I've always respected Canada as a intelligent, polite but tough as nails country. I have not and will not forget how you helped liberate my grandparents by spearheading into their German-occupied country and for providing refuge for their royal family. I can only hope that the special relations between Canada and the EU will become warmer instead of colder like the direction that has been chosen by the US.

We Canadians are tough. I am very proud of Canada.

Great words from PM Trudeau standing with you Canada ?? across the pond in the UK ?? SLAVA UKRAINE ??

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We reasonable Americans appreciate our good neighbors in Canada. I'm willing to suffer in order to get rid of Trump.

As I look at all the wonderful comments from Americans supporting Canada the tears are streaming down my face. Thank you! What I worry about is what is Trump up to?. \nWhy the decoupling from allies, not just Canada. Worse, why support Russia at the UN? Why take down your cyber defences? Is this a dictator digging himself in? Is he using Kim Jung Un's playbook? Americans, please be very careful with this man. The free world loves you but we need you to be free.

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

The world is with Canada, thank you to allies uniting across the globe to combat the facist orange potato to the south!

Wish we in America had a president this put together. I stand with Canada

Canada need to build a wall to protect them from trumperica

There is not men in Canada

This brow beating from Canada won’t slow down the reality it will be the 51st State of the USA.

what a great leader ....... what a great country GO CANADA !!!

As someone who lives in Ohio....Go Canada Go!!! ??

What an idiot. Your going to collapse your country. We dont need anything from Canada. Start making cars in usa again. Create a landbridge from alaska to Washington at least 1000 miles wide. Canada lost thier freedom of speech and thier freedom to protect themselves. Americans love Canadians so wee need to end the tyrannical globalist agenda and remove that regime from the face of the earth. Lets give canadians thier freedom.

Go Canada go!!!!❤❤❤

How hard is it to move to Canada? By the way, Trump is NOT a smart guy.

If the administration wont keep their word with Canada why would they with Ukraine. Keep your minerals Ukraine !

i have relatives in canada, i didnt even see this coming.. but this is what russia and china wants to see..and our government is handing us all to those enemies..

I'm an American and I applaud your honest, grounded and to the point speech. What I'd like to hear from this side of the boarder. Stay strong Canada.

Without the US Canada will go bankrupt and don’t call him Donald he os the president

Well spoken amazing president ???respekt from us Europeans ?? to you Canada ?? and Canadians ??????✊️?

I stand with Canada! Mr. Trudeau is a great man.

Vive le Canada!

Canada I’m sooo ashamed of our diabolical leaders. Fight us however you must ?? ??

I am Canadian, and this clown speaking is reason for downfall of Canada, financially and socially and most of country wants him out..But yes tariffs on Canada are absolutely ridiculous and will harm both nations..Canada more..and Trump knows this

MAGA isnt interested in facts. \nThe people ARE. \nThis American stands with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Europe. \nThank you. ❤️‍?❤️‍?❤️‍? \nResist.

All were asking Canada and Mexico to do is police their border.....I don't think that's to much to ask.

I'm American and have Canadian friends and we as a country never had problems with Canada. Why create a issue when there was none to begin with. Insipid

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

This doesn't make any sense to me at all this another reason for trump doing all this is so simple he wants Canada to become 51 state this man is delusional

Standing with Canada and the truth!

Canada should put a hold on the F35, and work with Saab JAS39Gripon, or the join Euro-fighter. Canadas interests are more in global trade partners, Japan Taiwan, S, Korea and Europe. For long term development, a focus should be with Scandinavian North Atlantic Arctic partners.

Well done Canada. We deserve it.

Trudeau destroyed canada and resigned why is he speaking.

US GDP 12t, Canada 2t. I think the US is going to be just fine.

as a michigander, i am with canada 100 % rdk

With you all the way Canada!?

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

CNN and Justin Trudeau are betrayers. Canada border is not secure

Thank you Trudeau for letting Trump know how stupid his tariff plan will be for the US as well as Canada

We Americans do not want this either……. Can’t we throw old Donnie into the sea ?, like, right now? I understand, Canada ??. I stand with you and Ukraine ??.

The Governor of Canada is mad ? ? ?

Trudeau is a complete moron! He is unable to negotiate a deal and is fear-mongering and threatening the US. This is the end of Canada and Trudeau is to blame.

Moving to Canada for sure.

Finally this is our Prime Minister. We won't back down! PROUD CANADA ??

It makes sense that you don't want this as you have been ripping us off for many years. All we want is free trade. What we have gotten is lopsided trade. FAFO. The USA has a strong leader now. We have plenty of options to fulfill our needs. A little bit of extra cost is worth it to bring our industry and jobs back here and rebalance our trade agreements. Canada was running a fentenyl superlab which manufactured enough to kill off its entire population two-fold! We don't want that trafficked through our border into the USA. You may soon find out what happens when you try to strike someone who is much stronger. You may get it returned ten fold. We shall see. Goodbye dooshbag!

Pls elect Tredeau again. He will destroy canada from with in

Bulgaria ?? stands with Canada ??

This means the cost will be on the buyer. Canada buys more from us than we do them. This will hurt them way more.

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?
