To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

A clown who could not answer questions properly now has got written text from someone who can better say it.\n\nBut calling others dictator is his first hypocrisy as he himself is. He is a swine who will bend for vote. This is his theatrics to gain vote

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

I wish i could be able to live there honestly, say ashby

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

From Massachusetts. We do not want this either!!!!!?. We stand with Canada more than our own government….meaning this President who got elected with less than a majority vote. Even his supporters are raging against him. I wish that there was something more that we could do as individual American citizens.?? I will pray for this insanity to end.

Prime minister we know our leader(not) could care less about the citizens ofUS .it was all about staying out of jail period. We know if it comes out of his mouth it’s a lie. I apologize to your country. Would you like to annex California just asking only for four years.

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 spoke so eloquently and respectfully. Some government officials could really learn from the Canadian Prime Minister.

So America's only ally will be Russia and N Korea now? Wow, I wish I was an american so I could feel great again and swear my allegiance to the dumb fkn orange moron

I wish California could break away from the US. No offense guys.

We can't make it reasonable? Im disabled nurse on Medicare and I e already lost Medicaid and a lot of snap and have to pay more for meds... After 30 years as a nurse, I'd rather be dead than live here under this evil devil... I wish I could move to Canada or the UK where there is sanity

Could you imagine all out war with Canada?

I ❤️ Justin ?? .....He could be reading the phone book outloud and i would tune in. After the Million Women's March in 2017, i decided that the USA was a Providence in Canada, and I always long to hear from my trusted leader.

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

Hearing such a clear factual speaker really brings me back to being so inspired for the future listening to my favorite US president, President Barack Obama ❤ and it also reminds me of how we could have and should have had the intelligent and overly qualified Kamala Harris as our President. The biggest fumble in modern day US history. My heart is truly broken for us and the world I am so sorry ?

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

How could I get Canadian citizenship

Just so it's known but America has never been self-sufficient. We have always been reliant on others with good trade and fairness towards each other. My grandparents went through ww2 and had to go through rations on everything from gas, oil to food and tires. You got a book for everything and had to tear them out to get your products. They said back 1943 they had to keep the farm and barely made it to vday. You all need to look at history and research things. These Republicans and president is gonna ruin farms and cost people to the point they will have to choose their meds or food. Never in my wildest imagination did I think we could have sunk so low and loosing allies and gaining a dictator that was a known Assassin and removed voting in Russia and here we have a guy in charge trying to imitate him. I guess criminals stick together

I wish I could move to Canada. But at 78 I have nothing to offer them.

I believe that there is a deep underlining in all of this. Could Trump be planning to literally give the United States to Russia and/ or China? Is Trump being blackmailed? This does not make any DAMN sense! This is the makings of a suspense novel. Something about this is totally out of sync. Someone, investigate this

Thank you CNN for your courage.\n Some other networks are becoming poor representatives of journalism.....I am not talking about those whom we could have predicted.

Best prezident Canada could ever have

This idiot could end it just by stopping the flow of fentanyl through his country. Why would he not want to do that? Because he could care less about the american people.That's why.

can see that cnn is really deleting comments as fast as they come in. so obvious what these communist news outlets do.\n\nthe sheep could never notice these nuances, let alone change their minds.

The only thing I know for sure about Trump is that he would gleefully scorch the whole of the Earth, if he could be king of the ashes. \nHe is a disgrace. History will show him as a stain that has forever tarnished our reputation worldwide.

When I was just starting my career, I was threatened to be fired and I cried. I said I would change and do what ever I could do to keep my job. The boss laughed and said oh now you fuckin care? \nTrudeau is suddenly crying for doing what he should have done so fuckin long ago. Retaliation sucks, should have been better earlier.

I can't wrap my head around this exceptional showing of leadership that we, America, are lacking! Bravo Trudeau. Donald could learn a thing or two. ??❤️

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

I thought this fool was taken out of office a long time ago? How could he even show his face in public after single handedly destroying Canada..

imagine if trump could tell the truth like this guy lol

He could've destroyed that stamp collector and he chose not to. Wow

Someone rescue us from this tyrant! He has too many idiots fooled here. I can't handle Canadian winters but I so wish I could move there. Pray for the USA.

Thank fuck Donald Trump cannot communicate as effectively as Justin T. If he could, he would be way more of a monster than he already is. Thank fuck indeed.

Wish we could trade our terrible US President for the principled Canadian President, but we'd have to give a lot of concessions for a fair trade.

I wish we could have a President like Trudeau here in the USA fighting for his people.

I wish I could vote for Justin

What an intelligent response ..we could use him in White House!

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation

What Justin says about Trump he is dam right he could not say better

If only MAGA could get these facts through their small brains ?\n\nAmerican here who would never vote for orange garbage, with you 100%, Canada!

Ahhh shut up Trudeau you’re such a sabre rattler. Americans don’t realize this guy is a dictator who prorogued parliament so that he could go on a 2 month tyrannical spree. He’s got 3 more days left then bye bye

I’d like someone to clarify why it would be advantageous for America to oppose its allies and align with Putin—I genuinely don’t get it, but I assume there must be some logical reasoning behind it, or at least an explanation that makes some kind of sense. I’d really appreciate it if someone could break it down for me.

Maybe Co-President, Elon Musk could explain how the U.S. NEEDS Canadian heavy crude to feed its refineries, and Canadian Natural Gas for Its electricity.

I'm with you Canada!!! I wish I could live there!!!!I'm soooooo sorry!!! ?

Sooo… can we make Minnesota part of Canada? We could be Canada’s version of Florida—just without the crazy! I think it’s time to jump ship ????”

Ummm just an outside the country thought! You guys are really underplaying the putin/trump thing! You're all like.... well, Trump ADHD oompa loompa might be getting played! Seriously you guys are not thinking big enough! You could absolutely guarantee Putin has ? on Trump! Why else has Trump done a 360! Now someone go find out what he has on Trump so the rest of the world can stop watching the worlds slowest car wreck in real time! \n Signing off from the other side of the world ??‍♀️

This whole nightmare is like someone drinking poison and others dying along with them. If only those who voted for this foolishness could be the only ones affected by it ?

Well said. I will never understand how Trump and the entire Republican Party turned against our country and our allies, and aligned themselves with a murderous Russian dictator. I don’t know how anyone could grow up in the United States of America and so completely turn their backs on the Constitution, and the laws and values we stand for. I am confused. I am scared. I am angry. But mostly, I am ashamed to be living in Trump’s America.
