Canada......respect

As a citizen of the US, I don't want this either, and I respect your decision. Trump and his sycophants are insane and dangerous to the world. We will stop him.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

PM Trudeau has gained my respect. Way to go standing up to a unstable, orange hued, bully.

Leaders need to address each other with respect and avoid fighting,it ain't cool when we see these two biological brothers Canada and USA fighting in a trade war,instead of fighting they should calm down and negotiate.

So much respect for him and the people of Canada right now. I’m so embarrassed of our American president.

Hugely impressive, factual and genuinely heart touching. Wish Prime Ministers/ Presidents of the other countries were at least One Tenth of Trudeau’s capability. Respects to this great democracy !

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Only the American government is misbehaving towards the whole World. The moment other nations could survive without the US, then the Super-power status is dead for ever. The blessings in this is, other nations will learn to build inwardly to earn their respect in the future. Their economies will be better for it. Their citizen will drastically reduce migrations. And the US could take care of only his citizen and stop insulting others for their failures.

A very Weise and gentle president?? respect Justin❤

Awesome! I never been a great Trudeau fan, but what a speech!. My respects to all canadians and their President.

Huge respect for Trudeau, agree with him totally,

From Indiana, I did not vote for Trump or trade wars and completely regret Trump's incompetent handling of relations with allies Ukraine and Canada.\nI have so much respect for the leadership of Canada and Ukraine. May God help us.

Try and respect America

What a shame that we have more respect for other leaders than our own. Trump is the most hated man in the world, even by at least 1/2 of US citizens. He's made it impossible to get rid of Trump, Vance, Mike Johnson, and some Supreme Court justices. He's eliminated all options except...

Whatever Trudeau has or has not done, you have to respect this speech.

President chump is an ignorant pig, respect to Canada! do what you gotta do, if americans didn't want this then that orange stain of a president wouldn't have gotten elected, but all the orange stain minons voted for him, by choice.

Solidarity and Respect to Canada! ???

With all due respect, you lost me when you said that trump is a very smart guy (he's actually a moron).

Big BIG respect for Trudeau

As a Japanese objectively viewing, in everything, economy and security Canada relies on the US nevertheless Canada doesn't respect it, I understand why Trump is angry

Scotland here Well Said very respectful ❤

Sending my love and respect to my Canadian friends from Europe. Together we stand strong! ❤

A very respectful and reasonable response from Canada ??? watching in disbelief from across the pond ??

That speech makes me want my Blue state to join Canada as their newest province! Why can’t we have leaders like him who are articulate, respect facts and do rational actions? Oh, because 50% of the electorate in the US are uneducated morons.

What a difference crossing a border makes eh? On one side reasonable Canada, on the other an unhinged spray tan and his VP wreaking havoc globally for what seems like no reason but ideology. Respect Canada, shame on you America.

American liberals love and respect Canada and the EU more than their own country. That's why they have put us in so many one-sided relationships.

Lol Canada only exists because we subsidize you two hundred and fifty billion dollars a year of our taxes show so dam respect

He is laying it all out because Canada ?? is NOT foking around. Respect.

Being a Canadian, originally from South Asia (NEPAL), I would like to express my huge RESPECT to our honorable Prime Minister ! A political leader of a country should be like Mr. Trudeau!!!\nRespect ?and proud of you, Hon. PM !

Also from Germany, but residing in Ireland - This is with no doubt one of the smartest, crystal clear and informative speech I've ever heard in my life ! Respect Mr. Trudeau !!!

Thank you PM Trudeau. I understand and respect your response. ELBOWS UP!!!!!\n❤American for Canada!

❤ Thank you Mr Trudeau. Respect from Europa.

My respects to Canada from a fellow European.

This baffling behaviour by Trump and his administration is sinister. He is dismantling the NATO alliance which is the main defensive safeguard against a malevolent Putin regime. He focuses on Ukraine, a victim of naked aggression, as the party which needs to make concessions. No criticism is levelled at the Putin regime. Russia could not imagine behaviour more favourable to them .\nBut furthermore, Trump appears to be diminishing the USA in terms, not only of economic power, but also reputation, international respect, military status and World influence. \nOne wonders whether Trump is deliberately doing this as part of his allegiance to Putin? Is he in fact a Russian asset? He could not be more successful if her were so?

I love how it used to be “president trump” or “Mr president” but now it is “Donald”?? very subtle but very powerful. Show us no respect and expect none in return #canadastrong

We have the upmost respect for Canada from the United Kingdom

Just saw Trudeau's speech, that's how a world leader speaks, calm and respectful without disguising reality and claiming all the credit. \nThe republicans wish they had a leader like that

Great love and respect for Canada from South Africa ??

I like what Trump is doing, this is the wests chance to put separation between us and America, American corporations cannot treat people in Europe like they do in the US, Americans food is filled with rubbish banned in most of the west, respect to Americans but your corporations are terrible to people.

Respect and support for Canada from a citizen of the Netherlands.

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

Sorry Canada ??. We respect you Canada gogo

From a German once living a year in Canada: If you make a Canadian that angry you really messed it up. I couldn't imagine of any better ally to have. You deserve to be treated so much better and such behavior comes from a person shouting for more respect at others. All my love to your beautiful country.

Greatest respect. So sad to see the USA unraveling at warp speed and damaging us all. ❤??❤️?? all strength to Canada, Europe, Ukraine, we stand with you.????????

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!

From Ukraine with respect. A few decades ago our school hired a Canadian as a native speaker to teach us some spoken English. He was not very smart and made some grammar mistakes here and there. But what surprised me is how on his 1st day he tried to make a joke, smth. “We, Canadians, have nothing to apologize for, except for Celine Dion”. He startled to giggle, searching our faces for a sign of approval. There was none! We love Celine! To this day it astounds me how many Canadians badmouth their great singer or their own Prime minister. What is wrong with you? Like every Canadian I’ve met kept saying many unpleasant things of Trudeau. You should be proud of your prime minister the way you are proud to be Canadians and slow down on insulting him!

RESPECT MONSIEUR TRUDEAU!

Respect Canada ??

Much respect to you, Canada. Calling it out evenly and openly, and telling the truths that many Americans apparently need to hear. Much love from Oregon.
