Im sorry but i gotta say i do not agree with our government and president never have ever since 2016. Looks like i never will too since our people are so invested in teams and the propaganda spewed from both sides that actual issues get muddied.

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!

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Most of US doesn’t agree with this policy and philosophy shift.

I agree with Trudeau. Trump's tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl and migrants! They are all about how Trump, Putin, and Musk are attempting to literally....CONTROL THE WORLD!

It's not all of us Americans that agree with most of this s_ _ t, I'm very sorry about all this!

Hey americans I know you don´t agree with what is going on so go on the STREETS and PROTEST! Let them see and feel what you see and feel! C´mon I know you have it in you. Don´t let this orange, russian and the two fat asian tyrants win because thats whats going on. And if this keeps going on like its going on it will end that we will fight each other and why should we do that. For what?

Trump wants Trudeau gone, impo, and while I agree that he needs to be gone asap, this is NOT the way to go about it. Carney will come in and he’s even more of an extremist than Trudeau. This is only going to hurt the citizens of BOTH countries. Pierre is the only hope and he can’t get in fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

Please do not categorize Americans with trump administration the smart sane Americans never agree with Trump the biggest shit show in the world

I think these words mean nothing, one shoudl look at actual data. There have been a tremendous imbalance between the US and most of the world. US produces so much, have so many resourcers but could not compete. Instead, they were forced to open operations in foreign countries, which does not benefit US taxpayers. You like it or not, US was on a downhill if other countries would not agree to make American products competitive.

As a Canadian who served this is the first time I'm agreeing with Trudeau ever.

Whether you agree with his politics or not, aTHIS IS HOW A TRUE LEADER deals with something that affects their country. He’s not screaming, crying, and throwing a tantrum while laying on the floor. Good for Canada! I say don’t cut off the power but put a 100% surcharge on it. Give the extra cash to your people to help with any negative financial issues they may face.

I agree Trump is being played by Putin!

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am ashamed of Trump. I do not agree with his rudeness and his shameful disrespect. Stand strong Canada. There are Americans standing with you.

True Leadership!\nI am a United States citizen and I agree with and applaud everything you said today!\nOur President is a reckless and lawless individual.\nMay God bless both of our wonderful Nations!

I've no doubt that Trump has already agreed with Putin to import energy products from Russia, even though Congress passed a bill in 2022 to ban the imports, he just needs an excuse to get the ban lifted.

Dear Canada: Please know that most of the citizens in US are appalled by all of the horrible things going on. Trump and Musk and all the rest that agree with this horror show are despicable.

As an American I agree with Canada. Trump is out of his mind hope we impeach him Fast. Pray for us.

We understand it's not your fault. As a us 16 year Army National Guard Veteran. I approve this message and agree 100% with. TRUMP WATCH ⌚️. Trump as turned against the American and our friends. We want you out of the White House. No one voted for this.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

We agree with Canada.

I agree with him and I'm American

you would agree with ms.piggy. you pig

No fan of Trudeau's liberal policies. But this is a coherent understandable speech that agrees with all sense of logic reasoning. Best wishes for the Canadian people from The Netherlands

It’s despicable how the leadership of our country ?? is moving and what’s crazy is they think it’s a big flex. I also agree, this tariff war is novice at best. Canada doesn’t deserve this.

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

A lot of us Americans don't agree with what the Trump administration is doing.

Let's say, you and I agree to refer business to one another. One year later you refer $100,000 worth of business to me, and I refer $100. Would you want to re-examine the current relationship, and make appropriate changes? Same principles apply here

Trump is causing such a stir, Canadians are agreeing with Trudeau!

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

I have to agree that Canadians are reasonable and polite and as an everyday American I wish I could stop trumps madness but I can’t. ?

I’m so sorry for my country. I am embarrassed and don’t agree with any of this.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Thank you President Trudeau. We American Citizens agree you are right! This is Trump's fault! We will mend our relationship after Trump leaves office.

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

He called Trump a weak leader and the world agrees.?

Canadas biggest sell out! Carbon tax x4 coming april first yet we pollute the least!! Liberal government needs to go!!! Dont agree with what trump is doing but the working class of canada has been robbed by this guy.. time to help canada first

Maga Republicans the party of IDIOTS ! THIS AMERICAN AGREES WITH CANADA.?

Good job all of you Countries need to stand up for yourselves because we Americans don’t agree with this either and we stand behind you all because being a bully is never a good things and Trump and Vance is putting all Americans at risk with the moves they are playing trying to run the World.Well you know what in all reality Trump and Vance does not care about the American people only the Billionaires he is beside including Elon.So Zelensky get with Canada and other European countries and hold your own against Russia.Putin is evil and Trump is his friend period and will back Russia before he does NATO

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Please don't think we the people agree with what's happening. I love Canada I've spent many wonderful times in Canada. I don't understand how this can be happening. Please don't blame us the people we don't want this either.❤❤❤❤

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

Normally i veiw this guy as a twat. I mean, i still do, but for once, i agree. Amercian take your government back. You work hard, you deserve to retire and live on the retirement funds you worked your whole life for. You deserve a health care that actually cares for you, you deserve a education system that does justice for your kids. You shouldn't fear sending your children to school, with bulletproof backs. Worried if they have light up shoes it'll give away their position in an emergency. \n\nImpeach that orange prick and take your government back.

But you didnt do any of that border security until trump came along. I dont agree with tariffs, but all countries are now pulling their socks up.

i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.

I always like Canada president, and i am from the US. I don't agree with Trump, but he has taken over our government, and no one seems to be doing anything about this!!

Finally an outsider shaking things up. I may not like Trump but at least he’s doing something. Not too long ago everyone agreed career politicians were a cancer. Now everyone on the side of career politicians. Make that make sense lol

Is this Nafta #3? Didn't Drump agree to Nafta #2.Trudeau is soooo pretty. Dam!

To all of our allies. trump do not speak for us. We, Americans, still value our friendship and partnership with you. We do NOT agree with trump!

I detected NO LIES........... please don't say AMERICANS because all of us don't AGREE with the American dictator! So glad I BELIEVE IN GOD! everything this man said is CORRECT! GOD HELP US??

You to talk to your people Trump win the election and one of the promises and we American agree to protect our borders ,God bless president Trump and God bless America ??.
