Trudeau this is trump not America coming for u respect for standing up to this KGB AGENT

Just to be clear.....nobody, absolutely nobody, besides the uneducated maga's, thinks that Trump is smart in any way. Justin is just being extremely polite.

Trudeau has done these things only because Trump, has pushed him to do so. He’s also desperate that his party, the liberal party win the next election.

The US ship is sinking with Trump at the steering wheel. What a mess.

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

Don't make deals with Trump. He will break any deal on a whim.

You cannot appease a bully. It never works out. Neither putin nor trump. American egoism and stupidity made this whole thing possible. Let's hope they can learn from it.

If Canada wasn't so cold I'd move out there F Trump and Republicans!!!

Canadians and Americans are friends. But Trump intends to destroy it. Anyway Trump won't stay long.

Go Trudeau! You tell it! The REAL American people are behind you. Doing everything I can here to get the Trump Regime / Coup unseated as is my constitutional duty as a citizen.

Gas and groceries and everything cost the same gas is actually cheaper!!! A bunch of CNN Leftist propaganda!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! GOD BLESS TRUMP AND STANDING UP FOR US TRUE AMERICANS!!! ALL YOU CNN SUPPORTERS AND BOTS COMMENTING PLEASE MOVE TO CANADA:)

From America: we don’t want this either. Canada is our friend. Please keep standing up to Trump! ❤

As a German - apart from the content which is no less than justified - just technically comparing Trudeau´s speech with Donald Trump´s verbal outcome - what an incredible difference in niveau & tone. Isn't it almost tragic how little skill it took to run the U.S and even worse, how low the common-sense-threshold must be for a half of the American people to make this happen a second time. Embarrassing.

Trump is the Boss...accept it

Trudeau is a liar Trump is not a smart person he is a imbecile

Come on Trudeau , everything you said was all good and well until you said trump is smart ?

As a South African, I'm SO impressed with Mr Trudeau . Those are the world leaders we need. USA , Trump, has overplayed his hand. Thanks to Musk's advice USA is Sinking

Trump talks about peace, but only causes unrest and chaos. Shame on his supporters. Putin is happy.\nIn Germany we say: The madness has its limits - Mexico and Canada

I honestly believe Putin has something so embarrassing on Trump, like he has a video of some dudes running a train on his ASS. I'm just saying...??‍♂️

What Trump is doing makes sense in the context that he is a putinist and in favour of dictatorship

Americans wake up! Trump will be big regret for you if you dont raise your voice now!

Trump didn't just start a war with America's s solidarity leaders. He also started a war within and it's growing bigger. Pray for us leaders and people of the free world for we have a fight on our hands.

As a US citizen, who voted for Trump three times, i never thought id agree with Trudeau. \nThe US cannot win a trade war, the US versus the world. It's simple mathematics, and in the geopolitical realm, What Trump is doing is going to push countries away from US influence. \nI'm all for putting the US first, I'm all for cutting the federal government fat, and I'm all for making sure we the people come first, but I'm also smart enough to know that anytime the US has gone into isolationism, it's led to global conflict.

When are people going to realize that the Tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl crossing the Canadian border, that is just a smoke screen. the real reason is the fact that Trump is Putin's puppet and Canada is aligned with Ukraine, so now they are trying to hurt and possibly ruin Canadas economy. Trump is like Putin where he does not care if counter Tarriffs hurt the American people, he only cares about himself and his rich friends, who will not be personally be affected by them.

We could have just sat down with the Canadians and Mexicans and had trade talks/negotiations; but no, Trump has to make a spectacle of it. SMH

Trump did,not the majority of the United States, trump is the worse president we have had in decades. please do not blame all the American people. We don't want this either. I am so sorry this happened to you and Canada.

Sad very sad. But Trump broke the deal with Canada and Mexico. Now, all of us are going to suffer the consequences of Trump and Musk doings. And there is nothing we can do. That is the saddest thing.

I have to say your speaking as a politician not like a businessman your are in for a surprise. Trump is about to surprise the world.

Figured out Trumps anti-migrant policy. Hes expecting world war 3 and doesnt want refuges coming to USA. when he closes mineral deal USA can be sustainable on its own and world war 3 will start

What Trump is too stupid to understand is that the cost of tariffs is always passed on to the end user, the consumer, the purchaser. He doesn't know this because he has never paid for anything in his life.

The American dollar is not going to be worth anything by the time Trump gets through. They are cutting things too fast and it's going to blow up in their face ?

I listened to Kamala and her team speak equally articulate as Tradeaux, but Americans made their choice. Their majority might not be as good as we think them to be. Perhaps Trump is a representative of their majority.

Trump and his supporters wanted this tariff war let's put the blame exactly where it belongs It's their responsibility that they did this And they're the ones that are also going to have to Bear this too ??? Trump supporters you got what you wanted And I'm glad that you are happy about this, but in a year's time you better not be bitching about it

Thank you Canada I love Canada ?? I stand with you as American trump isn't our president hopefully it ends soon

The only Americans that Canada hates are the ones who support and voted for Trump and MAGA.

Trump wants to take over Canada's land. It was never about fentanyl.

Trump doesn't care how much we hurt he's a billionaire this is is a huge game to him he will destroy America

Soy boy Trudeau better watch his step. Don’t poke the bear. You won’t win!! Trump is a chess player. Trudeau, you’re a checkers player! Stop the drugs coming across your border!

i would drink his bath water but it was so disrespectful that he called trump Donald instead of orange angry muppet baby!!!!!!

we dint choozzz this trump did 80 % of us dont want this we love you you are great ppl dont blame us all trump has gone to far a lot of the USA will fight for you

Trump is a total idiot, it's beyond any logical explanation. All successful countries have been built on trade and immigrantion (attracting talent). Getting rid of both destroys the country, instead of making it stronger. UK and Brexit is a perfect example.

Trump had mistaken Canada's kindness for weakness...

Way to go Trump you just pissed of the entire world not just Canada hope you and your girlfriend Putin are happy because you just screwed the US

Trudeau and Canada has taken so much disrespect with all the discourse surrounding Canada being the “51st State” and “Governor Trudeau.” Addressing Trump as “Donald” fees like such a nice subtle little jab ?

trump is becoming mega rich whilst he kills the American market and send the nation into recession with high inflation. it really is time for Americans to remove trump from office...before he starts WWIII

Trump doesn't represent America, he represents himself and a group of power hungry politicians. We stand with Canada❤

Trump's rating has gone up from 50% to 53% think about that America.

Trump wants to be a Dictator like Putin.

Trump needs to shut up and fix this.

You need to realize what Trump's real agenda is. All he really wants is money. He wants to make himself and his rich buddies richer. His plan to do that is to cut government spending radically, and impose a sales tax to fleece American consumers. Once he's got the cash flow the way he wants, he will cut corporate tax and capital gains tax so that his companies and his investments can make a lot more money and so can his rich buddies, while still being able to pay off his lackeys in the senate and congress. That's it. It is that simple. Everything else is a distraction to make the media forget his real plan.
