Intelligence speaks two languages and make sense. Trump can't even speak English Bing Bing bong bong bing bong ??

This is how a leader of the country should speak. Why? Why? Why? do we have to have Trump. We look so stupid.

I love a country where people can speak two languages seamlessly. Trump ordered that the language of USA is English only! How small…

Pleased to see a TRUE statesman speak as opposed to the US gangster double act of Trump & Vance . America is loosing all its creditability worldwide .

As a Canadian for 45 years, we all know others write his speeches and this like many of his speeches sounds overly scripted. In this respect, I actually prefer Trump who has less filters when he speaks. Trump is clearly trying to save America from further drowing in debt by increasing government revenue while minimizing expenses which is commendable although I don't approve of all his tactics.

It's mind boggling how someone can hear Trudeau speak, and then hear Trump speak, and then claim that Trump is the better man who has the best interest of the people in mind.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

Beautiful he speaks two languages perfectly he should have told Trump where to go in French love Canada ?? ❤❤❤‼️? when we fight we win we will not lose to a dictator ‼️?? we are a proud country and we will protect our allies like we protected you in 9/11 . I was born in Quebec to a Canadian mother who spoke French and an English father proud of my heritage and my provinces ‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️??

i dont know about this canada prime minister is a corrupt guy or not but he speaking reality to trump and very intelligent explanation ??

I’m so glad, someone is speaking up, because America ?? is scary as hell! A bunch of followers, Trump been playing us since the first election ?️ it’s always been about Putin! ??‍♀️

This is the way a leader speaks,Trudeau is 1000x the man trump will ever be,trump isn't a man he's an abomination.

Thanks for your kind words. Trump does not speak for millions of us.

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?

The Trump regime just signed an English-only mandate. If Canada fails in this they won't even be allowed to speak French.

Trudeau speaks well for a guy that’s about to be voted out. Canada’s next leader will be conservative, and I bet he will work well with trump.

Let me understand this. Trump is pressuring Europe to help their neighbors like Ukraine but here in the US Trump is throwing Canada away. How does this make sense? Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth. I too stand with Canada

If you want to get through to Trump speak to Vladimir Putin.

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

tRump can barely speak ONE language; this great man speaks TWO fluently.

CNN - What kind of language does Donald Trump use when addressing elected representatives of the respected global community? He resorts to belittling, mocking, taunting, and even threatening individuals with alarming ease, seemingly without any sense of shame or restraint.\n\nPrime Minister Trudeau conducted himself as a gentleman, consistently speaking in a respectful and dignified manner. In contrast, Donald Trump often demonstrates a lack of morals, manners, etiquette, and ethical principles, which is truly shameful.

And to Justin Trudeau, speak to your own people. Maybe you need to hear what they feel. Trump is far more popular in America than you are in Canada.

Canada ?? I m proud to be Canadian. I've never been a fan of Justin, but today, he's speaking from the heart and for Canadians. This may be Trumps stupidest move and will hurt Canada as well as the US.

Ooooooooo. He's speaking directly to Trump. Woooooowwww.

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

Let's all start fresh NO MORE FOREIGN AID!! Done - Finished - we don't owe anything to any one and I don't need Trudeau speaking to me. He has a failing economy and it has been failing since he came in ~ now he wants to blame Trump! Everything here should be MADE IN AMERICA!!

Trump cant speak like this.. Trump IS idiot?

trudo does NOT speak for canadians. he has wrecked our country. we have suffered with him in power and now that he is leaving we get to suffer because of trump.......

I didn’t vote for Trump. I’m with our allies - ??!! I’m glad leaders are speaking up!

You shouldda covered him pendant qu'il parle français... can you imagine Trump speaking another language?? it'd mean he'd have to acknowledge that there are other cultures.

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

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Felon trump of corrupt usa CANNOT SPEAK INTELLIGENTLY COHERENTLY RESPECTFULLY like PM TRUDUE of CANADA . usa is GOING DOWN under felon trump ………..

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.

He is speaking to trump like a 5 year old! Hahaha that's how he has to do it lol.

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

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

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

Note that when he speaks directly to Trump he adapts the language to that of a dumb kid

Thank you, Canada! Maybe this will wake up some Trump voters and remind the GOP what is at stake (doubtful). \n\nEvery Canadian I have seen speaking about this are such powerful orators and are not f-ing around.

He is NOT PM. he resigned as the most incompetent PM Canada ever had. He destroyed the economy, brought millions of immigrants, raised taxes. Empty suit. ‏ definitely doesn’t speak for Canada. Hates trump. This why CNN loves him.

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

Trudeau .. thank you for having the courage to speak up when the gutless politicians of America, rape the people of their dollars and opportunities, ie. little hitler (trump) and little himmler(musk) the new age fascists of American Politics.

As an American, I'm with Canada and Ukraine. Trump does not speak for all of us.

Wow a leader that actually can speak the language as an adult with intelligence. Trump sounds so dumb compared. It’s up to the American people to show their government that they are on the wrong path. Do it now… we support Americans not their government. Go Canada.

It's refreshing to hear the Leader of a Country, speak clearly and honestly without unneccessary superlatives. Trump could learn alot from Mr Trudeau. God Bless Canada and God Help the United States of America!

this guy is a coward, calls Mr Trump stupid. Your dumb. Dont speak for us the people jackass

Thank you Minister Trudeau for speaking clearly with facts all the great work that Canada is doing and has done it for the well-being of all.Most importantly how peacefully Canada's government has worked with the US as an ally and on a smart way.Unfortunately Trump is destroying that peaceful relationship with Canada applying those ridiculous and absurd tariffs just for money because Trump is so greedy.This is a shame that affects both Canadians and Americans.I feel bad for our children growing up in this tense situation.

He only speaks of Trump like this coz he knows he’s on his way out. Kinda cowardly of him I’d say ….
