European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

MEGA VOTERS AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR TRUMP RE-ELECTED. A CONVICTED FELON IS RUINING THE USA DUE TO HIS LIES. MAYBE JOE AND KAMALA SAID I TOLD YOU SO.???

Every year 20 million Canadian travel to USA and that will stop soon and USA hotels and small businesses and airlines lose about 17 billion dollars just there, At the end USA will lose more than Canadian, Trump bows down for Putin but stab Canada and Mexico from back.

Trump is the one who will destroy the democracy of USA, the humanity of orderly world, close corporations of Organization like NATO and . . . . .the country stay together peacefully in this world.

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

Go for it, Canada! \nThe trade war trump started is stupid, and we the PEOPLE of USA do NOT support this stupid, costly trade war.

I’ve strong feeling that this will end with trump scraping the tariffs . Then doing a deal with the Ukrainian government. And carving up their resources between \nFrance,the USA and the uk . We’re all being gaslighted in my humble opinion.

Trump ruins everything in USA. Only money is the King in the USA.

There's a plan. Trump is going to destroy the world economy. He's going to alienate Canada from the USA. Then? Then he can repeat his wish to help Putin by not defending Canada when they attack.

Trump's alliance with Putin means that we Europeans can no longer see the USA as a partner, ally and friend. We will now have to see the USA as a competitor and opponent, perhaps even as an enemy.

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

Trump don’t care about his people, what he wants is make the investors invest in USA in order to not charge tariffs like if it were easy to do and get back on 2000 year when the baby Bush triggered the massive investment in china and out of us soil; smart punk then. Labor wages are more higher than in china or mexico or any other country.

Ask if Alberta believes Trudeau is for them like Trump is for the USA. Ask the truckers if they believe this speech.

Please do not mistake Trump for all of USA . Most of us agree totally with Trudeau .

What Trump is trying to do is have Mexican and Canadian companies pack up and move to the the USA. Hopefully all beer manufacturing will move to the USA.

Trump should know that retaliation from Canada and China and Mexico brings down USA to its knees, From now on I don’t buy any American products as a Canadian, Whole Canadian are united behind their government in this matter.

Trump is now the most hated person in the whole world, next to Putin!...Trump IS NOT THE STATE...Trump IS NOT THE USA...Americans you can impeach Putin's lapdog!

The president of usa did this and 25% of americans did this. the other 75 % love canada. Chuck tRump. may he rot in hell.

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.

The issue is trump is a sociopath. He will never do what us right for the USA or anyone else..it's why no one can negotiate with him. But also how he has become Russias greatest assest in the history of the USA, the actual president. He will toss all of the USA under the bus

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

Trump is an embarrassment. He is completely UN- USA. He doesn't even realized Canada, Mexico, Central and South American, are all Americans. Canada you are right and I stand with you. These are such sad times.

USA is not a friend, never has been. They manipulates and uses who or what ever they want. This is not a Trump issue, this is how USA always has been. We stand for Canada ??????

Never underestimate the depth of Trumps mean, small-minded, vindictive mind. He wants to smash USA in the face for the previous rejection in favour of Biden.

Canada should do everything in its power to reduce its dependence on the USA for trade and security to protect itself from a Trump administration gone crazy. There is a chance that the current policies of the Trump administration will be carried forward by future Republican presidents given how the party is now dominated by MAGA people. We all need to consider the possibility that the USA will not be going back to normal anytime soon.

I must disagree with PM Trudeau. These tariffs are dumb and yes Donald Trump is a very dumb person and not qualified to represent the USA. Oh before I forget how soon do you think he will drop all sanctions aganist Russia and their dictator.

Prepare to see the price of everything rise and the cost of living become harder to achieve losers. You voted for this garbage. You Trump voters are the most unpatriotic of all of us with your inability to critically think and your parasitic relationship to Republicans and Trump. The regular people of USA will suffer now and be weakened to fight back and further demoralized against the billionaires who successfully brainwashed you into supporting billionaires.

Trump and MAGA are deliberately weakening the USA for Putin's delight.

Did you guys know that even terrorist want Trump to win?????? They too know he will destroy USA.

Felon trump of corrupt usa CANNOT SPEAK INTELLIGENTLY COHERENTLY RESPECTFULLY like PM TRUDUE of CANADA . usa is GOING DOWN under felon trump ………..

Donald Trump is one heck of a unifier....will his gamble pay off?? Who knows!!!!! Find out next time on USA's Make it or Break it ?

Todos contra Trump.\nEviten el dolar. Consume productos de tu país.. No compres productos de USA

Trump will be known the American president who conquered Canada and it the 51st state of USA \n\nBut my question is why did Trudeau stated speaking baby words when it was time to speak to Trump directly!?

Why don't the gloves come off, and we all get to the obvious reality. Trump is doing all he possibly can to sabotage the USA. People need to actually say this out loud and not keep it hidden in the back of their mind. Every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is doing all he can to sink the USA, probably under Putin's orders. A foreign enemy agent is running the USA, this needs to be said in the open by everyone.

I thought Trump was only going to match the tariffs that Canada had on America for decades! Anyone know how much more USA is charging compared to Canada?! What an outrage! USA is leaving so many victums in it's wake!

See, what Trump really wants is not the one he is talking about. What Trump wants is the whole Canada to be USA.

See this is where he is wrong. Now that trumps in office. Now we will be fracking, milling, and mining. So what do we really need from Canada. That’s right the American companies that deserted the USA to come home. Canada is always crying man up bro.

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.

... the new Warsaw Pact (USA & Russia) ... the new reality ... PREDICTION: Trump will be impeached within a year ... nobody truly realized to date how dangerous and unstable this man is ... early onset dementia would be a good guess

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

Kudos to Trudeau, a lucid speech and an excellent response to the unstable Trump's about-face.\nCanada has always shown itself to be a friend and ally of the USA, it is unfair that Trump does this to you!\nCome on Canada, we Europeans are with you!\nFrom Italy.

Please know that the vast majority of us in the USA do not want this trade war. Canada is our neighbor and friend. This will not stand. I don’t know how or when but Trump will be removed from office and our memories soon. Democracy will prevail over evil!

Boycott the USA ! Putin is the real president of this greedy country !. Trump's brain doesn't braining.

GO TRUDEAU!!!!!\nAnd GO ?? CANADA.\n\nIn the UK we love the ?? USA! Of course we do! Trump, Vance and Musk are utter nuggets, one is a fool, one is a South African Neo Nazis and one is an angry twat! \n\nNo F@CK TRUMP! Bollocks to Tesla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nLove ❤ to Canada ?

Aussie here. I will not purchase anything made in USA. We support democracy, we support Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, UK and all of Europe . FU trump!!!!

Can hardly wait until Canada bankrupts the USA. Cut all trade with a war mongering nation, Canadians stand strong and free, we will prevail against the likes of Trump, Vance and musk who was never elected to office. Ontario just canceled starlinks, we don’t buy American products, the best thing is to shut our borders to American citizens and trade period. Just wait and see USA what we do!

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war
