From America - Mr. Trudeau, thank you. We stand with you, a rational, just man. We know what you're saying is true. At this time, I wish you were our president. Side note- I called canada last week to find out how I could get a visa because I want out of this country. ❤

From the tiny Pacific Island of Papua New Guinea ??, we stand with you Canada and Ukraine.. ??..Hope the people of USA come to their senses and stand up against what this President is doing to their country..

YES. As a US citizen, I beseech world leaders to stand together for sanity and compassion in the face of the deception, manipulation, disrespect, and amoral actions of our president and his administration. \n Many of us will be applying pressure from the inside. \n May we all create a global force for healing of our modern culture's destructive ways !!!

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

The racist and the racist whites and blacks and all other racist in the United States voted for this guy and corrupted their friends who were innocent and didn’t know who to follow brainwashed them to vote for dump trump and you see the things he do and being good friends with Putin and the United States are stuck with him for another 3-4 years that’s how bad it is in most parts of America welcome to corrupt freedom and there it is but hello to our friends who still stand for democracy and the real presidents that run the country the right way we still follow behind you Obama Biden Kamala Harris and the other Democrats and not delusional republicans to stand against dictators and evil corrupt officials and evil corrupt people in this world! ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????

This man is telling the truth! I STAND WITH CANADA . I’m a US ARMY VETERAN AND IM ASHAMED OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING . Canada please give us to time to contact our government. It’s very dumb . It’s what Russia want , the enemy . Mr. president(Canada ) THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT LEADER .

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

And I STAND WITH MY PRESIDENT !! I believe you need us more than we need you . DONALD ! THATS PRESIDENT TRUMP !

This retired US Navy combat veteran stands w all our brother & sisters in Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Europe, NATO, etc!\nLet’s all call him “Donald “. or Trump, ANYTHING but President ?☮️???

Why is this Turd speaking for Canada? \n\nThe US tariffs impact US buyers. Not Canadians buyers. \n\nThese Canadian tariffs impact Canadian buyers. WTF!! The Government goes back to work to “add tax” to Canadians buying from US. Long standing relationships with the US. \n\nCalls the President “Donald”. What a disgrace. What a joke. Get rid of this guy.

Deeply ashamed to be American and that filthy parasite in the White house is NOT my president. Bravo canada standing up to that miserable bully!!

From Texas and as a business owner I stand with Canada and Mexico a 100%.... I am ashamed to have Donald as president he's such a fool

Well said, PM Trudeau. I'm a voting US citizen, yes, but donald's behavior this past week I cannot endorse or support. I think he has lost his mind. I'm ashamed, too, of his treatment this week of President Zelenskyy while at the WH. I applaud Zelenskyy for not being intimidated by foxx news as they sought an apology for standing up to the dual attack he suffered there. Stand your ground, I am not alone here.

From Texas, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. Donald is a bully. Not my president.

As an American I’m soooooo happy Canada is standing up to this dumb loser president and his side chick Elon musk ?

Thank you for doing what Congress should have done and standing up against this nightmare of a president!

This American stands with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. There's no other way to put it: our president is setting about to wreck our nation. He either doesn't know he's doing it -- or doesn't care. Either way, he's incompetent. And he's in bed with a horrible, violent dictator.

Wait a minute so youre an American that stands with your ally, even when they rip of your country through trade? & because your president recognizes a powerful world leader like Putin and knows peace with him is better than war???? Like are yall forreals??

As a Canadian I stand with President D J Trump

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

We the people Stand with President Trump??

True American Patriots stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Civilized Nations that were US Allies.\nWe do not support those who stand with Fascists Putin, Maduro, Bolsonaro, Un, Orban and Their puppets: president muskrat and his Sloppy seconds

As an American I stand with our President DJT we don't need u Canada you can stop piggyback our military protection

From Connecticut… I am ashamed to be a US citizen with this man as our president. I stand with you Canada! ?? Please stay strong!

I wish I wasn't American. I wish I lived in Canada.. We stand with you. So sorry we have toddler as our President..

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

The majority of Americans elected President Trump and stand behind him!

Canadians dont even like this guy. I stand with our president!

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

we stand with President Trump and the USA....

From Georgia, I stand with Canada 100%. trump is a traitor and a criminal. I do not accept him as president. I am ashamed of America and I apologize with all my heart for what trump is doing. I did not vote for him and never would! I love Canada and will always support you!

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

You wanna work “with” us because you can’t afford our tariffs I stand with President Donald Trump it’s not our job to make sure your economy can thrive that’s is why we are separate countries. Donald Trump knows what he’s doing, sometimes people have to focus on themselves and their own country thriving and not worry about extending a helping hand to every other country. A real man wouldn’t sit up there crying about a tax, Man up Trudeau.

As an American, I stand with Canada. We have the biggest dumb ass bully as our president and it’s shameful. The people who voted for that orange turd can suffer. It’s so dumb to impose tariffs on our closest allies. Ordinary Americans will suffer because of this.

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Good for Canada the republicans in congress are spineless to stand up to the felon president Trump and are allowing him to be a fascist tyrant. As an American it hurts to see how Trump treats allies and how he embraces enemies like Putin, North Korea and others. As painful as it will be I hope the free world does what the Republicans are scared to do and that is stand up to Trump and put him in his place!

Good, decent, intelligent Americans ABHOR OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT. This is a dictatorship. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and our EU allies 100%. These crazy people have taken over and they are DEMOLISHING America.

This clown thinks the US markets are down because of Canada, what a joke. Mexico, Canad a s China together make up only 24% of the US GDP, in contrast Canada's is a 67% of their GDP, so if the US does buy from you, you my friend will feel it more. We stand with our president, American first.

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

I stand with President Trump, promises made, promises kept. It’s hard to make change in the beginning, but this is the face of change!

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.

I am an American and i am with you mr Canadian president and we stand with Ukraine

We don’t care we stand with president trump and his agenda of America first. Canada invited millions of students across the world and dumped into usa ?? unexpected

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

I am so proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up and speaking up like many of us here wish our president could and would

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

11:55 of course trump was not interested in doing a LEGAL minerals deal with Canada, he would rather join putin and STEAL President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people mineral wealth. That is the ONLY reason putin invaded Ukraine. For Ukraine mineral wealth ? much love from The Bahamas to President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people ??????? keep fighting for your country and democracy. Hats off to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing firm against trump and doing the right thing #glorytoUkraine #TheBahamas #242ToTheWorld #Canada
