Canadians must stop apologizing to Americans. We have nothing to apologize for. Every single American of voting age is responsible for this. \nYour elected president is an existential threat to my children. \nYou’re not my friend or ally\nFO\n????

To anyone that isn't an American: our president does not represent all of us. Many of us are vehemently against this ridiculous person in office, and understand if other countries need to step away from us because of this nonsense.

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

Trump will go down in history as , THE most damaging so called president US , I feel for any American ,that (did not ) vote for him.

Well 25% tariffs from Mexico and 25 % from Canada, You Americans, for your own good and for democracy better impeach your president and his people.

Trudeau the American people stand with President Trump don't poke the bull cuz you will get the horn

This American who is also a Canadian stands with Canada. I am sickened by our American President who I think is a CLOWN along with all his minions and MUSKRAT. All of them want to be associated with a dictator and have no balls to stand up to Trump but will continue to follow him until we have noting left. Keep drinking the cool aid you fools.

As a American.. i stand with Canadas decision.. its unfortunate that we have a child a felon a Russia loving president.. if which i can't believe people voted in to destroy America.. Go for it Canada.. fuck Trump..

As an American I agree with Canada. The only way to get our dictator childish president to stop is to fight back. Hit him in his wallet. Our president is shameful and an embarrassment. Destroying all our alliances and supporting Russian dictator is absolutely unacceptable

AMERICANS SHOULD NOT EVEN GIVE TRUDEAU THE TIME OF DAY JUST LIKE YOUR PRESIDENT, TRUDEAU IS A NOBODY LET THAT SINK IN.

President Trump is making moves in the best interest of America. Canada when you control the entry of phentonol to the US than we can talk. President Trump has said he going to protect Americans from dying from phentonol and thats what hes doing. Bye Canada you need us .. we dont need you!

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

I never thought that in my lifetime I would see, as I do now, the once might USA become a vassal state of Russia. How the mighty have fallen! What makes it worse is that the (new) US leader is in no way responsible to the US electorate and is a War Criminal as recognised by the International Criminal Court. President Putin is his name.\n\nLuckily, many Americans quite like this state of affairs.

As an American, I got tell you, OUR PRESIDENT IS AN IDIOT! He doesn't understand, how tariffs work. Or is purposely inflicting pain to all Americans with them, because he is clueless. He refuses to educate himself.

Im an American and I support President Trump. to the leaders of Canada, have you brought your very best to the negotiating table? no one wants tariffs, but we also want fair trade.

You have no success on American people! We support president Trump! He does what he promises. Unlike you, globaliste puppet!

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

I hate being stuck on the wrong side. Such an elegant leader Canada has. We Americans that don’t agree with our president are stuck with his embarrassing actions and his cabinet members that are very unqualified to be in their positions. Unbelievable. \nDump the Trump!

This commie dictator can’t stand toe to toe with TRUMP! Americans are overwhelmingly behind our president. America and Americans FIRST!

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

As an American, please pray for us. Our president is an insane mad man. ?

USA got to the point when it has the worst president ever, he is very destructive , divided and dumb. He is breaking the best military force on the planet: Nato. The nightmare for Americans.

As an American I stand with Canada. Don't let Trump dictate what Canada does, stick it to his ass. He won't be president forever and I feel bad for our next president that person is going have alot to fix and put back in place.

Thank you maga this president will defenitely make us last in every which way and form. Your pockets will be empty , while he continues to milk the system for every penny he can and do things to get big corporation to give home more money at the expense of the American people. He is taking your job so he can reward the wealthy with even more and taking away Medicare and social security. This president will make sure that we the people are the last to benefit from his presidency.

Dear Canadians Im sorry that their (not my President) dementia ridden dipshit of a president. Started something he could not finish. I promise you not all Americans are like this. And not all Americans are stupid followers of his.

I don't think the US has any friends anymore all because of one person and his thuggy support group. I can't imagine putting anybody more anti American in the presidency. Also Donald is and idiot.

Biggest mistake : \n*** *** ***\n>American have elected a President who doesn't deserve to be. \n*** ***\nThis is Prophecy:\n>Under Trump America will be Isolated. \n>Trump will be most disliked President in the history of America. \n>America will lose Credibility as Super Power. \n>NATO will be divided. \n>America will fight World war -III Alone. \n>America's downfall has began. \n*** *** ***\nCANADA Proud of you CANADA. \nRise and Shine .

As an American I am with Canada. How refreshing to hear an intelligent leader speak the truth. How things would have been different had Kamala Harris been our President.

Prime Minister, I wish you weren’t resigning. I would be proud if you were my president, not the one who has acted so viciously without thinking of the consequences which hurts Americans as well. The only person who will benefit from this will be Vladimir Putin.

(from an American citizen) why can't he be OUR president????

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

This is very WEAK by this President. President Trump was voted in by The Majority of Americans. We The People are tired of Not coming 1st. Canada is only weaker because of this speech. Weak.

If Americans listen properly they will know that president donald trump loves to address other presidents without using their titles. Even Netanyahu was addressed as BB throughout their last meeting.

CNN is full of bots and they are anti American. These comments are all fake propaganda. Thank you President Trump keep the heat on them until they respect us .

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

This Mexican American stands with our President TRUMP! USA…USA….\nWe don’t need Canada, CNN is also FAKE NEWS!?

Europe stand strongly behind Canada and Mexico\n\nPeople stop buying american stocks\nPeople stop buying american goods\nCountries start making new friends and allies excluding USA\n\nPoor you\nMy heart goes to all people who protest \nRemove your president and the top they are not worthy of you hard earned taxmoney….they only wants to make themselves rich and remove you the peoples voice\n????????

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Americans deserve this, Kamala would've been the right person but these people can't see a Women as President and many didn't vote for her because of her colour bullshit..

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

It's Simple Math , \n...If Biden would have Walked the Line like a good President , \n...being good to the American people \n..( by Not opening up the Gates and letting in Hell on Earth ).\n.. Then he wouldn't have handed off the Whitehouse Presidency to a common thug \n Do The Math \n.....This Whole Mess we are All in is Biden's Fault ⚡❗

Do not make the distinction that 1 lunatic...trump...represents all of Americans...I didn't vote for that idiot...he's not my president

As a Vermonter, i support my neighbor and and embarrassed and mortified to consider any American, especially a president or ANY leader would do this thing, to our neighbor or its own citizens. Oh Discordia

As an American citizen, we don’t want this either. But YOU have chosen this path with how you chose to deal with The U.S. this is on you Trudeau for the way you treated us all 4 years of Biden’s presidency. We are proud of our president taking a stand to jerks like you.

Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher

Trump ? strong ?? if you don’t like my President Trump, you’re not a true American ??

I am a French Canadian. I did not hear it From Trudeau in English but I heard it in French, the real reason of the economic war is annexation. Fentanyl, immigration was just a Casus Belli. Trump want to put us on our knees and beg to join the US. We will have federal elections soon and we know that Trump will try to influence the outcome of the elections like Chine, Russia or India. We know has Canadian that USA is not a friend anymore. Trump is the dumbest of American President of the history of USA. Americans citizens get rid of Trump and Vance before it is too late.

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

Very impressed with President Trudeau. Articulate, honest. Stand strong together Canada. Americans are with you. Not with Donald \nTrump! Your Prime Minister is to be congratulated. \nThis is madness!!!!! \nBut we will right the ship!!\nDon’t give in to him!
