Obviousely, Trudeau talk to the American people first to explain the situation.\nHe knows that it's absolutely useless to convince Trump during 15 minutes : he knows Trump is totally insane and dumb and can't understand one real argument!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

Trump uniting people around the world - against us.

As a Canadian, Americans must know this isn't about American people. It's all about Trump!.

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

When are people going to realize Trump is a traitor working for Putin , \nBenedict Donald

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

Good for trudeau. Trump is attacking his allies and his people cause he's a coward. He won't attack the real evil cause he's afraid. All he wants to do is make the rich richer. Why can't the people see it. This is how dangerous trump is.

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

Great speech, Mr. Prime Minister! Meanwhile, figures like Trump, Musk and their friends are raking in huge profits, leveraging their influence to e.g. steer stocks in their favor. For them, it's nothing more than a high-stakes reality gamble—at every level. And in the end, it's the American people who will pay the price. Best regards from Germany...

I like how all the PMs feel the need to compliment Trumps “smarts” and how often Trump calls other people “not smart” or “low IQ”. He must be very insecure about his intelligence, I wonder if he was bullied at school for being a dum dum.

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys?

From the Netherlands ,well spoken Prime Minister Trudeau , A rusian puppet in the White House , Your soldiers and the other allies liberated us from the Nazies 80 years ago ,we respected the US presidents from then on , but this Trump started floting due to lack of weight. Lets hope the Us peoples can solve this before it is to late. Tank you President Trudeau for speaking frankly the thruth.

Isn’t this the same guy that froze the bank accounts of his own people for protesting? Trump is charging them the same thing they have always charged us. I’m good with that.

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?

We're so sorry guys. It's not our government, it's a coup. This is not America. We aren't like Trump & the people he represents. We are 110% behind Canada! We know Trump is lying. Do not give in to this regime. ❤??

Looking at these comments about trump is mind blowing. Canada and all the other countries are not going to pay for our national debt!!! It’s freaking stupid to say you stand with Canada and you didn’t vote for this. . . Canada is barely hanging on too. It’s America that has been carrying all these countries for far too long and what are they giving back???!! You people need to fully understand the reality of the situation before commenting your nonsense. If anything, leave our country!! You people came here and took it from us!! Remember that!

Well American people wake up. Trump is going to put America in the bin. Take back your country from Trump. Kick Musk out of the office too.

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

The American people will have to suffer for their incompetence. We put Trump in power, and now we will have to suffer. Red states this is your fault.

Dont you all realize that what we are doign is equalling the percentage as they do to us , yes everyone has there opinions but the fact that we as a country goes and helps other countries but when we have a president that really cares, and bet none of you do your studys on these issues, see you all go day by day with out a clue on whats going on , its ok for other countries to take advantage of us and hurt us but its ok right its ok for countrys to hurt us as thte same for democratic leftys its ok to hurt us, i say hell no its not ok , for once in are life we need to help the Americans period , grow up people seriously grow up , trump is doing what should have been done a long time ago , biden did to much damage to much

Now that's a leader! Canada hold strong. Don't bend to that orange moron. I know Canada won't be threatened. Trump thinks if you're decent and polite, you're weak. He will soon find out that he is very mistaken. Pathetic little bullies are historically weak. Your government does not want this but will not be pushed around. Trump is doing this to his own people. Hold tight and let the intelligent Americans rise up. Ireland stands with Canada.

We don't want this either Mr Trudeau, but I don't blame you. I'm with you on your side. and hopefully, my people will be on your side since Mr. Trump fooled the American people. We pray for everyone plus the Canadians. God be with you and everyone else.

Don't worry American people they want it this problem they course the trump they want to be America great again and don't worry what is happening any American people you put your tax more than the trump number one is cut out the electric America after trump giving you mines - 200 tax cut if stop to minerals for air force stop to farmers Fortalice you can get another 200 percent tax cut is well dont think what the Americans thinking think first your own people nothing else ???

Clowns in my country got brainwashed for trump and thinking it’s cool voting for him people need to get educated before voting

Premier Trudeau, please realize that Trump does not speak for the vast majority of the people of the USA!!! We love Canada and we love the people of Canada and we love to visit your beautiful Country!!! So please remember that Trump was elected based on lies and a minority of our citizens!!!

Trump is a treat from world stability. American people, especially Democrats should demonstrate ad do pressure. It is awful and disgusting to see the US getting along with Russia and despite its historic European allies and nice Canadian neighbors.

TRUMP Is the dictator!!! Not the American people!!!

What a wonderful leader. I am so ashamed of Trump and half of the American people

Trudeau “Trump print damn these dollars so we can enjoy our trade with you and we do not give a damn about your debt” sorry lib loon USA will not cover the bill called “YOU FAILD CANADIAN PEOPLE”

We are screwed her in the US, Trump and his people will turn this country into Russia.

What American media will allow a foreign president to address the American people. This is crazy stuff. Would they allow Valdemar Putin, Kim Jong Un, or The Chinese Communist Party to Address the American people? The wouldn't even allow the British Prime Minister to talk directly to the American people. This shows that CNN is willing to do anything to discredit Trump's policies.

The sane people here in the USA support you 100% And we are Anti-tRump also. and tRump is NOT a smart person, he is a spoiled 6 year old that needs to be sent to his room

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

Trump is a Russian mole !! When will people come to that realization.

I see that we’re all still being naive. Telling Trump that this will hurt Americans is not a deterrent, that is the point. Read Project 2025, again Read Project 2025. That’s all it takes. Understand what its authors’ philosophies are. Think of it this way. We know that Trump is aligned with Putin, so what might Putin like to see for the American people? Success or Failure? That is your answer.

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

I'm sorry Canada ??. US has lost their minds. Do what you gotta do. This is what Trumps people wanted

Believe me, the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration and Trump’s garbage. He is absolutely the worst and dumbest person ever sit in the Oval Office. So we have to suffer this man’s postering and aligning with Putin because some idiotic people believe him. So please punish us, we deserve 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.

Unfortunately none of the cult maggot members are smart enough to understand that Trump has chosen to hurt his own people

Trump is a coward and we will suffer. Its terrifying to have a coward as a leader. Are we witnessing an intentional total collapse? Why did people vote for this?

The U.S. didn't launch a trade war. Trump did. He doesn't represent the will of the people. He represents a small slice of our population. Sad.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

Trump is an obvious Russian asset. He's betraying his allies and his own people, and supporting America's mortal enemy. #SovietAmerica

We're so proud of you, Prime Minister Trudeau!! Thank you for taking a stand against Trump and his tariff nonsense. The only people who will be hurt by this are the middle class. Tanking the economies of democratic countries so Trump can buddy up to a dictator is disgusting???

Its weird logic that Trump thinks 'destroying an economy' is going to make people WANT to join you.

On behalf of the people who voted for Kamala, please accept our apology. This is the height of stupidity on the part of the Trump crime family.

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

talking to the american people nor trump is futile. stop being dramatic and copying netanyahu's speach directed to palestinian people. just slam your own tsriffs against the US and let their people feel it! you are such a wimp in dealing with your bully that's why you dontget the respect globally! just do it! and do it fast! jeeez
