He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny.

Nice to see you won't be bullied by that idiot \nFrom England

Canada, buy Greenland! Trump doesn’t understand nice people.

So sick of everyone who mindlessly support Trump! The GOP are puppets & cowards, only interested in self preservation! Nice to hear a competent leader speak...great job Trudeau, do NOT back down to Trump!

nice speech trudeau. Resist fasc1sm! resist trump! he should be imprisoned! we are counting on you to protect our jobs & speak up for us & oppose trump!

Trump putting United States first...nice.

As an American I speak for many that we did not want this for our countries and I condemn our President for being just a bully and a fool. Its so nice hear a leader speak with intelligence and compassion. Mr. Trudeau and the people of Canada I stand with you

To CNN- it would have been nice if you had had the patience to let us watch the whole press conference uninterrupted. I guess I will have to go to the CBC,

hmmmm.. that trump is wanting 50% of Ukrainian minerals, wants Greenland, wants Canada to be the 51st state.. it’s all mineral greed .. panama a nice real trade route.. scattergun approach to land grabbing .. vile and not smart at all

All that because of one comedian,that want's to become president.....nicely done Green guy,nicely done.

So that's what a leader sounds like ?it's only been a month but all I hear is a suit without a president in it ?! It's nice to know my neighbors are still decent folks , that's where I'm vacationing this year ! No more red states , your not getting my money!!

We just nicely recovered from the Covid pandemic and Trump pulls this crap. Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

Nice one, Justin.

Fentanyl coming from Canada was less than 1%. This was just an excuse for Trump. Trump wants to start WW 111 and start with Canada. Trump is old, he lived his life, he's not thinking about the young generations that ha e just started living. \n\nI believe that Trump is in with Putttin to give him classified information, knowing that he will not get away with his criminal charges so he can deflect to Russia where these is no Expedition treaty. TRUMP IS A TRADER!!!!\n\n\n Canadians are very nice people, until it's time not to be nice and that time is now.

I'm from Texas, where I am surrounded by Trump supporters, I can't begin to express how frustrated and isolating it feels. It's so nice to see a president speaking so eloquently and coherently. I stand with you Canada.

Very nice, except for the part about Donald being smart. Please don't lie to us about something we can all see is obviously not true.

Very nice.

Donald is not smart, he's a dumb shit. Why do people keep talking nice to him or about him? He's an uneducated todler that got everything he has from his daddy. History will show that he was bankrupt in 2015. All this is happening because a felon tried to stay out of jail. And he was willing to sell everything in the world to whomever in the world, just to stay out of jail. Same with Elon Musk, it was getting harder and harder to sell fantasy technology to people. So why not buy a felon, and destroy USA for Chinesse and Russian money?

politicans are the truest when they have nothing left...nice!!!

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

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

IT IS BOILING NICELY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice speech Mr. Trudeau ! Well Done ! Fière d'être Canadien tout d'un coup !

Nice to hear someone smart, speaking with empathy. Not like the foul mouth name calling president America has.

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone... presidential running our country instead of our malignant narcissist, pathological liar felon?

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

It’s nice to hear a real leader speak & understand everything word he says. The US is a sad place right now!! ?

Another nice spin move from the Comunist News Network. Don't look behind the curtain folks. LOL.

Nice going America. Have your egg prices gone down? Do you have a new national healthcare plan that blows the other one away? Do you consider this as more “owning the libs” and is it worth suffering more for the benefit of the rich? What a clown show.

Yes Sir! So nice to hear a leader who can speak in whole sentences.

Nice army

Nice speech but your still hated in Canada!!

Even thought it sounds nice he's actually lying because there IS no 1.3 Billion dollars plan in play. They can't do it because he prorogued parliament hence can't pass any bills or release funds to anything. The rest seems right but that part is a fallacy.

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

You can be nice on both sides, say nice things all day long. But when actions says other wise then it becomes a problem with any nation that promises peace, happy days, smiles and sunshine. If any nation is going to do what they say then work together as a world not a different solar system.

I wish i was Canadian right now. \nI government willing to work with the people. \nThat sure would be nice.

It must be nice to know I surrendered in 2 languages ?

Harsh? The idiot made him governor. I think he is speaking very nice about Trump. Trump respects only bullies and people should talk to him accordingly, so he can understand.

Their English sound so nice through the ears.

Nice talk Trudeau,what about the carbon tax that hurst us

Remember when this same fellow froze protesters bank accounts and began collecting peoples weapons? Yet, he has the gull to talk about dictators. Trump actually wants to avoid WWIII and I hope what his administration does will bring an end to the war. Though, I do agree he should be more tough on Putin. That being said, I do agree that the crossings from Canada are not nearly as significant as compared to our southern border. It would be nice to see more from Canada in their investments to secure the border and stop crossings, cartel movements, and drug operations. The US has spent more than 409 billion since 2003 on such operations. Regardless, I feel for you Canadians and it sucks that it has come to this and I hope we keep strong relations in the future. Hopefully we can come to a fair deal soon. Mexico and China are the big players that do not do nearly enough to prevent these crimes. In fact, the Mexican government helps the cartels by not trying to stop them. China's lack of regulation on the ingredients to make fentanyl contribute to a large extent to this tragedy as well.

How nice. CNN thinks no one speaks French.

Nice job Trudeau!, I have not always liked what he has done but he is showing that he can stand up for us when we need.

Canada will vote this woke president out. Fair enough. Reciprocal tariffs. It’s not a trade war. It’s trade fairness. Every advanced country depends on trade with other advanced country and China. In fact Germany depends heavily on Russian energy which they’re now buying for a much higher price via other channels. So screw playing nice. Get with the game Canada and Europe unless you can hold your own

I really hope the orange traitor has a nice obituary in the papers...ASAP

Propaganda and then fill it with bot comments likes. Nice CNN

Good on you Prime Minister. You can't be nice to a bully .

Trump managed to piss off Canada, a country that literally has no issues with anyone, like how do you do that? Canada is like the nice popular girl out of the popular girls group. Like she knows she’s pretty and popular but is humbled about it . And when her friends bully you, she stands up for you. Only trump can manage to piss off someone like that off. From Australia, we stand with you Canada!

Nicely done mr. Trump! \nAmerica and Americans first
