we are calling it stupid, because it is bad for the economie. But perhaps that is the point. If you know in advance when the ecconomie will go down or up you can make a lot of money. So that gives Trump and his court of oligarchs a considerable amount of income.

The Good smart thinking people in America ?? do NOT want ? Trump making bad relations with Canada ?.

I don't think trump would understand Trudeau's intelligent speech, somebody has to translate it to him, feel bad for Americans that to have a such uneducated and dumb president, God may be with American people for the next 4 years ? ❤??❤️

As an American I want to apologize and encourage Canada to stay strong. Remember there are millions of us here in America that do not want this either and want nothing more than for this to all be a bad dream.

I used to keep a refrigerator full of beer and a well stocked liquor cabinet. My friends were at my house 7 days a week. I stopped buying beer and boxed up my liquor and all my friends got mad and stopped coming by to visit. Our country has borrowed \n$37 trillion dollars and given a lot away to countries that claimed to be our friends and partners. We stopped giving money away and we are the bad guys? \nYeah I see a parallel.

This is the most unnecessary and potentially damaging move by Trump, as Europe can in theory become self sufficient in the defense sector but a trade war with the number 1 ally is hilariously bad.

Gangsters currently rule USA, and no doubt USA will pay for electing bad leaders. The people need to do whatever worst earliest to prevent the fall of that great nation

All the blame without exception was caused by MORENA AND SO MUCH NACO HELPED, starting with the alliance with the drug trafficker Andres Lopez Obrador, to obtain money from the DRUG TRAFFICKING TO BUY VOTES IN EXCHANGE FOR protection of the armed forces TO THE DRUG TRAFFICKING, using cynical manipulations of hugs and not bullets second speaking badly of the United States in the morning, manipulating the ignorant people letting millions of MIGRANTS pass AND ON THE OTHER HAND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SELF-DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE, letting millions enter Mexico without moving a single finger, but letting the armed forces collect incredible quotas of money to keep the soldiers happy, they have bankrupted PEMEX, direct robberies to SEGALMEX, the refinery and the Mayan train, unprecedented million-dollar robberies, and now stealing the workers' savings funds in Infonavit, insecurity at its peak in the country and especially states where the fourth misfortune of this country directs, that allied itself with countries that are Communist, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia and China, are bringing us misfortune, urgent help is requested from President Trump

Being deported to Mexico is not a bad idea.With whats coming Mexico (or other country) will be better in the next four years.Time to apply for Mexican residency.?

the worst part of this show “commercial war” is that voters in USA are the ones who elected for trump & nazi’s psychopaths!! to feed their love to racism, they are sick & blind…. So does not matter what explanation you have to show how wrong they are, nothing works in sick twisted minds of nazis, they are fed with vile & hate , they don’t care if they look bad, of if they sink their own country with them.

we are being used by our own pres the same way a bad cop uses an innocent citizen. Lies to make the court grant orders for their benefit. This is an illegal use of the court.

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people

I voted for Trump to hope things get better. I made a bad mistake. Don't understand what he's trying to do...

the biggest threat to freedom bad talking trump lol okay

They want war soo bad.

As an American canada have the right to retaliate. Its too bad that US have overly smart president that somehow overflow from his head????

What he means to say is 1% gets caught at the boarder if you don’t find it that number could be much much higher. Which is proven how bad our boarders were, so catching 1% without the massive boarder plan means there’s much much more than that

I have no idea if Prime Minister Trudeau reads any of these comments or if his team does, but as an American, I am ashamed of our current government. We have a narcissist for a leader who is a bad businessman and a puppet of Putin. How refreshing to see a real LEADER who actually cares about his country and not himself. I support Canada wholeheartedly. I suspect many Americans will be hurt badly by these embargoes and (justified) retaliatory tariffs - but so be it.

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

If it gets to bad here we will just come take from y’all.calm down

We in the US must look like total damn fools to the rest of the world. This whole thing is now like a bad dream to me at least.

This guy is a part of the whole freaking problem. Just look how bad Canada is doing.

United States will take parody with Canada as far as tariffs are concerned. We just want fair trade. The deals signed by United States were bad deals. We just want fair and even trade. We will be back to normal soon as we make tariffs equal on both sides. We love Canadians, we just want even tariffs. Peace out

I don't know why Mr Trump would bother listening to trudeau cause his track record is pretty bad

If I were Donald Trump, like Biden I will help Ukraine because it is a threat for the whole world and bad for envoirment. Why africa, India and South America (with many states) didn't help Ukraine in a huge wage and military? Europe helps UA because there will lose friends(even USA) and Rusia is a threat for them.

It's refreshing to hear someone being intelligent, the USA has a bad case of the stupids.

What happens when things get so bad that Canada closes the border access to Alaska? What then?

Sadly I’m an American democrat that actually feels relieved that Canada is there. I feel like they are the grownups watching us learn from our bad choices. Thank you Canada.

Bless you Canada. Stand your ground even though it will hurt me badly, we cannot give in to a bully!

Waiting for Trumps response to this. Attacking Trump is a very bad idea ?

Damn as an American that disagrees with many Canadian policies. Somehow I stand with Trudeau right now. Economics 101 tariffs are bad for everybody.

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

This is an example of what a world leader SHOULD look like. Canada's prime minister gets straight to the point unlike Trump. If the world is already this bad under Trump's presidency, imagine 3 more years of this.

promoted because he dresses as a women- people with bad hearing cannot serve

trump cant read. guys. this is bad. idiocrazy was supposed to be a comedy.

I can not say#47 name. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth!!! From the USA!!! America is suffereing because the idiots that put this treasonous person in office!!! God, help us!!! God you know the truth of it all!!!

It's sick isn't it? America and Russia have become allies. I thought USA was the other side but they are joining Russia. Canada, UK Europe, Japan and other ASEAN countries are the good guys. USA China Russia bad.

1:21 Those non-tariff measures are gonna hit some states hard.. THIS IS BAD!

Trump got a plan don’t you worry this guy here is trying to make you feel bad but he has been cheating us

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

Trump is bad for business.

Send to now as bad as it is is an excuse, Big Pharma here in the United States is an even bigger problem, peeling all these drugs to the elderly community with futile efforts. There is something else behind this.

Trudeau will stand up for Canadians. Too bad trump wont stand up for Americans

We are the bad guys now.

I love how they try to tell american its best to let us suck your blood dry because trade war is worst. Hey trudeau things are already bad so how bad can it get. America sink we all sink. So fair trade is the solution, good job trump.

Trump is implementing tariffs as a federal income generating mechanism. Really nothing to do with fentynal, Canadian bad trade practices or anything else. Trump's verbage is just a deflection from the fact that he is charging his own people...a tax to improve their coffers

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

I dont know. Twice , Ive met Canadians down here in the states. And right off both times they were complete assholes to me. Not just me.but our country The one guy I tried make friendly conversation and I mentioned I was going to a race tomorrow and he goes off on America and their racing , americans and their gasoline.Liked he walk here lmao..what an asshole..just rude ..I dont feel bad for Canada one bit. Both times...ASSHOLES!

The US was an example, a role model for most of the entire world and it reversed in a matter of weeks. We are living absurd times. It is sort of a nightmare. Why is the US isolating itself, picking ridiculous fights with friends? If the American people don’t react to this and get rid of the madman, it’s gonna end badly… 4 the Americans.

I AM an American, and this NEEDS to happen. A true test of American democracy is happening! Sometimes, when things look the worst, especially with this American experiment, we get stronger and better. But in the meantime, it all looks like shit. Trump is a bad head cold, a virus that needs to be inoculated. The antibodies are coming (free loving countries of the world -the American people). Stay strong and stay united, and don't give up! We are ALL in this together!
