I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

I am Italian , so english is not my native language , I was able to understand every words PM Trudeau said, very logicaland rational thinking, at the contrary when mr. Trump speack\n even understanding the words he pronuncies is impossible for me to understand him, no logic or rationality .

don't be fooled - this guy is a cutthroat with a team of elite shadow insiders managing and scripting his every move. the canadian government is currently shut down during this whole crisis so he can buy more votes on his way out, and since he's so corrupt, his own party kicked him out and 36 of them have announced they quit

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

Never been so embarrassed to be American. Thank you for calmly speaking out, using intelligent words and phrasing, stating FACTS, speaking Truth and not spewing any form of hate!!!! Canadians have every right to beam with Pride after this speech!

Not a Liberal. Not at all, but I think that every single Canadian politician including Pierre Pollievre believes this. We have no choice

I hope as things get worse in the USA Trump was only able to do this because of our corrupt Supreme Court and the GOP!! Every single one of them threw this country and its citizens under the bus because of a short term political power and have ZERO spines. It’s sickening!!!

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Trump's goal is to destroy every single economic and military alliance that the U.S. and free world now enjoy. He has been a russian agent since his 1987 trip to Moscow. His loans through Deutsche bank were guaranteed by putin controlled russian state banks. So,, Deutsche had zero risk on the Deutsche bank loans. So the loans were in fact a payday from putin to trump as soon as trump defaulted on the loans.

I like trump for some things he does what he says . But this tariffs is a wrong move that doesn't serve anyone . it hurts every side working together makes you stronger division makes you weaker

I am extremely saddened and embarrassed by our president's actions. Seeing what Donald Trump has done in the past and is doing now, I pray for him and other world leaders every day. Their political choices matter. I did not vote for Trump, his first nor second term. He did so much harm during his last presidency that fueled so much division. And yes, Vladimir Putin is absolutely playing him, and he can not see that. I'll keep on praying, and leave it in God's hands. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico.

Trump just gave every country in the world that they need a nuclear program of their own and nuclear weapons of their own. You can not and will not and should not trust USA anymore

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

I hope all the Maganuts and die-hard Republicans that bend a knee to a despicable wannabe tyrant Commander in Cheats, who only shines in one color, Orange, feel the pain of voting for a liar and cheat when these stupid tariffs come stumbling down on businesses that support EL Pendejo. This piece of Dongbeetle fodder does not represent all Americans, and for that, I wholeheartedly apologize to our Canadian friends. Our elected buffoon wants every one to kiss his feet like his hand picked minions, unlike Zelensky, who told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

Revelation 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,\n10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.\n11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:\n12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,\n13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.\n14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.\n15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,\n16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!\n17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,\n18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!\n19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

Poor Trudeau, he doesn't realize that Trump has the IQ of the sludge I scrape from my taint every morning.

CANADA PRIME MINISTER HAS MORE courage than every REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMen And Senators!!!!❤❤❤❤??????

Trudeau is the leader every country should have

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

Trudeau, the tyrant is crying because America is tired of having our pockets picked by every country in the world

I stand behind Canada and Mexico. I wish people would think for themselves though. Believing every single thing Trump says is the stupidest thing anyone could ever do but MAGAs aren’t educated anyways.

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

*I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. It's -- it's repulsive! Isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free*\n--The Smiths & Me. About Trumpers and America.\nI am a Real Republican and I barely even recognize what we've become. Trumpers are a plague.

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

Most Americans are sick and tired of the Orange drama queen creating chaos every single day and craving for attention. Tuck Frump! He does NOT represent all Americans.

He is Dumb and it not a Smart Move, This is\n Not Going to End Well What Helll is That \n Suppose to Mean The Drama if it all and still every day\nPeople Suffer ??? Very Sad Only

As a Canadian, I am so humbled to see so many people from so many different countries standing with our people.\n\nThank you, so very much to every one of you who took time to show their support.. It truly means the world ???❤️\n\nElbows up ❤

Show trump that world is not only america buy your local product. Every country has need in each .

I wish the USA had an adult to lead it like Canada and not a bully who acts like a spoiled child that needs a time out. Trump just go golfing every minute of every day for the next three years and leave the American people to live with the world.

Millions of tons of fentanyl are smuggled in through Canada every year

Every problem is global. Fetal posittion is hardly the solution

Trump has always been jealous of Trudeau. Every time Melania is around Trudeau she lights up unlike when she’s around fatso Trump.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Every country is an adversary to trump - except Russia and North Korea ….\nHe is tearing the Uas and the world apart.\nAn absolute disaster of a leader

Why is Trump such a f*cking prick? He really hates every alliance we have, doesn't he. This trade war is absolutely pointless.

Good job Justin. I hope every one follow him to impreach Trump

I'm sorry Trudeau. This is what a strong Prime Minister looks like. Standing up for our country, not bowing down to a bully and his every demands.

Elbows up! Canadians have fought valiantly in every war, and this will be no exception. We're nice until someone crosses us. Just watch.

American markets are crashing almost every day, since the clown ? is in the White House.

As an American... I have not spoken to a SINGLE person from my country who wants ANY part of this trade war... Or any other type of animosity with Canada. We love Canada.\n\nTrump is just trying to cause chaos and nonsense headlines on an hourly basis in order to distract from the fact that they are looting the treasury. His administration is literally set on siphoning every dollar of taxpayer money they can het their hands on. Nothing could be more obvious...\n\nJust yesterday they announced their plan to buy 5% of all crypto with our tax dollars. Because apparently rugpulling his own voters twice was not enough. He wants to rugpull the entire nation. Just like the Clinton's did to Detroit. But for the entire country. Because we have become asleep at the wheel. And will do nothing besides complain about it on Twitter. Ironic coincidence, no?

I would not want to live down there with the pervasive American attitude. I thought my American friends were lovely people, but then we went to a restaurant together. I was flabberghasted by how they ALL spoke down to the waitress, as if she was beneath them. You can pick out the American tourists here, by how they talk to service people. I wish I could say this was a stereotype, but i live in a tourist town and see it every day.

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

Those tariffs are such a stupid thing to do... for every country they are doing this, USA is basically making the chinese products so much more appealing for them. It would be MUCH cheaper to exchange those products for chinese ones instead of paying the tariffs. Congrats Trump, you are so afraid of China that you are actually EXPANDING its influence on the world. \nChina has actually the chance of doing something really funny now: REDUCING tariffs for those affected by Trumps actions. Just imagine...

Thank you my prime minister Justin Trudeau for standing up for us , GOD will make way where there seems to be no way , I pray for our country , no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper , and every tongue , “trump “ that rise against us is now condemn in Yeshua’s name amen ❤.

America doesn't want to explore options to extract minerals. America wants free and clear without any bartering or bargaining from the Canadian side. American want to loot every country they can put their hands on. It's in their colonizing DNA

Well ... here it comes ... the U.B.I, digital currency, and digital I.D ... problem, action, solution ... total control of every move citizens make.

I'm European and I am so proud about Mr. Trudeau and his team. What an intelligent people. The speech is simple to understand but together it is so strong and says all that matters. Applause. 20-40 years ago US was seen as a dream country here in EU, every east European dreamed to live there, but not anymore. Today most would not go to US to live even if they are payed to do so. US reputation is in historical downfall.

This happened because Trump makes stuff up and doesn’t understand anything, to incl the consequences of his nonsense. Trump believes he’s playing 4D chess, when really he’s just performing and trying to look like a legit POTUS, the same way he does all kinds of silly stuff to pretend he’s some kind of genius businessman.\n\nThe fact that he kisses Putin’s butt and talks about falling in love with that lunatic who runs North Korea while insulting every friendly nation who calls us a friend is disgusting.
