His response doesn't feel valid. Canada doesn't do much for us, just take the heat Canada and stay quite.

Its quite simple, make the trade inequities between the two countries fair and equal and tariffs go away......simple wuss boy!

I'm American, I'm cheering for Canada. Our government has broken its word to yours. I do not believe that Trump's actions represent the wishes of most Americans but many of them DID vote for him (and the utterly spineless Congressional Republicanswho enable him) and all of us are going to pay the price, quite literally.

He should quit, I support America first... enough is enough

Nobody likes trudeau. I see lots of europeans who have no idea what they are talking about supporting this. But americans and canadians all agree that trudeau is trash, he already quit, hes just stealing as much as he can before he leaves and leaving a dumpster fire in his wake

FYI this guy quit his job and put Canada into a position that we rely on other countries to live, has been found guilty in a court of law for embezzlement, what he is doing is preparing his Liberal party to put Canada in a state of emergency that will not allow a democratic election. Trudeau is a dictator don't be fooled like Canada was This guy is a criminal and no Canadians want him in power.

Quit speaking to us speak to TRUMP DUDE!

It's not a trade war quit letting drugs in bc from China!

Trump has embarrassed us all. Imagine if Biden did this? My 401K dropped quite a bit today since last night. Maga fans: check yours.

Trump thinks the Canadians are pushover! Your in for a big fight Trump. Watch out for the quite people Trump! Most of us would never fight with Canadians! In fact if Trump trys something many would help you!

Bring it on coward you already QUIT

Trump is moving the USA to the sidelines, siding with the dictator Putin and will be quite wrong with this policy. Too bad. I liked the world order. But if you let the Russians act like this and blackmail a European country, you have to be punished for it.

Why is this guy still talking? I thought he had quit already. I'm so confused on Canada 's politics. If someone resigns why are they still holding office? Someone please let me know what the rules are in Canada?

I never thought that in my lifetime I would see, as I do now, the once might USA become a vassal state of Russia. How the mighty have fallen! What makes it worse is that the (new) US leader is in no way responsible to the US electorate and is a War Criminal as recognised by the International Criminal Court. President Putin is his name.\n\nLuckily, many Americans quite like this state of affairs.

I'm not sure what the President is thinking. I'm not sure why he approach these situations in this manner. Maybe I'm missing something. I like to give the benefit of doubt to everything because i know that I'm not all-knowing. With that being said, on his part, I would like some clarity. I'm feeling quite uneasy with the way he is handling things.

Quit acting crazy man..? our president's doing exactly what we put him in there to do..

As a Canadian, I am not a big fan of Trudeau but I must say this was a good speech. Too bad Donald doesn’t care. BTW Maker’s Mark is one of my favorite brands. I guess I will have to quit it at least for a while. ?

Quit whine Canada or next week you will be a state of America

I though this dude quit stepped down lol

Anyone with any intelligence, in the intelligence community, knows Russian asset behavior when they see it. It is quite obvious that the President of the United States is compromised and working directly for the Russians now. I believe Putin has very damning video and audio of terrible sins that Trump committed while in Russia for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant. His so-called friends, the Alagarovs set him up, but Putin and the FSB were behind the entire operation, to be sure. There is no evil or traitorous action Trump will not take to save his own ass. Guaranteed.

I'm Canadian and disgusted with Trudeau...would he please just go away and quit destroying the lives of Canadians

I thought he quit

I thought he quit.

It is quite something when a Canadian Prime Minister is the one to deliver a State of the Union Address.

Here in the UK, we see and hear very little from Trudeau, but we’ve seen and heard quite a bit from him since last Friday’s White House debacle… Been VERY impressed with him, what he has said and how he has said it… Especially using Trump’s own “big things’ language…

i hear a lot of wah from our dear leader trudeau. leave. get lost. you quit, so quit already.

I thought that jerk quit Hay a hole he said reciprocal JackAss

The fact is!! As a Canadian! Trudeau is a trader not putin!! Trudeau wants to illegally supply all drugs to every ,,, Trudeau your mouth just runing off sh,t ,,reopen the permanent quite hideing like a COWARD

I would suggest not pissing off the Canadian people. They are quite people but when they go to war they are brutal. Just look at history. They are friends with all countries around the world. The commonwealth will not put up with this for long.

American here and wish our president was as sensible as Trudeau, problem is Trump is too stupid and Elon is too rich and controlling the U.S. which makes running this country a total disaster!!!\n\nImpeachment is not a suggestion it’s needed and needed NOW!!!! Republicans in elected positions step up and quit letting this country get dragged down.

Quit crying ?

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

Great speech....said by the guy who quit on his country.

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

That speech is quite bootylicious.

25% to leverage negotiations??? It is quite a lot!

Blah blah blah. I thought he guit, but you keep giving this globalist a platform. And you let him quit on his terms. So now you have to keep suffering from this guys agenda.

Why is he speaking for Canada? Didn’t he resign and quit on the Canadian’s?

I THOUGHT HE QUIT????I PRAY CANADACUTS ITS CANCER TRUDEAU OUT,LIKE AMERICANS CANADA HAS CRIMINALS IN GOVERNMENT FROM LONG AGO,ITS A WORLD PROBLEM

When Trudy isn't in black face or applauding a known Nazi on the floor of parliament he's quite a funny little guy..

Didn't this guy quit? I can't remember the last thing I ever bought from Canada.

Strong speech of Trudeau! We Europeans feel you and we are totally with Canada. \nHowever, I guess there is no point anymore speaking reasonable arguments to someone who simply lost all resonableness. The ones behind him (voters) are blinded by the lies and false arguments they now believe in. \nUnfortunately this all will cause an unparalel loss of economic growth for everyone, ALSO for the americans themselves. In addition, the world peace balance will badly loose its balance and can end up quite uggly.

The money we have been taxed by Canada has put the American jobs at risk. Trumps bedside manner may not be pleasant but he will get the job done. The reason your boarder is more secure is because Trump made you do it! Quit gaslighting!!

I thought he was quitting? Nobody like you or your metric beer mr truckduck

Quite late out of the gate Justin. You have done nothing of significance for 9 years.

Trudeau is a fool who we can’t stand he quit on Canada. Good riddance. Canadian here.

Didn’t he quit? Why is he speaking?

Quit your crying truho

Quit your whining, and do something for the Canadian people instead of thrusting all your woke dysfunction down their throats.

Shut up Justin no one likes you in Canada and we can’t wait for you to leave. You are the king of lying and have put other countries above your own people for the last 10 years. \n\nYou are the reason we are weak and there for the taking. \n\nDon’t give me that patriotic bs when you spent your entire tenure doing every unpatriotic thing you could. \n\nDon’t listen to this moron talk about economics, he’s a communist narcissistic drama teacher who doesn’t know wtf he is talking about. \n\n\nJUST QUIT.
