Who exactly is your enemy in this world? Leaders like Trudeau, Zelenskyy, Starmer, and most European leaders often sound like staunch supporters of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Trump negotiated with Russia and China to establish peace deals and broader economic opportunities that could benefit everyone. In contrast, these diabolical figures seem to be freeloading, using U.S. tax dollars to pursue their own agendas, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with them—including major superpowers. This isn’t America’s problem to solve. They refuse to admit that without the U.S., they have no leverage left to play with.

Go Canada! EU will happily take over the trade you had with the US :) Thank you for standing with the Free world ❤\nI know Trudeau was not liked and there's political differences and discontent in other countries as well but damn is it soothing to hear politicians talk with dignity and intelligence, unlike some American top officials right now!

Trudeau was right when he said it was dumb. The US tariffs are simply about bringing America to its knees and destroying America. That is why the country is being recklessly run. The idea is to destroy the American way of life and America. Have you seen a 3rd world country run. The fighting and the division in the 3rd world country? The events over the past weeks are not about efficiency. 1 worker doing 15 people's jobs. Who is running the government? Tariffs are one more thing to destroy America. US government federal workers all let go, paying government employees pennies on the dollars and lying to the American public about efficiency, farmers and textile workers that voted are stranded without jobs, social security being destroyed, programs being destroyed, Americans being lied to, Americans being taken advantage of due to poor knowledge and education, education being taken away and putting un-elected immigrants/foreigners to run/destroy America. Yes, the Tariffs are one more thing to put Americans in the street, turn off their electricity, take away their heating system, and make America into a poor 3rd world country. Trudeau and Canada are protecting its workers - federal and private and yes, all of Canada. Canada is United. Americans better find Unity like the Canadians are doing versus worrying about who voted Red or Blue.

Honestly it bums me out a bit that Trudeau is leaving during this utter immense shitstorm. I like Mark Carney but he is nowhere near this good of a public speaker as Trudeau is.

Blistering, I wouldn't call Trudeau blistering, more like blustering.\n\nThe Canadians will be hurt more by the tariffs than Americans. ?

Heres another clown... Trudeau is just like Zelensky... typical idiot...

Uncle Trudeau yes! Please! I need the rest of World Leaders to come out stand up to Donald Quack just like this! He’s right, this is exactly what PUTIN wants to happen, for everything to fall apart on the Western part of the Globe.

I think Trump doesn't like Trudeau and this is why he is really doing this. Hopefully with new leadership the tarriffs will be lifted.

So trudeau is more or less saying that he did a little bit to do something against drug. Like he is giving justifications. Like in scho. Lol. Trudeau justinfication??

Trudeau is a snake. Remember that. He’s scapegoating Trump. If Trudeau was a great leader Canada wouldn’t be in the situation it’s in where he’s whining like a little b*tch. He should have done more years ago. He’s Canadas Biden and now like the lunatic left he’s blaming Trump.

Trudeau talking to Donald like a kindergardener explaining to a toddler why behaving nicely is good. Using easy words. ????? OMG

isnt this perfect timing the federal court makes stricter penalties for the homeless poor and now the us and canada align to increase the burden on the us poor\nwow almost like it has been planned\nno way becas that would be devious\nthat sounds like another conspiracy\nbah humbug\nanother conspiracy\nnothing to see here\nthe govt loves us\ntrudeau loves us\nhe even said as much\nwe should take him at his word\nhe is in love\nlove love love\nwe love you to mr trudeau enjoy your retirement may it be long\n( https://youtu.be/_7xMfIp-irg?si=mWU_OB7pFTNyR1Mf )\nlove love love\nhow sweet the sound

lol that's cute. You don't have the cards either Trudeau. You're going to fold like Zelensky.

Trudeau crying like small baby must be thrown out of throne

Trump has just started..with likely hiccups...Canada is doing badly and Trudeau is on the verge of losing his position...Just do the need....stop drugs and illegal immigrants to USA...and show concern for the dissaperances ..and other injustices on its native population..The US will take care of itself...

Wish America had a real sensible leader like Trudeau.

Trudeau, who applauded the Ukrainian Nazi in parliament... In 1941-45, this Ukrainian Nazi slaughtered people like dogs. And now churches, parties, media, and the opposition are banned in Ukraine... People are being killed, businesses are being taken away... Ukrainians are being banned from leaving the country...

Global leaders, show some balls and be more like Justin Trudeau. Respect.

Trump managed to make Trudeau seem like a nationalist , weird world we live in.

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

Trudeau has used open borders to erase white men in Canada. He is a traitor and elitist that is lecturing with words he cant back up. Canadian men who arent afraid of free speech which includes NOT accepting trans gender delusion are few in numbers in canada thanks to cowards like Trudeau.

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

I know that Trudeau is not very popular now, but I've had so much more respect for him in the last few weeks. He'll be gone in a couple of weeks, so the haters can relax. I like how he's standing up to the American wannabe dictator and uniting Canada.

We need Trudeau in this fight ..I don't care what the conservatives say this is the guy to lead when the country is in problems like this

Trump can take lessons from Trudeau, this is what leadership and strength look like

I do not blame Canada from reacting one bit. Wish we had someone who stands up for & defends our country like Justin Trudeau does for Canada. dumb donald has put this country in great danger. ??

If he was legally eligible, Trudeau will become the President of America by overwhelming majority- likes of which no one has ever seen before!

As a Briton, I would like to say thank you to Mr Trudeau for standing up to the bullies in the White House.\nI will always stand with my Commonwealth brothers in Canada. ??

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

Listening to Trudeau is like listening to a teacher. Listening to Trump is like listening to a toddler.

??‍?U.S. Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris is probably thinking about those who voted for Donald Trump after watching Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, watching probationary federal workers being fired across the country, and threats to dismantle Social Security, How Ya Like Me Now? ? \n(Song by Kool Moe Dee ‧ 1987)

With friends like Trudeau who needs enemies .

Appreciate Trudeau's matured, courageous,sober, responsible speech. Trump and his pals in the white house now seem like the most immatured bunch of people compared to Trudeau, Zelensky, Macron etc. These young people are a great example for the old Donald.

? he will bend the knee he’s govern trudeau for a reason. Listen to your father like a good boy Justin

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Trudeau your people hate you just like Americans hate Biden I Thought you were going to resign? . You talk fentinal but you refuse to close off smuggling, don't lie to us or the world.

You can tell by the comments these people are out of touch with reality. Trudeau took your freedom away, taxes you to death, and Crys like a sissy boy and you still lick his boots. Canada wouldn't be ?without the US. Your government has been living high on the hog off of old Uncle Sam and now that he is leveling the playing field you're squealing like little girls. Grow up!

Trudeau is going out pm of canada.. Transition period yet put his country in conflict w trump direct.\nAnother guy like Zelensky put Ukraine at risk with the dumb act in oval office..\nWhat a dumb speech

Just like with 9/11, the U.S. never wastes an opportunity to squander the good will of the rest of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau, you need not justify all your wonderful country has done and is doing to stop the fentanyl issue...nothing will satisfy the MAGA crazies who refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their enforced poverty and disillusionment that leads to addiction.

This is all because Melania looked at Trudeau like she never looked at trump. trump is a vile, petty, little man.

Trump childish actions making Trudeau sounds like a actual grown up politican lmao

I find it amusing??? Trudeau is a bafoon who is respected by noone, not even Canadians. And because if his foolishness in failing to meet Canada's onligation to NATO, there are now consequences, and he's whining like a little b***

Trudeau is an extension of Biden and his mindless leadership. Why were you not taking stronger measures on the border before you were threatened tariffs? It’s bc you were part of the root problem. Now you’re pretending like you wanna play along but you should have chosen this a long time ago.

Trudeau looks so much like Fidel Castro.

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

I don't know a single person that likes Trudeau though tbh . Canada is ruined by immigrants and cost of living right now

Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

I am a Canadian. We do not want conflict with USA. What we want is for our new leader to be voted in - and then work things out for trade. President Trump is aware of what we have suffered. Canada has stood firm.....the truckers in our capital....brought a siege all over the world for freedom. I do not want the tariffs.....that will hurt us both. But I did not like Trudeau's speech.....it was rude. It does not represent us as a country.
