wow... that's ballsy and rhymed. See... this is a leader i can stand with. Thank you for this. But honestly, this feels like a bad breakup.\n\nI don't know what the hell Donald is doing. Current US Administration is alienating its friends and allies. I wonder what the end goal is.

He spoke eloquently using FACTS not LIES like Donald Trump. He didn’t sugar coat anything. He spoke directly to Donald. \n\nTRUMP has been making DUMB DECISIONS over and over. THIS TIME is being controlled and e has shown to the world thatHE IS THE PUPPET of a ?BILLIONAIRE IMMIGRANT WHOSE GOAL IS TO CONVERT THE US TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY imitating HITLER. \n\nDonald LIED to VOTERS promising to reduce inflation and increase jobs. Donald please STOP BEING PUPPET OF ELON, VANCE. And all others. \n\nTHIS IS NOT HOW TO MAKE THE US GREAT AGAIN… YOU ARE MAKING IT THE WORST and destroying everything great former leaders worked hard to build. \n\nYOUR EGO is making you blind. \nYOU LIED using God’s name in vain to obtain votes. \n\nWORST ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY\n\nGod sees everything.

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

I would like to see in these comments what the MAGA supporters because they’re very quiet in the comments section……..

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

Sounds like a little boy crying for his mother.., seriously. Strategist and see how you can get your nation out from this. See how China did it. They have long diversified since Trump 1.0 into ASEAN countries, and ASIA, especially the mid east and Africa.

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

This guy trudeau is an empty vessel just like the little rat zelensky, we will see you fight with the giant rattle snake trudeau

I like how he is tackling the situation nicely. as being canadian, we should boycott the American goods so make our economy stable. People who are thinking this is in Americans benefits they see later what American government do with them .

Good for Canada the republicans in congress are spineless to stand up to the felon president Trump and are allowing him to be a fascist tyrant. As an American it hurts to see how Trump treats allies and how he embraces enemies like Putin, North Korea and others. As painful as it will be I hope the free world does what the Republicans are scared to do and that is stand up to Trump and put him in his place!

Gessus crist how dumb a big outlet like cnn to not put 1 and 1 together, to see who is meant do benefit from this, and not name it\nTrump distroyed cia, pentagon and fbi and any governement that could have checked his traitorous a55 that gave usa on a silver platter to russia AND CHINA \ncause make no mistake, ppl were amazed China was slapped with only 10% while allies were attacked viciously . The rethoric against china will change and will see that the excuse of disingage from Europe(translate let it be Putin's) was supposed to concentrate on bigger fish china.\nLike the boiling of the frog u dumb traditional media were complicit in the transformation of usa in a fascist state! You stopped putting pressure on republicans, gave them leeway to giv in to trump blackmail and intimidation, instead of marking ALL THE LIES HE TELLS ALL THE TIME. \nCNN, FOX ETC . Make no mistake, we saw what u did, when the evil axis will form russia china USA, YOU WILL KNOW YOU DID IT.

Don't pull Trump out. This is the only way he can destroy the United States to become North Korea having no friends. I like to see that happening since I don't live there. I put my money at safe place and wait for financial crisis to come. Please do more crazy stuff Trump. I can't wait for other countries to join force against Trump. But I feel sorry for the next president. He will have a hell of mess to solve.

Never see Justin Trudeau that smart. Like it kind of breath of fresh air.

As an American, PLEASE PLEASE know that so many of us are beside ourselves with anger due to what we are seeing. Personally, I feel like I’m living in a bad dream.

See how a leader who has an education and a vocabulary talks when he is angry? Not like a foul mouthed toddler .

Well. Based ON THEIR WORD Trump paused the tariffs because of promises made ...... Just like Mexico they said they would secure their borders to help stop the flow if illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs and terrorists into the USA... THEY DID NOT. China did nothing to crack down on fentanyl being smuggled out of their country (although I think they would rather see American people die of overdoses. When Trump says he going to do something he does it.. no more Biden woosie politics.

As a Canadian citizen, it’s not that I do not feel like my interests and well-being doesn’t matter. I know it doesn’t matter. He close attention to what he says as well such as make that make sense is a popular conservative or republican slogan. These are mental gymnastics in order to confuse the majority and misdirect the population. As it says in the Bible let he who is without sin cast the first stone and lately. I see a lot of people throwing stones in glass houses.

18:03 \nTarget: We’re paying tariffs due to purchasing from these foreign suppliers. We have a choice: Find a domestic supplier with comparable prices or pay the increase to tariffs or the smaller increase from switching to domestic. As such, there’s only one thing to do to maintain the profit margin. That thing is raise prices in our domestic locations.\n\nAlso Target: We could also make public statements about the products we sell and what it’s like trying to find an adequate domestic buyer — but if we say something that makes the President’s decision look bad, dear leader might do something even worse for our company and actually cause problems for the CEOs.\n\nStill Target: In the mean time, we’ll wait and see how loudly people complain about prices and wages before we do anything drastic (I.e., anything at all).

As a Canadian it makes me so sad to see our relationship destroyed. I always felt like we were cousins and would always stick together and help each other. This is a sad day. Our enemies have won today. Very sad day

Hmmmm.... If this isn't going to hurt Canada at all and only hurt the US (ie helping Canada) then why is Trudeau so upset? I think I'm gonna let this one ride out and see how things play out. Trump is a brilliant businessman as is Musk and they understand economics like no other. I am thinking there is more to this than what Trudea is saying.

There is no economic war! A war is a war. The tarrifs is a fuse for an escalation, and this is likely what Trump plans. I wouldn't be surprised that the former suggested a partnership to Putin to militarely attack Canada, and the world, by the way. Lets think about this. One day, people from US may wake up with all your money in cripto money not belonging to US anymore. No need to be a psychic or prophet to see this coming.

Trump and Musk are TRAITORS! Arrest them and deport them to Russia as they are so keen on supporting criminal Putin. Let them go live with him. See how they like that

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

?....Appears, Mr donny boy = wants THE C A S H . Well, he / it/ May have it ; allbeit, in a ' LONELY '.....america ; with millions of homeless, millions addicted to substances.....No military NO help, from US , HERE IN CANADA / .....' he is a l o n e in the world ''. NOT even one , friend. Go ahead, make Canadas' D a y . Thou shalt, see it with thine own eyes...but THOU SHALT NOT ENTER THERE IN = any Yankee doodle noodles...nor anything E L S E / you've ' picked ' the Wrong Nation ! ....// good luck, america...your goin down - and, that National Debt -....growing by leaps and bounds,....Xponentially. Like the Richter scale ....a 5.3 is 10 times LESS WORSE.....THAN A 5.4 . ! \n .....oh donny boy....what ''ave you done @ '' ! ......@nobodyhome.com / beer time, NOT any yankee crap, either. .... . . .. period . . . .

Screw you Trudou. It’s call equality. What you charge USA and have been charging USA for decades now will be charged to Canada. Let’s see how that feels… you don’t like it ? Well than lower your tariffs to match US tariffs. \nI am glad you are off your drugs. Or are you?

Trump is the disappointment .... give us 25% . The good country is stable. And also about the drugs and ilegal alians ...is nothong to do with Canada. But Trump says so . And also say i love Canada, and you can clearly see on he's face looks like is one big enemy of Canada .. Trump playimg same and even more stupid game as 2018, and many American did suffer, and he's doing things again, going up all ready, but Trump promised to be down and even Ukraine War will end in one Day..... woow what the idiot

I cannot see any sanity, logic, or forward looking, with putting tariffs on our allies. It is hurtful to everyday Americans. Who benefits from this? The wealthy, like t-rump, and his cronies. Meanwhile the traitorious Supreme Court works on bending the law to suit t-rumps bidding. We are early in this presidency. If you think inflation was a very serious concern of t-rump or the repubies, why doesn't he fix it right now? What he is doing is causing inflation to skyrocket with no end in sight. Those of you wealthy who think t-rump is right are a leach who feeds off of taking from those who have little to nothing. If t-rump wanted to he could fix it on day one like he said. He has no idea what he is doing - laying off thousands of federal workers. He wants to bring jobs to America by becoming a traitor to our very faces with putin. you repubes are all traitors to what the Flag stands for. Those jobs won't come in the next 4 years. If there are no manufacturing plants in the U.S. we will have to build them. How long will it take to build these factories and tool them up to accept workers? None of what the repubes agenda is set about bringing jobs to America - the way I see it, we are losing jobs now. The factories won't be ready for years. You who voted for this freak - I hope you suffer the most.

was good to see so many canadian & ukrainian flags out in my city today. the shelves in stores with american products are empty, just like the past promises of US government. ?

Can like-minded freedom loving countries create their own trading partners around the world? Let dictator led countries have their own. We'll see who will survive . I am sure FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL!!!

As a Canadian I am proud to see our PM speak like this today, (eloquently and intelligently) and proud of how all Canadians are uniting at this time. \nGod Bless Canada.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Id like to see how much fentynol has been seized coming into Canada from the USA! Why don't we have those numbers?

The United States of America needs to dispose of Trump NOW. This is travesty. I am an American crying now to see what this monster is doing to our country and the world especially our allies. SHAME ON TRUMP AND THOSE WHO ARE WITH AND FOR HIM. Have the decency to step aside or start behaving like a president not an embarrassment.

You see trump saying anything so sincere and real like this?

The Oligarchs are getting their dreams fulfilled. It's not a trade war its a decoy to what is coming. Population is blindsided. \n Won't be a Christmas either.. \nWait and see !\n Putin Elon & Trump are the world leaders like it or not.

I hope Trump is watching and sees what LEADERSHIP looks like!

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

It is crazy to see how the rest of the world is like what the hell are you doing and then actually living through this shit in real time...?

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

Donald Trump, can you see what a real Prime minister sounds and looks like ? smart and classy ?

It's absolutely unfathomable that things have been allowed to escalate to this point. It is obvious that our country is being taken over by Russian agents in the WH. How else can you be so tone deaf to what this stupid tarrif position is going to do to our economy, unemployment people that are not wealthy. These rich people absolutely do not care about us regular people. Our forefathers would be livid to see what has become of our country. MAGAs have been duped with so many lies and exaggerations that have been generated by Russia into the social media consciousness that they have paved the way for a total take over designated to ruin our country. It's happening, and people are so duped ...... it's like a bad movie.

Mate perfect see trump his ww3 making crazy shit! Like justin troudo????????????

They should just have a vote for our people if we want this or not. Honestly after he said the 97% stuff…. I’m very confused now. It’s almost like…. It just goes deeper. \nLike there has to be a big picture hidden from all of us, unless someone can explain. \nHonestly, let’s see what happens. Good luck everyone :3

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

BETTER WAKE-UP CANADA...YOUR LIBERAL LEADER IS TO BLAME.\n\nI AM SORRY, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE TRADE DEFICIT EQUAL OR PAY TARIFFS. \n\nYOU TALKING LIKE THIS AND YOULL SEE WHAT IT IS WITHOUT THE LARGEST CONSUMING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Trudeau is a clown & crook took all his bank accounts of Truckers protest him . He should be in jail for that .He done a terrible job . He got in an airplane right way to DC to see Pres Trump when he won the election . Before & Now With new Tariffs Canadians don’t like Trudeau . They want him out so bad ! He was a cov fool.

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

How likely is for US to separate in different countries and have its own economic rules? I see the beginning of this possibility?
