I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

Imagine a leader that assures the people the gov will do what is necessary to help there people instead of hurting them. ? That's a foreign concept in USA now.

Now that's a leader!

One great leader

Amazing job, presidente! This is a wonderful political leader ? ❤️ who cares for his country, not for his selfish and ambitious personal projects.

Israel says it will block Gaza humanitarian aid.\nAny western leader condemn this action by Israe !? ?

What your seeing is the rise of the new free world leader

For all the crap Canadians were talking about Trudeau, as a Canadian I’m so proud to have a leader like him for our country. And I think most Canadian’s have now changed their mind about him

Where has this guy been all along? Why does he choose to become the kind of leader we needed on the way out? I guess existential threats bring out the grit in people.

That's what a TRUE LEADER sounds like. Not the BAFOON we have in office who sounds like a 5th grader ( no disrespect to 5th graders).

Another true leader showing how sick, sad, and pathetic the Republican Party and American so-called 'conservatives' are. Tump is the worst president, maybe the worst national leader in modern history. Thank god other nations have not succumbed to the Putin loving sickness of the Republican Party.

I have no idea if Prime Minister Trudeau reads any of these comments or if his team does, but as an American, I am ashamed of our current government. We have a narcissist for a leader who is a bad businessman and a puppet of Putin. How refreshing to see a real LEADER who actually cares about his country and not himself. I support Canada wholeheartedly. I suspect many Americans will be hurt badly by these embargoes and (justified) retaliatory tariffs - but so be it.

Trudeau image as a leader was diminished until the tariff wars arrived. Guy looks more of a president than the orange guy.

Fantastic speech by a proper leader

he knows how to handles baby Dumpty- be strong , don't back down but always compliment the ego of the weak sissy wanna be King. This what leader sounds like - I don't know his politics but at least he is well spoken , intellginet and and not an idiot like Dumpty

Both countries annexed a tax of 25% on the citizens of both countries , lay-offs , higher interest & mass poverty lines .Typical both leaders , don't talk to each other .

Trudeau is a crown embedded autocrat and is not a leader with any merit at all. The Socialist radical leftist agenda for the last 9 years and a failure for most of that time in doing NOTHING!!!

I’m American and I wish we had a leader like Trudeau. To all the MAGA idiots that voted for Trump, thanks for ruining our country. It only took 6 weeks.

ah, if only the european leaders had the spine trudeau has...

canada i am so sorry for what the usa has done. trump is an angry demented old man. he bullies everyone including americans in office. he has the money of the drug addict elon behind him so that he can legally go after everyone. and god knows what trump owes putin. dont trust trump. i am thankful that leaders all over the world are standing up to trump, even if few american leaders can / will.

Yet the Liberals are gaining in the polls...This country is finished economically. Trudeau is a weak leader and I would prefer someone who isn't backed by Trudeau to lead the Liberals, nor Carney who refuses to outright criticize Trudeau.

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

As an American I am disgusted by the fascist felon in the white house. We decent Americans did not vote for the fascist and are doing all we can to resist. We are thankful for the world leaders standing up to this fascist felon.

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

Leaders like Trudeau gives me hope that the madness of Trump and his gang will not prevail...

Go Canada! Good job. Trump is an ass**le. I know most world leaders must believe this too but just had to say it myself - feel better now?

A few decent, brave and smart leaders are still left in this world. What a difference with Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Maduro, etc. this is a dark age for mankind

The USA prefers to act & think like a clueless inbred clown at the circus & our leaders tend to reflect that & take advantage of that going back as far as the Reagan era. The majority of Americans revel in their ignorance & malevolence while callings themselves Christians.

Refreshing to hear a leader speak in truth and facts. Thank you.????

He is always humble and polite leader ❤

Proud Canadian here. I made this country home 50years ago with $100 in my pocket. Loved it and happily made my own family here. We stand with our leaders on this. I for one understands hardships so no brainer at all. ????

How refreshing to listen to a leader who makes sense!

Wow, That’s truly a great leader for Canada! We envy them! And we wish we would have a leader like him!

This is how the leader of a Country should speak to people.From Ireland ??

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

All the leaders of the great old nations now speaking humble and intelligently to the world without even a sign of aggressivness. Please if you have any doubt about Trump being utterly unworthy just compare these speeches for 5 minutes. Trump is not a leader. He is not a politician. Get rid of him. Now. Or suffer the consequences.

God save us! Our people will be the collateral damage of our fool He has no value for our lives and those of our babiies, grandparents , disabled and suffering. We will miss our friends to the north and south of our nation. We will miss the respect of our Allies. Our leaders are replacing our Allies with our Enemies. We are aligned with evil leaders and shun democratic leaders around the world Shame on us !!

That is a leader right there. And he doesn't look like a fat tub of garbage either.

True leader!!!!

I wish we could have a leader at least half as respectable as Trudeau. Sure he isn’t perfect, but this is a breath of fresh air and we are only a month in…

Look---- it's a world leader. Maybe Donald Trump can learn something... except he wont

This is how a real leader speaks not the ? we have as president in the US

Great to hear a smart leader. Shame the US can’t manage to elect one

Trump is the aggressor… what do they expect leaders from the free world to do? Sit there and take it? Go Canada!

When you choose felony as a leader that’s what happens

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

No comparison between the two leaders. USA has a joke. So sad.

Leaders of the free World. Stand up and tell Agent Orange he should go to Vlad and lick his boots.

This is what a leader should sound like and look like.

I have heard and seen Canadians get upset with Trudeau but they should be proud of him. Trudeau is a gentleman very professional and he is actually sane. Trump has a lot of loose bolts up there. The worst thing a leader can do is, betray their allies. Trump is a traitor!
