Magas dont understand that THEY are paying the tarrifs..

No one wins in Tariffs, its a tit for tat. Trump fail to understand his bully boy tactics only work on the vurnable. Countries dont pay this tax consumers do. Tariffs hurt the consumers with high prices and people jobs. US is alienating themselves and there allies will turn away towards other friendlier nations.

Actually the convicted felon is not smart. At 12:01 he showed the world how stupid he really is. he should burn his s**tty book, the fart of the steal, and seek advice from someone with a brain that understands economics. undoubtedly the idiot doesn't understand that he loses also. And the clown rages on.

Suddenly you are true friends???? True friend understand NOT to take advantages from each other. According to President Trump, the US s-called friends did exactly the opposite, you all are taking BIG advantages from the US, in other words, you so-called friends have been leeching out from the US for decades. Now comes a president that want to make the records straight, now you have been crying like baby. Trudeau, normally I do NOT give fascist/Nazi lovers a good advice, but I will make an exception, did you call President Donal Trump DUMB??? Don't you think that is TOTALLY disrespectful??????

It is so amusing that bots have been employed in full force to ensure all the comments are giving a shoulder to the PM to cry on. He at least finds himself useful after attacking mindlessly countries in the world whose security he has no business endangering .\n\nPOTUS is doing what is best for his country and his steps are revolutionary and will cause some pain in the beginning but the population at large should exercise patience and understand he is the only who can get them out of the abyss and also ensure all the people exploiting Usa for their wealth and support don’t do so \n\nPeople have been using USA to their advantage and here is a man who makes sense with his strategy \n\nThis PM speaks as if his tariffs are going to shake up supplies to USA \nHe seems to be living in a dream . Anyway he is going to be out soon \n\nAmericans hang out with POtUs . He is tough less tactful and polite but he means business

Let's trade with China that's the only way Trump understands other than boobs

Most Educated and Informed Americans understand whats going on and dont blame Canada. Please bare with US while we go thru this turbulent time. Hopefully we will be reunited in REAL friendship again.

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Very good clear view and good speech Not only the Canadians are unclear as to what Trump is up to or does he understand how businesses work a completely silly decision

Prime Minister Trudeau, as an American, I understand and support what you're doing because we are being held hostage by walking talking malfeasance in the white house. I did not vote for that man and under eternal lifetimes would never vote for that man nor the people that support him. \n\nI don't want to suffer and I don't want others to suffer but there is no recourse with the current occupant of the White House.

You keep saying this doesn’t make sense. If you understand DJT, this makes perfect sense. The dude is a moron and a child.

I understand Canadians' support of Trudeau has waned over the years, but I must say he is a very charismatic speaker.

Look at that, common sense. Trump won't understand that.

As a Japanese objectively viewing, in everything, economy and security Canada relies on the US nevertheless Canada doesn't respect it, I understand why Trump is angry

As a Marine Corps Veteran, a die hard patriot to the USA, and as a Trump Supporter; I do not support this. We shouldn't Impose tariffs on one of our closest allies. It should also be stated I'm not a fan of Trudeau at all, but I commend him for helping out with the fentanyl situation. Also I don't like how Trump is Siding with Russia. However I do understand his stance on not wanting to continue to send Money to Ukraine to keep the war going on longer, As we have sent them Billions of Dollars in the last three years. However as a US citizen I also have to state the the US has a history of supporting countries that were invaded in the past, which we have done up to this point in Ukraine. Correct me if I'm Wrong, but when have we just stopped supporting the invaded country and sided with the Invading country?

As a Constitutional American I understand what you are having to do for the good of your country. You are blessed to have a government that thinks of its people first and not as expendable. I support everything you are doing because it is best for your good country. I pray it somehow becomes what is also best in knocking sense into the puppet master and his court Jester.\nWe as Americans are going to have to do MORE to protect ourselves and OUR constitution!??

This was an impressive speech and chilling to the bone. People should understand the undertone that this already is the first stage of a war. America is not talking friendly anymore to Europe or Canada, the alliance is questionable now at best, treaties don't matter anymore and the US government openly supports and defends totalitarian regimes like in Russia. It's a dangerous path that has a point of no return somewhere along the way. It is absolutely the time to be very worried and alert.

As an American, let me say that I totally understand your need to do this. There are MANY of us that Do NOT stand with dictator Trump. ?

Between criminals they understand each other perfectly that's why trump loves Putin. They're both criminals

Not all of America. Do what you need to. Some of us Americans stand behind. We understand. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The announcer here says that Canadians will suffer but many Americans will too. She is not understanding that Americans are going to suffer far more from this than Canadians. According to the economists Canadians may actually benefit.

The US is a country with a majority of idiots that elected Donald twice. \nDon't your understand you can't bully the world anymore?

Please understand that not all American people support trump. Not all of us support Russia. ALOT of us support Canada and Ukraine!!!!

Thank you PM Trudeau. I understand and respect your response. ELBOWS UP!!!!!\n❤American for Canada!

It's really important that Canada and the rest of the world understand only a slight majority supports Queen Trump and King Musk there's a huge chunk of the country a little less than half that does not agree nor support that imbecile

I don't think he understands that he just screwed over every Canadian by increasing the price of everything coming into Canada. Somehow he thinks that's going to hurt Americans ???

Good speach! Unfortunately Trump will mumble something that nodody understands or speaks about something else for an answer and his maga baboons say hallelujah and nothing changes, but only goes to more crazy.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

Imagine how bad things must be that Trump made me side with Trudeau. I really hope you americans understand the damage your „president“ is causing and will cause to the world. That goes for your lapdog vicepresident too.

The trumpers won't understand until it hits their wallets. The pain must be felt for half of the US to wake up.

He used too many big words when speaking directly to Donny. He won't understand half of them

I still can't understand why so many continue to support the compulsive liar that is in control of the US. Why? Why? How in this world was he elected?

This is a sad day for Canadians our ally and friend has stabbed us in the back to take our country. Canadians are heart broken that this has happened. We do not understand why. I have always felt welcome travelling to the US and celebrate our shared values. It is in comprehensible that the US warms to Putin and turns its back on allies.

I have no doubt the MAGA morons will never understand that it's the scumbag trumps fault for problems tariffs will create.

We fully understand Trudeau ❤

6:57 : The switch to simple easy to understand English once he talks to 'Donald' was ??!! Much ❤️

Canada: please understand some of us are so sorry.

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ?? I will alaway defend those who are innocent those who are being bullied by a bullies and I will always fight against a coward to thinks having more pals to bully with aren’t your friends just afraid they will be the next bullies that’s elementary play ground crap every school has that going on from K THUR 5

It all makes sense if one realizes that trump is a russian asset by the name Krasnov. \nPrime Minister Trudeau, I hold no ill will against you, your beautiful country or country men/women. We, the reasonable Americans, understand that you must do what you have to.

Curious to see how long will take for maga morons to understand tariffs are actually bad for them...

I don't think Trump or his followers have the language skills or attention span to understand this.\nThe rest of the Western countries on the other hand want us all to unite and work together. Ignoring the USA and it's implosion. Join the EU guys it'll be fantastic for both of us

I know why the Canadians are so upset with us and I understand it, I hate it, these are completely backward moves. This is about trump consolidating control of our country.

Unfortunately American people don’t understand that, because most of them are uneducated and don’t understand how wars are stopped and how allies are treated…

As an American who actually cares about my country and understands what’s been going on and not letting the media lead me around by my emotions, I stand with Trump.

As an American we understand why you are doing this. We strand with our allies even when our government doesn't.

I feel like to be a Canadian this time, what a leader wow..\n\nIf US lost its alliance... Puttin will finished Us for his breakfast \n\nAmerica will be great again only after Trump understand tha roles and importance of alliance

Can someone help me understand...what is Trump's strategy (long or short term) with these tariffs?

Trust me I believe you ? ♥️. I understand what you need to do. This is going to be painful for everyone.♥️

Mr Trudeau must understand, the majority of Americans voted to financially destroy Canada and then seizevit by military force for two simple reasons, 1) Natural Resources and 2) so United Healthcare can privatize healthcare and exorbitantly charge every single former Canadian outrageous health insurance fees, then deny services.

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.
