The amount of fentanyl coming into Canada from the US is 1000 times the amount coming into the US from Canada. When will Americans wake up to this insanity?

Twice in a week Trump is humiliated by a world leader, Trump thinking he can be a president of a country like the ceo of a corporation. He blackmails people offering them scraps from the table of his last meal as if they should be thankful. How on gods earth did America vote this clown as it's leader. Putin has spent 3 years trying to get into Kiev and in a few weeks has managed to get into the Oval office of the Whitehouse. I sit here in the UK watching what is going on in America like many around the world cringing and at the same time laughing at how such a scumbag could achieve what he has done. Trump and his arse licking lapdog are making a laughing stock of the US and you seem helpless to stop the shitshow that is coming your way. I feel for you and hope his stupidity will lead to a very quick exit for the now most famous clown in the world.

I think Americans are going to have to learn the hard way that we voted in a terrible man who is even more unrestrained than the first time. The best outcome of this lose-lose situation for Republican voters is to feel the financial pain of Trump's actions. Maybe it can disillusion his cult following of heedlessly surrendering their voting power to him. With enough opposition pressured on Republicans in Congress, they may finally find a backbone and stand up for all Americans while the Democrats twiddle their thumbs.

Fake it till you make it is not working for Trudeau!!! Time to open up the black books to his corruption!!!

Time to shut off the electricity and stop selling them oil

We do not need any Canadian products. Tariffs will work, we have natural resources gas, oil, minerals. do not need you. Critical minerals. that's a joke. We have all the fertilizer we need. So I am not sure what he is talking about. Its time to bring the auto makers home, Its time to bring all our jobs back home. The canadians are tired of him as well and he is out in October and the conservative party will win just like in the US. People are tired of the left agenda.

Is this the guy caught doing blackface MULTIPLE times and who then froze the bank accounts of protesting truckers?

....last 5 years (since plandemic) started is turbulent, interesting to watch all that, in Corona time i couldn't stand Trudeau and much appreciated Trump, now it's kinda opposite....??....well all that sounds pretty democracy right?....kinda like it....

This is the fall of America in real time - it’s so frightening. ? betraying our friends around the world. Trump is an asset to Putin - can’t we throw him out of office?!! Trump is unAmerican

Trump has always been jealous of Trudeau. Every time Melania is around Trudeau she lights up unlike when she’s around fatso Trump.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Trump needs to be stopped for ruining our country and putting us all in jeopardy. What happened to checks & balances? Why does he get away with all his evil doings? Time for all legislators to step up and do what they can for immediate impeachment. He is not fit to speak for us !!!

Let's go 51..?. One big pity party going on in here.. Time will tell , we are not giving in....?. We are already making Canada Better. Your welcome.

Who are our Dem politicians who will organize the ppl to respond??? Are they scared? This is crazy that all this is happening while the Dem response has been lukewarm. The ppl will show up. We need dates, places and times.

It will take a long time to build trust again dear americans. I guess your Stock market will fall soon

I am American and I support Trump and 100% trade war .....Trudeau is Lying ....nobody is Hurting America !!!!! We will buy from USA not CANADA and your tariffs are higher for USA than ours were for ages...~!!!!!!!!! You are dumping stuff to USA with high tariffs for a long Time~!!!

America our country is work fighting. TRUMP wont fight for Americans. He has proves this time and time again.

Damn proud to be part of the commonwealth at this point and time we will unite to fight against the unjust

You know why there are no trump supporters (yet) in the comments here telling you why trump is right and Trudeau is wrong? Because right-wing propagandists haven't had time yet to tell trump supporters what to think of this speech. Give it a few days, and then expect a bunch of ignorant, foolish MAGA clowns who can't think for themselves to be here regurgitating what they were spoon fed.

I would be happy if we Europeans would have such a leader in these terrible times !

to all my Canadian friends, it' time to buy FPV drone and get really good at piloting it.

it seems, that Donald is our next enemy. Well, he lives about 20 years may be. So, its just a little time for frustration

It’s about time someone stood up against this obnoxious bully

Great response to a very scary/trying time for the world.

I remember worse relationships between the US and Canada. Did the Canadians conquer Washington at that time?

This feels like an action movie where villains cause a catastrophe to crash the financial markets, scoop up cheap stocks, and get rich overnight. Normally, Bruce Willis would step in to save the day. Time for all the Bruces of the world to rise—let’s get to work!

WHY? \n1. The USA starting expanding NATO even though we said we would NOT (Thank Clinton)\n2. We did it again even though Russia said please don't (Thank Bush)\n3. Putin supposedly meet with a international group of news reporters to complain about. (I never heard that in the News did you?)\n4. We then said we were considering to except Ukraine into NATO. (Kinda like a Russian version of our Cuban Missile Crisis)\n5. Russia's Military is not equal so cant use that against threat but Russia is very good at Internet attacks. (2016 Russia attacked our Election and got Trump Elected)\n6. We did pretty much nothing about Russia attacking our Election, and they continued to attack our election in 2020 and 2024 (Why do you think Trump favors Russia)\n7. DOJ and Judicial System failed us in not prosecuting Trump in a timely matter. (When the Supreme Court is rigged we all fall down)\n\nGood luck to all the good people out there.\nGod save us

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

That's what these libs will never understand, you can't make consignments with these people and expect to appease them they'll always push for more and more until you have nothing left not to mention doing these consignments causes infighting which is also part of their plan. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a Democrat say these leftists aren't doing anything like excuse me Karen.

Im Mexican American... and for the first time in 43 years I'm ashamed of the American part...

You should have become a member of BRICS+ and BRI long time ago. It's not too late.\nThe West has declared an Economic War with Russia that has Backfired Spectacularly.

Trump is a disaster. This guy clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a real politician and had no business ever touching the oval office. This guy has gone bankrupt multiple times. He's running our country into the ground.

Canada must be part of ?? \nIt is about time….

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

California here... but my Mom was Canadian and never gave up her citizenship.. wearing my Canada sweatshirt today in solidarity. I hope Canada knows how many Americans are with them and how much we hate what's going on in our country. For the first time in in my life I am deeply ashamed to be an American.

Let’s go Canada. Mexico its with you… its time to get united for the good of our people for our families

Trump is not a president but a small child who absolutely wants his own way and therefore only lies all the time, he doesn't care because he is protected and provided for by the state treasury

Time to pay up Sucka!!!?

I am an American. I hate our government and leaders at this time. Prime Minister Trudeau seems to understand more about what we are going through than our congressmen and senators.

Wow, for the first time I’m impressed by Trudeau. Mmmm?

It’s Mr. President Donald Trump sir, and next time don’t wait so long to help stop the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl coming into our country. I hope you enjoyed all the money you were getting unfairly.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

I'm from Rohan and we stand with canada. When the time comes light the beacons.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity, as time goes, sadly it seems Musk/Trump fall to the latter.

For me it seems Trump is creating conditions for some sort of a military action against neighbors, probably in time around next presidential elections, and for domestic political reasons.

CNN, why in the world do you waste our time telling us what we just saw and heard? Anyway, I'm very nervous, if not down right scared, to watch the United States devolve into a fascist regime. It feels terrorists now hold our government hostage. For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

If Trump could blame the mating call of wild turkeys for his destruction he would lie about it enough times to eventually brainwash people into believing this ....that is Trump's playbook and has been forever, he demeans, boasts, cons, lies, swindles, shakesdown, confuses, cheats, entrappes, blackmails, seeks revenge gambles, blames others, points his finger, humiliates, denigrates, punishes, demoralizes,.... a real scumbag

The trade war that's nothing to do with Rusia war, the trade war is related with your incompetent roll letting drugs pouring by the border from China period and the Rusia war it's because with not gonna be supporting the war that you and Europe wants with our MONEY. Two different topics, we don't need your stuff and your country will lose more than us and your crying is just a because you don't want be traded with 25 %. You are talking to the minority of the American people because the majority voted Trump so your speech it's a wasting time for me

Your a mutt trudeau, you had time to stand up for Canadians by strengthening boarder and closing your ties with Chinese drug cartels. You're only gaslighting which too many Simps believe

We don’t want this! Wake up America! I voted for her. These are sad times in America. Shameful. Thank you CNN.
