Nice speach, hope in the future Canada doesn't change there mind. When to good friends becomes enemy , always wach your step...Trump is taking revenge, ( Netanyahu).

Now this is a wise man who doesn't care about IQ results.. Trump you could learn a lot from this decent man.. it's okay to say your wrong Trump that's what make you wise! ✌️

I don't know if you've noticed, but our government doesn't give a shit about us and Trump is doubling down on that.

General Clark is baffled by Trump's strategy. How it doesn't make any sense to alienate our allies and isolate ourselves. To destroy our economy and internal workings.\n\nBut it becomes crystal clear if you accept the fact that Trump is serving Putin. He is Putin's asset. \n\nTrump's actions prove it.

With all the BS from the Trump administration, America doesn't need any extra fertilizer coming from abroad

He is talking to a idiot who doesn’t care to understand facts

Who cares what Trudeau says he is a looser and has resigned so doesn't have a mandate to make such a speech.

All of this is Trumps fault. Target RED states Canada, this is the only way stupid MAGA will understand. Stabbing your allies in the back is how you become a target. Orange moron doesn't get it.

Guess who doesn’t give a fuck? Republican Americans. You can be the 51st state tomorrow and feel fuckin honored.

I am a Canadian and this clown doesn't speak for me!

He doesn't want to see us hurt? Is that some type of threat

I never thought I would be more supportive of a government imposing tariffs on us than my own government, but hey Trump aligning the US with Putin and starting unnecessary and harmful trade wars with our allies is moronic and treasonous. The GOP used to be the party of free trade. That was literally their main plank for 40 years, and an idiot comes along who doesn't understand basic facts, such as how tariffs work, imposes them willynilly and vindictively, and the spine-challenged Congress rolls over without so much as a whimper. Meanwhile, an illegal immigrant from South Africa fires the people looking after our nuclear weapons, because he's also an idiot. And their fans lap up their clear treasonous acts.

This guy doesn’t make any sense! He is a lunatic and a cold hearted soul. He is the one causing this to Canadian Citizens!

Canada! Why doesn’t your president sound incredibly fucking stupid?! Jelly….

With a rapist mentality President Trump is manufacturing consent by suffocating Canada’s economy. If submission through economic means doesn’t work, need we look further than Putin‘s handbook to understand what’s next?

All the “I stand with Canada” clowns in the comments are either ignorant or just as weak as Trudeau. You’re standing with a leader who crippled his own economy, pushed insane carbon taxes, and sold out to China now crying because the U.S. won’t play along. News flash: Trudeau doesn’t care about you or Canada, he just needs a scapegoat for his failures. Standing with Canada? More like standing with a sinking ship while cheering on the captain who drilled the holes.

None of this matters if the dude or chick who replaces him doesn't stay firm with what he's saying

For all the people in the comments, just because he speaks clearer than some other people doesn’t mean he is right and doesn’t me he has the facts straight. Canada has slowly been falling apart with this dictator leader. Believe what ya want but this is a good thing for America

Canada is a joke. We need to invade it and just take it from them. They don't wanna play we won't pull security for you anymore. Canada doesn't offer nothing to the U.S.

I guess he forgot that MAGA doesn't care about the facts...

People have been dogging on Trudeau till he will finally be out of office and we will be starting new with someone who doesn't have the same experience. How did that work for you?

Trudeau doesn't give 2 sh_t about the canadian working class, he's a laurentian elite, just setting up his predecessor, keep talking and do nothing as always. Can't wait till carbon tax boy gets lost next week

This feminine man is a joke! Shame on CNN to give him air time. He is so stupid that he doesn’t understand that whatever he increase in tariffs, will be added to the tariffs imposed.

I lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinion of sheep ??

It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Yes it doesn’t make sense , Putin suport and against allies

The American People voted for Trumpet so its what they want, doesn't matter if it is 100% or 1000% its what the American people.

Trudeau show spine and character in his words. He doesn't suck up to trump like European leaders have been doing. Bravo.

Leaders around the world should understand one thing and one thing only, the United States of America doesn't have any friends, it has interests, you already lost if you consider the USA a friend

He doesn’t care ABOUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF CANADA ?? BUT HE EXPECTS PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS ?️ WHILE IMMIGRANTS FLOURISH BUYING CARS AND BIG HOMES ? TO CARE ABOUT HIS JOB THATS IN JEOPARDY??\n\nSorry but I VOTE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF CANADA ?

Maybe if your country would stop letting drugs come threw your boarders into the US we wouldn’t have to do this, Justin talks all this game about being nice and wanting to work together, get he lets the cartels bring drugs threw there county. We making deals else where because Justin refuses to actually work together. He can say whatever he wants but it doesn’t change the facts.

This man is a dictator and he doesn’t represent Canadians. Canada has big problems and its legal drugs are killing people and being sold everywhere. Thank you, Trump for these tariffs.???

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

If he doesn't like tariffs put on him, then he shouldn't have tariffs on us . That's why Trump has put tariffs on Canada

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

Fentanyl doesn’t kill people the same way guns don’t kill people. Americans are hypocrites

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

America doesn’t need you ! You are not friends you are a trading partner

Trump doesn’t care about fentanyl. That’s just an excuse.

I wish we had a president that was so eloquent. The hateful orange Nazi doesn’t represent all of us. God bless Canada.

I'm a Native American fm Arizona. Been ur neighbor for years!! Inspite of what Trump is doing nothing will change that!! This man call Trump is definitely not a smart man!! Otherwise, it would have been business as usual. He is rushing his agenda only to cause conflicts, gain attention and he doesn't have a whole lot of time (3 yrs 8 months)!! I'm sure the next president after he's gone will fix all the damages his caused and done!!???

I like trump for some things he does what he says . But this tariffs is a wrong move that doesn't serve anyone . it hurts every side working together makes you stronger division makes you weaker

Trudeau doesn’t give a cent about Canadians. He’s a lying piece of trash. He’s trashed our country the last 10 years.

Trump doesn't care about the american people.

Reading these comments I’m wondering how the hell Trump got into power. He doesn’t seem to have much support

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Nothing makes sense of that! \nCanada ?? ? Murderous doesn't sound good! Canada ?? ?

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

Hope he doesn't back down or get scared of trump
