The orange clown still does not understand how Tariffs work. It is evident he thinks it's a tax and when he sees the numbers in terms of government revenue accredited to tariffs, he ignorantly believes the country is making money. His understanding so simple he thinks he has raised GDP and is making America great again when in fact he is single handedly and in the face of universal opposition destroying the economy and causing grievous hardship to millions of Americans. Apparent friend to our worst enemies and himself the biggest enemy of the people.

need to get rid of qanon from Canada, theyre traitors and work for putin.

European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

This ain't us, this is Trump and the old folks who are clueless about how things work in today's market. We do not stand with Putin - ✌️

The fentanyl issue from Canada is another smokescreen. Trump could care less about anyone who dies in the states. If he cared about the people, he wouldn´t be working behind the scenes to invite Russia to take over the USA.

The state of the world right now reminds me of my parking lot at work.....just an absolute shit show

As somebody who works in the retail business, you hit the nail with the hammer on this one we!! we do need the pot as it comes from your guys’s mines so we can grow stuff

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

US Americans - get your pathetic orange bully wannabe-king under control! \nGet him out of office! Not in four years - NOW!\nHe is the worst thing that could happen to you and all your friends and allies! The whole free world! \nHe is a traitor working for the worst of the worst on this planet!\nAnd it is YOUR duty to remove him and his minions from office!\n\nGeneral strike! Now!

Mr. Trudeau please go to war with us, take us over and become our President, seriously, I am not joking. I want to leave the U.S. and work in Canada because of this evil regime.

I don’t understand why everybody is surprise by what Trump is doing! Are we that dumb! He does not care x the country, its citizens, least of all the constitution! He is and has been working to destroy everything that makes this country what it is! Please wake up!!

These people DO NOT know how to talk to Americans and especially Trump. This is NOT going to work, you should have stuck with the begging and leave the shit talking out tbh - would have served you better! Good luck Canada. But ??

For anything Canada promised to work with Trump, Trudeau should stop immediately. No need to do anything on the border. Stop that immediately. Canadian should focus full power to fight for this trade war for 4 years .

Prove me that Trump is not working for Putin?!

He tried to address Donald Trump man to man But that does now work for Trump You have to get down on the ground and grovel And lick his boots To even get Trump To acknowledge somebody because Trump thinks he's God

I stand with Canada. Mr. Trump is a traitorous poison working for all intent and purposes for Vladimir Putin and as such, he is a major threat to the national security to this country, Canada, Europe and the world. He and his criminal administration must be removed before they cause the collapse of the west.

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

all you people,, this is what cheats and crooks do,. talk sweet on the camera,, but do not do any work which effects your daily lives. Trump is not those people,, his action speaks louder than words,, the time to rip america off is over,, america will prosper now,, free money and aid is gone now,, all you countries,, work hard to earn your wages now,, nothing is going to be a handout,, america is no more your grannys shop.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau for realizing that the American people, obviously not our leaders, are with you and we will work this out!

Can I move to Canada? I want to live in a country with a government that acutally works.

Canada please work with global leaders in stopping Putin and Trump! Axis of evil.

Is that why yourrrrrrrr people come down to Washington state for medical treatment and milk and eggs and fuel. And Trudeau worked with Chinese military In drills whilst in Canada.

Why did Trudeau say he's been working with Donald Trump for 8 years??? Trump has not been President for 8 years.

Canadians are just dumb, thats why this lying freemason can decieve the people who live there, these puppets dont work for the people, they serve the evil entity behind the curtain, the true controllers of this flat earth, surprisingly this puppet left it out in this scripted garbage, fentanyl is made by the people he serves.

Our method is working ???? did Trudeau is aware about the catastrophic drug situation in his own country ??

Sorry Canada. But Donald's not interested in fact. It's theater. He has no idea how tariffs work.

Justin Trudeau that thing in the WH is trying to get your citizens worked up against you just like putin did to our people with Biden

Yep it's going to be interesting \nAs I work for an international Automotive injection molding company based here in the US\nWe import Raw materials from Europe and China plus within the US and who knows where these materials come from.\nBut we also export finished products and materials to Europe, China, Canada, Mexico just to name afew.\nThat is a lot of tariffs placed on these products and that doesn't include tax, cost of labor, manufacturing costs\ngoing to be interesting what the future holds

Trump is an ignorant fool. He has no idea how tariffs or anything else works! Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau.

And there's nothing we Americans can do about it because the clowns that Republicans elected are working against their own constituents because they are afraid of an ignorant narcissist who is manipulating the government completely for his interests and out of revenge for those who indicted him for all his illegal activity. He continues to skate above the law.

Amazing work Canada ?? your stand with truth, integrity and heart is inspiring. From an Australian ?? \nSlava Ukraine ?? ✌?

Look up the French connection it’s how drugs especially opiates go from Asia to turkey to Italy to Canada a lottttttt of drugs come through the north this guy is a liar and if prices go up we work and make money so whatever bro

3:10 this part I 100% disagree with. They didn't sabotage their agenda at all. Their agenda was always to screw over the working and middle class, and give everything to the rich. That's been the Republican agenda for as long as I've been alive (25 years), and it's not changing anytime soon.

We understand. I did not vote for the Putin buddies. We hope that once this group is out of office America can work with others. They need to step down.

After a speech like this, discourse and solutions are supposed to follow. It's how we work with peers in school, it's how business allies work.\n\nInstead, Trump may see this as a harsh message and fire up the heat to turn this into a spectacle-- arguments, ego, threats. And then the actions will be reactions and attacks instead of solutions. i think the issue lies in that my statements-- no matter if you're Red or Blue, ring factually correct to Trump\ns behavior. he's not here to save citizens or solve issues. He is here for us to watch his reality TV show-- but it's also our own reality!! \n\nHOW IS THE US AND CANADA IN A TRADE WAR RIGHT NOW IN 2025!? I don't understand!!!

Canada and Europe should work together

Somewhat right but not exactly right. According to Trump admin, Trump is actually trying to stop the circumvention of Chinese goods and Chinese drugs coming from Canada. Trudeau promised Trump to work on the drug issue, but I guess he did not if we are seeing the significant import tax on Canada now. And come on Trudeau, you dislike Trump and aren't exactly his friend. You talked back on him on many international stages. Anyways, I wish you two get along eventually and hope the same for US and Canada.

I am extremely proud of the Canadian Government and all Canadians as we work together in this extremely sensative situation. May we all stay united, strong and see how much can be done to get through this ( a possible resolution?). Prayers for clarity and understanding.

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

A high school teacher explains a billionaire businessman how economy works. ONLY ON CNN! ?

Trump is CLEARLY not a smart man ! Either that, or he is a Russian asset working to harm western countries as much as possible.

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

Orange man Bad ! ? He has done nothing for his Maga Voters , just horrible things in 2025 . But yet they still support him regardless ? , just because Orange man bad hates the same people and the same things that majority of white americans hate in America ! But again he could care less about them even if they are american white , white working class , and white poor as well ... He doesn't care for them at all ..?

If you wanted to work with us, this wouldn’t be happening in the first place ?‍♂️

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

Some people may not know where Donald Trump is doing what he is doing he trying to overthrow this country. So what he’s doing he trying to turn all the other countries against the American people so he can lock it down and help things his way. That’s one of the reasons why he is determined to destroy Ukrainian and other of our allies so him and his circle can do all their dirty work

trump cannot be a dictator and maintain alliance with democracy countries. Maga voter's for some reason believe dictatorship work in their favor. ?

In California but 1000% Team Canada. I am actively seeking out Canadian products to replace those from red states. (Canadian Mist, Crown Royal and many others are excellent replacements for Kentucky whiskeys.) I hope (and expect) that Blue State governors are working with Canada and our other allies to put the squeeze on Trump-supporting states and industries. While I hold out little hope that Trump cultists will ever not be brainwashed, putting them through direct and maximum pain is the only possible way out. Canada, elbows up! Turn out the lights, raise the price of our oil and know that true Americans are with you every step of the way.

Anti-Semitic Jew hater Trudeau has his work cut out for him. Trudeau will likely find some way to blame the Jews for the tariff problems.
