Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

Sad moment this is controllable by your head of govt . US and Canada should be work hand in hand . The Decision is bad for everyone in North America

Oh my god this is so sad. As an American i don’t know what we can do to fight this government, they are making it incredibly difficult

Sad to see all of this. Really sad. Hopefully, the world will be at peace soon. Trump is smart and very good at making deals, but hopefully his elegance won't lead his intelligence.

Are there any independent critical thinkers left out there that don't have faith in political sides?but instead live in reality? this guy has absolutely trashed Canada - and all anyone here can do is worship his manipulation? man - the brainwashing is strong stuff indeed... the people of the USA are just too easily directed- sad.

As a Canadian it makes me so sad to see our relationship destroyed. I always felt like we were cousins and would always stick together and help each other. This is a sad day. Our enemies have won today. Very sad day

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

He is so right. Glad you speak the truth. It’s so sad America has turned out to be like this. It’s disappointing. Praying for America & the innocent people.

I feel sad and embarrassed ? I once was proud of our Country. This is the first time we are having trouble with our own allies. Make this make sense ?This Canadian leader is articulate and ? correct.

Why is Trump in office in the first place? Even if Trump has the answer, why does he conduct business like that of a 3rd grade Hollywood clan? The world is in struggle mode, and everyone is divided significantly. This is a sad day!

It's not American's that are doing this. It's republicans. This is sad most of the fentanyl drugs are coming from america

This makes me so sad. The Canadians are our friends. It boggles my mind that Republicans think he is their savior. How ignorant

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

As an American, I'm sad about what my government is doing to a long time friend. Canadians, I'm sorry about this.

This is a sad and scary time in American history. It's clear Trump has some type of deal with Putin to destabilize the US from within.

I am American and I stand with Canada. And Ukraine. And Europe. And Mexico. I do NOT stand for the United States. This is so sad and scary.

Sad day for both sides. this incompetent man being in the office 30 days he’s creating all this chaos. He doesn’t know how to work with diplomacy and work with people who know what they are doing. Clearly he doesn’t & this is how a leader of country speaks. Lord help us what’s next, every day is some new disaster.

This is sad but you must understand that the richest man in the world is ruling over America now and Trump merely wants to be included in the Oligarchs that want to take over. Oligarchs once ran the Soviet Union I guess they are trying to figure out how to do this again. An Oligarchy and a democracy cannot coexist. They are in contradiction to each other…

An am American… this is so sad :/ I can’t believe we are in THIS timeline….

The difference between a lunatic and Trump is that within Trump must be at least 10 more other lunatics. Sad for the American people who will suffer from this trade war. And Mr Trudeau speaks like a respectfull president from a civilized country. How is it possible that lunatics can become a president from the USA?

Living in Michigan , Canadian are our close neighbors and friends. This is a sad day that will hurt both Americans and Canadians. You fought beside us in every world war. Canadians supported us and died for us during the Iraq War. Recently, bringing in planes to help put out the wild fires in California. We love our Canadian neighbors ❤‍?❤

Nearly half of the foolish American voters installed this verified criminal as a pretend president once again, knowing damn well the chaos this imbecile caused four years ago. But not all the blame goes to them, the Demo-rat politicians, with their shallow 2024 candidates along with zero support for struggling American Working Class help cause Trump. The corporate elites own the Democrats and the oligarchs control the Republicans. This is the sad state of affairs in 2024 in the United States.

This is sad ??

Beautifully spoken. Sad thing is if that clown watches this, he doesn't recognize the difference

Sad day for North America, breaks my heart. As a Canadian, this is not how I had hoped for all of our futures,.... Talk abouy 10 steps backwards....??

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

I’m American and sad Trump is doing this?

Listening to him speak makes me so sad . Why can’t we have such a composed and articulate leader? This is so crazy

Trump is playing with fire (PUTIN) and will get burned. That's the word of God in the Bible he claims to believe....so be it....but very sad for the Americans who did not vote for this garbage!

This is so sad. We Americans love Canada, Mexico and China. This is not what Americans want at all. This is what trump wants. He is destroying us for no reason. This is so hard to watch

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

This what leadership looks like. Too bad the US doesn't have this. ? Canada def with you and appreciate how Prime Minister Trudeau addressed. This is sad and is going to hurt EVERYONE.??

I am so sad???our friends, our allies, to whom Canada has always supported in their wars, has been always side by side is BETRAYING US???How can you trust??????this is the second time brothers. FIX IT

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

Trudeau trunp has no allies... that is the damn sad truth for the American people, too. Sad day, & yet another day I'm embarrassed to be an American. I live in this state of shock, though I shouldn't be. He's a f'n moron. I hate this man who is supposed to be the president of the UNITED STATES. He's done nothing but cause chaos everywhere. Stick it to us Trudeau, I for one do not blame you at all. It's really pissing me off. He does not know what he's doing, nor do those around him. There is no winning with this loser.

This is sad for the world to witness. ?

I believe Americans must stop this fool. In my opinion he is desperately trying to destroy what took 80 years to make. He is trying to turn friends into enemies, he is trying to change America from democracy into dictatorship.\nThis is very sad. \nI hope Americans will not allow one imbecile and bunch of crazies to change your great country into land of unrest and division.\nYou must stop your president from dismantling your country.\nJust my opinion ?

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

Thank you Canada! I’m so sorry this is happening, but thank you for calling out lies coming from this side. And thank you for retaliating, because unfortunately, I think we need to break before we can grow, and that’s so sad

This is yet another sad day for Americans.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

I don’t think is good ideas to do this your allies country or friend in my own opinion period. That’s sad

Speaking as an American. A REAL American who stands by our Constitution and the laws of our land and not with a TRAITOR. We do NOT want this. I have always been clueless to how Americans can hear what this traitor says and support it. It reminds me of the movie Shalow Hal. The woman was fat and unattractive but the guy saw this slim beautiful model. This is American right now. We have this Fat Traitor and some Americans see this STRONG Man who is going to make their lives wonderful by hurting all the black and brown people. Right out of the gate he’s telling them all he’s here to hurt and harm every American, but will still hurt and harm black and brown people the most. Many of them will be removed from earth in the largest earth removal since the mid 1930’s. This will end badly for him and all who supports him. The sad result will be the total destruction of our country and if you listened to him. He kept telling you that.

Well, Americans can hear first-hand that Canada has gone above and beyond to maintain a peaceful, productive alliance. This will hurt the working class people in all countries associated, but the working class Americans more than any other group. \n\nThis is a sad day in world history.

Why this is happening? I think this is the question of americans too? So sad? hopefully pres trump will change this decision

This stuff is so obvious, it's sad that grown men have to explain it like 3rd grade teachers.

From the Netherlands I stand with Canada and Ukraine. And not the lying authoritarian Trump regime!\n\nI remember Trump saying America is no longer the laughing stock of the world... True now we can really only shake our heads at this point. It's gone beyond laughing stock. It's just sad now.

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period
