I agree with you about everything what you said, PM Trudeau.\nGreetings from Croatia, Europe????..

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking with such clarity.

What about saying that Trump is the best Sino-Russian asset in the US ? 'cause that is what he is, currently... jeopardizing generationnal friendship and alliance partnership for a despicable inner self.\nAs a French citizen, I stand with you and your people, Sir Trudeau. And I'll always stand with Canada. *You don't boot a cousin out.*

Thank you Mr. Trudeau!!!! Our new President is an absolute IDIOT along with his Vice President. Unfortunately, he's really not that smart. Hang in there and it will be over in 4 years.

Justin Trudeau is such a courageous and good leader. I stand with you, Canada.?

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

lol we get enough lies from our own government we don’t need any other county trying to govern us as well. Trump is changing things. It’s not the same government you’ve pansied with for the last 4 years. Get your big boy panties on Trudeau. You have no one to border your country except the us dummy. You don’t have the Mexican cartel coming from the south that has to get through the USA first.

Love Trudeau lets stand together against Dictators. Never justify yourself in front of a Narcissist they don't care ..they just win time with this and turn your arguments against you

The only thing I disagree with Trudeau about is that Trump is intelligent. Trump is clearly a fool and a coward. Good luck USA. You are going to need it.

Trudeau can either kiss Uncle Sams ring or Uncle Sam's ass. It's up to him. I say raise it another 25%. If Canadian leadership is so great they dont need trade with the U.S. right? So fk off. Lets see how well you do?

Trudeau im American you can't reason with a fascist. Stick it to him.

American who stands with you Trudeau!

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

Very nice speech Mr. Trudeau! \nI'm proud to have cousins like you! \nFrance (and Europe) with you! \nAmerican citizens need to realize the reality!

There's a trade deficit with Canada.....if you actually think US will be worse in the long run compared to Canada, you would not go on TV like this Trudeau. You would just tariff

I am not a Trudeau fan, and with good reason, BUT this is the first time in10 years that I have seen Justin speak so well, so powerfully, so clearly, without hesitation and with FACTS.\n\nThank you, Justin. You've impressed me today.

?????????????? PRESIDENT TRUDEAU??, YOU ?? ARE ? THE LEADER ?that ?Rump is the ??LOUSY STATE OF MIND✅️ ? MOST AMERICANS?? WITH THE WORLD???✅️ARE HONORE YOU??

Someone needs to stand up to F45, GET ON WITH IT MR TRUDEAU YOU ARE YOUNG AND VIVACIOUS

For all you Trump??haters- while God turned my attention to Trudeau - He turned my heart to Trump?? and He won with a landslide- Trudeau is Humpty- Dumpty and what a fall he will have!!!

You know the other person screwd up when you find yourself siding with Trudeau. Hopefully the people of the US and Canada can fix what Trump is breaking. ??

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

I just hope Trudeau knows that is was TRUMP that did this, NOT America!!! The vast majority of us stand with you and your country sir, and come 2029 this nonsense will be over

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

For the first time, I salute PM Justin Trudeau. You have shown courage and struck Trump head-on. Without any fear, you have taken a powerful and firm stance against his polices. You made it clear that we are not afraid of his bullying. We are ready to fight this war with strength, resilience, strategy, and unwavering determination. But his polices will only hurt both countries. Smarten up, Trump!!

Oh my goodness, Justin Castro Trudeau, you hypocrite you should be charged with Treason against Canadians. You are a dictator you self you evil evil, young man and someday God’s gonna expose you for your evil.

Go Trudeau!!!! Americans who did not vote for djt(50%) are with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's be clear Mr. Trudeau, with your pandering to the EU.. No one in your country is at risk. You're so cozy up there taking other countries and other people's money. Nobody in your country is at risk of harm, unless you want to try something? Come on Son! The U.S. is tired of War. We The People are tired of the killing, the killing you are so comfortable with. There is enough War in the world without you adding to it. Are we crystal clear now? We don't need you. And I am willing to go without a few things to prove it to you. I think a lot of Americans are now. We'll see. MAGA ??

I like the way Trudeau addressed this moron directly!!! This is how you deal with a bully!!

? I mean y you angry bro. Didn’t Trump say he was going to do this. I’m sure the tariffs with go away once you go away Trudeau

I have to agree. We should be very proud of Trudeau. So eloquently and articulately delivered with facts, no hesitation or backing down. Thank you, PM Trudeau we stand behind you as do most of the world. I have heard from so many friends/relatives in different parts of the world saying we should be proud. We stand strong. We are Canadian eh. ??

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Quit calling it a war Trudeau, they just showed us that they are taking care of themselves...trump will provide americans with what they need... You however have done nothing but take from us canadians..you made our country a drug pit..just drive thru any small to bc towns and look at how many more drug addicts are wandering the streets..10x more since your new drug laws...you give our money away, and how did you get so rich when you gov. Pay heck is only a specific amount?...you soend more canadian tax payers money on a two week vacation that what two average canadian house holds make in a year...rent is outrageous, inflation has put people in the poor house, and in the very end your ego is trying to look good just so you can go off into the rest of your life in your own delusion...go away man. Why dont you support us canadians by accepting the new financial hike and get us on to making momey in different ways...quit complaining and quit trying to get us into a war...when someone puts crap on me, i dont let them own me any further, i just cut them off and get on to living by rolling up my sleeves and doing the work... Trudeau, your just a politician who failed us, quit using the priminister position to make thinhs worse for canada...youve proven that you really dont care about canada, and that you have gotten rich by pocketing taz payers money...go away man...canadians, do fall into the spin doctor media war creating wimpering crap..lets get the right person in seat, manufacture what we need to, rebuild the military that we use to have, and get rid of the liberal party...truedau has done worse to us than usa has...

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

Mr. Trudeau said FO Trump, in the politest manner. I am small but I stand with you Canada, Mexico, Europe

You can say whatever you want but we know Trudeau is a patriot politician. Now it's not trump vs Trudeau anymore its trump vs Canada. we are with Trudeau. ??

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late

say whatever you want about Trudeau, but compare his speech with Trump's. Trudeau talks professionally like an actual leader should do. Trump whines and makes everything about himself like an old idiot rude drunk grandpa.\nand if Trudeau is bad, then what the F is Trump?!

Justin Trudeau is giving it to Trump with no chaser. He is standing up to this dictator and I love every word he said. You can't get any clearer than that!

Talking about a REAL (world) Leader! My personal message to Mr. Trudeau... 'Why you leave at this critical stage?' We need leaders like you to stand up to this type of Clowns who jerk themselves off for power and dollar-bills. And to the biggest Clown of this (still) free world, I would like to say: Mister Clown... as you say, America First.. Do yourself a favour and built a huge wall around your last and dying power soil.. and make sure this time you pay for it yourself, so you have your isolated soil called USA all for yourself and your regretting voters with your trade traffic. Make America great AND ISOLATED again... and make the US dollar a welcomed item at the toilet around the world!

PM Trudeau you are a leader, Canadian's please stand strong with your PM and don't let Putin/Trump tear your country apart. Our president is compromised, in any other time a president would have been brought up on treason/ traitor. It is beyond me why the Republicans are not standing up to him. My grandfather fought in WWll against Hilter in Africa, where are our heros now?

Good for you Justin Trudeau, your Father (a great Canadian), would be proud of you. Now, get together with the Premiers and map out how Canada can overcome this attack and come out stronger on the other side.

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

What s little weasel! He made this whole mess of Canada & now he wants to talk tough?? How dare you, yes YOU weasel followed Greta Thumberg like a little b that you are! Just go away you corrupt piece of huey, you've never done anything concrete in your life ,except bring Canada down, GO Trump, bring down this dictator, who's decided what we can watch, hear& see, & he's got the nerve to call out President Trump?? Thats too funny,& all those who stand with Ukraine, are you willing to send uour sons to war? Bet not,but you want someone else's child to go , imagine that !! Zelinsky is as corrupt at this idiot ( Trudeau, or Castro Jr.) But ya,go for it! Send YOUR child to fight this war,that will not ever end!!\nYa all make me sick!!

Trudeau… Finally I agree with you , we don’t back down from a fight

Since when is Trudeau interested in the welfare of Canadians.. After all the citizens are crippled by taxes, businesses closing, and Canada in the WORST state ever, America sees you as a joke, a pushover crippled by weird policies, a mismanaged oil rich country that can be bought with the flick of a finger, NOW you're suddenly concerned.. I call BULLSHIT

All the “I stand with Canada” clowns in the comments are either ignorant or just as weak as Trudeau. You’re standing with a leader who crippled his own economy, pushed insane carbon taxes, and sold out to China now crying because the U.S. won’t play along. News flash: Trudeau doesn’t care about you or Canada, he just needs a scapegoat for his failures. Standing with Canada? More like standing with a sinking ship while cheering on the captain who drilled the holes.

Good Trudeau you explains are very well\nDo think Trump he can rule over the world We don’t want to have a second Hitler We don’t need the Americans I am from Europe And we will survive with out Trump!!!!!!!!!
