The Hermit Kingdom of America. Trump is making Trudeau sound like a reasonable person. Unbelievable!

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????

Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

Trudeau is a sensible President. As an American, I support Trudeau - NOT dumb Trump

The only thing Trudeau said that is 100% false is that tRump is a smart man. Donald is an idiot.

Trudeau has no bearing on who trump is backing, he isnt backing either of them because he needs zelinsky and putin to both come to a table to talk about the path to stopping this war.

At least Trudeau is offering assistance and breaks for the businesses and citizens that will suffer from this. Trump just basically said we will all suffer and we just have to deal with it.

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

Why is it so difficult for the Canadian government to stop cooperating with the CCP and end all transaction and trade of fentanyl? Why does the Canadian people need to pay the price for the greed and stupidity of this irresponsible government? Which politician is benefiting from the fentanyl deal? When Canadian politicians are in bed long enough with the CCP, they will work for this communist regime and not for the Canadian people. Trump is certainly looking out for the American people, who is Trudeau looking out for?

Canadian here and i was just hoping he wasn't gonna just roll over to Trump and I'm so glad he didn't nor do I understand him claiming we're the ones bringing the fent. I knew that was bulls**t. I'm actually FINALLY quite proud of an action out of this man FINALLY, cuz let's face it Trudeau, ya aint done much positive other than legalizing the weed. But I kinda believe in ya now for growing a set and actually standing up here.

American here.. I don't blame you Mr Trudeau most Americans don't want this either. The Musk Trump Show has to end???????

Trudeau told 1 lie , he called trump smart , he is in fact as dumb as dog shit

Trudeau was, before Trump's second term, deeply unpopular and on his way out.\n\nOnly a numptie like Trump can make Canada's most unpopular PM in decades popular again.

Trump wants trudeau to be gone once he is gone and PP is PM he will immediately take down the tariffs.

So sick of everyone who mindlessly support Trump! The GOP are puppets & cowards, only interested in self preservation! Nice to hear a competent leader speak...great job Trudeau, do NOT back down to Trump!

nice speech trudeau. Resist fasc1sm! resist trump! he should be imprisoned! we are counting on you to protect our jobs & speak up for us & oppose trump!

Well said Trudeau! You are a brave man stands against the dictator, Donald duck Trump. We American need a true leader like you!

I like Trudeau more now! Let’s stop trump

tRump is a liar, greedy, and corrupt idiot. I am considering moving to Canada from South Dakota. I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the USA. I feel like tRUMP and is wife are Russian assets. I have deep respect for Trudeau and his Dad.

Poor Trudeau, he doesn't realize that Trump has the IQ of the sludge I scrape from my taint every morning.

Donald Trump made Trudeau a man. Finally he talks like a man not a woke who insisted to say people kind instead of mankind.

That is a chilling title and amazing speech from Trudeau. Like if you don’t trust Trump.

????? I hope Americans are listening to him. There is no reason for the trade war Trump started and how Americans will suffer financially. Trudeau is correct in this only helps our enemies.. Russia and other countries who want to see us fighting with each other. What Another sad day for America again. Not feeling great.

Trudeau have had enough of Trump???? this is the first time I heard him speak so strongly.

Trudeau is just as much an asshole as Trump but the man is speaking facts here.

Seen from overseas in Europa I can only say that Trudeau's speech is excellent. Canadians can be vrey proud to have a Prime Minister like him. Trump on the other hand is like a kid playing with matches. US americans are not the problem Trump is the problem.

Trudeau is wasting his time, his statement was too complicated for Trump to understand, he should have used flash cards for Donald.

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

Canada just needs to fix the trade deficit with the United States. If Trudeau does, the U.S. tariffs would not happen. Canada has turned a deaf ear when the U.S. requested a fair trading partner and less deficits in the past decades. Trump was obligated to put a tariff on Canadian goods entering the U.S. since Canada did not resolve the problem.

Trudeau is mad because this all happened on his watch.\n\nTrudeau is a fascist rotten dictator himself. And no less a narcissist than Trump, or Putin.

Trudeau is a crook and a terrible politician. I support Trump. We pay way too much for canadian goods.

I live in Maine on the border with Canada and im absolutely ashamed at what trump is doing. Canada is an incredible country and a great ally to the US, and this entire thing that trump is doing is reprehensible. It would be an improvement to have a leader like Trudeau who can actually get a point across.

What Trudeau done to mess up the country danger for US too, especially bring so many terrorist, crimes and dangerous immigrants, best shot for Trump to hurt Canada, otherwise Canada never learn anything

Trudeau has got balls . I hope our Prime Minister Starmer , supports Canada . Trump is a total liar and is a danger to USA and the world .

Trudeau should give Trump English lessons.

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

Isn't Trudeau the same guy who invited a real Ukrainian Nazi WW 2 veteran in his nation? Um yeah. Isn't Trudeau the same guy who wore black face in college? Yes he did it \n Isn't Trudeau the same fascist who stole working class Canadians during COVID bullshit? Yes \n Ok keep it real, Trump's a duchebag like Biden and as a independent voter in America I'm just saying we get the shit sandwich lemmings in both nations voted for or were the only options allowed

US voted an immature pathological liar to be the president. Trump simply slapped tariffs on Trudeau out of personal jealousy.

Trudeau has worked hard the last 10 years to putting us Canadians down the toilet with rising taxes and driving industry out of the country to the US.. Makes me smile seeing Trump give him a good spanking.

trump is talking about migrants from Canada, I think Trudeau will be more worried about migrants from America

Trudeau is scared that’s why he has made this speech. Canada has been manipulated by the European Union and if all of you people from Canada and USA could see the state of the uk and Europe in real life you would listen to trump.

To all Americans, have you seen the different manner between Mr Trudeau and Trump ?

That was very kind of Justin Trudeau to call Donald Trump. A smart man because he is anything but that.

The clown prime minister trudeau sounds like zelensky with his fear mongering feel fear americans. Canada has maid, america under trump is pro life. I fear maid in ??healthcare most.

Lets remember thats its trudeau that take us where we are right now and not trump

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

Trudeau is a POS. Trump Making America Great again.

Trump belittles Zelensky our ally calling him a dictator, saying he started the war three years ago. He belittles our ally Trudeau by calling him governor. This is wrong. I'm sorry Canada. This is no way to treat an ally.

Love how Trudeau called him Donald. Wonder ? how Trump supporters are defending their Messiah now?
