For the first time, I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. Trump does not speak for me. I ask Canadians and Mexicans to stand firm against tyranny, no matter where it comes from.

Speak them facts JT

From Germany ??: We support Canada in their approach. And we support Canada in speaking up. We share common values and we look forward for an increasingly closer cooperation, as Germans and Europeans.

From the same person who blocked his Canadians finances and banking systems of those who stood againt your bulling of truckers. You are safe at your southern border because of the USA. Im speaking to one Canadian, to you Trudeau. You are on your way out, true Canadians have tasted you and quiet frankly spit you out. Go ahead and put on blackface and feel better.

This whole situation saddens me greatly. Trudeau is speaking the truth.

I am loving that he is speaking the truth to WE the people

Trudeau speaking french was cool the only French trump know is Manaj a troix.

Nice to hear a world leader with intelligence speak!

Take note, US Deplorables: THIS is how a head of government/state speaks and acts. WATCH AND LEARN!

I have been speaking out about the dumbness of Americans. Also Trump is a narcissist dumb ass.

Donald Trump speaks Truth and is a man of integrity who seeks peace. Facts.

Mr. Trudeau speaking truth to STUPIDITY.

He speaks like he has some sort of authority! Choose your words carefully numb skull!

Want me to speak directly to soy boy Trudeau. I thought you resigned you piece of crap

As an American, I hate this administration and I feared this all coming. I don’t want to be here, and I fought and voted against this in every way I could. After this horrendous week, the only solution I can see moving forward is to leave the country I once considered home.\n\nThank you for speaking the truth. The majority of the American people don’t want this, and the few who think they do aren’t understanding the reality of what’s happening.

Did he speak any truth at all? Except for the biodigital and surveillance state increasing.

I am surprised the CNN allowed any anti Trump speech here seeing as they have their head so far up Trump's backside when Jake Tapper speaks it comes out of Trump's nose!

it's really weird to hear a leader speak in full sentences, use big words and not call anyone names.

I’m a government worker in the city where I was born and raised. I’m also a mother, a wife, and a family-oriented person. Because of the sheer incompetence of this administration—and the people who blindly followed along—our future is more uncertain and jeopardized than ever before.\n\nI was planning to buy a car for our growing family. We had been saving for a house and making future plans, but now, all of that—especially spending—is on hold. The U.S. is a consumer-driven economy, so what do you think will happen when people like me stop spending due to uncertainty?\n\nThis is madness. We need to speak out, build mutual aid networks, and fight for a future that uplifts everyone—including our allies.

Jesus CNN, shut the hell up and let us hear him speak! You can drone on amongst yourselves when he's done!

Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau speaks the truth. I wish we could get Trump and Vance out of office.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for speaking truth and for standing against the felon who is destroying us. He and his cult are dangerous to the world and must be fought in any way possible.

You allowed millions of tons of drugs and immigrants into our country. You are not our friend. Look at all the money these politicians have made using our tax dollars but they care about us. If anyone believes this then you should really do some research and actions speak louder than words. Nothing against Canada but this man has had years upon years to change things but now with tariffs 5 weeks in and problem solved. Sorry that's not how it works.

@robertedward7023 \n\nServing the country doesn’t mean that you’re right. President Trump was not bullying Zelensky but Zelensky was disrespectful to our President. “You have nice oceans so you don’t feel it now but in the future you will feel it “ is what Zelenskyy stated. How can you speak against your President who has done nothing but look out for Americans to defend someone who would be so disrespectful to our country. Zelensky also stated that Americans will bleed for his country. Why would anyone defend this blatant hatred. President Trump has tried to give Zelensky what he needs not what he wants. All of these countries gather together to rally against POTUS because he won’t allow them to financially enslave Americans and use America as a personal piggy bank. Every single American who loves this country should have President Trumps back.

where does he get off speaking to us without taking permission from prez trump. I'm livid!

That´s how a great and reasonable leader speaks. We need more Trudeau´s in the world!

Trudeau does not speak for many Canadians.

Robert ward very well Saud sir. An honor to hear you speak through text.

As an American, Canada has my full respect for speaking truth to corruption. The Trump administration is a cancer on the face of the earth.

This is how a serious Politician would speak and not a psychopath like Trump

Trudeau, you speak just like a child throwing a tantrump??????? You go Mr Trump!!

Hey CNN - Trudeau does NOT speak for Canadians! He is a traitor that works for a private corporation called the WEF which is owned by the white supremacy Schwab family.

It must really confuse MAGA to hear a leader speak clearly and eloquently.

I only had to watch the first 6 mins to know this is exactly the repsonse I expected, I was DYING to know what Trudeaus response was gonna be to the trailer-trash regime, bravo Trudeau, bravo. You're more of an American than the tens of millions of these lessser apes whom can barely read, hardly spell & poorly speak ??\n\nReal Americans stand against megalomania & tyranny , by that, we stand with you. We're not all morally bankrupt like our leaders, sir ?

I appreciate Trudeau standing up for you Canadians. I also heard the lady standing next to Trudeau speak and she is a strong leader too. I stand with you Canadians as neither of us asked for this but we are who are going to pay for trump's bad business practices...

Damn can he run for American presidency. Haven’t heard anybody speak this well with meaning and knowledge in a while

We are speaking to you as a tax paying American! No more money to subsidize your country! Protect your own borders without our military help!

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

Who cares about Canada it’s 70 Asians muslim and Arabs. There for the free handouts. No one speaks French or cares. Loser nation.

This PM really speaks clearly

Good job Trudeau, this is how a country leader should speak. Unlike the clown, speak what ever he wants and doesn't care about anything.

I don't know why the US government wants Canada. Logically speaking, it will be the bluest of blue states. Think of the consequences. Annexation could be the biggest of own-goals.

He's speaking to the camera because hes a coward.

How can speak he resigned

Canada will be fine! It's the Americans that will be tariffed by many countries by the time the lunatic is done. He will burn that country to the ground. We'll see who's still standing! I'm not all that worried because besides food, which we've easily replaced what do we get from the US? Nothing we can't get elsewhere. However, the US needs our resources. The lunatic is going to speak to Canadian's later today. Someone tell him we won't be listening!

my prime minister, speaks truth, and americans u are our brothers, i know most of u dont want this, i only hope trump can smarten up i am so sad he won election

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

Holy moly, is this what it sounds like when a world leader can speak two languages with clarity instead of rambling unintelligibly like Trump?

You have been taking advantage of the USA. noe that Americans want trade parity, you complain. you are abusive. Speaking of Russia to undercut America, you forget your suppottbto theSikhs terorits. toy have been ponging on theccmricans, nd now that aAmerican President, best in many years, has called off your taking advantage, you cry. GROW UP. YOU GOT THERE YOUR FTHER WAS PM. BUY CONT NOT GET MOB IN GHA MARKETS. THATY ISA HOW SMALL YOU ZR.
