aside, while expressing himself in a respectful manner. Ukrainians must fight against an invader and put their lives in danger. Our invader is purely economic. Let us hope that all Canadians will show as much determination and respect for moral principles. Not to bow to a lawless mentality.

Well done Canada. Id love to see Canada join the EU trading block. Free trade for all. Fuck Trump

Brit here!! Well done Canada! We stand with you ??.\nBrilliant speech. Straight to the point, and honest.\nWe dont align ourselves with dictators and enemies! \n?? ?????????

Well done, Canada!!!

Well, from a European perspective, Trump is making the US if not an enemy (yet, anyway), surely not an ally or a friend, as you used to be.\nLots of European contracts will be lost - European countries will rely more on each other and Canada, Australia and other countries that we know we can still trust.\nAnd European consumers will move from American products and companies, especially anything Musk related, because people are really bothered and upset here, how easily an erratic madman can take a democratic country into an oppressive, destructive country.\nWe have no issues with the American people, apart from that you voluntarily brought this upon yourselves (and us), although it was screamingly obvious already in 2016.\nAnd you did it twice...
