You were wrong at one point only, Trump is not smart, he is as dumb as his actions. In a few weeks he messed up the free western world holding hands with Putin?! Used to love the US and went there every year for holidays.. now we will go to Canada.. as a Swede I think I would like both the land and the people. Your president seems to be great?

Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

UNITED STATES DOES NOT NEED TRUDEAU TO TELL US WHAT THE TARIFFS WILL DO TO US BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HIS BUSINESS. HE IS JUST TRYING TO USE A SCARE TACTIC SO THAT CITIZENS WILL PUT PRESSURE ON PRES. TRUMP TO STOP!! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS TRUDEAU!!

Trump now has his hands on the FBI's access to 702 intercept technologies. Will Trump abide by the laws or will he use 702 intercepts to go after his political enemies. Thoughts former non-compromised intel community? Murdoch is a M.I.C.E. catcher.

Why did you not answer the question of why does Trudeau and Canada think Trump is using the fentanyl excuse?\nThe intention of using a trade war to undermine the Canadian economy to make Canada the 51st state.\nIt is an existential threat to Canada as a nation.

kudos to PM for calling Trump out on using fentanyl as an excuse, other leaders should take advice from him and just call Trump out, Trump has no problem making lies to sell his narrative to his fans, leaders should oppose it and not let him just lie to anyone who believes him

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

Thank you Canada for demonstrating moral courage in the face of Trump, a clear Russian Useful idiot.

Trump is a Russian asset \nOr he’s a “ useful idiot “\nEither way he needs to be locked up in the big house and certainly not the White House

I love how it used to be “president trump” or “Mr president” but now it is “Donald”?? very subtle but very powerful. Show us no respect and expect none in return #canadastrong

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

This chump tried the same fear tactics that Zelenskyy tried to use with Trump.. America can stand strong and independently.

Trump used a dumb excuse to cover his lies.

Trump is just doing what Putin wants him to. The plan is to ally with the bad guys. Our govt will be broken and empty, except the military, and Putin will come in and take over and use our military to takeover other countries. I know that sounds like a bad movie but nothing shocks me anymore and I can’t think of any other reason for America to be pissing off our allies - the good guys. I was in Canada over the weekend and I really didn’t want to come back. ?

That lady simply lied and tried to twist reality. Trudeau didnt say anything Anti-American. She means anti-white supremacist....trudeau is saying America is not going to use them but mistreating at the same time. Canada is right. Protect yourselves. People in America will see that supporting Trump is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. its just a matter of time.

That woman saying antiamericanism as a Canadian we aren't anti anything but Trump. CNN is now not saying anything bad against Trump now they use soft language you guys used to be the good guys. For the record China has sent delegates to Ottawa about byd and taking the tariffs off the car manufacturer and there is talk about 100 percent tariff on teslas. Long live Canada Slava Ukraine from Summerland bc Canada

Trump is not smart, he's Russia's useful idiot.

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

We are with you sir! 99% of Americans support Canada!!! Trump is a racist ignorant POS!!!!! The only way to stop rhis is to remove trump and vance using whatever methods are needed!!!

Donald Trump uses ridiculous arguments to justify his atrocities: Fentanyl, Ukraine, starting in the war, Ukraine, being disrespectful, the European Union ripping us off.

2018 Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber and the cost to build a house or any thing requiring lumber went up. House insurance went up as the replacement cost using lumber had gone up. Any business with a relation to lumber had gone up. The US has given itself cancer and cut cancer prevention research. Trump is the unwitting AntiChrist.

Canada is what we use to be until Trump got in the picture.

Fentanyl - Pffft! Unquantifiable, only mentioned because it gave Trump the excuse to use emergency measures. Red Herring!

Trump knows business, but not economics. Running a country isn’t like running a business—they’re different games with different rules. He’s declared bankruptcy six times—would he use the same reckless tactics on the economy? Hope he realizes the difference sooner rather than later!

I am embarrassed to be a citizen of the United States now. It’s disgusting how we have allowed a completely unqualified and morally corrupt individual to become our President once again. What has happened to our country? We used to care about each other and our individual rights. We were willing to fight for the weak and help others around the world. We soon will be isolated as our allies turn their backs on us. Is that when Trump will join hands with Russia and China to create a communist block of power?

I do hope that Canada, EU and Britain will work together, there is no reason Britain and EU cannot replace America as the main trade partners and I have seen plenty of other videos about other asian countries indicating interest in Canada's trade.\n\nBut this is much more than just tariffs, Trump has really gone off the deepend siding with Russia and undermining Ukraine, even undermining the sanctions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is already trading with Russia, using whatever bizarre pretext he chooses.\n\nThese should already be red flags to Canada, there is a long standing relationship with the UK and Ukraine, but Canada is only reacting on the tariffs, which detracts from what other action they might have taken.\n\nThe imposition of these tariffs should be the straw that breaks the camels back, I hope that if America repeals these tariffs that Canada will still diversify so that they don't ever end up in this situation again.

What is wrong with Trump. We used to be friends, but now US have new people in leading positions and all went to s*it. As European citisen i would like to see we are all friends like we used to be for 80 years. Or am i weird?

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

Fentanyl is just an excuse Trump uses for these tariffs. I just don't understand what his true motivation is. He's sick. He truly is.

Trump is using these tariffs as a way to gain more power for himself and to harm the US government. Prove me wrong.

Its so sad how he has to use specific language to get Trump to even listen lol

This isn't about fentynal.. Trump is just using that as an excuse to go after Canada. No nation should ever put their trust in Trump nor his regime. They are snakes.

Trump hopes to use tariffs to pay for 50% of his tax cut for the rich. What has Trump done to cut the domestic demand of fentanyl?

Here, no more buy from USA, cancelled Netflix, cancelled amazon, cancelled orange, cancelled trip, cancelled most of Google I use MapQuest instead. And I do not want to do anything with USA as long as Trump and Gop are in charge. I hope Canada will take off any tariffs from China because no use to buy things made in China via USA. I will buy directly from now on

Trump has been under Putin's control even before his first term, doing exactly what Putin wants from him at the moment. That's the only reason. Maybe he fell into a honeytrap or there’s other compromising material the Russians have on him that they could use to blackmail him. He’s a narcissist, which fits perfectly with this. Anything else doesn’t make sense....or why is he only attacking allies and licking Putins butt?

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

Trump being a narcissist will absolutely take this as an insult by Trudeau. Trunk will feel small but instead of using this constructively, he’ll lash out even further like a child.

no use for us to discuss one that dont hold to his word and respect his own signature the gang of trump-vance-putin wants to dig the graveyard grave of the free world so trump the puppet is doing putin job destroying it

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

You can't ever debate a liar. You cantbein unless you lie first and don't stop lying. When world leaders try to use facts in any argument against Trump is like debating a liar. The stupidest person in the world who signed current trade deals is the stupidest president in the entire world. Stop using facts. Start calling him the name he hates the most, STUPID. Until you play his game, you lose, WE lose. Wise up

OMG! Watching Trudeau continue to use the nonsense about 1% fentanyl makes me ???. READ THE BOOK WILLFUL BLINDNESS! Trudeau is full of sh*t here and the USA government knows this! He is “virtue signalling” and just going to piss off Trump even more. ??‍♀️

Trudeau said it - it’s all because of one guy. Throw Trump and all of his toadies out and let’s get back to business together. He is dismantling your country and these tariffs are simply one mechanism that he’s using to ruin the US. The US is no longer in the position of world leadership and respect and it took Trump less than two months to do that. Your government is failing you and hurting you. Throw them out now.

I bet the Canadians will spend the new tax revenue on affected industries. \nOn the other hand, watch Trump use his new tax collection from American citizens for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump is just a blowhard bully who thinks he’s cool because he’s surrounded himself with the richest people in the world. \n\nHe’s like the nerdy kid in a high school movie who thinks he’s cool because he let the jocks use his house for a party when his parents are away. Except, he doesn’t know that the “cool kids” are going to take advantage of him, raid the liquor cabinet, leave him with the bill for the pizza, and leave the house trashed before they walk away laughing about it. Then mom and dad are going to return with the house in tatters and the kid with Sharpie on his face.\n\nOf course, in reality, Trump is probably pocketing a few million/billion dollars so he and his family can leave the country when it’s all said and done. Trump and his Billionaire Buddies have no desire to make America “great again,” they just want to squeeze the country for every last dollar and leave to another part of the world.

I wish they would stop saying US and use Trump instead , he is the sole culprit this disaster and all other chaos affecting America and the World.

I bet the Canadians will spend the new tax revenue on affected industries. \nOn the other hand, watch Trump use his new tax collection from American citizens for tax breaks for billionaires.

Trump have the chump card to take the world using putin. Why not!

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

If trump uses the military to attack the USAs closest Allie for over 100 years, what will you say then? I will not become an American citizen, I will not bow to trumpty dumpty. Canada’s not for sale! ?? ?
