I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Good luck USA, make America great looser again?? Trump will be one making the money and US poor will go more poorer and Oligarchs will surely take over US.

MAGA Trump administration are traitors to America ?? and the democratic world ? selling us all out to murderous Russia ??

Im impressed i totally dislike Trudeau for what he's done to Canadians but I've never heard him speak so direct to America and Trump

After all these, I cant understand how some people in America still like Trump?

America does not stand with Trump-Putin-Musk

As an American, living in Trump's America, I appreciate an articulate, sensible explanation. Additionally thank you for expressing more care & empathy for Americans than our own POTUS. I hope we will all make it through this uncertain & frightening time.

I stand with America---trump is a business man and works with reason

Trump is the dumbest and evil person in the history of America

Canada's nation of 40 million people has four industries America's 340 million citizens rely on: petroleum, timber, vehicles, and machinery. The U.S. can drill, cut, and build to suit its needs. This is how Trump will drive Trudeau from office. Welcome to the pain game, Justin. PP is going to love spitroasting you with the Donald.

Trump wants the world to hate America so he can do whatever he wants to it, and the world will not care

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

What is Trump looking for by making troubles to all the countries military or economicaly allies of America??What the h..l is he looking for?And Why can't we hear a single blame on Ruzzia???

Trump's tariffs and other senseless foreign policy initiatives destabilize the international order. And Trump knows it. Another head of state is doing likewise whose efforts Trump is helping, intentionally or not. In view of other recent events, they may not be coincidental, to America's shame and disgrace!

Trump is only interested in isolating America from its allies and, with Putin's assistance, to take complete control.

We need to bring back jobs to America. Trump has clearly stated that those who come to America and make their products here will NOT face tarriffs. Toyota, Porsche, and Audi are doing it. \nAlso, it brings jobs to America. Why are Americans complaining about more jobs for their peers? Its crazy

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out! I am so angry and disgusted! I apologize for our horrific leadership and I hope one day the people who are responsible for what is happening will be charged with sedition and espionage! I’ve had it. I stand with Ukraine Canada and the same citizens of this country who despise everything this current administration has done since they took office! You people who believe that Trump is this wonderful person and he’s doing wonderful things for America read a fucking history book!

All these comments….”Oh we stand with you Canada”. We don’t want you stand with us, fix your fucking problem America and stand up to your supposed representative Trump.\nHe is going to screw you too, wait and see.\nWhat has he done for America so far?\nO yeah, rename the Gulf of Mexico, that’s changed peoples lives for the better.\nWhat a joke.

We all know it's not about the drugs. He wants Canadas resources, he wants Canada. Trump is a baby man. The worst president. Poor Americans. Trump will ruin America and side with Russia.

Look americans who voted trump america will be great for loosing friends and allied around the world the only friend with you is putin.

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

If you voted for trump and you think this is good for America or middle class Americans you’re a damn fool

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

None of trumps actions have been in alignment with americas interest. Trump has been compromised, but the government admitting that would be catastrophic.

These demonstrate how LOW INTELLIGENT is Trump, well said Trudeau from South America

I'm glad you know so much about America and the American people. We support Donald Trump 100%

No bringing up of characters and groups like the Radical Left, Us and Them, Shifty Schiff, Crooked Hillary and no off topics and complaints about water pressure, toilettes and wind-mills. No self praising, no hating, no over the top BS promises! Donald Trump is just so stupid, and doesn't know what he is doing. If Donald Trump says that he knows what he is doing, then he needs to be impeached, because he's not doing anything good for America.

Trump says he needs nothing Canada to offer…..yet oil and gas tariffs are only 10%.\nHmmm….\nI say shut off the taps to America, flip off the switch for electricity and make him come crawling back. Because that’s the only way American voters will understand what he is doing. America needs to revolt and end his reign of stupidity, because this is just the beginning of his\ntyrannical dictatorship.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

Nice speech PM Trudeau. .. Concise and level headed unlike the rambling gibberish coming from the orange clown that inhabits the Oval office. Trump for some reason hates America and wants it in a weakend state . Trump doesn't see himself as president but as a an autocratic ruler like Putin. Trump=Putin's stooge and UI

We have already been giving billions of dollars to foreign countries. So how is this gonna hurt Americans if we not hurting already? As you can see America and the president is tired of being used. Trump said this years ago before thinking about running for president. Everybody is benefiting of American Citizens except the citizens themselves. Unless you are a government official or politician.

Trump will make America great....enemy of the world ?

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤

America stands with Trump

Looks like America will have more Anti American sentiments not just from the Middle East. watch out America, Trump is working for Putin and he will tear your country apart. MAGA supporters don’t have that level of intelligence to comprehend what’s about to happen.

For those of you who don’t get a lot of real and unbiased news in Trump’s Greater America…watch these documentaries from Australia and decide for yourself. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence behind Trump stealing both elections. Trump’s actions have become more extreme, as he greatly fears the consequences for ALL of his Criminal actions. Watch ABC Australia’s three part Four Corners Documentary exposing both Trump’s comprehensive and long-standing links with Russia and their cyber-espionage during the elections in the US. Also explains Trump seeking unwarranted control over all levels of law and its’ enforcement. He probably didn’t win this recent election either as the Russians have clearly done a deal with him to put him into power. He is now an (un)official Russian operative and things Putin won’t betray him….but Putin is younger and far better at removing obstacles that stand in his way. Trump may have a convenient heart attack once he’s served his purpose.

TRUMP IS A MORON!!! Trump hates America and I believe he is an agent for russia and has been for decades!! We have to stop him! He is the MOST EVIL, and the BIGGEST LIAR the world has EVER SEEN! The USA is in BIG trouble! ???

Enjoy for some moments Canidian coz this will be ur loss ultimately Under Trump America is doing perfectly well just coz he is against u it don't mean u guys r right U have also done many wrong n the people seems fools rather than calling Trump as Dumb

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

Seems this guy by the way he is talking should be both president of Canada and America as he dioesnt talk like the chaos president clown in America , cuz everytime another country speaks Trump just lies

America hates Trump . He is a Russian agent back in the 80s. trump is a compromise with putting .trump owns putting money for the bankrupt casinos.

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

Some of the things Trump does benefits America but all the things Trump is doing benefit Putin.

Go after American retailers in Canada. Go after Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Best Buy. We also have a plethora of American restaurants in Canada, Justin should tax them all. Don't give Canada to that lunatic Trump for free, fight dollar for dollar Justin.\n\nWe also use alot of American drilling tools, equipment and machines in oil and gas. We go after all these companies and put pressure on them. Their silence is a support for Trump!!\n\nFrom now onwards, Canada should reduce her relanance on America to a mere 20% or lower. Issues like this should inspire Canadian politicians to go global and seek partners worldwide.

Trump is an idiot. Russia will never go alongwith America. For just lifting sanctions it is playing a game. China and North Korea also at another corner.

Trump knows America is in trouble. Trying to blame other countries

Lolllllllls that's you president trump America first yes right

I was glad that not too long ago... Trump actually did say the truth to the American people: Canada imports 95% of it's goods from the USA... with us refusing to buy American, with all of us buying Canadian or International products instead... how will he be making America great again ?? By bankrupting the country ?? Does he thinks that 25% tariffs will make Canadians shake in their pants and all of a sudden want to be the 51st State ?? No, it's just like bringing us back to the days before NAFTA. We were able to live back then and we will be able to now as well.

Trudeau, you should be the president of the United States of America. We will send Trump to canada. We are ready to pay 100% Tariff exporting Trump to canada?

Make America Canada. We don’t want Trump as a leader.
