I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

As an American ( I live in PA), I seriously feel like I’m living in the twilight zone with this administration.??

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.

Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Dear Trudeau, most Americans don’t want this either. This crazy egomaniac needs to feel power at the expense of the American people. I’m sorry Canada.

Nope I’m American Canadian seriously discussed

I'm an American. I did not vote for him. I stand with Canada.

I'm an American, this is making me cry. For real. We love Canada.

What an incredible speech! As a U.S. American, I’m ashamed of our country. I stand with Canada.

What can the average American do?? We have no say. We have no wins. Our jobs are being ripped out from under us. While they Ski and Golf. Not to mention the crypto crap.. I’m tired and fed up with this ? swinging when neither of them have a working member amongst them.. over 70? His wife definitely has a ? in her pocket!???

Man I'm a American and you speak the truth

As an American I'd like to say, I didn't vote for this, please don't hate us.. and can I please come live with you guys?? I can't afford a passport cause I'm not a wealthy American, but I'm hard working and I'm polite... Please

I’m an American . I think your dude needs to slow his roll. I don’t think we need Canada and we don’t want to support anyone who would close his citizens bank accounts because they don’t like what they support. Remember that !?

Nothing but two people trying to do what they think is best for their own countries. I'm not mad at that, but Trudeau for the sake of his country, will make it harder on us by his tarrifs which tells me how much she really cares for Americans, not more than his. Which I'm fine with. You have to take care of your own, but tit for tat isn't good for anyone.

Man I'm a American and you speak the truth

As an American I’m proud and glad that Canada isn’t putting up with Trumps nonsense. Do what you need to do Canada, the American PEOPLE love you ❤

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

Thank you so much for your wise and words. I’m not an canadian nor american, but I feel just a little better now after all horrível Trump interventions.

We have been getting more investment in American jobs than we’ve had in decades all thanks to this policy! I’m thankful that we have a president that puts us and our people first! We’ve had over a trillion dollars of investment in America and American jobs just in two months!

Dear Canada, I’m an American but I stand with you. Don’t let Trump bully you or Europe. I have a degree in Economics and understand fully what a trade war means. Trump is a greedy , mindless old man. How he ever became President is a mystery to me. We love you Canada.

I’m burning an American flag. ??

I'm american and I do not support Donald Trump....

I’m American, and as hurtful it is to say that, because I know it’s gonna affect me. I stand with Canada. I would do the same. This is a disgraceful administration we are now.

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

This American doesn't support Trump.'s insane policies. I'm sorry Canada & Mexico.

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

Kick Trumps ass out of town! I’m an American and I’m extremely angry with this administration and I want you to show him who’s boss!!! ❤️❤️❤️???\nTurn the electricity off!

Ashamed to be an American. I'm sorry, Canada (and for that matter, the rest of the world).

At this time I wish I was Canadian as I’m ashamed to be an American. trump has ruined this country?

I’m an American & I stand with Canada!!!?????

As an American I say do what you need to do. I stand with Canada. I'm so sorry this is happening ?

I support Canada & Ukraine and I'm American!!

Thank God for reason I’m American but I’m not a trumplican

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

I don’t think the majority of Americans want this. I did not vote for Donald Trump and I’m sure a lot of people that did are regretting their decision. This is so sad and depressing and stressful. God bless us all.

I'm an American and I stand with America.

I'm an American that loves you, Canada. I want this madness to end and I want our relationship to mend. It might take time, but I hope it at least happens in my lifetime

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

I won't travel to the US. And I'm doing my best to boycott American goods. Sorry, American cousins, but we have to protect ourselves.

I’m an American. I support you Canada!????

I'm disappointed he hasn't renamed the USA Trumpland or maybe the Fascist American Republic of Trumpland. FART clearly doesn't need trade they have the magic orange guy.

Bravo Mr Trudeau ! Speaking the truth is essential, you have provided ! I’m American and I’m not proud of our new politics

I'm interesting to see what this brings. Americans have been being f***** for ages. We are used to it. Let's see how the rest of the world handles this. S***. My household makes well over $100,000 a year and we're barely f****** scraping by. I'm interested to see what this administration can do once we put pressure on everybody else

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

I'm a American and to be honest I'm proud of Canada

I’m honestly dumbfounded that this country once again unleashed the unmitigated stupidity and utter incompetence of that orange Buffoon loose on the world again. As Americans we should hang our heads low in shame.

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people
