Not only is Canada united in solidarity against Trump and his trade war, I think that we are seeing right here that Americans, Europeans, and people from every continent, also have a sense of unity and solidarity with us and Mexico and against the bully and dictator who currently is squatting in the White House. \nOrganise. \nMobilise. \nResist.

Men why don’t you guys ask your EU counterparts that sent money to Russia. I guess president Trump will not stop until the trade deficit gap hot closed

A lot of canadians are unhappy with the guy, but that was a hell of a speech and a good reaponse to the US. Bring on the trade war!

Why are those 2 people standing behind him trying not to smile when Trudeau is making up that Trump wants a trade war and he's siding with Putin? This guy is trying to start problems and spreading lies to keep the division going!!! That is the whole plan with this whole Ukraine deal!!! Stop funding the wars and we could all move forward not with this BS!!!

There’s nothing tough about this joker, so any speech he gives can’t be “blistering.” Furthermore, with his track record of wrecking his own economy he lacks any credibility to lecture the USA about our economy or decisions to bargain for trade deals that benefit said economy. Trudeau is nothing more than a woke, leftist hack.

Hey JT….Our Navy can block trade. Just sayin ??‍♂️

Don’t let him scare us let the trade war begin

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

Canadians will never forget this, Canadians are slow to anger but once you get us there it is cold anger and it lasts a long time. We will never trust you again. We will trade with the rest of the world and less and less with you. You voted for this, this will ruin our economy but in the long run the divorce will be finalized.

I support tariff free trade between these countries.

Trump will spank this guys butt, same like he did with Zelenskyy. You cannot win a trade war with world's biggest economy (30 trillion +) and your number 1 exporter.

This guy is a con artist who has handcuffed Canada's economy for a decade. The claim that Canada has had record growth and prosperity since the signing of the Canada, Mexico, U.S. trade deal is laughable. Canadian's standard of living has deteriorated for years.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

Trump launched the trade war. Not the US citizens. I didn’t vote for Trump.

I support Trump, stop the trade deficit.

Americans want fare Trade

Presidente Trump told you a month ago about the trade deficit in favor of Canada, also he told you about the fentanyl problem, but you ignored it and now you are complaining. What the f...

People forget that Canada has been ripping off the usa and has been subsidized by usa generosity for a long time. We have problems can't afford to continue unfair and unreasonable trade while our national debt continues to skyrocket.

We stand with Canada Mexico and China. Our three greatest trading partners. Only the Japanese and Koreans will profit from this?.

America is only looking for FAIR and Free Trade America cannot afford to allow our nation to be taken advantage of any longer. America First!!!

It isn't about drugs, it is the fat fraudster throwing his 200kg around. He is taking weight loss drugs made in the UK, perhaps he should tariff those by several thousand percent? He doesn't understand a trade deficit, he doesn't understand tariffs, in fact he doesn't understand very much that isn't grifting and lying. The world has to come together and cut the US out so Trump and his boss Putin can cuddle up. The US can come back when it has jailed the fat fraudster and decided that criminals should not be allowed in the WH.

Ross Perot was right on trade the scuking sound of jobs leaveing the USA

Seems like a lot of people don't understand how absolutely fucking useless canada is as a country besides a few trade deals.

I cant believe how many people don't realize almost ALL the fentanyl is made locally.. there are no trade routes to stop when people just buy it's legal ingredients online

Former American presidents were weak and allowed trade rip offs for Americans.

trump is costing farmer their markets. The US had to shell out some 32 billion as a result of his screw ups in his first term with his trade war with China. These tariffs will finish that job especially in combination with loss of farm labor, setting down USAID which purchased over 2 billion dollars in farm products , cutting conservation programs along with other support. trump should be impeached along with that WART called vance.

UK here. Great speech. Said it like it is. I truly hope that when, not if, our turn comes, we respond in a similar fashion. Beware Americans, if Trump carries on like this you may find your closest trading partner is Russia, when the rest of the world takes American goods off the shelf.

Canada been living off the US for years… fair trade for fair trade

No wonder Canada has decided to concentrate trade to Europe, American arms manufacturers are switching producing American arms production outside the USA.\n\nCountries effected by trumps tariff wars will be signing trade agreements to trade outside the USA pushing down offshore prices of a range of products American consumers already consume in quantity.\n\nEurope and other trading partners will benefit from these short term moves. Trade flows, capital will reallocate to off shore locations.

Justin is such a little b boy. \nYour own country cant stand you. \nBring on a trade war. \nWe dont need you.

His name is Pres Trump and not Donald asshole. if you join ukraine to insult the us. if you refuse to do what the us wants you to do,the us will deal with you accordingly. save all these speech. if you call it a trade war. so be it.canada has aligned itself with european if americans are stupid enough to think that they were friends under trudeau then you are stupid.

Canada been mooching off the usa for decades! Maybe Canada should volunteer to drop all the tariffs they have on us if they want to be friends. Why is it ok for them to have tariffs on us but we can't have tariffs on them? Canada started this terrific war years ago and the USA NEVER DEFENDED THEMSELVES! Why do we call them our ally when all they do is take? We have a hundred billion dollar trade deficit with them already. Canada funds their imaginary socialist utopia off the backs of Americans and it's time to stop the bleeding.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Canada and Mexico should get together in trade, excluding the US. Canada and Mexico can do great things with out the US.

A REAL leader. I would love to trade Trump for Trudeau please.

It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

Canada should suspend all the things they did to tighten the border. In fact they should go the other direction. This trade war is going to hurt the good people of Canada, and resources used to help the united states could be better used helping Canadians. Trumptards only learn when they touch the hot stove.

It was dictator Trump who rewrote the free trade agreement when he was in power before. Now, this dictator is going against what he SIGNED, which is against world law. But this dictator wants the USA to have a Russia style government in the USA.

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

Highest respect for Trudeau for speaking out and fighting back for both the canadians and americans. He is right when he says no one wins in a trade war.

Canada is a country of 40 Million. The US is a country of 330 MILLION . Canada will lose bigly in a trade war so they should swallow their pride and cut a deal asap

It hasn’t been fair trading between the two in a while, time for a Canada to cough up some money they have had the fair share for some time now and if Canada thinks they win this trade war they are sadly mistaken. United States calls the shots, they are the power house not Canada so good luck Canadians. Your hate for America will only hurt you.

This is about USA jobs that free trade has moved overseas and the middle class restoration. Regan did the same thing and added tariffs on jap motorcycles and quotas on JAP CARS saving Detroit car company’s and the steel industry and saving the rust belt..... Than wall st shipped the jobs to communist china and south vetnamn putting the USA’s national security at risk…no one will ever go after wall st gamblers they are a protected class.

Thank you Justin for being very clear and succinct in what will happen with this trade war. I am more proud today to be a Canadian.

There are no winners in a trade war, the side with the most to lose loses the most, bye bye Americans won’t be visiting you anymore

Trudeau will get stomped over this. America holds all the cards and Trudeau is helping poison America. We will never lose a trade war, Americas economy is ten times Canada's.

And yet—Trudeau taps out, while Trump gears up to drag the whole world into a trade war where nobody wins. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion… but with extra drama.

Justin untrue doe knows his government will go Bank rupt with out the un balanced trade deals that swindle Americans and benefits Canada so now he has to come to the bargain table to address this issue so Donald can correct this unfair trade deal Justin untrue doe is screwed and he knows it how he addresses the issue will determine if Canada goes bankrupt or not good work by Trump to press the issue to benefit America

I just can't understand WHY, WHY A TRADE WAR WITH CANADA?!?!?!?! That's so STUPID!\n\nThats a real leader posture.

Pull the camera back and look at the big picture. The US has been divided sharply down the middle of the political spectrum. Canada has been crumbling under stupid political and economic decisions. This trade war is uniting the common people both American and Canadian and supportive allies around the world. Corruption has bubbled to the surface and many things that conspiracy theorists have been mocked for is now commonly known as truth. The people will unite while the Oligarchs mutter “let them eat cake” and there will be a reckoning. Donald might be making stupid choices, but perhaps that is what we needed to finally wake up and unite.
