Trudeau is also the leader of Kalistani terrorists group in Canada, people must know this fact ....

More leader need to speak this frankly to Trump and call out his bs and out and out lies. Everyone one with a brain can see Trump is an crazy narcissist who knows nothing about running a country for the people and it’s best interest, or understands what tariffs actually are and how they work. Trump only sees what Trump can gain personal and for his rich buddies.

We know Trump is lying, but we have a bunch of racists misogynistic people in this country!

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

Fentanyl is fuckin up white people the most lol now it's not a war on fentanyl like it was a war on crack cocaine lol if you're not woke then stay stupid! The pot called the kettle black but when it's white y'all act like it's haven't been always White people that know they're wrong and call you woke ?????? don't cry for you cry because you woke up and now they say that was yesterday and not today but that was the law yesterday and still is today ???

The racist and the racist whites and blacks and all other racist in the United States voted for this guy and corrupted their friends who were innocent and didn’t know who to follow brainwashed them to vote for dump trump and you see the things he do and being good friends with Putin and the United States are stuck with him for another 3-4 years that’s how bad it is in most parts of America welcome to corrupt freedom and there it is but hello to our friends who still stand for democracy and the real presidents that run the country the right way we still follow behind you Obama Biden Kamala Harris and the other Democrats and not delusional republicans to stand against dictators and evil corrupt officials and evil corrupt people in this world! ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????

Lol this will be interesting he giving this long speech which is great but you know what he could have did put people on the boarder we shall see how this play out for everyone

Most people in America dont even know what a tariff is and what it means for them in America.......lol

So now the government in Canada wants to defend us & tell us to stand united but in the past decade this country has turned into trash as they gave it away with an open door of Indians taking over and not giving AF about the people born and raised here - the adds on the radio ask us to keep our money in Canada and untie, but we dont even have a Canadian culture left anymore and people living here long enough know its true unfortunately, this was a great place to live but they destroyed it long before this issue - cost of living, housing crisis, immigration, gangs, crime etc. - If they want to keep letting people in here then start a service to help us get out and relocate before asking for help from the people you hurt

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

Don't worry Tariffs are paid for by Canada I really do not know if he is so stupid he believes that or he knows and does not care either way it is so dumb and hurtful to think otherwise. The last time tariffs like this were in place was the late 1800's and early 1900's. If anyone know this time it was the time of the oligarchs like Rockefellers Carnegies that road the backs of the everyday Americans making them the richest people in the world. Notice a theme here, I do!!

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

We Americans know how to deal with this Mr Trudeau. Do something good for your own people before you come on us.

i know Trudeau gets a lot of crap from people, but my god this was a hell of a speech. same with Bernie Sanders' speech. i got goosebumps and also trying to fight back tears simultaneously. my ex wife is disabled receiving social security, medicare, and medicaid due to being in a wheelchair and requiring consistent medical care and attention. she receives, and is expected to survive on, $800 a month and $300 in foodstamps. she lives in campgrounds which is 90% cheaper than rent, and still has to budget, struggle and go without a lot to make life work all while being in tremendous pain and reliant on help from others. Trump, Elon, and all the other billionaires in charge are literally trying to make the ones suffering the most to suffer more while making them even richer. its absolutely disgusting how soulless these CEOs are. the world is ashamed of us and frankly if you are American and not ashamed and embarrassed by what these billionaires are doing with our relationship to not only our country but the entire world....then you arent a patriot, you are a cult follower, and you are part of the problem.

I just hope he knows that a lot of America's didn't vote for Donald....we're good and decent people. We are also getting hurt by Donald

I want this trade war, and I want Trudeau gone. I am from Canada. \nSo many people do not know about his government and the damage they caused.\nFacts little then 1% get scanned at ports. Canada does not screen airflights enough. \nAlso, Trudeau did not close the air down from covid to safe borders.\nTrudeau is lucky he is not behind bars the scandals he got away with is insane.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

Trudeau is saying exactly more or less what zelensky was saying when he went into the Trump's den and got mauled by all of the Mega Trump cult conspiracy supporters. I don't know what Kool-Aid they've been drinking but it's betrayal and hazardous to our allies and most of the American people. The only party that gets stronger from this is russia. Our present obviously has been compromised by Vladimir Putin he's a traitor he should be tried for treason. In the end soon he will get his pay back one way or another for causing so much outrage

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

Mexico always has been an ally for USA and Canada, I don't know why USA goverment treat us like this, we should be working together instead of this, the only affected people are the people in the 3 countrys

I've always liked Canada. Beautiful country and awesome people. Greetings from Poland ? \nLet's make The US know it's place

I can't believe the negative response to Donald Trump. He knows exactly what he is doing. This is just Step 1.He is playing his cards and he will get exactly.What will work for the american people

The US is isolating itself from the world. It is indeed the strongest and the richest country. But the decisions, the current admin has made will damage the United States. Specifically the people of the estates with or without knowing, they will pay for the cost caused by the wrong decision made by MAGA. This is really sad to see how they divide themselves and the world. Only a few of idiots has gotten so much power to harm normal people who are only interested in living a peace and happy life with loved ones or their own family but now their suffer just started.

Andai presiden Indonesia seperti ini. Berani, pelindung masyarakat, dan mereka tahu apa yang mereka akan lakukan. In english: If only the president of Indonesia were like this. Brave, a protector of the people, and they know what they are going to do

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

I Would like People to Know, as Far as Best President's in the History 2024 Ranking, Predident Obama was Ranked 7th, President Biden Ranked 14th, and Finally, where do think the individual that's back in the most Powerful Office Ranked, Dead last, and still they put him back in to office after all the Turmoil this child has brought to America, now I wonder, is America this Naive to be Conned again, and with all the Destruction and Hate on his hands, Amazing!!!?

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

American here. I am on a limited income (Social Security) but I 100% support Canada & what Canada needs to do to counteract the actions of our incompetent, insane 'President'. Go Canada! We not-insane Americans salute you & apologize for our 'Orange Menace'. We look forward to when our governments can be friends again. Our two peoples will always be Friends! (I have family there also.) P.S. The drug issue is a fake issue on the part of the Trump Administration. We all know it's the market that drives illegal drugs-- i.e. our own drug abusers buying this stuff. Cheers, & With Hopes for a Better America. (And Slava Ukraine!)

American people just know that Trump is not on your side. He is a dictator siding with Putin.

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

Just a reminder, Canada/Trudeau commited multiple atrocities against free speech and wellbeing during covid. One example being how they froze the bank accounts of people peacefully protesting the covid mandates. While I don't agree with the tariffs, everybody here should know Canada isnt the perfect, kind, friendly place you think it is. They will turn totalitarian if given enough power or given the right conditions for it.

51st state! Here we come! ? you’d be surprised how many people I know who wouldn’t mind this at all.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

You wanna work “with” us because you can’t afford our tariffs I stand with President Donald Trump it’s not our job to make sure your economy can thrive that’s is why we are separate countries. Donald Trump knows what he’s doing, sometimes people have to focus on themselves and their own country thriving and not worry about extending a helping hand to every other country. A real man wouldn’t sit up there crying about a tax, Man up Trudeau.

You people do know that the majority of this country does not agree with you right? We support Donald Trump and will stand by him as he makes America better again. We are getting stronger as new companies come in and will put many American workers to work. American workers will produce better products.

Just to let you know people watch out for Jean-Claude couture in Stratford Quebec he's my cousin he's the biggest thief in the world my parents didn't even like him and we took him in on his sixth birthday and I was a year old my parents left everything to me all of a sudden he has everything karma is a b****all I can say is watch out for mother karma

Please Canada PLEASE KNOW we are NOT being represented by by that orange, drunk party clown with many known and unknown mental problems. \nthe PEOPLE does NOT side with him and we are TRAPPED HERE on all sides. What can we do to get another country/countries to step in and HELP US!!!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!\nWe are watching the world around us burn and we. Need. HELP! \n \n? PLEASE PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! ?

I'm a Canadian. I am trying to wrap my head around why a President would start a trade war by imposing tariffs that hurt their allies and hurt his own people..!? I am not an economist nor an investor; However I found it interesting that the immediate result of this as they corresponded about this news is how the markets are taking a major dive. If I wanted to make money off the stock market and had no morals and had the power to cause it to crash, I would make sure it crashed hard by imposing tariffs. Then I would invest as many billions in the key stocks that will come back, and watch my billions turn into 10's or 100's of billions...\nThe other possible explanation could simply be that he wants all the critical minerals from Canada, Greenland, Ukraine for nothing. Taking those minerals for free and selling electric cars, miliatary equipment, etc. would be most profitable!\nBut greed seems to know no bounds for those who are wealthy, as long as it's at their gain and not at their expense!

First, the orange criminal is not a “very smart” man. At best he has, perhaps, average intelligence, but worst, he is dangerously ignorant of history and facts (how many other Americans over forty don’t know the significance of Pearl Harbor?). Sadly, for the U.S. and the entire world, Americans have seen fit to place a person with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger into the White House – again – they didn’t learn the first time.\n\nSecond, on this fentanyl thing. Are the vast majority of Americans children? The best way to keep them from becoming addicted or killing themselves with the stuff is to keep it from them? Where is the self-control…the ability of people to tell themselves no? The easiest way to kill any business is to starve it of customers.

They call him antichrist but to me that is crap,trump is the worst president who is making decisions foolishly n American love it bcoz they have no choice,they know they choose the worst person for leadership,this guy is using his ego n his mind in making decisions,leadership is a think of listening n acting accordance with the majority not by one's will,if one uses his knowledge, his knowledge can never suit the world,the computer is for the world but with people's mind,it is not working on its own.

We know he's a liar. We know he's making up stupid stuff for reasons to convince people that it's true. But it is not true.

The canadian people are about to show americans what war means and how we stand strong. We will not be pushovers and i know rest of world will back us!!

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

You people in America aren't sorry about what's happening fake woke in these comments, you people know full well what you were voting for, a racist degenerate white man in Trump..

Amazing how so many people have so much to say, yet know so little about what they talk about. Thank GOD trump won the 2024 election.

As an American Donald Trump was a mistake. It's time for the American people to wake up and admit their mistakes. An inflated ego is not good. My fellow American we don't want a president with an inflated ego, who will never admit his mistake. People will definitely die because of this fool of a man. Imagine 5 years or 4 years of this. I can go on for many paragraphs but what's the point since I firmly know that my point will be proven in less than a year. Don't forget the employment rate keeps rising, inflation is rising. No wages increase for the citizens of the country. Medical and Medicaid will be cut as well as social security. Mass layoffs, it's also not easy to get a new job. Well I think we will have to migrate to other countries but that will not help. The only solution is to have him removed from the oval office.
