So damn angry! And very upset for the many that voted for that idiot. I hate we all have to be on the dang boat together because we all live here. \n\nSorry to a Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Truly disappointed we are ruining alliances.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

I truly believe that Trump was so incensed about losing the second term, and knowing that this is his last term, he's intentionally sending America into a recession. It's out of spite. With Trump, it's always out of spite. Think about it. Jan 6. Cutting federal employees to the extent that American families suffer. Medicare/Medicaid, Consumer financial Protection, Department of Defence, Department of Education, the FAA, and it continues. Nobody can be that dumb.

You are a truly amazing leader pm treasure and I’m proud that I chooses to work and stay here in the land of opportunity..I’m just sad that u resigned but then u contributed a lot to your nation

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Thank you so much Mister Prime Minister Trudeau. I truly wish you can stay our Prime Minister! You’re a boss?

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

I stand with Canada! Our votes truly don’t matter at this point. Can’t believe how our history has changed for the worst now!

Sorry unfortunately Americans voted him back, I truly truly apologize from the other half who never wanted him back but we lost.

... the new Warsaw Pact (USA & Russia) ... the new reality ... PREDICTION: Trump will be impeached within a year ... nobody truly realized to date how dangerous and unstable this man is ... early onset dementia would be a good guess

The US truly has a rogue president. Good luck guys. It's going to be a wild ride and none of us have any idea what the destination is

What Trump is doing is smoke and mirrors. He thinks these news reports from CNN are fake news. These things are distrations. He thinks his followers believe he is truly making America great. The Nazis are running, i mean ruining this country

It is truly a loser speech

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

How truly sad and disgusted I am at Trump's attack on Canada, Mexico and all his allies. It is beyond comprehension that Trump is being allowed by the Congress and the Senate to trample on the Allies of the USA. I am in Australia and I feel the concern and the pain being suffered by Canadians, historically the like us, alllies of the USA, because of the treachery and betrayal by the USA, whilst supporting despots like Putin in its attacks on our democratic way of life. We are in dangerous times indeed. Where we end up only God knows. I know onr thing for sure God is not on the side of the USA in its treachery.

This is surreal. Canada? Our enemy? Seriously? Only donald could create a situation this absurdly backwards. I truly believe he wants his legacy to be damaging America beyond repair just to prove he can do it.

Trump is ruining America and its allies……truly sad and then HE supports Putin who would in a second kill Trump and then brag about it.

Prime Minister Trudeau is a real leader, calm, polite, intelligent and well spoken. Unfortunately, many americans do not see Donnie and vnace as real nor reasonable leaders.\n\nEdit: I truly hope that people like General Clark look really close at the inofrmation that came out that Donnie is actually a russia asset and groomed to have been for decades.

Wolf how the hell are still feeding the world your filthy lies how do you sleep at night wonder what the good lord above thinks of all your fake filthy lies that truly affect people that aren’t smart enough to know you are fake news.

WEF Puppet and tin pot dictator. I hope his people remember what he did to the truckers. \n\nTrump is putting his country first just like our wet behind the ears prime minister Two-Tier-Kier should be doing instead of spaffing our tax money up the wall. All of you who sat in London are a disgrace. You think you can wage war with Russia risk putting us into world war 3 and win, but I suggest, no longer are your screws just loose, but they have fallen out completely. The lunatics truly have taken over the asylum as they deliberately seek the great reset regardless of the cost of millions of lives. ?

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

Congratulations to Trump. He has sought out to apparently “put America first”. But all it appears he is accomplishing is galvanising the rest of the free world against the United States. My sincerest apologies to the American people you have been truly led astray

The orange face Nazi is truly trying to destroy the poor and middle class citizens of America and all over the world. \nTrump is a walking genocide. \nThank you MAGA you f”ing ignorant fool's.

It’s hard to truly put into words how hard it is to be an American right now who doesn’t agree with our government’s actions. I’m honestly just so sad.

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

Even if it was about fentanyl, how would they know or prove that tariffs worked to curb its supply? It can’t be done. So are they going to pretend it helped to make Trump look good? Or is this truly what it appears to be. Putin successfully dividing and conquering. Scary af times.

Well, looks like the only people who truly suffer are you, me , Canadian people and Mexican people. Well done ?

That’s a True Leader! Donny Boy’s days are truly limited one would think But nothing has been like this until now. His ties with Putin go back to the 80’s. He’s a Narcissist! \nProud of our Northern neighbors.

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

I would have never thought that USA and Russia would go against the world. \n\nNow, I truly believe that Russia has something on Trump!!!!

We need help ridding us of the Orange Buffoon in the White House. Most of us side with Canada now and are embarrassed by the truly ignorant ass named trump

I agree, this isn't about Fentanyl. I'm starting to think it's more about putting such a wedge between the U.S. and Canada that Trump will feel emboldened to do whatever it takes to take over Canada, making it the 51st state, after all. I know that sounds ridiculous, but tell me when he truly HASN'T been ridiculous!

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

Love that simple statement;” make that make sense”. As an American that is what I have been trying to do since his first presidency. I am truly sorry to all Canadians for this buffoon and his ignorance. I have no reasoning for those that had voted him in to office A SECOND TIME!!!!

I don’t really understand why we placed tariffs on Canada of all places. Maybe because Trudeau is a corrupt pushover? I don’t think that’s a reason to punish all Canadians, you guys have truly been our greatest ally ~and American Infantry Veteran

I want to move to Canada. Australia lacks leadership—we truly need a leader like Justin Trudeau.

TRUMP IS UNFIT, UNQUALIFIED, AND VERY BAD FOR AMERICA! His Cabinet is ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED! His Administration Truly Are A BASKET OF DEPLORABLES UNWORTHY OF FREEDOM!

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

The dumb ass fact Trump TRULY believes Elon can save the U.S.A is the VERY REASON we WILL need SAVING! ???‍♀️ ALL BECAUSE CERTAIN ONES DIDN’T WANT TO SEE A BLACK WOMAN GENUINELY TRY WITH ALL HER MITE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER UNSELFISHLY! ?

Americans act surprised that Trump has already gone rogue…ignorance truly is bliss…so many Americans will lose their jobs because of these tariffs…Trump has yet to address the fall out of his actions… times are very scary.

More inflation isn't going to affect most of us. We've already had so much that we can't afford anything anyway. If a house already costs a million dollars who cares if it goes up to 100 million. Is truly not worth working during this period of time until work pays a living again. I'm at the point I'd rather go live off the land on a commune

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

Everyone who voted for Trump is truly a nobrain and should never get kids.

From Italy, i stand with Canada , EU and Ukraine. The US has been hijaked by a foreign asset that is doing anything in his power to destroy US economy and relations , any other American president than truly want the best for his nation wouldn't act like this, that's EXACTLY what US adversaries want.\nHopefully the remaining non brainwashed Americans act soon and stop this national security threat before it's too late.

His tone of voice is truly insufferable

This is so unreal ? This is truly the path to destruction and Trump and First Gentleman Elon are leading the way. The red states are going to suffer the most.

How do we stop the fuhrer?? I truly do not know, and obviously the Republicans can't get their brown noses out of..........So as their spines crumble, and their noses grow longer, THEY will only repeat the fuhrer's tired bigoted words over and over and nauseum. So...what do we DO?
