At least half of our country doesn’t want this either. We feel helpless (those who oppose Trump) but we will keep speaking out. We value you Canada, and our other long term allies. I am sorry Trump and MAGA is such a major cancer that we cannot seem to cut out. Please consider adopting states that want to leave the union. That would piss Trump off the most…losing territory to you.

1) Musk wants to be the world's first and only Trillionaire... \n2) Trump wants everything to collapse so that he can declare martial law, and become total dictator. \n3) MAGA doesn't have a clue what they voted for. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utl2uLh1wVI&ab_channel=TheDailyShow 13:00 WATCH

Trump doesn't care what this B says

His a joke like all the politicians - no exceptions… talking about some numbers that doesn’t make sense… what a dirty way - to say indirectly to the American people to boycott their government ? trade war isn’t a war it call business - better than what any president that still support any people losing their lives in a nonsense conflict.

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

Hey, morons at CNN, just because he’s speaking French doesn’t mean he was done talking. Listen to the translation and you’ll see he wasn’t just repeating himself you single language bigots.

Trump isn’t sabotaging any of his plans by doing this. He’s doing exactly what he wants. Helping his billionaire friends make more billions and consolidate as much power as possible. He doesn’t really see people as people. Everyone is just a tool or a pawn for him to influence in whatever way that helps him get more power.

Goddammit CNN, I don’t want to listen to Wolf, I wanted to listen to someone who had something to say. Just because Wolf doesn’t speak French doesn’t mean others don’t. Je voulais entendre Justin Trudeau.

tRUMP INSULTS AMERICA'S ALLIES & CUSTOMERS. BAD FOR AMERICAN BUSINESS. WHAT PART DOESN'T MAGA GET. YOU/WE WILL ALL LOSE OUR JOBS!!!

Good for you!! I'm so sorry :-( he doesn't represent what we believe here in this home

The orange bafoon doesn't have a clue about anything

Leave fentanyl alone. If anything stop consuming it so it doesn't bother you

1:27 didn't CNN tell me over and over that Americans pay the tariffs? This doesn't pass the smell test..

Trudy is lecturing US , and we give Trudy billions of dollars because he can't run his own country, Ha ha ha ha. Trump will cut off his allowance too. We really don't need his stinkin canadian bacon and maple syrup. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, Trudy take your fertelizer and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Oh that's right, you're full of it already.

I don’t get it, we as Americans are just asking to be treated the same, why shouldn’t Canada pay the same as we pay? \n\nSound like a but hurt girl friend who doesn’t want to be treated the way she treats others. Like attracts like dumbasses

President Trump has to do what Putin says because Putin has all of stormy Daniels sex tapes with Donald Trump if he doesn't do what Putin says sex tapes will be all over the internet ????

Lol the coherent leader that doesn’t allow citizens to access to their own private bank accounts! He is as every leftist full of BS ! Hispanics for Trump!!!

We may be under severe economic pressure, but we will not bow to the decisions of a foolish president. We made a mistake when we were overconfident in America, the fight that doesn't break your back makes you stronger.

Putin is hoping the US loses all its allies. I’m surprised Trump doesn’t just call it the gulf of Russia.

Canada has 30 million people and each state has that population and ur trying to tell me USA doesn’t have more fentynal than Canada and we’re supplying them?.. lmfao

Donald and smart doesn’t go together on the same sentence.

Doesn’t bother me. I have a cushy six figure job. But I will delight in seeing Trump voters squirm under the higher food prices he gives them.

Commie Donnie doesn't care about the American people. He only cares about enriching himself and his billionaire friends.

Just because he is speaking nicely scripted it doesn’t mean he is a good leader look at the Canada it’s not that good country, what he did to you during Covid . You need to choose different leader for better Canada ??.

Doesn’t work to talk intelligently to someone who doesn’t have intellect, sadly. It just makes them confused and mad

China has imposed a 25% tariff on the USA, which will have consequences due to Trump's aggressive moves. He thinks governing is like running a business, but the world doesn't work that way. Trump is not helping the USA but will make life more complex, and a few years later, Americans will realize.

I never liked Trudeau but he is 100% morally and economically correct on this. I don’t know if Trump listen to his advisors or they are too scared to tell him what he doesn’t want to hear.

Canada doesn't have the same trade war as America. Canada, China, Mexico, and a few others so trump is really hurting America citizens for his own selfish ego

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

The world genuinely detests America. You are all bubble babies living in a country that doesn’t give 2 craps about the rest of the world apart from what you can gain. Taking receipts!

Must be nice to have a leader that doesn’t surround himself with bullies and unqualified people.

Americans are Stoopid voted for trump ? american president doesn't have the balls to stand up against russia ? well actually he's a russian spy?

It DOESN'T make sense!! I'm so sorry Canada......I know WE Americans will be punished by this horrible/hateful human that some chose as a president.

The Orange Idiot is showing just how much Putin has him in Putin's service. Time & history will tell how greatly corrupted he's been by Putin. The Orange Idiot is just the most despicable piece of human excrement ever. It's America's fault as you voted for him. Regret / buyers' remorse doesn't cut much ice wrt this situation. Let's hope the world survives him (physically & politically) without enduring a global war. I won't hold my breath.

People in the comments keep praising this guy..... sure he gave a nice professional speech. But, it doesn't change the fact that he's a joker and a complete douchebag to his country and to others especially India

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

Drumpf doesn't care about actual facts; he makes stuff up as he goes along. The good news...nope, there isn't any.

Never mind tariffs on energy - wait’ll Doug Ford flips the electricity switch. And Justin doesn’t really think your orange-hued leader is smart - quite the opposite. He’s just kissing trump’s a$$ because that’s what trump responds to …. because he’s really, really stupid. Something that Putin and Xi have always known.

? This idiot actually thinks Americans are going to listen to him? What a joke!\nRemember, this is the guy who froze the bank accounts of trucker, simply because they were protesting. He’s a dictator wanna-a-be (but doesn’t have the strength or manliness to pull it off).

Hey why doesn't Canada have an immigration issue

Trudeau is a joke in Canada. A leech that doesn't wanna leave his post. Greedy, gay, coward and no dignity!

Turdeau is nothing more than a communist POS and needs to be removed and charged with TREASON and many more crimes. As for Tariffs, why doesn't this low life bring to light the 270% Tariffs on Milk to the US, 298% on butter, 245% on cheese, 238% on chicken,57% on barley seed, 45% on Aluminum, 48% on copper, 45% on cars, and the list goes on, all Trump wanted was the border cleaned up of criminals and drugs and this POS is turning it into a trade war. He has no money for additional border security, but he can send billions to Zelensky, another criminal pile of garbage. When the hell are Canadians going to wake up to the criminals in power ???????????????

Do you really think that Trump doesn’t understand that he is being “played” by Putin?? Seriously? Trump is working for Putin and gets paid to do this.

And to think...Trump still doesn't know how Tariffs work!

It doesn't make sense until you're prepared to face the fact that Trump is a wannabe dictator. He is basically at war with any nation that is a democracy and he cosies up to the dictators of the world. He bypasses Congress, ignores the courts, and attacks the free press. It's easy to see the plan once you realise he's just another dictator. Americans voted for this. Well done. I hope you're happy.

Good speech, but still doesn't diminish the damages he brought as a prime minister

I hope that somebody in the administration who can make sure that the country doesn’t fall apart before the next four years is over, who knows what’s gonna happen at this point?

Trudeua trying to get the Americans to hate Trump is reason enough to believe the tariffs will hurt Canada, and not the American people. Lying coward that doesn't care about his own citizens.

Canada doesn’t even have a MILITARY… bc its neighbors to USA! How can Canada be doing so well with less than cali population but other countries with far more ppl and resources are not? It’s bc USA and Europe
