As an American I am so embarrassed for what President Trump is doing. He is HURTING all our relationships with our allies. I'm beginning to think electing President Trump will be in history as the biggest mistake citizens made.

What in this world did USA expect. trump the person that performed lewd acts on a microphone. 34 counts convicted felon. trump is trying to hurt America. Make there be no mistake about. Look how musk is taking a chainsaw against American Vets that work in the government. Then displayed an act with a chainsaw on national TV like it is a funny joke. trump is pitiful. A menace and a criminal. 6 times bankruptcy business fool. And there are so many other foul acts trump has taking against the American people. All I can say is seat back and feel the pain trump has and still will cause our country.

Make no mistake this liberal dictatorship Wants these tariffs. Who collects all of the money on the US goods that do Get bought up in Canada. Trudeau and his cronies are salivating at all the money that they’re gonna have coming in And he couldn’t give a crap about the average Canadian

what's going on in the US is just messed up. I know the American people don't stand behind this, but they elected this dangerous clown. Own your mistakes and make things right, you're responsible.

Congratulation on the people that voted for Donald Trump Big mistake

I want to become a Canadian (america has gone 2shiz..it was in the process of goin 2shiz 8 yrs ago which led 2 most of america 2 make sure a 2nd round of idiocy will not hapoen again.. that is until 4 months ago, where the majority of Americans had a contagious case of amnesia..which in result the consequence of this HUGE mistake a majority of Americans made in November is going to cost us immensely..strap up and boot up ppl its going 2get more than bumpy BRACE URSELVES

“Trump knows he made a mistake with the tariffs, but his pride want allow him to admit it.”

Excellent speech, PM Trudeo we are watching from United Kingdom, and President Trump is making the biggest mistake. American public needs to raise a voice.

The only good speech and common sense Tradeu has ever given make no mistake hes a bad leader and most of canadian hate him... but in the time of need a country most stick together... hopefully now he focus on fixing things with US and stop taxing middle and lower class people

Uh oh... 50% tariffs for calling Donald stupid. He is a very sensitive guy, big mistake!

Time will only tell If Americans made the mistake of electing Trump.

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

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.

It seems like I have made the biggest mistake of my life to vote for Trump. He's a threat to everyone on this planet.

Making a mistake by validating the BS lie via stating everything that Canada is doing against fentanyl. “Don’t wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty and the pig likes it”. \n\nDumb Americans don’t understand what 1.3 B $ border plan is, they don’t know if that is enough and you’re placing yourself in a position of 1) recognizing the problem as legitimate, and 2)“are you doing enough”. Call it for what it is, bullshit - It was never about safety and fentanyl was a lame unfounded excuse. Know your audience, don’t fall into the Trump trap and speak in simple terms.

That is their first mistake. Donald is NOT a smart man. He never has been.

That's a great speach by Prime-Minister of Canada.\n\nTrump made a mistake to start trade war against friends. Russia is a foe of the US, but Trump loves Putin. Why Donald stays his feelings on the top instead America, Freedom and Democracy???

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

Stop talking, start a war, if you're a man, start a war, Canada, you're not a bad person, you're the same as women, less tanks, less mistakes, if you can't do it, Canada, you're gay, I'll just say one thing, stop taraffs, you're okay, you're the same as Trump, corporate Canada

good job Justin thank you for showing the fools across the border how government should work, the orange man just likes to blame others for his mistakes he should look in his backyard cleaning up his problems but instead he has to make everything he is doing seem good its ALL about him they should have a kindergarten kid stand in for him they would do a better job of running their country

Canada we don't need yal. Canada alway get billions from America. Bye. Canada wasn't a country until all the countries invested billions every year into a program. Canada is a experiment. Drugs come across your borders look up all the evidence. You started yesterday on securing the borders? Why? Because of the 25% tariffs, right? Why your government didn't start before the tariffs? But you mad because you didn't stick to your word ,7 years ago about securing the borders. You playing mind games to the people who lack education. But people do read government documents. You waited til the 25% tariffs started. Take accountability for Canada government mistakes.

I am American and so many of us love Canada and Trudeau! Unfortunately people are realizing they made a big mistake voting for Trump! This nation is in so much trouble and for the first time in my life I am afraid of what’s ahead for us.

Canada's biggest mistake is thinking America was ever an ally.

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Trudeau was wearing a suit. That's a great mistake. :)

We the people didn’t vote for this Clown . It was just a big mistake. We stand with Canada and Ukrainian

Trump is a big mistake for American. After 4 years in office, US will regret voting Donald Trump.\nThis is not the way to make US great. Imagine putting fights in all ur allies. That is a wrong fight. Change ur useless policies or US will go down in history from great nation to isolated nation. No nation can suceed alone. America is great today because of other nations. Time will tell

Make NO MISTAKE...ALL of Canada is pissed right off\n This will not go away any time soon.

Stop allowing drugs and illegals enter the USA! America does not do that to your country! The tariffs should pay for your mistakes!

The American people have made their choice. Now the rest of the world will make theirs. Electing Trump the first time was a mistake. Electing him again was catastrophically foolish.

Canada is going to be America Soon. Good Luck . You have destroyed your people long enough. Daddy needs to fix your decades of mistakes.

DT is un pendejo....he thinks is smart by doing this as we the citizens are going to pay for the mistakes he is doing against his ally countries. what smart he think he is\n...he very changes these stupids things is doing. ???

Wow! So many awesome comments of support, from around the world! This Canadian thanks you. \nMany of us are proud of our outgoing PM. He made some financial mistakes, maybe a bit TOO liberal, but there are also many detractors who I fear are caught up with the same hyperbole that captivated (and fooled) too many Americans; I hope this is a good lesson for them. \nWe will continue to stand on guard, for ourselves, and for what the world wants us to be❤

Make no mistake. Felon's out to destroy the USA.

and the best part of this shit show is the demented mango idiot will NEVER admit a mistake or that he's done anything stupid.......

Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

I'm with Mr. Trudeau! Thank you good sir! Make Trump pay for his mistakes! The American people will soon tell Trump and his despicable minions to take a hike. Let's pray for their wisdom.

This is all just a pretense for Trump (Not the US) to invade Canada, with the blessing of China and Russia. Make no mistake, this is an axis of evil trying to establish a new world order. This is just the beginning of the coming storm. Good luck to the free world; we’re going to need it.

Sorry for mistake - - I meant DJT with this sentence: He stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words......

Make no mistake. The Tariff talk started right after Canada's reaction to Trump's demand that Canada become the 51st state. That's what this is all about. Nothing to do with Fentynal. You can bet Putin had a hand in this as well. Well done US. You are now a Puppet State of Russia. How long before Russian replaces Spanish as the second, and then first language of the US?

“Make that make sense.”\n\nAs a US Citizen, I can’t. The US is making a mistake and is on the wrong side of history.

wow im impressed with my prime minister Justin Trudeau, he killed it mic drop moment on Donald, spoke to the american people the canadian people and launched his counter attack. I hope Donald soon realizes his mistake.

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

Maga folks, it's ok to admit when you are or have been wrong. It shows strength, and education should be a life long pursuit. Wisdom comes from mistakes. I doubt most of you really feel like he speaks for you. I really doubt you think Elon reps you.

Voting for Trump…that was a big mistake ?.

You know he’s wrong when he does nothing but describe it as “dumb”. Make no mistake the US demands were clear, and Trudeau chose to escalate this

Time to QUIT BOY and let the Conservatives REPAIR what you've damaged the last 10 years!!!\nJustin made the same mistake as dictator ZELENSKY did a few days ago...LEFTIST/ SOROS/ GLOBALIST POLITICAL CRIME GANG PUPPETS ARE FIGHTING THEIR LAST BATTLE ???

As sorry as I am for all Americans who didn't vote for Trump, I hope that America will suffer from his democratic decisions and learn from it's mistakes. Otherwise, the democratic world order could collapse.

Does Canada have a Department of Defense? The lack of respect is wild. Donald..? President Trump is the protocol. He represents the office of the United States of America. Make no mistake ask UK and Ukraine to provide defense. Pull the plug no need to be called a predator by your own neighbor... ?

You are a lying murderous dictator sir people have died from a stroke of your pen you all think your better than each other but we’ve all made mistakes and we are ready to live with the consequences that doesn’t mean we have to live with you
