I feel bad for the Americans , they put him there to be their President as they are hoping to have a better life . I’m sure some who voted for him now have the regrets as they didn’t expect that to him . I love that Canadian President he has a good state of mind thinking what is best for his country . He wanted to end the war between Ukraine and Russia but he is starting his own war , ridiculous ?

I'm in the middle east. My mom was Canadian born and my dad American. I support Canada. Trump is mad cuz he can't take over Canada as the 51st state. Canada has a secure border. The border crisis is BS.\n\nThe things that you import from the US, import from UK, Australia, France etc.\n\nThis is what the country I live has done. You find very few US products now. Most imports are coming in from the UK, Australia, France, Greece etc.

I'm American, I'm with you Canada ??

My respects Canada! My respects Trudeau! I am an American, but I support Canada. Trump is the worst and most shitty president ever in American history. I'm simply shocked that this criminal was brought back to power, obviously by those who just want to destroy America.

I´m from Germany and I think Trudeau shows how to be a real leader, not a showmaster. What makes me thougtful is to see the Republicans cheering to Donalds inhumane statements. We Germans historicaly know, that this kind of right wing politics can lead to a real desaster. I don´t understand, why only such a little number of americans are standing up and demonstrate for their rights und safe their democracy. This could all end very bad.

I almost thought for a second maybe he’s just addressing the us as a whole and our political figures, but then he said “your government is doing this to you” and he couldn’t be more right. I’m ashamed to be American. This is my ancestors country. I no longer want to be American.

Aa a Mexican / American I’m so concerned about what is happening in The US right now ! … same thing that is happening to Canadá is happening to Mexico ! How could Trump betray the good relationships the US had with both of its neighbors and primary economic partners? …. I’m concerned about Mexicans in the US ! Is not about illegal migration anymore !! Only Mexicnas and Latinos are being targeted !! This is not the country of freedom and democracy anymore !!!

I'm American and stand with Canada and Ukraine.

I'm an American and I agree with you Mr Trudeau.

As an American. I’m with CANADA. Not every American voted for that clown.

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

I’m an American but I’m with you, thanks much for knocking some senses into Trumps empty head! I loved how you said “Donald”! You’re one leader with a heart!

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

As an American....i approve of this message to our American. people. Plus, I'm a crown royal fan of whiskey. ?

I’m an American and I love you Trudeau!

??❤ I'm an American grandchild of a couple from Brighton, Ontario. I stand with my Canadian cousins and friends.

I'm from the Netherlands, Canada you rock! We stand by you and Ukraine ?. We planned a family vacation to America this year and after the fight with Zelenski we annuled it immediately. Not going to spend my hard earned money in a country that defends a murderous dictator. Americans, I know it's Donald and the republicans, and that most of you don't want this. I hope the tides will turn quickly

I’m a proud Canadian but after skimming through the comments, I just want to thank all the Americans and those around the world whom are supporting us ??

For trump, Canada and Europe are enemies but ruzzia is a friendly country. How can it be? How stupid some americans can be to believe in these?\ntrump is a ruzzian active agent since 2012. His now taking US as dictator.\nDon't buy any US brand or maded product, specially tesla and starlink.\nUS is enemy with trump, and will be worst. US cannot be trusted for years to come. They let ruzzian got power in their own country. They put trump in power today, and tomorrow who will be? They are only 300M people, and half are against this, lets fight this brainless people.\nI'm European, I'm with Canada.

I’m an American… I’m so sorry, Canada. I love your country as well as ours. I don’t want this at all.

I'm American and I'm in total support of what PM Trudeau is doing. My only advice is that he should think about hitting Tesla and all of the company that Musk own with a 100% Tarrif. That would make my day.

I'm American and even though it hurts you are doing the right thing. Wish my country didn't do the terrif put on you Canadian. So hold on my Canadian friends

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

Maga means alienating our friends and cozying up with Russia. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by our leadership. Canada needs to loosen their strict immigration laws. Millions of Americans want to get the fuck out of here. We love our northern neighbors, but they will only consider the super-wealthy as candidates.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

So happy as a European to see America finally deciding to hang out with countries its been much alike for decades: Russia, North Korea.. The mask is off. Mistake not Americans, you are just as brainwashed as the average Russian. Good luck, you will need it but since you are the one nation under God (propaganda brainwashing) I'm sure ya'll got this.

I’m an American as well. And I’m with Canada 10000% we the people in the US (most of us) stand with y’all. What the current administration is doing with this country is truly shameful. And I as an American apologize in behalf of our government. May god bless all of us.

I'm American, and Canadians should just instantly shut the oil pipe into the USA down...\nStart dealing with Europe, Asia, South America, and elsewhere throughout the world...\nCall trumps bluffs and I promise you he will fold like a cheap folding chair...

As an American I’m soooooo happy Canada is standing up to this dumb loser president and his side chick Elon musk ?

As an American, I’m sorry. He’s a reckless bully and doesn’t care about anyone but himself and his agenda.

I'm an American from Texas. I'm just so UPSET that TRUMP was voted in! How is that possible? It's hard to think that the American people are so ignorant! Buy into CHUMP TRUMPS BULL! He is an IMPOSTER, A FAKE!

Trudeau isn't what Rogan says he is. I'm a Canadian with morals and empathy. I was formerly a centrist, possibly right leaning. That has all changed now. \n\nWe have the same far right agenda working to assault Canadian values up north. Americans are being subjected to a fairytale 'mandate' that was swindled with lies and deceit, Trumps 2 favorite tacts.\n\nI'm 40 now. Pretty brushed up on history. I can't fathom why any reasonable person thinks podcasters or real estate agents can govern. \n\nIn the past, swineherds could become Generals, yes. BUT There has to be levels of experience in Governance to handle the responsibility of having lives in ones hand. \n\nDemocracy is the only way, lets not go backwards. FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ELON.

I’m seeing a lot of comments saying ‘just move there,’ which makes no sense and is such a lazy response. Immigration isn’t as simple as packing a bag—there are legal, financial, and logistical hurdles, especially right now. Supporting another country’s stance doesn’t mean you have to leave your own. As an American, I stand with Canada on this.

As an American, I'm waiting for the 2026 midterm elections. Looking forward to impeaching Trump after that. So sorry for the idiots that elected him though to be clear it was less than half of us.

I'm proud to be Canadian and American is not my enemy ! God bless Canada and USA ''.....Mr. Trump dear President than the \nHoly -Spirit blowing to you a good solution about all this!??❤

I’m American and i love Canada! I’m embarrassed with Trump’s decision. \n ❤? ??

i’m an american. i stand with canada

I'm American and we do not want this! We stand against the tangerine tyrant!

Mr. Trudeau, as an American, I sincerely apologize and I'm truly embarrased and ashamed of what my country has done ?. This is a sorrow moment and on behalf of all my American brothers and sister who are just as appalled, we stand with you! Don't forget about us

This is all making me so sick. I really appreciate Trudeau addressing Americans. I just hope Canadians and other good around the world remember that many people here do not want this. I'm afraid many of us may need help soon.

I’m going to be sick please don’t leave us here with this despicable excuse for a monster we have “running” our country and his whole cabinet full of unhinged, uneducated, bullies and bigots…. \n\nThis is the end of the USA… and what’s worse..? My our fellow Americans voted that criminal, narcissist, pig into office… and he will now eliminate everything we were and everything we once stood for…. No love. No diplomacy. No promise of a better life. No fighting Climate crisis. No belief in science. No allies standing hand in hand against evil. \n\nThis is it…that monster is the end of us by the time these 4 years are up…bravo American citizens… look at what you have done.

Hold on y’all… I only heard less than 10 seconds on the video and he just DECLARED Canada as “our closest threat?” For real?? Better be glad I’m not in charge cause I’d “declare Canadian airspace as American territory.” Dont fly nothing

As an American I stand with Canada and Mexico there’s some of us that don’t agree with what this government is doing. And as an American we shouldn’t stand with Russia that’s wrong. I’m sorry to all the countries out there that are taken effect by our circus of a government.

I'm an American and I fully support Canada. \n\nApologies for Donald's dumb actions, he's such a naughty boy.

I’m American! I stand for Prime Minister Traddeu

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

Who wants to be American?? No way!!! I rather pay 60 percent more in taxes. Have a weak dollar. Have no free speech no 4th amendment on and on. Be in forever debt trying to own a home. Yay I’m so glad to be Canadian ? we are suppose to be patriotic about paying 5 star prices for a 3 star county. ?

I’m American ?? and I’m ashamed, this is pitiful. I stand with our Allies Canada ??, Ukraine ??

I'm American. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister! No judgement at all!
