You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

Hey Trump Dummies...this is what a Level-headed LEADER, that Cares for his country, looks like.

Why are Western leaders blind-sighted by what Trump is doing? For many years now the US is declining slowly, slowly and then suddenly under the Biden Administration....Pres Trump has no choice but to take drastic action to stop the collapse of the US Empire. What he is doing many may be against but one thing is for sure. Pres Trump is putting America first and this is what good leaders do...

? facts trump is a dangerous man putting America at risk Trump is not a leader he’s damn puppet Putin puppet

I wish Democratic leaders in America would speak to the public like this -- explain what Trump is doing and why it's harmful to America. Democrats keep saying they're not in power, but why don't they use the power of the microphone every single day. This was a powerful statement by Trudeau.

Dumb Trump. I regret voting him. He thinks he can scare away other country leaders by using tariff as strategy. What a fool! Is he not realizing it will back fire by causing these countries to do the same on US?

So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

We hear leaders of other countries who speak like Statesmen but Trump speaks like an idiot who is backed by clowns in his weird administration.

Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order By Ray Dalio. \nAlthough it may seem like Trump is hurting the economy at the time being. He is doing the US economy a long term favor. Nothing personal against our fellow Canadians. We love our allies. But the US needed a Leader like Trump after the Bummy Biden administration. God Bless EVERYONE reading this comment. We will all make it through this.

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

This is what happens when you have a compromised leader the way the U.S. does. He is doing Putin's bidding because Putin owns him. Putin has Trump destroying relationships with neighbors, destroying relationships with NATO, and destroying the very government he works for. The Russians couldn't do better if a KGB agent infiltrated the White House. Then again maybe one did.

Trump Musks poor pro workers leader and speaker

American here. I am angry this is what our leaders are doing and that this is the reality I keep waking up in. I don't agree with what Trump is doing and I stand with our allies, for democracy, and collaboration.

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.

You know Trump is beyond horrible when Trudeau is the preferred leader. Geezus, how low can the bar go. Trudeau, Trump is not smart - quit saying that. I realize you do it solely to appease him and to appeal to his fragile ego but quit it. Trump is many things - a racist, a rapist, a pedophile, a conman, a grifter, a criminal - he is not smart. Just check his records from Wharton - oh right you can't. He has threatened to sue if they ever released them. He has redused to take an IQ test which every other President has done. He knows he's not smart.

I'm no American neither Canadian but if you want to fix the rift go meet trump and tell him you assigned part of your defence budget in manning the border to counter this fentanyl issue.\nThen again the fentanyl might be an excuse but I would do it still had I been Canadian leader

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

Talks tough in public and agrees to all Trump demands in private. \n\nSome of these Leaders aren't to be trusted.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

Love Canadians leader. He’s awesome! Stands up to that Bas-ard trump.

An ideal, intelligent and well spoken leader that doesn't talk out his ASS like Trump and his MAGATS, so desperately the kind of leadership the United States needs.

Sounds like a leader of a civilized country. not some buffoon like Trump.

Lol the coherent leader that doesn’t allow citizens to access to their own private bank accounts! He is as every leftist full of BS ! Hispanics for Trump!!!

i am surprised to see so many canadian idiots still endorsing this clown. Trump imposes tariff today for a reason -- this clown simply has inherently different philosophy and that is the reason Canada is punished today. Set aside right or wrong from the US side, a truly responsible leader should mitigate damage instead of soliciting them, and seek ways out instead of putting oil on fire.

Intelligence, wisdom, patriotism…why can’t US have a leader like Trudeau. (But Trump is NOT a smart man. That comment was meant to praise the boy.) Go, Canada!

Justin is.gonna be gone soon. And Trump is going to wait. And the next leader of Canada will be an ally of Trump

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

We here in Detroit love Canada. We are ashamed of our president and his buddies, Putin and Musk. And we are so jealous of the Canadian leaders who actually speak like intelligent people and tell the truth. And why is Trump trying to blame our neighbors for our own citizens' drug abuse? Americans created the drug cartels, gave them all the money and all that power. .

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

It looks like the best thing Trudeau could do is tell the world how bad he is got beat by President Donald Trump. A true leader would not shocase his defeat to the world, he would work harder until he triumphs; none of which is somthing that Trudea can do. Sad!

Trump is not my president. He will ruin this country.This is a true leader , has the facts!

The only thing trump is succeeding at is making other world leaders look good

I miss having an intelligent, eloquent, and empathetic leader. I am so ashamed of Trailer Park Trump.

Never mind tariffs on energy - wait’ll Doug Ford flips the electricity switch. And Justin doesn’t really think your orange-hued leader is smart - quite the opposite. He’s just kissing trump’s a$$ because that’s what trump responds to …. because he’s really, really stupid. Something that Putin and Xi have always known.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

Its unfortunate when you keep hearing smart, thoughtful, well spoken, empathetic world leaders....and not once are one of those world leaders Your leader who just got into office....Trump is a failure in every way possible and hopefully all that McDonalds catches up with him and he will fail at being alive too

We believe Canadian leaders like Mr. Trudeau. As Americans,we have been abused for years by Trump,who is his own kind of terrorist, using deceit,treachery and cruelty. Millions of us are resisting,protesting and praying to restore a place among our allies in other countries and in the United States.

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

We agree sir. We apologize for our horrible leader Trump. We are doing our best to get rid of him.

That was a real man and loving ❤️ leader l can respect ??. Inversely, that in the US, trump, is a dump, literally garbage ?.

trump is not world leader he is like a greedy small country politics

Friends dont let illegal immigrants carry deadly drugs in to there so called friends home. We dont need friends, like that! We voted for strong leader! And Trump is our President Elect!

Wow Trudeau is amazing!!! He's so much smarter than Trump! What an amazing leader!!!

Our PM Trudeau is the best leader! Clearly Trump do not want to partner up with his neighbourhood. He's dump and stupid to be the president.

Make America Canada. We don’t want Trump as a leader.
