You did this justin. And dont speak for canadians because you are sooooo out of touch with the middle-class working Canadians. \nIf we paid what we promised we would pay NATO way back, this would not have happened. But if a canadian owes the government you garnish without care. But if the government owes money, it just dont pay it. Why?? Tell me why. \nAnd btw, its not you Trump will negotiate or Ford. You dont represent fellow Canadians. Step down, the faster the better. \nAnd it do not surprise me CNN is following this. Fake news bunch.

Kudos to Trudeau for speaking the 'TRUTH' about Trump's self-serving deception!

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

I am always amazed how almost EVERY other World Leader, can speak clearly and professionally, without all the BS that idiot Trump spews every time he opens his fat, orange face.\nGO CANADA!

7:50. I have to disagree w M Trudeau and the WSJ. Trump is not smart and this a dumb idea. Trump is dumb and this is a stupid idea. And I find it hilarious the as soon as Trudeau starts speaking French, CNN cuts away.

Quit speaking to us speak to TRUMP DUDE!

How refreshing it must be to have a national leader who actually speaks clearly and truthfully.\nBy choosing Trump, 50% of Americans chose chaos...and it's only beginning.

When a Canadian starts to speak sternly to you, you know: Shit is coming. As a German, I am with the Canadian people. Please, don’t let yourselves get confused: Trumps blisteringly incompetent management is what the 36% of Americans who voted for him deserve, as well as the about 30% of Americans who DIDN’T vote at all. Sorry for the other about 34%. On a side note: Amazing, how Trudeau still flatters Trump at the end. Very diplomatic and manipulative. Because Trump is so dump, he falls for shit like that.

Brilliant speech! It would be impossible for me to listen to Trump speak for that long. Probably a minute would be my limit before my brain turned to mush.

Hey Trump take note , this is how the leader of a country should act and speak. Great job Mr. Prime minister???

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

Why does Trudeau need to bullshit Trump by saying that he is a smart guy. He should speak the truth and call him an a- hole

PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!❤\nHaving said this, trying to speak to Trump like he's a normal person with intelligence and empathy is far beyond a lost cause.

Americans are carwards how can Trump push anyone threatening everyone who speaks out dictatorial regime Hitler

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

Trudeau speaks many words, I understand them, they make sense. trump speaks many words, I understand nothing, they make no sense ??❤??????

I love how Trudeau begins using words like 'big' and 'very' with much expression just like Donald Trump would when he speaks directly to him

Everybody understands but nobody really speak about Trump being hooked by Russian FSB former KGB back in 80s. His order is to destroy alliances in the western world, dissolve European Union, weaken the US. The best agent Russia ever has had.

You big orange baboon, look what a real president looks like, what a real leader speaks like on world stage. Shame on you Trump voters, shame on you MAGAs for bringing misery & hardships worldwide.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

We stand with Canada Trump does not speak for me. HATE HIM!

Why are the past presidents Bush,Obama,and Joe not speaking against Trump??

Oh, this is how President present and lead?? Trudeau presidential. He speaks clearly and respectfully.\n\n I'm jealous, Trump should learn from Trudeau.

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

We love you Canada. We wish our President was someone else. In spite of my single vote, all I can do is hang my head. Please do not think Trump speaks on my behalf. I am smarter.

Plainly speaking, it was never about fentanyl. Trump is trying to bully everyone into submission. We saw it last week with Zelenskyy. Don’t back down Canada. True Americans stand with their allies.

Trumps likes to speak over people because he always wants the final say he not interested what people have to say he wants people to shut up and obey his orders

Speak directly? Where is Trump there?

We need to boycott any media that's gonna show Trump speaking at any given time. We don't want to hear Trump. We?\nWanna take trump out of office

This is how the leader of a nation should speak. Compared to Trudeau, Trump speaks like a 6 years old with serious braindamage.

Speaks AT Trump!

For the first time, I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. Trump does not speak for me. I ask Canadians and Mexicans to stand firm against tyranny, no matter where it comes from.

Trudeau speaking french was cool the only French trump know is Manaj a troix.

I have been speaking out about the dumbness of Americans. Also Trump is a narcissist dumb ass.

Donald Trump speaks Truth and is a man of integrity who seeks peace. Facts.

I am surprised the CNN allowed any anti Trump speech here seeing as they have their head so far up Trump's backside when Jake Tapper speaks it comes out of Trump's nose!

You speak too Dumb and stupid to president trump, you will pay for the price

Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau speaks the truth. I wish we could get Trump and Vance out of office.

@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.

where does he get off speaking to us without taking permission from prez trump. I'm livid!

This is how a serious Politician would speak and not a psychopath like Trump

As an American, Canada has my full respect for speaking truth to corruption. The Trump administration is a cancer on the face of the earth.

As italian, I’ve been in Canada many time for business. Lets be honest trudeau it’s good only at speaking. You destroyed Canada with your immigration ideology. Trump is making his business, and don’t worry about usa, their economy will not be affected from the Canadian tariffs

Trudeau, you speak just like a child throwing a tantrump??????? You go Mr Trump!!

I appreciate Trudeau standing up for you Canadians. I also heard the lady standing next to Trudeau speak and she is a strong leader too. I stand with you Canadians as neither of us asked for this but we are who are going to pay for trump's bad business practices...

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

my prime minister, speaks truth, and americans u are our brothers, i know most of u dont want this, i only hope trump can smarten up i am so sad he won election

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak
