Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

The MAGA’s probably think Trudeau is a pu$$y for speaking coherently and with class and professionalism. Thanks Trump, don’t worry your loyal middle and lower class servants will foot the bill for you and call it greatness.

Amazing how so many people have so much to say, yet know so little about what they talk about. Thank GOD trump won the 2024 election.

Our government (United States) cares absolutely nothing about its people. Trump and his boot lickers care only about themselves. Thank you for being the voice of reason for us since we don't have a leader down here capable of respecting the people he supposedly serves.

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

As a german i can only say this: thank you for your clear words Trudeau you are now a Ehrenmann. Oh and to the GoP and the Trump loyalist: you are idiots.

Thank you! Trump is a jackass. Trudeau knows it!

Donald Trump, not American people, me, is a criminal and belongs in prison. Thank you for tackling this felon!

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

Canadians, thank you for taking this challenge. The only way the U.S. citizens will get through this, is for countries to stand up to Trump. We will suffer, too. Again, thank you.

As an American, living in Trump's America, I appreciate an articulate, sensible explanation. Additionally thank you for expressing more care & empathy for Americans than our own POTUS. I hope we will all make it through this uncertain & frightening time.

Figured you'd be on CNN we don't need anything from Canada you need us thank you Donald Trump now maybe our country will start making everything we need like it used to be

Its not the “United States”- its Trump doing it. And tit for tat - appropriate. Thank you.

As an American, thank you. Trump needs a taste of his own medicine The people don't want this and he does not represent us. Hopefully this will unite the few who have yet to see how damaging trump is to our country so we can be rid of him.

Thank you very much Donald Trump is a dictator he's with Putting He is not my president my God is my president Get ready USA you're in for a big one

So Canada stands with Child traffickers, rapists, murders and drug runners got it. And look at all the communist Americans that take that side. Thank God Trump Won ! Kick all Canadian businesses out of US. Stop all Aid and military funding shut Canada down. Deport all illegals to Canada.

Thanks so much for your advice Teacher Mr. Trudeau. When we Americans need some more lecturing about what you think is best for us, we'll be sure to ask. Obviously, you know what is expected of you regarding the border but haven't done it to the satisfaction of USA leadership. In the interim, do your best imitation of a liberal and cry us a river. And Justin, just so you now, our president's name is President Trump for you, not 'Donald'.

I hope y’all who voted for Trump are proud of yourselfs. And thank goodness I am not living in the USA.

As a Canadian, thank you all for your support. Honestly, it's not Trudeau or any other Canadian who can do something. It's you, the Americans. Put pressure on Trump

Thanks to all The Trump Vance Supporters i hope you’re happy

We FAFO thank you trump

THANK YOU TRUMP

Thank you Canada, as an American I am praying other countries will stand against trump. I would rather “hurt” because you are doing the right thing instead of hurting because of a evil administration

Trump is thanking Canada and Mexico for sending help to put out the California wild fires.

I speak as a Californian. I am so, so terribly sorry, Canada. I never voted for tRump, ever. I hate him in every way. This is all so heartbreaking. ?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing up for your entire country. Our president is destroying America and handing us over to Russia. ? I stand with Canafa, Ukraine, Mexico and democracies of the world.

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Thanks for all this wasteful nonsense Trump voters!

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You are the best! You should remain the PM of Canada to save it! Trump is said to be an asset of Russia. His actions prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there is credence to the accusations. Actions speak louder than words, they say!

Russia has successfully taken control over the USA thanks Mr. Trump

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

Thank you, Canada, \nIt's not the American people,, Only those in the WHITE HOUSE, who want a dictatorship.\nNot even our own Supreme Courts won't listen to the American people asking for a hearing against the attacks on the American people.\nTrump owns the Supreme Court The House of Representatives.,\nDonald Trump and Vance need to be taken out of the White House. Musk is Distroying the American People.\nImpeach Trump and Vance ?????

Thanks trump I was already struggling not I’m about to go broke

Get er done Trump. I want to thank Trump for the market discount holiday

Thank you all that elected president Trump… life will only get worst and we are only at week 6

Thanks for isolating our country to the rest of the world Trump. God didn’t work this fast.

Thank you President Trump. Standing up for US taxpayers.

Please dont apologize to the Americans for this. We should be the ones to apologize for trump. He is an embarrassment and a foolish bully. Thank you for all your help in the past. Hopefully this resolves itself in the future.

Thanks President Trump!\nIt’s about time! Sorry not sorry Canada. Keep your goods. We will buy American.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for exposing Trump for who he and the Republican Party are - greedy traitors!

Wow, so Trump was right. Thank you Canada. So why complaining ?

I'm Canadian. I couldn't buy any alcohol that was American to. Day thanks to Trump, you're ruining everything.
