PM Trudeau please, it's not the United States that is starting this trade war, it's solely the efforts of Donald Trump. Let's be clear, he is not my President. I will though, apologize for Mr. Trump's irrational governing. So, good for you PM Trudeau; let him have it!

I love this speech even American are in shock because this is not what they expected from President Trump, and Trudeau just concluded it all it was the dumpiest thing Donald did and this will affect American harshly...Donald is chasing ghost and he might be the one who is going to bring prophecies to past.

Donald Trump is a degenerate. He is not making America great, but weak. He has already quarreled with Canada, Ukraine, Denmark, Panama, Mexico, France. He has weakened the USA both politically and economically. He has introduced restrictions on freedoms. It seems that he is tired of being president and is waiting for impeachment. Because he destroyed more in a month than was built in the last 70 years.

And I STAND WITH MY PRESIDENT !! I believe you need us more than we need you . DONALD ! THATS PRESIDENT TRUMP !

This retired US Navy combat veteran stands w all our brother & sisters in Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Europe, NATO, etc!\nLet’s all call him “Donald “. or Trump, ANYTHING but President ?☮️???

Love him or hate him, this was great and what a master class level troll. \n1. No reference to “president” \n2. Called him Donald, which trump hates\n3. Said what he was doing was dumb\n4. Spoke in super simple language - notice how he dummied right down when addressing trump

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

Canada already had tariffs on certain U.S. goods before the recent trade disputes escalated in 2025. Historically, Canada has maintained tariffs on various American products to protect its domestic industries, particularly in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. For example, under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA and was signed during Donald Trump’s first term, trade between the U.S. and Canada is largely tariff-free for many goods. However, Canada has long imposed high tariffs on specific U.S. products outside of these agreements, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, under its supply management system. These tariffs can reach up to 270% on milk, 245% on cheese, and nearly 300% on butter, designed to shield Canadian producers from foreign competition.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has applied tariffs on other U.S. goods over the years, often in response to trade disputes or to balance economic interests. For instance, before the latest round of tariffs in 2025, Canada had tariffs on thousands of product categories, though the exact scope and rates varied depending on the goods and trade agreements in place. Posts found on X also highlight sentiment that Canada has had tariffs on U.S. products like dairy and cars for decades, with some claiming rates as high as 25% on U.S. vehicles—though this may reflect specific cases rather than a blanket policy.\n\nIn contrast, the U.S. generally did not impose broad tariffs on Canadian goods until recent actions under President Trump, who introduced a 25% tariff on Canadian imports effective March 4, 2025, prompting Canada to retaliate with reciprocal 25% tariffs on CA$155 billion of U.S. goods. This retaliation built on Canada’s existing tariff framework but escalated the scale significantly. So, while Canada did have tariffs on U.S. goods beforehand, the current trade war has intensified the situation far beyond the pre-existing measures

Donald Trump is a bully he was bullying Ukraine president ?

Donald Trump is a bully he was bullying Ukraine president ?

Bum you are are the opposition what do we need from you crackheads. My President!!! Donald J Trump!!! not having that justin

It is no longer a secret. President Donald Trump is a Russian Asset. He's openly destroying American Allies and closest friends while getting extremely close to Russia. Canada is America's closest ally, neighbour, and trading partner, and this is how you're going to treat them. The sooner the American people realizes this and pressure their elected officials to make Donald Trump to reverse course, the less damage this will cost Americans in the long run.

And another thing don’t address him as Donald it’s Mr. President Trump. He might just be your president before long Justin.

I'm very sorry about our president Donald Trump he's a f****** scumbag I'm very sorry for he's doing to your country I'm very sorry for your f****** doing my country

i do not believe the American people want a President who will destroy our ties to the free World. the founding fathers of this democracy and the constitution would have placed Donald Trump and his cronies under immediate house arrest, stripped them of any authority, and taped their mouths shut while the government is reformed and the ties to the free world are re-established. He is a bully using our highest office to prove he is all powerful to do harm against anyone below the office.

Our USA President Donald J Trump messed up when choosing a fight with a very well educated Leader in Canada. \nMost of America apologizes for Mr Trump and his crew. \nThank you for your patience.

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

I will never call Donald Trump a President. I don't believe I did the first time he was in the White House. Now I call him Commie traitor.

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.

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This is the way how president should speak... But No, Donald The Golden Shower Trump speaks and articulalates like a child.

Donald Trump is a horrible President and why did he get elected?

This was a much needed step by President Donald Trump ?? Well done! ?

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.

I could not imagine that Donald Trump will fluently spoke like Justin Trudeau does. This is the way President should spoke. Good Lord what's happening to the U.S. Donald Trump screwed everything.

As an American, I am ashamed of our president. I apologize to the Canadian people and want them to know that the vast majority of Americans do not support what our president is doing. We will do what we can to stop him, and I hope when this insanity is over, you can forgive us and we can restore our relationship. We know that because of Donald Trump's stupid actions, we will have a lot of work to do in restoring your trust in us. Again, I apologize.

President Trump has to do what Putin says because Putin has all of stormy Daniels sex tapes with Donald Trump if he doesn't do what Putin says sex tapes will be all over the internet ????

Wow, wouldn’t it be nice to have a president that could speak as well as the Prime Minister of Canada. I hope that Canadians understand that most Americans are totally embarrassed and appalled at what Donald Trump is doing.

I'm proud Donald Trump is my president ❤

It looks like the best thing Trudeau could do is tell the world how bad he is got beat by President Donald Trump. A true leader would not shocase his defeat to the world, he would work harder until he triumphs; none of which is somthing that Trudea can do. Sad!

Well, Donald Trump is not my President.He is the people president who voted for him but he's not my president

Thank you very much Donald Trump is a dictator he's with Putting He is not my president my God is my president Get ready USA you're in for a big one

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'.

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

I stand with my president Donald Trump

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower for the fourth session in a row. All three major US stock indexes are in the red since President Donald Trump took office on January 20; the Nasdaq is down more than 1% since the start of 2025.\n\nIdiot MAGA imbeciles...and Trumps kids shorted atocks on daddys recommendation and they raked in over $200,000,000

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Mr. Trudeau you are wrong about Donald Trump, he is the biggest fraud that has ever been President of this country! Please don't blame all of us for this moron who had an election bought for him by a Nazi, Elon Musk! Hopefully the two clowns, Trump and Vance meet their end before our country is destroyed1 They are both traitors to Democracy and deserve the fait of Traitors!

And Trump's response will be .. Trudeau is a low life because trudeau.s hair is mussed a bit on the left side... that is the mentality of President Donald j Trump.

Mr President of Canada common Donald Trump know exactly what he's doing ‼️ he works for Russia he's here to destroy the United States and make it part of Russia or an ally of russia! And if America doesn't stand up he's going to succeed ‼️?????????????

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.

Hats off to president Teasdale this is what a real president sounds like unlike the queen Donald Trump the first who's going to bring America to his knees ??

Castro calling president Trump Donald. Show some respect! Nice job you did with Covid, dictator. You sound vaccinated.

I'm so sorry that I vote for this president, Donald Trump, hi is doing to many stupid things including his loss fuckin mig mouth.

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””
