Hey Trudeau just pay the tariffs or be our 51st state. Don’t do any retaliatory tariffs or you’re killing your own peoples

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

Russia wants a United States of America for they self so they’re going to try to hurt us. Wake the fuck up.

As an American, it pains me to see Canada show such poise and leadership. We're wasting our lives and future hoping that our government will save us, yet it digs us deeper into ignorance and suffering.

Connecticut here. Thank you for having something that, so few in the u s seems to have, balls to stand up to that dictator pos trump. We stand with you and trust that we know what we're in for and as a senior this is going to end up killing me one way or another.

This President and this administration know exactly where fentanyl ingredients originate from, but they're not going to do anything to China

You're too late, Trudeau. You should have responded back in November. When Trump mentioned it, but you decided to go hiding.\nNow it's your fault.Nobody else to blame but you\nAs a canadian, I am totally disgusted with your response to this!!

I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian. \nI am very proud of our Prime Minister. He speaks with truth and facts. He is articulate, calm, and composed. Such a contrast to what the world experienced watching trump and vance kibosh the Ukraine president. Trump and vance were utterly disgusting. \nGood luck to those of you in USA who didn't vote for trump and the nightmare you're dealing with. \nCanada, elbows up!❤

Trudeau, you're an idiot.

This why you're My good friend and always

Watching this is amazing. I'm no fan of Trudie, but right now he's doing alright.\nI hate to tell the Americans watching, we did try to tell you and personally I feel for less than half of your people. The fact that the blue leaning public had to so dumb as to use THIS election to show your dissatisfaction with Biden and Harris is leading many people around the world to wonder if America is even worth worrying about at all. How can you's be this stupid you're no better than the MAGA crowd.

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

From America ?? I say THANK YOU Canada ?? !!! You’re Standing Tall to the lies!! The Dictators! Canada HAS and Always will be our Brothers & Sisters, Friends !! ❤ Bravo to the BRAVEST!!!

Trump isn’t the President we Democrats voted for the first time or this last time, and he’s lied to his Republican Constituents and they’re mad! They’ll vote with us in the midterms, but until then Trump must be Impeached! Impeached! Impeached! Vance must be Impeached! Impeached! Impeached!

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

We’re only vacationing in Canada until trump is OUT! Go Canada!!!! ??

Listening to Trudeau I am truly saddened that again USA has somehow elected a man who has systematically dismantling all of American's governments that oversee consumer rights and regulations while simultaneously fiscally attacking our neighbors, closest allies on all of our borders, meanwhile speaking publicly about a globally known dictator whose personal beliefs against democracy in his own country as well as the rest of the free world. I believe that a majority of Americans like myself are left shocked after this election and do not stand behind any of these unorganized, erratic government actions as we're looking at as a whole seem to be purposely creating a atmosphere of chaos and instability seemingly without responsibility there seems to be none in charge.

This is how a true leader speaks to his countrymen and the world, he doesn't need a half dozen bully boys hovering over him and abusing the allies they're pushing away from their country.

America is no longer a reputable country. You're in the lap of Putin, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. THAT is what this is about. Trump is OBVIOUSLY a Russian asset. What other reason could he have? He's an idiot, but he's very sensitive to changes in the market, EXCEPT this time. Why is that? Your president is working for Russia. Get rid of him by any means.

We’re watching the downfall of the USA. Trump is a clown.

Done with America!!!...\n\nFentanyl HAS NOTHING to do with these Tariffs\n\nIts a SHOW for Russia ...\n\nRemember his PRIVATE meeting with Putty in Saudi, duh???\n\nYou'll be isolating YOURSELVES!!!!\n\nKing Donald strikes again MAGA\nWhat FOOLS!!!!\n\nPartner with Russia, USA!!!\n\nThe WORLD is a bigger playground.\nYou're OUTNUMBERED!!!

Ok Trump it was a funny PR run at first but relax. You’re turning allies against us

So I take it we’re stuck with high interest that looks like it will never go down

Go Canada! We're not all in agreement with this nonsense..

Europe, we're going to need your help!! ????

? the comments on here are ridiculous. Why would Canada prefer a trade war over simply securing their border? Obviously they’re in bed with China who is the main supplier of fentanyl. Trump isnt just randomly saying this. He is guided by the best intelligence agencies in the world.

Trump has made ruZZia's cruel dick-tator his closest friend, not ours, not our America's, which has not lost its love and appreciation for its neighbors, and especially Canada, its cousin! For some reason, we are now governed by a complete psycho moron and his cabal, whose sole interest is $money$, as they value nothing else in life. This is a republican coup. We're sorry and apologize to the world, and especially Ukraine, for this disaster. We hope to be a free nation again one day! Peace, Hope & Love from a dying nation.

I don't believe PM Trudeau represents the Canadian people, I believe they're ready for change as well, especially after what he and his fellow elitist done to those hard working truckers and their families ✌️?

A Canadian here who can't agree with the disparaging comments about Trudeau. He has done more good than some earlier Prime Ministers. Enjoying the new free dental coverage he just established? I disagree with him here though when he says Canadians don't hold this tariff thing against Americans. WE DO! You're the ones who elected this wrecking ball who destroys everything (and everyone) he touches. I encourage all our Europeans friends to buy Canadian whenever possible.

Dallas, Texas here. Talk yo shit Canada!! Let them know you're not backing down

Can someone intelligent please explain with evidence why we’re at a war with Canada? How does this make America great again?

We’re cooked

I don't think Donald Trump borrowed a shitload of money from the bank and isn't paying the bank like Justin says the deficit will pay for itself I don't know what idiot thinks that but he does he's the reason why we're in trouble if he didn't have this country so screwed up we'd have something to fight with.

Correction... 3:18 they only want a New Golden Age for billionaire oligarchs.\nIt's sad. My family arrived at both Plymouth and Acadia. I love both, both are my blood.\nDon't be fooled, you're about to see the mass movement of money and capital away from working people and into the pockets of the global elite.\nLet the money grab begin!

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

Trudeau speaks the truth!!! I love my Canadian friends and neighbors!!! \nWe’re in a dictatorship

Good luck to our friends across the pond. Seems we're all going to suffer but I think you might just have it worse. The rest of the world has options but you're stuck with the idiot.

They're playing good cop bad cop. Who's the victim? Both people

I remember your previous video on Canada. You missed a lot of the warning signs that many Canadians saw that you're highlighting now

Wow, I love the way Trudeau is honest with his people. America can't say the same. One thing Canada has is a leader who is for them. America is about to see how big a difference that actually makes in such times. We're divided while they're together.

If you’re from USA and support anyone other than USA first….LEAVE

Dear Mr. Trudeau. Although your presentation is articulate and to the point, I feel that you’re using too many words for the average MAGA American to comprehend. Here’s a sample; tariff bad, you pay too much for stuff bought at Walmart.

Can Trump be removed NOW from power and have a referendum and re-do of the election? There should be some sort of return policy just as in business. Maga Americas have realized now I hope that what they voted for is the destruction of our country and it's citizens. Let's draw straws and have a popular vote on candidates of all parties and solve this calamity.

Donald Trump is THE ANTICHRIST and a BULLY Canada, we're with you Blessings and HUGS MARANATHA ???

So, has the USA under Trump turned into a Russian asset.?\nSeriously, the rest of the civilised world especially us in the UK are looking in open-mouthed astonishment at the behaviour of the nominal leader of the free world.\nAmerica is morphing into a broken and divided society, but in the meantime, you're scaring everyone else guys, including your historical allies, because Trump is untrustworthy, he's coming across like a gangster who sees everything as a opportunity for self-enrichment.\nTrump is looking like Putin's Poodle.\nPutin really has got him on a collar and lead, definitely his yappy little Handbag dog..!!!

The relationship has been damaged. You can’t bully entire countries into doing what you want. They’re not a Casino, they’re a Nation, Donald—the second worst President in our history! The #1 Worst is you too!

He's being the same as always. Saying the opposite. And since U.S. has imposed a25% tariff on Canada, that means Canada has that tariff on U.S. so stuck it up and you're on way out bye ?

I do not want a trade war with anyone, but if you’re already doing tariffs on the US. Then we need to return the favor. I personally like Canada but if you play fair, so will we.

From Virginia; not all of us support this, we're just not entirely sure what to do at this moment.

We're in a civil war here in the US
