Where are the failed @bbc.\n\nMaybe John Simpson, who many respected, but couldn't even be trusted to look after his own expenses, could advise.

As an American, sincerest apologies and much respect to Canada. Very inspiring words by Mr. Trudeau!

Well lefties are at work again, they know the tariffs are going to hurt them more. The other thing is respect. I hope this guy is voted out by his constituents

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

From Puerto Rico thank you for being the adult in the room and speaking with honesty and respect, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau and beautiful and strong Canada!

Respect to Canada from Ukraine ❤

Love and Respect to Canada from Germany???????

What a fantastic speech from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered with respect, with no name calling and lies.

Trudeau is a REAL leader not like this clown Trump who couldnt even run a McDonalds. Respect to Canada from europe???

Much respect for President Trudeau. So eloquent and well-spoken.

I think the only way we could have truly avoided this tariff war was to have gotten rid of this guy long ago. We had many chances. No one respects or trusts him. I put the blame on him & Jagmeet.

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

Respect to Canada from the UK stay strong ?

American here. A Never Trumper to the core. With sadness for the first time to be an American ,,, millions of us despise this and fought it and continue on doing so ,,but utmost respect to Canada # with a sad heart ❤?

We deeply respect and value our neighbors to the North and South. While we understand these tariffs will impact all consumers, as Americans, we acknowledge that Canada and Mexico's responses are a direct result of policy decisions beyond their control. My hope is that in a not so far off future, we can repair our everlasting relationships and continue to thrive united as partners.

I have so much respect for how the Canadians have stepped up for their democracy and their core values as a nation! They have done so with so much respect and passion, and it has given me hope that we will get through this. Much love from Scotland, we stand with you! ??????? ????

Respect for the manly response, Canada! ♥

Respect to Canada from Switzerland. Trump will go down as the president who destroyed America.

Props to Trudeau and all Canadians alike from Portugal, huge respect for you guys. Stand strong

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

As a french I say bravo and respect to Mr Trudeau and all the canadian people. \nStay strong !

Respect to Canada and Mexico greatest leaders !!!!!!!!!

Sir, with the upmost respect. Could you please not say Americans launched a trade war. I have no say, nor can I control what the idiots in the White House are doing. I am very very sorry for the situation and I am ashamed right now as an American.

Keep licking trump shoes and ask for respect ???

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

Wow, clear, concise, articulate respectful, factual as opposed to the insane ranting from the orange buffoon pretending to be a leader in the USA.

We need to be respectful to all countries...US needs to know that as well...work together.

My biggest respect for Trudeau.\nThe true Leader of the free World.

Fantastic speech, Mr. Trudeau! I am romanian, but you have all my respect!

I’ve never met one single Canadian that I didn’t find kind and respectful. Canada, I am embarrassed of our government’s actions and I stand with you!??

Much respect from Germany. ??

Respect! Trump can learn from the way he s acting

Harsh? The idiot made him governor. I think he is speaking very nice about Trump. Trump respects only bullies and people should talk to him accordingly, so he can understand.

Much respect for PM Trudeau

The world respects Canada and this Scot is disgusted with Mr Trump's antics.

Very respectful and presented in a professional way! That is how a person representing America should conduct themselves!

As a Finnish guy living in Germany I am so glad to hear PM Mr Trudeau´s speech. There are mighty many people around the world who respect and love each other, and try to keep to do so. Chapeau Canadians!! And, the EU is not to screw the US, it never was.

He have not education and have no respect for anyone in the world

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

Respect to Canada from ?? you will survive and thrive this bullying! ?

Trudeau govt. Is failed to maintain \nRelationship with USA .\nCanada need mature P.M.\nI respect bond between Us and Canada public.\nBut Trump is right he is now taking\nCare of his own country's economy. He is not allowing taxpayers money to E.U. & other country's.

Very proud of him, respects from belgium

Canada recognises its not the American people but the embarrassment in the white house thst is the problem. Respect and support from Australia ❤

Trump is a moron. I totally respect my Canadian friends.

From the U.S. and I support the Canadians. I respect how Trudeau speaks eloquently as a “grown-up” should, and the fortitude and strength he and all of Canada shows. I hope our 2 countries resolve this stupidity on trumps part. If not sooner than at least when his illegal reign is over (good riddance when he’s gone). ❤ you Canada!!!

After hearing his speech-I’d rather go live in Canada- he gave it to everyone straight up and came with respect and honesty like a representative should-trump should’ve took notes.

We respect you and love you Canucks. Not all of us voted for the orange clown.

Much respect his speech was CRYSTAL CLEAR no insults honesty..\nTrump clearly SOLD AMERICA TO RUSSIA the enemy.??we are doomed Satan please come get your child bc what trump is doing is evil..

I do believe i have family by blood in Canada, now I know i have family by moral all over Canada. This may hit you first, it will hit us too. May we stand united against this sorrow. With absolute respect from a scandinavian citizen

As an American, I always thought Justin was a respectable guy. At this point with republicans being pussies, I’d rather Canada just buy America.
