That is how a leader speaks. Forgot what that sounds like

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

Thank you for speaking like a real leader, you give us hope.

Wow. What a speech! He is stating facts and is open to cooperation and some people still believe the Orange Man in the White House who is speaking like a 9 year old to his class mates and is spreading OBVIOUS lies all the time is the best leader ever.

Why can Trump cannot speak like a normal person like this guy Mr. Trump is always angry and hostile?

Look at the clown speaking like a muppet from a script thinking he's some kind of intellectual. This is literally the guy behind him : ??\nLMAO ...???

A true leader speaking ‼️ wish we had a leader like this

From the EU, such a great speak. The world needs more politicans like him.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

He speaks so clear and very intelligent. I wish our president is like you.

Love how he switched his tone like speaking to a small child when addressing Donald

The fact the Canadian government knew it was coming and never went back to work for Canadians shows you how horrible the Canadian gov is. Now was the time to redeem a slice of integrity from our prime minister and he coward these last couple months, like he cowered to speak to truck drivers. What a joke he is

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Spoken like a true leader of a country. One who speaks of allies and cooperation in an international environment. ??

This is what a leader looks like! No teleprompter, just speaking as a leader.

Now that is what a President should look like with no puppet's jump up and down each time he speaks. Well said Sir from Oz.

This is the way how president should speak... But No, Donald The Golden Shower Trump speaks and articulalates like a child.

This is how a President should present their country and people when speaking. What I don’t get is someone likes to point fingers at other countries for the “drug problem “ in America however no fingers are being pointed at us for all the drugs being made in America. Crack down on the ones who are making it in the USA instead of a slap on the hand.

It is really pretty normal for most of europeans to speak at least 3 langauges in mi case I speak and understand almost everything in english, french, portuguese, italian, spanish and a lot of german.\nTrump is really an idiot and ignorant because he just speak english and horrible!!\nHe sounds like a drunk person.

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.

Why has it taken until today for Justin Trudeau to talk like a man (like a Prime Minister); to speak like politics was not just about the liberals, but actually about our country and the United States.

Canada can suck it. This isn't a trade war, this is America being done with catering to everyone. If it's a trade war it's only because of how those like Canada are taking it. We honestly don't need anything from Canada. We can do it ourselves, as we've done before.\nHow come it took this happening for Canada to finally speak out against several drug trafficking groups as the sick and twisted groups poisoning people on both sides of the border? Why couldn't you say that before?

Trudeau should be the president for US.\nHe speaks with so well from his heart. \nNot like the arrogant fellow

I am so proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up and speaking up like many of us here wish our president could and would

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.

Notice how he slowed his speech and broke it down in small words, “big things,” “smart guy” when speaking directly to Trump? It’s like watching another adult explain things to a child and it’s so embarrassing but also so necessary.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

As an American, the past 8 years have made me forget what its like to hear a world leader speak coherently and without lying.

Why is it that CNN insists on cutting the audio off while Trudeau is speaking? We would like to hear the questions he is asked and his responses, not the opinions of their staff. They can easily share their opinions afterwards, when we can easily switch channels.

Your own citizens are booting u out of office for catching you being a racist…you yourself said u were stepping down…SOUNDS like you need to mind your own buisness and quit speaking to us…we are aware of our Government…we VOTED for him and highly approve what decisions he makes!!!

Canada president justin trudeau speaks facts not like the president of the United States Lard ASS

The first time ever I feel Justin Trudeau speaks like our Canadian prime minister.

Wow an eloquent leader speaking the truth. Oh imagine if we had a leader like this. Canada, please forgive the US for the crap storm we created.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

We need more politicians speaking up like him

If only Modi had balls to speak like this with trump.

No need to speak and dont speak with person which doesnt like you.. Canada is powerful, im sure theyll survive.

Why can’t US president speak like Trudeau.. intelligent

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. .

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Everyone trynna make Putin look like the bad guy, if you really look into the reason Russia invaded Ukraine u will understand look at Robert f Kennedy video he speaks the truth, Ukraine was killing Russian speaking people from Ukraine because they banned that language he invaded for many different reasons but you people don’t do your research u guys are blindsided lol

Trump speak just like a third grader , bullying and disgraceful. But I blame them idiots that voted for him back in the office. They will be suffering the pain that he caused .\nCanada supposed to be our friend, our ally why He started the trade war with ?

Even my friends won't speak to me like that. Money makes people angry.

He is so right. Glad you speak the truth. It’s so sad America has turned out to be like this. It’s disappointing. Praying for America & the innocent people.

I miss leaders that speak like this. Haven’t seen this type of boldness in so long.

everyone from america, saying you wish you had a president who can speak like this, lol yall voted biden in How'd that work? please move to canada

I loved this! Way to go! This is how President should speak. I do like that he called him Donald. That is going to poke the orange bear, but i loved it!

Don't lecture us American' s on a damn thing! U are damn clown & don't speak with such an unworthy sense of self. Anyone who would listen this ignorant fool & worse take anything he says seriously are as stupid as he is. And all u buffoons spewing remedial like this idiot is even pimple on trumps ass! What a embarrassing weak coward! And watch ur damn tome boy when u speak of our president like u are somehow all sudden some tough guy or in his league! Smfh

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.
