As an American, I want to apologize to Canadians for this completely unnecessary crisis. tRump (aka Krasnov) is obviously working with Russia to dismantle the US. Thank you for standing up to this egregious violation of the Oath of Office and the trust of the American people (not that I ever trusted this traitorous mob). I applaud your actions!

American and North Dakota resident here. Ashamed and embarrassed to even be associated with the US and the heinous actions of our government. Stay strong Canada. We are with you! ????\n\nAlso…. While we’re at it — Any chance you guys have room for one more?? ??\n\nPls?? \n\n…For the LaHve of GawEd??\n\nh a L p. ?

I am American and so many of us love Canada and Trudeau! Unfortunately people are realizing they made a big mistake voting for Trump! This nation is in so much trouble and for the first time in my life I am afraid of what’s ahead for us.

We (the American people) don't care what you have to say Trudeau or how you feel about anything our president does, Get bent , Aye. You don't scare us?

From Italy, i stand with Canada , EU and Ukraine. The US has been hijaked by a foreign asset that is doing anything in his power to destroy US economy and relations , any other American president than truly want the best for his nation wouldn't act like this, that's EXACTLY what US adversaries want.\nHopefully the remaining non brainwashed Americans act soon and stop this national security threat before it's too late.

As an American I support everything you are doing!! I respect your countries position. As an American I will endure until Trump is forced out of office. I’m praying for our country and for your country as well as our allies that had been there for us. I’m in my seventh decade and can’t believe this is happening. Peace and prayers.

If all the Nations Trump is insulting These weeks get rid of American Social Media and Software that would be very Hard on Both sides but a nail in the coffin for the US

American, that absolutely supports Canada…. Granted Im a black American, so let that sit in…. I’m sorry we had ignorant people who put racism and bigotry of valuing our democracy. Pray for all of us…

As an American we are ashamed, absolutely ashamed of what Trump is doing. God have mercy! I wish so much things could be otherwise. Praying for us all. ?❤️ As an American we don’t want this!!!

So let me get this straight us Americans don't have the right to change the tariffs and what kills me is that when it affects you now you complain about it and that it's not fair. So what it says is that you knew it's always not been fair but you've never cared but now it affects you that's why you're complaining.

As an American, most of us with brains don’t want this either. Why can’t Trump’s narcissistic ass just let shit go. Oh wait. He’s a narcissist.

As a US citizen who didn't vote for the president (Trump) we have who is corrupt, self- serving and would have gone to prison if he had not been voted as president. I too am appalled at what he and his minions have done already. \nI understand what Canada has to do to protect itself. I support Canada.I feel for the Canadian people. Trump is a scourge to our country. Prime Minister Trudeau is too kind to Trump of being smart. He is not smart. He is hurting the American people in so many ways and he does not care. \nThank-you Prime Minister Trudeau and God bless the Canadian people and God bless the American people that didn't vote for Trump .

I’ve been more afraid of being an American Citizen than I’ve ever thought conceivable. But more so I’m ashamed, ashamed that my fellow citizens voted in that monstrosity and his bottom feeder cabinet members and ‘friends’. Ashamed that the rest of us didn’t apparently work hard enough to keep him out.

American here. There's plenty of us who are disgusted by this tyrannical administration.

As an American, did that weasel Trudeau just threaten us?! Um, he better backstep while he still has time. Canada has NO product that we Americans cannot replace with an American made one in a matter of months. Fertilizer is an easy one, Our farmers just need to go back to using natural animal/yuman waste which is ecactly what used to be done. It even saves farmers billions $ because they create a use for waste they now pay to have to process for removal. Lumber and products are also an easy fix. We Americans have millions of acres of timber that actually NEEDS regular harvest to reduce the forest fires that plague us yearly. The list goes on, and not a single item cannot be MADE IN AMERICA that we currently get from Canada.

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

All of these comments from Americans, saying you stand with Canada. Trump is just doing the same thing Canada has done to us. You people need to research the tariffs Canada has implemented in the past. Trump isn't going to let Canada and Ukraine use America anymore.

This American stands with Canada ?? Best neighbor any country could hope to have. God bless Canada and may God help us all…

I don't blame you guys, just know and understand that not all Americans voted for this. Please pray for us.?

Your country is now going to go broke cuck boy Trudeau, your a liberal slime that has ruined that country. This will hurt Canadians a whole lot more than Americans, pack your stuff, move on and sign over your country to us! 51st state of Canada, you can’t weather this storm, your already broke.

I'm an American embarrassed of this administration. Just give us all of the tarrifs ? this trade war needs to end.

Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

Canada is soo much more ahead. Shaming the Canadian pm,doesnt help to disguise the screw ups coming from the US.. \n\nCanada shows having balls& self respect. \n\nMany countries can learn from their insights..\n\nCNN,.. write this down in paper... And read it back.. \n\nCNN ( the US one) need to get look at themselves,the attitude is beyond arrogant. \n\nYou forget that the whole world sees the tricks youve played for decades. \nManipulating/suggesting .. \nPlease.. Americans,canadians,europeans, asian citizens Arent that dumb.. stop behaving that we are..

there is no point in speaking to donald trump as if he is an american who cares about america. he doesnt. he is bought and paid for by russia and only works for THEM not us. hes a traitor and a disgrace

There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

Canada, as an American, I am so sorry! This government does NOT represent all of us. I am embarrassed at how this is being handled by my government. It is bullying, it is wrong. I am so sorry.

Donald will never understand that this is how adults talk. Dumpy Don is a vulgarian, a traitor to his country, and a Russian asset. We the American People are so very screwed. The stock market is plunging. Inflation is up. This is what Dumpy Don has given us. Are we winning yet?

I'm an American, and I'm embarrassed by our a-hole president. Please feel free to dump on him as much and often as you wish has so many of us are behind.

As an American, I am rooting for you Canada. Give us a black eye. We need it

Im with Canada! Said a us American

I am a Canadian and I love America and the American people. I hope we can put this behind us sooner rather than later there is no need for any tension between us. We always have each other‘s back. With that said, I would like to see Canada step up to certain obligations, including with NATO, but as far as a trade work goes, this is not good.

If we read how trump speak about governor Trudeau it's cleat Trump wants to make canada and Mexico the Ukraine of the north America! Maybe it's time to hit back at trump/VANCE AND CUT THE ELECTRICITY AND OIL OF ALBERTA RIGHT NOW ! AND KICK THOSE 2 CLOWNS OUT OF THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE CAUSE AMERICANS WILL SUFFER JUST LIKE US WITH THOSE STUPID TARRIFS

MAN..,, you’re living in a fantasy world if you truly believe everything you said, and apparently no one you know is affected by the atrocities done not to mention national security, which protects us against all enemies! The veterans who fought for us! The seniors who worked hard for their Social Security! And the aid not only for foreign but for all Americans! Do you want Ebola to get here from Uganda? And what they’re doing to our children education and necessary, medical aid, and

From Germany here ... This is such a breath taking speech. There is someone in the US that has changed all good and all bad. The Americans have to solve their problems by themselfs. But we - we, the rest of the world, the democrats, the reasonables, the thoughtfull, we have to stand together, to work together, and to help, and if necessary, to fight together. Till all that BS in the US comes to an end!

Apple, Taiwan, Japan, and honda already invested billions of dollars to America just to avoid tariffs. Like trump said, everything will be built in US soil, from steel, cars, technology chips, etc. In addition, America is the biggest consumer in commerce. These countries need the US dollar. It's either invested in America now and built your products in America or pay the tariffs. Your choice... oh, and for eggs, the US spends $110 million (2023) in eggs from China... Good time for the american farmer to thrive, don't you think?

America is now hated - by our allies! We have become the bad guys of history. Nobody can trust us anymore. It's shameful. No matter what one thinks of Trudeau, he speaks well here, and he speaks the truth. Ignore the MAGA Americans and Russian trolls who will belittle him. He's right here, there's no escaping this. Every decent US citizen should be ashamed.

As a Washington State resident, I have always and continue to love and respect our Canadian neighbors. This US fake president is a liar and shameful embarrassment to Americans. Mr. Trudeau is pulling his country together as trump is tearing our country apart.

Man dont call trump my president its insulting...To all our allies, most of us REAL americans dont like trump. Dont give in to him he wants you to cave first..DONT

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

OK for you to sell your shit here but yet you don’t allow us to sell our stuff there piss on you. That’s my opinion. I love Canadians but it has to stop and it’s going to. He is not aligning his self with Russia that is a lie watch what you say\nAnd furthermore, you can speak to the American people all you want. We follow our president and don’t threaten us. You’re on your way out the door anyway we will not forget what you did to the truck driver you’re a political pig.\nyou need are 9:02 money we don’t need yours

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

I’m so sorry Canada. Trump is America turd . Help us flush him . I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukrainian.

Our government in the US is embarrassing. Americans need to rise up.

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

Canada as an American I am so sorry for us all

Stand strong and don't give in to the sack of shiiiit in the white house. I'm an American, and think the world should boycott us till the orange man is gone
