As a Brit I knew I loved Canada. They are like the more sophisticated, educated cousin of America ❤ Trudeau compared to Trump is like a watching a mature articulate man against a big spoiled orange baboon.

Excuse me....Donald Trump declared a trade war in his actions NOT Canada.....In any response Trump's response will be full of lies and bullshit to take over Canada.....and as Trudeau says...ain't gonna happen...!!!

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.

Trudeau is more for canadians than trump is for us. A real leader in canada.

Boohoo to you Trudeau, you and your mafia gang created this mess. Get your sh*t together, coz imho you are an abject failure here in Canada.\nTrump warned you months ago about tarrifs if you didn’t tighten up the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the States.\nBut what has Trump done to stop the illegal flow of firearms into Canada?\nSo, strengthening the border is the responsibility of both sides.\nNow that the tariffs are on, Canada has no other option but fight back with tariffs against America…so howz it going strengthening our borders?

Trudeau on point - fantastic standing up for Canada and back slapping Trump.

It's funny how Trudeau is taking credit for the border if Joe Biden was still president we were still have a fentanyl problem The only reason it has stopped is because of Trump and his strict border security.

I don’t know why Trudeau made a speech to the American people talking about our government is doing this to us. Who do you think voted Trump into Office? The American people you schmuck????

PRESIDENT TRUMP KNOWS TRUDEAU HAD CHINESE SOLDIERS TRAINING ON CANADIAN SOIL BEFORE COVID. REMEMBER WHEN HE SENT THE U.S. MILITARY TO ITS NORTHERN BORDER \n TRUMP ALSO KNOWS THAT LIKE DEMOCRATS TRUDEAU HAS USED TAX DOLLARS TO BRING IN MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE LIBERAL AND BUY HIS LIBERALS ANOTHER ELECTION. HE ALSO KNOWS TRUDEAU LIBS HAVE BOUGHT AND BRIBED CANADAS FAKE NEWS MEDIA TO ATTACK TRUMP FOR 9 YEARS AND BE LIBERAL PROPAGANDA MACHINES

Trudeau doesn't not impress me at all. That eexactly what Trump want and that will hurt both sides for good. Trudeau must go as well as all the deep state suporting him and al europea country. those guys hurt us more than any trade war through there macabre plitics and decisions along there presidency.

We Canadian stand with the American people, and President Trump CARES AND PUT AMERICA INTEREST FIRST UNLIKE OUR DUMB PM TRUDEAU WHO IS STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE WE CANADIAN ARE TIRED OF HIS WOKE AGENDA AND WHOREMONGER SUPPORTING THE ONGOING WAR IN UKRAINE WASTING OUR TAX PAYRES MONEY AND THERE ARE LOT OF HOMELESS CANADIANS, FAMILIES WHO BARELY GET BY. TRUDEAU DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADIAN WE KNOWS THIS TO BE FACT BY HIS ACTION AND HOW HE RUN OUR PROSPEROUS COUNTRY INTO DEBT.

This wont work, Trudeau is speaking English, trump only speaks Russian

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

Cancel cnn . Trudeau blistering speech yeh ok. Clown has big balls on his way out of office. TRUMP thank you this is what we voted for . Mexico and Canada will bend over ?\nMAGA is common sense. CNN and the left well what can you say they’re clowns

Trudeau can call Pres Trump and call him,might be better than this.

This is the coorect answer from Trudeau! I belive, that the USA will have no president-elections in 3 1/2 years. Trump will rise a dicatorship. He signed the same dicrets who Hitler signed in 1933. Belive me: I'm from Germany. We europeans know of many dictaroships (faschism, comunism). Hope, the US will be democtratic. Before, many european countries will boycott US-products. It will be hard for the USA. Mr. Musk losed 15 Bio. $ with his car-facories in the last weeks in Europe.

Drama teacher is always drama teacher. Trump can place tariffs at any time. Canada must stop rely on USA for everything. Grow up! Yes, we need to reply with the tariffs as well, but stop making your drama as usual. Trudeau, go away and let Poilievre negotiate a deal with Trump. Stop wasting the Canadian taxpayers money and pretend you care. Trump is not a Russian friend. He is keeping us away from the 3rd world war. The war in Ukraine must to stop.

The Village Idiot, Trudeau, versus the City Idiot, Trump. This is going to get interesting.

Trudeau acts like tough guy in front of media then goes back to licking Trump’s boots behind the scenes. I’m sure he called Trump after this meeting and agreed to everything Trump wanted him to do.

Funny how many brainwashed people say tyrant Trudeau is a hero now. Disgusting. People are missing the point Trudeau and globalist will take all your freedoms. Trump is against all tyrants

We are with you Trudeau. We need our true American allies to rise up and get Trump out asap!! The White house is ruining America , the people and the World got their own self gain. Meanwhile Katy Perry is going into space or the oscars are going on . Ypu could not make it up.

We stand with you Prime Minister Trudeau - this is all about Trump he is un-American and a complete disgrace. He is trying to hurt all Americans and our Allies

Trudeau , the lib tard. Trump wouldn't pick you for his team on the play ground and your mad.

TRUMP TRUDEUA 2016.... Trudeau inherited a strong economy from Harper. No talk of tariffs destroying Canada. It took a decade of poor liberal leadership.. to get Canada to the point that he's right.. tariffs woudl destroy Canada. That is what a decade of liberal/democrat leadership does to Canada's economy. Trudeau is a weak leader. His strongest points were thrownig not one, not two, but THREE women, three ELECTED EXPERIENCED WOMEN... telling them to step aside. A MAN FROM WEF IS COMING THROUGH! Carney's greatest strength will be stepping over the political corpses of women so an UNELECTED INEXPERIENCED MAN can lead.

Canada will lose this. Trudeau can't play hardball against Trump and come out on top.

CANADIANS ARE REASONABLE, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS THE LUNATIC.\nJUSTIN WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR GOING IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS IT TO END.\nJUSTIN IS A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. AS FOR A TRADE WAR, THIS IS NOT A TRADE WAR. TRUMP IS BRINGING THE WORK BACK TO NORTH AMERICA. TRUDEAU THE GLOBALIST WANTS TO KEEP MAKING A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP WEALTHY.\nWE PAID 7 % PST BEFORE FREE TRADE. 15 % AFTER.\nTHATS NOT FREE TRADE. CANADIANS NOW PAY CHINAS TARIFFS.\nMULROONEY GAVE BUSH SRS EULOGY. WHO SOLD CANADA OUT TO GLOBALISTS. THE BUSH FAMILY CHASED ROSS PEROT OFF.

Why doesn't CNN talk about Prime Minister Trudeau's belief of why Trump is doing this?

I'm glad Canada amped up their border to STOP ? illegal drugs and immigrants who traffick them.....\nPresident Trump's really going to have to have another meeting with Trudeau.....\nThat's how you keep the peace ✌️

Trump is lashing out at Trudeau, Macron, NATO and the EU because they all laughed at him. \nTough man Trump can't handle being laughed at. \nAmerican's will pay the price for Trump's massive inferiority complex.

Interestin!, Trump aligns with Putin, and Trudeau has been aligned with China. What's the difference?

As a Canadian a citizen ,I am more than angry ,I am ashamed and embarrassed at the Trudeau government ! All the liberals needed to do is fix borders and take care of the devastation safe supply sites which Canadian citizens have been calling for ,for years !! Disgusting ! United States have been friends and neighbours throughout most of Canadian history and this selfish greedy corrupted PM just destroyed all of it for nothing but to impose himself on the seat since we are going to war ! Detestable! Trudeau is the threat to Canadians not Trump ! ??????❤️and remember this clown Trudeau is suppose to be stepping down in the coming days ! Think about how selfish and careless these liberals are !

Trump made Trudeau look like a statesman. Great achievement

Trudeau is kinda a joke, but I’d vote for him over trump any day. Trump is an absolute disgrace, and I’m still upset that kid couldn’t aim for shit

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Well said Mr. Trudeau. I come from Germany and would like to support Canada. An appeal to the German government: import more Canadian products.\n\nOh, and by the way: how many languages ​​does Mr. Trump actually speak?

I think Trump just doesn’t like Justin Trudeau and wants to get rid of him

Trudeau acts like a real Leader not like Felon Rapist tRump Rise Up America get rid of tRump by force

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

Why is Trudeau citing everything Trump did, just to be left alone. This is what it had to take to finally get the Canadians to further help the fight against evil.

Well done Trudeau and Canada. trump is a cancer on the planet and only idiots support him

Prime Minster Trudeau, I am sorry, Trump is an idiot!

Um, harsh language? From Trudeau? Compared to Trump? Tough language.

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

One disagreement Mr Trudeau: Trump is “very smart guy”? Nope. He certainly is “clever” which is what delineates smart from “criminal con man”. Clever is what he uses for his grift, with American citizens and the national stage as his target market, to line his pockets along with the pockets of his cronies, the ultra rich. The bright note is that there is a huge collective of Americans who see Trump for what he is. We are NOT supportive of any of this nonsense since 1/20/2025. Musk/Trump/Vance are an embarrassment we did not vote for. We stand with Ukraine, Canada, and Mexico who echo normal reason.

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

What a dumb ass. And liar. Funny when you say he’s “blistering” and then say Trump says something the opposite. First time in a long time we have a president that is actually fighting for his citizens. Trudeau is a phony pos

Bravo Prime Ministet Trudeau. 11:43 Trump is like a bully in the playground. Its nice to hear well thought explanations and strength.

Go Trudeau!!!\nWhat you'd make of that Trump, you fat orange faced crook.

Trudeau is exactly right, tRump has decided to hurt the people of the US, whether you voted for him or not. Canada is exactly right to react as they have, not just tariffs but all the boycotts they have started.\nThank you Canada for all your past support as we hope that we can return to being a good neighbor to you one day soon!
