Why the hell would he say Trump is a smart guy?!!! Every single person who has worked with Trump is very clear that he is a clueless idiot!

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

TRUMP YOU'RE THE WORST PRESIDENT OF USA ?? YOU'RE DIVIDING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY and other COUNTRIES WITH YOUR IGNORANTS DESICIONS YOU SHOULD WORK TOGETHER SPECIALTY WITH CANADA ?? AND MEXICO ?? BUT YOU'RE LIKE A DICTATOR WITH YOUR IGNORANT DESICIONS

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

Nice work ? and well spoken! I support everything you and Canada stand for! Dump the trump!

As a Disabled american veteran & patriot i want to see sanctions! Show this fool how it really works on the big kids playground!

Trump works for the Dictators and the rich. The US government doesnt care about their people at all. Yet they vote it all in. Makes me super sad, because the US citizens are so vulnerable and uncared for. Sure he will paint a different picture. Open your eyes, see what is happening, hear what is happening. Your Government is harming your Nation.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

CNN, why don’t you say openly that trump is an uneducated fool who does not know what he doing as president or how this world functions. And equally uneducated fools like Vance and Musk are not knowing how a country work let alone a big country like USA.

There it is which government can screw up their country. The fastest Trump has done more good Trudeau is making businesses not be able to continue working. Reduce how many the businesses work for us and increasing the price of everything

This is what the some rich wants democracy that works only for them. Strip the poor of any chance of feeding themselves while they lavish in the riches going straight to hell if they don’t turn around.

China has imposed a 25% tariff on the USA, which will have consequences due to Trump's aggressive moves. He thinks governing is like running a business, but the world doesn't work that way. Trump is not helping the USA but will make life more complex, and a few years later, Americans will realize.

Make Trump Great and First is that all he cares about. WE don't want him in office along with his underboss Elon.They work like a mob gang.

I stand with America---trump is a business man and works with reason

Good work Canadian up the old American mad man he to old for job he don’t know what to do

Trump wants peace between Russia and Ukraine and Trudeau calls him a fan of Putin. ? Does he know how dipomasy works?! Apparently not.

Working from paycheck to paycheck and become homeless. ??

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

We Canadians work hard to respect all cultures and peoples, we are polite when it is hard-but do not screw with our country and try to destroy our economy as a tool in your local political games. We are strategic, well educated and we will fight back and win.

I guess you better work harder at securing your southern boarder, Mr. Trudeau! ??

Okay, so US tariffs are bad and will cause financial trouble for both Americans and Canadians. Won’t Canadian Tariffs do the same thing? Furthermore, Canada will not win a Tariff war with the US. Canada’s response is not rational, nor is it in the best interest of the country. What about working with Trump to understand what it takes to remove all tariffs.

I'm sorry, Mr Trudeau. I don't think Donald understands working together, fundamentally, as a concept. Appeals to partnership and friendship fall on the deaf ears of a narcissist. Are you still accepting applications for new provinces? I heard you might be interested in WA state or Oregon. Asking for a friend.

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

As an American, how can I transfer my nursing license here in the States to Canada to work up there? I've never voted for Trump or Vance (or even, Elon). I work and volunteer and even participate in peaceful protests here in the States - I am ashamed of our felonious commander in whatever.

How’s he worked with Trump for over 8 years? Trump was President for only four! Interesting statement!

He’s working directly for Putin. He had to pay back for his help getting elected to stay out of jail. I’m literally disgusted.

work evenly !!! you are not our partner we protect your asses

Canada already had high tariff's on us and Canada knows they can't win this trade war. Should have worked better helping with the border, Trudeau lies out his ass constantly. His own people have called him out for his corruption.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Didn't work in 1929. Ever heard 'HARDER THAN TIMES IN 29.Not going to work now We are DONE

When working with Canadians, I was always bothered by their arrogant attitude. Now it's your turn to suffer...

Thats not us. That’s that orange glob in the White House and his MAGGATS in Congress that do not represent our best interests. We are working to get their spineless behinds out there!

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

Same problems with Africa, Puerto Rico and Nicaragua if it keeps up and I can’t get a job in this country and earn a living wage, or a job that accompanies my need for pet friendly work I think I’m gonna have a mental health issue. I might need to move to Nashville, Tennessee.

Thanks for isolating our country to the rest of the world Trump. God didn’t work this fast.

How come Canadian bank do work in USA but USA banks are not allowed to come in Canada Trudumb stupid liberals

Americans love Canada and we are angered by Trump’s actions that we and are allies are fated to deal with for the next 4 years. Our democracy is in danger and please know that we are working to combat actions by Trump and his cronies! ❤️

Sad day for both sides. this incompetent man being in the office 30 days he’s creating all this chaos. He doesn’t know how to work with diplomacy and work with people who know what they are doing. Clearly he doesn’t & this is how a leader of country speaks. Lord help us what’s next, every day is some new disaster.

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

I don't think continuing to do what hasn't worked in the past is going to fix the future... It's time for change.\n \nThe US has been paying the world for too long, and now it's time for others to pay their share. I don't blame them for being upset, but I don't believe Trudeau's perspective is all inclusive of reality.\n\nAmerica should come first to Americans.

? wait so wouldn’t that mean he is choosing to do it to his people too? Saying trade wars don’t work is like saying sanctions in Russia won’t work either. Hahahahaha. He is almost gone so he just doesn’t give a crap anymore

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

We have a corrupt government that has full responsibility for the Shit Show.Our corrupt government has been a corrupt government since the beginning of America and it's time for them to be exposed and I'm here to do just that. I'm Victim of District Supreme Court of Kansas and Government, Google Irene Pacheco vs State of Kansas, the only Mexican American in history who took the State of Kansas to the District Supreme Court of Kansas the District Supreme Court of Kansas: Violated my right to sue my employer the EEOC gave me, the Federal Judge signed a Pretrial Judgment for 100K, lost wages and the return of the lower paying job I worked for to support my 2 daughters, Falsified Federal Documents Tampered with Federal Records Deformation of Character Mental Anguish, Obstruction of Justice, Bias, Abuse of Power, Denied a hearing, Not informed that my case was moving on to the District Supreme Court of Kansas. The corrupt government underestimates the intelligence of the American citizens and I made history due to their corruption, I'm here to be their worst nightmare. The corrupt government is corrupt on all levels.

A man who stands for his people and can still speak well and correctly. Greetings from the Netherlands. Europe hopes to be able to work together with Canada.

Tariffs is nothing but protecting own country manufacturers and entrepreneurs. Let US be and Canada can raise Tariffs to protect yr own country interest. There is many more country for you to work with.

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.

Turdeau has zero leverage. His communist tendencies that he inherited from his commie father wont work.

In the USA. There is no justifiable or sensible reason to launch this trade attack on countries throughout the world. It hurts them, it hurts us (the working class American). This president makes any comment or accusation and insists we call it fact. I feel for Canada. America is in trouble too.
