Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

Well 25% tariffs from Mexico and 25 % from Canada, You Americans, for your own good and for democracy better impeach your president and his people.

Nothing but two people trying to do what they think is best for their own countries. I'm not mad at that, but Trudeau for the sake of his country, will make it harder on us by his tarrifs which tells me how much she really cares for Americans, not more than his. Which I'm fine with. You have to take care of your own, but tit for tat isn't good for anyone.

He never had any intention on cooperating with Canada or Mexico!!!!!! he had already decided that he wanted to align with Russia and Kim Jong-un way before and this happened. This good people is a red herring!!!

This is sad Canadian people don't deserve this American people don't deserve this Primeminster Trudeau good address to your people and the American people Keeping it real hard times for both countries ahead

Trudeau found the perfect crack to slither through into the good light of people ?..or trying to

Whether you agree with his politics or not, aTHIS IS HOW A TRUE LEADER deals with something that affects their country. He’s not screaming, crying, and throwing a tantrum while laying on the floor. Good for Canada! I say don’t cut off the power but put a 100% surcharge on it. Give the extra cash to your people to help with any negative financial issues they may face.

Sir, I appreciate it, but you ain't gotta explain or apologize that you didn't want this. Our US government has lost its mind. What's worse, all the people that voted for that lunatic were brain washed into thinking this mess is good. I can't feel bad for the ones that are already suffering from the consequences. I always wondered how people fall for cult leaders. I know trump ain't a cult leader cuz he ain't that smart. He's a pedo throwing hissy fits and married to a porn chick, has a self-proclaimed couch screwer assistant, and he's leaning on the help of another idiot benefiting from government money, all the while imploding our government processes. This sucks.

It's Simple Math , \n...If Biden would have Walked the Line like a good President , \n...being good to the American people \n..( by Not opening up the Gates and letting in Hell on Earth ).\n.. Then he wouldn't have handed off the Whitehouse Presidency to a common thug \n Do The Math \n.....This Whole Mess we are All in is Biden's Fault ⚡❗

Good for Canada. Trump is with Russia and Putin's puppet. Take care of your people.

It is not the people of the United States who are doing this outrageous betrayal to our good friends in Canada. It is the evil people in control of our nation.

I don't know about you you but the $66.5B we've given to Ukraine could've been used here to give to our veterans. It's time we stopped getting screwed and put our nation and our people first. Zelensky is an ungrateful petulant boy. They can fight their own battle. We have enough problems at home to deal with. It's time someone with balls stepped up. Good job Trump let's make us great.

This will cause much damage to the economy and the American people, but it will help the billionaires enrich themselves even more. They always know how to use a good economic crisis to their advantage.

Help us close the border Trudy. Do your job. There are too many people dying because of loose border policies. It's not about trade! It's about being a good neighbor!!

As an American I would love to put an end to this stupid trade war and get back on good terms with the Canadian people. But unfortunately I don't get to make the decisions around here.

♥♥♥♥Canadian over here. Many thanks to all of you good people around the world who are supporting us.

What I can't understand is why Trudeau is saying all this stuff when the people of Canada hate him and he's on his way out.. Is this Trudeau trying to pull the wool over everybody's eyes... We have the same in the UK.... Everyone hates Starmer but he's trying to sugarcoat himself to make him look good... \nI'm sticking with Trump.. ?

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Trudeau has not been a good Prime Minister. He took the Liberal Party (historically a centrist party) further left, wasted billions of dollars during Covid and put punishing carbon taxes on Canadian citizens. Having said that, this IS his finest hour and he and most of the provincial Premiers have shown a solidarity and strength that will prove to the US that their northern neighbour is not the pushover they thought they were. It's up to the American people to rectify this situation.

I’ve commented another feeds, but good for you, Trudeau! As an American, I can’t express to you how disgusted I am with what’s happening. I voted against our current administration and I’m out in the streets to try to stop what’s happening. This is disgusting, good for you for fighting back! We’re going to feel a tear in the state, but our leaders need to understand that there are going to be consequenceswhen it comes to treating people like less than human.

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

Good luck America with launching trade war against Canada, EU, China, MX etc..American people have NO CLUE what gonna hit them, whats coming with this relentness STUPIDITY by Trump admin..NO FIN CLUE

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

Trump is forcing good people to act in ways they would not normally.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

Yes, let the bankrupt Canada who is taxing their own people into poverty start a trade war instead of just complying. What a good idea, Fidel Jr.?

First of all you Rogue Thug no good for nothing dictator you don't talk to the American people you go through our fearless leader who also does it back down if you want to talk to us he is our leader and he knows what he's doing and you know very well why the tariffs are imposed so don't act stupid and try to convince everyone

At what point does the International Olympic Committee and other international sports bodies step in and ban the USA from the upcoming Olympics? \nTrump has made his position clear that he feels Russia is not at fault for anything that has happened in Ukraine. The debacle that went on in the Oval office on February 28th was not only disgusting, but it proved to me that the president is not willing to be a peaceful friend to anyone on a personal or global level. Today's tariffs only cements that proof. The framework is in place to make a strong case to ban USA from the Olympics and current future international sports events. I realize this would impact many good people, but a country hell bent on hating those fighting so hard for their freedom has no place on any playing field right now.

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

All politicians get kickbacks he is just putting up a good act.\nThe only ones affected by this terrific is the people.

I like how people act like Canada is a good country when they are replacing their people in break next speeds and they can hardly afford groceries. Their government is even more corrupt than the United States.

Good luck Trudeau, you are a lame duck and weak. You are hurting your people.

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

Trudeau what you're saying about Putin ain't good,President Putin works so hard to safeguard the rights of the weak and prevent them from exploitation by the strong in the society,on the other hand President Trump may have made a decision that doesn't suite you but that doesn't mean he's dumb, if his decision ain't favoring you simply sit done with him and converse to find a solution.Russia is not the enemy of America but the people who spread propagandas about Russia are the ones creating an imaginary enemy who in real sense is actually a friend.

We (Americans) don’t want this either. Musk and trump are illogically running rampant. We (a good portion of us) want them gone, this was clearly a mistake on us that voted (or didn’t vote). We know trump and musk are liars, ignorant, and corrupt. We as a people have to figure out how to get this nonsense out. And for the record no I’m not a liberal and no I’m not a conservative. I see the pros and cons of both sides and both sides have beliefs I agree with and some I don’t.

Why don’t you worry about Canadians and let us worry about our people in the usa . Just because you speak clearly doesn’t mean your a good leader

No country can grow without cooperation and mutual aid. This kind of attitude of the current government is pure insanity. Where are the coherent people? Where are the people with good judgment? We need them...

nice try Canada and we the people love you. but we've had half the country brainwashed by a russian operative and his rich weirdo nazi-wannabe's. and the under educated have been lied to endlessly into believing this is good somehow. ? when we figure our shit out we'll come back and ask for your friendship again. really, people of canada, it hurts so many of us to be doing this to the world. im so sorry.

Trump administration requires good economists rather than Musk. Hurting his own people , NATO countries and other countries by tarriff war, is act of creating many enemies simultaneously.

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

good luck, little man. also, to the statist warhawk apologists carrying water for opportunist politicians (like trudeau): tighten up. you're fighting your neighbors on behalf of the people who only long to rule over you. your subservience to the state isn't going to be a valid defense when this all collapses.

It’s not the US launching a trade war, it’s the Trump regime…the people of the US love Canada, and for good reasons…

Canada should suspend all the things they did to tighten the border. In fact they should go the other direction. This trade war is going to hurt the good people of Canada, and resources used to help the united states could be better used helping Canadians. Trumptards only learn when they touch the hot stove.

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

What I have loved most about the stupidity of Trump, his government and his supporters is that it has brought Europe and the commonwealth together. It’s made citizens of each country unite together at a time that there was so much division especially in Europe. People across the world boycotting the USA to show their, disgust, hit them where it hurts, supporting other business and bolstering our own economies, in doing so also supporting those Americans that did not vote for this. So much good coming from this.

President Vladimir Putin is not a dictator,everyone knows he's a good man.If not everyone let's say most people know he's a good man and if Putin and Trump unite only God knows the developments and discoveries that would be found.

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

PM Trudeau, we support you, your good people, and your country. We, as Americans, do NOT support this unholy coup and senseless trade war. We support you in your response and will still purchase Canadian goods on a personal basis. May this insanity stop soon, so we can regain normalcy in the relationship between our countries.❤❤❤❤❤
