I love how he is speaking to Donold's ego, saying the felon is smart! ???

So ashamed to be an American now! I stand with Canada!

Is he going to resign?

I.m With You...Canada ? I.m So Disgusted In Trump.....He's Crazy\nI Didn't Vote For His A**

I can't believe the governor of our cherished 51st state would slap tariffs on us ?

Im old enough to remember when Russia was the enemy...i believe Reagan called them the evil empire...and a few decades later conservatives are all friendly with Putin

Not druggies banging in Canadian doors. It’s citizens trying to escape the big orange.

Hey CNN. Nobody trusts you any longer. We all know the truth as other more reliable sources are out there. Give up on the lies or go bust. ?

We are tucked. Trump is evil.

Half of the US population voted to put Trump back into the White House. He has now dragged y'all into the Upside Down - a bizzaro, hellish alternate universe. As an Australian with a keen interest in US politics, I can only shake my head in disbelief and hortor. Good luck to you - you're going to need it!

Excellent speech. It will probably go down in history. Bravo, Trudeau!

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Trudeau is a criminal and a dictator

In Canada asked this man to resign? He's the best representative of that country my friends from Canada you should reconsider letting this man go is way more articulate than our moron in Chief our orange headed prize

Canada is going to kick Trumps butt. Period.

Donald Trump is a big fake conservative. Never seen a conservative government behaving like this.

As someone on the right of the political spectrum, I never thought I would ever agree with a word that Trudeau says.\nAnd yet here we are. He's right. Absolutely right. \n\nAnd time passes. Where we are today might not be where we are tomorrow. Ok, go and shit all over your closest friends. But understand that the world can change very quickly. You might one day need that friend.

This is a real leader ???????? ?? ?? Not an old senile dictator puppeteer clown ? that has constant KAREN MELTDOWNS

sounds like someone is butthurt

No problem!! We will raise our tariffs!!

I guess Canadians forgave Trudeau from freezing their bank accounts. Go figure!

What I wouldn't give to have a leader even half as good as Prime Minister Trudeau currently heading my shitshow of a country as opposed to its malignant, selfish buffoon of a president to whom this speech is directed.

Putin is a real leader for Russia. You are an embezzler & corrupt. we are sick and tired to have to pay the way for all our so called friends. Mutual friendship is what Putin offers.

Does MAGA really wants this? How are they educated ?

Trump is doing exactly what murderer Putin wants him to do. So he is cutting off his own nose to spite his face. Never in my days have I saw such destruction in our blessed nation. Trump needs to be impeached. He is anything but American.

The people cheering this move by Trump are the same people who complained groceries prices were too high under Biden during the election. Well, buckle the F up because you all asked for what's coming.

It's because up until now you've shown Trump you are a weak leader. He doesn't respect you.

CNN

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

Trudeau says tariffs against Canada products hurt American families, so on that point let me be crystal clear... \nIf tariffs are so bad for the American people, why are you doing the same thing and placing tariffs against American products, wouldn't that just hurt Canadian families?\nOh lets just look at the facts: You are lying and totally speaking out of your arse to get what you want. Boo hoo...

Speaking the truth. I'ma nationalistic American and Canadian PM Trudeau is speaking the truth that we all wanna hear after what our own US president did to ruin America and make our lives worse. I fully support Canada now.

He is lies and lies that all .

Russia is a part of nato

He said it best

Make Canada great!

Looks scared to me.\nAfter how he treated the truckers and supporters hes scum.

Trump is destroying everything but cozying up to a war criminal.

F***in' communist!

Comment section is filled with libetards

The answer is Boycott

This man stole all his guns from his country

I’m from Michigan and totally agree with Canada ? ??

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau, very clear precise without name calling and shouting but this is exactly how intelligent leadership respond. My only correction would be to your statement that trump is a smart man; no sir but I understand the need not to obliterate him.

Trudeau can suck it!

Y’all are gonna screw around and start WW 3

We are looking out for our own country. The UAS has the right to do this.

Trump is a felon

The moment Pres. Trump threatened Canada with the tariff trade war months ago, I was shocked. How come your closest ally, a friend, your closest neighbor, shared the longest border in the world, fought side by side in ww1, ww2, middleast conflicts etc., and now the relationship starts to deteriorate because of one man's arrogance.

Boycott all US affiliated companies and products here in Canada friends!

This makes me so sad. The Canadians are our friends. It boggles my mind that Republicans think he is their savior. How ignorant
