I'm from the UK and I am very impressed with the Canadian Prime Minister's response, what a contrast from the felon in the White House. I have been researching which Canadian products are available here and will be switching to them and away from U.S products. And to ordinary Americans who are as disgusted by their leadership as so many of us around the world are, I hope you will be able to reclaim your country back from Trump and MAGA who are doing so much harm to you.

A very impressive and powerful delivery. \nOh, how we need God to help us!

I have to confess I don´t know much about the actual canadian politics. But this reaction of Mr. Trudreau was very impressive. As a german European I know we are together in this completely insane situation initalised by the pathetic performance of the Trump administration. But with Canada on our side, with a strong leader as Trudeau I´m optimistic that the european leaders will also unite and focus not on their differences but on the common interest to stop this destructive US Goverment from destroying the free western society.

For a moment I got the impression it was his dad speaking, Pierre…

Great speak impressive

I've never been so impressed with Trudeau. Thank you for representing us with strength and heart. Fuckin eh Mr Prime Minister

Join the EU, Canada! Impressive speech! Greetings from Cologne, Germany!

Impressive :)

Any chance the US can become the 11th province of Canada? So ashamed and embarrassed to be an American right now. So impressed with the dignity and clarity with which you spoke. In sharp contrast to the vague, sweeping and hostile lies of our “leader” every time he opens his mouth.

So for everyone fawning over Trudeau's ability to be articulate, that is impressive to you only because the U.S. has had a piece of steamed broccoli named Biden as a figure head for the last 4 years.\nI can't say I understand Trump's strategy with respect to Canada, but I absolutely know that Trump is no Socialist like Trudeau is. I am happy to wait and see how this shakes out because Trump has been right on so, so many things. No one is perfect, not Trump and not Trudeau. Maybe it's not about drugs. Maybe Canada could offer to go back to respecting individual liberties and free speech in return for the elimination of U.S. tariffs. Sounds like something Trump would agree to.

Impressive. I Love how the language changed when he was addressing Trump directly “deal” “you’re a very smart guy” “big things” “dumb thing”. Then back to speaking to the adults.

Trump and Vance are traitors and puppets of Putin. This disgraceful, unwarranted behavior is only happening to create the false impression of stopping illegal drugs entering the US, WHILE SYSTEMATICALLY LOOTING THE US TREASURY ON BEHALF OF THE OLIGARKS AND CORPORATE THIEVES WHO ARE BANKROLLING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

Great job Trudeau didnt think i could hate anybody more than Trump but JD Vance is now in the lead after friday. How did you find a more brainless, spineless peice of garbage than that born with silver spoon orange oerson with dementia. Impressive almost ...

So impressed with Trudeau naturally switching from speaking english to french. And to you donald, are you really smart to do the dumb thing?

From the UK. So impressed. Well done Canada!

As an American I am impressed by how Canadians stay strong against bullies. I love how the Prime Minister's speech. Say no or back down to bullies.

So impressed with Trudeau and Canada as a whole. This should make any self respecting American citizen feel embarrassed to compare their apology for a president to this man and his team. P.S. Note to Trudeau - Trump is NOT a very smart guy, don't do what the rest of the world is trying to do, flatter this susceptible idiot hoping to get him on side, it won't, it just makes him certain that he is so special and clever and makes his behaviour 100% worse.

So impressive to hear an intelligent leader\nUS is burnt toast

American here impressed by Canada's response! I didn't vote for the monster in the oval office. I wish our country would wake tf up.

totally impressed with Trudeau's talk.

I am impressed with Canada.

He (Trump) is a Putin puppet. He's trying to impress his Authoritarian idol. He's trying to turn the U.S.A. into another North Korea. A hermit country. Standing with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico ??.

As a Brit, your PM is very impressive.

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

I am not a Trudeau fan, and with good reason, BUT this is the first time in10 years that I have seen Justin speak so well, so powerfully, so clearly, without hesitation and with FACTS.\n\nThank you, Justin. You've impressed me today.

Great and very impressive speech. CHAPEAU!\nCanada is a great country and we in Europe are happy to see how crystal clearly Canada defines its strong position on the side of peace and friendship between the countries, and not war, murders and liars.

I'm impressed of Trudeau put his word said America your government done this to you

Two Brits here, my husband & I wish we had leadership like this at home! So impressed with Trudeau - calm, clear & logical! So disappointed he won't be at the helm for much longer - hope and pray the strong stance will be maintained in the weeks / months to come!

Very impressive

It doesn't even look like he's reading from a teleprompter or page. I'm impressed.

I never really heard this guy speak so much. I’m impressed. He puts trump to shame.

Impressive statement, PM Trudeau! I support Canada, even though Minnesota will be hurt a lot by tariffs. Dictator Trump’s actions are indefensible! I’ll be sorry to see world leader Trudeau no longer be Prime Minister. And now Trump wants to arrest college student protestors.

Canadian from Alberta here. I'm very impressed by our Prime Minister today. He was speaking intelligently, firm, and showed great leadership. Way to go Justin, you showed Trump how a person in a leadership role should conduct himself.

as an old Swissman. Impressive speech Mr.Trudeau! This is how a true leader speaks. Long live Canada!\nWhat is this orange madman doing with his great country, the USA? \nHow could anyone vote for such a man? You can see what he's doing. Starting an economic war for what?

Impressive, Mr. Trudeau! I wish we germans had a leading Politician, able to hold such a smart speech. Congratulation Canada!

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Wow Trudeau is a way better leader than I thought. I am impressed by his response to Donald Trump.

Impressive speech from Trudeau, just one thing I don't agree with him. He called Trump intelligent. I don't know any greater idiot in this World.

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

drama teacher masterclass very impressive and blistering

Damn, he is impressive! If I wasn’t an octogenarian, I would try to go after this guy!

From UK and am so impressed by the conviction of your government standing up for your country and against this abismal behaviour. Sympathy to the Americans who could see Trump for the villain that he is and are having to endure this. You deserve better. We all do. Standing with you, Canada, Ukraine, Europe and UK.

I’m still voting for Pierre at the end of the day. But I am impressed with this speech.

Well done, it's time, I am impressed

Trudeau is impressive. Dignified and intelligent. He is a stark contrast to the inarticulate mobster who runs the United States.

Wow. I am impressed. Spot on.

I'm really impress of what Trudeau speak as Trump from what I see he is in Putin's policy right now I can see that in the future Democracy world have to fight hard for Democracy worldwide

Liberal trash around the world praising worst pm in Canadian history, just because he can shit in their ears. Impressive.

As an American, I stand with Canada. What an impressive and absolutely compassionate speech.

I was under the impression this was about not just fentanyl, but unfair trade imbalances.
