I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

I dont get it why the Americans think that we should even have to spend as much as they do on military...the whole world literally despises them and is actively trying to think of a way to attack them, but it is a much different story when it comes to Canada. Im pretty sure 911 was an attack on United States, an event that Canada did not have to involve itself with, but guess what? We did. We lost our own brave countrymen and women in order to come to the aid of the United States. Maybe the next time they want help they should look elsewhere. We were also there fighting in world war 2 way before the Americans decided to show up as well.

There is a way of handling difficult situations and circumstances. This is it. Trump would be so much better if he was a man of few words and calculated actions. You cant handle the country like its a business deal. Its deaper than one move. Its many moves with consequences.

Trump is anything but smart. People give him way too much credit. Way too much.

You give him way too much credit. He is NOT a very smart guy

Canada takes American liquor off the shelves. In Germany I saw today that my favorite restaurant replaced American CocaCola with German FritzCola (which tastes so much better, by the way) ?

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

Maybe he should discuss the constant duty fees and border crossing fees for anything shipped from Canada to the USA that have been constantly rising for years; fees that his very own government sets. Maybe he should talk about Canada demanding that anyone that sells anything foodwise to anyone in Canada from the USA has to have a special Safe Food For Canadians Food License or the goods being shipped will be rejected at the US owners cost, seized by the border and held in storage at the US owners cost, and destroyed and billed to the US owner. A license that no one actually needs considering other legal and ethical controls are in place to prevent unsafe foods from crossing the border, but Canada reserves the right to make us pay for one or we suffer consequences. Maybe he should discuss how they left their borders open to migrants, making it much easier for criminal migrants to get into the US. Maybe he should understand that the US has always been bleeding money to Canada on a trade level for about half a century with it getting much worse in the last decade because Canada's government are greedy. Before any of you come at me, keep in mind I work in the food ingredient industry as an order processing, logistics and customs & border crossing and have done so for 15 years. These tariffs were a long time coming and if any of you are on the inside of trade in the manner I am, then you know what I'm saying is true. The US is constantly paying additional tariffs by way of duty fees, customs fees, certain applied taxes (like there is literally a blueberry tax to ship US grown blueberries into Canada to prevent US blueberries from taking over the Canadian blueberry market). The blueberry tax is about 25cents per lb. which drives the price per lb. up for the seller and buyer. You wanna know why Food costs so much? All of the above with a huge side helping of GREED.

I'm sure CDN can offer UA a much better minerals deal, possibly joined by the EU. If the TSA want a trade war, the best way to fight back is isolating them.

This is very scary. Again, what Trump is doing makes no sense - there is no economic or political sense to it. So what is he doing it for ?? To reduce our trade deficit? We have a huge deficit with Canada because we import so much oil from them, which our refiners require. On top of that we get Canadian oil for first cheap when compared to the global price mark for oil. This keeps US petroleum prices LOW! So okay if this is the issue, why not just find ways to improve the economics of U.S. oil production instead of smacking all Canadian imports with a 25% hammer ??? He has ulterior motives and it’s to weaken the American spirit and sell what he has on American to Russia. And our Congress isn’t doing anything !!!

Donald,\n\nNo nicknames, no wrong address, no title, just : Donald.\n\nYet, I feel the disrespect is greater that way. I saw the Fox news host act all uppity that a Canadian was not being polite. \n\n‘Bout time you guys figure out that a Québécois can be very much impolite and tell it like it is.

Reading as much as I could of the comments below, it is with great respect that we as human can still care for one another even when we are from different countries, continents, backgrounds an so one. Evil will always try to do it's thing and we must come together to abolish it. Being from different countries in this situation is not much we can do. Maybe stop importing from America, at least till this administration is gone in 4 years. The way it's going , America will lose a lot of it's allies and unless tyranny and dictatorship follows, we will vote the so called politicians out of office and claim our rights to a better way of life. Because now, America suffers and other countries will follow. And it is just the beginning. Learn how to become stronger and don't vote for convicted felon that is doing Russia's bid. Not sure how the followers can say with a straight face that what Trump is doing is for the betterment of our country . God bless us all.

Trump derangement syndrome blinds you from seeing the dis respect zylynski showed. He triggered Trump when he said that we were going to feel war on our soil although we are shielded by an ocean. He never wanted to do a cease fire. Aka stop the killing now. Today. Than negotiate the securities. Which Trump said would be easier to do. Stop the war. And the part where we are not getting our money back where with the other nations it is a loan. That is probably the underlying reason why the hesitation by zylynski. \nAs far as tradeau. He reminds way to much of newsom…

Notice how much he has to flatter Trump. He knows that the way to get an idea into Trump's head is through his ego.

There is no way Trudeau knows how much drugs are coming across the border. The Cartel has so many ways to do it. And Trudeau flooded Canada with thousands of refugee's and he better start deporting the illegals in Canada.

Much love and respect to Canada from Denmark. We're with you all the way! ?

This will hurt america way more than it will hurt Canada! Canadians are used to tightening their belts and pulling together and remember that when our trade deals are ratified with other countries and those relationships are built and new trade routes are forged bypassing the u.s. then the u.s. will be a stand alone country wait until Canadas oil and gas and electricity is turned , and let's talk about Canadas potash and just about everything else will be gone let's not forget about tourism because instead of making north America stronger Canada will be stronger and once we start getting fair market value for Canadian energy and our national debt is gone then it'll be bye bye Americans. You won't be the stronger nation on earth very much longer. Is America joining Russia as a new communist agreement.

How much money does America give to Canada already. You are a dictator and need to step out of the way and let someone else who is really interested in the well being of the Canadian people and not his own interests.

And on Fox “News” they keep going as if it’s business as usual. All the way down to TDS and the Russia Hoax. From Europe it very much looks like a hostile takeover, from the dismantling of the judicial system, the weakening of intelligence services, the souring of relationships with pretty much all the historical important allies, be it nations and organisations to the dismantling of civil services that can create great internal uproar and conflicts.

Just one questin. Trudeau just said him an the president worked together an beliving he refurred to the USMCA. He said it made money an jobs an economy better. So he signed an agreement he didnt bring up an coulda kept rolling along like usual, but after signing it he said its been a good thing doesn't that mean he was way ahead an the new deal still left him ahead in the positive but just not as much? If so I'd like to hear him go line by line in defence of the accusations because something isnt adding up

Hate to be that guy, but Canada needs to up their military and send more troops to the border. They are way under the 2% years after the agreement and they don't have enough people on the boarder to catch anyone to know how much drugs or terrorists are coming through their border. They're preying on your lack of knowledge

Enjoy that much CNN? Consider it a souvenir on his way out in a week.

Welldone a great leader ??????⚜️⚜️⚜️from France ❤️ \n\nEurope is not weak they should respond directly in the same way...to much talking in Europe time to act... becarefull not to use drugs or fentinole to Big brothers your population ?

Zelensky was in no position to make demands. Trump wants the war to stop, zelensky wants firepower. The war needs to come to a stop and we need to stop funding a war involving a country we're not even allied with. \n\nIf you dont agree with tariffs, it means you know that you import way to much shit. Dont like the tariffs, build it in america. Thisnis about american jobs.

The rural parts of America, where people wear military style clothing, work out so much they have oversized body muscles, and style their head and facial hair so crazily, driving heavy duty trucks with anti -American government bumper stickers, they are the right wing domestic terrorists. In those mountainous rural counties you will come across poor grade roads with gates and chains at the entrance to hundreds of fortress compounds. The women are way too thin, often with frightened, glazed looks in their eyes. Both the men and women will give anyone a way too long piercing stare. They live too far away from any place to work so many of the carefully obscured building complexes, often jammed against sheer tall walls of rocks, have to be making something inside!

Much respect from Holland! Canada is really standing up for itself and the world this way. A great way to respond and communicate. ??? The world must follow and UNITE.

Over the decades, the dollars only fluctuated a few cents up, or down between Canada's dollar and America's dollar pretty much canada is like another state. To have a trade war with Canada is just stupid. There's no other way to put it stupid

Queen Donald is just pissy because these countries are not bowing to Kiss the Ring like Republican senators in congress people are it's really pathetic and sad and it just shows how much of a coward Queen Donald really is because he won't dare talk to China or Russia that way

Excellent speech! I believe that all US Tarif affected countries and regions should seek a closer economic cooperation. The world is much bigger than the US and I'm confident that there are other opportunities to be found. By the way, I watched an interview with Chrystia Freeland this morning. She had an interesting suggestion: put 100% Tarifs on Tesla cars. Excellent suggestion that caries a strong message the US government!

Harsh how can you say harsh when we will suffer as much as canada your news channels will seize to exust to remeber dictators dont like news he is Destroying this country ti where it will not be able to stand against forighn enemies hes opening the way for putin its obvious people are worried because we see it crumbling !!!

Trudeau and the liberals were way underwater. Trump could have had a right wing ally in Canada, but Trump has managed to enrage everyone in Canada so much they are probably going to support a liberal gov't that will resist the US. Good!

The Brainwashed Americans should be ashamed of themselves to believe that Trump is the Answer, the guy is going to tear the world apart and that goes one way.. wake up the mans filling his own pockets as much as he can for 4 years

JD VANCE.. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! . Today he slagged off European armies that fought and died beside US troops. Desert Storm, Irak, afghanistan and some more. As random small armies with no experience.Pretty much useless... \n The anger from allied vets, military personal ect. is furious!! To say the least.. \nJeez, That is some way to disrespect the fallen allies.. That is irreparible. Despite how much smooth talking he or Donald Putin will try with.. He is obviously dumb f..ed

Lol...former POTUS sitting back watching this dumpster fire saying see i told you. they are not speaking out because they want to let it burn only way the voters will see what they have done is to suffer at a macro level. why you are not hearing much form the other party.

This hurts Americans in a much bigger way than minerals, oil etc …Trump is destroying all our relationships with allies all over the world. This has a larger impact than people are realizing… Trump has now isolated us from our allies and is stirring up trouble all over the world..just for Putin!!!!!

Shouldn’t border security be a mutual effort, while the states unequivocally blames Canada and Mexico for the problems within its own country,it’s always been a two way street, illegal crap filtering back and forth between borders, the states need to own just as much of the responsibility, obviously they haven’t been watching the borders either or there wouldn’t have been so many illegals getting into their country, it takes two to tango.??

My godson's parents, who he loves and respects and helps financially, are undocumented immigrants here in the US for 30 yrs. He lives in a community of undocumented folks. He and his brother voted for Trump. His whole family understands the consequences of so many people being here illegally. They all understand that being here illegally is a way for our government and the elite to use and abuse people much more easily. When you have as large of a percentage of the population who aren't protected by their citizenship and the laws and who can't access the full benefits of citizenship and who are always scared of being caught and will take less pay, people can be used and abused more easily.

it's going to work. Canada wont go to sell in EU or China it's over seas way to long and most of the times still has to go thru the US lol it's to costly for one, and EU just wont cover all the cost, forget the logistic nightmare. US is like a 2 hour drive away!! big big difference. So simple, trumps tariffs will make Canadien companies sell there product higher so they dont lose to much profits. what does that do? US wont buy! then companies shut down, people loose their jobs. very simple. Many go on welfare for a year, when they run out older one or less educated one cant find jobs etc...Trump will kill Canada plain and simple. that's it that's all. He want our resources and will do it, we are done for. this will also kill truck drivers and many many many side workers. until we are part of the US.

the delivery guy has so much anger in him he was about to punch him down. the way he controlled himself is commendable

What's the problem with these people, he's just doing his job? Why bring in so much hatred, had things been otherwise that this westerners had to come to India for work? Should indians behave the same way with them?

Wow, this guy is very intelligent, he puts some clips he loaded from news or the Internet and unloaded them here to bait the people. They are coming by the thousands but the video shows only a few people. First thing is, people crossing into the USA, it's not upto canada to stop them. If somone enters canada from the USA then its upto canada to stop them from entering, not the USA. If sombody crosses into USA then it's upto USA to block them..\n\nMost of the content in this video is false. People are always trying to cross into other countries illegally, but it's upto the other countries border security to stop them and send them back..\n\nWhat a lie about the bus waiting for these people at the crossing points. LoL...sure sure..\n\nIce is nothing but a reality show, very little reality but it's entertaining to watch because people think it's real. Lol...\n\nTrump used cheap labor to built his Empire. do you guys think he hired Americans to built his luxury hotels, casinos, towers etc? Heck no, he used these very same migrants he claims to be taking your jobs away from you. Guy soreads lies and speaks from both sides of his mouth. Think about it. If you have a business, are you going to hire expansive labor or cheap labour? If you wanna make BIG profits then you knkw who you'd be hiring. Face it. Migrants will do jobs that no one wants and they'll do it for a lot less. \n\nI got a roof put on my House for less then half of what i was quoted. Thanks to the hard working migrants. Take it to the bank, ICE is not created to deport big numbers of migrants back, its created to make it look that way. How would you know how many people they deported, oh yeah, becasue the orange men is going to brag about it and you'll fall for it. Much like this video.

Hi I'm from Russia and I would say that mostly people who lives in english speaking countries they usually can only tell about wealth privilegues of having particular passport, offical status of their country and that's it. for my personal opinion the motherland is something that is more than that. I didn't travel much somewhere but I've been abroad and I would say - nowhere is better than here in Russia for me. And those people who just moved there to foreign counties from Russia as example they pretend that it's much better for them in completely alien country. that's a bull shit as I guess because each people is like a spider who since it was given a birth is spreading out it's net in particular place (their parents, friends, first love, lovely places, and etc) and since they moved somewhere all this NET will be torn for a long time or forever and never restored anymore. and for my personal opinion immigration is BULL SHIT and I would do it in a completely disparate situation. And I see nothing common with english speakers in mentality, everything that you're interested in is a personal wealth and interest in everything. Russians in this way are much better.

I bet he didn't see that coming. ❤️ I feel the exact same way. Come here legally like my great-great-grandparents did. They sacrificed way too much to come here legally.

48,000 illegals entered Canada from the US from Jan 2023-Dec 2024. Don't hear much about that on the US news. Its a problem both ways...common people, get educated once.

This is getting out of hand the illegals are like “ “ being in a dark room then someone turns the lights on! They need to go we need the national guard to keep these illegals from coming in here. They hate the United States so much but they still try to come here and destroy our way of life. New York needs to be cut off from all federal funding so this craziness will stop. Hopefully, the government knows about this and will be waiting for them this is just disgusting!

It's very good that this kind of progress is being made on the northern border, and I hope it continues. However, it's really too bad that it got to this point in the first place. The northern border used to be much more secure, I hope it is that way again soon.

Much more migrants go from the US to Canada than the other way around.

So much misinformation in this video. First off, Trump didn't force Canada to do anything. Canada had the $1B security plan already in place and was going to do this long before Trump came to power. Secondly, more people come in to Canada illegally from the US than the other way around. Also, Canada has a huge issue with these people smuggling US guns in to our country. \n\nThe US needs to secure its borders. Canada has the fewest number of illegals coming in compared to US and Mexico, and also, they all come in from the US. Nobody is swimming across oceans to come in to Canada illegally otherwise.

So, Canada is allowing these people into their country to sneak into our country. They couldn't get to our northern border if Canada didn't accommodate them. Entry into North American countries most be much more restrictive. Does the Canadian officials really think that turning away foreigners that say they are vacationing for two weeks is going to cripple their silly economy? They are telling Canadian border officials that, then they have two weeks to find their way into the United States. Moreover, the buses leaving Canada must meet very high restrictions and more Canadian border agents must be on duty. I'm fed up with my country being a flop house for the world. With all the energy they have to come here, they should put toward their own shit hole countries to make them better.
