As an American I’m SO disappointed in our current administration and president, respect to Canada…

What it must be like to have a stand up, compassionate yet serious person as your leader. I am truly jealous Canada.

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

Canada got a taste of the same medicine which other south asian countries were taking for so long.

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.

Supporting Canada and just cannot understand what is going on with the USA. Great speech!

Makes zero sense to beef with Canada ??

As an American, i stand by Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? thank you so much Canada for standing up against our dictator.

I STAND BEHIND CANADA ALL THE WAY

As a American.. i stand with Canadas decision.. its unfortunate that we have a child a felon a Russia loving president.. if which i can't believe people voted in to destroy America.. Go for it Canada.. fuck Trump..

Trump doesn't care who he hurts. He and Vance stand by Putin! Trump should have negotiated with Canada and not threatened to start a war with Us.. more than a trade war. Trump wants to help Putin take Ukraine and then he hopes his buddy Putin will help annex Canada! It will be war.. we will not give Canada to backstabbers and murderers!

Let’s trade. All dems move to Canada and all conservatives move to USA. Trade war settled !!

As an American, I wish Canada and Europe godspeed. There are too many morons ready and willing to trade away our freedoms and republic for promises of authoritarianism. If the world does not want to deal with an American dictatorship, it must act now. The masses in America have been insulated from the consequences of their decisions for too long. Appeasement will only lead those masses to believe that these tactics work.

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

This American will be flying the flags for Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. The US flag will be upside down.

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods already \n\n⁃ Dairy Products:\n⁃ Milk: 270%\n⁃ Cheese: 245%\n⁃ Butter: 298%\n⁃ Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n⁃ Barley: 160%\n⁃ Wheat: 94%\n⁃ Sugar: 265%\n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295%\n⁃ Rice: 150%\n⁃ Vegetables: 100%\n⁃ Fish Products: 100%\n⁃ Lumber: 20%\n⁃ Shoes: 30%\n⁃ Cocoa: 30%\n⁃ Metals: 25%\n⁃ Wool: 30%\n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%

From Poland ❤ to Canada.

Yeah thats why Canada hates him and will kick him from office lmao.

Canada imports food from the US. So 25% tariffs on that food will hit Canadians big time. And there is no other place to get that food. I am afraid Trudeau is standing on glass legs.

From Ireland standing with Canada and the Ukraine

Huh??? This guy has already ruined Canada, with his vicious lockdowns, his going after truckers and freezing bank accounts of those who supported them. He banned the sale of guns. But praises China, he is a Communist a do why does CNN prop this guy up???

I hate being stuck on the wrong side. Such an elegant leader Canada has. We Americans that don’t agree with our president are stuck with his embarrassing actions and his cabinet members that are very unqualified to be in their positions. Unbelievable. \nDump the Trump!

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

Trudeau is the most impressive leader of the Western world. If only Canada could join the EU.

WE STAND WITH CANADA❣️

I'm from Michigan and I'm standing with Canada,Bonespurs is the most dangerous insurrectionist racist sociopath corrupt unpatriotic person in America history when can my family become a citizen this country is too evil

An average American says.......WE ARE SORRY CANADA !!! Forgive the fools that voted for #Drump.

? We want a NORMAL president too!! O, Canada ?? tough love, I get it

I like Canada but not a fan of this guy. Seems like he just wants revenge for a fair trade. Our relations are not deteriorating.

If you want to stand tall against the most powerful country in the history of Earth, let's see how long you stand. Canada is not an equal. Proud Republicans who support the POTUS should to the best of their abilities boycott Canadian products. USA cannot continue on its current path. Our grandkids will be paying $20 a gallon of milk and $1,000,000 for a run down house. USA needs change and no one until Trump offered any real change. USA saved Europe in WW2 and rebuilt Europe afterwards. If they don't want to be a friend of the USA, that will weaken them, not us

Canada to join the EU?

This American doesn't support Trump.'s insane policies. I'm sorry Canada & Mexico.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Canada and the EU should come closer together and show them how strong cooperation can be! ❤

Canada has been ripping United States for many years. And Trudeau is a crooked politician

Canada MAY be our friends but Trudeau is leading them down a bad path. We don’t need ANY of your products. We will produce our own or do without before being scammed or paying up front for goods to ‘be rendered,.Let them rot on the docks or in the fields. Maybe China will buy them at half price

Don't let Trump bully you into giving in. We support Canada not MAGA!

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

How about Canada annex Wisconsin? Healthcare, affordable drugs, sane leadership sounds good to me! Got milk, Canada? You could have all the milk, cheese and beer that Wisconsin has to offer ?

lol…Canada has no balls to retaliate US by hitting tariffs all in one go. Cowards

Canada sells us 250 billion dollars more than they buy of our stuff so boo hoho Americans are sick of r so called allies screwing us

Stand aside, Trump. You've been kicked to the curb by a true leader in North America. Canada, and Mexico have shown the world how intelligent leadership and courage crushes whatever the random Russian-sucking fuck that Trump does.

I'm a American and to be honest I'm proud of Canada

Rudeness is a weak imitation of strength. Thank you Canada for accelerating Trump’s way out of the WhiteHouse.-from a FilAm ?? ??

That’s why Canada wins the war: they will look after the people that suffer, I imagine the Americans are expected to die on the streets ?

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Hey folks, don’t come visit Canada this year. It’s not gonna be a good year.

I stay with the gentle and stable strength of Canada. From inside the U.S.\n\nMany of us are resisting the Trump regime.

I could care less for Canadas tariffs. I’m willing to pay more to pay for products made in other countries

La France est avec le Canada ?? ??
