Has anybody ever even mentioned that border control happens at the country that you enter? There is no way for the Canadian government to control the flow of fentanyl when it's the US side that have the agents at the border. Why is this expected of Canada when it's the US agents that are in control of what comes in?

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

Absolutely unbelievable you don't expect this from the highest authority, not acceptable. I wonder what the future holds. Love thy neighbour has gone for a Royal Toss. We stand with Canada.

What did America expect from a con man, a convicted felon!\nLook, Trump aligns with Russia and other dictators, but in order to do so, he has to cut ties with the allies!

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

It's people voted for Trump and Elon That is what they wanted expecting to get millioners just like Trump ????

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

What do you expect from an imbecile that has bankrupted 6 times…Chaos…\nHe is going to drive the national debt even higher

Tbh this what i was expecting a true masculinity from Canadian Pm Nice

No offence - is that not US imposing a tax as reciprocal/ you reduce your tax for American goods it automatically reduces your tax !! Why so much Politics in it! We can’t expect Americans to pay our bills , no everyone is super rich in America there are beggars at street we can see it

The Donald divided the USA. He wanted you to despise the Democrats, couldn't stop putting them down. There is more division now then there ever have been. He wanted his people to beat police officers on January 6th, chase Mike Pence and he expected them to steal the election for them. Now he wants his followers to hate Canada. Donald has always adored Putin and looked up to him. He defended him the last time he was president.

I like how he uses this opportunity to act so dramatic and insulted when the obvious and expected plan was that every country will apply tarrifs to the US. And it will be a good thing that all countries have this

anti americanism? wtf did you expect? playing the victim like always

I didn't vote for Trudeau.\nI won't vote for the Liberal party in the next election.\nThis gave me chills and fired me up.\nHow do you expect to scare people that choose to live in -40 °C/°F?

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

He is clearly not popular in Canada, Trump move to impose 25 percent tarries will make his butt kick off the chair sooner he would have expected.

Nice job MAGA…you wanted change, but is this the change you were expecting?

Got to admit , I didn’t expect this really happening to Canada. Let’s get this overturned. These are our allies. Canadians don’t blame the American people.

I do not understand where all of you were before. The cars were more expensive, the canadian grown food was more expensive, the tv/cell/ internet providers were more expensive, insurances were more expensive, everything were more expensive and you expect me to support Canadian economy? I do not think so . I still buy only US products.

Elect a clown expect circus ??

❤Love From Singapore. Great Respect to Canada which participated many Justice wars but never brag and expect for credits return❤

All i can do is shake my head. I cant say I didnt expect this and we all will have to suffer the consequences.

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'.

I came to the comments expecting to see liberals crying and I was not let down ?

Is that what American want? trump voter, is that what u expected?

Why do I get the feeling, Trump expected this to happen. Why do I get the feeling we are all falling in a trap.

Trump got bankrupt 6 times, so how do you expect him to run a country's economy? Make that make sense ?

I'm proud to hear this from our PM. No appeasement. No concessions. We expect only a stupid response from a stupid, disgusting man. \nAll the Western leaders should band together to call out this disgusting, vile US leader & point out exactly what he is.

I didn't expect this from someone who bankrupted 2 casinos.

If I see a Trump supporter on TV, expect that everything he says is praising Trump?!! Just cover your ears or change the TV channel

Trump is expected to pull out of everything Paris accord, UN, USMCA, OAS, NATO, WHO, IMF, G7, G20, TPP tonight in the state of the union or soon after!!

What do you expect from a convicted person as president

This is not harsh language nor anti-American as was mentioned. This is a reaction to aggressive action which was to be expected considering how free trade works.

Donald J. Trump is the very Best US President we have seen in our lifetime. President Trump only expects trading partners to treat the US fairly.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

Hahahah what do you expect from the USA? the USA has a felon as a president. Who said Trump is a smart individual/ businessman? Get ready my fellow Americans, this is gonna be tough……????

I was expecting him to say “that is complete bs” ?

? cnn and trudue don’t get it. Canada has been taking very little from us and expect the US to take a lot from them. It’s not equal trade. The left doesn’t really care about equality. This inequality has hurt America for decades, generations

America's racism will be its downfall, \nWhat did you expect when you elected a convicted felon and a rapist❓️

So people expected the U.S. to just had over military aid to Ukraine at the Oval Office without any peace negotiations?? ? Trump is the bad guy and Zelensky the corrupt brat is a hero? But guess what, all roads lead back to Trump. Zelensky is now amenable to the minerals deal and Europe still wants the U.S. approval of the peace plan. It's like the entire world doesn't know history and how diplomacy works at turbulent times like this.

Trump et al expect Canada to seal the US border but they don't seal the Canadian border from guns and drugs. Now Trump is contributing to war crimes by supporting criminals Putin and Netanyahu and endangering the people of the world with their aggression.

What do you expect when a FOOL, a CRIMINALLY MINDED FELON, A PUTIN PUPPET- TRUMP BEING VOTED IN as a president by brainless voters...?... \n\nAmericans are JOKE TO THE WORLD.

Trudeau your kinda help Canadians already felt during covid and now Canadians are broke and now you expect Canadians to believe in your lies again?????

From Portugal, I am with Canada and all the countries and peoples who were victims of Trump. \nI never thought I would see a North American President ally with his traditional enemies and create enmity with his traditional friends and allies... all this in one month of government. We have to expect the worst and be united.

“Alright while the prime minister speaks in french”. I was expecting an English translation but received a casual uninterested spiel à la Ron Burgundy.

I wouldn't expect less from Canada,, We have been getting all the Good News from Canada... Some things are getting Out of Hand from President Trump, and He is Speaking from the Responsability of a Man Protecting his Citizens and Economy.

Trump thinks America rules the world whereas the balance can easily shift by this kind of aggressive approach, especially when there is a tremendous economical power called CHINA! I expect the infamous arrogant American culture will have to learn being humble soon. You should thank Trump for what is going to happen next.

This is the type of comment section I would expect from a CNN post ?

Hey sincerely looking for a conversation. Is there anyone who voted for trump and is happy this is happening ? Or expected it to go this way and is still in support of it ?

CNN should do their research on this clown before they try to make him look like a hero. But then again what do expect a leftist news network supporting a leftist dictator.
