I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

Full support for people of Canada and Present Trudeau❤❤❤ Shame on trump and his puppets!!!

I'm American...I love Canada! I have many friends there ! Thank you for standing up for Canada and actually for standing up for innocent Americans like me who never voted for this monster we have now as a president! I'm 50 and I've never ever seen anyone like the administration we have now ! My parents and my grandparents would be ashamed of Donald Trump especially my grandfather who was a world War 2 vet who received a purple heart award ! Shame on you Donald

Wooow, what a clear speech and action. Sadly, Trump is severely mentally ill, as 70 psychiatrists have warned since 2017 continuously. Moreover, Trump is a gangster like, who surrounded him with nuts alike. More moreover, he jumped into Putin's criminal boat. What a president voted Americans... Russia put a president in America, the Nobel Prize for mental illness is spreading around the World goes to the Kremlin. Eternal shame for those who voted Trump. WW3 is closer than ever.

So all you folks who voted for trump I ask you are we great again yet man how could we have messed this up y'all knew y'all knew who you were voting for and still you did it anyway SHAME ON Y'ALL

I guess we have to get used to living with rapist and child molesters getting whatever they want. Since Trump literally got the sex offender brothers in the country so they skip out on justice just like Donnie got to do. That's the country we live in. A country where literally rapist and child molesters are granted safe passage and decent people with integrity are talked to like criminals. It's absolutely shameful to be an American

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

What a shame for America that has president Trump

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

Listen all over the world react to Donald Trump. Looking at in the old testement how God punish His people. United States now loosing the free world leader now. It's a shame. I'm not sure who is the dictator now. A free world leader not speaking like a 6 years old kit. America is a christian country, American should speak or talking like a christian, not talk like evil.

Donald Trump has literally embarrassed me as an American. What a shameful, disgusting occupant of the Oval Office. SMDH

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.

All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

It’s not lost on a lot of us that the Canadian PM cares more about American families than the lunatics running Washington right now do. The Trump tariffs are shameful.

Trudeau is fool, and on his way out. He is dead wrong about Trump. Shame on this rotten man. Pay the tariffs. We can't stand Trudeau, who is speaking ill of MY President and who totally doesn't know what he is talking about. Nothing but lies coming out of his mouth.

Trudeau is being kind. tRump is a stupid, self-centered, vengeful spoiled, immature brat, who wants to punish everyone and anyone who may do as little as disagree with him. He will never apologize or admit he is wrong, but he will be cruel and heartless. We need to shame him and Vance and impeach them and all the MAGAs who support them.

It’s shameful and I have no words I can say on this channel but trump is full of shit!

Shame on Trump!

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

Well done Trudeau. Shame on Trump ... why Donald why???

Uk here, shame on trump for these tarrifs ,i support canada

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

What a shame! Trump you are so reckless, because of you this world today is suffering.

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

This are Trumps policy that I didn’t vote for shame on Trump I’m with u Canada fight back 1000% times

Shame on trump! Shame, Shame Shame Shame Shame!!!!!!!! I'm SICK at this Neo- Republican Administration!!! They are taking us down!

That makes Donald Trump the dumbest person to ever occupy the Oval office in history. What a shame!!!! I am proud of Justin Trudeau.

It is a shame that Justin Trudeau has resigned as Canada's Prime Minister. His decency and leadership contrasts enormously with trump and is what Canada, and the world needs these days. I stand with Canada. Thak you Mr. Trudeau.

Wow, a truly impressive speech! Thank you so much for standing up against the bullying Trump-administration. These dangerous clowns are about trying to dismantle democracy and freedom all over the western world.\nMe and my family were planning to visit USA for vacation this summer. After the shameful White House -meeting last Friday these plans were immediately abandoned. We now decided that we are going to Canada instead. \nGreetings from Switzerland

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

It's time for Canada and other countries to hit back. Trump MUST Understand that he cannot treat sovereign countries like local suppliers or customers. It's a shame and a pity that people who did not vote Trump are forced to endure the consequences of his and Putin's decisions.As for the MAGAS, it will only occur to them when they can no longer afford fuel for their gas guzzlers and eggs for their breakfast.

Shame on Trump but of course he doesn't have any. The man is destroying this country and it's amazing how many people voted for him and put him in a position to do it. Y'all still think he is going to lower prices?

It’s simple: Trump wants to replace Canadian commodities with Russian commodities! Shame on our NATO partner. This Canadian says pull the plug on the power exports.

What an intelligent speech. The USA is a disgrace under Trump, he sows hate, division and lies. SHAME on you Donald.

It’s really annoying that CNN continues to babble on instead of letting Trudeau finish his press conference and then proceed with their responses. Our country is in the hands of a madman along with Musk and other cowardly Republicans who are in office. For all of those who voted for Trump, wait till energy and other costs rise, but it’s a shame we will all suffer as a result. Canada is our friend I am ashamed right now to call myself an American.

Could ?trump articulate one sentence anywhere near the likes of this man? That narcissistic selfish loudmouth Felon bully rapist with a mushroom head micro penis was chosen by UTTERLY UNEDUCATED maga folks. It's shamefully. Will they now grow up and March to his house like they did on Jan 6 to oust him? That's the only thing that will save america.

Mr. Trudeau, Donald Trump is not smart!!!! He is mentally unbalanced. Shame on those Americans who voted for him. You get what you deserve! Unfortunately, you drag me along with you. ?

Prime Minister, we don't want this either. trump is ruining our country, and our relationships with our closest friends. He is a lying, grifting, crooked, hateful, evil person, without a shred of compassion for even us Americans. He is shameful, stupid, and embarrassing. Please pray for us.

I just want to know what Putin has on Trump? I smell FISH and I will not be proud to be an American until we get rid of this shameful administration.

How stark the contrast is between Prime Minister Trudeau and Trump. Monsieur Trudeau, you are a true leader of your people. Trump, you are a true puppet of Putin. What shame he brings upon the people of the USA ?

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

SHAME ON AMERICA. SHAME ON ALL WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP.

Interesting. So it sounds like Canada just started last year with stopping drugs from coming over the border...remind me, how long have drugs been coming across? Bluff called, Canada, you were abusing the United States, until Trump came around...shame on you, too late. And like he said, this will be tough. But drugs stay out, child trafficking stays out.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

From a fellow Commonwealth country Australia ??here, totally support Canada ??. Trump is a wannabe dictator and referring to Prime Minister Trudeau, whether you agree with his politics or not, as a “Governor” is not only disrespectful to PM Trudeau but to all Canadians. In the same way Trump disrespected Zelenskyy. This president and the current GOP has no shame. Do not back down Canada!

These tariffs are embarrassing and unacceptable. So disgraceful. So shameful of Donald Trump and the Republican party.

Trump is a shame to the American people!!!

As an American I am grateful to Canada and I will continue to buy Canadian products. The “leaders” of America are shameful bullies. So far, nearly every attempt that has been made to stop this madness ultimately gets turned over by someone in Trump’s pocket. Thank you for standing up to the bullies. I wish the best for you!
