How can he be President when he deals in facts, speaks directly and clearly and intelligently, doesn't say things just to rile up the world, and isn't interested in harming people? I don't get it...

This guy doesn't know anything about being a man. He's a politician and a talker. He doesn't know how to wield power or how to be respected... He's a weak man that's just like all the other people that are being pumped out of college a whole bunch of confident idiots that don't have any real grasp on what the world is.

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with fentanyl. He could care less about people dying, from fentanyl or from anything else. The man simply doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

Putin is sitting back laughing watching the US destroy itself and he doesn’t have to lift a finger!

Zero issues with border? Brother it’s us beneath you. You got the Mexican cartels directly beneath you creating tunnels and hopping the river? Nah nah first of you can’t even live in 80% of your country so idk where this big guy talk be coming from. When the pst four years all I’ve heard FROM Canadians is how AWFUL this guy is yet noted you love him cause he doesn’t like Trump lmao pathetic country and pathetic attitude

It really doesn't affect Trump if eggs are $12 a dozen and gas is $7 a gallon.. I do appreciate Trump going after non diligent government spending but the hatred toward any other than the white race is just un-American

This might just be one of the most articulate and impactful speeches of modern day history.\nI'm genuinely so envious that the United States doesn't have a leader like Canada does currently. I, like many other Americans, stand with Canada on this! ❤

Awe, did Justin miss the latest Taylor Swift concert. America wants to become an Industrialized nation again and not depend on other countries to supply us goods. America doesn't need Canadas Socialism, Kick Rocks Justin.

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.

As??Russian Mafia continues a WAR ON PUTIN’S ENEMIES. Trump doesn’t have 2 KIDNAP Top Millionaire’s mimicking MBS HOTEL THEFT of?MONOPOLY Corporations. Billionaires Admin, crushing??Businesses. IN THIS DIVORCE ?? ?? \nI CHOOSE, CANADIAN CANUCKS 2 WIN THIS WAR, ? AGAINST HUMAN FREEDOMS.

I'm so very sorry we have president Trump. He is hurting this country and many other countries. I'm beside myself. The man only cares about money. Doesn't care who he hurts to get it.

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

Now Canada gets to feel how other sanctioned or tariffed countries feel...Fentanyl or illegal immigration are just an excuse if Canada stiill doesn't get it by now ???\nCan Canada please have some dignity and stop this BFF nonsense...

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

“ smart”?! Don’t agree with that PM. Stop trying to play nice . Trump has filed for Chapter 11 plenty of times, he’s dubbed people from fake plans such as the “ school” he made up. He’s owed people money and have always hid behind his lawyers. Trump doesn’t care about us average Joe Americans. Trump’s plan with these tariffs are to cover the cost that he’ll give his corporate billionaire buddies another tax cut . Let’s not forget that he gaved the biggest corporate tax cut on American history during his 1st term and preparing another one this time around, but he’ll do it when the animosity calms down. He’s crooked as f***. And those who believe in him are completely delusional. He doesn’t pay a penny in taxes like his buddies.

From Germany. Great speech, well thought out and straight to the point. He doesn’t let himself be intimidated but acts courageously.

Evil trump is the dumbest president in the U.S history, \nThis idiot doesn't understand the economy and foreign policy \nIncompetent, ignorant vulgar pig

I want that guy to be my president Im moving to Canada or the UK want a competent leader not an orange sour head who doesn't understand business or politics and his little disrespectful side kick JD Vance should have got his Azz kicked by President Zelensky for talking while grown people are talking

U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

Most of what the U.S. sent to Ukraine was a GRANT that doesn't need to be repaid. A LOAN does with interest. The stats don't lie! The EU loaned nearly all funds sent.

Too bad our country doesn't have a leader like this

America doesn't want this either.

Canadian here. You Americans seem stupid. Trudeau is the worst leader we’ve ever had. He’s on his way out. He’s resigned. He’s a disaster. He doesn’t stand for freedom. Or freedom of speech. You people have no idea. Perhaps you could read a little bit more.

The US folks should ask themselves why does everything that surrounds President Trump lead to facts and the fact that Trump doesn’t understand facts?

Why doesn’t he talk about Netnyhu like that? What makes him better than Putin?

Anyone that thinks JT is smart doesn't live in Canada and has no idea the destruction he has caused here. He is hated by both liberals and conservatives

I really wonder what Trump's end game is with this trade war/tariffs situation. Doesn't seem like it's gonna end well.

He talks as if there's no trade imbalance. Us goods going into canada at a higher rate. A good neighbor doesn't allow fentanyl and illegals into our country. The usa does not need canada. The usa is the third largest in population. The usa is its own ecosystem. The usa needs nothing from canada. I stand with President Trump and Made in USA.

I'm an American and I stand with America. Anybody who lives in America and doesn't stand for America can GTFO.

All this it's your fault \nYou're the one \nTalk to dictator?\nLook back 2022\nSince you government 2016\n29%difference usa $cad \nYou're the Disgrace of this great Country \nGo home \nTalking of been With Russia or \nAmerica?\n5000 nuclear weapons Usa\n5000Russia\nCanada's has bottle Caps \nStop sending money to a \nClown that doesn't belong to \nNATO OR EU\nCanadians first

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.

Trump no longer needs your vote so he doesn’t care about public opinion.

Yep it's going to be interesting \nAs I work for an international Automotive injection molding company based here in the US\nWe import Raw materials from Europe and China plus within the US and who knows where these materials come from.\nBut we also export finished products and materials to Europe, China, Canada, Mexico just to name afew.\nThat is a lot of tariffs placed on these products and that doesn't include tax, cost of labor, manufacturing costs\ngoing to be interesting what the future holds

Canada doesn't sell fent. They just sell EVERY ingredient to make it from China, play that crap somewhere else I see you!!!

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

Mr clown Justin Trudeau are you Christian? ✋??I don't think so ?There are people are dying every-day doesn't matter Russian or Ukrainian what matters is people are dying every day every second every minute thousands people are dying, you are satan's clown

Why doesn't America have a responsible leader like Canada? Are we going to let our Country be run by Grifters and Greedy Con men? Take action TODAY! Americans make the choices. Not Insane fools by the name of Trump.

It doesn't matter how Canada & Mexico complying with Trump he is using this to destroy our Nation and blame everyone ous, in other to allied USA-Russia..this was his motive all the time. It is time to take our country back from this lunatic Trump.?

He read the US governmènt for filth. He is so right. WTH with tariffs with Canada. It doesn't make sebse. Our government is acting arrogantly and condescendingly by continuing to call Trudeau 'governor' and refer to them as the 51st state.

Money doesn't grow on trees. Can't borrow money and then forever borrow more money to pay for the interest on that money. Have to pay for that support that has already been given to Ukraine sometime and Tariffs are one way of doing that by getting that money from Americans in the USA.

I said it when DJT ran for President the first time. He doesn't know how to run a country. He is not Presidential at all. He is going to bankrupt our country. Put out safety at risk while alienating longtime allies. We have never in my life time trusted Russia. What we will be leaving our future generations is debt. More debt then we've ever known.

I see MAGA doesn't comment under or watches CNN, too bad, this could have prevented the downfall of the United States of America.

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.

Eliminating our allies so that Trump and his evil doers can take over our country but there are idts that can't see it. Way doesn't anyone talk about that because that is what is going on. I am okay with what our allies are doing because maybe that is what will wake up these people that support this madness. The United States is like walking around in a forest with wolves just waiting for us to be sleeping or just not protected and attack use. Trump said Ukraine was starting WWlll that is bull shit he is and it is all part of the plan.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

Finally Trudeau is talking sense after 9 years of rubbish from him and his Liberal government, I guess he really doesn't care because he's fianally quitting and we are getting a new leader!?!?

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

People in Canada ?? don't even like their leader . Things gotta get worse b4 they get better .\nTrump ❤ keep sending the message US has been getting taxed by other countries fpr far too long .\nAct like this man doesn't have a plan?????

I guess Trudeau what to FAFO like Zelensky did. You don't win against Trump. Trudeau is back off like they all do. His country doesn't want or need his stupid ass. Now he's going call OUR PRESIDENT Donald?? Wrong move.
