This is Trudeau’s finest hour. Bravo. This was the firm, unequivocal message that needed to be delivered. Trump is an absolute dolt.

As an American veteran and citizen, I am absolutely disappointed in my government….

The fallout from the cult about Trudeau calling DJT by his name, will be starting soon. \n\nWell done Canada. I hate that is is impacting all in the US, but it is absolutely justified with how the current administration is treating the world.

God bless Canada. What can the MAGA pundits say about his speech? Nothing, because he absolutely delivered with facts.

If Europe, Canada, Japan, misc SE asian countries, etc., get together, they could absolutely take over as the stabilizing force in the world. DJT is doing what he wants - very cynically, he’s happy to ruin the US so he can have control over it. Totally insane. US is a mess, liberals have indulged the crazy left so much that moderates were feeling forced to vote in rebellion- but to ultimately hurt themselves. WTF?! For sure.

Who \nGives\nA flying Fk!!! This guys a tyrant \nThink about what y'all are saying about this guy he shut down the trucker protest in froze all their funds their whole bank account everything this guy is an absolute tyrant !

Flattering, but our president is not smart. He's an absolute imbecile.

I wish Trudeau was staying on as Prime Minister. Canada has a very intelligent and strong leader now. What we have in the US is absolutely abysmal. Americans are already suffering due to the idiocy and bullying tactics of the current government here..Donald.

Our government (United States) cares absolutely nothing about its people. Trump and his boot lickers care only about themselves. Thank you for being the voice of reason for us since we don't have a leader down here capable of respecting the people he supposedly serves.

Absolutely disgusting. How as Americans do we begin to apologize for this? I'm so sorry to our allies. I'm so enraged that I'm crying. Canada is our friend and this scumbag and his sycophants have destroyed that friendship. I'm so sorry everyone. This is devastating ?

What an absolute cuck, fitting he'd be on CNN

Despite my dislike for Trudeau, this is a fantastic speech, he's absolutely correct.

Absolutely amazing speech. Hats off to Trudeau and Canada.

Mr. Trudeau, you are absolutely right, Mr. Putin is a liar, dictator and murderer, someone have said that,\n“ Birds of feather, flocks together “, I am so ashamed of Mr. Trump, so does 52% of Americans.

Trump thinks he can control the world and extort money to line his pockets...Trump is revegeful, boastful and even the late QE knows that is also a balatant thief ...there is absolutely nothing good about him ....anybody else who is found guilty in the US are subjected to a prison sentence but Trump will corrupt the even the justice system so that he can wilfully commit more crimes and not be sentence to prison but can go on freely to commit more criminal acts. The American people who dont want more sufferings should strip him of the title president and kick the him out of the White House soon.

Look, trump just destroys stuff...how did republicans and maga not see this? trump dump is an absolute F#@k up. what do yall not understand!?????????

You all realize he is a complete failure as a leader right? Propaganda aside, he is hated in Canada. Absolutely destroyed Canada on the world stage and within our open border. Canada will take years to recover if it even can. He should be in jail. He is done.. can't be gone soon enough.

Makes absolutely no sense for the US to go after Canada of all places. Absurd.

16 min mark.. What harsh language is she talking about? ? USA absolutely brainwashed.. Harsh would be to call Trump a foking twat ?

Absolutely true. How nice to listen to a leader who speaks truthfully and intelligently. My great grandfather was Canadian, he would have been so proud of you.

Are there any independent critical thinkers left out there that don't have faith in political sides?but instead live in reality? this guy has absolutely trashed Canada - and all anyone here can do is worship his manipulation? man - the brainwashing is strong stuff indeed... the people of the USA are just too easily directed- sad.

American Republic of Russia. Absolutely no doubt about it.

It's absolutely nauseating that Donald started a trade war with Canada. What a great neighbor and friend Canada has been to the U.S. for so many, many years.

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

Just avoid absolutely everything from the USA. Globally.

bring it Canada. You dont want the wrath of the United States. Continue down this path and you will absolutely become the 51st state.

Difference BETWEEN Clear And Understandable Full sentences. WITH Absolutely NO USE OF TALKING Over somebody. Thats the difference Between a Real person. And A BULLY!

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I mean, it should be crystal clear now that Trump is absolutely a Russian asset. He's actively damaging US interests & relations throughout the world.

he had no problems imposing tariffs on China but as soon as the USA does it to his country he gets all butt hurt about it. absolutely hilarious

trump played the republican voters and putin playing trump. What an absolute mess.

Thanks to all Americans who made the rest of US look like absolute idiots. I hate you all

As someone on the right of the political spectrum, I never thought I would ever agree with a word that Trudeau says.\nAnd yet here we are. He's right. Absolutely right. \n\nAnd time passes. Where we are today might not be where we are tomorrow. Ok, go and shit all over your closest friends. But understand that the world can change very quickly. You might one day need that friend.

I don't think I've ever seen or heard Trudeau this angry before. Justifiably so. I hate that your government has done this but Canada will not back down. There is no real justification for these tarrifs other than Donald trying to take our land and resources. \n\nYou can think what you want about Trudeau, but he is absolutely correct. These tarrifs, this trade war against a long time ally, partner, and friend, is indeed a very dumb thing to do.

It is absolutely a shame what the United States is doing now. I want to leave this country and I was born and raised here . I have been a proud American a proud African-American woman. I am appalled and ashamed I was born and raised in Detroit right across from Canada so I am very close\n\nwith people that live in Canada and it’s a part of my history. I am at a loss for words. I hope that we can do something to stop this dictator. this liar, this cheater, this imposter.

I am absolutely go for Canada...\nAmericans must unite to pulldown Trump..hes not a good President for american People..\nSalute and our Full Support to Canada to Prime Minister Trudeau

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

He’s absolutely right

Golden age of the USA? \nTotal chaos in the government due to decisions by the most unqualified administration! \nA despicable liar sits in our oval office who is destroying our country every day , every moment. \nWe are loosing our allies, isolating our country and going on an absolutely wrong path. \nI support Canada! Ukraine! Not \nPutin.

All those war or tariff war is not against country to country absolutely against countries population

Wait, does Canada have any cards? We absolutely need to know many cards they hold!

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

Actually so fucking based. Well done Trudeau. Put the clown in his place. ? Absolutely based.

Oh no what are we gonna do? Canada and their laughing stock leader are angry that our president is flexing and not thinking twice about the repercussions. There is absolutely nothing you can do to us that we can't do back 100 times worse. Someone get Trudeau some tissue please. He looks like he's about to cry. Girly Man.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

Ya know, it’s honestly comical that some many people have these knee jerk responses to anything they deem “negative” STRICTLY for the fact that it came from Trump, and rather know TRULY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING behind the reason why these “negative” things are said or done in the first place… I ASSURE YOU 99% of the people complaining about this Canada tariff don’t know that it’s simply to (essentially) force Canada to agree to ramp up their border DEA enforcement/presence to help cut down on the illegal drug trade (primarily fentanyl) coming into America! If more of these people complaining knew this reasoning behind it, I think that would quite honestly shut a lot of them up! And to be completely honest with you, that failure falls on NO ONE MORE THAN THE JADED MEDIA!! I truly believe THAT is hands down the biggest failure in our nation currently!! The media is HANDS DOWN our biggest enemy so far this presidential term!

I am seriously considering moving to Canada where my ancestors came from. Fortunately for me it’s only a few miles away. I cannot handle the absolute criminality happening in this U.S. under the treasonous command of a felon and a traitor!
