wow. A country looking after its citizens?! Doing what’s right?! It’s starting to feel sort of alien here in the states. As an American, I stand with Canada.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

Canadian president is so much better than the American one! Clear, articulate, smart, decisive, and with his country’s citizens interests at heart.

Hopefully AMERICANS can open their ears wide and understand what is going on because it gets worse and worse\n\nSending love to all Canadians ?? ❤ ??

It's not the U.S. government that's doing this, Prime Minister Trudeau, but rather President Trump and his cronies. This tariff war wasn't voted on by Congress or the American people.

Trump is an idiot! We Americans are sorry. Well, at least those of us who didn't vote for the orange menace.

Sane Americans stand with you, Canada. We stand with Ukraine and the good citizens of the world. We will never align ourselves with Trump and his toxic Maga cult. We stand beside the rest of the world in fighting this traitorous coup.

You're reasonable? Don't place your opinion on all Canadians. They don't agree with your leftist actions. If you were reasonable you wouldn't be placing tariffs on all American products exported to Canada. Now, reciprocal tariffs are fair. Why don't you tell your people the TRUTH

Indigenous American / Hispanic. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.\nResist mad red-hatter Nazis!

I have watched several interviews with different Canadian officials who adamantly convey that it's not the American people causing the Canadians to place tariff wars. It's the President. They know that the a president will try to brain wash the people of America into thinking otherwise.

Stocks are down. Prices are up. Dictatorships are creaming themselves. Americans.... you're nuts. Canada time to show this orange pedo what we're made of.

Well Americans, this is what y’all voted for some of y’all anyway

Elbows up Canada! ?? Many Americans are on your side! Go get him!

Guys, I looked at the GDP of Canada and Mexico on Google. About 2 trillion each. The US has 27 trillion. I'm not Canadian or American or Mexican, I'm just wondering: do these countries have anything to counter Trump with?

America is not in a golden era more of a orange/ brownish shit stain era sorry Canada Trump is out for Trump America or any other country be damned .Trump speaks for the american government but not the American people he has little regard for

Trump USA Rump, so embarrassing to me as an American

im with canada. as an american.

As an American, why can't we have a leader this good! SMH. Stay strong Canada, we stand with you & Ukraine!

Speaking to Americans directly is the right approach. They are the real stakeholders. Not the carpetbaggers.

What Trump is doing is just absolutely crazy but the American people voted for him so unfortunately everyone will have to live with the stupidity that is the new America.

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

Hey Canada , got room over there for Americans tired of this trump sh*t?

I am very glad our prime minister has stepped up and pushed back hard with what the orange predator down south and his puppet master, Putin, have forced on us. I have no doubt that this is going to be hard economically for us, but is a necessary step. Together, as a sovereign nation, we can weather this \n storm. Im very proud of how much Canadians have stepped up to support local and Canadian companies over American products. As our national anthem says, we stand on guard for thee. That includes all Canadian, no matter what skin color or background we are. United we are, and always will be, a force not to be pushed around.

Trump and his blind eye followers got to go.\nI am American, I admire the Canadians.

come on, Trudeau! This is not about him doing what someone else wants him to do, he wants to even destroy the Canadian economy so he can easier annex Canada. T. is not interested in anything else than revenge and his own advantage, he does not care if people despise him, for him it's only about power and money. In 4 years he is gone again and won't have to worry about anything, because he got the money he raked in within his dictator years, and won't ever look back, not giving a fluff about Americans.

Stop the illegals from crossing the northern American border and especially stop the Fentanyl coming across.

American here, I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Real Americans stand with Canada!

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.

I stand with Canada as an American. Donald Trump is a disgrace.

No one can make sense of Trump’s actions. He is turning on all of Americans friends , and is kissing the Russian dictators ring. As an American I don’t want this, I stand with Canada and or European friends.

American from California aslso known as mini Denmark we stand with the world and democracy in condemnation of Trump and his eyeliner-lapdog vance, no relation to lipstick lesbians they too support democracy and sanity!

The American People voted for Trumpet so its what they want, doesn't matter if it is 100% or 1000% its what the American people.

I almost feel like I need to apologize to the world for the moron that is in the White House. It’s sad when you’re ashamed to be an American.

What have you done Americans....\nIt's in your hands to get this madman out of the White House.

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.

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

American with Canada

I’m an American who stands with Canada and Ukraine

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 .

Trump is a dangerous cancerous tumor on the ass if society. I am an American.

Thank you sir....I'm ashamed to call myself an American believe me I never voted for this maniac! I do not agree with this government at all!

God help the Americans. You all will NEED it. Trump trying to play a country like a company is shameful. Countries are countries. Not this bullshit. Canada will stand hell or high water.

From UK and am so impressed by the conviction of your government standing up for your country and against this abismal behaviour. Sympathy to the Americans who could see Trump for the villain that he is and are having to endure this. You deserve better. We all do. Standing with you, Canada, Ukraine, Europe and UK.

As an American, I STAND WITH CANADA!

EXCELLENT.! Honorable Prime Minister Trudeau.! The American PEOPLE! Thank You.!!!

Trump will succeed in destroying American hegemony. Thank god

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.
