That's a real speech. Not like the trumps erratic ramblings. Not filled with lies but with facts.

Never been so embarrassed to be American. Thank you for calmly speaking out, using intelligent words and phrasing, stating FACTS, speaking Truth and not spewing any form of hate!!!! Canadians have every right to beam with Pride after this speech!

Trump's tariffs justification claiming fentanyl is like the Bush administration justification of war for weapons of mass destruction. Republican Playbook to fool the unthinking masses. If it works keep using it. We'll find the truth a decade later after a fact finding commission like the Iraq weapons of mass destruction.

Trump's goal is to destroy every single economic and military alliance that the U.S. and free world now enjoy. He has been a russian agent since his 1987 trip to Moscow. His loans through Deutsche bank were guaranteed by putin controlled russian state banks. So,, Deutsche had zero risk on the Deutsche bank loans. So the loans were in fact a payday from putin to trump as soon as trump defaulted on the loans.

No chest thumping! Just facts ! I love Canada ??, I live in the USA but I’m embarrassed by our leader .

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

I wouldn't say that Trump is a smart guy; it's the fact that he's a grandiose malignant narcissist that got him where he is.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

I don't think Trudeau was harsh at all. He simply stated some facts in a neutral way. Not berating or humiliating anyone. And few people seem to realize that mass fentanyl addiction is a US problem.

Trump should thank his lucky stars that Justin is not like his dad who was one of Canada's greatest PM's & he did not take in BS. from anyone in fact if Justin was like his dad the bleep button would get worn out & in person the secret service would half to pull them a part because there would be fight .

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

Donald Trump is not listening. In fact Donald Trump is himself quite greedy and his government is an Authoritarian regime or an oligarchy. please understand he , Donald Trump is now evil in his decisions world wide.

As a collective and to take a lead from a dignified president that this is how he should be confronted with his insanity and intimidation\nIf enough leaders take a firm stand, point out the facts, and expose him for his tsunami of outright lies, he will crumble, bullies and weak people who hide behind a facade of toughness always do \nWell done, sir, a great, balanced, and well delivered speech and a breath of fresh air to hear coherence and intelligence

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

Live with the fact white American, you elected a white racist fool as president...because of your hatred

I would have been fine with the fact that he could have just came out and said hey listen stupid Americans you elected somebody who's going to ruin your f****** country and you need to wake up!

What would be good is to also explain factually to what Trump says the negative trade amount is to what it actually is. Need the facts shown.

As an American I appreciate how Canada prove their case with facts and not just opinions . Canada is completely right with all they said !!!!!!!

The deranged scumbag in The White House doesn't deal in facts. He's a Putin-loving, deluded spoiled brat who loves to bully and watch others suffer, even our own citizens.

I wish we had an honorable and honest president that cared about his people the way this man has done. \nI still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the Felon and his MAGA subjects in Congress have aligned the U.S. with Putin and Russia while stabbing our allies in the back.

Trudeau told 1 lie , he called trump smart , he is in fact as dumb as dog shit

Trudeau coming with receipts! Tell them! Facts!!!!

USA is an ally of Putin now ?, thats a fact.

Wow - what a speech.\nNever heard it before in such a manner from a politican.\nI have to say this as a german.\nWish we had in germany someone who speaks clear facts and talks directly to the people.\nAdmiring that he also speaks directly to Trump - in clear words.\nMuch respect to Canada.\nStanding with you ❤️.\n\nHopefully wars will end immediately.\nPeace worldwide.

Trudeau is just as much an asshole as Trump but the man is speaking facts here.

First time this guy has jjsg stated facts and nothing else.. took 10 years but proud of you for Justine. All jokes aside, I’m glad he isn’t rolling over

Compare the quality of the American political administration and those of Canada and Europe. On one hand you have blaming sleepy Joe, rambling lies, claims of greatness and demeaning allies and on the other coherent fact based arguments. \n\nAmerica, Trump is the kiss of death for your country. You need to get him out of office, along with many of the surrounding sycophants.

this bloke is a fool , the woke nonsense and his stand with EU in conflict with russia is foolish at best . people are very emotional in their comments , take all that away and look at the facts leading up to all this , why trump was voted in , all the government waste they are uncovering , the social engineering under the dems through USAID , i stand with trump and what he is trying to undo.

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

Potus is dragging this country down…. all he cares about is what he can do for himself and his billionaire friends. He is ignorant of the fact that Tariffs will affect the tax payers and he doesn’t care. He’s deceptive and consistently lies about everything.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

Love the clear speech laying out the facts in a coherent way. Thank you Trudeau.. I hope this reaches the ears of the Trump supporters and finally sinks in

Uhhh Orange Man gon' be fuming about someone calling him out, on the global stage, with facts AND basically calling (and showing) him DUMB with such a class in front of the world.\nWell Done!! That's how you handle bullies.

Calm, well delivered, and backed by facts. What a contrast with the orange man!

I am put off (in fact, who wouldn't be?) by this pretentious voted-out leader whose self-satisfied, affected manner betrays the unwholesome values he embraces. Having irreparably damaged his homeland, he now seeks to protend his reign of destructive liberalism. Be gone with you, Trudeau!

Tariffs, customs - This is not a trade war, but honest business. And security and order in your own country are something else. He turned the cat over with its tail. He manipulates facts.

Just the fact that the guy speaks two languages fluently throws the orange guy to the floor and mop it with him. The United States president is such a despicable human being! No wonder his government is full of absolute trash.

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Direct, facts and without shouting or need to repeat nonsense words

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

It's ok for other countries to stand up for themselves but obviously its not ok for the United States to stand up themselves. The fact is that these countries have been taking advantage of the United States for so long that they feel entitled and are upset that our president is putting America first

Trudeau's days are numbered. That's a fact.

The American people don't want it either, the current admin is not OUR gov't. I can not criticize your reactions. As a matter of fact, I find them completely reasonable.

He is an intelligent politician who speaks the facts and is likeable at the same time!

Facts, truths, actual statistics that he didn’t just pull out of the air…can Mr. Trudeau come be our president? What a fantastic, bold speech!\nStanding by you, Canada!! ? ?? Thank you for standing up and saying NO!

This is how a leader speaks but donald and his followers do not see that. They do not understand facts and honesty, only the alternative facts their leader is feeding them. Blind with their eyes wide open.

Love his speech, but tbh facts don't bother a Trump.. idiots are not open to arguments and facts its just about feelings\n\nNgl, if the US don't want Canadas resources, here in Europe we would like to buy it ?

We no longer share the same enemies. In fact America you have become that which you once abhorred.

It's not about fentenyl, it's the fact that Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state so he can have total control like he does with us Americans, IMO.
