Sounds like a professional his policy’s say otherwise. I’ll take Trump then a polished pompous authoritarian. Honk honk ?

Do you know what trump wants is you to step down and Pollyev To take control. Can you do that are is your ego too big.

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

Shame on you, CNN! Taking the side of a dictator wanna be when Canada and Mexico is trying to work with our lousy president! Shame on you! Wake up people! Trump is Putin’s puppet. He is selling out the United States for God sake wake up!

President Trump is the best American President ever. I stand with Trump. He has done a lot of good things. He doesn't take any countries B.S.

I was a big fan of Trump, his administration and policy until last, week and now. I came to realize DT take things personal at times. I might be wrong, just my thoughts

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

This looks like a scorned man (trump) taking a scorched earth approach because of his loss last election

Drug addicts will find some drug whatever it takes. The US should make their country livable for people if they wish to decrease drug abuse. Not that Trump actually cares about any common person, it's just a narrative to incite hate and engage in bullying.

Is it possible that Putin and Trump are plotting on Canada? Like a take over

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

No more free rides. Trump is shaking up the world. We are tired of other countries taking advantage of us. So now let’s see whose money and resources is longer. Let’s play ball

Keep talking sht we’ll go take all that sht , trump trying to be nice….

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC MILITARY AND POLITICAL FUTURE RESTS IN THE HANDS OF 3 REPUBLICANS. 3 MUST ABANDON TRUMP. TAKE AMERICA BACK.

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

Trump is mentally ill!! He needs to be committed to a mental institution. Impeach and take him away...now!!

Take back what you said Trudeau! trump is NOT smart!

6:33 why did it take trump for you guys to stop that much fent coming in.

Trump did this to cause disinflation. Too many consumptions and too many cheap Chinese products in the market. Business owners are profiting at an all time high taking advantage of this inflation. Trump's move may cause short-term pain but there it will help your wallets in the long term including home prices and rates. Trump aim is to bring down interest rates basically.

Trump is pissed that Melania is into Justin Trudeau, that is why Trump is taking it out on Canada ?

This is not US goverment this is Trump doing destroying the west \nTrump is bias of Putin\nWhy people of USA do not go on the street to Support Ukraine at least to show solidarity\nTrump offers Zelenski Capitulation and that gives Putin Wings to continue to take the rest of Ukraine and slowy whole Europe\nHe wants to reverse Reagan-Gorbacov history and with Trump he will succeed\nThis is Weaker America not stronger America\nHomer Simpson will do better than Trump

I love that he’s just repeating stuff we would have done anyway ? trump just wants to take credit for it

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

The fentanyl issue from Canada is another smokescreen. Trump could care less about anyone who dies in the states. If he cared about the people, he wouldn´t be working behind the scenes to invite Russia to take over the USA.

God bless PM Trudeau ?\n\nGod bless you, President Zelensky ? \n\nTrump, Shame on you !\nYou abandon Ukraine and Europe just to lick Putin and get some business in Russia !\nYou have no shame ! ! \n\nIsrael, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nrich Arab states will offer Trump\nsome good business, \nsurely Trump will abandon Israel !\nand will take sides with Hamas, Hizballah, Arabs, Iran, Turkey ! !\n\nTaiwan, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nXi Jinping will offer Trump some good business, surely Trump will abandon Taiwan !\nand will take side with China ! !

TRUMP IS WRONG DON'T TAKE OVER CANADA ?? ?

The only possible answer to all of this is that there is no daylight anymore between Trump and Putin, none whatsoever. The only thing stopping or scaling back Trump from taking these measures is when he sees the impact on the markets and consequently impact to his own wealth and that of his billionaire cronies...

Trump is smart. it's blackmail, he scares you with 25% tarrifs. then he will say, we can deal now for 15% or 10 BUT you need to give me this and give me that like minerals etc... if we dont well then our Canadien compagnies will either shut down or they will have to move to the States and than will give new jobs in the States. lol there you go win win for the States. Nothing good for Canada or others. He also said if tariff dont work to kill Canadien economie to absorb Canada then he would take it by force.

Americans, take a look at what you just did by voting for Trump

Beautiful speech, direct, to the point and no BULLSH**T\nIt looks to me like Trump is moving to have the US no longer as the leader of the democratic world.\nI think the EU is looking to take up the mantle, though maybe a battle with Russia !

Canada is t taking Trumps BS.

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

At what point has the American army the duty to take Trump & his goons into custody?\nThey all swore allegiance to protect the constitution of the United States.

I don’t like Trudeau. I don’t like the way his country is suffering under his rule - by that I mean the poverty the Canadians are living in whilst he takes expensive vacations and eats 5 star food - and I agree more with the opposition. I also don’t like the black face joke he pulled years ago. But in this instance, against the trump administration, I fully support and agree with what he is saying. This is the stupidest trade war in history. This is going to screw up all countries involved. Stand for democracy!

I wonder if Trudeau can take that 1.3 billion to stop fentanyl entering the US and invest it back into healthcare and education? Trade war blows my mind. Trump you are an idiot.

Till Trump came in to picture Trdue was sleeping on drug/ illegal immigrant problems. Now with Trump in action mode trdue is forced to take some measurs and those actions he is discribing as proof of his intentions. In reality , if Trump was not there he would have continued to follow his old policies.

Trump’s ultimate goal is to take Canada, Mexico and Greenland, just like Putin. Isn’t that clear?! Dictator!!!

Trump is going to take this land of the FREE and turn it into a dictatorship. Our countries' previous leaders are rolling over in their graves.

Hey Canada you want to trade Justin Trudeau for two Trump and Vance hell we will even throw in Elon Musk. No how about Trump administration as well. Want do you say? Please take them all!

How is the U.S. not any better than Russia!? And how is your Orange warlord not any better than Putin!?! When tRump is pulling tactics straight out of Putins playbook!? He is cozying up and taking the side of dictators and threatening Canada and other countries the same way that Putin did to Ukraine, and then wonder why relations have gone down hill so fast!!??

Remove these both freaks, Trump and Vence and let them take Mask with them until it's not too late!!!!

reciprocal, you charge us, we charge you, this sissy boy has failed Canada. and no, the American people wanted President Trump to put tariffs on you and Mexico for not stopping drugs and are helping China to kill Americans. so, this is your punishment...the world will no longer take advantage of the US any longer, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump take America back from the world stealing from Americans, President Trump has the highest approval rating supporting him.

Hopefully somebody in the American Military or the CIA will take this Donald Trump out before he does any more damage to his allies in NATO

Trump is just determined to make his MAGA hats more expensive! Can't even manufacture them in the US..... Now take a minute and please bow your head and remember when the USA was a great country!

I HAVE HAD FRIENDS FROM CANADA AND I ONLY HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT CANADA, I LEFT USA 25 YEARS AGO ,I WENT TO MEXICO INSTEAD OF CANADA ONLY BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THE COLD ,OR I WOULD BE A CANADIAN ..DONT TAKE ANY CRAP FROM EVIL HITLER TRUMP ........✌️♥️?CANADA

Long live Canada. The USA will soon be out of NATO and have no back up from any NATO country, when China, Russia, Iran and North Korea use the Trump and Vance comedy show to take over and rule the New World.

this clown is a now taking action because Trump is enforcing what he said he was going to do and make other countries do their part and live up to their obligation which they have not been doing and taking advantage of this great nation period
