All I'm hearing from him speaking is that trumps actions are working and you guys are actually doing something now. Good job.

I’m wonder \nHow trump’s supporters feel to have a ignorant and rude person in the White House

I'm no fan of Trudeau but... Compare this to Trump it's night and day. He looks young and healthy, talks eloquently and is intelligent. But Americans rather prefer an 80 year old obese criminal who paints his face orange and knows like 50 words. It would be funny if this didn't have horrible consequences for the whole world.

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

I’m Saudi from Saudi Arabia ?? and I stand with America ?? and mr. Donald Trump

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Bravo M. Trudeau d'un Cajun de Louisiane! Résistez à Trump!

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

I’m an American, and I strongly agree Canada retaliation to trade war even though I voted for dumping trump

I’m an American and did not vote for trump. And I can’t believe how low my country has fallen.

Why would you call President Trump stupid? Stupid, you just called the majority of Americans stupid because they voted for him. You are stupid.\nI'm Canadian. If Trudeau wanted to look out for Canadians, he would have done all the things Trump asked for long before Trump asked. He would have done it for Canadians. Mr. President Donald Trump is looking out for Americans from day one, but Trudeau never looked out for the majority of Canadians in the almost 10 years he had power. He stifled Canadians, he jailed heroes, stole money, etc. There are 7 extreme scandled he was heavily involved in and over 20 others that would have put any other Canadian in prison for a very long time. He is a disgrace to Canadians everywhere.

These actions against Canada are disgraceful. For the first time in my life I feel ashamed to say I’m an American. If there was ever a more fitting time to overthrow an American President the time is now. Trump needs to go.

You shouldn’t have started clowning Trump saying you and Mexico avoided tariffs by doing only what you had already committed to do. I’m sure that got under his skin. ??‍♀️

As an American, I'm happy he spoke separately to the American people, and to Donald Trump. Many of us don't support Trump and don't feel that he represents us or our best interests.

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

God I'm jealous how well spoken he is. Trump's ramblings and tangents are just tiring ?

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

Trump is a bitch don’t have the balls to go after China for the drugs there are the ones shipping the shit to Mexico to make fentanyl but go after the weak ones instead tells you a lot about a person don’t get me wrong I’m all for trump but he fucked this one up grow a pair of balls and go after Mexico and China he just fucked the the United States big times with this bullshit move

I’m an anti-trump American and I say “GO CANADA!!!”

I’m so so sorry Canada! I do not stand with Trump!

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

I agree, this isn't about Fentanyl. I'm starting to think it's more about putting such a wedge between the U.S. and Canada that Trump will feel emboldened to do whatever it takes to take over Canada, making it the 51st state, after all. I know that sounds ridiculous, but tell me when he truly HASN'T been ridiculous!

In typical narcissistic behaviour Putin is isolating America from her friends. Trump is stupid. He thinks he has a 'good' relationship with his best friend Putin.... but Putin will eat Trump for brekky & spit him out when he is of no further use. \nI'm in Australia & we are with you Canada & with Ukraine.

I never really heard this guy speak so much. I’m impressed. He puts trump to shame.

I’m an American, a republican and I’m appalled at what the Trump administration has been doing. To turn our backs on long time strong allies for a back stabbing dictator is lunacy.

A drop in fentanyl 97% from December to January that’s telling I’m sure that January would’ve been the same fentanyl crossing if Trump wasn’t president

I don't get it. I'm not an American and i hoped for trump to win just for what he said he would and for what biden did to him by making him like Hitler which is not true and almost got him assassinated but seriously...after you see what is happening, how can someone support him.

I'm South African and I stand on the side of democracy and Ukraine and Palestine. we love maple syrup. Grew up watching canadian cartoons. We loath Trump and especially SA born Elon Musk for spreading lies about SA, for trying to take over gaza and supporting genocide/ apartheid in Israel

I'm so sorry, I didn't vote Trump. He is running this country to the ground, and making enemies of friends while he tries to make friends of enemies. Trump is a traitor and a fool.

I’m glad Canada is fighting back, don’t let this bully Trump hold anything over your head!

Canadian from Alberta here. I'm very impressed by our Prime Minister today. He was speaking intelligently, firm, and showed great leadership. Way to go Justin, you showed Trump how a person in a leadership role should conduct himself.

? I mean y you angry bro. Didn’t Trump say he was going to do this. I’m sure the tariffs with go away once you go away Trudeau

I'm from France and I stand with Canada ❤ America has always been our biggest allies, but unfortunately it looks like Trump is a disguised agent for Russia's interests

I'm an America veteran and retired teacher...I didn't vote, endorse, promote anything the felon and insurgent Donald tRump has done, to the contrary, I am an independent progressive. The words spoken here ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. My views are not based in politics, but in common sense. I am just one, but I do not support this insane administration.

Fuck trump. \n\nHe’s ruining our country and I’m glad our REAL allies are speaking out about that.

Trump is so stupid that I'm sure he forgot or doesn't even know that Putin can play chess better than any American president. Trump is turning himself into Putin's puppet. The Kremlin must be laughing out loud right now.

I'm American and I stand with canada...dumbnald trump is dumb

As an American I fully support Trudeau and Canada. As far as I'm concerned Canada should raise tariffs against the USA for EVERYTHING starting at 100%. The USA under Trump is now Canada's enemy, just as it is the enemy of Ukraine, Europe and the entire rest of the non-fascist world.

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

Go Canada, the UK is with you. I'm sorry for the decent Americans caught up in this. Please fight to remove this vile regime from office. Trump, Vance and Musk are a dream for Russia and other dictatorships.

I'm so sick of trump and he just starting why don't the Republicans do something with their scared asses he's a bully and there scared of his orange ass

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

I’m in Buffalo too Wolf, many of our independent shops import from Toronto. I could have never imagined a president of ours attacking our great neighbors in Canada. Trump has brought shame and hard times on us all.

As an American, I’m disgusted with the regime 31% voted for. More Americans than not are appalled at what Trump is doing to Canada and Mexico! And Ukraine and the EU as well. Please world leaders, continue to stand up to Trump!

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.

I’m proud of the Canadian leaders, who are kind and care about the well being of Canadians, and the world, Canadian leaders who are respectful, and don’t bully the less fortunate countries, I’m so proud of the Canadian leaders, the Canadian leaders who aren’t bullies, and are well educated, unlike US leader Trump.

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.

Let’s goo Trump we in for some serious entertainment ? why don’t you state how Canada pays less for US goods compared to the other way around. People act like Trump is doing this for no reason ? especially liberals who know nothing and I’m saying this as a moderate
