Trudeau you are a wise reasonable person who loves his country and care of others. Trump is a horrible president, and a very stupid person on many levels. Thank you Trudeau to speak the truth and stand up for your honesty …Thank you..

Trudeau is fool, and on his way out. He is dead wrong about Trump. Shame on this rotten man. Pay the tariffs. We can't stand Trudeau, who is speaking ill of MY President and who totally doesn't know what he is talking about. Nothing but lies coming out of his mouth.

I’m an American and I didn’t vote for this! I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe, not Russia. Bravo, President Trudeau! ??

Proud of our Canadian cousins for standing up for themselves & against the crazyness of that lunatic dictator! Well defended by PM Justin Trudeau. Love & Support from France.

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Props to Trudeau and all Canadians alike from Portugal, huge respect for you guys. Stand strong

Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

I stand proudly WTH you Mr. Trudeau. Trump is a selfish ass interested only in his own financial betterment.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up against the evil President that we Americans are stuck with. Love to Canada from an old man in Arizona.

I think Trudeau is the only one fighting. Trump standing on business

Thank You Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. \nThis is what true leadership is…\nWe ??ALL stand together with you?? in this fight.?

I’m an American and Trudeau you have my support in standing up to Trump and his regime.

Brave! Proud of you PM Trudeau and the rest of our Canadian leaders for standing up to Trump

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

Canada has been so unfair in trade with the U S for years imbalance, soaking us with high prices for construction material, resource material, auto and mechanical products, we can make and produce our own shit, trudeau can go scratch. And i would hope my fellow Americans would stand up to these threats, where are your balls???

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

Thank you, PM Trudeau! Stand your ground.

Nice job Trudeau!, I have not always liked what he has done but he is showing that he can stand up for us when we need.

Your a mutt trudeau, you had time to stand up for Canadians by strengthening boarder and closing your ties with Chinese drug cartels. You're only gaslighting which too many Simps believe

As an American, I too, stand with Canada and Trudeau!!!

GO TRUDEAU - As an American I strongly support your position and stand with you and the people of Canada. We Americans are currently being held by the iron fist of a mad man who conned his way into our government with his lies and deceit. We will fight him at every turn, EVERY time. These people have CLEARLY forgot that the government is by the people and FOR the people. Instead, they've chosen to use the government and the people of the U.S. for their benefit ALONE. We will not tolerate this. Consider this American CANADIAN at heart

prime minister justin trudeau is handsome i stand with canada Iam a american

Thanks prime minister Trudeau for standing up to the convicted felon wannabe dictator ?????

All my respect for president Trudeau. The world needs to stand up to this bully...

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

Thank you President Trudeau for your courage. The majority of the American people stand with you. We do not want this for our country.

It is a shame that Justin Trudeau has resigned as Canada's Prime Minister. His decency and leadership contrasts enormously with trump and is what Canada, and the world needs these days. I stand with Canada. Thak you Mr. Trudeau.

Ho Ho ,, Trumpie Dumpie !!!! Trudeau is a Men standing by its moral !!!

From Germay as well: We need those kind of brave and clearminded politicians here as well who stand up and speak as strong as Trudeau did.

Trudeau and other leader angry because someone is finally standing up for the US!!! These so called allies have used and abused the US for too long! It's over thanks to Trump!?????????

Trudeau is truly standing up for my country against Trump’s threats.

CNN…lies lies lies. Trudeau is an idiot. Loser. I stand with Trump!

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

Go Trudeau, thank you for standing up to the racist morons in the white house.\n❤from Holland\n\nP.S.; I get the feeling Ukraine will be worse off signing the contract and apologizing

Damn as an American that disagrees with many Canadian policies. Somehow I stand with Trudeau right now. Economics 101 tariffs are bad for everybody.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

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.

Thank you, PM Trudeau. Stand your ground against the bully.

Trudeau is so handsome and smart and good. I wish he was our leader here in the US. Can you come here and help us, please? We need help. I understand why you have to fight back against Trump. I can't stand Trump and what he and our government is doing but I don't know how to stop it. I sure didn't vote for him. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for all of your great work and commitment and governance. I stand with Canada.

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!

Well done Trudeau ?!! The UK stands with you Canada ?? ??!!

We must stand up for ourselves against the bully like Trump. I hope to see other world leaders to do the same thing like Canadian PM Trudeau. As he points out loud and clear that Trump hurts Americans!!!!

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

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 can't understand why Canadians are not happy with him. I wish we had someone like Justin Trudeau to stand up to Trump over here.

Impressive Trudeau's speech. Standing with Canada. ❤??
