Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

My deepest and sincerest respect for Trudeau and Canada.?? will go out and buy all the possible maple syrup tomorrow. Keep strong and sending you strength from the Netherlands.

As much as this might hurt me as an American, Trudeau will always have my respect for standing firm against our enemies and calling out the harms that Trump is causing to America and the world. Trudeau speaks truth and that is admirable.

Canada deserves better. You arre not alone. European allies & the commonwealth stands with you. Respect to Trudeau to standing up to trump more countries now need to do the same. USA has fallen we need to be united against this emerging threat to peace, a worried Brit.

Canadians may be respectful people ! But , Trudeau is not respected ! Quite simple ! Well done Trump ! Get back to the early days Canada ! Get rid of Trudeau!

1:15 Respect we need more such leaders! Trudeau thank you for telling the truth. All the best from Austria❤.

Like the vast majority of Americans, may you know that my husband and I feel the same way as you, Prime Minister Trudeau! We are appalled and disgusted with the catastrophic damage that our government is causing to our dear allies, and it grieves us deeply that Putin is being treated with respect while we are literally stabbing our loyal, long-standing allies in the back. I have no words to convey our absolute horror in the face of such disrespectful, disgusting, and dangerous behavior! Our sincere apologies, and may God have mercy on all those souls who have already paid the highest price for these selfish, power - driven decisions!

It is heartening to hear Trudeau speak strongly with honesty, respect and dignity. How sad and unfortunate it is for the US an 18:04 d the world that the US has a lying narcisstic felon rapist in Trump, a man with no dignity or respect.

Mr. Trudeau mentions there's no drug problem, how can you say this. Fentanyl has been coming through your boarders. This Must stop. Your Ally who offers security for Canada should be respected . Our citizen's are dyeing. I stand with Our President and his Administration. Canada we love you , but enough is enough .

I used to drive Him around Toronto.\nYou Go PM. Justin Trudeau. Love and Respect.

? Californian here. Thank you, PM Trudeau, for your leadership and for speaking with respect and clear intentions to rebut what you were forced into. Listening to you speak makes things feel a little less scary. To hear another world leader speak with such normality, is reassuring that democracy still exists. The last decade has been hell on Americans. Some of us have been standing up, speaking up and never giving up for a decade now. Wee are tired but we can't stop. Thank you for being a sane voice during this insane nightmare. And thank you for embracing President Zelenskyy. He needed that multileader summit embrace after what Trump did to him ?????

Great Political! I have a lot of respect for Trudeau!

Trudeau is real leader! \nMuch respect from Germany. We are on Canada‘s side. I stopped buying stuff from America, no more CocaCola, Fast Food, Amazon and Netflix

Because Trudeau is nice, and tried to get along and show respect, as usual trump thought he saw weakness. That's always a mistake.

Trump is utter garbage. I respectfully disagree with PM Trudeau, Trump is not a smart guy, he is dumb shit.

Respect! I think Trudeau speaks plainly about the madness of the latest tariffs. I'm pleased that he speech was measured and polite. And how he spoke directly to people in the USA, dismissing the totally unjustifiable reasons Trump has made for implementing the tariffs.

The U.S. is no longer the sugar daddy of the world why don’t you understand! The disrespect to President Trump is ridiculous from this woke socialist idiot! This is about equality and showing the respect of the country that drives your economy and protects your borders! Trudeau like the American left has swore to the woke religion, and the destruction it has inflicted on our country especially the last four years is over! Start showing respect to your closest ally or find yourself the 51st state if you keep FAFO! MAGA/MURICA!❤

Much respect Trudeau.....coming from a U.S. citizen. Stand up to bullies from our country.

What an intelligent and pleasant Mr. Trudeau ❤️ With great respect and admiration from ??.

From Canada: Sorry but we did this to ourselves by not growing our economy as we could have done, by not expanding energy and trade, by being led by a non-leader who panders only to the east and disrespects the west, who spends money like it’s on fire. Trudeau could learn so much from Sen Robert Kennedy about spending money that isn’t his to spend… If eastern Canada would respect the wealth we have in the country, in the ground, we would not be in this position. Canada could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and Canadians could have a very high standard of living. Instead we are stagnant and woke, dying from terrible drug policies and woke law, and bursting with a terrible “look at me, look at how good I am” immigration policy. We have no investment or tourism in BC, no foreign buyers, almost no airbnb, no fruit, soon to be no wine, but at least we have free drugs and 2000 genders, right Provincial NPD? That will help the bank account. And we have no respect for Alberta’s riches that benefit EVERYONE. All the power is centralized in Quebec, with the Bloc not even a federal GD party but somehow allowed to be a federal party, and Ontario and Atlantic Canada just loving a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority, and don’t forget transfer payments. And we have got ourselves into this Liberal government purgatory (thank God the Federal NPD have been decimated over it…at least there is some justice), so that we write cheques to make us feel good and look good despite that we can’t afford it. And we prevent growth and trade to make ourselves feel good and look good even though we can’t afford it. And here we are now, broke a** with no prospects and no savings. Well done Canada and well done Capitano Trudeau.

Thankyou Justin Trudeau for speaking the truth in a respectful way. Something the American president and his administration and the Republican party does not do.

Canadians must be proud to have Trudeau, a guy with immense big balls. Not small fish caviar like in Donald Trump's sack.\nGreetings from Austria and respect for not let your country get bullied from the disgusting Trump buffoon.\nTrudeau is a hero!

Respect to Trudeau for standing up to bully. I kinda understand why he like Putin

You have my respect Mr. Trudeau. Greetings from Denmark ??

Not all of us Americans voted for that Idiot Trump. We respect a true leader in President Trudeau and the Canadian people.

Respect to Trudeau!

As a black female American we man, he has to do what he has to do and I applaud him for standing a a true leader. It’s going to be tough for us here, this government is selfish and this people voted him in now we all have to deal with this mess. I highly respect President Trudeau, a true leader

Love that Trudeau calls him Donald, not Mr.President. He doesn’t deserve the respect from Canada.

Canada l stand with you and that rest of the Democratic world. Unfortunately we have an idiot in chief who doesn't have a blanking clue on how to run a botega yet alone in the United States of America.\nTo yours truly the felon in chief your days are numbered the American people will make it a priority to remove you from the white house along with the Maga bootlickers that support your blank toosh . Trudeau Mad Respect to you a true leader in chief of the free world.

So much respect for Canada and Mr Trudeau. I am a US American, ashamed of our executive branch. I hope you stick it to us. Cut off your oil to the US. I think you'll find better partners elsewhere.

American here, Canadians are our neighbors and friends. It is understood that Trumps actions will hurt all of us. We know that Canada must take action. Prime Minister Trudeau is a wise leader. I respect his actions.

I was never a fan of Trudeau, but this was an exceptional speech, and I respect him for refusing to kowtow to Trump.

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

Since when is calling Trump Donald harsh? The rude president call him governor Trudeau! At least Prime Minister Trudeau was respectful!

Not the biggest fan of Trudeau but respect to him for holding his ground

Every time Trudeau says “your government” he should be saying “Trump”. Trump does not deserve the respect to be called President.

Congrats, PM Trudeau!\n\nKeep your stance firm, DO NOT BACK DOWN! Our bully, is just a puppet, being played by both Putin and the Rat.\n\nMany Americans appreciated, respect, and LOVE Canada/Canadians!

Mr Trudeau may I respectfully ask for safe harbour in your country please?

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

Oh, this is how President present and lead?? Trudeau presidential. He speaks clearly and respectfully.\n\n I'm jealous, Trump should learn from Trudeau.

It is not lost on me that Trudeau treats the American people with more compassion and respect than Trump ever has or ever will.

Proud & Respected Canada Leader with a class...Salute to Mr Trudeau

Respect, Monsieur Trudeau, enfin un politique qui parle juste, sans détour mais sans les excès qui caractérisent les discours délirants de l’agent du Kremlin qui occupe actuellement la Maison Blanche.\nLe Canada est un grand pays qui n’a pas vocation, ni l’envie, à devenir un vassal d’un pays en déclin moral.\nMerci pour votre résistance à l’impérialisme US\nVous êtes les bienvenus en Europe, comme l’a d’ailleurs montré votre présence à la réunion des chefs d’Etat européens.\nSoyez notre 28eme étoile !

American here and Trudeau earned my respect for this. Standing with Canada on this but we Americans need to fight back too!

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trump. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorably in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. Canadians do not respect or like him. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

Your own people don’t respect you Trudeau. What a joke

Dear Honorable Justin P. Trudeau, respectfully, you are correct. Please focus on wise actions. Leave the press to fish for any media on Donald. He uses ever second the camera is running to turn heads and make smoke where there is no fire.

IF, Trudeau is leaving which is something I heard, then this shows he needs to stay. This is truth and strength coming from him. Much respect to Canadians and this leader.??????

I stand with Canadian people as well but Trudeau is a pile of shit dictator and has absolutely no regard or respect for his nationnor anyone else's. He inky cares for his $20k lunch in his private jet flying to his penthouse suite in NYC to talk to other dictator tyrants from NY. Sorry Canada but yall been using us for way too long and we're tired of it.

Gonna miss Justin Trudeau - much respect.
