CNN is a true propaganda machine. I don’t know if it’s intentional to help drive the numbers up on the right. But it’s working. Keep it up. \nPeople have internet access and take trips around the world. This shit only works on people that don’t come outside and solely rely on cable tv.

I hope they know not all of us on the USA is backing Trump!!!

I know he's being a diplomat but he should have said 'Donald you're NOT a very smart guy and this is a dumb decision'. All leaders are being so careful with Trump because he can literally take everything so personal and then go into vengeance. He is just not cut out to do this job.

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.

Zelensky you don’t have a leg to stand on.. You should have made the boarder and drugs coming into America more of a priority…! Now you will be tariffed until you comply! Simple! It’s going to hurt your country more than ours he knows this and now is panicking!!

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

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.

When Canada’s prime minister cares more about Americans than the current president does… you know America is in trouble….

We voted for it. We know we have been taken advantage of for many decades.

There is no logic, reason or precedent for these tariffs. It’s just on a whim, on a crackpot idea from a man who knows nothing about international economics. It’s folly.

If anyone has kept up with Canada and Trudeau’s policies they know he has crippled Canada’s economy. This is a reciprocal tariff , why should they have tariffs on U.S. and U.S. not have any on them. Seems fair, Americans don’t need Canadas goods and have been overly charitable towards them. Very good theatre performance ?

This is what a competent politician sounds like- not the goof ball weak bully in our White House. And you know everyone including his supporters know this.

Amazing, a World leader that stands up to the thug known as Trump, if only America politicians showed such leadership America would not be in the mess they are in now, Trump will be know as Passion Fingers, because everything he touches he FU#KS

Please know that most Americans don't want this made up fight with our wonderful up north friends and neighbors.

You know there is something wrong with how you think when you cheer on other countries over your own because you don't like the President,I honestly don't believe Democrats even know the meaning of Patriotism\nSICK!!!!!

Somebody please clap on his speech,\nAtleast the world could know that he is talking sense ?

FREEMASONS DON'T WANT WANT CANADIAN AND AMERICAN TO KNOW WHAT IS COMING THAT IS THE COLLAPSE OF WESTERN SOCIETY.\n\nTHESE FMASONS ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? FROM DTJ TO JT

Here's an idea, CNN: when Trudeau switches to French, you get a French translator! I wanted to hear what he said in French too! And you have to know by now that whenever the Canadian prime minister speaks, there will be a mix of French and English. Always. Be prepared!

The media sides with anybody who criticises Trump, the president knows what hes doing, look at what the chinese did to our granite construction products, dump cheap crap to put our ppl out of business, Canada does this as well, you have to explore things between the lines, why is Trudeau spreading fear if this wasnt going to benefit our country?

Remember, lunatic MAGA voters voted for this. They were told this would happen and they refused to listen. Bunch of bigoted racist hateful assholes who ruined the American economy and its trade relations with its allies. Just know that tariffs are the least of your problems. The sentiment from across all American “former” allies is to completely boycott American goods and services. And that is not going away regardless of whether tariffs on either side are dropped. You want fascism, good for you. The rest of then sane west ain’t with you. Get rid of your pro Putin fascist Nazi saluting government, then we might be open for negotiations.

Thanks to Trudeau ?? for handling American counterparts well! Trump doesn’t know how to run his country and hurting other countries!

America or Americans are backing the Canadian prime minister…..in Gods name when will America know that Mr Trump haven’t had his filter coffee ?❤

It must be nice to know I surrendered in 2 languages ?

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

Only thing is 1% that we know of..how much REALLY is going through?

It’s not the US!!! It’s the dumbest president of the United States and the trumpets that don’t know anything about nothing!!!

From UK. 95% of people I know stand with Canada and expect our own government to do as much as they can to help. Many individuals are already refusing to buy US goods and services and have cancelled holidays to the USA. No more Florida, Las Vegas or even California.

Go Canada! Good job. Trump is an ass**le. I know most world leaders must believe this too but just had to say it myself - feel better now?

Where is his Tie from?Brioni? Zegna? Anyone know?

Trump managed to piss off Canada, a country that literally has no issues with anyone, like how do you do that? Canada is like the nice popular girl out of the popular girls group. Like she knows she’s pretty and popular but is humbled about it . And when her friends bully you, she stands up for you. Only trump can manage to piss off someone like that off. From Australia, we stand with you Canada!

Trump knows what he's doing!?

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Y know what is really stupid? Are the American businesses ready for Canadian goods,parts and materials replacements? Of coarse no.THEN WHY Redhair freak started the trade war now? He set Americans same way as he does with Canadians.Then who really needs it ? HIM.THAT REDHAIR FOOL IN ORDER TO PERFORM ON VIDEOCAMERAS ONE MORE DAY showing own toughness.He would rather show it to his wife and kids conservative way he likes.

I don't know why Mr Trump would bother listening to trudeau cause his track record is pretty bad

Don't you know that more than 20 years ago Trump was recruited in Moscow and his KGB nickname is Krasnov? And this is only because Trump was filmed with prostitutes in a sauna in Moscow? This is beyond belief. Go out into the streets and throw Trump out of the White House.

American ppl have created this monster ? and being honest w/u, they don’t know 2 get rid of it ?????. This is non sense issue ????

Thanks President Donald J Trump . A guy who knows everything , even before you ask him a question. What a Grnius. ?

Hahaha what is this clown talking about! He knows canada will end upp on the lossing end of this tariffs

Trump knows its not about drugs. He wants all Canadian minerals for nothing. He is acting like a thug along with Vance and Musk

Donald Trump knows that his trade war with Canada, Mexico and China will damage America’s economy. That is why he is doing it. He is purposely hurting the American economy in order to help Putin. How is that every American can’t see that Trump is a Russian asset? He is doing everything that he can to unstable the American government. The writing is on the wall America. Wake up!

I don't know what Trump up to but im an American and thats what side im on, prices were going to increase anyways, we got the money ? Trump 2028

From Oklahoma, so many here support you Canada and Trudeau and also Zelenskyy! I know it doesn’t seem like it but there is indeed a big community here that isn’t brainwashed ?

Humm finally the war is knocking on our door ..only God knows..we love usa and every other countries around the world

Every action - equal reaction! Know how it feels when you and the other poodles started the circus clown diplomacy with India! Exactly the same way relations plummeted with India

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

As a US citizen, please know we do not want this either.

Here’ a leader that knows what he’s talking a bout, very intelligent in comparison to the illiterate USA president Trump. America sack Trump before he totally ruins the once mighty us a.

Threats threats threats from all these foreigners threats we do respond to threats in the United States y'all need to know that

Trump is bullying Canada and Mexico. That’s all he knows how to do. Has nothing to do with drugs or immigration. And yes Putin pulled the wool over Trumps eyes.
