I may not have voted for Justin Trudeau. But I respect him for not bowing to the orange man and standing up for Canada the true north strong and free. We will get through this the world is with us ??

Trudeau is a man! I respect this guy more than ever!

Respect to Canada?? Well said, Trudeau! This is true leadership!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Trudeau is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Many Canadians hate him. These comments must be monitored because I know of many Canadians that hate him. A lot of American traitors here. I am an American and I fully support President Trump and whatever he does. But I have no respect for this idiot.

I am so sorry Justin Trudeau, you have the admiration and respect of so many of us in the U.S. and we didn't want this AT ALL.

Trudeau gave the entire world a lesson to remember , what a President , wuaw, my respect and deepest admiration.

As a Canadian and not a fan of Trudeau I have to say he's earned respect as a leader.\nNot like the trumpy pile of ? south of us

7:48 Wow, Trudeau, even when he insults you, he does it with respect and class. Donald, watch and learn!

Trudeau ended on a high note. Respect!

Justin Trudeau is standing his ground. I have nothing but respect for a man that stands his ground and not waiver when he know he has done everything he can to make peace with his neighbor,

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

I finally have respect and admiration for Trudeau. I wanted him to resign, but not if he can beat Trumpler at this trade war. I'm so very sorry to you Americans...at least to all the ones who did NOT vote for that Clownident.

I have found a whole new respect for Trudeau. A very respectable man.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau! I wish I could respect American leaders as much as I respect you! Stay strong Canada!

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

Canadians are recognized for their politeness and respect. They prioritize righteousness above all else. God bless PM Trudeau, God bless Canada!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

Justin Trudeau please give respect USA .

Justin Trudeau please give respect USA .

I so much respect you dear Trudeau. ❤️ Thank you.

Great job representing our awesome country. This is a terrible time for Trudeau to step down. Right now he has the respect of all other counties. What am amazing speech.

So sad that our government knows how to SCREW UP A FRIENDSHIP. Hear, hear Mr. Trudeau you have my total respect.

HELLO FROM SYDNEY,RESPECT TO JUSTIN TRUDEAU❤??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Gov. Trudeau of Canada USA you should respect our President Trump and the Federal government.

As an American Mr. Trudeau let me say that i highly respect the way you speak with education and dignity. Thank you for what your telling us. I didn't vote for this tyrant or these republican politicians. I hope those MAGA's are happy with how we are doing and the suffering that is coming shortly.

Its very annoying to have a journalist repeat what trudeau has already said, forcing us to miss the Q&A section^ \nThat said, WOW, trudeau has won my respect bigtime. This was prob the best speech ive ever heard from 'mr. nice guy' So very glad he spoke clearly and precisely to the usa public, he is and has done everything correctly

So for everyone fawning over Trudeau's ability to be articulate, that is impressive to you only because the U.S. has had a piece of steamed broccoli named Biden as a figure head for the last 4 years.\nI can't say I understand Trump's strategy with respect to Canada, but I absolutely know that Trump is no Socialist like Trudeau is. I am happy to wait and see how this shakes out because Trump has been right on so, so many things. No one is perfect, not Trump and not Trudeau. Maybe it's not about drugs. Maybe Canada could offer to go back to respecting individual liberties and free speech in return for the elimination of U.S. tariffs. Sounds like something Trump would agree to.

I know a lot of Canadians criticize and despise Trudeau but judging from this speech alone makes me respect him a lot! I am European

MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

I always respect and love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because he’s a great person!!! I’m so proud of you for what you did for your country!!!

Respect to Trudeau!!!

This is the same Trudeau that flew to Mar-a-Largo to grovel and kneel at Trumps feet. I have complete respect for Canada but not Trudeau. If he had any balls, he would shut down all power to America.

Not a fan of Trudeau but that was a great speech, and I am proud of what he did. He's earned my respect for siure.

As a Canadian, I don’t always agree with Trudeau but much respect to him for this statement & the rest of our country’s leaders for getting together to navigate this storm!!!❤❤

Mr Trudeau \nbeautiful to hear how much you care for your Canadian. \nAs a American I'm I'm embarrassed how our leader talks to people.\nHe has no compassion and no respect for no one I'm embarrassed be an American with a leader like him?.

I respect President Putin far more than I do you, Trudeau. As I have zero respect for you, and your leftist ideology. I’m 100% in agreement with President Trump. You’ll soon be gone, so anything you say is moot. Wherever found, leftist propaganda is dead. Finished.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

Is it possible to clone Mr Trudeau and plant a clone in each country's administration please?\n\nSeriously - big respect. And a proof that one can be firm and powerful, while keeping a certain level of quality.

from New Zealand: respect for Trudeau, and that has not always been my opinion of him in the past

So much respect to you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Salute!

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Pourquoi avez-vous interrompu les commentaires du premier ministre Trudeau à ses citoyens francophones ? C'est un manque de respect incroyable envers CNN de ne pas continuer à couvrir les commentaires en français de Trudeau!

This is SO WRONG PM Justin Trudeau has my respect. I stand with you Canada.

I fucking hate Trudeau but I RESPECT the shit out if him alot more now

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

Finally Trudeau shows that He is a great leader. Respect

US Army veteran here… FDT and much respect to Trudeau as well as love to Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Trump is a Fascist and his very existence goes against everything I swore in my Oath of Enlistment to defend and uphold

As an Arizonan currently living in CA, much respect to PM Trudeau! ? And a huge F U to the orange $hit stain in our WH!
