why did you cut away when he started speaking french? kinda suss....

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

I’m just amazed that he’s not reading from a script. Speaks volumes.

Hey it’s the corrupt governor speaking ?

Mr. Trudeau speaks the truth. Trump is insane.

As a Canadian this goof doesn't speak for all of us.

Canada Prime Minister speaks two languages while the US president barely speaks English.

PM Trudeau, this president of ours does not speak for half of our country. Many of us are sickened and disgusted by his choices. We are stuck with someone we do not want! My hope is that people will remember it is Trump making these choices. Please do not hold everything against all of the American people because we are NOT ALL supporting him.

Trudeau’s speech, spot on. This CNN “analysis” says so much about why it’s lost its value. Quoting the Washington Post’s use of the word “dumb” does not make a speech harsh. Good lord. 47 reckless governance is harsh, cruel and intentionally damaging, not to mention the way he speaks daily. Get it right.

Dear CNN: it is extremely irritating that your reporters are speaking over the PM answering questions.

One really has to admire Canada's leadership here. JT can speak without a script , No hurling of petty unintelligible insults and actually acts on the best interests of ALL it's citizens. So while the predator destroyer is on the march, humanity, reason and decency prevail in Canada.

Thanks Trudeau for speaking the truth. The US is insane right now. I don't think trumpers understand tariffs.

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

It’s crazy to see Trudeau speaking coherently, and I support his message. \nPierre Poilievre for Prime Minister ❤

He is seems to be very calm and humble but the way he speaks today is very brave and intelligent.This is a true leader.

Prime minister Trudeau Speak directly Honestly, intelligently to American people❤️????

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

Now this is how a true LEADER speaks

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

A big heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our American friends who have lent Canadians their support throughout all this, a keen observer would admit there are a lot of you out there standing up and speaking out for Canada. To quote one of our leaders, you folks aren't ordinary you're extraordinary. ????

speak directly to trash

My hero Trudeau. This is how a true leader speaks and acts.

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.

As a Canadian I am proud to see our PM speak like this today, (eloquently and intelligently) and proud of how all Canadians are uniting at this time. \nGod Bless Canada.

Trudeau does not speak for Canadians. NO to Ukraine. NO to Israel. NO to trade wars.

Contrast the intelligent speaking by Justin with the shouting and ravings of an old senile orange buffoon

I'm not a fan of trudeau at all but ill give him credit for actually speaking properly. For some reason that's how low the bar is these days.

That's how a true leader speaks!

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

I hope Justin Trudeau comes back as leader of the Liberals in Canada. Of course he has to do some reflection as to where he might have gone wrong, and to learn from his mistakes. Perhaps learn how to make better decisions in the interest of Canadians. It's brilliant the way Trudeau is handling these crises for his country created by none other than thug, convicted felon/rapist/liar/insurrectionist Drumpf. Justin Trudeau is an educated man who speaks two languages fluently. Drumpf on the other hand is poorly educated and can hardly speak one language which is supposedly to be English. Drumpf can only yell, lie, slander and insult. What an oaf

This is how a leader speaks! Props to Canada!

You need to stop watching the mainstream media! Perhaps then you would know what the facts are! \nOops, nevermind, you know the truth, you're just too disgusting to speak it!!!

JT is speaking thru the heart ❤️ he’s not reading notes or reading from the prompter ????????

Now he is a true LEADER who speaks the truth!! Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau!

Sad day for both sides. this incompetent man being in the office 30 days he’s creating all this chaos. He doesn’t know how to work with diplomacy and work with people who know what they are doing. Clearly he doesn’t & this is how a leader of country speaks. Lord help us what’s next, every day is some new disaster.

Canadians will be wise and resilient, but the American people will speak for us. May the leaders of the Canadian government and economists be wise and patient. May God give them wisdom, so that they can be a bridge, so that every pressure of the American government on Canada, the American people will feel with us.

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.

Our president can barely speak English and can't string together 2 thoughts without sounding like a fool. I'm very impressed with Trudeau.

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 ‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️??

If you are an American citizen and you are siding with Canada, you are a TRAITOR!!! As an American, a woman of African descent and an immigrant, I 100% understand why my President has taken the hard but necessary decisions that he took. It is time for other citizens of the world to realize that the USA is NOT HEAVEN, and America is NO SANTA CLAUS!!! This country has wayyyyy tooo many problems to continue with the foolish foreign and economic policies that we have pushed in the past...CNN it is about time you start speaking truth!!!

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

Justin and Canadians, please keep pushing back. The whole world needs to speak louder against the tyranny of the orange-faced evil.

Compare these two Presidents: one is a real leader who can speak articulately and coherently, backed by facts, while the other is just a hillbilly/redneck. You know which one is the hillbilly. :)

Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

I like confrontational Trudeau. This is how yous speak to the orange abomination.

Speaking directly to a child.

Americans stand with Canada. I didn't vote for Trump/Vance/Elon ticket. The Whitehouse doesn't care about Americans. Thank you for speaking to us. Fentanyl is an excuse to give people who make $376,000 or more a tax break. Unacceptable.

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.
