I hope Trump makes it worse for the Canadians. Canada, Europe; they're gone. If Trump saves us in the US; which I don't believe he can because there are too many stupid Americans. If he does; we will need to look toward east Europe and Russia. After I he west collapses itself these nations will rise due to their unity. China will also rise. The West is going down.

Canada has its Biden . Lets Everyone into the country . Its not about if they are nice or not ... They need DEPORTATIONS, we donot care if even if they speak english , get out of canada , with corrupt Canadian government .This video is made by an imigrant he needs to go also . TRUMP DOES NOT CARE IF MIGRANTS TAKE JOBS , START A BUSINESS, OR SELL DRUGS , HE IS DEPORTING ALL OF THEM . Healing his land ,and canada , while the corrupt Canadian government pays companies to hire migrants over citizens.... IT IS EVIL TO FLOOD CANADA WITH MIGRANTS . IN 2026 the end of it , migrants will out number citizens Stats canada says themselves .

Strange how Canada has finally stepped up to order military equipment, military personal, borders in the North and with USA borders putting more man power and technology. Changed and removed provincial boundaries for trade, liberal party wants to change like the dems in the USA. Leaders should go in and do a good job and not just think about them selves. Maybe Trump has helped in that way even when we don’t want to admit it. Leaders has got away with things for along time.

Trump is doing all these crazy things but he is forgetting one HUGE thing. Canada & many other countries are Allies of America & while he's talking about tariffs & goodness knows what (I did watch his talk in Congress), at least respect your Allies. Trump is sleeping with the enemy & in all my years, I've never seen an American President turn on their Allies like this. He is a dangerous man for all the wrong reasons. I feel badly for the American people whom will be stuck between a rock & a hard place. I feel for the Canadian's whom don't deserve this. Trudeau speaks so genuinely & politely where Trump yells 'this is the way things will be'. \nI don't look forward to the next 4 years & many in my country (Australia) have said they won't even go to America while Trump is in Office. We have always loved Canada. We 'gather at Whistler' then go travel. Great country. Much love from your Aussie mates ❤❤

No one is willing to stand up to Trump in the United States. He has surrounded himself with yes men who pander to his every whim. How can we let this destruction go on for another four years!?

Look at what is happening. Europe is welcoming Canada into their trading block with open arms. Where is the US turning to? Russia. The irony is that Putin hates the West, always has , and he hates the US in particular. I agree with Clark. Trump’s getting played and he doesn’t even know it. He’s got a lot of $$ in Russian banks and is in Putin’s pocket. When are the Dems going to get loud and get rid of this guy? He is definitely compromised.

Tit for Tat , no country is going to take it lying .Mr. Trump stop this insanity...We are ready for your Trade War, from India.

I personally think that Tariffs are not going to be good for US economy long term, i also think that if Trump is too heavy with Canada they might become hostile towards America long term

You are right Justin Trudeau, Donald Trump treats us Canadians just like you do! If you are not freezing bank accounts, you are either deigning an election or hiding behind (your Elon) Jagmeet Singh! Well done for a drama teacher, without experience! \nFYI: You should screw Trump over like we are going to do you at the polls!

Why is he acting like Trump has just nuked Canada and going to invade. I think his negative Trump bias is effecting his judgement and behaviour. Instead of doing a media opportunity to show everyone what a good little leader he is and that Trump is a very bad man. Why not try sit-down and have a rational and pragmatic talk and negotiate new trade relations first, instead trying to cause more up-evil and resentment.

I try to understand the mind set of the Democrats , I truly try.\nWhat is it they believe? Why do Democrats support the perversion of sexuality? Why do Democrats support the ending of the unborn? Why do Democrats support war? Why do Democrats support wasting the hard earned money of American citizens on foreigners? Why do Democrats support the stealing of American taxpayers money for personal gain? Why do Democrats believe they are the embodiment all that is good? Why do Democrats believe that President Trump is not working for the benefit of Americans? Why do Democrats believe letting criminals into America is a good thing? I could go on. Please help me understand.

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Oh how he Loves the righteous Drama. He is really going to make all the best he can out of this. Awwwww Yes Pleaaase more Dramaaa Ohhĥhhhhh ?\nBefore saying how trump is evil blablabla as a fact without actually explaining anything. Why don't you, Trudeau, start by explaining. Maybe you don't want people to Actually understand anything. You just want to make the best of out the potential drama and self endulge in the ego feeding and self righteousness.

I'm from Germany. I never expected a businessman to be so foolish as to impose such tariffs, while the US - Economy Minister claims that the tariff doesn't affect inflation. Even Habeck would be smarter than that nonsense. Go hard, Canada—don't be fooled by a clown in a suit (Trump)

CNN is covering this because Trump told them that their figures are going down!

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

You think inflation has been bad since Day 1 of the COVID Pandemic? You think grocery & other costs are unbelievably high now! Trump is going to make it worse. \n\nHe's going to ruin our economy just like his response with COVID.

Common Trump!Let’s do Russian & US & Chinese alliance! Let's go to these Europeans, they're free-eaters and don't represent themselves anymore?

Thought Trump was going to do good for the us/ the western world. But he has literally lost it now.

USA has now been renamed to dumfukistan. Trump will go down as the dumbest dictator in history

We in Australia are waiting for our turn to receive tariffs. They have been spoken about.\n\nI guess if the US does include us, we could always ask the Yanks to vacate Pine Gap intelligence base, maybe remove the Marines from Darwin and stop their submarine communications from north west Australia. Things that weaken their reach in the Pacific. I bet if we all told them to pack up and go home and weaken their world reach, Trump would stop this.

You guys in the US need to understand Vance is as dangerous as Trump. At the 2024 election almost 90 million eligible voters sat on their backsides at home instead of voting. As a Briit and on behalf of the planet, I implore those people to get out next time and vote this MAGA scum out of the WhiteHouse. It's not going to stop when Trump goes. Keep that mind people. PLEASE!

I love this speech even American are in shock because this is not what they expected from President Trump, and Trudeau just concluded it all it was the dumpiest thing Donald did and this will affect American harshly...Donald is chasing ghost and he might be the one who is going to bring prophecies to past.

You Go Trudeau. Well done. Donald is an idiot. Trump is clearly being manipulated by Putin and He's not smart enough to figure it out. I think Putin has something on Trump like a legal issue or something to do with money. Just a quick Question for the people who voted for Trump. Are you still happy with your decision voting for Trump? We have to push Trump out of the White House and in to a prison cell.

the irony of tariffs is that they devalue the profitability.\nSecond if the POTUS or VP EVER attempt to enter Canada, it is NOT going to go well for the President etc.\nThe Trump and Vance are persona non grata

Canada had a 20% tariff already imposed before trump for a very long time, we just matched it. Now hes upset, and throwing a fit bc we're not going to be sending subsides on top of the tariff. He will not be able to sustain this tantrum. Just this speech alone is so fake and scripted. Hes a puppet.

Well done Canada! We love and support you! We had to go through a virus pandemic, a War, and now a trade war, what madman would do such a horrible thing for the people around the world?! There’s no peace as long as the political system stays the same! Horrible! This is what Russia and China want all along ! They wanted everyone to go against the US! Trump has shot himself and his policies on the foot and it will be dire for the US in the long run! OMG

Trump is a smart guy? What? like what ?..Mr priminister i got news for you. Smart and Trump doesn't go together.. The words that goes with Trump is crook criminal racist thief white nationalist and white supremacist. \nCrumbling of the west as began.

Trump is puppet dog of the murder and dictator Putin, and Vance is the dog of Trump. God bless they go to hell.

We'll see how long you will last Trudeau ! GO TRUMP !

As an Irishman living in England, I stand with Ukraine and Canada. I wish our own primeminister was as upstanding as Canadas. Trump and his lapdog Vance need to go.

go trump

Probably, the best course of action... Buy the dip... Maybe if you have some cash aside, you should ponder on how bad this gets. But at one point, something will give, and things will go back up. White house mutiny? What I do know is that at one point something will give... The pushback is inevitable. And the Vilan is the man who is trying to change everything without any proper thought at all. If your actions do not make sense, Mr. Trump, than they are a facade; and that is wrong. Pulling the woole over your citizens' eyes is not democracy...

He is shitting himself. Trump isn't going to listen to your pleas.

Great speech! But I think the Canadians are overreacting a bit. Reciprocate the tariffs and go on with your lives. As for Trump’s reason why, it will probably be obvious when the new tax dollars begin overflowing your accounts.

Great speech. Nothing that Trump is doing makes sense. It’s not like his voters didn’t know the mess that he was going to generate. He has never been fit for office and it has been obvious for half of Americans for 8 years.

The title is misleading. I thought he actually went to the USA and confronted Trump in person, but apparently not. This doesn’t really count. Come on, Trudeau! Go face Trump! Anyone can give a speech nowadays it seems. it takes a real leader to confront him. At least Macron, Starmer and Zelensky had balls to face trump.

Go Mexico!!!!\n\n\nAlso I hope EU will join!!! This will show Trump he can’t win!!! Unless his plan is to suck Russia pipes to get energy…

Trump always takes an ‘extreme’ position first when he negotiates. Here we go again and hey presto he’s got his way again! Canada should suspend border checks and threaten to let everything through to the US

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

We dont want this either...Trump is a cunt with no refernce point to reality for the working people...he's gotta go! This trust fund fool does not represent the US people... he's horrific. Period. Apologies in advance to ALL COUNTRIES this horrific male (TRUMP) will inevitably insult. WE LOVE YOU BACK!! SO SORRY HE EXISTS...clearly he thinks he's looking for rating at all times...ugh

Hi frim Montreal trump saying canada is taking advantage of usa. Did he forget about the American hostages we saved in Iran, did he forget how canada stepped in during 911, tajing thousands of Americans who could not land in usa but were rerouted to eastern canada, did he forget how canadians and americans fought side by side during several wars. In my opinion not only dod he forget, but he is an insulting human being not fit to be behind the oval office but instead be behind bars as the CRIMAL that he is. God bless America you are going to need it.

Go Canada! I’m a native New Yorker who hates Trump! Victory to Ukraine!

Trump is definitely not a chess player… ahaha.\nHe's dismantling the U.S. in the long run, tearing apart 80 years of dominance.\nI feel sad for your country, sad for mine (France), and not exactly thrilled that he’s empowering China and Russia.\n\nWhat do you think will happen?\n\n- Europe strengthens its military.\n- Europe reindustrializes.\n- No country can rely on the U.S. anymore—whether it's poorer nations dependent on American aid or wealthy ones like those in Europe.\nThe outcome is clear: the U.S. is bleeding soft power. For about five years, it will appear stronger than ever. But once other countries adapt (which will take roughly five years), they’ll all tell the U.S. to *** off.\n\nNo more need for its military power. No more reliance on its natural resources. No more dependence on American industry.\n\nThe worst part? The world will shift its trust toward Europe, China and Russia. The U.S. will remain the richest and most powerful country, but it will no longer hold the monopoly it enjoys today. It is going to be heavily contested. Please enjoy the current situation. This is purely temporary.\n\nMark my words!

Last year, all of forty-three pounds, 43lbs, of fentanyl was smuggled across the border from Canada into the US. That's the tidal wave Trump is destroying the American economy for. Even with my bad knee I could pick that up and go hiking.

Canadians are Fvcked**. everything in their country before is expensive now its going to be more. US can absorb this tariffs and feel it after 5-10 years but canadians will feel it on day 1. while trump slowly lifting sanctions and trade again with china and rusia. EU and canada will have no choice but to stay in status quo becoz of their anti dictatorship and liberal position. US is very smart.

This is not going to end well. \n\nThe former NATO Supreme Commander tells it like it will be.\n\nThe USA has already lost massively as Trump does not understand the sound and mostly reasonable US imperial Security Strategy, and i say this as a non US citizen.\n\nI still do not hate the American people, but Trump has given every anti America voice exactly what they needed, big incidents painting to paint them as most evil.\nTrump got played so hard by Putin it is not funny anymore, Putin is the bear and Trump the screaming goose, free meal for the bear.

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?
