America hates Trump . He is a Russian agent back in the 80s. trump is a compromise with putting .trump owns putting money for the bankrupt casinos.

Some of the things Trump does benefits America but all the things Trump is doing benefit Putin.

Impeachment for the whole office and the senators that let this happen. How can you impeach a president who had an affair with another woman, but you let a 4 years ruin the United States of America. The senators should be ashamed for turning their backs on the American people and our allies. IMPEACHMENT!!!

Bring the jobs back to America. Canada needs us more then we need them

I think you need to worry about your own country. You are only talking about America for some strange reason. America doesn’t give a shit what you think.

Trump knows America is in trouble. Trying to blame other countries

America! You are heading for ww3 against china very soon, are you sure you want to turn key allies against you?

Lolllllllls that's you president trump America first yes right

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.

Guys, are you still in doubts and pretending to now see the country going down! You need to call your lawmakers now to change sides and have some immediate checks and balances on this government. Or else most of your wealth will be GONE while the Billionaires are getting richer. Stop the partisan politics now and defend your interests, America!

Thank you Canada for standing up to this Bully President who has dropped all of the protection so Russia can just walk all over America and set itself up to allow Putin to do whatever he wants.

You Mr Trudeau love and care for the people of your country,Donald wants to destroy the poor and middle class in America.

I speak as a Californian. I am so, so terribly sorry, Canada. I never voted for tRump, ever. I hate him in every way. This is all so heartbreaking. ?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing up for your entire country. Our president is destroying America and handing us over to Russia. ? I stand with Canafa, Ukraine, Mexico and democracies of the world.

All I can think as I watched this was “wow I wish we (America) had a president like that!”. Rational, understanding, intelligent, calm, and concise. Instead we elected a narcissistic megalomaniac who is insane and incompetent. \nCan we trade presidents please???????

Trump believes the fairytale that America doesn't need it's old allies because Russia(Putin) would never attack America. Talk about all your eggs in one wonky basket!

Finally we got an leader in North America who can speak English.

I just looked it up. Per capita Canada has a higher inflation rate and per capita Canada has more homeless people than America

America can b slap everyone

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

Please help us, Justin. We are under seize by thugs who are conducting a COUP ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE. ????

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

America..we dont hate you...we hate your president!!

Fentanyl is just an excuse for the tarriffs as only 0.2% of Fentanyl crosses the border into the U.S. It’s drug cartels from South America that are trafficking the majority of drugs as well as gangs in the U.S. as well. \n\nBut it’s telling that Trump just ignores the fact that Americans themselves have a huge opioid crisis or what he’s doing to stop it but instead he’s blaming Canada which is just BS!\n\nTrump is a traitor to American Allies!

Well said, Comrade. Besides, who needs America. Right? They can just go it alone and suffer from having all those resources on which to survive just fine for centuries. Unlike Canada.

The best American mistake was when they voted for the old arrogant President. His minions will destroy America and other friendly allies will become foes.

Trump will do what he has always done. Screw everyone over while he makes off with the money and throws everyone else under the bus. In this case, the entirety of America will be the ones under that bus. Trump will once again get away completely unpunished for his actions. \nTrump and musk both belong in prison.

Sane America here supporting Trudeau! I apologize for this disaster in the white house. There is no reason for this other than to line the pocket of Trump's billionaire friends.

America!

Everyone is.\nLaughing at America no, they're not.They're laughing at that idiot we have as a president enjoy your vote ?

Wow, Trump is destorying America bit by bit

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

Lol this guy is a joke, trump will make America great again! Halirious how Treadu is trying to make american fearful of the tarrifs. Its no pain, no gain. America will support their own and will supercede all countries in growth.

What’s happening to you America??

You people are seriously deluded. Your country is done. America is not the land of the free. Your greed has imprisoned you.

As an American, let me respond with, I don't need anything Canada is exporting. Pretty sure this will hurt Canadians far more than it's gonna hurt Americans. For those of you on here that might not grasp the situation, Canada has a higher value of exports into America than America has exports into Canada by over $100 Billion. Good Luck Canada.

America needs those who voted for Trump to storm the White House or capital and decommission Trump.

The Canada should put 50% tariff to America foods instead

Dude if what Trump is so bad for America and it isn’t going to hurt Canada why do you care. You are the the Dictator you liberal. Good America will just cut all Canadas aide

6:43 Sure we stuck to our word but that's irrelevant. Dump is intent on getting his hands on Canada's natural resources because he thinks leaving any money on the table is criminal. He thinks it's a failing that we haven't treated our environment like an oligarch's playground, selling off everything to the highest bidder. This is what he has TOLD you he is planning for America and he's created this trade war smokescreen to keep everyone distracted while he does it. He won't be done until all of North America and Greenland are barren and there's no profit left to make.

I can't wrap my head around this exceptional showing of leadership that we, America, are lacking! Bravo Trudeau. Donald could learn a thing or two. ??❤️

Can someone stop the dictator and tyrant? Its crazy how this orange pig is destroying the economy he is no making America great he is just a Putin’s lapdog…

The Smoot-Haley Tariff Act made the big depression 1930 much worse and convinced Japan and Europe to fight for resources that they needed to prosper, because nobody was trading. Why break the deal that Trump signed, with a Friendly nation, a neighbor? Because they supported Ukraine in their fight for freedom? I miss the America that stranded for universal values.

Trump is compromised. Period. He's doing Putin's bidding, 100%. This is an incredible moment in history. America has been infiltrated by it's arch enemy in the biggest way. God help us.

It's only a matter of time and America, the USA, will become North Mexico and Trump made it all possible

America will be fine without Canadian imports.

?? AMERICA ?? F YEAH ??

This weak up call to every one that dont trust to much to the america ..they will help you at first and then they will ask for return ..

What a mistake to acuse Trudeau of anti-americanism. He spoke very empatic to and about the american people. He only showed the need to fight back against the Trump madness aimed against the canadians. For what reason? America first is turning into America alone.

Who cares. Soon, Quebec will become an independent country. While the other Canadian provinces will become new U.S states. CANADA WILL BE NO MORE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!! Your land will become ours and you will always remember that its America who won. GTFO Canada!!!!

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.
