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.

Canada ? come join us in the European Union

Trump's alliance with Putin means that we Europeans can no longer see the USA as a partner, ally and friend. We will now have to see the USA as a competitor and opponent, perhaps even as an enemy.

European union SUPORT CANADA \n????

Canada join the european union you are welcome

So it's ok that white European Immigrants from Ireland, France, Italy, UK and East Europeans want to close the door behind them. Cheeky isn't it?

What is it all about! , The top 1% want the war machine wants and needs war! To give the false sense that we’re all united against the enemy! Europe is no longer a battleground for war. The Europeans are too smart! Wag the dog scenario, create an enemy for America And use Canada as the battleground so simple.

Trudeau may be whatever people say, but as an European, I think he a very good diplomat.

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care

As a European I stand with Canada. I lived in the Us and many Americans are wonderful. However this administration has lost its values and soul. Canada and the E.U should work together closely. And why not join the E.U? Our values are the same. And We must be united against he great imperialists threats coming from Russia and, now, America. \nAs a consumer I decided to boycott American products whenever possible. I had planned to travel to America on vacation but I will cancel that for the next 4 years at least. I hope many will join us in the “boycott American products” movement?

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

Canada, we welcome you to the European Union, if you want!

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

We Europeans stand with our friends in Canada! We stand with Mexico and of course we stand with Ukraine! We DO NOT stand with the USA!

Good speech. Tell the blighters. They abused us all in WW1, They abused us all in WW2, they abused us in Suez, now it seems they are cosying up tp their old Russian bed-fellows, to finish us and the Europeans off. This time together, ladies and gentleman. It should be us against the greedy US madmen politicians.

Kudos to Trudeau, a lucid speech and an excellent response to the unstable Trump's about-face.\nCanada has always shown itself to be a friend and ally of the USA, it is unfair that Trump does this to you!\nCome on Canada, we Europeans are with you!\nFrom Italy.

I have to confess I don´t know much about the actual canadian politics. But this reaction of Mr. Trudreau was very impressive. As a german European I know we are together in this completely insane situation initalised by the pathetic performance of the Trump administration. But with Canada on our side, with a strong leader as Trudeau I´m optimistic that the european leaders will also unite and focus not on their differences but on the common interest to stop this destructive US Goverment from destroying the free western society.

Canada get out of the American sheild.. make that make sense!! I love Canadians just not European ass kiss idiots.. Canada get ready for American he is showing you ge is going to hurt you

Now THAT is statesmanship. A fine example for European leaders. Greetings from the Netherlands.

I'm not with trump but listen to professor Sachs speech in the European parliament. This war was planned and financed by the USA. It all started in the 1990s.its a game that the elite and the MIC play . Who owns most of the mic, BlackRock. Who has the contract to rebuild Ukraine, BlackRock. Who will mine Ukraine resources, BlackRock. Welcome to the game\n We are nothing more than porns. In all the movies growing up who are the villains? Russia, China, Middle East terrorist. One guess who the heroes are. Yep the USA propaganda feed to the masses through entertainment.

I’m European and what Trump is doing is really going to hurt USA the most. \nCause he is putting tariffs on so many. The pain for the countries that get tariffs put on them gets spread out, but for USA it gets to take the blows from all of them who retaliate back. It’s mentality insanity.\nAmericans will struggle the most from this.\nI hope you guys wake up and understand what is going on. \nDon’t believe the lies you hear from Trump. We don’t pay your tariffs, you do!\nInflation will also run amok because of this.

European here. Let’s trade, let’s help Ukraine defend itself, and let’s cut out the toxic US.

The world can do much better without EUROPEAN AMERICA. CANADA, MEXICO and CHINA will do much better without EUROPEAN AMERICA

very proud of how Canada is handling this. I have stopped buying US products since Trump and started buying Canadian and European and I think it will only grow as a movement. Go Canada, keep it up!

It's more than time for Canada to turn themself to electric Chinese car at around CAD 5K with quality comparable to Tesla and so many more affordable goods and products from diverse countries of Asia including cheaper chips, GPU, CPU, etc... with the green, affordable and available electricity in huge quantity who could place Canada at the first rank in AI development without speaking about it Geo position reducing latency, Crypto mining at the lower cost around the entire world, the world largest rear earth elements and so many more. By stopping to cooperate with a vicious country which has the philosophy of eliminating the concurrency until to collaborate for the exponential growth of each other's. It's clear that the target of the US was to force the Canada to be producing goods and service to the US consummation at a price so low that will have turn Canada in a third world country which the US could invade or exploit as it will, like they did all around the world by bombing and even committing genocide using proxy to stole the resource of so many nations around the world. So obviously they deal with Russia on how to rob the richest from Europeans nation like Ukraine as it is clear that the US is now looking to make the entire world economy fall for their own profit. Canada must lead in the fight against the American imperialisms pushing for a world embargo against the US and become at the same time one of the richest nations in the world if not the richest one. while for the US citizens to invest all their money in BTC to ensure that they will not fall down with their government and economy.

I know a lot of Canadians criticize and despise Trudeau but judging from this speech alone makes me respect him a lot! I am European

From my humble little european country I wanted to say I got tears in my eyes of your president's speech. So wonderfull and respectfull!

Phenomenal speech. Europeans and Canadians should stand together against this new Russia-USA alliance. American people, I still do not understand why you have chosen this man and his disastrous program. We will all pay the price for that. We all want to live in peace, there was no need for that

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Good thing we have the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)!! Lets use it in full force and send the US packing!

We need more of this European Mexican and Canadian leaders talking directly to the American people cuz our government is actively lying and hurting us understand this is not by mistake it's very deliberate..

European Union here, Czech Republic. We stay with us Canada, we stay with you! And let's bypass Trump's America with Mexico and the whole South America as our allies too. BTW the Arab league can be our friends too and many countries in Africa and Asia, South Africa and Australia as well. Let us not be dominated anymore, let us finally freely cooperate!

As an European: ?????

Canada should join the European Union :) We welcome you

America bullied middle east a lot....now it's hunger of capitalism is growing...and it's coming for it's own...the European.

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Donald Trump. Something is terribly wrong with this man. This is the humble opinion of an european.

The only thing I see positive in the behaviour of Donald Trump is that it will force European countries European countries to unite themselves

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Could we get Canada to the European Union? Damn Trudeau, that was awesome speech. Hails from Finland, let's stand together as Nordic bros, who needs those middle landish people.

Well Trudy, no one likes you in Canada, don't forget what Ukraine is doing with the money and ammunitions from countries, keeping the money and selling weapons 20 cents on the dollar to Hamas and other enemies. Don't try and be self righteous. Ukraine is the most corrupt European country in Europe way before this war, that's why the President won't leave and wants it to continue

Well done Canada! Now join the EU and be part of the proposed European army! You might even consider building a wall on your southern border.

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

Join the European Union - you are more than welcome ❤

As a European I applaud this magnificent Canadian leader .

America, wake the feck up. Why do you put old, rich men in charge of your future? You go from one man who isn't far from being in a care home, to a man not that much younger but is a crude, reckless, arrogant, divisive bully?\n\nTake a look at the leaders of Canada and European countries, people who are put there because of talent and quality and ability, not because they are rich.\n\nHonestly, wake up and change your messed-up political system.

He sounds like an European. Good job Canadian Prime minister

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

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.

Mr. Trump and his team have no intention of doing business with Ukraine, Canada, European Community, England, G7, NATO all.\nCanada has been scorned by Trump, who wants to make Canada the 51st state. Now, Ukraine has been scorned by Trump, ridiculed by the Trump team, etc.
