To any Americans reading this: We love you. We have fought and died along side you on the battlefield for many years. When pearl harbor happened, we declared war on Japan before even you did. When 911 happened, we allowed your planes to land in Canada. We fed you and housed you. During the LA fires, we sent firefighters and water bombers to assist. You have always been our closest ally, and vice versa. You have always been able to rely on us. \n\nThat stops today, thanks to your president. Make your voices heard if you disagree with what is happening in your country. His diplomacy and tariffs will hurt the both of us. A lot of Trumps rhetoric is nothing but bald faced. inaccurate BS. We hope you see the truth with your own eyes and work to fix the damage Trump will cause.

As American-Ukrainian I support Canada. So ashamed of our president ?\n\nThank you, everyone, for supporting Ukraine. ????????

As American, in only one month of this presidency, I am poorer as my investments and the markets have tanked, we are fighting with country after country country for new reason, and we are hating each other more and more here in America. I’m sick of this Trump guy already.

Trudeau trunp has no allies... that is the damn sad truth for the American people, too. Sad day, & yet another day I'm embarrassed to be an American. I live in this state of shock, though I shouldn't be. He's a f'n moron. I hate this man who is supposed to be the president of the UNITED STATES. He's done nothing but cause chaos everywhere. Stick it to us Trudeau, I for one do not blame you at all. It's really pissing me off. He does not know what he's doing, nor do those around him. There is no winning with this loser.

He would have been a great American president or vice ? I appreciate when an individual brings proof

Listen to the idiots in this comment section, supporting the worst Canadian president in history. Trump is doing what America has always done, put America first. Canada is supporting Europe in pursuing the war in Ukraine, how is that a benefit to Americans.

I believe Americans must stop this fool. In my opinion he is desperately trying to destroy what took 80 years to make. He is trying to turn friends into enemies, he is trying to change America from democracy into dictatorship.\nThis is very sad. \nI hope Americans will not allow one imbecile and bunch of crazies to change your great country into land of unrest and division.\nYou must stop your president from dismantling your country.\nJust my opinion ?

This is insane! America stands with our allies. ALWAYS. I cannot believe this crap is happening! TRUMP NEEDS TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE! Americans do not want this and do not agree with this dame PRESIDENT! GOD HELP US!

You ain't reasonable nor polite Trudeau you taking advantage of Americans O V E R find yourself another idiot to play with. Trumps tariffs are long overdue so glad this is happening. We have THE BEST president ✊✊

American here. The only reason for these tariffs is because Trudeau refused to lick the boot of the orange deranged and vindictive president we have now...shameful behavior from our vindictive president.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

Anti-Americanism? It's a reaction to direct aggression and threats from your president. Nothing else.

Americans did not ask for this, did not vote for this, this was never on the table, AND YET, Donald has chosen to ignore billion of people that he, as president, is subjugated to, to enact a trade war that literally has NO benefit other than causing friction and fallout between America and our allies. This is to weaken us. This is to destroy America. WAKE UP!

Do what you got to do, Mister Trudeau, sir! We know that our orange President and his masters, Puitin and Musk, are Dictators and Tyrants. Our American Government is now corrupt. We, the people, stand with Canada! Do what ya gotta do, sir.

when Trump president American is become to stupid America!?

President Trudeau-CAN YOU PLEASE BE THE US NEW PRESIDENT???? I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP AND THINK HE IS AN ID*&T, and we as an American people SIDE WITH YOU!!!

tRump is an idiot, no deal maker, no big brain, just a small petty loser. I am embarrassed by this president, he's not my president just Maga's president. Most Americans are ashamed of this stupid regime. Pray for us, we are going to need it.

Americans: from what I see so far, this president has a vendetta against the American government becuase he was indicted on so many counts. I see a man with a vengence who wants to destroy America. Be aware of this man. He is up to no good.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. We will tighten our pockets as well. What this administration is doing is destructive. The president does not care about America, he only cares about being king.

As a 69 year old American who’s father served in the liberation of Europe with our Canadian Allies, I apologize for our poor excuse or a president, man or human being. This moron is trying to destroy our world order.

We are the smart people we did not vote for orange man to be our president as Americans we stand with you Canada and Mexico and our allies over there in Europe ✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️❤️??❤️??

Americans should be begging for this president to be their president instead of the Punch and Judy show you have in the whitehouse

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

God help us Americans who are stuck with this horrible president. I'm with our allies. No Trump and no Putin. OMGOSH, we are in deep trouble here in the US.

As an American I stand with Canada and the Ukraine. I am ashamed of trump , he should not be president. He is a disgrace as a human being.

President Trump can forgive Zelenskyy, but he should NEVER forgive Justin Trudeau, he’s the one who opened up the Northern Border and let all these millions of Illegal Indian nationals to the country! Also another major abuse, which gets unnoticed, is the TN (Trade Nafta) visa, every year nearly 50,000 Canadians (mostly, 95% Indians) moves to America and steal high paid American jobs. It’s high time to stop this abuse, Indians are using this short route to immigrate to the US, high time to put an end to it!

This is what leadership sounds like, not the rambling narcissistic grumbling that comes out of the mouths of our American President and Republican elected officials.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with an ass hat dictator we, the American people, are living with in the US. This is not my president. It’s hideous!!!!

As American, We can’t help neighbors who don’t want to help us stop murdering our citizens with drugs. America shall stay strong and have victory because they doing what’s right and fair. God bless America and president Trump.

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

10:24 This isn’t anti-Americanism. The prime minister was crystal clear that the issue is with the administration, and more specifically the president.

Canada, you are blessed in your choice of Prime Minister. Just as we Americans are condemned in our choice of President.

You go Justin! Proud to be Canadian ! Soo sad for our American friends they dont deserve this but we have no choice ! We dont deserve it either! Their president decided it was right to install tariffs on us now we have to take it but with payback. We will not stay silent.

As a U.S citizen that voted for the current President, I stand by our President ? percent. He is the one Americans voted for by the millions to be our leader.

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

As a real Hispanic American??, from Texas I stand with America ?? and President Donald J Trump ?? \n\nCanada looks like a Austin Powers scene ? they are slowly taking our freedom as well open your eyes

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

In just a few weeks, Donald Trump has demonstrated to be the worst president in American history, and apparently to be the only president who wants to destroy the economy of his own country.

Me again. I too have something to say to the Americans who are struggling. Let me ask you all something. What does a country really need to keep it going? The answer is people. With no people working to keep a country going. Then you can't really call your country a country. Let me sadly tell you this ladies and gentlemen. The America you loved and worked hard to sustain, is gone, gone and replaced by your president and his followers. America is now Trump's America. He has change everything that made your America free, peaceful and safe. And when or not you get it back. All of you need to make a decision. If you feel like your safety, life and wellness of your family is in real danger. Then if you can get out of America. Go to a country that you believe will help you and keep you and your family safe and well. Always put your families safety and health first. But if you Don't have the money or a car go leave? Then let me say. Keep fighting and don't stop fighting until this low life criminal and traitor is removed from power. I am praying for all of you who are struggling. Don't give in and don't give up.❤

Paula Newton, how dare you use the phrase anti-americanism! This is one of the most emotionally contained and dignified responses do the bullying president of the United States that I've heard so far. Trudeau has every right to be as pointed as he wants. I hate what Trump is doing and I live here! Trump doesn't speak for me. I have friends in Canada. Canadians are absolutely welcomed to help us do something to rein in the power of the dictator in training, Trump.

As an American...I wish we had PM Trudeau as our President

I ashamed of the American president, I did NOT vote for the asshat, I’m appalled that man was voted into office. He should be in prison!

This is just part of his plan as a coupe to take over our federal government, collapse our economy with hyper inflation, have his 4.5 trillion tax cuts for the wealthy while putting high tariffs on Americans. His goal is power and making billions while in office. He is trying to push a bill so he could be president a third term which is against our constitution.

The FIRST direct address to the American People by ANY President lately... Keep on it Justin!!!

I stand with President Trump I stand to protect Americans from the drug war that are killing 200 Americans per day. Justin Trudeau is going out the door he’s just wagging his tail

Please don't categorize us all with President Toupee. I stand with you Canada! We will see you in 4 years God willing. I pray that you don't hold what the administration does against the American citizens who didn't want or ask for this.

This American stands with Canada, Mexico and all other countries that are being bullied by our convicted felon president. He is a Russian troll wannabe dictaotor.????
