Trudeau said that ending free trade between Canada and the United States would hurt the wealthy, but also harm future opportunities for the U.S. middle class. Trudeau argued the case for free trade hadn't been properly made, which has helped fuel the economic anxiety that students and other Americans feel.

"We know we can work towards a good deal, but we also know that we will not be pushed into accepting any old deal," Trudeau said.
