Trump is destroying America!!

And cue the childish insults and cycle of rage treats from Trump because he lacks the basic leadership skills of service and maturity.\nNote:.Prime Minister Trudeau is a leader that all Americans can admire and respect.

I can't wait for Trump's state visit to the UK, I'm licking my at the reception he's going to get.....eggs at the ready!

The only province that has really done what Trump wants is Alberta.... the rest of what Trudeau is saying is bullshit,the 1.6 billion is over 6 yes ?

Dump trump !

Trudeau screwed up canada. \nHe created the dire economic situation in Canada and Trump noticed this situation and is trying to make this situation as an opportunity for his government.\nTrudueau, as usual , is trying to push the blame on to Trump's administration.\nTrudeau has F** ed up! Period.

USA is an enemy now, until americans give Trump the JFK ''pill'''

Thanks President Donald J Trump . A guy who knows everything , even before you ask him a question. What a Grnius. ?

Thank you for standing up to Trump. He's an idiot. Wish you were our president. Trump is a Russian asset.

I hate you Donald Trump You ruined my America!!! ?

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

Trump is not a smart guy.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

Wish he would have said “Today, Trump launched a trade war…” not all Americans stand with Trump. I stand with our Allies.

In what fucking world is Trump a smart man??

LOL ALL Fentanyl coming over the border is from the U.S. into Canada. It is just an excuse to try and get his military up here. It will not happen. We will meet them with UK troops, our troops and EU troops and others if we must so f him but Trump should really go have a little visit with King Charles.

Trudeau‘s response doesn’t look anything like somebody that wants to work with us. He just turned a tariff that was aimed at creating some equality behind our trades into a trade war not Trump we will own Canada soon enough now because of Trudeau’s terrible response

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am an American and do not agree with what Trump is doing. Yiu gave my full support. Trump is out of his mind, and so are the people who are behind his lunacy!

Waiting for Trumps response to this. Attacking Trump is a very bad idea ?

Trump has invented the emergency with Canada to avoid Congress and use executive powers to slap a tax (taxation without representation) like a King would, on the US people. Last time this happened tea was thrown into the river and the US fought their war of independence.\n\nIt’s time to declare independence from Trump/MAGA

We dont want your globalist world Canada. We are leaving the neo liberal order. Open boarder and the post industrial apocalypse you want to bring to tbe world. Problem is these leftist will sabotage and destroy thier own country just to spite trump and their own people. They support a nazi lead party in Ukraine where even gay marriage is illgeal. Leftist are sick curel people

America is not be trusted, this country is a piece of shit, we have devils destroying this country, giving it to Russia, Trump and Putin are straight up criminals, belings in prison or under it

Trump is not the enemy, we fight against demonic forces, Ephese 6:12. They are at game here. (hi from Holland) Let's pray for Trump and Musk.

Ukrainian-American, it’s hurts me twice. Not my president, hope Trump fries in hell with Putin

Where is all the Funds going? all the firing, all the job cuts .... TRUMP AND MUSK ARE SO CORRUPT!!!!

Trudeau tried to be diplomatic, but this will not work with Trump!! You have to fight hard and cut the energy!!!!

The worst thing trump ever did was make Trudeau into a hero.

You're too late, Trudeau. You should have responded back in November. When Trump mentioned it, but you decided to go hiding.\nNow it's your fault.Nobody else to blame but you\nAs a canadian, I am totally disgusted with your response to this!!

I wish Kamala Harris & Tim Walz would have won the election. I keep thinking about the remarks from trump about secrets with elon & mike johnson. I personally think they cheated. I will always stand with Canada, The UK, Ukraine & every other European country. F trump, he belongs in prison. The only people who still back trump are the rich, the corporations. I will not buy any new phones, appliances & cut back as much as possible on food.

Fuck man...i hate what trump is doing to my country....why did he get elected???

I am from UK and stand with Canada,Ukraine ,UK and rest of Europe. Someone needs to stand up to the bullies that are Trump and Vance.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

A brilliant speech. Honest and forthright. But lets get to the nitty gritty. It's about time the rest of the world realized that life does not revolve around the USA. There is NATO and even though political views differ there is a union to assist each other. America is on the path to a Dictatorship. Trump has the means and the backing to do it. If he gets his third term this will become a reality and there appears no one is prepared to stand in his way.

Being an American is such an embarrassment ? Trump and his criminal buddies have made us laughing stock of the entire world...

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

I don't consider that. . . Talking directly to Trump. Good luck you whimpy crazy little fruit. Ok shoot us with your tariffs. See who caves first. Whining on tv trying to change our minds. When we openly, willingly and happily voted to change the way THIS COUNTRY has been thru because of idiots like you, Biden ETC. change hurts in the beginning. . . But in the end. We will see who has a trade deficit with who. Good luck little fruit

Way to go USA. God blessed u with Trump, his buffoonery is showing???

I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian. \nI am very proud of our Prime Minister. He speaks with truth and facts. He is articulate, calm, and composed. Such a contrast to what the world experienced watching trump and vance kibosh the Ukraine president. Trump and vance were utterly disgusting. \nGood luck to those of you in USA who didn't vote for trump and the nightmare you're dealing with. \nCanada, elbows up!❤

Trump is obviously helping Russia with imposing tariffs on these countries, it's another way of helping his buddy Putin to get back on board with his failing economy.

It is heartening to hear Trudeau speak strongly with honesty, respect and dignity. How sad and unfortunate it is for the US an 18:04 d the world that the US has a lying narcisstic felon rapist in Trump, a man with no dignity or respect.

What is Trump's end game? World dominance for himself or Putin?

Trump has \nNo. Good. Reason. For doing this.

We have to realise Trump has aligned itself to Russia,therefore America is the enemy of the free world.

What did we do to deserve this?\nIs Trump thinking Canada is some kind of ATM machine like how he said South Korea is money printer?

Trump isn’t a “smart guy”. He’s president because the average US voter is very, very stupid.

No, Trump is actually very dumb! That is why this is happening with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico! We are sorry for our stupid president....no respect for him at all

I blame Trump not Canada.

If you can’t beat them, join them. Trump is trying to avoid world war 3. His hands are tied..

Detach your country and sail to Europe, If Trump wants Russia, they can sail over there.
