An American from Indiana: I'm angry at Trump+Musk's policy and support Canada. I'd be happy if Canada put a 100% tariff on Elon Musk's Tesla.

I am American and I am all for you Canada. \n\nYou are right.\n\nWe need vote OUT all politicians that supported Trump as soon as we can.

Canadian here. \n\nFact, I'm certainly not a Trump supporter. \n\nFact, Trudeau has almost destroyed Canada. \n\nTake from my comments what you will.

Trump and his supporters are such dangerous liars. Lie to create a scenario to justify their behaviour.

Texas here. We support you Canada and we support Ukraine. \nScrew Trump and putin

We do not support what Donald trump has chosen. We support are allies. Support with Canada ?????

Too bad Trump supporters are blinded and will see this as nothing but propaganda.

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Trudeu is wrong. President trump actually makes sense. They have always support invader. The support israel, and russia

Love and support from iran to president Trump and USA.\n??❤️???❤️Trump??❤️???❤️

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

You have to know that the majority of us DO NOT support Trump. Many don’t even believe he honestly won the election. We are disgusted and angry. I call my representatives daily. I’m not sure it makes any difference. I have ceased buying from every company who has given him money. I protest. The republican senators and congressmen are corrupt and traitors. Our Supreme Court is in his pocket. So many of us don’t know how to stop him. He is the devil incarnate!

Trump supporters yall responsible for this.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

All these DUMB “Christian” Trump supporters voted for PRIDE… goes against god. What happened to treating thy neighbor like yourself?… I’m not even Christian and im shocked how DELUSIONAL these trumpists are.

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

Yep.... that's exactly how our US President sounds. Completely eloquent, thought provoking and with concern and passion for all human beings everywhere. ..................... I mean.... honestly.... does anyone feel that America is stronger & safer today? I doubt even the most ardent supporter of President Trump can honestly think that.... This is getting pretty darn serious and I'm not happy about that. IT IS ONLY THE FIRST MARCH of his SECOND TERM!!!!

I am buying and supporting Canadian and NOT buying anything imported from America. Trump is no more than a thug.

Nice work ? and well spoken! I support everything you and Canada stand for! Dump the trump!

U r...a ..big jokar....we support Trump

don’t say “They” Trump orange ass and his clown crew doing this we the American people not supporting his BS

Majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump, and we support his decisions.

Americans who support Trump support Putin. Sad.

I just learned this month how much we rely on Canada. This tarriff move is beyond ridiculous. All of us Americans do not support Trump so do what you've gotta do Canada.

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

As an American, I am ashamed of our president. I apologize to the Canadian people and want them to know that the vast majority of Americans do not support what our president is doing. We will do what we can to stop him, and I hope when this insanity is over, you can forgive us and we can restore our relationship. We know that because of Donald Trump's stupid actions, we will have a lot of work to do in restoring your trust in us. Again, I apologize.

I am American and do NOT support Donald Trump ?

Everyone has called Justin and idiot for years... now... he standing up to Trump and everyone comes out of the woodwork to support him lol.... Trump doesnt do anything without a reason or plan. The man has been hitting nothing but net for decades. Goahead and have your @sshole pumped full of rainbows for a minute or 2... but I guarantee whatevers up Trumps sleeve will soon be revealed. The U.S has been beaten down by shitty trade deals for years and years.

I no longer believe there is anything Trump could do to deter his supporters. He’s openly aligning with dictators and bullying our allies, dismantling checks and balances and consolidating power, even talked about a third term?! Everyone in the government going along with him clearly has dollar signs in their eyes and a “if you can’t beat him, join him” mentality. Sorry Canadians. If you’re worried, I promise we are too. At least I am.

I support Trump on a lot of issues but not with this. what benefit does Trump have with Russia that he is fighting with all the western countries? The western nations was not at fault with the US getting trillions of dollars in debt, its the fault of all those US presidents who kept of making wars.

Trump is acting without any care to what the people of this country want or need. What's happening is terrifying to so many of us. Please know that what he is doing is not supported by the majority of the country.

And Fox News says: Blah blah Trump blah blah blah blah trump is sane….really really smart….blah blah blah. I see a stupid, made up clown, dumb as a box of rocks, supported by the richest in the world who only want more, more, more. Trump is evil, a rapist, a dictator wannabe and again DUMBER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS. Stop sane washing this idiot. Because if you’re not making more than 400k a year. Your gonna lose lose lose

Americans IN SUPPORT OF CANADA AND MEXICO!!! Do not give in to trump.

Trump and the republican party are traitors to their country and so are everybody who voted and supports them. Wake the fuck up Americans and take back your country. Stop trying to do Putins bidding by picking a fight with your friends. STOP BEING SO FUCKING STUPID.

News Flash: this is because Vladimir Putina asked Donald Trump to do the Tariffs and that he shouldn’t have put them on hold. This is because Canada supports Ukraine.

As an American, I support Canada and Ukraine... I will never support Trump, he's a convicted felon and traitor of the United States and everything we stand for

Well said PM Trudeau . Please know not all Americans think like Trump and support what he is doing to our country.

Putin despises Canada. Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Canada supports Ukraine. Trump works for Putin. Buckle up USA! You were warned.

A message to Canada from an actual patriotic American: Do what you need to do. We support you. We understand you are helping us stop this scourge that is Trump.

Trump did not win the election he stole it shame on his supporters

I Live in Michigan, and I Never Voted for this Monster ?, Trump....\n I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz....\n I Do Not Endorse Trump's Crazy Tariffs....\n On Behalf of ALL Americans, Who Never Endorsed, These Three stooges, that are Destroying my Country....\n I can Only Hope We can Get Through, This, and I dont Blame Canada, or Mexico, for the Backlash Against Us.....\n I support you're Position.....\nNever in my 62 Year's of being Alive, have I ever witnessed such raw pure Evil, as Trump, JD VANCE, Elon Musk.....\n I apologize in advance, and ask for you're Prayer ? that this Oppressiveness, will STOP ? Soon.....?

Please make sure that what you are saying is all from Trump and NOT ALL the United States! Soooo many Americans do not support that guy!!!

Italian here, 100% support to Canada. Trump, Vance and their cult are just fascist trash, and we have the duty to stand against them as much as we possibly can.

This is BEYOND enraging and embarrassing as an American. Trump is the biggest danger to the world and world peace! Millions of us Americans support you Canada and Ukraine! And Trumps supporters sure are quiet about those supposed “cheap eggs” here comes the disastrous tariffs!

Honestly, Trump isn’t played by Putin. He is intentionally supporting Putin.

Governor Trudeau is properly punished by President Trump. Very Good Job Sir. This absurd canadian government should be punished properly. Full support from Canada.

I work daily with trump supporters. They are dumb af

I agree totally with Trudeau. Do not support Trump's alliance with Putin. Donald has gone rogue!

Simple, to the point, factual, and brilliant speech. What the US is doing is starting a fight with the best neighbor you can possibly have, a neighbor who has always supported you. Trump is like Cesar setting fire in Rome.
