That guy is racist towards africans. Africans in some areas can many wives no need to SA women. He should get his stereotypes correct. Why promote this?

Im Canadian, I cant think of a reason I would be in the states for more then 30 days, but if so, I have no problem with this as we should be doing this in Canada as well. Too many criminals!

For the leaders of free countries, such as Mr. Trump and leaders of the European Union, England, Canada, Australia, including those of Central America and South America, Mexico is a country adrift here an average of 80 people are murdered daily and women disappear and we do not really know how many there are, the government led by Claudia Sheinbaum, manufactures reality every day, all Mexicans know that they allied themselves with the cartels, the national guard and the armed forces only act or are trained for when the time comes for a total COMMUNIST coup, please do not believe in the Mexican government anymore, they are people with Hate and fanatics of a very cruel Satanic Communism.

Greetings from Lithuania. Great speech. While Canada has so many natural resources it is stupid for USA to go into trade war. We support Canada!

In the case of high treason, i.e. treason against the interests of the people of the country. Who came to power? A man who thinks not about the interests of the US people, but about the interests of a handful of billionaires, including political circles in Russia and China. The war against Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg of the war of the ruling dictatorships of the Russian Federation and China against the poor strata of the people of their own countries, against Western civilization and the US and the EU as a part of it. This is clearly seen in the propaganda against human rights and freedoms in these countries, the destruction of trust between people. What to do in this case? Wait until the US as one of the foundations of modern civilization is destroyed by short-sighted supporters of anarchy, monarchies and psychopathic dictators who do not respect other people's borders and treaties? Doesn't Trump's actions contradict the basic principles of the US and Western civilization? The United States is a country of democracy, humanism, human rights and freedoms, a country that has become home to the world of many people who have improved the quality of life of billions of people all over the planet. Question: When will the current US President/poppet of dictatorships be impeached?

I wonder if we might make a shortcut in policy + create a border wall between New York City and the rest of the country. We could bus all the illegal aliens in the Northeast to New York City and let them have sanctuary there. Then just keep the whole glorious mess in the buroughs. Cut off all federal funding + let them live in the problems of their own making. Many New Yorkers act as though the world doesn't exist outside of the boroughs anyway.

I’m embarrassed living in the country. Still proud to be in America, it’s just disgusting to see what is going on. All of us do not agree with this and many other terrible things that are going on. I stand with Canada. This current US administration is a disgrace.

This is a leader. The Trump agenda is the hostile take over of Canada on the basis of oligarg rule. This is a first step. It won't work. Canada has many trade partners. It's new investments on its security will work against the US.

I am somewhat astounded by many of the comments on here. Have people already forgotten about Trudeau's tyrannical behaviour throughout the 'Convid' years and the attempted destruction of the farming industry through constant bullying. I suspect that Prime Minister Trudeau is merely protecting his own interests and not that of the citizens of Canada.

Melbourne Australia is the same. Way too many Indians.

YES. As a US citizen, I beseech world leaders to stand together for sanity and compassion in the face of the deception, manipulation, disrespect, and amoral actions of our president and his administration. \n Many of us will be applying pressure from the inside. \n May we all create a global force for healing of our modern culture's destructive ways !!!

You know, as a Canadian, I started to watch this video with just a whole lot of blame and spite for Trump, but who knew that my eyes would well with tears thinking about the sad reality that is the present day (i.e. the detrimental impacts this will have for many and the generational relations that have crumbled).

Why haven’t you acted before Trudeau? Why now? It’s too late. Many of Americans died because of the fentanyl that your country poured in to the US.

i wonder how many canadines are going to be migrating to the US now?

How many times can an anchor say wolf in five minutes? Btw even my fireplace log has “made in USA with a wrapper from Canada”.

I almost completely support everything he says. My problem comes with his comments on Fentanyl. Please, this medication is a game changer for so many suffering daily in agony with chronic pain or deadly conditions. For those who need it medically, it is strictly controlled and monitored. Fentanyl is “eaten” by pain, so for those who need it there is no high, just relief.\nThose on it legally already have to deal with a great amount of prejudice, being treated as addicts and dealers when they are just trying to find a way to survive immense pain everyday. This medication allows them to get out of bed, to attend school or work, to have a life. It gives them hope and relief. \nThe opioid crisis is real, but those on a prescription are not the cause. Canada already has some of the strictest protocols in the world for this medication, leaving many people in agony as they loose access to it. \nDon’t take away something that is saving them. The drug is not wrong, those selling it illegally are in the wrong.

The real reason US put tariffs on Canada: \n\nCanada has zero nukes- so they have zero deterrence. The USA has 3,748 nukes. \nCanada has zero aircraft carriers. The USA has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers. The entire rest of the world has 16, but only one is nuclear. \nCanada has zero destroyers! The USA has 65 Top Tier destroyers. \nCanada has only 85 operational fighter jets, but they are outdated and scheduled to be replaced. The USA has 2,740 with 786 being the latest Gen. \nCanada has 82 Leopard 2 tanks and only some are third Gen. The US has 8,100 tanks and they are all third Gen. \n2.3 million Canadians own 12 million guns, but many are low caliber and low use/capable. Canadians privately hold about 2.3 Billion rounds of ammo, but most is smaller caliber hunting rounds. \n81 million Americans own about 400 Million guns with extensive capabilities and usability, including permitted full automatic. The storehouse of privately held ammo is massive in the range of 2 to 25 trillion rounds. \n40% of Americans are raised in a gun culture and develop and hone their weapon use skills for a lifetime. 22% of Canadians have a similar gun culture. \n \nCanada has gotten away with having a weak military and saving enormous costs by not having to produce or buy military equipment. \n\nThe USA has never charged a fee for providing deterrence to potential enemies, and in fact pays Canada on a massive trade deficit instead. Canada exacerbates their precarious situation, by continuing to take guns away from their population.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

As an American, I am ashamed and appalled. Please, Canada, please, know that many stand with you and support boycotts of the US.

I may not agree at all with his Gender ideology, but I agree with everything that Trudeau says. I apologize on behalf of the US, Trump the A$$ hat doesn't speak for me or many others. Please remember were not all brainwashed. I understand why your doing this, don't back down.

He is a joker. Canadians don’t respect him for he brought in many Muslims on asylum.

Donald woke up and chose violence. Hes clearly unfit. Sorry Canada that too many people here voted for a bully.

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

Well if hes going to talk like that all governor positions are off the table for him...\nMaybe Putin will catch Trudeaus ankle with an umbrella end and ding dong the witch is dead. ?\nFunniest thing is he says prices are expected to rise for Americans . Through tariffs right?\nSo then he matches those tariffs. So i guess Canadians can expect the same old bs from him.\nBC legalized fentynol! They found a giant fentynol lab out there. Imagine how many more there are! \nCrack heads all over our major cities in Canada. Jobs are down, economy is down, human rights is down. But he has nice socks.

Even though many hate Justin. He is still million times a better leader than Trump. He is a true Canadian.

From Europe : America is over ! You have vote for the beast to destruct your country ! No one trust you anymore and for many many many years, and this no matter who the next president will be in 4 years. we are fed up with you. \nYou can have all the wealth you want but you will have no friends anymore.

It is so shameful how many people voted for trump!

I agree. Our government is a big letdown in many ways! I wish I could have pride in my country again. I think you are a good leader.

As a German citizen: our US friends make me so sad and scared at the same time. After our people were defeated, we learned (at least for many of us) where nationalism and hatred can lead and how important international cooperation is. You were our friends as the Canadians were and are. Please come to your senses dear US friends. Underneath all the bad, I hope that the Canadian-European partnership can continue to grow

American here. There are many of us completely disgusted with our government and we are taking to the streets. Our friendship is vital! And don’t let them fool you. They don’t give a shit about Fentynl. It’s just a talking point AKA excuse to act like dicks. We are sorry. Not sure how we are going to get through this.

Truly a testing time across the world. Imagine if everyone could put differences aside and fight the problems that really matter, together. Trumps tariffs have a deeper root than many of us can reach.

I’m a Canadian and this guy ‘Trudeau is a FAILURE’ he is supposed to be stepping down shortly. He is fake, he has made our country horrible, he imprisons his own people. He is evil, he is wicked. He should be put in prison for Life! He has broken so many laws it’s insane. The stupidity out of all these governments blows my mind. Time for grownups to run the show and actually keep their promises, and actually do what is right! Whatever you do do not listen to Trudeau he is evil(lover of Satan). I will spend my lifetime dealing with his failures. #trudeausucks #imprisonhim

American here. There are many of us completely disgusted with our government and we are taking to the streets. Our friendship is vital! And don’t let them fool you. They don’t give a shit about Fentynl. It’s just a talking point AKA excuse to act like dicks.

Thank you, Donald, for making our Dear Leader and accomplished drama teacher adopt a speech which, however still hysterically stupid, has been accepted by many as at least coherent.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

He's a true leader all countries can learn from this man. A true role model to many ??????.

That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Sounds like a bitter ex girlfriend. So many self hating Americans, coached to love others but not themselves.

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

Dear MAGA Christians:\nTrump is working for Russia. \nWe warned you imbeciles and you still voted for him - so you could “own the libs.”\nNow, you’re going to hurt because all the social services YOU depend on (and we “libs” pay for with taxes) are going to be taken away. \nIt makes me sad that so many good people will suffer but the silver lining - if there is one - is that YOU will suffer more. Because all you have is the f***ing church (who, by the way, funnel your donations straight to the Republican Party)\n\n✝️??️

How many business has this dude owned

They looked scared as hell. Trudeau is like a vindictive fired employee who steals and damages stuff before leaving. People like him are why many companies have security escort them out when they leave. Canada is going to suffer just so this wimp can feel like he stood up to Trump. He isn't even in a position to negotiate anymore. He's just causing his country more pain for no reason. Typical socialist. Whole lot of people in the comments don't understand the numbers. Canada has zero chances to win a trade war. Many Canadian businesses are already moving to the US.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Stop the steal, think about what this means. It means stop stealing from wealthy americans to help poor americans, help americans have healthcare, help american farmers keep their farms. The oligarchs of USA do not want this, they don't want to pay taxes, they want to rule with impunity like Putin. America is being lost day by day, Welcome to West Russia. I have many friends in the USA, and this is a very sad situation and my heart aches for them. I know this is going to hurt in Canada, but screw you orange menace and president Musk, I will go down fighting for the freedoms we (our forefathers) earned, defeating the last facist pig that ruled a country

It's important to remember that it's not kind or respectful to make fun of someone for their appearance or cultural practices.1st you have to know that USA is 65 $ billion Trade Deficit with Canada Do you know how it will effect USA citizen cost will increase on average person Even i am not USA Citizen or even i didn't visited USA at present my country have trade Deficit many countries in my country very hard to live in India

Dear Canadians, we're sorry. Many of us hate Trump and didn't vote for him.

Please Canada PLEASE KNOW we are NOT being represented by by that orange, drunk party clown with many known and unknown mental problems. \nthe PEOPLE does NOT side with him and we are TRAPPED HERE on all sides. What can we do to get another country/countries to step in and HELP US!!!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!\nWe are watching the world around us burn and we. Need. HELP! \n \n? PLEASE PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! ?
