Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

I'm Russian in America and wish i was anywhere but here. My mom brought me here in 1993 for reasons against what was going on in Russia at the time and now, the same stuff that she was getting me away from there is happening here. ??

Donald trump is a traitor Donald trump is going to make his United States week Donald trump Is a dictator himself No ally shoe Negotiate negotiate with Donald trump He is evil Is dictator He's a bully and a gangster I can't wait to the 4 years go by for he could get the hell out of the I can't wait to the 4 years go by for he could get the hell out of the white house By Ukraine By Ukraine Negotiate negotiate Do not negotiate with America Until Donald trump gets out of office The allies The Together

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.

Its extremely hard to believe this is going on , Trump mind has walked off and forgot his body , Ill tell you what trump is trying to do , weaken everything down in America so him and all these billionaires buy up american soil to the point they have control period ....

I stand with America but I support Ukraine and I support Canada. But these tariffs have got to go. Good speech Trudeau and God help us all.

Come on America stand up show this fool what you think of him trump must go

America will trade more deeply with Russia going forward

Can’t see how this is going to “Make America Great Again”!

Donald Trump is like the chemical weapon called Agent Orange that was dropped on American soldiers during Vietnam. He’s a terrorist, felon, bigot and sex offender. And half America votes for him…supposedly. \nI implore you to call him Agent Orange going forward. He doesn’t deserve the role of Commander in Chief.

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

The majority voted Trump. Ok then now follow through with what that means. More American made stuff involves paying more for your stuff. Trump is going all in with nothing to lose and he's taking America with him even if that means World War III in the name of his macho pride. Just look at him talk he's a real 'tough' guy

Blah Blah Blah, you arrested truck drivers and seized their bank accounts because they didn't want the jab. Let's see how long Canada makes it without America. ???? Good luck, Canada. You're going to need it!

Justin Dudeblow is playinng directly in to Trumps hands.\nThis is exactly what he knew was going ro happen. \n*THE NET RESULT IS MORE MANUFACTURING IN AMERICA*

Zelenskyy the puppet clown ?, disrespectfully has crossed the line of decency\n by being loud, interrupting, and with very rude high hand gestures \ntowards the president of United States of America☹️\nWhat a junkie clown?, He's going to learn it the hard way very soon ☹️\nA comedian puppet clown ? who still thinks that he is a real leader ???\nWait for it junkie \nCheers ????

Congratulations America, you voted for Trump and now you're going to feel the full extent of your decision. Imported good are going to increase, inflation is increasing and your markets are going DOWN. Doesn't look like your winning, does it.

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

the fact this leader thinks that we Americans give a flying fuck what he has to babble about is funny. I as a American am feeling much more hopeful on the action that our president is making is for the better of America and its allies. stay in your lane and stop acting like you can say another country with things that aren't true or aliened to things going on.

American here. I am on a limited income (Social Security) but I 100% support Canada & what Canada needs to do to counteract the actions of our incompetent, insane 'President'. Go Canada! We not-insane Americans salute you & apologize for our 'Orange Menace'. We look forward to when our governments can be friends again. Our two peoples will always be Friends! (I have family there also.) P.S. The drug issue is a fake issue on the part of the Trump Administration. We all know it's the market that drives illegal drugs-- i.e. our own drug abusers buying this stuff. Cheers, & With Hopes for a Better America. (And Slava Ukraine!)

Donald is bad for America. Donald is not making any sense. Donald should go ASAP.

What is going on in this country? Are we going to let Trump destroy America and its allies? This is insane!

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

After all who is too blame for all this drug addiction in the USA we all know it was the pharmaceutical Emporium and the government… these tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s an evil plan which is going to hurt all of the 3 countries in North America ??

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

Trump is standing on business! ? no more free handouts. He’s putting America first ? ? ?. The adults are back in charge. We sat back and let the clowns play for 4 years. Your experiment is over now. Democrats nearly destroyed our country. We will save it for you. You'll enjoy the win in spite of your whining and delusions. You're welcome. Now, go color or something. Daddy has work to do.

Trump is in it for destruction, the more complete the destruction the better. USAID destruction is only an example. Trump will continue to destroy and destroy because his whole agenda from the very beginning is to destroy rather than to build, that’s his design his way to get the most attention, building and constructing is tedious and long term and requires sacrifices, and does not garner him the blasting short term attention he needs, he will never build. He will destroy everything until he dies and his end goal is to go out with a Bang destroying the entire US of A and killing everyone with him. That’s what Hitler did to German just before he died. That is Trump. Trump is America and America has always been Trump?

Stop the steal, think about what this means. It means stop stealing from wealthy americans to help poor americans, help americans have healthcare, help american farmers keep their farms. The oligarchs of USA do not want this, they don't want to pay taxes, they want to rule with impunity like Putin. America is being lost day by day, Welcome to West Russia. I have many friends in the USA, and this is a very sad situation and my heart aches for them. I know this is going to hurt in Canada, but screw you orange menace and president Musk, I will go down fighting for the freedoms we (our forefathers) earned, defeating the last facist pig that ruled a country

Greetings from Poland! We all have to stay strong and stand up to a bully! Trump makes exactly what putin wants - destroy America! when Americans are going to see it????

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.

This Guy from Canada call him self the PM, should go back to School of Economics. He is wasting his time to FIGHT WITH AMERICA. U, pls go on with ur PM ship of Canada. ???

OMG , America is going to be filing BK , Save your money

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

I promise you Canada is going to feel it worse than us we have the resources it’s just people don’t want to work America has everything we need!!!

Real clever move Donald..God Bless America, you are going to need more than God's help!

Not America! Trump did! We didn't know that idiot was going to do that!

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Go Canada buy what are your needs within European countries if America abandon their allies.

We, the Canadians, stand by our government. We are prepared to go through this and come out well . We did not fight this fight and we feel for those who did not vote for Trump in America

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

You are FIRE Justin Trudeau. ♥♥♥ Trump is single-handedly making the whole world despise America. Way to go.

It was not America. It was Trump and his gang. They must be stopped. Unfortunately, we are going to be hurt. Bad. \nGet ready to pay for a quarter pound of flower for a full day of work. ?

America first. Anyone who doesn’t want to be here is welcome to go elsewhere. There is no law that keeps you in the United States. Go stand physically where you claim to stand verbally. If countries want to benefit from the U.S. market it needs to be on fair terms otherwise we continue to be at a disadvantage from a trade standpoint.

Here you American people go pay more tax ? he will make America great and make rich people richer and great ?

America going against its allies for a communist party?????\nEnd of days...

This is what the Hateful side of America voted for, It was cool when they thought it would affect only certain groups of people, but now it seems Trump screwed everyone with some of his actions. Good luck on the next 4 years because it’s going to be a wild ride ?

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!
