i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump wants Canada's rare earth minerals. He's trying to destroy Canada so he can support his AI Ambitions.

It’s honestly such a disgusting feeling to be an American right now. I love my country and many of its people but the trump administration is tarnishing this country and making it an embarrassment across the globe. I feel powerless and angry. I hope for the best and I fully support this response Canada.

We are with you sir! 99% of Americans support Canada!!! Trump is a racist ignorant POS!!!!! The only way to stop rhis is to remove trump and vance using whatever methods are needed!!!

Just imagine a similar (Trump, Vance and Zelensky) dialogue - but in 1940. \n \nThe Reich is furiously bombing Britain! Churchill flies to Washington for help. and Roosevelt tells him, ‘Sir, your card is dealt. ‘Make a deal with the Führer before it's too late. ‘He's a peace-loving man. I've known him a long time.’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘But, Mr President, he's bombing us! My predecessors in 1938 tried to negotiate with him, but you see what happened? He doesn't honour any treaties on principle.’ \nVice President Garne enters the conversation: ‘Churchill, your country is a mess! We and Hitler want peace, and you want war! It's you who are incapable! You disrespect our Oval Office with your demands for support.’ \nRoosevelt adds: ‘Yes, Churchill, you're playing with World War II! Make peace with Hitler immediately, and give us all the resources of your island. By the way, where's your suit?’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘I'll wear it after the war.’

Blame all Trump voters. They put us here. When Trump blatantly said what he was going to do! So we stand with Canada and Non Trump supporters ?

The US administration is a joke. I do not support it . Help your American people Trump …..

I support Canada 100% and other nations Trump and his incompetent administration are going against. He’s a traitor and needs to be impeached immediately along with his goons!

Many Americans don’t support Trump’s actions, we stand with Canada ????

I’m American and do not support Trump’s Russian administration. He’s purposefully sinking our country. The Republicans aren’t doing anything to stop him. We are losing our democracy because Trump is compromised and working for Putin along with Elon.

Why did I support Trump? Damn what a mistake, he's obviously a Putin puppet, he doesn't care about the working class, he only cares about the rich. He seems to be trying to destroy America purposely.\nI am a two war veteran and I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

As a Swede, I support Canada and the Americans who are willing to fight against Trump's agenda.

This is true leadership! Support for Canada… Trump cabinet needs to get it together…

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

My President was once a person I may have not agreed with. But, I stood by my government’s decisions and supported my president’s policies. This is a message to you my President. Trump…your acting impulsively and need to stop acting like a child.\nStop supporting the Russians and stop this madness.

To all you Maga supporters: it can't be that Trump is always right and everyone else is wrong. 9 times out of 10 Tronald Dump is wrong on everything

American here, I have never supported tyrant Trump. I stand with Canada.

I love Canada and the US. MAGA is un-American. Trump is delusional as are his supporters.

As a Swiss, I support Canada and the Americans who are willing to fight against Trump's demented agenda.

TRUE: Trump and the Republicans who support him are destroying the US and World economy while destroying decades long alliances with democratic nations in favor of Authoritarian ones like Russia.

Smart guy?! Thank you for being polite. Trump is the moron and the lying idiot that other idiots supporting

I stand for the United States of America and support President Trump.

The sane people here in the USA support you 100% And we are Anti-tRump also. and tRump is NOT a smart person, he is a spoiled 6 year old that needs to be sent to his room

Trump is a disgusting sociopath! For the first time in my life, I feel unsafe in my country. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Greenland, Panama, and Mexico! Trump should be in jail! Anyone who supports him has sold their soul to the devil! Praying for my nation!??❤️?

I wish Trudeau would say the TRump regime is imposing the tariffs. America is not doing that. I don't and can't support anything the TRump regime does and proposes. There is a difference between TRump and America. One has nothing to do with the other.

I support Trump on the minerals deal but I believe the other NATO nations should also compensate the USA since we provide the weaponry necessary for Ukraine to survive. It helps even out the alliance a little.

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

As an American Im in america and support Canada…’.so let that sink in Trump…many millions just like me

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

I support Canada ?? ❤ thank you for standing up to Trump because noone in our country has the brass too.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

Trump is an obvious Russian asset. He's betraying his allies and his own people, and supporting America's mortal enemy. #SovietAmerica

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

I really hope that those who supported Trump swallow their pride and vote him and his croneys out

As a German, I support Canada and the Americans who are willing to fight against Trump's agenda.

Trump is more supportive of Putin than of the free world. We don’t want this either. Trump is going to create a worldwide recession. Who does that benefit? No one. Trump is more willing to support Putin than our allies. For someone who’s supposed to be bright; he’s not demonstrating anything but incompetence.

I voted Harris & Democrat & support Canada! Draft dodging coward trump is not my president & believe his fascist republican party stole election, midterms coming, let's kick them out!!

TRUMP launched this trade war. NOT the American people. But we, true and patriotic Americans, who denounce Trump need our allies to stand firm against Trump - even if it hurts us. The only way for us to be able to take Trump down is to convince his supporters that he is wrong and that his actions are destroying America.

I support Canada from America. Please do everthing to hurt Trump and Elon Musk. I support 100% tariffs on Elon and his companies. Please world make them pay.

Russia loves all of these developments. It will gain a wealthy ally to fight Western democracy. Trump loves this because he wants to become dictator, with MAGA and the Supreme Court supporting his wish.

I support Trump and much of what he is doing, but I do agree Canada has done well enough to the point these tariffs should not have gone through. I was fully expecting this not to go through or at the very least be much smaller.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NOT TAKE NO INSULT TO THE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IN ANY WAY OR FORM WITHOUT YOU ALL PAY FULL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR COMMENTS. FROM CANADA. AND WE DONT NEED TO COMMENTS OF SUPPORT IN ANY WAY OF FORM FROM NA OTHER COUNTRIES POLITICOS OR PRESIDENTES OR ANY LEADER . WE SUPPORT ARE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PERIOD. FK YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMENTS OR ADVICE .MR. CANADA LEADERS.

As a resident of Michigan I support Canada 100 Percent. Trump is a Traitor!!! Punish all of US to wake up the 49 percent of Americans who voted for the Orange Traitor and his Vice President Muskmellon!!!!

What a disgraceful embarrassment Trump and his cronies are to America. May be next year when unemployment is through the roof and America is in deep recession MEGA supporters will realise they have been conned.

Trump supporters only want this. And they don’t even know the consequences this tariff war will cause

WE WILL STAND STRONG TRUDEAU,,THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN IN YOUR CHARACHTER,,WELL DONE!! CANADIANS HAVE THE PUCK IN THEIR CORNER !! SCORE AND GIVE TRUMP THE PENALTY OR KICK HIM OUT OF THE GAME HE HAS NO SKILLS FOR!!! OH MY CANADA , GLORIUOS STRONG AND FREE !
