And the latest from Trump now is that he is upset about Canada countering with tariffs, calling Trudeau for governor of Canada, another 51st state reference? is that he could increase the tariffs on Canada. Mr Trump, you fool, what goes around comes around.

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

Listen to Trudeau speech and Trumps repeated sentence as if it is a speech that is the difference of well educated people.

Trudeau is personally involved with the Fentanyl trade. That’s why propping up bills and “plans” will never be enough. Trump knows this.\n\nHe’ll never be out of the drug game until he’s removed. Neither will his puppet “drug czar”\n\nWe’re calling for the dismantling of the trade. That’s going to get messy. When we see that, tariffs come down. \n\nUntil they make big busts of the industry portion of making fentanyl and the banks laundering the cartel money the tariff stays.

What would make Canadian conservatives not be pro Trump? And/or not blame Trudeau and the center/left of center Canadian national government? Don’t they think that a Conservative PM would react the same way Trudeau is reacting?

Smart guy Trudeau. Knows how to appeal to Trump with the biggest lie of all time: you are a smart man ?

Trump is not smart at all, he is dumb and dumb people do dumb things. Prime Minister Trudeau is very polite to Trump.

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

I despise Trump fiercely and, I'm Canadian, and I strongly dislike Trudeau....but I love his response. \nWe owe Trump for one thing:\nOther than his mindless minions here, he's united Canada more than we have been for a long time.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

Fd up Trudeau. smh\nMark them up to 50% Mr. Trump

Im Canadian....not that I agree with the tariffs, but this POS Trudeau has shut down government the last 2 months. Nothing is getting done. He has time to fly to Ukraine but no time to sit down and hammer out a deal with the USA. He has caused all the issues Trump has complained about. He has destroyed our country from within. He is the worst neighbor a country can ask for. Weak leadership. Porous unsecure border. Weakest military of any first world nation. And a disciple of China. He is ALL OUR ENEMY!

This my immature, uneducated, and foolish countrymen that voted for Trump is what a leader is. Zelensky, Trudeau, Marcon, Cholz, even Starmer are leaders. Trump and Putin are leaders of fear, hatred, rhetoric, lies, murder, and nepotism on their highest forms.

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

I cannot stand Trudeau... but this is one of the best speeches he's made... well, apart from calling Trump 'smart' ! Putin must be having a giggle fit over this stupidity.\nTrump is a traitor to the USA and its people ?

Trudeau is an idiot...unlike Trudeau, President Trump WAS honestly elected by the American people.

With all due respect, Trudeau is a JOKE. He is out due to screwing with our economy. He is looking Good at the moment due to Trump (lets be honest even putin looking better than trump right now). That being said Tradeau is gone! We will have a conservative government that is going tougher on USA if this continues. \n\nI rather due buisines with USA and mexico, then take it to China, russia or any other country.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Obviousely, Trudeau talk to the American people first to explain the situation.\nHe knows that it's absolutely useless to convince Trump during 15 minutes : he knows Trump is totally insane and dumb and can't understand one real argument!

And as usual everyone immediately goes after Trump before you see any results. As Trump tries to save money for American citizens for some reason liberals are against it. Trump did a pretty good job the last time he was in office so give him a chance. Trudeau is on his way out so I don’t particularly care what he has to say. He’s more in line with a Bernie Sanders than a Conservative.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

Good to see Trudeau set the tone cos Mexico needs to set the same tone and the EU should be equally harsh in its terms. Trump is starting a trade war with Allies while cozying up to Putin. Putin must be laughing watching this. How much the world has changed for Putin. Trump is doing everything Putin wants and more.

Trump will not stop until Trudeau is out.

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

Good for trudeau. Trump is attacking his allies and his people cause he's a coward. He won't attack the real evil cause he's afraid. All he wants to do is make the rich richer. Why can't the people see it. This is how dangerous trump is.

Trudeau, please invade the USA and rescue us from Trump.

President Trudeau- Thank you for standing to Trump when our own politicians won't. ❤

Whatever leader Melania thinks is cute Trump hates. If Trudeau was a good-looking woman Trump would want to be best friends

Trudeau makes Trump look like a spoiled little child. Trudeau looks really strong here. Trump looks looks like a joke.

From the Netherlands ,well spoken Prime Minister Trudeau , A rusian puppet in the White House , Your soldiers and the other allies liberated us from the Nazies 80 years ago ,we respected the US presidents from then on , but this Trump started floting due to lack of weight. Lets hope the Us peoples can solve this before it is to late. Tank you President Trudeau for speaking frankly the thruth.

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

Well done Trudeau, just be strong and beat this immoral Trump and his team! Trump and his team are the traitors, heavy traitors of all the democratic countries in the world!

As a Canadian, I share the opinion of about 80% of our country. Trudeau is a clown, and after 10 years of him destroying our country, we can't wait for him to be gone. The stuff he is saying about the flow of drugs is not accurate. Just like everything he does, the moves he has made to fight the drug trade are just theatre, with very little results. I don't like Trump, but he is correct about the drug issues we have up here.

We don't want this either Mr Trudeau, but I don't blame you. I'm with you on your side. and hopefully, my people will be on your side since Mr. Trump fooled the American people. We pray for everyone plus the Canadians. God be with you and everyone else.

Trudeau is a Pure Little Boy Dictator. FJB and Bidenomics and the Democratic Cult. Thank you President Trump ?????.

It's worth noting that Trudeau did not say that Trump was smart, he was citing the Wall Street Journal. I'd bet that Trudeau's estimation is a little more restrained.

TRUDEAU’s government has made Canada more vulnerable than ever before! Trudeau has scared away investment, carbon tax has chased away industry to non-carbon tax countries. Canada’s over dependence on the USA market and cancelling pipelines has left us without alternative trading partners! Trudeau has destroyed Canada a lot more than Trump!

Trump's still pissed Melania was all over Trudeau the last time she saw him. She actually wanted his kisses unlike her husbands....... lmao

Like him or not, Trudeau is just and right. Trump seem like a spoiled 6th grader. The whole world (minus dictators) sees Canada as strong and intelligent. Trump is weak.

Sorry, Trudeau is wrong, Trump not a smart guy.

I didnt vote for trump, i didnt vote for any of this, and Trudeau is now gonna take it out on me… yay… f u all

Premier Trudeau, please realize that Trump does not speak for the vast majority of the people of the USA!!! We love Canada and we love the people of Canada and we love to visit your beautiful Country!!! So please remember that Trump was elected based on lies and a minority of our citizens!!!

How does the War end Trudeau, without taking with to Putin. Trudeau needs this fight to remain in power… BS get to the table, not talking potshots at Trump…
