No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

Donald Trump is a curse on the United States. \n*_The worst curse to have befallen the country since its existence_*

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

The Trump Administration is behaving like an agent of Putin to destabilize the USA from within, dragging all democratic countries along with it. Trump acts like a trojan horse, a political cancer.

We are stuck because of tRump please do what you have to do stay strong

Haha how he purposely reduced his vocabulary when directly addressing Trump ?

This is the same Trudeau that flew to Mar-a-Largo to grovel and kneel at Trumps feet. I have complete respect for Canada but not Trudeau. If he had any balls, he would shut down all power to America.

trump is a convicted felon, so of course he would rub elbows with Putin

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

From Romania here: \nwhat a clean and honest speech! Respect for Canada!\nMr. Trump, It is miserable to ally with a criminal. Shame on you! USA is not your company, it's the free world!

Trump should just change the word tariff to carbon tax so Liberals won,t be so upset.

I certainly did NOT vote for tRump, but he went rogue. As an American, I now appreciate Canada more. We DO NOT WANT THIS!

I am canadian, and I hate being the laughing stock of the world, I hope Trump bankrupts canada and we all can be Americans!! You cannot eat pride, and turdeaus idea of helping the people is taking the tax off of booze for a couple months to sedate us,,,

Trump is ruining America and its allies……truly sad and then HE supports Putin who would in a second kill Trump and then brag about it.

Trumps probably upset because Melanie ‘really’ likes him (Trudeau) ?

mi request to the all Americans and Canadians to tariff trump Kiss or Kick. No need to frustrate , digest it. Buy your own country, s goods. Good Luck to Americans papa trump and his policies in the America and broad.

The tariffs make sense when you realize that trump's real goal is to destroy democracy everywhere so he can be a dictator like Putin.

Trump is a mean, sick person. God help the USA. Barbara

If trump thinks for a moment that he and putin can ally against the rest of the world in trade, or in any other way, he's delusional. Putin is NOT trustworthy and will renege on any agreements he makes, that's what he does.

Trump is now in bed with Russia and Canadians will never lower themselves to that level, we know there are some great people in the United States please get your house in order, and return to the good side on the world stage.

Trump is an absolute idiot!!

You were only wrong when you said he was a very smart man. From those of us who did NOT choose Trump, Love to Canada.

????..You tell that MAGA Trump KGB traitor where to go!..

51 state take it easy Trump hussein this is not Kuwait

All these ignorant trump supporters in the comments ? how dumb are you guys

To the American people, your government (especially TRUMP, ELON MUSK and GOP) has chosen to fck you

Canada won the hockey tournament and now the trade war, i feel bad for Trump ;s

If President Trump & Justin Trudeau could overcome their dislike of each other and STOP making this personal we wouldn’t be in this tariff war!!!!

I respect President Putin far more than I do you, Trudeau. As I have zero respect for you, and your leftist ideology. I’m 100% in agreement with President Trump. You’ll soon be gone, so anything you say is moot. Wherever found, leftist propaganda is dead. Finished.

100% TARRIFS ON TESLA WILL STOP MUSK'S SALES IN CANADA ALL THE TESLAS SITTING IN CANADA GATHERING DUST AND NOW MUSK WILL HAVE TO SHIP THEM BACK TO THE U S A AT HIS EXPENSE AND STORE THEM OR HAVE A BLOWOUT SALE BECAUSE OF OVER STOCK!!!!!! THIS WILL REALLY PUT A BIG DENT IN TESLA'S PROJECTED PROFITS!!!!! TRUMP IS FINE WITH MUSK WEARING A TSHIRT IN THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BIG WHITE BOLD LETTERS BUT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ZELENSKY WEARING A WELL FITTED CLEAN OUTFIT TRUMP REALLY THINKS HE'S A GOD BUT IS REALLY AN EVOLVING DICTATOR HAND IN HAND WITH PUTIN WHO OFFICIALLY IS ALREADY A DICTATOR!!!!!!!

I guess Trudeau what to FAFO like Zelensky did. You don't win against Trump. Trudeau is back off like they all do. His country doesn't want or need his stupid ass. Now he's going call OUR PRESIDENT Donald?? Wrong move.

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Trump is playing Checkers while Putin plays Chess

I cannot really understand why Trump is so brutal. He has not long ago become President in USA. He should be just happy and enjoy life and looking forward into the future. Why are you so destructive and cruel to people around the world?\nSharpen up, for Gods sake!?

As a American, the only two languages Trump can speak are Bull and Shit...

Trump and the Republicans desperately want to make the USA the 22nd Republic of the Russian Federation.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

Trump owes Russian Oligarchs for $$$$. That’s why he is beholden to Putin and the Russians. ?

Great TRUMP IS RIGHT.

I voted for trump and this dude has no idea what’s he’s taking about womp womp

Trump has to be seen as a rogue leader and his sucking up to Russia has to pose serious questions for all Americans about his values , integrity and reliability in defending the USA .

Big Talk from a lil man ! Trump real president gonna stand for America First ❤

Please don’t think all Americans agree with trump there are also innocent people feeling the heat here with this dictating administration.

Trump has been using fear mongering rants and exaggerations all along to get supporters to believe it. Biden had more illegals deported than Trump ever did. Biden had record jobs and record low unemployment. Trump's a SOCIOPATH and pathological liar who is now siding with Putin. Trump's Dismantled everything he can to create Chaos and will eventually say the protests require Martial Law. Trump's the Arsonist and the Firefighter. Trump wants Dominance like Putin and Xi Jinping, they're his Heroes. Get a clue and stop the INSANITY.

Bravo Canada. Stand tough against the trump menace.

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Trump isn't smart. 71 IQ, maybe he's an idiot

Trump is ruining the world. Real Americans are ashamed.

Please say Trump, not all of America is with him ,he is our worst nightmare. I am so sorry

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.
