A true statesman and leader. He would be welcome in Sweden.

To all moronic Americans look and learn - Trudeau is a true statesman. You have Trump and love Putin. We loathe all of you for allowing this idiot to get into power.

You may or may not like Trudeau but this was the true statesman speach. Listening to the orange bully with a kindergarten vocabulary last night....

Trudeau is a true statesman. He is eloquent and respectable. He tells the truth and I believe him.

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

This is a true statesman, Canada, you are so lucky to have such an articulate, sensible and coherent leader.

Trudeau has had his up and downs in Canadian politics over the years, with the ever present divide between Conservatives and Liberals here in Canada, but one thing is for sure, he's a true statesman, who speaks with wisdom from the heart, and for that is respected around the world. Trump would be smart to take notes from Trudeau, a man with considerably more skill, etiquette and experience in the field of political leadership, both hear at home, and on the world stage.

What a true Statesman!

A true statesman! Very eloquent, intelligent speaker

Pleased to see a TRUE statesman speak as opposed to the US gangster double act of Trump & Vance . America is loosing all its creditability worldwide .

A true statesman!!!

Now that's a leader.Well done sir spoken like a true statesman who is loyal to his country and allies.

The difference in tone contrasted against Cheeto Trump is respectful and measured. Like a true statesman

If nothing else Trudeau is a true statesman and clearly articulated fact checking very unlike the POTUS who ridicules this notion as unnecessary!

This is a true leader and statesman. Trump is dickhead

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

You don’t have to like Trudeau to see that that was a phenomenal speech. \n\nLiving in America nowadays, you forget what true statesman look and speak like.

We have just listened to a true statesman. Thank you, Mr Trudeau, just for being on the right spot at the right time.\n\nI hope that our new government in Germany will act as wise, polite and considerate as you seem to do it.

Spoken as a true statesman. Respect from Belgium !

A true statesman! How he was able to say that Trump is a smart man without breaking into hysterical laughter is pure masterclass!!! Give the man an Oscar!!!

I´m from Finland , and to you , Mr. Trudeau, i have to say: You are an true statesman. I hope that your clear and calm way to say how some things really are , reaches a certain house in u.s.a. All good to Canada & to You !!
