There is something more sinister at play here. There is no way the US can justify these tariffs based on border controls. Surely his strategy has another motive. Are they just trying to crash the markets?? Has Putin asked him to do this?

The Bots are Strong on this channel. An American Here, lol are you sure?

Trudeau sure hasn't been acting like a friend. Now all of a sudden he's are best friend? That's nonsense. He's a mooch and he's mad that the gravy train is over.\nGo Trump... America First ??

I am sure Trudeau had to cross his fingers as he said Trump was smart ?????

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

Oh,.... I'm sure Trump is shaking in his boots \n???????\n?????

Is Trump really smart? Not sure why Mr. Trudeau felt like calling him smart ?

If trump has ambitious it gonna be devastation, im sure trump lately has saw for the first time the global map and realise what can the mighty force annexe, he start already thinking like dictator.

Canada wins every hockey ? game so i am sure you guys will win the tarrif war . Love from New York ❤

What's that sound? Canadians walking away from the table. You don't want our aluminum? No problem, we have others lining up. As your factories grind to a halt, we'll just ship our excess to the EU, China and others. We have the goods. Will it be a pain? Sure, but we should be done with the den of thieves and charlatans occupying the white house.

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.

Am I dreaming or do we leave on a parallel world\nIt was not long ago I watched the handmaids tale I’m sure I saw jd Vance in there\nWhere is the USA going I am fed up with narcissists ruling our world they popping up everywhere and trump is the worst\nNow I did think that trump may have been the answer to peace not with Elon musk and jd Vance at the helm the real power trump on Friday looked week an old man losing his temper while the son Vance winding him up\nHe should have shut Vance down abit like the godfather with his son\nThe back lash shows that weather we like it or not live in a global world not a war one but an economical one\nSo where do we go well putin is the enemy to his own people I bet if you went round the world and asked young people families do they want to fight no of course not they wake up on morning go to work believe there god have good times where they can they just want fair governments to protect there interests Donald you have got this wrong big time

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

the allies must stop sharing top secrets with the us , surely president traitor is handing it over to putin .

As an American, I’m sure I’m not alone in this sentiment, I am absolutely terrified, only 6 weeks in. God help us all

I'm a canadian who usually agrees with Trump but in this case I feel like this makes no sense. Not sure exactly why Trump is doing all of this but deteriorating relations between us and impacting our economies in such a way makes no sense to me. The stock market is plummeting, jobs on both sides are at risk, prices on both sides of the border will go up. Btw my job won't be affected by these tariffs so i'm not speaking out of anger or fear for my job.

How is it possible that Americans can't see that the only countries in the WORLD who approve of a single of trump's choices are Hungary, turkey and Russia. Surely that's not the company you want to keep?

As an American, I'm not sure why Trump is doing this. I can see with Mexico there is a big problem but with Canada I just don't see it. I think Trump may have bit off a little bit more than he can chew.

Pretty sure the last period of this much US-CN tension was 1812

Does anyone really believe him, fighting for he's people really?? Guess he forgets easy but I'm sure the people don't forget.

not sure about the smart guy comment

Make sure you thank people you know who voted for Trump for this.

Not sure why he’s mad at the tariffs if it’s reciprocal. Unless of course, Canada will be losing more money because they export more.\nAlso not sure why he’s crying to the US citizens and our economy instead of his own.

Remember that the guy is convected felon. Sure he will praise dictator. Now Canada and Mexico know how they are dealing with. He and his crony isn't your or free world friend and he never will be.

I'm trying to pick which idiotic thing this moronic president has done is the worst. The Tariffs. The Ukraine/Russia war. The Gaza handling. The Covid handling., or all of the above. I'm sure I'm missing something, but those should suffice..I'm American, and I STRONGLY stand with Canada! ..Oh! Mass deportations! How could I forget?!

From Kenya I stand with Canada❤❤\nTrump is Putin's puppet!\nAre you sure Trump is mentally stable. His decision making process is questionable.\n\nI stand with Ukraine❤️?

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

Our leader, our future, proud of both, we better stick together on this, not so sure the next pm will carry the fag,

The only one thing Trump is around for is to make everybody else his minions, that is what he works for to get his kicks from - all the Trump willie show is about that and that is his only card. He doesn't do politics or economics or any of that. He does his 'You Have To Be Minions' willie show, and he does fall out of his pants when people can't be tricked. - That is the one red line he can be identified for. Sure, there is danger as long as the citizens in the U.S. haven't got rid of this cancer cell. It is the modern Adolf Hitler. So make sure to get past him in the shortest time possible - with the smallest damage caused - by any chance. Observation and criticism towards this fascistoid psychopath is surely unavoidable, but it is also what he wants us to do: to spend all our time and attention on him. So let's focus most of our time and effort on building and strengthening what we know that needs to be there instead of this fascist. Improving Unity amongst us. And never bowing to any of the global bullies and fascists. People who can't build on their own turf, communicate their points in a civilised manner, but need to get physically violent instead, militarily, economically, institutionally, at the cost of other people's lives - are not on our agenda. // We will not bow to bully threats - not in our small worlds, and not globally either.

No problem with Canadians. Not sure why they put up with Trudeau. It took this to get him to take action on the border, and from what I understand the Canadian accounting is flawed. E.g. one percent of ten percent surveilled is not impressive, when 90 percent are crossing freely.

and tarrifs for agriculture products will be another hit to us families. I am not from.usa but i am not sure if there is any place in usa where grows coffee, bananas, rice etc.?

Australia and I am sure the other 1.2 billion people of the commonwealth stands with Canada

Betrayal sure sucks, Yes or No ?

T’s tariffs are purely greed driven . He even said he would have a special agency to collect all the $$$$ from the tariffs - one he controls I’m sure

Never been less proud to be an American. Hopefully we have hit rock bottom, but I am pretty sure Trump and cronies are not done raping and pillaging the country.

With an economy smaller than California by a long shot(Canada 2.3 trillion vs CA 3.9 trillion), I'm not sure what this is really going to do on paper...this is a negotiation...be patient...time to buy in the market when the prices are down...

Then make sure the border is secure. If he asks trump what can we do then he should respond with a clean border. Should be super easy for Canada to do.

I hope that Europe UK Australia Canada and the rest of the free world does whatever it takes to counter Russia and West Russia (Previously known as USA) and I'm entirely sure that even tho UK is biggest US ally both UK and Australia will support Canada as it is part of the common wealth

TRUDEAU SURE CAN TALK.....

Sure he talks to the American people directly but did not say how the ppl can fix it (before bad stuff happens).

Not just Canada are holding the ground against the bullying of the Trump government, also Mexico, China and European countries are holding their grounds. The US, you are big for sure, but now you have only one friend: Putin.

when kgb has their president on duty in usa… he makes sure to destroy usa. But people deserve their governments, how to learn otherwise… from books? ?

Just let me know what products that is Justin. So i can be sure not to buy ever again.

I'm sure Trudeau knows Trump is NOT smart at all!! But he was trying to be polite and say Trump was only being dumb in this particular circumstance.

As Canadian, I crying when I read all the comments! I am not sure why?

It’s not Canada. ITS you buddy . Once you finally leave. I’m sure Canada will be ok.??

Holland will for sure support Canada!! I think there is a great opportunity for Canada to focus more on mutual trade with the EU. You will find smart people around the table in Brussels and in our nations. Stay strong Canadians!!

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
