All Americans that are anti trump, make a stand, a proper one and get him out. Seems so many could do so much more than what is currently being done. You need to do what Vermont did everywhere!

The idea of these tariffs has one source - Putin...And two American puppets - Trump and Vance.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

Well done Trudeau. At least one leader had the guts to talk against Trump’s atrocity. ????????

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

Some people may not know where Donald Trump is doing what he is doing he trying to overthrow this country. So what he’s doing he trying to turn all the other countries against the American people so he can lock it down and help things his way. That’s one of the reasons why he is determined to destroy Ukrainian and other of our allies so him and his circle can do all their dirty work

Good for you Trudeau !!!! I am an American and I totally understand where you are coming from and you are exactly right! I love Canada and the Canadian people. Saying it and showing it are 2 different things. Shame on the ones who don't show it. God bless you and Canada, Trudeau ???

It’s business. Why he making it personal? Everyone is allowed to tax America. No one else lets illegals in their country. We’re are looked at as weak and we get taken advantage of for decades

Canadians do not support this tyrant….don’t let the media fool you for one second

So Canada agree to spend over one billion and still get slapped to the face with tariffs.\nYou Think Ukraine signed the peace deal with Russia and expect the war to go away?

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

Why don’t Canada that over the United State and the president of Canada replace Grifters Donald Trump. One thing I disagree with his messages is Trump isn’t smart. He has Elon Musk running America and he’s signing coloring books.

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

Sadly to Trump supporters this is incomprehensible.\n\nToo many words with more than one syllable ?

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

Trudeau is an empty bag of wind.... His people HATE him. Not just a segment of Canada, ( like Trump, here in America ). Trudeau is a wanna-be strong man, without strength. Trudeau has abused his Canadian citizens. It's laughable that Trudeau wants to address Trump. No one's listening.

Wasn't me that voted for a maniac like tRump I stand with Canada on this even though I am one of the many thousands of Americans living paycheck to pay check and have to choose bills over food and medicine. Yeah thanks tRump for destroying everything we hold dear

As a Canadian, I have to say that we must get rid of Trudeau ASAP. This man is dangerous. How can he form alliances with Europe when our principal economic partner is the United-States. He's playing a very dangerous game and I don't like it one bit!

RESPECT, Canada has been way to kind against U.S ...carry an heavy burden. I hope as an EU member , that we one day work side by side .

No you believe in us protecting you for free for forever. And it’s over. You are crippling yourselves Canada. And again, you must have a team of moderators that crowd source opinions and use mine often to prepare you for your next speech. I am but one intelligent Hoosier calling these moves… you really will be losing seafood here next ;). Trade war is hardly 25%, and the tariffs were meant to be reciprocal anyways XD so wooo, big move. Weren’t you facing fraud charges or something just recently cuz you stole from your own people?

I guess no one has played poker before.

While a belligerent Atlanticist imperialism is becoming a thing of the past, in the meantime; asserting that Zelensky does not want peace and thereby implying that America does want peace is classic Trump spin. What America really wants is victory over Russia and eventually China. Having failed against Russia using Ukraine as it's proxy army, a Trump administration discards Zelensky's Ukraine while cleverly deceiving most observers that Zelensky is the only one interested in continuing the war. Contemporary Atlanticist imperialism in the form of a Tump administration is deliberately and deceptively stepping back from it's Ukraine project to prepare it's next - albeit doomed to fail; project aimed at victory over Russia and eventually China.

Not inflation. Its non inflationary increase to cost of living. Two VERY different things. Sneaky guy tried to sneak a quick one in there.

As an American, I am appalled by Trump’s actions. I, for one, agree that his reasons for imposing tariffs is a lie. I strongly disagree with his blatant disregard for America’s allies. There is NO justification for aligning the US with Putin. If he thinks Putin has our interests in mind, he is crazy! Before it’s too late, I hope that his cabinet, the house, and senate realize that they can no longer support a president who does not support our interests as a country.

Once the American people see what Trump is doing to their country they will want him out. Canada should add another one percent per month to the tariffs until the Ameican stock market bombs.

Canada should block all US imports, not just put tariffs on US goods. No one in Canada will buy US goods anyway.

This is the speech to pay attention to today. Not the other one

divide and conqueror ,Rome is the one calling the shots they are all Jesuit controlled ,just like Hitler and Stalin were both working for the Jesuits

I can't speak for all of us, but I didn't want this either. I didn't vote for Trump and this is one reason why.

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

No one wins a trade war.but being trump is a shit business man, has bankrupt many businesses. Go trump

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

I think Trudeau is the only one Canadian guilty of this problem. A French official disguised as a religious man was involved in drug trafficking with the Miami baggage handlers. He even commissioned the baggage handler to commit domestic terrorism for the benefit of France. Air Force pilots died as kamikazes to destroy the drugs while CLEANTOWN prevented the FBI from raiding Arkansas as usual under the pretext of religion. The worst thing is that this pretext did not prevent women and children from being burned in the Davidians as the ASOVs do in Ukraine. Submitting to the French government when they are going to have an import tax is allowing French products to pass through Canada to avoid paying tax. To be sure that this does not happen, they do not need a vassal of France who follows the liars, and this is not a hypothesis, it is a fact that a Canadian, either disguised customs, or director of 2 wheels, can confirm not the arrest of the baggage handler who traced the trail but the domestic HATRED of these so-called gentry French, the friend of the haters of the KKK of France is not a quality of security and alliance against hatred and sure that the taxe will be apply to the hatred.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

Canadian president is so much better than the American one! Clear, articulate, smart, decisive, and with his country’s citizens interests at heart.

No one gives a fuck about what this clown has to say.

Stop talking, start a war, if you're a man, start a war, Canada, you're not a bad person, you're the same as women, less tanks, less mistakes, if you can't do it, Canada, you're gay, I'll just say one thing, stop taraffs, you're okay, you're the same as Trump, corporate Canada

100% support to Canada, from France.\nThis is a great speech.\nIt gives me hope when I see leaders of any countries stand up like that. Trump is one of the cancers we all have to fight right now.

You resigned anyway. So just leave. No one cares about your words and it shows, tariffs took place .

Ukraine has been known to the NOS since 2016 as one of the largest mafia countries and Natzi events and Hitler symbols and if you are not in favor of that you will be shot in your own country striving for 1 race over people whole documentary about Ukraine are also just Russians who lived there and have been plagued for years with bio labs on people and the development of human trafficking and drugs androgrome but apparently you don't care about that

Ohh CNN shows Trudeau that have the courage to contradict Trump while CNN anchors themselves are too spinless to give ONE opinion about the blatant lies he tells and even insinuate Zelensky should be to blame.\nKudos to Trudeau, shame on CNN.

Hungry richs!! They the only ones benefit and trump knows this !! You see!!

No one can make sense of Trump’s actions. He is turning on all of Americans friends , and is kissing the Russian dictators ring. As an American I don’t want this, I stand with Canada and or European friends.

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

Technically, the people wanted this since they are the ones who vote.

As an American, did that weasel Trudeau just threaten us?! Um, he better backstep while he still has time. Canada has NO product that we Americans cannot replace with an American made one in a matter of months. Fertilizer is an easy one, Our farmers just need to go back to using natural animal/yuman waste which is ecactly what used to be done. It even saves farmers billions $ because they create a use for waste they now pay to have to process for removal. Lumber and products are also an easy fix. We Americans have millions of acres of timber that actually NEEDS regular harvest to reduce the forest fires that plague us yearly. The list goes on, and not a single item cannot be MADE IN AMERICA that we currently get from Canada.

I am not Canadian,nor US.Justin seems to be more coherent and composed as opposed to Trump.I know one resigned while the other got relected.I am putting this purely in terms of speech delivery.\nMy own country's leader's oration skills are crap,maybe that's why I feel the difference.For a change my ears aren't bleeding

And I rarely hear from the vice president knowing he's not going to help the people. He the one made that argument happen

There is no one better than our Prime Minister!°

Way to go Canada! No one with an ounce of brains can make sense of Trump!
