I don't think what he said was strong enough this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity can some one explain what has driven the US to shit on its friends and allies and pivot towards Russia, North Korea and what Reagan calmed the evil empires is this what MAGA really wanted because rather than make America great its going to make it a banana Republic I mean wurhough nukes that is what Russia has proven to be. If the US can do this to Canada can any former Allie trust the US they now will all wonder when the Bagman will visit seeking Donald's protection money ? this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity and if its a planned strategy the end game seems diabolical if not Criminal ?

The only sane leader in North America.

It could be a good deal for north america to take over Haití and set the microchip industry over there restoring a small hub like that would make all haitianians greatly greatfull with USA IDK is just a suggestion for Mr Trump and his gabinete to think about.

Trump might be able to sell the idea of Fortress North America. Ensures something like tariffs can’t happen. Especially with America flip flopping every 4 years, But he’d have to stop antagonizing his allies. The better America does the better Mexico and Canada does. ?? ?? ?? ( C.U.M) ?. It would most likely involve ditching nato. And trying to still acquire Greenland somehow. NORAD would be expanded.

Canada, with a weak military and liberal ideology, Communism is not great for North America. \n\nMexico with the zero Aircraft Carrier fleet... Stop. Get Help. \n\nDo better!

Trump has really the potential to ruin America. America will most likely ending up as North Korea. Mexico, Canada and even China seems to turn towards Europe. America government have always been trouble and I think they should be isolated from the rest of the world. And Nato should be cancelled and Canada, Mexico and Europe should build a new Alliance with Canada, uk or Germany taking on the mission as leaders.

what the hell is happening in north America!! from México, im very very worried.. we shoould work togethernot make comercial war

Ha Donald this is what a TRUE LEADER LOOKS AN SOUNDS LIKE AN THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE . Donald set back in the corner and lesson to true leadership is . We as Americans will always stand with Canada an YOU STAND WITH RUSSIA, North Korea an other dictatorship countries. The America people will stand TOGETHER AS YOU STAND IN THE CORNER BY YOURSELF STOMPING YOUR LITTLE FEET .

Boohh Trump, Cheers Trudeau! Canada shall lead North America sooner than later !Let God remind USA not TRUST elonMask, the worst American Politician INEFFICIENCYWISE!

Trump is aligning America with dictators in Russia, North Korea, Israel and Hungary and back stabbing our allies. I have never been more fearful for our country in my life.

So happy as a European to see America finally deciding to hang out with countries its been much alike for decades: Russia, North Korea.. The mask is off. Mistake not Americans, you are just as brainwashed as the average Russian. Good luck, you will need it but since you are the one nation under God (propaganda brainwashing) I'm sure ya'll got this.

Trudeau Should be President of all of North America. He just stuffed Trumps face in the mud. And made Trump eat shit.\n\nHow sweet it is. He is gutsy, brave man.

Just one note it was going to be a GOLDEN AGE FOR ONE PERSON AND HIS RICHEST BILLIONAIRE FRIENDS AS THEY SCREWED THE REST OF THE AMERICAS AND OUR FRIENDS TO THE NORTH SND SOUTH .

Sadly the plan for Russia ?? and China ?? it’s going well , Division among America's allies , Dividing America's allies and igniting hatred between them is what America's and Europe's enemies, China, Russia and North Korea, want. This is exactly what they want to eliminate America, which is America's isolation from its allies, Canada and Europe, for the success of the plan of China, Russia and North Korea, America is in danger, gentlemen. Making its allies like Canada and Europe abandon it will push America to confront Iran, China, Russia and North Korea alone. This is a hellish plan by China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. America is finished. Trump is a businessman, not a politician. We want to unite America's allies, not divide them. Trump will lead us Americans to hell.???????????????

You people from Canada and the USA are worried, imagine Mexico, where many people can barely survive with their families on a minimum wage. God bless North America.

Keep your Fentanyl out of America, end your tariffs on the goods you import from America and protect your North West passage from China and we won’t put tariffs against your bull shit insignificant country.

PM Justin Trudeau took the right approach, kindly raised his tone, looked dead serious into the camera, and delivered some great points. Thank you, merci Capitaine. We stand for a united North America and back to peaceful times. A Canadian who stands for Ukraine.

Can he run for president of North America.. because I haven't heard this much truth and good sense in government in America in a while

I believe that Trump & Putin have a plan to dominate the world with Putin taking Europe and Trump taking Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panana, aka the Americas. What part China & North Korea play in Asia, I don't know. But they look to be inching in this direction!

After all who is too blame for all this drug addiction in the USA we all know it was the pharmaceutical Emporium and the government… these tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s an evil plan which is going to hurt all of the 3 countries in North America ??

Trump is a joke to the world. Countries have realized Trump can’t be trusted. He has left America open to Russia, China and North Korea to take over.

Dictatorship is coming to the USA. Vance is a real fascist. Everyone is applauding Trump like in the Third Reich or North Korea. Save America, guys, before it's too late.

Rome fell. America is falling. Never been happier to be north of the 60th parallel.

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

Kudos to the Canadiens, the last remaining grown-ups in North America. I am sorry about your neighbour who for all intents and purposes have become a semi-fascist banana republic. Just know that you have friends in Europe.

Just another way to jack up prices of products and goods in north america. Good bye middle class

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

Orange man is literally destroying your country the worst history has ever seen. The world is watching and feeling second hand shame for you, you have become a laughing stock and are turning into a country that your allies around the world will soon want nothing to do with. And all the dumb Americans(there's lots of smart ones) are completely brainwashed to north korean levels by orange man. not looking good America

No. It must be madetough on US citizens, but you can’t look back on a friendship that only you saw, he always saw as transactional. Please just leave the US out of your minds and back away, as he plans to use your country against NATO. North America, is just America to him he literally thinks he’ll be the one to take over while leaving behind Puerto Rico and South America. He doesn’t know about the Somoan islands, onset has hit. I beg all Allies to just leave US to deal with this Russian agent Krasnov, and the A alliance pals of djt.

Excelente speech!! Donald is destroying the North America economy!!

Na-uh!! NAFTA was created to encourage bi-lateral trade amongst the country's in North America .. a president doesn't have the power to annex an international agreement.. he can't even make laws..

Sad moment this is controllable by your head of govt . US and Canada should be work hand in hand . The Decision is bad for everyone in North America

Canadians are reasonable and polite.? Nicest people on the face of earth. Americans are also great. West please don't divide. North America is the best place on the earth. West is the inspiration for everyone in the world. Please unite please.

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!

Proud of Prime Minister Trudeau today ?? It's a very sad day for all of North America. So many people's lives are going to be negatively impacted

Make him Entire North America president leader

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

Trump is an idiot. Russia will never go alongwith America. For just lifting sanctions it is playing a game. China and North Korea also at another corner.

Finally we got an leader in North America who can speak English.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

TRUDEAU FOR PRESIDENT OF NORTH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!

6:43 Sure we stuck to our word but that's irrelevant. Dump is intent on getting his hands on Canada's natural resources because he thinks leaving any money on the table is criminal. He thinks it's a failing that we haven't treated our environment like an oligarch's playground, selling off everything to the highest bidder. This is what he has TOLD you he is planning for America and he's created this trade war smokescreen to keep everyone distracted while he does it. He won't be done until all of North America and Greenland are barren and there's no profit left to make.

It's only a matter of time and America, the USA, will become North Mexico and Trump made it all possible

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Time to pay your fair share. The American taxpayers protect our entire continent with our Navy we should tax South America and the rest of North America and Greenland for protection. Look up the Navy numbers and look at how many boats we have. We are the strongest geographical Nation in this world. Because of the ocean surrounding us. Everyone knows that it would be damn near impossible to take us over but they're finding it far too easy to divide the American people. Find your nationalism.??????

Donald is not a smart guy, and he has no desire to cooperate. He is a Russian agent. He is destroying North America.

The USA ?? made north American. That's why it's called north America. Lol

Nice to see a grown up in a seat of power in North America. Maga are just stupid gullible creatures.
