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.

Speaking the truth. I'ma nationalistic American and Canadian PM Trudeau is speaking the truth that we all wanna hear after what our own US president did to ruin America and make our lives worse. I fully support Canada now.

He speaks so eloquently , just wish he was our President.

Canada Prime Minister speaks two languages while the US president barely speaks English.

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

Our president can barely speak English and can't string together 2 thoughts without sounding like a fool. I'm very impressed with Trudeau.

If you are an American citizen and you are siding with Canada, you are a TRAITOR!!! As an American, a woman of African descent and an immigrant, I 100% understand why my President has taken the hard but necessary decisions that he took. It is time for other citizens of the world to realize that the USA is NOT HEAVEN, and America is NO SANTA CLAUS!!! This country has wayyyyy tooo many problems to continue with the foolish foreign and economic policies that we have pushed in the past...CNN it is about time you start speaking truth!!!

Compare these two Presidents: one is a real leader who can speak articulately and coherently, backed by facts, while the other is just a hillbilly/redneck. You know which one is the hillbilly. :)

Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

Hey bro, you're making way too much sense, and using big words. Our president is an insane idiot. You need to speak insane idiot to be heard.

This is how a leader speaks. This is how a leader conducts himself. This is everything our ignorant President is not. This is ridiculous! WTF is this going to prove? How many Americans are going to suffer cause the President is acting like a stubborn child? For those of you who voted for him, shame on you. You allowed this unqualified felon back in office and now we will all have to pay the price.

The difference between a lunatic and Trump is that within Trump must be at least 10 more other lunatics. Sad for the American people who will suffer from this trade war. And Mr Trudeau speaks like a respectfull president from a civilized country. How is it possible that lunatics can become a president from the USA?

Let the man speak for himself. Why am I listening to talking heads when a president is speaking?

I wish he were my president. As an American, I’m scared. Last time I felt like this was 9/11. It’s a different fear but it’s growing daily. The big orange one does nothing but instill fear and anger. I miss a president that speaks to the people, gives them hope and encouragement. Hurts my heart

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

How can he be President when he deals in facts, speaks directly and clearly and intelligently, doesn't say things just to rile up the world, and isn't interested in harming people? I don't get it...

Too bad Trudeau can’t come to America and be our president. Funny how easy it is to believe every word that he speaks. Not true for any American president. Except in the movies. Americans got what they voted for. Idiots

Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

Trump will be known the American president who conquered Canada and it the 51st state of USA \n\nBut my question is why did Trudeau stated speaking baby words when it was time to speak to Trump directly!?

I wouldn't expect less from Canada,, We have been getting all the Good News from Canada... Some things are getting Out of Hand from President Trump, and He is Speaking from the Responsability of a Man Protecting his Citizens and Economy.

I'll still buy your products! I wish we had a leader who could speak like an intelligent adult. Bravo, President Trudeau!

If only our president could speak so well and only use facts the fall of America start with Trump

Trudeau speaks so well, consciously explaining exactly what dumb Donald is doing . Our president cannot even put together a sentence, much less explain his erratic, idiotic policies.

I agree and I am American who did not vote for trump! He is speaking very intelligent unlike the Americans president sad!

Sure wish the US republicans president could speak intelligently like Trudeau. Donald is selling out the US!

A REAL President speaking

This how president should speak

Now that is how a real president speaks .

He 8s a good President. He speaks well..

Except he's not speaking directly to President Trump, because President Trump isn't there.\nHe saw what happened to Zelenski, and wants no part of sitting face to face with Trump & Vance. \nCanada's richest province is more poor than our poorest state (Alabama). \nThank Justin. Good luck with your retaliatory tarrifs though.

3:46 Wish Trudeau was our President. He has a plan and speaks clear and well spoken. We pray for you and your people. We have a man that doesn't really care about our country.

Speak your truth Mr. Prime Minister! Let the whole world hear it. Trump is NOT MY PRESIDENT. I have never and will never vote or support him.

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

This is how a president should speak to its citizens!

Wow, how quickly you all seem to forget. We have been paying them large amounts for years and we as Americans have been paying for it with our taxes. So because you listen to the media and like the way he speaks. It's okay! Let's not stand up for ourselves and our country and lets keep paying high taxes and make everyone in the world HAPPY! How about just like every other president we let him do his job and see where we end up at. Instead of fighting his every move because propaganda and uncertainty, let's give him a chance and see were things go. These other countries are just crying because they can no longer take advantage of America and take our money.

Trudeau speaks like a real president. As a German, I support the Canadians ?? ??

Trump compared to every last world leader isn’t even close. Imagine Trump sounding anything like this or speaking with such eloquence. Our President has to be the dumbest person on earth

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.

This IS how a president should speak and behave. Impressive speech! My utter respect to President Trudeau! ?

USA should be another Canidian province, not the other way around! ? That's how a president should speak, if I were american I would be soooo embarassed by the current presidency

This is how a president speaks.

One of the BEST SPEECHES we've seen by an American President in a loooong time. Wait, what do you mean he's Canada's Prime Minister? Good Lord, our U.S. leaders NEED TO take public speaking notes from Trudeau.?

Speaking like a true leader and President. America is a country going downhill ???

OK for you to sell your shit here but yet you don’t allow us to sell our stuff there piss on you. That’s my opinion. I love Canadians but it has to stop and it’s going to. He is not aligning his self with Russia that is a lie watch what you say\nAnd furthermore, you can speak to the American people all you want. We follow our president and don’t threaten us. You’re on your way out the door anyway we will not forget what you did to the truck driver you’re a political pig.\nyou need are 9:02 money we don’t need yours

This guy should be the president of the United States speaks well interprets well is not a shit stain

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.
