As a US citizen I am so very sorry!! My family did not vote for this crazy man, our government is trying to destroy our nation!!

I’m a US citizen and stand with Canada ??

How you calling him a friend and being condescending at the same time. \nThen addressing us citizens like we are his school students \n\nF u dude

this restarted dude legalized drugs and pedro fillers in his country, and he talked to US citizens as he's doing something good ?

I'm a 71 year old US citizen and I hate Trump. I didn't vote for him, nor would I EVER! I'm truly afraid of what our future holds. Please pray for us, the regular folks, not billionaires. We love you Canada.?? ❤

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

I am an American citizen, but I have deep Canadian heritage, from my grandparents who originally \nMove to the US from Quebec !

I’m a Us citizen and I don’t approved Trump actions.

@ Justin Trudeau. You have hurt us the Canadian citizens since 2020. You’ve heard the whole Canadian economy. Why did your wife leave you?\nWe don’t want to hear a thing you have to say everything is crap. Kindly going into some shell.

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Oh no maple syrup ............nooooo . Have any of you Canadians looked into what Canada imports vs exports .......... remeber all those new green deal garbage is out the window here in the USA, so lumber is going back up , mining , etc . Just because our countries are next to each other doesn't make us neighbors......... your country has allowed trahs polices to over ride your citizen rights, you've filled your country with migrants , you support crazy sick policies allowing sexual perversion to be put before public saftey . If your countries economy is so effected by this maybe you need this , got a little to relaxed riding tr he coat tails of being next to America. And don't take it personal , this isn't about you as a country but more about American calling out americna companies who build factories only your side , get great deals for taxes and then import the products back to American at a premium retail price and then profit off the American people while offering nothing back .........the end goal is to either make thise companies pay more to get products over the boarder , or bring the factories back here and employee americans .........and last I check the Canadian government doesn't own or produce any products so the things that will be imported to usa will be the ones with a cost rise to the companies that are producing them ........ them............

As a US citizen, Trudeau would be a much better president of the US.

So sorry that half of our citizens drank the t rump koolaid. Some of us send our love and prayers to our, our wonderful neighbor.

Who are you to talk to US Citizens.\n\nLet me talk to your Canadian citizens: stop crossing illegally and stop sending drugs to US

Where are all the MAGA supporters??? This thread is too reasonable and level-headed. Well, I guess they are losing steam. Trump is a bully and an embarrassment on the world stage as far as this US citizen is concerned. Where is Elon Mush? I used to have some respect for Elon, but jumping in bed with Trump is a mistake Mush will come to regret. I guess I need to protect my retirement investment portfolio - I think Trump will decimate it by destabilizing the stock market's confidence like this. sigh...

Canada u have an actual leader (envious US citizen)

I am a American citizen I live America I feel the same like you say our government wants destroy us one for all because our citizens are stupid picking criminals to run the country

I’m a us citizen and I’m urging my president to not impose any tariff to Canada because we both countries are a very good friends and neighbors.Canada is always in support of us and vice versa so please Mr.trump stop your tariffs to Canada.please do not break relations with Canada and Europe.thank you.

US citizen here. None of us want this. Sorry we ended up with the Cheeto again.

From the US here Good job I am glad. Tell that idiot and the us citizens what a liar Trump really is. He didn't want the presidency. He only wanted to stay out of jail. I truly beleive this. So he letting Elon run the presidents office. A total bunch of idiots. They have fired 1000s of us government workers. I really don't think he is smart person Justin. I'm from ky. And I can garentee ypu it has nothing to do about drugs. Stick it to the sorry idiots. Again good job Justin.

Trump and his crooked administration are traitors and can’t be trusted. They are not protecting US citizens! There’s an internal coup in the US unfortunately. Protect your country Canada!

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

As a Canadian it's nice to hear that there are U.S. Citizens that stand with us, but lets be honest, we don't want you standing with us in this moment, we want you standing up to your own leaders and telling them that they're wrong. You start doing that, we'll stand with YOU.

This US administration is not a government. It is a terrorist organization and most of us, as US citizens, are hostages. Our govt is being dismantled. The rule of law is under attack. This is an economic war on us also. God bless you all.

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

US citizen here! We don't want this either. Our elected official is a deranged maniac and most of our citizens are pissed off. We love our Canadian neighbors and don't want this ridiculous tariff war. As for US supporting Russia well that is not something anyone in their right minds would do. Only stupid, crazy MAGA fools. Please know, most of us are kind and want the best for all humans. I can only apologize for myself. DJT is on his own. NOT MY PRESIDENT!

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

Apply 3,000% tariffs on all US exports and charge US citizens $10k to cross the border. Further, order the evacuation of all US military staff on foreign bases to be removed within 21 days! \nThe UK and France have the nucellar deterrents to stay Trump's friend in Russia and restrict his aspirations.

As a US citizen, I apologize for the shameful way this administration is treating our closest friend and ally.

Why can't he be our president? US citizen here.

N what you mean y'all Canadian dnt want to hurt us the United States citizens really are y'all threaten us

Now I don't want to dampen the positive comments being direct to us Canadians which we all appreciate. However, I don't want people to forget that this individual talks about making things affordable for their citizens. There is a reason he has resigned. Don't forget that our country unreasonably fights itself on sooooo many things that make items in Canada so much more expensive than they need to be. I was hopeful our own government would make living more afforable for all Canadians by putting a freeze on things such as the Carbon Tax....guess that wasn't in the cards!? Together I hope that intelligence and common decency prevails.

❤????As a US citizen, I appreciate your truthfulness. Prime Minister Trudeau, I just wish we had true leadership and not foolishness in our Country!!

I can’t even imagine the US president addressing his country in it’s second language, Spanish, showing all citizens matter to him, let alone as clearly and succinctly as this. The difference in quality of communication is bewildering and astounding.

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

As a us citizen, I am with Canada!

? we just won’t let you take us for granted anymore ? how about you start focusing on not hurting your own citizens you douche ?

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.

The US citizens will be impacted by every trade war the US engages in. Every other country will only be impacted by 1 trade war with the US. We will suffer more.

Thank you Sir!\nPlease stay on!\nI am a US citizen.\nCan I come to Canada as a refugee?

So let me get the straight we are now friends with the enemy.. and made our Friends the enemy.. Oh maga.. you definitely made America great again with this move.. the Israel move you made… Inspired more hate around the world which puts US citizens at risk… Great move on with that one… and the economy tariff bull ish.. made me loose 50 percent of investments… in less than 2 months… Just incredible

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

I’m us citizen, I’m with Canada \t!

Trump extended his rudeness to all Canadians, like the country and citizens was no more than a backwater US state. Trudeau coulda referred to Trump as Donald Duck ‘da f*ck’ and it’s still more than a polite gesture in my book ?

As a citizen of the US....we are both Americans, North Americans I am glad you didn't bend the knee to our psychopathic president.

Someone is Putin’s poodle ? and it is not \nPresident Trudeau . \nAs an US citizen I congratulate Canada ?? on their courage . ❤️

As a US citizen, I'm proud of Trudeau and stand with Canada, Mexico, NATO countries and the Ukraine.

Thanks Trudummy. Dont know why we had to wait for the orange troll to kick us in the ass for you to get off yours. Too busy taxing your citizens to death and driving business to the USA I guess

He doesn't get that we elected our government and he is therefore directly insulting all US citizens. Not polite.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!
