Canada is a joke. We need to invade it and just take it from them. They don't wanna play we won't pull security for you anymore. Canada doesn't offer nothing to the U.S.

I think this is the wrong approach. It's too preachy! Not all Americans are selfish and self serving and it would be better to play on their sympathies!

Thank you Canada ?? \nSorry for the inconvenience but we have a Dictator and he is not playing fair to you and to other countries. Blessings to your country and the people that live there. ???☮️❤️✨✝️????????????\nI LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT.

God help the Americans. You all will NEED it. Trump trying to play a country like a company is shameful. Countries are countries. Not this bullshit. Canada will stand hell or high water.

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

Trump is not being played Trump is doing exactly what Trump wants to do because he wants to be an authoritarian country plain and simple so sorry America that you are going to change in a way that you will never escape

DT loves himself too much to ever believe he is being played. He thinks this is respect from Putin. He doesn't even know the difference.

The Handmaid's Tale\nThis show is now playing on news media! \n♥️ ?? ?

Canada is soo much more ahead. Shaming the Canadian pm,doesnt help to disguise the screw ups coming from the US.. \n\nCanada shows having balls& self respect. \n\nMany countries can learn from their insights..\n\nCNN,.. write this down in paper... And read it back.. \n\nCNN ( the US one) need to get look at themselves,the attitude is beyond arrogant. \n\nYou forget that the whole world sees the tricks youve played for decades. \nManipulating/suggesting .. \nPlease.. Americans,canadians,europeans, asian citizens Arent that dumb.. stop behaving that we are..

Trudeau, you crook, you very conveniently say that you are putting the 25% tariff after we did it-but its the OTHER way around. You and Mexico have been putting the 25% during Bidens time and Biden would not reciprocate. Dont play with Trump?

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

I’m sorry the President is such an Ass Hole. This is not about us as a nation, this is him playing bully at all of our expense.

So Canada and Europe impose stiff tariffs on US goods, ( upwards of 300%). But the US is irrational if they impose 25%?!? We then pay to protect these clowns\n\nThe days of an unequal playing field that puts America last are over

All Canadian tariffs should come in to play now. Hurt the US.

We would not be in this mess if America elected an actual businessperson (Mitt Romney). Instead they chose an actor who played a businessperson on TV.

I am extremely saddened and embarrassed by our president's actions. Seeing what Donald Trump has done in the past and is doing now, I pray for him and other world leaders every day. Their political choices matter. I did not vote for Trump, his first nor second term. He did so much harm during his last presidency that fueled so much division. And yes, Vladimir Putin is absolutely playing him, and he can not see that. I'll keep on praying, and leave it in God's hands. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico.

Lol they thought trump was playing with them . Boy oh boy play time is over

what all of a sudden Trudeau is on your side -- you stupid Canadians wake the fuck up, All Canada has to do is lower its tariffs to the USA and bam its reciprocal. Trudeau is playing the redical left card sounding off all the talking points of the left media for the past 4 years or more. Hes still the same fucking liar as he always been -- none of those things are true but if you believe them then judgment is coming for you and you will not Escape.

As a Canadian, even though I have disagreements with our Prime Minister, he is OUR Prime Minister, and I am glad he is so clearly and strongly saying to the US government and US citizens that we are done playing around. We will pull together, as a country, and come out of this stronger. We are willing to take on short-temp pain to work towards finding new markets and diversifying our trade relationships. The Canadian economy is in a stronger position to survive and recover from a trade war than the US. The US Government in general has destroyed one of the most successful and positive economic and social partnerships in the world and neither Canadians, nor the rest of the world are going to forgive and forget.

20:00 ronald mc donald is to narcisstic to understand that hes being played by putin.

Give him a sigar, a bowler hat and play this video in black and white ?

He’s coherent, honest and not playing the victim (even when directly attacked by the man baby rapist). In short he’s no Trump.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

Governor just stop. No one cares. We’re not playing the short petty game. USA USA

Seen from overseas in Europa I can only say that Trudeau's speech is excellent. Canadians can be vrey proud to have a Prime Minister like him. Trump on the other hand is like a kid playing with matches. US americans are not the problem Trump is the problem.

They didn’t play the clip where the Prime Minister says these tariffs are about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump can annex Canada. He is speaking the truth. Trump needs to be removed!

Yes, I agree ,Trump is an asshole! playing games for his own gain!

Why is he still around dont play games with putin his a killer shut up

Days of our lives.. Drama, drama, Opera, I am just glad everyone has there role in the play.. Now trudeau can make his people happy.. It's all BS.. Same old chit.. 50 years of it.. Worn out on it..

Trump is being played by Elon Musk. Elon is during the work of Putin. Elon is Trojan Horse, and Trump can only see dollar signs.

??? Canada is hurting ..De dollarisation script in play..US doesn’t have extra money at all

The problem is that Canada enjoys American friendship as long as it is costing America hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump simply wants a fair playing field. Why must America always take the short end of the stick. The moment we get a government that ask for things to be fair all these countries that have benefited rush to complain.

Well Trudeau it seems to me that you feel like pain we are feeling in Haiti even though it is not nearly the same. You sent your ship and helicopter in Haiti on feels pretences that you are going to tackle the gangs theories there; then you played with our emotions ; when you knew full well you were not going to do a danm things. I can tell though we used to hard life. We have been living it since the day the island of Haiti declared her independence.

Dangerous CNN and their Dems. Just wait and see the Genius play out.

The 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudea will go down in history as the guy who stood up to the felon and sex offender Donald Trump. The so called 47th President of the United(?) States of Mid-America. Trumps playing Whack-a-Mole with his closest neighbours and European Allies. They aren’t going to forget what he’s and his supporters are doing.

Trump being played by Putin and severing our excellent relationship with Canada our good neighbor and harming us in the process wake up America this d not good.

You have got to be kidding right? Trudy looks like what he/she is. Weak. Clueless. Worthless. When he got fired did he accept that or did he keep spending Kanadian money on useless projects? He went on a celeberety tour instead of working with the US to address the problems he created. He played around, posturing and looking like a total I D I O T and then when he FAILS to meet the requirements to avoid tariffs, and he gets hit with them, he does this kind of worthless crap? This is NOT a leader.

Ukraine, Europe, Mexico , Canada and the lists of enemies now rising .... Hmmn, Americans the Bible is now playing out. \n\nThe Scarlet (Red) Party would soon sink you if you don't wake up.\n\nTariff war is a pretext, DT wants Canada and Mexico.

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

If you look up the definition of fool in the dictionary there, you will find the photo of DJT. But to play to the Russians as he is makes him their useful fool. There will absolutely be a war sooner or later because of this amazing treasonous stupidity. Not with Canada, but all of the nations are now interconnected and this will reverberate and people will die who would never need to.

Hey Prime stupid ass you asked for it you got it keep your feet a little threats to yourself you're dealing with the United States now we're not playing any more games with anybody you want to talk about the strongest Nation you're about to witness it sit back grab a drink and watch us go

Canada saved over 400 Americans from the Irans regime .. 34 planes laned during 911 in Newfoundland.. fought in Iraq together .. Donald is a weak man desperately pretending to be strong, a small-minded person acting as if he's important. He's devoid of morals but pretends to be righteous. He's the aggressor always playing the victim. Deep down, he’s just a coward.

Trump's playing hard ball with Canada and the hockey game won't be pretty

Given how tariffs work, surely the response should have been not to retaliate?  \nRetaliations will increase costs for Canadians!? Trump's administration want a trade war. There has to be some covert devious evil plan. Ignore the fools. Don't play into their hands.

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

The elite playing with humanity's future and here we are to witness it through technology.

Everyone relies on sucking pff the tit of America stop playing the victim

don’t be fool peasants they all in on it all the governments about the tariff wars just to raise prices on all of you don’t play the games

where are the democrats? playing golf? no wonder USA is going to rot...

❌ everything goes down to money right?, I think cryptos will play a big roll in finding a bypass to all this mess..
