Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing strong and for remaining calm and collected during your speech. We admire your integrity and knowledge!

America thanks Trudeau for standing up to a fascist and for democracy in general! Thank you! The majority of us want your help and are against this regime.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for really trying to help.

Great speech from Trudeau, thank you for speaking to us. Trump is a old, disgusting piece of crap. He needs to be gone along with his moronic cabinet and the spineless Republicans.

Coming from Northern California wine country in Calistoga California, I say I am with you Mr Trudeau thank you for standing up to trump who is very insane god speed

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

Never have I ever wanted more than I do now to move to Canada. What a lucid, professional and accurate depiction of what is really going on. I only hope that more Americans understand that we cannot alienate and anger our closest allies without dire consequences. Thank you for being a voice of reason, Trudeau.

Thank you Justin Trudeau for exemplifying Canadian values and democratic relations ??

Thank you PM Trudeau. Fight for democracy and our freedoms. ❤

I admire you Prime Minister Trudeau! As a person from the U.S.A. I am ashamed that Trump has turned against us as citizens of this country and put the entire world at risk. Thank goodness I didn't vote for him!

Thank you PM Trudeau for this speech. i hope my fellow Americans are listening-so we begin process for returning to truth, honesty, friendship with our allies, and an intelligent realistic president and government. A government which doesn't bow to Putin.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for some clarity during these very troubling times. My hope is people in my country, the USA, will finally begin to listen carefully, and think about the ramifications of voting Trump into office again. Sadly, populist demagogues attract attention by suggesting easy answers to very complex problems. Or to put it more simply, by repeatedly lying.

Thank you world for understanding what this LEADER, Justin Trudeau, is forced to do to save our country! Horrible situation for both Canada and the Untied States

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your dignified and firm response.

I am Ukrainian, we are grateful to everyone who supports us, because our people die and we live in constant fear that a russian rocket or drone will hit our heads now. Every day air raid alert. Thank you so much to Justin Trudeau for calling putin with the true words - lying murderous dictator.

Thank goodness there are heroes like Trudeau taking a prominent stance on the world stage. It gives me hope that our allies have not gone mad, even if some of my countrymen have. We admire you and support you, Canada. Thanks for telling the truth, boldly. We love you, Trudeau.

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

Trudeau! Thank you for being the representative everyone needs! As an American living in Germany, i support you, as do all my friends! Please dont give up on Americans. Be our voice! ❤ We believe in you!!!

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

Shoutout to Justin Trudeau, thank you for being an actual leader during these very uncertain times. I truly hope your country will be able to help ours?

Thank you Mr. Trudeau for pointing out the truth and reality of the current situation because we will not hear truth or reality from our current president. In the end, the truth will set us free.

Thank you Trudeau for saying what many many Americans want to say!

Thank you PM Trudeau for your leadership!!! I wish we in America, had that! I am so sorry you and the rest of the world have to deal with this disaster Donald has created!! We as Americans are suffering, but we appreciate so much you all having solid boundaries to hopefully keep our cancer from spreading in the world!!

Thank you President Trudeau, for telling the truth about the Con-man, clownish, cruel, ignorant, criminal American President.\n\nTrump and his thugs are ruining and drowning America and risk take other countries down with them. Your righteous indignation is completely justified, noble, bold, and just.\n\nI can no longer live here; it feels like a strange, cruel country. It is being run by a madman and his minions. All cowards. All morally depraved, especially J.D. Vance. What complete hypocrisy. It is nauseating to the core.\n\nViva Canada!❤

Wow! American here. I just scrolled through hundreds of responses, looking for idiots spouting maga talking points, and did not find a single one. This gives me hope. I just hope MAGA comes to their senses before our economy is ruined. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, and thank you, Canada.

Thank you Mr Trudeau for being so direct❤

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for speaking truth and for standing against the felon who is destroying us. He and his cult are dangerous to the world and must be fought in any way possible.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I am proud of you. Well said. We stand together with you for Canada.

Mr Trudeau thank you ! You are at least a real leader ! I would die for a person like you as a veteran still today

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for not giving in to a felon bully president.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, my heart is filled with such adoration. Spoken so concise and eloquently as a leader, yet remaining respectful. Thank you for standing up for our soverenty as an independent nation (not a 51st state) and us as Canadians will stand together with you through this unnecessary tumultuous storm. Again, we thank you ?? ? ? ❤️

OMG... THE TRUTH! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You ARE the voice of reason, strength, dignity and intelligence! As an American, I am sorry to the lovely people of Canada. I am mostly sorry for myself having to live through this. Keep the peace Mr. Trudeau, and thank YOU!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up to Donald Trump

Thank you Mr Trudeau for standing up to Trump. We are all proud of you.

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

Thank you President Trudeau for standing up to Tyrant CarrotTop, we Americans stand with you.

P S. If the US is so focused on fentanyl, why don't they put the resources needed into fighting this scourge (thank you p.m. Trudeau) themselves? Why not? Because this is all a dangerous (& dumb) distraction. \nThank you again for hosting this and to Justin Trudeau for his intelligent and incisive delivery. Canada ALL THE WAY ?????????

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

Thank you for the clear message, Mr. Trudeau. \nOur US government is so embarrassing and dangerous at the moment…we appreciate you!

Thank you Justin Trudeau! You are a true leader. I'm ashamed to admit I am a United States citizen. Sorry, I did not vote for the traitor. He's an ignorant out-of-control bully and those who support him are all liars and are kissing his ring. They are spineless.

Tres bien and merci. For ignorant Americans that is very good and thank you in the our other official language. Calling trump's move dumb was purely wonderful. Bravo Trudeau.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

We stand by you Canada. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Trump for no reason made a War at his closest Ally. What a Fool. Deport him to Russia.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for that outstanding speech! ?? ❤️

I am so proud of my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Thank you for standing up to this bully. #ProudCanadian????????

Trudeau you are our hero. Thank you for protecting us.
