Trudeau, this is a lame accusation simply run to justify all the following decisions that move US to a totalitarian regime. Trump could give a shit that people are dying from fentynal od

A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

Love the clear speech laying out the facts in a coherent way. Thank you Trudeau.. I hope this reaches the ears of the Trump supporters and finally sinks in

Trudeau, and Canada, can get it too. Canada exists at our want. Polite, limp wristed, weak manipulationg and dishonest politicians like Trudeau are about to get their come uppance. Friend? You are a liening pathetic operative for Globalist. LOOK AT YOUR OWN ECONOMY. LETS GO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trudeau prefer talking bad about trump meeting with ZELENSKYY'S that what appen thanks Ukraine

Justin Trudeau was wrong about one thing. Donald Trump is not a smart man.?

Attention Americans: Let's boycott Trump's speech (LIES) tonight! Turn off your TVs; don't listen! The evil tyrant lives for high ratings (such a leader)! Let's IGNORE him! Thank you (& TY P.M Trudeau for speaking w/candor & eloquence.)

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste time talking to Trump, no psychiatrist can help him or those who voted for him anymore.

Hey world when the it hits the fan . Don’t ask the USA for help. Just end this war doesn’t mean Trump is with Russia . Trudeau why are you all of a sudden being a leader. Your own country can’t stand you

Complimenti a Trudeau dall'Italia! Purtroppo in Europa servirebbe un leader cosí, con la capacitá di dire le cose in modo chiaro e diretto: Trump sta facendo cose stupide che danneggiano il commercio internazionale. Putin è un dittatore assassino.

Full support for people of Canada and Present Trudeau❤❤❤ Shame on trump and his puppets!!!

I hope Mr Trudeau stays on a little while longer. At least long enough to keep kicking trump in the ass.

I'm with Mr. Trudeau! Thank you good sir! Make Trump pay for his mistakes! The American people will soon tell Trump and his despicable minions to take a hike. Let's pray for their wisdom.

I hope Trump's gameplan isn't weakening Canada to aid an invasion.\n\nI think, for now, Trudeau needs to stay

Too bad he stepped down. Prime Minister Trudeau speaks and uses clear words. Trump got stuck with first-grade words. Immigration and all this gender craziness is how the demagogs won elections.

Trudeau has a big mouth and soon Trump is going to close it i hope Trump takes over Canada and puts Trudeau in prison or what ever he sees fit for Trudeau

Thank you PM Trudeau for referring to DJT by his first name and not President Trump. He doesn't deserve the latter title!! I respectfully stand with you and your Canadian citizens!! ???????????

....last 5 years (since plandemic) started is turbulent, interesting to watch all that, in Corona time i couldn't stand Trudeau and much appreciated Trump, now it's kinda opposite....??....well all that sounds pretty democracy right?....kinda like it....

trump hates him because his wife has the hots for Trudeau, Baron looks a lot like him

Trudeau, Obamas’s buddy… the left met with Zelinsky before the meeting with Trump . To me it looks as if the Democrats have gone global in attacking President Trump. Why??? They have lost all credibility, they need Flying Monkeys ??

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

This is an intelligent, reasonable, and articulate leader of his country. Here in the USA, we have an immature psychopathic narcissist at our leader. Thanks, Trudeau, for clarifying what Trump is doing to our country and to our closest friendliest ally, not to mention the damage he is doing to our international relations.

Thank you, Trudeau. All democracy leaders should stand up to communists Putin and Trump.

Zelensky, take a leaf out of Trudeau's book. Stop trying to appease Rump, a bloke who hates you. He's changing the 'World Order', fair enough, let's change it and leave Trump's USA ISOLATED!

It's not war, it's business. FAIR TRADE no matter who gives/takes. Americans responded with electing Trump. Trudeau shouldn't make it personal. ??‍?

Mr Trudeau, if you go on a trade war with the US you’re definitely gonna get it and lose. All you have to do is lower the tariffs you’re imposing on American goods so Trump won’t impose the same tariffs on you.

It is jarring seeing Trump speak, in comparison to Trudeau. You are reminded that this is how a national leader should sound like

What a difference. A fantastic articulate speech from Trudeau, and pathetic childish commentary from that buffoon Trump.

As a canadian, even though we don't like trump, im pretty sure we hate trudeau more, no mater what he says hes still a moron.

I wonder if Trump has inadvertently managed to resuscitate Trudeau’s political career.

'Credibility on the line' What credibility, you have none America - zero\n\nI have to say Trudeau is an excellent speaker, even a dumb wit like trump would have understood what was being said!\n\n\nI wonder how many Americans will be running to the Canadian boarder seeking asylum?!!

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We reasonable Americans appreciate our good neighbors in Canada. I'm willing to suffer in order to get rid of Trump.

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

Trump has always been jealous of Trudeau. Every time Melania is around Trudeau she lights up unlike when she’s around fatso Trump.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Proud of Trudeau, and your father would be proud. Canada will endure ?? Brothers and sisters of America, wake up! Trump is doing Putin’s dirty work!

Trudeau stop saying the American people Trump is not the democratic president stop saying American people. Just say Trump. Most Americans don't approve. Trump tariffs not the American tariffs. Not our government it's Trump.

The only thing trump hears in this is “you’re a very smart guy” \n Trumps people will cut this piece up and tell the world Trudeau gave a speech saying trump was smart and has done big things.

At this point I respect Trudeau more than Trump. Trump is a blatant liar!

Full props to Prime Minister Trudeau. A strong and decisive response was required and is exactly what’s needed to face trump down.

Trudeau told one atrocious lie and that was when he was addressing Trump and calling him a very smart man.

TRUDEAU ..... AND THEN THERES trump! WORLDS APART IN THEIR DELIVERY , COMMUNICATION, RESPECT AND RELATABILITY. TOTALLY OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM. \n\nRESPECT AND STRENGTH TO TRUDEAU IN YOUR FINAL DAYS AND TO CANADIANS IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES ?

AS an American, no one likes Trudeau. Trump is going to keep the pressure up until he is gone. I support that decision. Your border is not safe. Anyone can walk across easily. You were told to secure your border and there will be no tariff, you chose not to comply...face the consequences

thank you Trudeau for calling out Trump, America support Canda. Very good speech!

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Dont mess with the U S ,most Americans stand with president Trump. Kick rocks Trudeau

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

So eloquent and in 2 languages, no doubt. Now switch to Trump's speeches and enjoy the incompetence and crazy. Great speech Trudeau ?? \n SLAVA UKRAINI?? ♥️

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?
