I sure as hell didn't vote for this POS. New York City supports you, Canada.

Please make sure that what you are saying is all from Trump and NOT ALL the United States! Soooo many Americans do not support that guy!!!

Good luck USA, make America great looser again?? Trump will be one making the money and US poor will go more poorer and Oligarchs will surely take over US.

I'm Canadian and have never seen our society so united. Donald is picking a BS fight. I have heard from dozens of people in my life alone say they will not buy American or visit the US for the next 4 years. It will hit US business hard to lose a consumer base with the population the size of California. Not to mention I'm sure Mexicans will do the same.

This is BEYOND enraging and embarrassing as an American. Trump is the biggest danger to the world and world peace! Millions of us Americans support you Canada and Ukraine! And Trumps supporters sure are quiet about those supposed “cheap eggs” here comes the disastrous tariffs!

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

Kudos to the person who wrote him this speech. Not sure what great things he did that he speaks of… why didn’t he talk weeks ago before the taarifs? One speech without um, hum, ah… finally but still he must go!

People in the comments keep praising this guy..... sure he gave a nice professional speech. But, it doesn't change the fact that he's a joker and a complete douchebag to his country and to others especially India

Pretty sure that Trump and his followers wouldn’t understand a word like, “Pretext.”

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Trump has made sure that USA is not credible. We do feel bad for the Americans that did not vote for him but it will only get worse… Trump and Putin are in bed together.

Well CNN can thank god for YouTube because there sure isn't anyone watching them on TV.

Being it's come down to this division and dealing with Traitor Trump I am sure Trudeau's relieved his role as Prime Minister is quickly coming to an end.

Well I know I wanted some of my friends to hear the beginning of this I'm not sure about the last 2/3 cuz I give up

Bravo Trudeau , we are proud of you !!!! We are very sure the Canadian Conservative party supporters are very sad at this moment but we don't care about the US supporting Canadian parties.

I hope that somebody in the administration who can make sure that the country doesn’t fall apart before the next four years is over, who knows what’s gonna happen at this point?

uk will trade with canada no problem and ukraine \nfrom a scot cant see the canadians backing down \nMinister Justin Trudea what a leader first time i have ever listened closely to this guy top man\nam sure the people in america in shock what is happening with their country

I see the comment section is completely one sided which is obsurd considering the # of views this video has(over 5.5 million in just 7 hours) and over 70k comments yet not a single comment opposes Canada ? I'll be sure to come back to this video later to verify my comment has been deleted. I'm taking a screenshot of this post after I hit comment as proof an attempt to make an opposing opinion on a cnn video was done, but was quickly removed. Lets see.....

I'm not sure Americans can understand this without name calling, repeating the same thing over and over, and pausing to s*** his pants

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

Our imports from Canada are like 1% of our GDP, our exports to Canada are close to 20% of Canada’s GDP. Pretty sure the US will be okay.

From Portugal ?? here: I will make sure to buy more Canadian?? products

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

Have fun with Trudeau. Im sure hes gonna make everything alright in Canada. ???

America voted for this, I sure hope I don’t hear one darn complaint from any republicans . Personally I think this is a nightmare. All of it

America! You are heading for ww3 against china very soon, are you sure you want to turn key allies against you?

With these tariffs, Trudeau has made assurances to the Canadian businesses and ppl that they will be protected by the government. What assurances has our President to make sure our businesses and our ppl are protected? I’ve heard nothing…

No its simple, you take as much as you sell. Simple financial mathmatics.\nIm sure the US can sustain not having canadian products.\nHere in the uk we dont want your goods if you dint buy ours.

nobody cares what a corrupt, pedophile thinks. I am sure a few Canadian truckers, would like to educate him in freedom and liberty

You lied about Trump being for Trump and we sure don't need lesson from you and your failing country I read Canadian people not to happy with you.

Trump is NOT intelligent. He's borderline illiterate. Ask him about Yosemite or ingesting bleach. TV savvy for sure, but intelligent - not at all.

This is exactly why Putin did everything in his power to make sure Trump will be selected. Divide et Impera. Russians and Chinese definitely know how to do it. They know the only way USA and west will crumble is FROM INSIDE.

Can like-minded freedom loving countries create their own trading partners around the world? Let dictator led countries have their own. We'll see who will survive . I am sure FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL!!!

I wonder how many Americans bring fentanyl into Canada ? I’m sure it’s pretty even.

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

Terrific! If Trudeau would always talk and act like this, he'd for sure still be prime minister. Sadly he doesn't. \nBut this was such a great speech, wonderful. The complete opposite of the screaming, ranting, insulting, hating and nearly exploding blood preasure patient orange the u.s. calls president.

The only thing I know for sure about Trump is that he would gleefully scorch the whole of the Earth, if he could be king of the ashes. \nHe is a disgrace. History will show him as a stain that has forever tarnished our reputation worldwide.

As an American, let me respond with, I don't need anything Canada is exporting. Pretty sure this will hurt Canadians far more than it's gonna hurt Americans. For those of you on here that might not grasp the situation, Canada has a higher value of exports into America than America has exports into Canada by over $100 Billion. Good Luck Canada.

6:43 Sure we stuck to our word but that's irrelevant. Dump is intent on getting his hands on Canada's natural resources because he thinks leaving any money on the table is criminal. He thinks it's a failing that we haven't treated our environment like an oligarch's playground, selling off everything to the highest bidder. This is what he has TOLD you he is planning for America and he's created this trade war smokescreen to keep everyone distracted while he does it. He won't be done until all of North America and Greenland are barren and there's no profit left to make.

Trump on day ONE gave tax breaks to the richest (includes him!), he sold your federal government to Elon so he can issue contracts to himself, he has insulted, alienated and threatened allies (ex-allies now) and he made it known that he stands with dictators like Kim Jong and Putin. Yet millions of you would probably vote for him again. Not sure if USA can redeem itself.

Hmmm this must be what its like when a Countries leader shows how its done....Talking about generational border controll using real available tech even!?? Im sure Actuall WALLS maybe involved... Not a FENCE WITH HOLES IN IT!!!

let me be clear to all americans as a canadian. i dont know ANYONE that isnt furious at the united states for those tarrifs. you dont actually need to pull the products off of the shelfs, pretty much every canadian will stop buying american stuff until those tarrifs are lifted. im pretty sure all american companies lost 50+% of their custommer base in canada.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

I sure hope our American friends don't take the retaliation personally.

Thought this loser resigned? Communist News Network gotta do their do diligence and be sure to promote the loser.

7:42 ...I know one thing for sure...Come on Justin:) , we all know is not true. Even that smile on the girl face:) GO CANADA!!!

We don't want to it's either and I sure didn't vote for anyone involved. 2:20

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

Foreigners or should I say colonizers!? are confused!? Why don't you get back on the Mayflower an head back an regroup to wherever you came from. Make sure you have your set of government instead of going by Indigenous constitution.!?
