The media sides with anybody who criticises Trump, the president knows what hes doing, look at what the chinese did to our granite construction products, dump cheap crap to put our ppl out of business, Canada does this as well, you have to explore things between the lines, why is Trudeau spreading fear if this wasnt going to benefit our country?

You need to speak to our president Donald J. Trump , Trudeau , we the people could care less about what a soci a list leader like yiu has to say...

Trudeau you are a fool, Trump made this decision due to that... Putin is an amazing leader and big up to him

Dá-lhe, Trudeau! Acabe com a prepotência, arrogância e falta de respeito desses 3 sujeitos: Trump, seu vice e Musk! Fora!

If Trudeau is the governor of Canada..trump is the devil in the u.s.

Trudeau is intelligent and well spoken and cares about his country. Trump cares only about himself and his image. And Putin. Our country is in trouble.

I think Trudeau is the only one fighting. Trump standing on business

Trudeau is an idiot if he thinks Trump will back down. Did you know that Canada implemented 250% tariffs on Dairy products a few years ago? So, it's no wonder that Trump issued these tariffs. Go Trump.

Thanks to Trudeau ?? for handling American counterparts well! Trump doesn’t know how to run his country and hurting other countries!

I’m an American and Trudeau you have my support in standing up to Trump and his regime.

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

Brave! Proud of you PM Trudeau and the rest of our Canadian leaders for standing up to Trump

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

But why did the president have to light a fire under Trudeau to keep our border more safe? As much as I hate trump for every thing else, this trade war is a warning for canadian govt to wake up and be more self reliant and add more trading partners

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

Mr.Trudeau is a real inteligent person who remains very calm in such difficult conditions caused by Donald Trump ‼️\nI appreciate and admire Mr Trudeau how he responded to his friend neighbour Donald Trump ‼️\n God bless Canada and his Prime Minister Trudeau with best wishes from Germany ‼️??????✌️??

Trudeau is right... Trump should be working with Canada... Trump should be working alongside Canada.... And Trump MUST make Canada the 51st state, to ensure this companionship. Together we shall be one!

Please, Mr. Trudeau, please say that Donald Trump is the culprit, not America in its entirety. We are protesting the takeover of our country and will not cease trying to get rid of this administration that has hijacked our country. We too want to work with you and will support your actions as best we can. Your strong speech shows which country has a leader to follow. Thank you.

As an American, all I need to know is that trump and VD vance support Vladimir Shitin and Russia. trump chose to break the trade treaty that HE signed and stated recently that it must have been made by a very STUPID President. I couldn't agree more! And Mr. Trudeau, there is one thing with which we disagree. I think trump is a VERY stupid person!

I could not be more assured,as a Canadian, by the great unscripted,direct speech our leader,Prime Minister Trudeau, has delivered to Canadians and Americans. Everyday people will hurt through this and remember, it will not affect the oligarchy Trump has created, because they can withstand downturns in economies through wealth. His goal is to crush the Canadian economy in the guise of creating better paying jobs for American. Complete unhinged fallacy.

The Trudeau Liberals are loving this trade war. For 9 years they have been working hard to destroy Canada and now they have Trump helping out.

Can we trade Trump for Trudeau. We'll also throw in Lindsey Graham, MTG, Boebert, Ted Cruz, and Hawley and three cases of red wine from California.

please could every politician behave like Trudeau? I am so sick of Trump and his followers all over the world...

Trudeau is not telling all. He is being elloquant as he goes thru a political meltdown, reason for why he has resigned. \n\nIf Trump made the decision he will back it up.

Trudeau has more class, empathy, intelligence and kindness in his baby toe nail than trump and vance put together. Wish he was our President.

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

I'm sure Trump could care less what Trudeau thinks or says.

Trudeau is a total shitbag disgrace of a governor!? Canada needs the USA more then we need them! Without the USA Canada will fail and we can annex them! So keep going! AMERICA AND AMERICANS FIRST! ??? GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND HIS GREAT ADMINISTRATION!???MAGA! ???????????????

I still believe that Trudeau would be the best person to expose the trump north canadian running for pm. He said that he is not Maga but that is what he would say. Why would he admit that. He wants your vote. But we should take our example from the US. Beware beware. Thanks Justin.

From The Netherlands: Bravo to you Trudeau! And to you Canadians. We’re on your side. ?????✌️… I can’t believe what is going on with the USA and how that monsters Trump can do such a thing, and why?!? And how does democracy works in the US; did he get a majority of votes for starting this war?!? It’s disgusting (and the start of WW3? I’m scared as hell).

Trudeau govt. Is failed to maintain \nRelationship with USA .\nCanada need mature P.M.\nI respect bond between Us and Canada public.\nBut Trump is right he is now taking\nCare of his own country's economy. He is not allowing taxpayers money to E.U. & other country's.

The way to deal with Trump is to just give it to him. Do not give him material to walk all over PM Trudeau is giving the US president material that will easily portray him in a wimpy manner. You're talking to a BULLY. ?????

From the U.S. and I support the Canadians. I respect how Trudeau speaks eloquently as a “grown-up” should, and the fortitude and strength he and all of Canada shows. I hope our 2 countries resolve this stupidity on trumps part. If not sooner than at least when his illegal reign is over (good riddance when he’s gone). ❤ you Canada!!!

Dont like Trudeau but I have to say, great last speech. Trump is such a liar about fentanol from Canada. Good luck USA, you are in for one hell of a ride !

So good to hear an intelligent, articulate statement from Trudeau. In comparison to STUPID tRUMP!!

Trump just saved Trudeau's sinking political career with these tariffs

Our president Mr. Trudeau says “We” and gives credit to his people unlike Donald Trump who is always using “I” implying that he alone caused good things to happen to America.

LMAO, Trudeau talking to us Americans like we have a say. WTF are we gonna do? Drag the Repubs out of the White House? No thanks. I appreciate having living quarters outside of Gitmo. These assholes need to just keep having a go at each other and leave us the fuck out of it. It's their show anyway. None of them ever follow our will. If they did, we wouldn't have charter schools and public schools wouldn't have been an absolute joke before Trump started trying to shut it down.

I’m American and I wish we had a leader like Trudeau. To all the MAGA idiots that voted for Trump, thanks for ruining our country. It only took 6 weeks.

I'm an American, and I understand and support you Mr. Trudeau! It's just awful living here right now and waking up everyday to see and hear what awful things trump, vance, and musk are doing next!?

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

I have to disagree with Trudeau. Trump is NOT a very smart guy.

Funny: When Trudeau addresses Trump directly, he speaks as if to a small child so that it understands what he is talking about.

Leaders like Trudeau gives me hope that the madness of Trump and his gang will not prevail...

tRump gave the Prime Minister the best gift ever, a war that Canada didn't start but rallies the whole country together against an antagonistic bully. Trudeau will get a 20 point bump in his approval ratings and go out a winner.

That makes Donald Trump the dumbest person to ever occupy the Oval office in history. What a shame!!!! I am proud of Justin Trudeau.

Most Americans are brainwashed by Fox News to support Trump no matter what.\nBrainwashed Americans do not have the IQ to understand Trudeau's speech.

Trudeau must of had to bite his tongue , to call Trump a smart gay...

I gotta say that I'm not a liberal nor have I been a particular fan of Justin Trudeau... but today (and for the last few weeks) I've been quite impressed by my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This Canadian supports a vast and vicious trade war against the United States. I do not have any hatred for the American people but I do have nothing but contempt for Trump and his band of traitorous scum! I wouldn't have dreamed that our closest friend and ally could be siding with an enemy proclaimed (Russia) against democratic nations. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy everywhere and must be put down by the American people like a rabid dog!
