US citizen here! We don't want this either. Our elected official is a deranged maniac and most of our citizens are pissed off. We love our Canadian neighbors and don't want this ridiculous tariff war. As for US supporting Russia well that is not something anyone in their right minds would do. Only stupid, crazy MAGA fools. Please know, most of us are kind and want the best for all humans. I can only apologize for myself. DJT is on his own. NOT MY PRESIDENT!

Would love to keep good relations with our US neighbours and friends.unfortunately the President of the United States has decided that’s not as he would put it, in the deck of cards he’s playing with.?????????

As an American, I DONT SUPPORT OUR president!! I never have! My grandfather, makes me proud of my Canadian heritage and i support YOU doing anything you need to for your country! He is isolating us from our allies and i need to appologize for his arrogant and bad behaviour! I love your country and my own, but i DONT support my government right now!!!

I love this man.... I wish he was America's president!!!!

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

This man is amazing! I love him! Why cant we have a President like him!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

The president of usa did this and 25% of americans did this. the other 75 % love canada. Chuck tRump. may he rot in hell.

Putin is loving every minute of Trump's presidency

Look I love my president Donald J Trump and I’m am completely ignorant to all this but Canada is making alot of sense here .. but like I said I’m not privy to all the intel !!

Love the tone with addressing Trump. Yes, Mr President, you are the big boy, you are genius, you did great things. This not good.... just this one, otherwise good job big boy ?

F u Trudeau! F u canada. I LOVE MY PRESIDENT…STAND WITH HIM TO THE LAST BREATH ^

Donald J. Trump is the best President EVER! I love President Trump. Thanks God for Trump. As for Ukraine, that shouldn't even have been a priority for America. Ukraine should have nurtured better relations with all its neighbors, and especially with Russia, and not try to drag the world into a needless WW3. Btw, why is Trudeau still in offoce? His dad was a proud communist. Just like his dad, Trudeau has communistic tendencies.

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

America here: I love Canada. Trump is demonic and we want him, vance, musk impeached. We want Republicans voted out. I stand with President Zelensky and all the countries that love and support him. I voted for VP Kamala Harris and I hope she will be inaugurated once Trump is removed.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

To any Americans reading this: We love you. We have fought and died along side you on the battlefield for many years. When pearl harbor happened, we declared war on Japan before even you did. When 911 happened, we allowed your planes to land in Canada. We fed you and housed you. During the LA fires, we sent firefighters and water bombers to assist. You have always been our closest ally, and vice versa. You have always been able to rely on us. \n\nThat stops today, thanks to your president. Make your voices heard if you disagree with what is happening in your country. His diplomacy and tariffs will hurt the both of us. A lot of Trumps rhetoric is nothing but bald faced. inaccurate BS. We hope you see the truth with your own eyes and work to fix the damage Trump will cause.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

Love Trudeau I wish he was our President

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

Me again. I too have something to say to the Americans who are struggling. Let me ask you all something. What does a country really need to keep it going? The answer is people. With no people working to keep a country going. Then you can't really call your country a country. Let me sadly tell you this ladies and gentlemen. The America you loved and worked hard to sustain, is gone, gone and replaced by your president and his followers. America is now Trump's America. He has change everything that made your America free, peaceful and safe. And when or not you get it back. All of you need to make a decision. If you feel like your safety, life and wellness of your family is in real danger. Then if you can get out of America. Go to a country that you believe will help you and keep you and your family safe and well. Always put your families safety and health first. But if you Don't have the money or a car go leave? Then let me say. Keep fighting and don't stop fighting until this low life criminal and traitor is removed from power. I am praying for all of you who are struggling. Don't give in and don't give up.❤

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

Trump is good a being president in many ways because he is a business man, not a politician, but in business it's about dominating the market place and your competition, bending them to your will if you can, but when you are president, you need to keep alliances with other countries, not dominate over them, otherwise you weaken your position on the world stage. When you are at the top with the biggest economy, army, you don't need to beat down those with less, you need to keep them on your side so their strength adds to your own, which is why you are at the top. Even a mafia boss won't beat down those under him, unless he wants war, and lose his position as others form alliances to take over top position as no powerful person, president, country wants to be beaten down into submission by anyone, so they create other alliances to match or overtake those at the top. In this case, Trump needs to play the politician or weaken his position, and China will be loving this as they are next in line.

I find myself (United States Citizen) cheering for any country imposing tariffs on the United States. Put the largest shit stain (excuse my language) on Trump's presidency. It is the only way his brainwashed followers will understand. Make things expensive and make them think twice about who they voted for. I would absolutely love for them to be able to watch this and understand, but they have been brainwashed since 2016. The only thing that will be real to them, is the impact on their finances. If you do that, the 2026 midterms will be an absolute wave of republican seats flipping Democrats.

I love Canadians but not this guy. President Trump is smart to do this for us. Trudeau is evil.

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

We as United States citizenry are appalled by President Trump and his band of thugs over his present action's toward the free World. We all Love our Canadian neighbors and will band together with our Vote to limit Trumps policies and rid our government from their unnecessary present path of destruction. Thank you President Trudeau and we all are praying for your continual strengths on the World Theater.

Americans love Canadians!!! Well spoken Mr President and with class!!!!

The Canadians love the\n? beers of USA. They love President Trump.❤️AND IF CANADA BECOMES THE 51ST STATE OF USA, THE CANADIANS AND AMERICANS WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL Economic RECIPROCITY OF BUYING AMERICAN GOODS and Canadian products without worrying tariffs for Canadian goods.??

Dear Canada, it's great. This is hers. Have a strong president. Austria is at your side. Nobody should judge a country that has history. TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG. ALL LOVE CHRISTINE FROM AUSTRIA.?????????????????????

America first love our president . The pain will come but by year 2 we will be happy for it . Thank you president trunp

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

As a Canadian I just want to say to our friends in the south. We love you, We want the best for you, but we need to do this. Its your president, NOT YOU!

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.

I promise we didn’t choose this either ?‍♀️!! We love and support our neighbors to the North and South no mater what our government is trying to make us believe!! We wish all Canadians and Mexicans the best and will continue to support you despite our president!! Much❤️ from Colorado

I'm a truck driver from Canada and I love the fact that my beloved President decided to make sure that money from my bank account is safe ;)

As an American on very shameful for our president we love you Canada we love you Ukraine

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

I love this president! He holds himself with dignity! Integrity

More people dislike tradeau than love president trump and that is hard to do it's funny how another leader disrespected America calling our president Donald tradeau take care of our state up there

Love that simple statement;” make that make sense”. As an American that is what I have been trying to do since his first presidency. I am truly sorry to all Canadians for this buffoon and his ignorance. I have no reasoning for those that had voted him in to office A SECOND TIME!!!!

You, President Zelenskyy, and Prime Minister Starmer are lights in this darkness. ? Love from, Minnesota.

President Trudeau, the AMERICAN PEOPLE is not for this. President Trudeau is what a REAL PRESIDENT IS ABOUT. I love CANADA ??

I LOVE that he called him Donald and not Mr President. He's addressing him with condescending tone

My heart breaks as an American who loves her country. I can't stand Trump or President Musk ?\nDo what you have to is how I feel. I stand with Canada ?? & Ukraine ??

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️
