What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

Is trump still president?..i never voted elon????

BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

I think I might need to move he is a good Prime Minister I wish he wasn’t leaving the position. This s what a leader looks like instead of that clown we have for a president .

Americans did not ask for this, did not vote for this, this was never on the table, AND YET, Donald has chosen to ignore billion of people that he, as president, is subjugated to, to enact a trade war that literally has NO benefit other than causing friction and fallout between America and our allies. This is to weaken us. This is to destroy America. WAKE UP!

This how president should speak

Do what you got to do, Mister Trudeau, sir! We know that our orange President and his masters, Puitin and Musk, are Dictators and Tyrants. Our American Government is now corrupt. We, the people, stand with Canada! Do what ya gotta do, sir.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

President Trudeau-CAN YOU PLEASE BE THE US NEW PRESIDENT???? I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP AND THINK HE IS AN ID*&T, and we as an American people SIDE WITH YOU!!!

We live in America /hate America and would rather be somewhere else..preferably Scotland.I wish that this guy was our President.

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

In the role as President, Trump is not an Apprentice anymore, but still He's Fired.

tRump is an idiot, no deal maker, no big brain, just a small petty loser. I am embarrassed by this president, he's not my president just Maga's president. Most Americans are ashamed of this stupid regime. Pray for us, we are going to need it.

I FKNG HATE TRUMP AND MAGA!!! He is the dumbest president in our history and a clinical narcissist. I’m so ashamed to have this idiot as a president and his @ss kissing goons.

The US folks should ask themselves why does everything that surrounds President Trump lead to facts and the fact that Trump doesn’t understand facts?

Even the slimiest maggot has got to be wondering, what the hell our president is thinking. God help all of our hard-working businesses and consumers.

And so it begins... what I've tried telling lots of people that Trump will do if made President of the United States. I hope those who voted him in are satisfied with their decision because the beast has been unleashed.

Can we have the Canadian President instead of ours? Both Canada and Mexico responds to the requests and demonstrate they are trying to be our allies and for some reason we still proceed into a trade war. I think there's an aspect of the tariffs where it's a tax that's not called a tax, where there will be reductions in taxes for the wealthy and then these tariffs are added taxes for the general population.

Trump looks as a stupid Dummy in comparison with the presidents of Canada and Mexico?

Not once did he thank President Trump for the honor of living in America's 51'st state either... Imagine the nerve.. Right JD?

Now that is how a real president speaks .

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. We will tighten our pockets as well. What this administration is doing is destructive. The president does not care about America, he only cares about being king.

As a 69 year old American who’s father served in the liberation of Europe with our Canadian Allies, I apologize for our poor excuse or a president, man or human being. This moron is trying to destroy our world order.

Very good I'm glad that he do that I hope mexico do the same I leave in chicago but I'm not agree with the president who uses cheetos make up muy bien Trudeau

Americans should be begging for this president to be their president instead of the Punch and Judy show you have in the whitehouse

Except he's not speaking directly to President Trump, because President Trump isn't there.\nHe saw what happened to Zelenski, and wants no part of sitting face to face with Trump & Vance. \nCanada's richest province is more poor than our poorest state (Alabama). \nThank Justin. Good luck with your retaliatory tarrifs though.

I support President Trump.

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

I'm ashamed to call the orange man President. I didn't vote for him and think he is a stain upon our country.

I'll say what Prime Minister Trudeau couldn't say.\n\nThe US President and half of the nation's population are modern day Nazi's. They blame 'outsiders' for their problems. They fund genocide and advocate for ethnic cleansing. They blame their economic woes on other nations and attack erstwhile allies. They threaten to annex other nations.\n\nThese are all things that Adolf Hitler did in Germany. The similarities are remarkable. \n\nCanada is strong and most importantly, united. There's no question that we will get through this.\n\nThe United States is weak and incredibly divided. I fear for the chaos that is to come and for the other half of the population that are not Nazi's. This is what it was like to live in 1930s Germany.

Dear Canadians. I’m embarrassed for my country and so sorry our President is a POS.

Very sad to watch a president use the incorrect means of communication to address our president. \nChoosing to pretend that you do not know the use of diplomacy is irresponsible and violent. Meet us with dignity, face to face and privately like you did with the willing in Europe. Shame on you, again !

He talks as if there's no trade imbalance. Us goods going into canada at a higher rate. A good neighbor doesn't allow fentanyl and illegals into our country. The usa does not need canada. The usa is the third largest in population. The usa is its own ecosystem. The usa needs nothing from canada. I stand with President Trump and Made in USA.

First of all,stop calling stchumph president, is a terrorist.

As an American I stand with Canada and the Ukraine. I am ashamed of trump , he should not be president. He is a disgrace as a human being.

We know president Chump is a very stupid person and his best friend muck or lying and stealing our money and do all there doing for the millionaires and they don’t care how where are doing. So Canada and Mexico do what you have to do and maybe we can throw him out of office. Best wishes

An President shouldn't be in office with such a big personal ego, it's not gonna end well for anyone

This is what leadership sounds like, not the rambling narcissistic grumbling that comes out of the mouths of our American President and Republican elected officials.

This country can't survive 4 more years trump as president

Why did Trudeau say he's been working with Donald Trump for 8 years??? Trump has not been President for 8 years.

You open the gates for illegals from Canada to usa everyone has seen videos. Taxis plying between New York and Canada border.. nothing matters other than protecting the sancity of borders of the country..That the only reason president trump had advantage on democrats and now people of Canada should also take a decision about u r leadership as u made ur country home of khalistani terrorist and Hindu RSS fanatics

A real leader. I'm so sorry Canada has to deal with our petulant child of a president.

10:24 This isn’t anti-Americanism. The prime minister was crystal clear that the issue is with the administration, and more specifically the president.

All of this talk about this a*s that's in the oval office and no one is stopping him....what y'all need to do is investigate Melania....Melania is Russian descendant....Treason, espionage, selling of top government secrets, she's been in place all this time for her president Putin.... she's a cell and a plant.

I have a feeling that there’s going to be a civil war, thousands of workers laid off, inflation, veterans and federal workers jobs are gone, the very people who voted for trump were fired by him, farmers are abandoned now, and many people stand with gaza, and also zelensky , even the cartels are putting a target on the president , along with axed c.i.a. ,f.b.i. workers,so in other words… pressure is building and i guarantee its going to be a reverse january 6th, and don’t think that russia , iran, china and north korea is waiting for the opportunity to do us in, because we may be the most powerful country, but.. at one point, egypt, and rome were also.

Ukraine has neo Nazi military called “Azov” do your research before blame Putin for starting a war, Ukrainian nationalists attacked east of Ukraine after east wanted to join Russia after Ukrainian revolution in 2014 where legitimate president was removed by force against the law.

I trust president Trump

Speak your truth Mr. Prime Minister! Let the whole world hear it. Trump is NOT MY PRESIDENT. I have never and will never vote or support him.
