As an American, I stand with Canada. What an impressive and absolutely compassionate speech.

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????

I appreciate Prime Minister Trudeau! And I have much respect for Canada! ?? ? \nI’d like to see us recover relations with our allies and strengthen communication so we all can work together toward peaceful resolutions. This will help trade as well as climate concerns. \nIt Certainly Can Be Done! We must bring the best communicators to the table. \n(And begin with prayer because all peace begins with God!) ??️?

Do Americans understand what will happen if Mexico and Canada unite to organize a boycott against America? Do Americans realize their president is acting as a proxy for the Russian government? What more do people need to know to realize that their president is a Russian operative.

Supporting the great countries of Canada and Mexico and all of Europe from Kentucky. Sincerest Apologies for the extortionist in chief, his inexcusably unqualified bootlickers and the republican traitors in congress.

Canada has a smart, intelligent leader.

So jealous Canada has a real adult in power unlike our elected baby and cheif and our unelected billionaire baby

American here and I stand with Canada ?The world is going to hit back hard against our country because Trump arrogance

Maybe that Donald guy is just taking his revenge on America first.\nHe already stated that Canada and Mexico are to be annexed and we all agree that he's doing everything he said so far, literally. If he really moves his 100k+ troops out of Europe as he said I bet my ass that these soldiers are going straight to the U.S. borders, just like Russia did moments before invading Europe. I assume he'll stop there, anyway. Otherwise it means I'm in a coma at hospital right now, and all of this is a weird fever dream.

I wonder if Americans are aware a trade war with Canada will decimate the auto industry.

Absolutely fuck Trump, that fetid piece of dog feces. NOBODY WANTS THIS except those who gain to profit, I am certain that will not be the vast majority of Americans nor Canadians. You are hurting families and businesses that cannot withstand the state sponsored games. I hope to god people get out there and bring this silliness to an end. I cannot abide this, attack closest and most beloved allies. I cannot even...\n\nTo my friends and family In Canada and the US, stay strong, don't give in to the rhetoric.

Absolute support here to Canada from Scotland UK, also representing South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. ?????????????????

What the f**k is wrong with our US leadership! I am soooo ashamed of our current leadership. This is awful! I love Canada!!!

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your courageous and truthful words. U.S. citizens know Canada isn't acting against U.S. citizens, but against the U.S. Federal government as well it should. Canadians are lucky to have you in your role. I wish we here in the U.S. had someone of your caliber in the White House.

We stay with Canada. Greetings from EU Germany

Sorry Canada I don't want this at all and I didn't vote for him #ImpeachDonaldTrump #notMyPresident

VIVA CANADA CABRONES!!!

Yes this move does look like it could be connected to Putin. If Canada financially struggle then they can't help if needed with the war in Ukraine which is a plus for Putin. Bad move Trump US could be left out in the cold in future if he starts doing this to his allies and siding with Russia. Wake up Trump you're going down the wrong Path.

Canada, as an American, I stand with you. I’m so terribly sorry and embarrassed about all of this.

As an American, I stand with you Canada. Pray for the 92% in America.

Americans love Canada. Sirry for the asshole

I am an American, but I stand by Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

The world is supporting Canada.

I am American. But I don't blame Canada!Trump the devil. Way to go.

Long Live Canada we stand in guard for thee

so the tariffs on canada are exactly the amount of the tariffs put on the united states, why don't you guys even admit that, do you know that? dirky dir

He called him just Donald!!!!!? I find this side of Canada ?? sexy!!!!

Canada will fold.

We don't need you, Canada. We prefer to do business with the great President Vladimir

American here. So sorry for the way Canada has been treated by our so called President and his administration who are trying to destroy our country and our reputation across the globe. We do not agree with what he is doing, understand that we don’t agree. Hopefully we can get our relations across the world back to the way it was. SOON MY FRIENDS SOON

This is about Trump's greed. He wants Canada's assets. The drug thing was just an excuse.

Support for Canada from Australia - Boycott US Made good and isolate the US from World Trade.

Trudeau has a big mouth and soon Trump is going to close it i hope Trump takes over Canada and puts Trudeau in prison or what ever he sees fit for Trudeau

There tariff's Trump is levying on Canada are BS. Less than 1% of illegal migration comes from Canada and 0.02% of all Fentanal comes into the US from Canada. Conversely, The US imports over half its oil from Canada, and 45% of its gas from Canada.

I'm an American who did not vote for the boar in the white house. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Greenland and Panama. Trump is behaving as if he made a deal with Putin to destroy the American economy and America's international relationships. We are making enemies of all our allies.

America got one big madness President at the White House. We believe he already open the Bank of America to receive 25 percent from Canada ?? , 25 percent from Mexico ?? and another 10 percent from China ??. These tariffs (taxes) are for US government work? Trump is that Federal government himself. Gurrentee the prices will go up .Trump does care about the poor but himself. This is very bad for partnership with Canada? Trau speak the truth

My message to Trudeau: I understand your decision and sympathized with Canada for a problem that Canadians had no control over. Please ban tesla and Starlink in Canada in addition to the other measures you are taking

Baltimore Stands With Everyone, Except President Tramp And Putang. Baltimore Stands With Canada. Slava Ukraine ??

As an American, I stand with PM Trudeau and Canada and I'm ashamed at what the United States has become.

Supporting Canada, Ukraine, Europe in the battle with dictatorship of trump

I think the world of good and democratic people should join together against this tyrannical autocratic and completely lying government of the USA find other trade and manufacturing partners- mineral rights of Ukraine to Canada and Europe…. This mr. trump is ruining our lives - and of course - I did not vote for him….

Make no mistake. The Tariff talk started right after Canada's reaction to Trump's demand that Canada become the 51st state. That's what this is all about. Nothing to do with Fentynal. You can bet Putin had a hand in this as well. Well done US. You are now a Puppet State of Russia. How long before Russian replaces Spanish as the second, and then first language of the US?

You are so justified. Most Americans are embarrassed and furious with the behavior of our newly elected president. Canada, you are my friend.

I'm from Jamaica, we stand with Canada

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

Love CANADA ?? we are with you ?❤

God bless Canada! Canada should be the shining example of how the US should act. Shame on the orange turd!!!

Trumps playbook is easy to read. He puts down the economy with tariffs, buys millions of stocks when they are cheap and then he stops the tariffs saying Mexico and Canada have successfully stopped fentanyl. Economy goes back up and he just got richer on all of your backs.

Such a scathing rebuke !! Never in my life would i have imagined this between Canada and the US .?

Canada may become 51st state of USA...????
