Spoken like a true leader! A leader for the people, by the people. Unlike the clown that is the current US President as of 2025.

You know it's a libtard news agency calling this harsh language. Your president and vice president used alot harsher language ?

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.

A spech coming from a president like this made me like to become a canadian

Hey Canada, Californian here. Sorry my dumb fellow americans voted for this A hole.\n\nWe're gonna be okay, in 4 years. If he extends his presidency beyond that, i have a plan for that along with many others. Wish us luck

Justin, you're dealing with a very uneducated population of Americans who will support a president that will ruin the American economy as long as he satisfies the white grievances of a particular segment of our population

Wow, Trudeau called the president Trump by his first name and then called him dummy. What a leader Trudeau is, a real model for the rest of the world. He is so brave and courageous. Uhhhh.. actually he is a -wether- and he is just too stupid and blind to know it.

Trudeau is the handsome, young, kind and articulate president husband….Melania always dreamed of but got Donald instead ?

Woke doesn’t work…. President Trump finally is giving my country back to the people. It is time my tax dollars stop paying for other country benefits. Maybe your leader should stop talking out of both sides of his mouth. Finally proud again post forced illness. Wake up people!

Impeach the Donald!! He's not qualified to be an American president!

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

President trump just did a huge achievement, US president is not any more the leader of the free world, US is not anymore in the free world leadership, broken 100 years of friendship and alliance. \nHuge achievement endeed!!, now US is on the side of Putin, a criminal dictator, who is being supported by China, North Korea and Belorussia.

truly vice president vance is gas lighter acting like trump watchdog..

Let me correct Trudeau actions. Trump isn't a SMART person and that was evident at every meetings with others president

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

Bravo Trudeau! You are the right president for Canada in these unique times. Keep the international alliances, Canada 1st and Canada for Canadians. The whole world is supporting all Canadians. The world does not need President Karen Trump and his madness, nor the world needs USA. It is extremely disrespectful what Trump and the USA goverment are doing. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE THE WORLD!

This is how a real president speaks!

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

From SOUTH AFRIKA - Good Job President Trudeau. Trump has gone bananas, literally. In South Afrika Trump and Afriforum (racist Boere aka white racist organisation that misses and pushes Apartheid agenda) are causing havoc by spreading propoganda of lies about non- existing land grabs and white genocide. These lies are being peddled and given life by that Mars Alien - Elon Musk because we refused his SPYlink Satellite without an empowerment stake (Black Economic Empowerment - which is regulated due to past imbalances). He got mad mad and started working racist right wing organisation that misses segregation

Canadians are not that happy with President Trudeau, but compared to trump, he is 5 star President material. \n\nCanadians can be proud of how much their President has stepped up to manage this unfolding crisis.

Trudeau is a honorable President who everybody could be proud. People from USA should be ashamed of their president Trumph.

DONALD ... THANK U !!!!!!! FOR NOT CALLING HIM PRESIDENT HE IS A CRIMINAL...FELON

Hi Can you come to the US and be our President. You clearly understand your assignment.

Compare this speech, content and delivery, to that of and by the US president and you'll see why the world thinks the white house has a clown in the hot seat

Trudeau will your president very soon America cos you just got owned

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

Why is your President alienating you from the rest of the world? I don’t know if he’s smart enough to have nefarious intentions or someone else is pulling the strings, but this won’t end well economically or for US national security.

As American President Trudeau ?? is Right buttton——>>>

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!

Why can we have a president like Canadian prime minister ?? … ?

Today is 25% Trump Tariff Day.\n\nThis was brought on by our own government.\n\nTrump explained that Canada treats the US unfairly and have been taking advantage of them for a long time. \n\nHere is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n\n⁃ Dairy Products:\n⁃ Milk: 270%\n⁃ Cheese: 245%\n⁃ Butter: 298%\n⁃ Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n⁃ Barley: 160%\n⁃ Wheat: 94%\n⁃ Sugar: 265%\n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295%\n⁃ Rice: 150%\n⁃ Vegetables: 100%\n⁃ Fish Products: 100%\n⁃ Lumber: 20%\n⁃ Shoes: 30%\n⁃ Cocoa: 30%\n⁃ Metals: 25%\n⁃ Wool: 30%\n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%\n\nTrumps responsibility as the President of The United States of America is to the American people. Not us.

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

Isn’t Trudeau sleeping with French president macron???

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

I am from the US and I honestly think he is outright weakening this country for some ulterior motive. Why we are aligning with Russia, North Korea and the rest of the dictator nations is beyond me. I wish to apologize to the free world, our president is a twat waffle.

Dollar for dollar retaliation by Canada will just smolder on an on. Step it up Canada. Make it hurt. Force our prick president to back off.

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 ?☮️???

This is wat a real president sounds like

Heck! What is problems USA have with Canada??!! If I remember correctly, the last time he was president, he also do it.!!!!!

This guy is great and makes total sense, unlike our dumb ass president.

Id rather have him as U.S.A president

Sadly, I was Very Startled by This Trade War. This is Very Unecessary!!! Canada Is America's Closest Neighbour, How can President Trump even think of doing this to Canada??? I am TREMENDOUSLY DISAPPOINTED with DT!!!!! This is not the way to treat your Neighbour and Allie. Shame . . . Shame . . . . SHAME On Him!!!

Why is this Turd speaking for Canada? \n\nThe US tariffs impact US buyers. Not Canadians buyers. \n\nThese Canadian tariffs impact Canadian buyers. WTF!! The Government goes back to work to “add tax” to Canadians buying from US. Long standing relationships with the US. \n\nCalls the President “Donald”. What a disgrace. What a joke. Get rid of this guy.

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

Deeply ashamed to be American and that filthy parasite in the White house is NOT my president. Bravo canada standing up to that miserable bully!!

A president is talking.

The better title is White House Jester Donald and President Musk.

¡ I really hope CLAUDIa Sheinbaum (MEXICAN PRESIDENT) answers So clearly and assertively to the TRUMP'S agressions against our NATIONS !

Trump need to be stopped. This happens when one elects an idiot for president. The US citizens did not want this.

I'll eat rice whatever it takes I am with my President.
