Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

This is how a Countries Prime minister acts and talks something Donald Trump could learn from. Well done, Canada and well done to the Canadian people.

It's so strange to listen to CNN acting like Trump is sane. Wtf is wrong with you clowns? It's clear he's sinking your economy, why won't you say it out loud?

This is guy is talking about making sense?? Seriously? \n\nYou’re berating trump for trying to make peace with Russia yet align yourself with China and let them infiltrate our government. You destroy the lives of your own citizens and completely ignore their rights and you wanna act like a tough guy now? \n\nAbsolutely pathetic.

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

He is correct..our government is doing this to us . For Trump's circus act like he's a genius

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

Trump is forcing good people to act in ways they would not normally.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

True American and True Canadians stand with Canada! Trump is acting like Putin is to Ukraine! The war is coming, if Trump gets HIS WAY! I hope the US military opposes their government !!!

Was tol Putin has got incriminating video of trump that is why he is acting like a puppet

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

It all looks like a coup d'état has succeeded in America, and Trump acts like a seasoned Russian stooge. If an enemy were to infiltrate the American establishment, they would behave exactly as Trump and his gang do now—under the guise of patriotism

Trump administration requires good economists rather than Musk. Hurting his own people , NATO countries and other countries by tarriff war, is act of creating many enemies simultaneously.

Trudeau trying to act tough is like tinker bell trying raising a fist at you...both are laughable. Notice how he doesn't discuss the Canadian tariffs on American goods prior to Trump? Drop your tariffs and we'll drop ours - deal?

US is acting as very unreliable partner. Trump gonna tarnish US image and proving its fatal to be a friend of America.

Is Trump dumb? Well, I suppose the outwardly obvious actions of dismantling America in front of everyone's eyes is so dumb that people can't believe their eyes. But, damn! Is America so dumb that it's just going to watch? It's such a silly play that anyone watching would walk out of the first act.

I hope that those who blame russian civilians for not acting against dictator Putin will take actions against Trump in their country

America will no longer carry others, you got high tariffs on America, we put high tariffs on you, turn about is fair play. We voted for Trump to do EXACTLY what's he's doing, this is why everyone is barking now, America has been carrying so many countries for so long, that everyone has forgotten, no longer though. As far as Russia goes, Ukraine is a cash cow money laundering country with a dictator, Russia is not the enemy here, it's you Globalists and Davos clowns that think you can influence the whole world like we are in the matrix, the cat is out of the bag, people are waking up, zelinski chose his fate, and disrespected the U.S. Trump put him in his place. Alot of you are so lost on global politics, all you professed military people saying Putin is the enemy just really shows how little you know. So go ahead Canada and act tough..........you know we carry your country, we don't need your power, our grid is strong, or products etc, the next thing will be car manufacturing plants coming back to America, from Canada and Mexico, where they should be. Let's see how long that tough talk pays Canadas bills ??????????

Stop the drugs clean up your act and address Donald as President Trump. What a punk ass immature approach.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

When will Trump stop acting different films. One day, one trouble

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

The way mainstream media acts surprised by the actions of this current administration is just as revolting as Trump.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Aren't these acts of treason by Trump? Why no one is alarmed in USA by these obvious acts from a mad man or a traitor?

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

Thank Mr. Trump for this disaster and its insulting attitude toward our friend and ally Canada….this is who we voted into office…..a sad day in US history! Trump acts on impulse ….on almost everything….no thought process…..no discussion with his “Yes” cabinet of puppets who rubber stamps everything Trump wants. The Prime Minister is spot on…..but Mr. Trump is unable and unwilling to act like an adult.

Trudeau acts like tough guy in front of media then goes back to licking Trump’s boots behind the scenes. I’m sure he called Trump after this meeting and agreed to everything Trump wanted him to do.

Trump is acting like a mob boss,

The tariff money is going Straight into Trumps pocket. Why else would he implement this nonsensical act.

Trudeau acts like a real Leader not like Felon Rapist tRump Rise Up America get rid of tRump by force

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

Trump is acting like Xi and Putin and Kim, doing everything possible to be against all democratic countries

Trudeau sure hasn't been acting like a friend. Now all of a sudden he's are best friend? That's nonsense. He's a mooch and he's mad that the gravy train is over.\nGo Trump... America First ??

Everything Trudeau said is true. The problem is trump is acting to destroy America as a functioning nation, likely out of love for OR fear of Vladimir Putin. Nothing else makes sense.

Trump is acting perfectly logical... if you appreciate he is compromised by Russian intelligence, his Russian handlers know how to manipulate him, and he is really a very stupid man. That and senior cadet Kransov has earned new shiny medal

I am Proud to be a citizen of the USA. I seem to remember this man stealing money from truckers bank accounts and acting like an actual dictator during covid. Trump is only doing what he campaigned on and got elected with a majority on. Makes you think.

Trump in his irrational actions is showing more and more that he is in cognitive decline. My late father in law suffered from slowly succumbing to dementia before his death. He also started acting irrationally and becoming very intransigent over being right despite the opposite being true. The similarities between Trump and his decline is striking and very worrying.

As an American, I applaud your response and would make only one change. Instead of saying that 'America' did this, please more precisely state that the Trump administration is implementing these Trade War acts. ✌

Sadly Trump is only going to continue to act like an ignorant bully and a child. Im sorry that this country has come to this.\nI absolutely cant stand Trump the chump. Trump the chump Trump the Chump!

TRUMP IS RAPIDLY GAINING CONTROL OF THE FBI, THE CIA, THE ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE. THE NAZI STATE IS ALMOST COMPLETE. YOU AMERICANS ARE ALREADY SCREWED BECAUSE YOU FAIL TO ACT. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY FROM CANADA. WE WILL GET VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY NASTY. VERY, VERY NASTY.

The world is going crazy, or I should say Trump is going crazy. There is something wrong with Trump. Republicans have to act. I can't imagine how the world will look 4 years from now.\nThe sad part is they would have to impeach both the president and vice president who might be even more dangerous. How to do that? I don't see it. The Republican party changed big time since his first term.

That is really true what Trudeau said. Trump is a smart guy, but he's acting stupid.\n Trump may quite possibly be smoking crack
