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 ‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️??

Trudeau's French is very good

I don't pretend to be polite. But im french canadian so thats canadian whit a twist.

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

Look here, Trudeau, the scholar, speaking 2 languages. And isn't that French beautiful?

Ashamed American- French-Portuguese bisexual woman here.\n\nThank you for being an amazing leader. Please get me the fuck out of here. I'm honestly scared as fuck and trying to get my French Citizenship.\n\nI'm so fuxking angry, every single day. For myself, my friends, my colleagues, and immigrants.

I'm with Canada. I am not pleased how CNN presented this speech however. They should have let the French speech play out with interpretation as Trudeau is not repeating what he already said in English and he provided more information. Also CNN keeps interrupting the question/answer portion of the speech. I want this news from the horse's mouth, not the news person's interpretation or regurgitation of what was said. I went to another source to see the complete speech instead of staying on this channel. I recommend that other viewers do the same if you want complete information.

I stand with Canada...I may have been born and raised in America but I am of French Canadian descent and hopefully this menace in the white house will be expelled soon.

European here. Economist, French and Hungarian diploma, and an postgrad deg in Int Relations fro Switzreland. I worked 3 years for Canada, Fed Gov. They are rational, honest people. What you USA are doing to your allies is incredibly low. Hence, the credibility is gone for this WH, and will be though job for the next to undo some of the damage. By that time, we Europe will be closer to Canada, much closer, and maybe - not desirable-. much closer to China. No, with russia -not. Until that genocdial regime your guy is in love with is zeroed. At any cost for russia. trump allies with our no1 enemy. Get the f..k rid of him and all his people asap in the interest of you all, except him and the core MAGA sect. We see whats happening there and its no joke.

French fry

As an American: can I move to Canada, please? I don't speak French, but I am very fluent in English, and have a good command of Spanish. I'm a good worker.

Is this available anywhere with the original French part included? CBC translated it ?

Maybe Trump could get Melania to translate in another language for him in his public speeches - maybe French, Italian or even Spanish so the rest of our adversaries citizens can understand what he’s saying. ?

Anti-Americanism? Seriously? That is NOT what he said. Did you listen to any part of his speech at all? The English version, not the French one. Although if you'd listened to the French version, it would better explain why you are misrepresenting what he actually said. You might have misunderstood a large portion of it.

“Alright while the prime minister speaks in french”. I was expecting an English translation but received a casual uninterested spiel à la Ron Burgundy.

Nobody cares what Trudeau has to say. Didn’t he step down? Isn’t he walking out of office this month? Who knows what his successor will do. But Americans aren’t going to rally behind the French Canadian government against our own. Laughable.

Come on the rest of the decent world we can make a stand against the USA. Don’t buy Tesla. Don’t buy Ford. Don’t buy Nike. Don’t buy Apple. Buy Samsung, Adidas. French & German cars. Buy beers & wine from many countries & not the USA. Then with finances try to avoid American banks & credit card companies & shares. Even at a basic level we can all make a difference. Our governments all need to make a difference & trade more with each other rather than the USA it will be tough & take a while but we can break away from this hideous nation & need to do so asap.

Where are the protesters ? Not saying that cuz I'm french ? but in here that would be crazy

Couldn't we listen to the actual Press Conference, not 'splained? I can listen to French without understanding a word. Merde.

Why he cut off Trudeau speaking French? That's gross.

he way they are choosing to interrupt the PM's French speech is yet another sign of American arrogance.

One thing I find cool about Canadian federal speeches is that they conduct it in both English and French - Canada’s official languages. Their politicians are mostly bilingual because they are required to be. That’s kinda cool.

Why would Trump care- he sits in his white house or Trump tower UNEFFECTED- what does he know about the struggle of the AVERAGE AMERICAN?? He can only think of lifestyles like the French Riviera and golf courses. Does he care about what hes doing for the AVERAGE AMERICAN??? His actions speak.

Justin Can speak Fluent English and French. Trump speaks gibberish English and Fluent Russian... Hmmm

It is unbelievable that CNN does not translate the French speech. It shows how disconnected they are from Canadian reality.

French d-slap on his way out of office! ?? talking the most without stutter after 8 years in office ? ?. Wants Canadians to remember his only act.

When stupidly run the world the world is in big danger! This War is a game of sum nul, nobody will win but everybody will soufer.\nThis one will be very ugly.\nSome one please tell me the meaning of Make America Great Again, because on my side of the border I don't see anything great.\nFrome a French Canadian I am not sorry.

he is a french...

He really told off Trump, but he did it in French.\nHehe.

American citizen here with French Canadian Heritage and I stand with Canada ??

Look up the French connection it’s how drugs especially opiates go from Asia to turkey to Italy to Canada a lottttttt of drugs come through the north this guy is a liar and if prices go up we work and make money so whatever bro

American here. French Canadian ancestry. I’m so proud of Canada. I didn’t vote for Trump and can’t imagine why anyone did.

Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

The fact that CNN cut away when Trudeau switched to French says a lot about the US capacity for understanding

So impressed with Trudeau naturally switching from speaking english to french. And to you donald, are you really smart to do the dumb thing?

It was partly Trudeau's fault for stepping on Trump's nerves by letting Melania French kiss him. ???

As an Italian American living in New York, with Italian French-Canadian cousins living in Quebec, its really upsetting to see our relationship with our closest allies fall apart due to the greed and stupidity of only a hand full of people – if you can even call them that.

Instead of going to talking points, how about translating his speech, so we can know what the leadership is saying. Even if he is repeating English segment, I can already sense the conspiracy theorists getting on their keyboards about the hidden French agenda.

c'est dommage, why did they interrupt his French bit...kind of cuts of that part of Canadian culture...could have subbed it...anyway, imho, it is difficult to speak to a patients in a psychiatric ward.

You know when Trump saw this he was making the same stupid face he had when the french president corrected him the other day.

What about saying that Trump is the best Sino-Russian asset in the US ? 'cause that is what he is, currently... jeopardizing generationnal friendship and alliance partnership for a despicable inner self.\nAs a French citizen, I stand with you and your people, Sir Trudeau. And I'll always stand with Canada. *You don't boot a cousin out.*

And this is why I do not follow CNN. This came up in my feed, and I wanted to hear what Trudeau had to say. And I wanted to hear him speak in French. But no, you booger globs must think that there are no people in America who speak French, and no people in America who would like to hear him speak French. You are part of the problem, CNN. And then to hear this woman say what she says after that talk is just appalling to me. Lady, you are a turncoat. You do not have your ethics and morals in place. Anti-American? Anti-American? Is that what you got from this? Where is your dance cap!? Get it together. My god, what a disgrace, CNN. This is junk media. Infotainment.

Wait... you just switched away from his remarks when the Prime Minister switched to French? Is it because you don't understand, or don't have translators? Where are your translators CNN? Maybe you should borrow some from the CBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, because if you only listen to half his message, you're only getting half of what he said.

As tensions rise in Eastern Europe, the importance of steadfast leadership within NATO has never been clearer. France and Germany, long considered the backbone of the alliance, have stepped up with decisive action, reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank with strategic troop deployments and economic resilience. French President Émile Laurent and German Chancellor Anna Weber have demonstrated a commitment to European security, bolstering defense spending, coordinating joint military exercises, and ensuring the alliance remains united against growing threats. Their leadership has reassured smaller NATO members that Europe’s security remains a priority, even as transatlantic relations waver.\nAcross the Atlantic, however, Washington’s indecisiveness and political gridlock have left NATO partners questioning America’s long-term commitment. While previous U.S. administrations led with clear strategic vision, the current White House has struggled to project strength, often sending mixed signals on critical global issues. Despite these challenges, European leadership has proven that NATO’s stability does not rest solely on American shoulders. France and Germany’s firm diplomacy and strategic coordination have kept the alliance on course, ensuring that collective defense remains ironclad, even in the absence of strong guidance from the United States.

God forbid you just throw some subtitles up for the French part. No, just speak right over it. God forbid Americans are exposed to any language but English.
