We the majority of Americans do not want a trade war either and agree that fentanyl was just the 'excuse' used. Thank you for being such a good neighbor and partner in peace. I am sorry that you must do that which needs to be done, and I pray the good Americans and good Canadians will endure!

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

This is only the 3rd month under Trump/Vance, lord pray for us ! I’m sorry as an American, I didn’t ask for this! ?

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

Canada is on track to become the next world superpower, so long as Trump doesn't hand the keys to the kingdom to Putin first. The American people do not want this. I pray the people can take back their country before we collapse.

I am an American, but my Ancestors were French Canadians who immigrated to Montpelier, Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Your support in wanting the best for both of our countries makes me so proud of my roots. Charlie Angus as well as Justin Trudeau have integrity and are willing and able to fight for what is right. Please know you are a highly respected nation by most of the people in this country. I have always been so proud of my country, but am now so embarrassed and deeply troubled. Please pray for your neighbors and the democracy of our Republic. I am related to Louis Cyr, Canadian Strongman. Don't give up on us. God be with both of our nations!

I’m American..I love the people of Canada & Mexico..and the beautiful land of both countries. I truly believe illegal fentanyl will become a presidential justification for annexation of our allied countries. Putins attack on Ukraine has emboldened a specific American to seek out his own tress passing, imho. I pray I’m wrong..but when someone tells you what they want, unreasonable or not, I’ve learned in my lifetime to believe them

On behalf of the American people, we are so sorry for our fascist dictator, and we hope and pray we can take him out of power ASAP! We are all terrified, disgusted, and shocked. Just trying to figure out WHAT we can possibly do to fight back. Thank you, Canada!

To the Global Ecomony: Americans understand that you have to stand on business but remember that the American public didnt ask for this. We are embarrassed by the Dump administration. Pray for us.

? I wanna move to Canada! Seriously, it is so sad that citizens of the USA have to suffer at the hands of our Government/Trump. I have relatives in Canada and I live in a city directly across the river from Canada, I pray this does not affect the great relationship the common American citizen has with its Canadian neighbor! Love and Blessings to both countries and may God have mercy on us all. ????????????????????????

The rational American people are with you. The people who understand how real government works. Not made up lies that get repeated over and over again in hopes that people will fall for it. Hard to believe that half the American people actually fell for the scam that has befallen America. Pray for us.

I pray Trump does not give up his fight for American people. All American people. They tariff some of our goods 100+% and they no longer will get away with it. Thank you Trump.

I'm an American who is terrified of the future. I stand with Canada and the rest of the world. I pray that this will end before we are completely destroyed.

We as the American people are listening to you. Trump does not represent the majority of the people's mindset. I pray we will take actions to reign in this ignorant selfish actions of this dictator wannabe. ?

AMERICAN here. I see every comment here that disrespects the United States of America. The threats made by the Canadian government. To EVER use the word WAR in ANYTHING involving the US, especially with threats, is EXACTLY why this needs to happen. You forget yourselves. Especially YOU Prime Minister Trudeau, referring to the POTUS by Donald? ?? YOU do not address America except through our state department. And you better pray it's not via the Department Of Defense.

Prime Minister, we don't want this either. trump is ruining our country, and our relationships with our closest friends. He is a lying, grifting, crooked, hateful, evil person, without a shred of compassion for even us Americans. He is shameful, stupid, and embarrassing. Please pray for us.

We, the Americans, that did not vote for the belligerent little orange man r afraid of what r country looks like now. He is literally targeting anyone who does not agree w his crazy politics. We understand why Canada needs to take a strong stance against DJT’s tariffs & do not blame u for reacting to his bizarre treatment of r greatest ally. Praying for r country in the hands of such a callous man.

I'm an American who stands for the democratic free world that my father and grandfather fought for. I do not wish to alienate our allies and neighbors. This administration is insane and I keep praying for it to end. We must stay strong.

I'm an American. I'm with you Canada. Keep up the good work. Trump and company have to go. I pray before they have done irreparable damage to my country and yours.

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

As Americans we pray for us and our fellow partners in different countries. \nOur brothers and sisters whoever you are we are praying for you as we are bringing ourselves we will get through this we are fighters with God's help and a Virgin Mary nothing will stop us and we show compassion, understanding and it will be hard we will try our best. ❤❤

As an American, please pray for us. Our president is an insane mad man. ?

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. Unfortunately Donald Trump will destroy the US. Canada will grow stronger without US. It is regrettable that the current Trump administration is destroying the strong relationships between US with Mexico, Canada, Europe, UK, China, Middle East and Africa. Canada will always stand for democracy, freedom and justice even if this current administration refuses to do so. US and Canada has fought WWI, WWII, Korean war, Vietnam war, Iraq war, Afghanistan war together. As brothers in arms both have fought, bleed together against fascism. What Donald is doing in the US is as close as it gets to fascism in America. During this difficult time in American history more than ever America needs to trust in God. God bless America land of the free home of the brave. Let's pray that God will intervene through prayer to bring America to depend on Him once more.

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

I Am A PROUD AMERICAN, \nI COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD CORE COMBAT VETERANS\nSINCE. 1776.\nI Proud Of My CANIDIAN Ancestry On My Maternal Side,\nNova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario CA\nI Pray CANADA. SHUTS DOWN\nTHE MY OIL SUPPLY \nAND POWER TO THOSE STATE'S\nWho Think MAGA Spicemens \nWho Think ORANGE ? DRAFT DODGING CRIMINAL SUFFER.

Our country is harboring the new hitler. The meeting with President Zelensky was disgraceful. Our country is being destroyed by a draft-dodging wanna-be dictator/rapist felon who's a puppet to putin and a pogue vp who is a disgrace to the Marine Corps. I pray for the American ppl and our Canadian friends...a true ally.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Shut off oil delivery and natural gas. I know you do not want to do this, you have no choice. I live in Michigan, and working with Canada has always been a give. The auto industry is important. I pray for the end of this quickly.

As an American for the whole of my 70 years, I applaud the actions of PM Trudeau. Please know that the majority of Americans value our friendships in this global community, and are ashamed of the actions taken by Donald Trump. I can only hope and pray that this insanity ends soon.

Canadians better be careful who they elect after Justin Trudeau leaves They might end up with a Trumplike person governing their country too I pray for the Canadians Americans love you

I hope and pray that the US military that took their solemn oath to protect the people of the United States and our constitution both foreign and abroad will stand by their oath now as American needs you very very much to protect us from the dictator in the White House so please stand on your oath

No one can negotiate with a madman. Thank you Canada. I pray Americans will wake up and impeach T

I THOUGHT HE QUIT????I PRAY CANADACUTS ITS CANCER TRUDEAU OUT,LIKE AMERICANS CANADA HAS CRIMINALS IN GOVERNMENT FROM LONG AGO,ITS A WORLD PROBLEM

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

Canadians. Hang in there. WE WILL take care of this pig, once and for all! And I pray our friendship will be even stronger for it, in the end. I believe I speak for most Americans when I say, you are our brothers and sisters. That is how I feel about it, anyway. This Sc**bag will not succeed! He is NOT my President! ..IMPEACH KRASNOV NOW!!!

I live in Belize and I'm praying for you Americans. You all have a tyrant on your hands! This is unbelievable.

As a Constitutional American I understand what you are having to do for the good of your country. You are blessed to have a government that thinks of its people first and not as expendable. I support everything you are doing because it is best for your good country. I pray it somehow becomes what is also best in knocking sense into the puppet master and his court Jester.\nWe as Americans are going to have to do MORE to protect ourselves and OUR constitution!??

I'm an American veteran who served for 40 years in the military, and I'm proud I did. But this thing that's in the White House makes me ashamed to be an American. Please don't think real Americans support this ass. It's the slow witted people who only come out of the hills when they want to attack our Capital. We apologize for these people. Please pray for us. It's in God's hands now.

It's not sabotage. It's calculated to make Americans hungry & desperate & controllable. Our future is being stolen from us and this is just the beginning. I pray for us all.

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

Please Canada not all Americans are behind this administration. We tried to tell those who do that this man would ruin our country and is behind Putin. We are behind you and please pray that this man and Musk are removed soon before we aren’t able to come back

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

We don't want this either Mr Trudeau, but I don't blame you. I'm with you on your side. and hopefully, my people will be on your side since Mr. Trump fooled the American people. We pray for everyone plus the Canadians. God be with you and everyone else.

Bravo President Trudeau! We Americans are screwed! Trump doesn't have it in him to admit he has BAD ideas or is wrong. Canada we Americans wish our President spoke the way yours did today. Please pray for the United States. We are facing the enemy within.

These Canadians have so much of hatred for Americans so why are they sending people or coming here to the U.S? Where is Trudeau the nutcase? Hope & pray that the Trump administration take quick measures & send them back to Canada.

FEDERAL FUNDING IS GOING TO STOP ?. WE THE AMERICAN ?? PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. THANK YOU ? PRESIDENT TRUMP SEND THEM ALL BACK. WE AMERICANS LOVE ❤️ OUR IMMIGRANTS. BUT YOU HAVE TO COME IN LEGALLY. YOU WILL BE SENT BACK IF YOU DON’T. ALL THE ILLEGALS WONT BE GETTING ANYTHING FREE ? ANY LONGER. SEND ALL THESE MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS TO BLUE STATES - SANCTUARY CITIES. WITH NO FEDERAL FUNDING. LET THESE STATES FUND ALL OF IT. AND DEAL WITH ALL OF THE CRIMINALS. WE OTHER AMERICANS WILL BE PRAYING ? FOR YOU AND YOUR STATES. ????

Lets pray and hope that Americans will never have to run to another country and BEG for help. Let's pray USA is always strong and stands for it's people even though this country of ours is a newbie. This clip is sad and our government created this mess for many many years this is been going on.

Tyler, I am sorry for what is happening in your country because I believe there are more great people compared to the “other” that we see creeping out of their holes. I worry for your less fortunate, those depending on help from their government and have earned this right, those being tossed out for no good reason. I worry about Canada too and although we do complain about our government this is not all bad keeps them on their toes but they will fight for Canadians. I do not see that happening enough in your country, I see complacency everywhere with such horrible things happening. I pray for our friends. No I am not a bible thumper like maga. I just believe like normal people do. Big hugs from this Canadian. ???? sadly I cannot bring myself to add the American flag beside ours ☹️?

I hope CNN is on the America’s side of this… me and my family were once an immigrant who went through due process and with God’s love, we are proud to be American. But I also pray for these families who are truly looking for a better life..
