Justin, I thought you already resigned? Why you still speaking? But anyway, good luck to you. What Pres Trump request is not a rocket science. Well, you tariffs USA ?? we just reciprocate the deal.

This is how a true leader speaks to his countrymen and the world, he doesn't need a half dozen bully boys hovering over him and abusing the allies they're pushing away from their country.

I wish they would not say “America did..” but instead just say Trump. He DOES NOT speak for us.

Canadá is my favorite neighbor and I hope that this Republican caused ass kissing of Putin gets resolved soon! What our leaders have done to our great neighbors is sickening ! This is all done to make the Rich Richer and to Hell with those in need!\n Not One Republican will speak up! Then the sad,sad thing they did to a country lastly looking for help against Putin!\n They submarines him in a setup, all preset, and this man more of a man Than any Republican will ever be VOLADAMER ZELENSKY HE IS A REAL HERO Trump has to go!

Wow! A True leader that speaks Truth!!! I'm American & I stand with Canada, Mexico & Europe, as well as with Ukraine. It is past time for our military to go rogue & remove this Cabal that is not only destroying our democracy but the world.

This is scaring me a bit. I’ve never heard trudeau speak so fluently before. Makes me think some shit is seriously about to go down

Trump speaks two languages. Dumb and Dumber!\nThank you Canada! Many of us stand with you. Hoping we can remove Trump soon and get back to fair trading with our great neighbors!

He’s gracious to speak of “they” the government of the US when in reality, MAGA and the other ignorant, uninformed voters put Trump and his lackey’s in leadership positions.

Trudeau is a liar and does not speak for most Canadians, he has porogued our parliament to prevent an election and have a new government in place to deal with tariffs. Trumph is not our enemy the liberals have sunk our economy the last 9 years. On April 1st we have a government imposed tarriff called a carbon tax of 18 percent which will hurt Canadians even more.

From California: \nHis talk to Trump was like a father speaking to a baby ??? ??❤️\n1000% tariffs on Teslas and Kentucky please!

14:19 we can hear him, he speaks English

And now Frumpenstein will speak to Congress and lie to the American people over and over again trying to justify his actions. Any rational thinking person will know the truth.

YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR US! TRAITOR!

Why can’t our US president speak like this?! Didn’t hear one validating self praise for doing something or name calling.

I don't like Trudeau much but he can speak like a politician and what he says sounds like common sense. And then we got Trump, a six year old angry baby elephant and his sidekick JD Robin, the couch lover and ass licker, scamming and bullying basically everyone except Putler. Talk about a pathetic narcissist psychopath, and the hillbillies who voted for him should go join Russia on the frontline. I know they're too fat and they would shoot in the wrong direction but the Russians are on the same level

That loser does not speak for Canadians. That spoiled brat has never paid a bill in his life.

Shut up CNN. Let a real president (Prime Minister) speak. Your commentary is insignificant and irrelevant.\n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau.\n\n- An ashamed US citizen

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

I have been to Canada quite a few times, they are a lovely people living in a beautiful country. So lovely to hear a man speaking sense. Well done.❤

It gets real when leaders start speaking out. We Americans are so misinformed as a whole these days. This has to speak to something! WAKE up MAGA, we need our country sane not separated. On the big stage we don’t look good as Americans. We’re too busy fighting each other.

Im canadian and Trudeau is a looser that doesn't speak for me\n \nThank you trump for showing canadians how weak our liberal progessive politicians have made our country

That's how a statesman speaks—Trump, on the other hand, talks like a sulky, spoiled child who doesn't get his ice cream.

Thank you Prime Minister for speaking the truth and speaking directly to American citizens. Many of us in America continue to support our friends and allies and Canada is certainly our strongest. The biggest problem with Trump is he keeps moving the goal posts. His trade war will weaken both countries.

it must be nice to have an elected leader who can speak more eloquently than an angry 8 year old.

This guy is an idiot and I’m sorry Canada that you have them as your Prime Minister say what you want about Trump. This guy is definitely a disgrace with no backbone of his own. He just looks like a sad, pathetic man. Why would you want him running your country he looks weak. He speaks weak. All he’s gonna do is hurt your country.

“Alright, now that he’s speaking French and none of us speak a second language, let’s start talking on top of him.” Wtf.

From the Netherlands we thank you for your speech, wisdom and civilized way your PM speaks the truth about the whole situation due to the stupid fools in the White House

Mr. Trudeau, please speak directly to the shitheads who voted for him.

Thankyou Justin Trudeau for speaking the truth in a respectful way. Something the American president and his administration and the Republican party does not do.

hey why cant our politician speak properly like this guy?

Governer Trudeo speaks

This is what a real leader and a real man looks and speaks like

why is he so performative? Just speak and stop trying to win an oscar

Trudeau is intelligent and speaks precise and clear, Trumps however is a dumb arse bully.

Thank you Justin for speaking out for us Canadians!

He is speaking to Trump and everyone who voted for that hot mess…. ??‍♀️

I listen right up to the point that the commentators decide they can't shut up and let Trudeau speak for himself. CNN....shut the fck up!!!

Fentanyl..... This lady can't speak

Thank you for speaking truth Trudeau. This horrible behavior from the Trump administration does not represent the majority of us. \nIn 43 days. The America we've all known, is crumbling. And may become ash.

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

Trudeau speaks the truth!!! I love my Canadian friends and neighbors!!! \nWe’re in a dictatorship

Elon Musk and his puppet, Donald, can learn to speak eloquently like Mr. Trudeau.

Getting tired of Trudeau and Trump speaking for both countries and the citizens of both countries.\nWhile World leaders fight for power the ordinary citizens of both countries suffer the consequences of their actions.\nIf Trudeau really cared about Canadians he could start by eliminating the Carbon Tax.

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

This man announced his resignation in almost 2 months ago, then prorogued parliament, then backed the other WEF globalist dude immediately available even though never once elected to public office, and is now speaking on behalf of a country he has never really supported at all.\nHe reads a good speech, that was written by a speech writer, but his past decade of actions haven't been pro Canadian.\nCanada will be fine. With or without Trudeau, Trump or any other narcissistic politician that loves the sound of their own voice.

This is a leader speaking: informed, lucid and logical. If only the US could have such leadership.

Under normal circumstances I would be the last person to support our Liberal party; especially Trudeau. His past record speaks for itself. However, his talk today to the American people and Trump actually made me feel proud to be a Canadian. It was the harshest language I have heard him use towards Trump especially after enduring weeks of degrading talk from Trump in relation to calling Trudeau a governor. I hope that the Liberals follow through with protecting Canadians.

Thank you, Trudeau, for speaking truth, unlike the circus ? ? clown ruining our country.

Like Trudeau, perhaps Trump will impress the world (after all he is a genius you know) by speaking in French and Spanish BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH.

If he speak like this to trump in his face, he will be the 2nd leader to get kicked out of the white house ????.
