I need to apologize to the world on behalf of all the non cult-led people here, for the evil in power holding us hostage here in America. I'm heartbroken to be American. I'm devastated the WHOLE WORLD hates us now.

America with Tramp is over, America is full of stupid and ignorant people, America's name as the hope of the world was destroyed once and for all, now it's a shame to say you're an American because the whole world hates America, shame on America

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

The American people don't want tariffs on no country, this is unfair and we all will suffer for this stupid plan,this is Trumps plan and uncalled for. I am disgusted with Trump siding with Putin and Russia ,he has sold out the American people and Trump and Musk has siding with Putin. Wake up America and protest against these tariffs ,I am disgusted with Trump, please stand up to secure our democracy. I am mad and disgusted.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

I am an American. I want to apologize for our idiot president. With luck he will be gone soon. America loves Canada. Trump just likes to hurt people and break things fo his boss, Putin.

More and more obvious every day. Trump is owned by PUTIN! He acts as an enemy toward we American people, and toward our true allies. He MUST be removed from power immediately. He is compromised and unfit to lead or to represent the real United States of America!! Just look at all the damage he has done already!!!

As a America we have some sorry kiss behind no back bone chicken liver republicans and the gullible people who voted for him. You guys was lie to con and hoodwink. Trump sold a pile dream congratulation

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Drugs is nothing but an excuse… Canada isn’t sending drugs… we don’t have the population to make enough drugs to supply the USA. That’s literally the dumbest excuse and if Americans believe that they are dumber than I thought. If your having people or drugs coming in to you country then fix whatever your border agents are doing that’s allowing that. Use your head America… you’re loosing your freedom to a tyrant.

Trump is a bully it was never about the opioid crisis because he doesn’t give a crap about people we are not against the people of America, it’s your president. That’s the bully and all his caucus.

Some many soft ass people that know nothing of this world ?. America on top always

Yep, let all of the world countries be great again, except US. This is what America people desire.

The truth of American arrogance and ignorance was on full display when it decided that a proven liar and convicted felon was the best person to lead America and represent the values it stands for. Trump voters were quite happy with the prospect of other people and countries suffering, but let's see how they handle their own suffering. It must be very confusing for most Americans to hear a politician speak logically and rationally like this.

In Europe people are boycotting US products and it’s going to be an escalation in the boycott day after day.. I won’t buy anything from US from today and I bought every car I possessed from America and so did every member of my family because we are fans of this brand I’m not going to mention..

Your right I did not vote for Trump I did not like his firstTerm and he is much worse now I am a Independent voter the people they have running are all full of shit The USA IS GOING UNDER and unless we stand together to Impeach the whole white house we are in trouble I am going to a few of those rallies and I am hoping some how we can Impeach all Republicans and get them the hell out of the USA once and for all God Bless we the people in America we don't stick together you can count on World War lll and I Blame it totally on Trump and the brain washed Republicans mark my words your going to regret it I think alot of you are already Will Good Luck To All

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

America doesn't support the trade war, just Trump and his people.

I am american. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. None of this makes sense. Trump is a Treasonous traitor Putins puppet and a domestic terrorist with a maga cult taking a hostel government takeover for Putin. \nTrump is doing Putins bidding destroying America from within. He doesn't care about you, Ukraine or the American people. He lies and spreads Russian propaganda.

America's people need to invoke the 25th amendment.......comrade trumpski is not fit for office of anything yet the highest office on this planet

Now that Extortionist/2025 Dictator has Unleashed his Tariffs and saying it's about Fentanyl is just a cover up for Something Devious? I Truely feel that he is doing this to Align himself with Genocidal putin. He doesn't Care about People just like Terrorist putin that marches his own Troops to their Death. AMERICA, WE NEED TO ORGANIZE / PROTEST AND VOTE THIS EVIL EMPIRE OUT!!!!

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.

At this juncture the whole world have seen how ignorant American voters are by allowing this low profile exconvict and a draft dodger to dictate for a country like America , TRUMP himself is illitrate forget about the English language the man knows nothing when it comes to international politics and how American foreign policies work , a man with zero experience public office how can he rule but guess what American people deserve everything thats been happening to them , they better stfu and deal with it

Here is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\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+%\n\nTrumps responsibility as the President of The United States of America is to the American people.

It honestly feels like an personal vendetta by Trump against America itself.\nHe's doing all he can to shrink it's working active government, sever ties with all it's allies, and screw over it people\n\nIs this revenge for not getting his second term? For them trying to jail him?\n\nIt feels like an massive F U to his country.

Stay Strong Canada We are trapped here in the USA this is not America anymore American on truly support what you have to do... as far as the jobs he's already laying people off all over the place he's taken away or Healthcare he's taken away or Freedom he's taken away a financial Social Security and Medicare soon

Looks like the billionaires want to teach the American people a lesson. That is don't expect the rich to pay their fair share for anything. The working class can pay for everything. Because in America we tax work not wealth.

Trump wants the World to collapse so his billionaires and america can buy up the stock market and dominate the World. It’s not trade blocks, it’s Dictator blocks. If that doesn’t work he’ll invade Canada and Mexico most likely and just take it. At this point, I hope America implodes. Either way it’s a mass suicide. Trump isn’t a smart man, he’s an evil man. And people who persist in making excuses for this creature are just traitors, the lowest of the low, stupid, greedy war mongers.

Why are we blaming fentanyl on Canada and Mexico? Or even China or Colombia, or wherever the hell it's produced? Last I checked, there were no Mexicans or Canadians coming over here and injecting people with syringes in the middle of the street.\nThe US refuses to legalize drugs, or even decriminalize them... and then we're surprised how there is a rampant black market with - gasp - unsafe drugs. GTFOH (, America).

Trump is a moron. He's hurting the USA people not helping. He's not making America Great, he's making America suffer.

Boo boo, don’t care. It’s time that the countries we support show some love back. In our time of need we are getting ghosted but everyone expects America to just to attention when there is a conflict or someone needs money. No one cares about our financial needs or our battle with the cartels and illegal immigration. Then screw them. If they want to leave us high and dry because they like the old way of doing things, aka syphoning off Americas wealth, then they can get ghosted right back. I know this will get hate because the people who support CNN are mostly trump haters, but oh well. There’s gonna be a lot of pain before the soothing comes because of all the damage that’s been done. My heart goes out to those suffering, you’re not alone, we’re all in this hoping for a better America.

But is trump acting as a person who for sure cares n love the people of America ??..or he doesn't it for himself.... people are indeed going through the economic crisis n now see this today..!!

I'm not a fan of Justin Trudeau by any means, HOWEVER... Hearing his speech just now filled me with pride to be Canadian and standing up to the new autocratic fascist government of our southern neighbour. I've watched over the last +/- 40 days the UnUnited States of America devolve into Russia's lap dog, with Putin's excrement on Orange Man's face on a near daily basis. I hope that whatever good people left down there can rise up and take back their country ASAP, otherwise the entire world will suffer the catastrophic consequences!

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

The Good smart thinking people in America ?? do NOT want ? Trump making bad relations with Canada ?.

Trump has made us the enemy of every country except Russia. Not smart. The u.s will feel this. When people like Warren Buffet says this is an act of war well if you have spent time in the military you know trade wars are acts of war. America brace yourself.

Im out, i love America, God bless America and the tough , take no shit American people..and F crooked Canada gaining wealth from ripping us off....

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

I used to be a huge fan of America. I truly believed it was the world’s policeman, the guiding force for justice and freedom. I looked up to the country, admiring its strength, its values, and the way it stood for what was right. I even wished my own country could be more like that. \n\nBut America is no longer what it once was. It’s heartbreaking to see how a once-free and hopeful nation has transformed into something so divided, hostile, and unpredictable. A country that once stood by its friends now turns its back on them. A nation that once fought for unity now thrives on division and conflict. \n\nThere are still many good people in America, and the country is not beyond hope. But deep down, every American must realize—this is not the right path. This is not who you are meant to be. \n\nWake up before it’s too late.

America's economy will collapse in 2025 banks will close and people won't be able to get money out of ATMs there will be no gas because all businesses will shut down. This is what happens when you put a clown in the White House.

is the 77 million people still trust him? Lets make America singe again.

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.

Trudeau is speaking the truth to the American people. Will , Our Red States, listen? I don't know. I do know the current U.S. Administration is acting against America and it's citizens and it must stop NOW!

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

You believe in working together until you force your Truckers to take shots like farm animals, then you shut down their banks, then you stole their bitcoin. Don't lecture us about working together. Your own people can't stand you, and neither can we. I think it's an honor that President Trump calls you Governor, because you are terrible at leading a country. We care about you as a human, and a person created in the image of God, but most Americans are very unhappy with you lack of leadership, and style of tyrannical incompetence. Canada would be much better off with America's constitution and wealth. If you really want to work with America, let the people decide. America loves Canada and we welcome you with open arms.❤

Less than 1% of the population in America is in our Military. 1% of our problems coming from Canada is a lot of people and drugs.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

Keep your goods and tge drugs out of America citzens lives ok hello !! Ya you do cheat country!! Wow !! To bad Canadian people!! ?????❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
