Can someone explain to me how this is supposed to make groceries cheaper? I still cannot afford an omelette.

I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!\nANOTHER LIE!!!

Even before the actions taken by Canada, one should look at balance of Fentanyl illegal trade. \n \nOn average 46 lb of Fentanyl were smuggled from Canada to US , which divided by the population of the US comes to a 0.049 mg of fentanyl per US Citizen \nOn the other direction, 950 lb Fentanyl were smugeled from the from US to Canada, which when divided by the population of Canada, ends up being 10.88 mg of fentanyl per Canadian Citizen\nNow, scientists say 2 mg is a lethal dose. \nJust think about it, trump's US could kill each Canadian 5 times over by Fentanyl. \nSo who is supposed to be pissed?

Time to start feeling the the pain and power of other peoples ignorance and stupidity I suppose.

Trudeau trunp has no allies... that is the damn sad truth for the American people, too. Sad day, & yet another day I'm embarrassed to be an American. I live in this state of shock, though I shouldn't be. He's a f'n moron. I hate this man who is supposed to be the president of the UNITED STATES. He's done nothing but cause chaos everywhere. Stick it to us Trudeau, I for one do not blame you at all. It's really pissing me off. He does not know what he's doing, nor do those around him. There is no winning with this loser.

These tariffs have absolutely nothing to do with fentanyl, immigrants, or the price of tea in China...they're all about the great orange one and his march toward (supposed) world domination ?

So just so I'm clear on this, you spent the last 4 years attacking your own citizens, taking away there voices and money, and becoming the worst Canadian president in history and we are supposed to trust you?

Oh my God, this dude is supposed to be retired, he lied about that as well he’s such a knucklehead, murderer, scammer, liar.

I still can't believe that we are being attacked by our best ally. The country that is supposed to represent freedom. The US administration is behaving worse than Russia. The EU and North American allies have been abandoned and assaulted. The vacating of the leadership position in the free world will be taken advantage of by other countries. How much damage has to be done?\n\nTo the Canadian government: Open maximum trade to the EU and friendly countries in Asian the short fall must be attempted to be spanned.

Canada is more like the America that America is supposed to be

Seems like Trudeau has a lot of power for somebody that supposedly resigned.

I don't think too highly of Trudeau since the freezing of protestors bank accounts, but this is a great example of how leaders are supposed to behave and communicate. Hats off.

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!!!

what a time to be alive. USA wants to be alone, let them do that. I know Trudeau is hated in Canada, but god damn is he 100x a leader than what Dumb is supposed to be

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

Anti-Americanism? What???? That’s totally crap! It’s the right answer to your Pig IlliterateTrump President Threatening who are supposed your allieds; you declared war to the Free World, not us! ??

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

Trudeau has spent the last 9 years destroying Canada. He is supposedly on his way out. Most of Canada want him gone the guy was a drama teacher that lost his job for an inappropriate relationship with a minor. He arranged a NDA for a couple of million. All Americans see is his hair and his speaking ability. You can’t believe any of the word salad out of his mouths. Canada’s most corrupt PM ever.

You calling him “Donald” is a declaration of war. You were supposed to say something like “your excellency greatest president in history of the world Donald Trump”

Bravo Justin Trudeau now that's how a leader of a Country is suppose to speak to the Country and the world and to Donald himself!!!

As an American, I applaud you Trudeau. \nStand up to The Moron!\ntrump, supposedly, bankrupted his Casinos. And that is suppose to be hard to do. Casinos always make money.\nBut, trump did it.

I thought they was supposed to vote this guy out

To Canada, America is in debt, how are we supposed to fix it? Nothing stays the same.

Trudeau was supposed to secure the border of fentanyl trafficking he did not do this \nIt's his fault if we get tariffs

Man ! so refreshing to have a leader that doesn't get up on the podium and name call or throw tantrums. It feels like what politics is actually supposed to be: Civil and cordial. THANKYOU Trudeau !

DO NOT GET RID OF MY INTERNET ( starlink )!!! not unless you have a better alternative for me to have high-speed Internet. \nTrump is trying to set himself up and America so that they are truly the only superpower of the world that needs nobody and no connection to any other country and they dictate everything across the globe. \nThat I suppose is one way of trying to do things, but it’s going to alienate the United States from the majority of the world, and will bring China closer to everyone else. And most obvious is these lining everything up for a civil war

Let me get this straight. Im supposed to take this seriously? CNN + Trudeau = zero credibility. I thought this loser resigned.

Go awayyyyyy!!!! Weren’t you supposed to be gone by now?!

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

This clown was supposed to leave his position yet still there to hurt Canada

Not blistering enough. By saying that fentanyl is the “supposed legal reason” for tariffs, what he really means is that these tariffs are a criminal act.

??????the tariffs were supposed to get our taxes to almost none existent and Trump hasn't gotten any of that done . It's Bull poop. Lower taxes or drop tarrifs Now

This is gonna hurt the whole world and that’s what all the intentions are. He is a control monger. I hate to disappoint him. We all come on the Earth, the same way kicking peeing pooping ourselves with nothing guess what we leave the Earth the same way. Nothing makes anybody better than anyone else and until the people on this planet learned that this is gonna go on and on because this shit you don’t learn from it. It just continues to come every 40 years or so. We’re supposed to learn from our history, not repeat it. It’s ridiculous.

Isn't this fkn guy supposed to step down

Everyone in this comment section is so stupid. \n\nThis guys was supposed to step down??

Who is this guy anyhow wasn't he supposed to step down dont be a moron and comment that he's a good leader look in the mirror you may see a turd.

When is this guy gonna disappear? Supposedly, in 9 days he was supposed to leave. When is this guy gonna leave jesus

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

Trudeau is nothing and nobody to us. He's not our Prime Minister. Remember when he supposedly stepped down? Then he shut down the government and removed all checks and balances and accountability. You're in bad shape if you have to pull this doofus up to take a swipe at your own president. Why don't you report on what this weak puppet has done to his own country.

I though he was supposed to step down for being inept

He is Dumb and it not a Smart Move, This is\n Not Going to End Well What Helll is That \n Suppose to Mean The Drama if it all and still every day\nPeople Suffer ??? Very Sad Only

isnt he supposed to be gone? Why is he talking

LMAO I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS SUPPOSE TO BE RESPECTED??? HES A FUCKING LAUGHING STOCK TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY PUTIN

As we age as human being we are supposed to be wiser in our nature for decisions we make in our life and to the ones whom we lead BUT NOT donald trump his brain functions like a toilet the more it gets flushed the more it becomes better in sucking all that's thrown in it and yet the toilet is better than his brain at least it takes care of our business.

As an American I am so disheartened about things going on at the White House. A lot of us didn’t vote for this mess and their stupidness. I am so unhappy and disgusted. Donald Trump needs to be in jail not sitting in White House being a demanding bully. This is a nightmare, the last 2 months have been a nightmare. Look how elegant Canda, Mexico and Pres Zelensky are being. He was suppose to be making America great again. What a joke!

Why is he still speaking why is he still relevant he's not even supposed to be there, he resigned. He needs to learn that definition and go back to being a teacher so he can learn more

So, we are supposed to take the advice of someone who is bankrupting his own country? No thanks…

This is a mess for the USA……I Thought “someone” was supposed to be making America great again

If Donald doesn't go foward with this plan, how else is he supposed to help Putin destroy America??

WHY? \n1. The USA starting expanding NATO even though we said we would NOT (Thank Clinton)\n2. We did it again even though Russia said please don't (Thank Bush)\n3. Putin supposedly meet with a international group of news reporters to complain about. (I never heard that in the News did you?)\n4. We then said we were considering to except Ukraine into NATO. (Kinda like a Russian version of our Cuban Missile Crisis)\n5. Russia's Military is not equal so cant use that against threat but Russia is very good at Internet attacks. (2016 Russia attacked our Election and got Trump Elected)\n6. We did pretty much nothing about Russia attacking our Election, and they continued to attack our election in 2020 and 2024 (Why do you think Trump favors Russia)\n7. DOJ and Judicial System failed us in not prosecuting Trump in a timely matter. (When the Supreme Court is rigged we all fall down)\n\nGood luck to all the good people out there.\nGod save us
