This guy needs to give his head a shake, he ruined our country because his family ties to oil with Saudi,this guys put our country in so much deficit and has ruined it, if he ran our country proper like Trumps doing for USA we wouldn't even be here, that FOOOL she be locked up, crooked TUGUY

The way the orange man talks there are no drug gangs in his country. The fool needs to wake up.

Vive Le Canada ??\n\nAmerica. You need to get a grip of your Executive Branch before it wrecks the entire country.\n\n trump is a menace.

Dear God, America needs someone like this. How beautifully he speaks. How sad I am for my country. Alll this chaos due to one man. My God. ?

It’s frustrating not to be able to hear the Prime Minister in the entirety of his speech. Americans need to see what a real leader sounds like : articulate, sincere, concerned for the citizens of both countries.

If you want to stand tall against the most powerful country in the history of Earth, let's see how long you stand. Canada is not an equal. Proud Republicans who support the POTUS should to the best of their abilities boycott Canadian products. USA cannot continue on its current path. Our grandkids will be paying $20 a gallon of milk and $1,000,000 for a run down house. USA needs change and no one until Trump offered any real change. USA saved Europe in WW2 and rebuilt Europe afterwards. If they don't want to be a friend of the USA, that will weaken them, not us

Non tarfi measures are better. Tariffs are going to hurt you country and RAISE prices. You need to BOYCOTT Everything israel.

The US needs to be self sufficient and produce our own products \nWe need to bring manufacturing back to our country \nWe can produce the materials to manufacture in the USA \nWe need to see the future for USA \nTo many factories have been shut down

Your country couldn't hurt us if you wanted to. We don't need you we can buy your products from someone else or we can produce our own your country sir for the most part is it frozen sheet of ice who needs your Southern partner that can grow things in the warmer weather you moron

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

I am an American but I stand with Canada. The Trump administration is destroying our country. We the people need to take our country back.

Perhaps if you are going to broadcast our Prime Minister's speech, one that Canadians need to and want to hear, you might have the courtesy and respect to LET HIM SPEAK rather than bring in colleagues to talk. YOU may not speak or understand French, but we are a BILINGUAL country, so some of us DO. CNN is obviously not where I'm going to get news. Shame.

The world is going to make Trump a 2nd class leader. Every country that stands for democracy shouldn’t let Trump fly into their airspace, or let him come to your country. The countries that have laws that don’t let felons into their countries should apply these laws to Trump, you need to show Trump that enough is enough, and you will not bend to his mafia style of governing. If he our you need to communicate it should be done over a secure video communication, and record it in case Trump threatens you, your country, or if he just goes off the rails in general. If he does threaten you, or your country, or goes off the rails you need to broadcast it to the world. There is strength in numbers, and if the US politicians won’t stand up to Trump, then the rest of the world needs to do so.

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

Everyone can anticipate dumb Trump’s response - really no need to give him air time to say it. He’s a traitor to his country, its people, to his countries allies. It would be dumb to continue to cover Trump as if he is worth covering. He is no longer the leader of the free world and he is no longer the most powerful leader in the world. He has ceded that to Putin to whom he bends his knee when kissing his ass.

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Worry about your shitty country of Canada goofy boy I thought you got the boot. What are you doing? Still here we don’t need you. You need more of us than we need you.

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

Trump needs to look at his own country’s fentanyl problem because America wouldn’t be having a fentanyl problem if America didn’t have the demand for the drug!!\nGood luck Trump…Hope you figure it out because America is the one that is demanding the drug and if Americans want it they usually find a way to get it…?..?

Why do other Countries need to sort out the drug problem in the US....surely they can do it \nthemselves from within???? the next question is do they actually want to sort it out????? \nhave they made any efforts yet??? even to their own Pharmacies...seems it's a $$$ spinner!

As an American, I am sorry for this DISGUSTING behavior. WE STAND WITH CANADA!!!!!!\nAmerica doesn't \nwant a relationship Russia..... what does Putin have on DONNY DO LITTLE. TRUMPY DO needs to be STOPPED he is fucking our country.\nRepublicans this is all on you, grow a spine!!!!!

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

Trump and Putin both want and need Canada for the simple reason of the Arctic melts. Ships can now travel that pass. Trump is known, and I'm surprised the media doesn't bring it up, to have financial ties to Russia as an American citizen even well before 2016. What kind of blackmail from Russia would make Trump totally sell out his country.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

I live in the US but I think all countries need to have a 100% tariff on all Elon's products. These bullies need to be stopped. Please save us from ourselves!

What has Canada and European countries done to actually try and end the death and destruction from this war? Europe buys energy from Russia, and Canada is only giving 650 million dollars in weapons over three years, while America has supplied hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and military equipment. Zelensky goes around the world dressed in a military outfit with no desire to stop the slaughter of humans on both sides. There have been thousands of wars where, eventually, one side has to accept the reality that they can not win, Zelensky is unwilling to see this. President Trump was elected because we want his AMERICA FIRST AGENDA, and with us saddled with 36 TRILLION dollars of debt, this war needs to stop.

Trudeau harbors terrorists from India in his govt as his ministers terrorizing Canadians. WTF he is talking. Trudeau needs to be tried in ICJ for facilitating terrorism and intervention in foreign countries

We don’t need a weak country! We don’t need a weak leader either ! I stand behind Trump! As you have said before without the US, you will struggle! I’m OK if I struggle a little bit if we get back our country! go lay down Trudeau we don’t need you!

I think people need to understand that if you look at it from a business standpoint the US constantly gets fucked in every trade and as much as most americans want to be friendly with most countries they cant when you are forced to help other people outside your country before you can help yourself

Harsh! PM Trudeau called his name: Donald is very polite that donalddeserves be called convictedfelon trump.\nNah! I do not see any harsh words from PM Trudeau and convicted felon trump shouls apology PM Traudeau as felon trump him is governor.\nThis president felon misled his country nowhere but backward ,\nWhat is he doing for better! Nah! for richer? Nah! For American greater by those tariffs to closest ally? Nah! But American intelligent communities need to find out what trump truly is.

I can make it make sense. Trudeau clearly wants to destroy this country. He is with the WEF. He has stolen from Canadian taxpayers. Let our borders be unprotected. I can go on and on, but will finish with this, he funds CNN and other news stations. People need to wake up and research!

lol. Didn’t Trudeau just step down cause Canadians hate him so much & he ruined the country? ? This outrage at Trump is all manufactured. The only people mad are the elites losing power & their shadow puppets. lol. CNN needs ratings.

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.

This is so heartbreaking. It's like everything we've worked so hard for is being ripped from ynder us. For those who voted for this mess, SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU for not doing the work needed, to make a decision that did not tear down OUR country.

A big thank you to all other Countries that stand behind Canada. Proud to be Canadian! The drug problem does come from China to Mexico then it ends up in Canada. Trump needs to do his research. Canada proud!????????

Mi dear Canadians friends you guys need to work a lil bit more with Mexico on food supply wise .\nMexico has a climate like very few countries in our planet and you Canadian government need to work more on that and keep a good trading but you guys need to explode more the climate that only Mexico offers all year long .\nIt is a shame how millionaires want to keep us down ?

I hope all countries do like Canada, we deserve this because America needs to no. We must stop being greedy

We have been asking for years. Take a good look at the city’s and the numbers of family’s kids and adults have died yearly from this.100,000s have died a year. Lives and family’s have been destroyed and the crime that has come with it. We have been asking for years now they claim they are helping. We need to depend on Americans and America more this can be good for us more Americans buying and selling to Americans. All these countries have gotten the better deal with us for years. Now we want the better deal.Our tax dollars have gone to all these other countries now we say no more and everyone is anti American.

Canada will be fine! It's the Americans that will be tariffed by many countries by the time the lunatic is done. He will burn that country to the ground. We'll see who's still standing! I'm not all that worried because besides food, which we've easily replaced what do we get from the US? Nothing we can't get elsewhere. However, the US needs our resources. The lunatic is going to speak to Canadian's later today. Someone tell him we won't be listening!

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

Does anyone need more proof that Trump is working for himself, the Rich and Putin? Trump does not believe in Our Constitution or the Beliefs of our Country. It is strictly about Gaining Power for Himself.

Bottom line we don't need shit from canada. Period. But they need a whole lot from us. Its time for these guys to pay for what they need. Usa is number 1. Other countries need us. We don't need them.

The dummies in this country need to feel it, before they will believe it. So this will be a tough lesson for us americans.

While I acknowledge that the way Trump and Vance addressed Zelensky could have been more diplomatic, as an American , I cannot justify allocating $360 billion of our tax funds towards resolving another counties war—especially when only half of that amount has been accounted for, and the other half remains untracked. Let that point sink in! The US is currently in $33 Trillion dolars in debt yet giving away money like candy . No other country is contributing money like we are . We simply do not have the resources to continue doing that . Our financial situation is worsening as we print more money to allocate toward other countries. Furthermore, 7% of the $33 trillion of the US debt is owed by other countries , including China . Our funds need to be utilized for our own benefit before being given away. We have veterans on the streets, the elderly suffering because SS isn't covering their basic needs , school system thatvis failing , health insurance unaffordable by most. We need to fix our own issues. We need to feed our own kids before we feed the neighbors, not the other way around.

What I don't like is the millionaires that move our jobs out of our country to benefit themselves. My father lost a good manufacturing job because labor was cheaper in some other county. Now look at Boeing. Somehow we need someone that is looking out for US! Trying to bring jobs and industry back to the USA. Trudeau is a terrible leader and I'm happy to see him squirm.

Who cares what he says ? idiot working to make peace and of course you don’t want it but also don’t want pay for their war. I really looked at what you import to our country I need nothing from you
