Trump wanted fair trade. RECIPROCAL and Canada who has had a free ride for decades cried like a spoiled ungrateful baby

This is guy is talking about making sense?? Seriously? \n\nYou’re berating trump for trying to make peace with Russia yet align yourself with China and let them infiltrate our government. You destroy the lives of your own citizens and completely ignore their rights and you wanna act like a tough guy now? \n\nAbsolutely pathetic.

Have you noticed that the Nickelodion logo is shaped like a certain island whose files Trump is currently unveiling?\nEp__ein...

Trudy is a weasel, hopefully Trump helps you all find your huevos, (like it used to be)

It’s almost like Trump is being influenced by something or someone who wants to destroy the west.

Trump wants America to die from what it looks like! He's alienating us from our allies!

This is how a serious Politician would speak and not a psychopath like Trump

There is only one thing the canadian prime minister got wrong. Trump is an ABSOLUTE STUPID MORON and that is the reason he does dumb moves like tariffs. Plus, trump is a criminal that should have been put in prison years ago

Thank you for showing trump what a real leader looks like.

Trudeau let's Trump get the upper hand....oof, bad move Trudeau. Looks like Canada could actually become the 51st state now.

I am Canadian!!! I don't like Trump, he is everything that is wrong with American politics.

I wish our European leaders would stand up to Trump like this brave man and his country

As a Sri Lankan..? well I’m watching this high school level bullying program and enjoying it ? we’re seeing how a malignant narcissist like trump leads a country for the first in our lifetime and it’s a great shit ? show.

Trump is going to bankrupt America like he did with all his businesses ..

Trudeau, you speak just like a child throwing a tantrump??????? You go Mr Trump!!

I always liked Canadian people because they are very very kind but Trump is not going to change

I didn't like him BUT I retract. Trump can't bully Canada and I absolutely love this! Go Canada!

If anything, it looks like Trump is doing a fine job uniting the rest of the world. There's some good in it at least, I guess.

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

This is so heart breaking, I was actually hopeful that Trump would change things for the better but it feels like we’re in a downward spiral, pray for the US ??❤️

What's crazy is I think Trudeau is a shit politician but held against Trump he looks like George fucking Washington. \n\nI love my Canadian friends, and don't blame Canada at all for the response. Fuck maga!

I voted for this, “Trump is whacking friends not enemies” WELL WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…..

Well done Canada. Don`t ever be bullied by people like Trump .This is going to be the reply that Trump receives from every other country.America need to get up off their backsides and get rid of Trump and Musk.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Another gang is going to attack the Capitol, then I want to see if Trump forgives them like he did with the other criminals who beat and killed police officers, and this administration is a joke, I've never seen an aide to the president of America with a chainsaw in his hand. Salute Canada and the Americans who are with democracy

but this might look like a joke but i think trump was pid by putin to do these kind of thing

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

I think Trudeau is awesome. He makes trump look like the jack-ass he is.

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

That's right ! Dope comes from the dopes in usa to Canada. Not orher way around. Trump just wants to control it. Like past usa governments who brought in coke and smack to control ethnic minorities it did not work. Those ethnicities had friends in other cultures. Ie( Oliver north, Iran contra affair.

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Didn't Trump originally sign off the treaty he doesn't like, maybeI'm missing something. England here, questioning if our intelligence agencies should cut ties with the American agencies at the moment.

America has a dictator and he is full of himself and is a real loser. He is like putin both he and trump are criminals.

My father was 24 year Navy. I'm glad he passed because this would kill him. He didn't like Trump in the 80s. America doesn't want this!!!We stand with Ukraine,Canada and Mexico.

NOBODY should call trump a PRESIDENT.HE IS A TYRANT LIKE PUTIN. TAKE HIM OUT WITH ANY MEANS.

He is correct..our government is doing this to us . For Trump's circus act like he's a genius

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

Must be nice for Canadians to have a strong intelligent leader like Trudeau. We now have Trump .. again (WTF). Guess we know which direction the United States is going. Very sad situation.

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

Trump has a gold card he is peddling, and im guessing the drug cartels will be buying them up ...seems like a money laudering scheme to me .

Very strong and superb speech of Trudeau. Speaking like a true leader not like trump, who speaks like a person who is going through mental disorder and a puppet of Elon, who unfortunately holds a Canadian citizenship. Trump,Elon and Vance are the new Hitler working putin

Holy moly, is this what it sounds like when a world leader can speak two languages with clarity instead of rambling unintelligibly like Trump?

Trump will end like Mussolini. From Ukraine with love. Trump is a Putin and KGB agent.

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

That was likely one of the best speeches Trudeau has ever made. But he is also right. This is the most crazy Tariff War that makes no sense. It is clear to me that Trump doesn't understand the impact of his actions

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

This is mirroring the 1930s, its like Trump WANTS the economy to crash to control the people and enforce fascism

Tabernac! Trump just made Trudeau look like Winston Churchill. ?

Not even his own country likes him. Trump was overwhelming elected to do this exact thing. Shame on cnn for even covering this. Trudeau is not relevant.
