Mr. Trudeau you need to speak directly to another criminal president “Elon Musk” not Trump, he just a puppet.

President Trump is wise and reasonable enough not to engage a direct confrontation with China and Russia which will plunge the world into more bloodshed and caos....

Prime Minister Trudeau epitomizes a true leader. I wish he was my country's leader. Kudos to him for directly addressing the P.O.S. who calls himself our leader. Thank you for your support of the American citizens and empathizing with us as we have to endure yet another term.

He behaved like a politician, all emotional knee jerk reactions are from upper grass mongers , sadly majority in the society are filed with such people. \nDevil is always in the details. His local reputation is not good and to loose upcoming elections , to divert and shift focus, this is an attention diverting tactics to shift attention and make him look like a hero. \nIf he really cared for his people, he would have either prevented it by aggressive backdoor talks or, or if this happened without his awarness then he could have spoken privately to Trump to sort it out in the real interest of his own nation, cut the ego for Good of his own people and an sort it out , why he did not do it ?\nNow by publically engaging and directly targetting, he has achieved two things 1. temporary fame as majority of people are upper grass mongers are emotional but no attention to details 2. He spoiled further his relationship with Trump administration by this public spat, rubbing him on the wrong side, spoils future of his own people. Diplomacy is done by maturity not by ego.

Finally somebody with balls to speak directly to mr carrot.

He spoke eloquently using FACTS not LIES like Donald Trump. He didn’t sugar coat anything. He spoke directly to Donald. \n\nTRUMP has been making DUMB DECISIONS over and over. THIS TIME is being controlled and e has shown to the world thatHE IS THE PUPPET of a ?BILLIONAIRE IMMIGRANT WHOSE GOAL IS TO CONVERT THE US TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY imitating HITLER. \n\nDonald LIED to VOTERS promising to reduce inflation and increase jobs. Donald please STOP BEING PUPPET OF ELON, VANCE. And all others. \n\nTHIS IS NOT HOW TO MAKE THE US GREAT AGAIN… YOU ARE MAKING IT THE WORST and destroying everything great former leaders worked hard to build. \n\nYOUR EGO is making you blind. \nYOU LIED using God’s name in vain to obtain votes. \n\nWORST ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY\n\nGod sees everything.

I believe that Trump & Putin have a plan to dominate the world with Putin taking Europe and Trump taking Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panana, aka the Americas. What part China & North Korea play in Asia, I don't know. But they look to be inching in this direction!

You dont speak directly through a tv, you know right?

Imagine Trump talking about inflation directly to the Canadian citizens.

Drugs are flowing into Canada from USA, not the other direction.

Brave and direct. What a model leader!

When addressing Donald directly, I like how he slowed down, as if talking to a toddler :)

When are you people gonna learn? He does not care because he does not even listen to the courts.\n\nThe only thing he would listen to would be a direct threat to his life

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

OMG! Harsh language from the Canadian Prime Minister? We thought those Canadians were so polite! What a clueless CNN reporter. Are they getting their script directly from Trump/Musk?

All these stupid things that Trump says and does are meant to make money for him, his family, and his friends in politics. How? Mayhem and negativity directly impact markets to the downside. This group is simply making massive gains from the financial market bloodbath that has been happening for well over a week now. If you don't think this is true, look at a the Nasdaq, then look at Bitcoin and all the major cryptocurrencies.\nThey are shorting the hell out of all of these assets, and they know how to do it. The do NOT care about you, they only care about their GREED.

This is the Trudeau i'd re-elect. No reading notes and no ums and ahs, speaking directly from the heart. \n\nKudos ?

Stay honest and true in every way you can. Character really is destiny. I love my country but we are under siege by our own government, a group of sycophantic grifters who do not possess the wisdom, experience nor the disciplined intelligence to fulfill the duties their positions require. I stand with Canada and admire Mr. Trudeau for being willing to call out Donald Trump and address us Americans directly. Yes, we will all pay for this stupidity—except of course the MAGA elite.

Lol. Who is this clown to speak “directly” to trump?! Bloody nobody

you censored this.He didn't directly say Trump was a smart man. He said the wall street journal did. Stop misleading the people of America Jeff!

Notice how he slowed his speech and broke it down in small words, “big things,” “smart guy” when speaking directly to Trump? It’s like watching another adult explain things to a child and it’s so embarrassing but also so necessary.

This will be the natural course of things going forward. Regardless of which political party is in power, you have Satan at the controls. Look at the corruption and social and economic disasters created by the previous government. Now you have someone in power who is going to go to extremes in the opposite direction. Why has it come to this? We are here because we regected God and made money and materialism our God that we worship and bow down to. A sick government is an indication of a sick society. The roots of Western culture is founded on Love and fear of God. That is grossly eroding away. Is there hope for a better future; a better life? Yes. Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross and rose again on the third day. For by the Grace of God who sent his only begotten son to shed his blood for you, your sins are forgiven if you repent and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Only faith and righteous living will pull us back from the brink of destruction. ❤

Finally, our dear Prime Minister, you stopped being nice and polite. Being firm and direct in this matter is exactly what Canadians need

How can he be speaking directly to president Trump? I don’t see Trump? Trump’s not crying. Who’s whining? Who’s crying? Who’s going to start paying their fair share? Who’s going to stop gaming the US? Lots of questions.

Paula Newton, you’re correct, how dare Trudeau talks to US citizens directly or addresses “Donald” directly, after Canadians have been told we’d make a great 51st State and our Right Honourable Prime Minister has been called a “governor”!\n\nThe AUDACITY!\n\nElbows Up, Canada!

I don’t understand how orange stupid lost his first trade war he started during his first term and doubling down again thinking something will magically change. I suppose the only thing that changed was how much more dummies drunk the orange Julius and here are now with folks proud of fellow Americans losing their jobs, a foreigner meddling with domestic policy, and shitting on our allies because they think these alleged cuts will somehow directly benefit their personal bank accounts.

Well spoken as usual. What a rational person we have here in Canada.Stays on subject, stays direct and to the point.

Dear Justin, 75 million Americans voted against Donald Trump in the recent election. We appreciate your speaking directly to us today and in recent speeches you have given. We know what a good ally you have been to the US and we also know your primary concern is to Canadian citizens. While many of us have done what we could do and we also know the current trade arrangement was negotiated with you by Donald Trump in his previous term which leaves many of us scratching our heads. For my part it deeply saddens me that this has happened and all we ask or all that I ask is that you remember those of us who did not vote for this. Slightly less than half of the country. When this is over, and it will end one day we look forward to breaking bread with Canada again.

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

Trudeau would never say that directly to trump get real its all a show. Have fun asking for wars and backstabbing your only allies Canada

He's speaking directly to Trump as much as I'm directly speaking to you. Lol

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

Canada, I am sorry for the acts of Donald J. Trump, who does not speak for me (and I am confident most of the people of the USA). If I could change Trump's actions directly, I would.\nI believe your government is taking the correct actions in response and I do not find fault in that. You are our friends. I/we will suffer from Trump's actions. I am sorry for us all.\nMay God save the free world.\n❤❤❤

Articulate, clear, calm and direct to the point. Awesome! The Canadian President is amazing! Donny Trumpy is just a major disappointment and a disgrace to the American nation.

Im impressed i totally dislike Trudeau for what he's done to Canadians but I've never heard him speak so direct to America and Trump

Are there any independent critical thinkers left out there that don't have faith in political sides?but instead live in reality? this guy has absolutely trashed Canada - and all anyone here can do is worship his manipulation? man - the brainwashing is strong stuff indeed... the people of the USA are just too easily directed- sad.

None of this matters. Drumph in taking direction from Vladimir Putin and he, Putin is a Nation disrupter and is working and propagandizing, towards, now get this, the TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION both in the western hemisphere and Europe. This is his goal and he has the full support of The criminal Donald Duck Drumph a spoiled little rich boy who just wants his way.

People have the right idea of talking to trump directly and make it clear that he just took sides with Russia over his allies in democracy and freedom,something that no other president would do allow a dictator to invade a country and blackmail the country that is being invaded just for it mineral and don’t have a statement of giving help. I don’t respect trump or his family they are standing by his side as he destroys the country what kind of people are they are they that corrupt the whole family is willing let their father or let her husband do what he doing without saying anything to stop the corruption.

The way Trudeau speaks and conducts himself reminds me of Captain John Sheridan when he announced that Babylon 5 was breaking away from the Earth Alliance. Firm and direct to the point!

Trudeau could just called Trump if he wanted to speak directly.

Trump is willing to risk the well-being of the entire world as long as he gets money and power.\nIf Putin is arrested everything changes including trumps direction.

Is it me or Justin dumbed down his lingo when addressing to Trump directly

You should talk directly to Elon... As he is running the country ?

Canadian here. Trudeau, well said and I hope the other global leaders stand up to Donald. To my American friends- it’s time you stand up and show your disapproval for the direction Donald is taking. This is and will be a significant set back in your security and the trust other countries have in America. Stand up, Speak up!

Canadian pls send Trudeau for a break could be temporary or forever, he is probably tired of boring with his job...put him on vacation direct to gaza-ukraine war zone. Thank you dearest Canadian?✌️

He didn’t “speak directly to Trump”. Y’all are trash.

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

I like how he switches to really simple English the moment he addresses Trump directly.

Trump is openly attacking America's allies while aiding its adversaries—most notably, Russia. His agenda has never been clearer. Just look at the way he treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO. His actions systematically weaken those who stand against Vladimir Putin. Can’t you see what’s happening? Trump is acting in a way that directly benefits Russia, raising serious questions about his true allegiances.

I am so impressed with Trudeau for speaking directly to we American people, and bypassing the trump administration that he knows has its own mission not for our good.
