So, since January illegal flow of drugs from Canada to USA dropped 97%. So my question is, why it didn't happen until President Trump acted? Yes, exactly. President Trump is the best.

Trump and Vance are two morons and should be removed from office it USA is to prosper.

I think this is because of the free amount of billions you get from the USA with nothing in return. Nothing so why should we help! Why is some of your government talking to Trump privately about joining the USA as another state. I believe this will happen!

Well. Based ON THEIR WORD Trump paused the tariffs because of promises made ...... Just like Mexico they said they would secure their borders to help stop the flow if illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs and terrorists into the USA... THEY DID NOT. China did nothing to crack down on fentanyl being smuggled out of their country (although I think they would rather see American people die of overdoses. When Trump says he going to do something he does it.. no more Biden woosie politics.

Putin despises Canada. Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Canada supports Ukraine. Trump works for Putin. Buckle up USA! You were warned.

16 min mark.. What harsh language is she talking about? ? USA absolutely brainwashed.. Harsh would be to call Trump a foking twat ?

China has imposed a 25% tariff on the USA, which will have consequences due to Trump's aggressive moves. He thinks governing is like running a business, but the world doesn't work that way. Trump is not helping the USA but will make life more complex, and a few years later, Americans will realize.

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

Trump stopped culture of loot of usa ....usa convincing russia to isolate china ,europe with terriff was not giving market to usa but in nato made usa to spend entirely.right now china is threat to usa and winning russia is very important .i am indian hindu can see this

Good luck USA, make America great looser again?? Trump will be one making the money and US poor will go more poorer and Oligarchs will surely take over US.

Dear Canadian neighbors. \n I apologize for our crazy Karen’s trump and musk. \n Please be patient. \n I think we will both come through this in the long run. \n You are so lucky to have a President who cares for ALL OF YOU. \n A REAL MAN, not a BULLY. \n This will indeed be tough times for all of us. \n God Bless God Speed\n from USA

For some reason Trump has it in his head that if he bankrupts The North American continent, except for the USA, it’ll bolster the USA power. How he came to this conclusion I don’t know??

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

And now there’s word that Trump might “meet Canada and Mexico” half way and re evaluate the tarrifs. He’s gonna do this because “he’s a fair guy” and the craziness of it is that it’s a crisis he created. It’s like setting houses on fire and taking credit when you put the fire out. I don’t care what Trump’s move is next, I am done with USA. Can not and will not trust them until Tump is gone.

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Let us join EU, China and Russia, instead of USA. Who care Trump ?

Trump has made sure that USA is not credible. We do feel bad for the Americans that did not vote for him but it will only get worse… Trump and Putin are in bed together.

what has your problems got to do with Russia.......? you should focus on Canada and your work with the US. Remember Trump is on the scene to help USA - not you.

USA citizens stands by Canada ?? ~ impeach Trump

USA must remove Trump. He doesn't know shit about foreign policies for USA influences.

Trump is one of those people thatbwants to watch the world burn and know he caused it.. only one month in ? ...if he lasts his term hes going to have the usa so screwed up and everyone hungry broke and no more allies ... and the americans will watch it happen and cheer..

La Russie s'empare de l'Ukraine et d'une partie de l'Europe avec la complicité de Trump, lui il va s'emparer du Canada après l'avoir asphyxié économiquement, du Groenland et bien entendu de l'Amérique du Sud ou déjà son ami nazi Musk a financé la campagne du président d'extrême droite nazi Milei! \nEt pour couronner le tout, Trump abandonne les Taïwanais en espérant que les plus grosses entreprises qui fabriques les microprocesseurs s'installerons aux USA en laissant derrière eux une population aux mains des chinois !\nBienvenu dans le monde merveilleux du fascisme et du nazisme capitaliste made in USA et un grand merci à ses sponsors, Tesla, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, des marques et des réseaux sociaux à boycotter donc, car l'argent est bien le nerf de la guerre !!!\nDe France, Slava Ukraini ?? ??❤

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

Thank you very much Donald Trump is a dictator he's with Putting He is not my president my God is my president Get ready USA you're in for a big one

From the USA: Not everyone here follows a dictator even though he somehow managed to get a second term. Even worse than Trump are the people who still follow him. SORRY Canada...

As long as Trump is in Canadians are done with USA! Tout Fini !!!

USA will definitely go down by Trump and Co.

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

Impeach Trump and all our troubles go away.Trump is a Russian “plant”. I believe it started during Putins first visit to the USA 20/30 years ago!\n\nI watched Trump the first time Putin visited the US and was on tv -Trump was in aw of Putin ( a murdering Thug). I truly believe Trump is a plant for Putin. He should be impeached immediately! Trump is fan of Putin a murdering thug. Trump is must go!

I hope y’all who voted for Trump are proud of yourselfs. And thank goodness I am not living in the USA.

So you telling me that because Trump put tariffs in play, Canada in an uproar if it’s such an issue cut all ties with the USA and broker a deal with another country.

PM pronounces his claim so clearly to USA and D. TRUMP.

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

Come on USA, stand up to Trump! Strength in numbers

Trump just wants you to secure your border to prevent fentanyl operation and coming into usa...but you are so stubborn to do that.

Trump smart????? LMAO!!!!! Trump speaks and writes at a 3rd-7th grade level according to language and writing analysis experts. He's had so many typos and grammatical errors in his social media posts it would be laughable if not for the fact he's the President of the USA. It's not a mystery the dumbest people in this country voted for him.

Welcome to trump fueled USA w supremacy Mr. Trudeau

First economic war then a military invasion. I believe the Americans are setting the stag for a ground invasion of Canada using the escalating trade war as a pretext for a real war. I think everyone needs to consider the possibility that Trump may in fact be an agent of Russia with a single mission to bring down the USA and her allies.

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

TRUMP IS A MORON!!! Trump hates America and I believe he is an agent for russia and has been for decades!! We have to stop him! He is the MOST EVIL, and the BIGGEST LIAR the world has EVER SEEN! The USA is in BIG trouble! ???

Trump is purposefully destroying the USA economy. Ask yourself, what he has to personally gain from doing so! Disconnecting the country from its allies and trading partners and their economies will tank the economy. Again, ask yourself, if you wanted to destroy the economy and the government, what are the steps would you take?

F@ck Trump! It’s like having a crazy Roman Emperor in charge of the USA ??

It look likes Trump is destroying the USA from within. This must be the big dream of all the opponents of the free countries..

I was glad that not too long ago... Trump actually did say the truth to the American people: Canada imports 95% of it's goods from the USA... with us refusing to buy American, with all of us buying Canadian or International products instead... how will he be making America great again ?? By bankrupting the country ?? Does he thinks that 25% tariffs will make Canadians shake in their pants and all of a sudden want to be the 51st State ?? No, it's just like bringing us back to the days before NAFTA. We were able to live back then and we will be able to now as well.

Trump is 100000% an Agent for Russia Putin. Putin is using his lab-dog to disrupt the US and its allies. There’s never been a President in the USA that’s unhinge and unstable.

Trump is not with Russia he never said that ,that's you saying that he is trying to make it fair you and other countries been taking advantage of USA for ever. We will survive

Trump want the division between the USA and all of our traditional long term allies. However, Trump is doing exactly what Putin desires. Trump only answers to Putin. People wake up and stop acting like Trump is not a communist dictator.

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.
