Trudeau thinks Canada can survive a trade war? ???. Canada doesn't have anything that the US can't get for itself. Unless they want to start selling snow to the southern states. We help them by buying their crap. We dont need it like Canada needs us. We subsidize their economy in more ways than one. And Trudeau is willing to learn that the hard way it looks like.\n\nOh well, Gues Canada Wont have much of a choice but to become the 51st state

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

He caused all this mess. Little dictator tariffs his own people for his own gain. Look up SDTC scandal. Most crooked liar in the history of Canada. Total loser buddy needs to realize his time is over

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Look americans who voted trump america will be great for loosing friends and allied around the world the only friend with you is putin.

Why does the guy behind him kinda look like Bryan Cranston lol

EVERYONE THIS IS WHO YOU VOTED FOR THE VISION YOU SEEN WAS TRUMP & MONEY ?? NOW LOOK In my (Fred Sanford voice) You BIG DUMMY!!!!?

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

CNN is disgusted headlining Trudeau like he is amazing and defending Canada stop hating our country..Too many young kids have died from fentanyl poisoning because of these people why don’t you look a parent in the eye that lost a child and tell them what Trump is doing is wrong you would never you cowards

this guy looks as fake as possible, didn't he resign to?

Looks like America will have more Anti American sentiments not just from the Middle East. watch out America, Trump is working for Putin and he will tear your country apart. MAGA supporters don’t have that level of intelligence to comprehend what’s about to happen.

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

last time he did it everyone complained but biden kept the tariffs and nobody complained signaling to trump that he was right, the real trick is to call it a trade war then they can both raise taxes on their citizens which is exactly what trudeau just did whilst making it look like he's st george off to fight dragons

Unfortunately, the way it comes across outside the US, especially in Europe, Americans are so much antagonised internally that they look to have permanently lost the ability and desire to help themselves not generate hatred for each other, let alone being able to help someone else. Sadly!

It look likes Trump is destroying the USA from within. This must be the big dream of all the opponents of the free countries..

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

I just looked it up. Per capita Canada has a higher inflation rate and per capita Canada has more homeless people than America

Look at you, how blatantly you r lying you idiot.

This is what a REAL leader looks like. Trump is nothing but putin’s dog

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

Lady this is not your country because he is going to be looking at you as being a Mexican citizen so I hope you’re prepared for what he will do to you

Wait a go maga you look real smart now don't you. Enjoy your president?

Trudeau is dealing with a malignant narcissist. Even if Trump wants to, he can’t back down because he thinks it’ll make him look weak. America’s voters completely underestimated the danger of Trump’s personality disorder.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

There's a picture with Trump looking at satan in the mirror.

I was thinking, a few MO’s ago, when is he leaving office, Trudeau, he’s been in there for several years. About 2 MO’s ago this crossed our mind, saw something about it, that he was leaving after his term, don’t remember, than they showed another man that was going to be running, and we thought, we must be right, he has been in there for quite awhile, his latest term must be up. Now we see him again, puzzled; we’ll have to look it up…

so this is how it looks when wht folks get mad at each other....lol, remember yall put the ORANGE p ;ece of s h;t in the white house

This is what a president looks and sounds like! Intelligent, direct, formidable, respectful - that is how power should be used.

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

Canada should look at the Top 10 Shareholders for every publicly listed Canadian corporation... Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Citi Group and JPM. What do you think is going to happen?\nThe board of directors will now vote to move manufacturing to the USA under the pretext of avoiding Tariffs and protect shareholder value. This will be supported by those shareholders.

….just an few millimeters to the right…just an few millimeters to the right….now look where we’re at…..

This happened during a prorogation Trudeau called for. Look at what happened and where we currently are. He's starting a fight before he leaves....

Hey Little Donnie,take note! This is what a leader looks and sounds like. Note how he behaves! \nBTW, he’s not orange, and flailing his hands around like a dumb Asss!\n\nAmerican here from Nashville TN!

I know a lot of people in the comment section have TDS so you look even more stupid praising this guy. You have no idea what this guy has done to Canada. His approval rating his lower than when Biden was President. He's a joke and this is just a smoke screen before the election where his party will be annihilated. Calling him Donald in a press conference was a beta move. Especially since he's on his way out in shame. At least the President gave a bit of respect and called him Governor hahaha.

Hi from Canada... When you look at a long line of MAGA't Zombie voters and you see them all smiling and collectively they make one complete set of teeth and then you allow them to vote in their golden pig and make him president, this is what you get! I realise that everyone that is good and decent in the USA bent over backwards not to look down or insult MAGA't types for fear of further alienating them, all it has done is backfired both upon good and decent Americans but upon the cult of Orange Jesus as well. So now we're left with this dystopian mess. Long past time to take the gloves off and get into the fight. Pretend you're all hockey players playing the Russians... leave it ALL on the ice!!!

Look at the facts. No, you didn’t act.

Because Canada supports Ukraine, it meant it is against Russia. And Trump won’t have any of that. Put someone who looks at these things as they are plainly as can be, this is the best anyone can get. Can’t be any flimsier than that.

we the American start to look like the bad guys to the world y would we start some wit Canada they peaceful

As an American, I wholeheartedly support Canada. This is what a mature, intelligent LEADER looks like.?? ❤

And nobody was so clever to take a look at donnie in the 80's ? He was recruited by the KGB wel who was in the KGB to?? PUTIN...the 2 of them are playing the same game..planning together to get more power....The US has no more friends than PUTIN...

His only mistake was not to talk to his Canadian in the same way about the external diplomatic journey. Most Canadians voted him out because most Canadians have little to no idea how it is arround the globe, missing an overall perspective in their critic to Trudeau. Let me tell you that a lot of people changed their minds looking at his reaction to external threath posed by newly elect Trump. I allways knew Trump was bad news but never did I see a country turn it's administrative logistic into a pure representation of the cult Donald made into place. I hope my fellow friendly american get loud enought to be herd from their respective administrative leaders in your political system. Be critical, this is not what the USA is sopposed to be about.

Oh god. He said let's look at the facts. Now they won't listen to shit he says

This is what a real leader looks like. This is an intelligent, serious person.

What a baffoon. I guess Trudeau will move to the U.S. and become a Democrat after his term. It's not just about drugs. It's about forcing a global reboot. It's only a small percentage that thinks everything is going bad. Most use their brain and look for long term change that is needed. The world has been laughing at us for more than the last 4 years too.

This is what a LEADER looks like!!! You can understand every word he says. Not like Trump, who reads and sounds like Dick and Jane!!! I stand with you Canada!!!

I am moving to Canada. this is what a leader looks like. take a good look MAGA sh*ts!

This is what a leader looks like.

I really wish you had let us hear the PM answering the reporters. Just to give the American's a look at how it should be carried out.

Now that's what a leader looks like
