All you had to do was protect the border and lower the many tariffs you have on US goods. Over a million people in the US have died due to fentanyl and the human trafficking. Canada and its bureaucratic masters are realizing that America no longer wants to be part of the new world order and global elite bureaucratic government. The US is 37 trillion in debt we are currently dismantling our own corrupt bureaucracy and ending the Hegemony to focus on America first instead of policing the world for the elites. Canada, Mexico and the EU better adjust because no more handouts are coming we simply can't afford it.

Just for the records...this clown will be no longer prime minister by the end of March...We'll have a conservative prime minister that will seatdown with President Trump and work out a fair deal

Tariffs:\n\nImplemented by goverment.\n\nPaid for by the average Joe.\n\nBenefits big corporations and the tax collector.\n\nWhen both countries put up tariffs the end result is we the consumers end up paying more tax.\n\nTariff is just tax. Whoever supports it is supporting more taxes.

trudeau is a clown, lets see how this ends up

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American I am going to Carson City, Nevada today to protest and I WILL protest until this comes to an end one way or the other. I also will NOT be buying anything unless it is a necessity. This is what I will be doing to help. Please press like if you will be joining me. ??????

We'll see him back here by the end of the week bowing to Trump.

You know we in America don’t need what Canada sells us we can do without your products but we are your biggest consumer and if you do then Canada will suffer and that’s on you make it fair for America . We voted for this and it’s what we want things will go up we know but in the end we will be self contained in America we will be fine we all know we can survive without your goods but you can’t survive without us consuming your goods . Step up or step out pretty simple . How about talk to our president and not to news media talk is cheap work it out with our president he told you what was coming and you had time to make a deal . We in America will be ok but without us Canada will suffer greatly and that’s on you .

This is awesome..?.. fighting with your only friends, allies...jajaja. I would like to hear from a MAGA voice. Do you agree with his policies? What is the end goal?

This trade war has zero justification in reality. It will only end up hurting consumers on both sides of the border and drive the economy into a recession. Trump is NOT a smart man, he just thinks he is. ?

Welcome to the end of the US Hegemony. All of you who cheered for this... welcome to a much more dangerous world.

Will this lead to the end of the IRS? If it does, itis worth it

Beginning of the end for ??Comrade Trump. World affairs is not a business full of ((DEALS)), SLAVA Ukraine???\n?????

This is going to end well for the US ?

i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

trump can be removed from office on charges of treason. He is unfit and his incompetence will be the end of America.

I'm teary ? while watching this.\n DONALD TRUMP Why you're doing this to us all? YOU ARE FULL OF GREED. MAY ALL THE WEALTH YOU WANT COMES WITH YOU 6 FEET UNDER.\n .. We CANADIANS will fight until the end. ?? ? ?? ? ?? ?

Towards the end, I wish that woman would just shut her gob and let us hear Trudeau! We're not here to hear her!

Hello Canada, \nThe Netherlands here (well, one citizen thereof). We love Canada; I speak for all the citizens hereof. Your troops liberated us at the end of WWII. We have not forgotten that. Now, we in Europe are facing Hitlers shadow, in Putin. Join us. Apply to become a member of the EU.

They say all political careers end in failure, Trudeau, given his performance the last couple of months, may you prove that wrong.

The End of an Worldsuperpower.... didnt believe to see it in my lifetime... but this is definetly is the end of US Leadership... irrepairable damage... no trust anymore

Great speech, Mr. Prime Minister! Meanwhile, figures like Trump, Musk and their friends are raking in huge profits, leveraging their influence to e.g. steer stocks in their favor. For them, it's nothing more than a high-stakes reality gamble—at every level. And in the end, it's the American people who will pay the price. Best regards from Germany...

I do hope that Canada, EU and Britain will work together, there is no reason Britain and EU cannot replace America as the main trade partners and I have seen plenty of other videos about other asian countries indicating interest in Canada's trade.\n\nBut this is much more than just tariffs, Trump has really gone off the deepend siding with Russia and undermining Ukraine, even undermining the sanctions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is already trading with Russia, using whatever bizarre pretext he chooses.\n\nThese should already be red flags to Canada, there is a long standing relationship with the UK and Ukraine, but Canada is only reacting on the tariffs, which detracts from what other action they might have taken.\n\nThe imposition of these tariffs should be the straw that breaks the camels back, I hope that if America repeals these tariffs that Canada will still diversify so that they don't ever end up in this situation again.

Trudeau your time is ending nice try on the way out the door. ?

There are a few thousand american military bases around the world. Once you end alliances, they are gone. USAs is gonna have a bad time deploying their troops anywhere outside florida. Its a logistical question. Aint no friends around to solve it either apart from russia. Im just gonna say it America is Russia. Lets put it even better Russia owns america. America is trump wearing a latex harness, and putin is leading him towards the bed to get pissed on by russian prostitutes. ( I love russian prostitutes myself, but they should not be part of politics is all im saying)

Trump is on an isolationist plan of action and America will end up alone in the world with no friends left except for Russia after it betrays every friend in the world. Trump is an agent of Russia doing its bidding.

How does the War end Trudeau, without taking with to Putin. Trudeau needs this fight to remain in power… BS get to the table, not talking potshots at Trump…

Trump is out to destroy America and at the end of his tenor he'll Pardon himself. He does not care about America but himself.

Republicans want to have Russian values now, everyone there is ALL White, Anti-DEI, Christian and submissive to ONE political party, Republicans want dictatorship with Eastern Values not Western, USA will end NATO and Europe allience to be totalitarian like Putin's Russia!

If our adversaries wanted to engineer an end to US world dominance, this and the dismantling of the administrative state would be the same as Trumps playbook. Steve Bannon has talked about this over the years and Stalin predicted it.

As an American, I'm so embarrassed. I stand with you all! Sending ?? the strength to fight and end this war!

Canada, I am so sorry his uneducated voters inflicted him, a sick, unstable felon, on us, you and the rest of the world. I am embarrassed to be Amercian right now. I support your decision. Just do it. I will hang on and suffer thru this. If our economy crashes to end this nightmare, so be it. Please pray for us.

Our PM is right; the end goal is to cripple Canada economically so Trump can take our resources and territory. I am saying Trump intentionally. I know the vast majority of Americans don't want this trade war but if you think Canadians are just gonna lay down and take the abuse, you're high as a fucking kite on your own fumes. We won't got down without a fight and Canadians know how to fight dirty.

I am Canadian. Totally disagree with the tariff war. The personal animosity and pettyness between Trump and Trudeau should not negatively affect folks on both sides of the border. Hopefully this stuff will stop when Trudeau finally leaves the stage at the end of the month.

Trump is not working with Putin. He has tried to get both Russia and the Ukraine to set down and talk and end the war. Trump has been doing this because the US has been taken advantage of all countries. So get your facts straight.

Why did the US not take the approach of EL Salvador to put an end to all drugs? How exactly the tariff will help this problem? We are only going to see an increase in crime with a crushing economy and high inflation.

End of an empire...

We stand with you Canada, do NOT BUCKLE… the orange Felon SLIME that was voted in office by ignorant idiots will go down in flames from all his actions… PLEASE do not negotiate with him, he will go down faster if you don’t!!! We are behind you all the way, and even if we suffer, he will suffer the MOST in the end!!!

I wish all men can go and live on Mars, so that all wars can end

how did america end up this ugly way. And today is a Sad day for America not for canafa, remember that. By the way, this is not what trump want this is Putin really want to defeat America. Please Wake up my dearest American friends .

If only JT had cared about his people for the last several years you may not have ended up in this situation. He screwed up Canada and now everyone is applauding him? Canadians are not polite, they only pretend to be, and then viciously turn and attack. You're all acting like the 30 year old still living in his parents basement that has been asked to pay rent or move out.

Wake up Americans! What’s his end game?

Lol, blistering speech. It was his usual word salad filled with dramatic pauses, over pronounced words and lip tightening in an effort to look all mad and tough. He ends up coming off as pathetic, weak and fake.

So pointless ? Harris warned that this will happen ? so many controversies since Trump 2.0 - this is not going to end well for any of us …? I’m praying for better days for yall ???

Wicked Trump is trying to cripple Canada so they will surrender their territory to him AND Trudeau being welcomed at the Euro Summit over the weekend has angered dearest Divinity Caligula. Things don't end well for tyrants and the enabling sycophants they surround themselves with...history rhymes but it also repeats itself......

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

Hold strong Canada, this will end badly for little donny.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

Both of them stick to their population, at the end of the day who will carry this cost? Both Canadian and Americans bad for both

7:12 it appears there is a typo with the ratio going .06, .08, .01. It should be a .10 instead not sure if it was a typo from the source or on your end

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.
