That's not all, the little Fenian wants to annexate you! Take care! Dust your old Washington Treaty of 1871 and have it handy!!

Maybe Canada can annex us? That would be excellent.

It does make sense. Trump wants to annex Canada, get the NW passage, get Greenland, he just bought Panama Canal… with these trade routes in place he stands to gain over 2 trillion a year.. it’s about greed.

Great speech. Try to remember, the President does not appear to play well with others. His ridiculous tariffs and annexation fantasies are absurd. I think the American people will push back against these policies.

Trudeau please annex California Im old worked hard as a Tax Acct and to be in your presence You Care and statesmen with Empathy ps i studied French and can do Taxes

Canada please annex the US West Coast stares. We love you!

Your all intelligent people..Trump wants to Annex Canada!!!

Oh come on, Canada is irrelevant, the fact that the USA has even allowed Canada to exist as a country.Canada should be thankful for that.Mark my words no one, not one country can do anything if the US decides to annex Canada and make canada it's 51st state.

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! ???????????????

Both countries annexed a tax of 25% on the citizens of both countries , lay-offs , higher interest & mass poverty lines .Typical both leaders , don't talk to each other .

Please annex Minnesota, Canada.

Why should anyone be surprised, Trump stated that he would annex Canada by the means of an economic war. And if this fails who knows, maybe a “ Special Military Operation”.

I’m American..I love the people of Canada & Mexico..and the beautiful land of both countries. I truly believe illegal fentanyl will become a presidential justification for annexation of our allied countries. Putins attack on Ukraine has emboldened a specific American to seek out his own tress passing, imho. I pray I’m wrong..but when someone tells you what they want, unreasonable or not, I’ve learned in my lifetime to believe them

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

?? Trudeau didn't even bring up the part where Donny keeps threatening to annex Canada.\nAs a Canadian....ya...we are pissed at the irresponsible and bullying tactics of Putin's lap dog.\nWhen America gets it's ethics back and respect for rule of law and turns its back on authoritarianism...\nMaybe then we can resume our profitable relationship...but not before.

Can Canada annex the USA? lol

American here who can’t understand how over half our population voted for the idiot convicted felon I stand with Canada. By the way, would you consider annexing Alaska as your new province?

It has nothing at all to do with the border it is plain and simple economic warefare. He is trying to bring Canada to its knees and annex us. That will never happen.

Trump wants to break the Canadians in order to ultimately force the annexation of Canada into the United States. This is the main goal of this trade war, since the USA cannot start a traditional war with Canada like Putin did.

This is Trumps playbook. Ask for something and then complain that it is not exactly what he originally asked for. Justifies him for not paying contractors. In this case probably justifies in annexing Canada. Orange douchebag.

please annex VT :)

Trump just wants more tax money from Americans. The excuse of business and border control were just to get us to get things done for him. Time to annex the states and make them suffer for trumps idiotic plans

Trump lies. This has only to do with economic pressure to Annex us. Don’t ever believe that liar.

Canada and Mexico should not lift these tariffs until the Trump administration ends. Trump will not stop this bullshit until he gets to annex Canada.

Trump is a conman. Not a smart businessman. Putin wanna- be. He has very low self-esteem. Only such people bully others. Trump's only agenda is to annex Canada any which he can. Invade the beautiful country for its resources and destroy it with his greed. Trump has betrayed America.

Trump is provoking Canada into cutting energy supplies to the northern states, to set US citizens against Canada, as a prelude to an attempt to annex Canada. This could be explained if Trump has been talking to Putin and colluded on a plan to divide the world between them. This would also explain his insane plan to annex Gaza, as an excuse to react to the inevitable violence that would attract on its 'American' territory. Taking Greenland would be next, while Putin moves into Europe. Well done, American voters...you've killed us all.

Trump doesn't care who he hurts. He and Vance stand by Putin! Trump should have negotiated with Canada and not threatened to start a war with Us.. more than a trade war. Trump wants to help Putin take Ukraine and then he hopes his buddy Putin will help annex Canada! It will be war.. we will not give Canada to backstabbers and murderers!

President Trump wants to annex Canada that’s all.

It's time for the USA to leave NATO and to annex Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Greenland. Canada and their Europhile white supremacists exists because America allows it, and for NO other reason!

I fear Trump sets up this ecalating trade war in oder to justify military action / annexation of canada. As stupid as it sounds I wouldnt even be surprised any more.

How about Canada annex Wisconsin? Healthcare, affordable drugs, sane leadership sounds good to me! Got milk, Canada? You could have all the milk, cheese and beer that Wisconsin has to offer ?

I am a French Canadian. I did not hear it From Trudeau in English but I heard it in French, the real reason of the economic war is annexation. Fentanyl, immigration was just a Casus Belli. Trump want to put us on our knees and beg to join the US. We will have federal elections soon and we know that Trump will try to influence the outcome of the elections like Chine, Russia or India. We know has Canadian that USA is not a friend anymore. Trump is the dumbest of American President of the history of USA. Americans citizens get rid of Trump and Vance before it is too late.

Annex Canada! Not really a country!

Trump's actions are not those of an ally. He's a terrorist that wants to annex Canada like Putin did with Ukraine.

This is unacceptable Canada should be invaded and annexed immediately

This is what a leader looks like. Take some advice from an american. Don't place your government in the hands of the inexperienced or the unfit, especially during wartime. It 47 wants to annex you as the 51st state. Your personal space is being encroached upon. Its not about fentanyl nor the border. It's about domination and submission. You need a wartime leader. Not the inexperienced banker, etc...etc. You haven't much time to rewind and reset. Don't do what the idiots and the idiocracy did here.

Maybe Canada could annex us: The Canadian States of America. No Republicans

I don't know why the US government wants Canada. Logically speaking, it will be the bluest of blue states. Think of the consequences. Annexation could be the biggest of own-goals.

This was never about fentanyl. This was a purposeful attack on our economy as a prelude to an annexation attempt.

According to the series Fallout the annexation of Canada will take place in 2070 so we have time before the first nuclear dance, but the paranoia of the USA has started earlier than expected with this government, good luck.

Canada!! Please annex the US!!

What's more dumb than this? Invading and annexing Canada. Is that next?

I wish we were annexed ASAP

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

16:50 we know for a fact this is NOT actually about Fentanyl and border security. Trump has literally stated that this is tactic to try and annex us, to decimate our economy so we have no choice but to join America. I just hope that our european allies will actually have our backs.

It's never been about the drugs - Trump wants to annex Canada. Full Stop.

CNN cut out what our Prime Minister ?? was going to say as to the real reason why we are getting hit with Tariffs which is this,,,to economicaly cripple us so Trump can Annex Us,,Take over Canada,,,,we have what Trump wants,,Our minerals,water, rich resources,,,he wants to be like Putin his idol,,,,That is the real plan Americans,,,please wake up to this and get him out of office ,,,your country is slowly becoming a dictatorship brick by brick under Trump and his regime,,,

The ,,justification..is an excuse for annexation

Trump should annex Canada to make it Great again❤

Someone should annex Ukraine. That would be a \ncheckmate against Trump and Putin
