Texan here. If I was Canada, I would have put a 30% Tariff against the U.S. Canada didn’t start this Fight, Trump did!!!!!!! U.S. Air Force Combat Unit Veteran, and I stand with all of NATO and Ukraine, and I can’t forget our Freinds on the Southern Border Mexico. Americans will always be Friends with Canada, you should be very proud of your Prime Minister, or President?

Americans stand with our allies and friends

As an American I stand with our foreign friends and close neighboring countries.

I purchased my canadian flag today and I live in the u.S I stand behind you, one hundred percent canada! I love you and love everything you stand for. He's a lunatic in there is no reasoning with a lunatic. His cult following has gone too far. I couldn't ask for better neighbors.I couldn't ask for better friends. I love you, and I will more than proudly, fly your flag on my porch!!! ❤❤❤

USA is not a friend, never has been. They manipulates and uses who or what ever they want. This is not a Trump issue, this is how USA always has been. We stand for Canada ??????

We stand with president Trump. You go down, Trudeau. You are not a friend.

Chump can't stand the admiring way Melania looked at Trudeau! \nSo he's being a biatch to our closest friends in Canada. Thanks, MAGAts.

This is the way Donald treats his “friends”. I’m ashamed of my country. I stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine.

We Europeans stand with our friends in Canada! We stand with Mexico and of course we stand with Ukraine! We DO NOT stand with the USA!

I am Ukrainian from Kyiv. Standing with Canada and American people who don't support Trump's policies. Thank you a loooot for supporting us! Its mean a lot for us! Unfortunatly looks like Trump find a new friend - putin(( ?

Please know that the vast majority of us in the USA do not want this trade war. Canada is our neighbor and friend. This will not stand. I don’t know how or when but Trump will be removed from office and our memories soon. Democracy will prevail over evil!

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

From France, hard to understand how these two countries are going into such a fight. It’s like a family fight between brothers. American friends, it’s Time to realise you elected a dangerous guy who obviously has too much confidence on doing dumb thîngs, and clearly is not qualified to act as a gentleman or just being a reasonable president. Canadian cousins, France will always stand behind you..

I am an American standing for Canada, the Ukraine and Mexico you are our friends and allies. I can’t believe my country is doing this.

Australia ?? will always stand by our friends the great country of Canada ❤❤❤

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

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.

NO ONE CARES WHAT THE COMMIE HAS TO SAY.....SOME FRIEND.....FRIENDS LIKE YOU GUYS WHO NEEDS ENEMIES...AND BE OUR GUEST, FIGHT.....YOU HAVE NOTHING AT ALL THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE, SO GOOD LUCK!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND WITH TRUMP!!!!! SCREW YOU TOTO.....

We in America hear you Justin Trudeau and know that you speak truth. We stand in support of our wonderful Canadian neighbors and friends.

I live in Romania and I grew up under Communism. I hope I am wrong to do so, but I really feel that as far as the USA is concerned, we are already sold to Russia. Again. POTUS is no longer the leader of the Free World and all of our hopes and dreams about the mighty US being a friend and a guardian angel against the evil empires are dead. It’s time to stand together with the West, work and fight for our freedom, for what is good.

Well done JT. Everyone is careful not to upset DT, but finally someone has said it straight. Trump is a bully and a liar. Trump cannot be trusted. Trump thinks the US does not need friends. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater but countries need to stand up to Trump and that complete idiot of a VP.

I’m not particularly a savvy political person, but even I could see this coming. Trump/Musk have chosen to start a war against our own people & isolating us from allies & neighbors is a particularly bad move. Who will defend us against Russian aggression when we have no allies & friends left. And make no mistake-this fits right into Putin’s plans. If The US is no longer able to stand against him, who will? It has been a balance of power that has kept democracy flourishing and given Americans so much freedom & prosperity. Trump/Musk are nothing but greedy fools who will end up destroying our country. ???

As an American in Buffalo, I stand with our dear neighbors and friends in Canada!

Real Americans stand up when a friend is threatened. Canada has the people's support.

The UK stands with our Canadian friends

We stand with Friends and neighbors, not dictators and feIons

Greetings from California! I stand with all of our friends in Canada, Mexico and China! I did not vote for this catastrophe but am definitely feeling the pain of these horrendous tariffs. My heart is with our friends up North and I hope you understand that many of us here in the US did not want this. We are plagued with a complete nut case for a President who was given the ultimate power of house and Senate majority plus the Supreme Court so there is no fix for the nightmare in the near future. All I can say is I am sorry for what we all have to endure now.

God help us. I have never seen anything so terrible in my 76 years from any US President. I stand with Canada, UK, Ukraine, and Europe and all our NATO allies that we used to have as friends.

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

Just 1 month into the cursed reign of the Tangerine Palpatine, we have:\n1. Tanked our stock market\n2. Tanked our economy\n3. Watched as tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have lost their jobs for no reason\n4. Alienated our closest friends and allies\n5. Made 90% of Americans worse off and poorer\n6. Made everything we consume more expensive\n7. Made elon musk even richer\n\nI've never been more ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Ukraine.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

As a European, more specifically someone from The Netherlands. I will not forget the sacrifices the Canadians have made to safe my country from a murderous regime that had taken over our sovereign country. The Netherlands will always stand with our friends. May the US finds it senses sooner rather than later. This is no way to treat your friends and allies.

It is quite apparent that bluffs and bullying are not good approaches in dealing with our close allies. We have put the United States in a very shameful standing around the world. I just don't know what is exactly we are doing. Our economy is showing decline and we are losing our friends. So what is the expected end game here?

Canada is my home. I was born here. Canada will pull together. We will survive this and we will make other trade partners as we go on. The world pretty much stands with us and I thank all of you who are doing all you can to stand behind Canada.\nI don't care which country you come from. If you stand with Canada and are a friend of Canada then you are a friend of mine.\nAn enemy of my enemy is my friend. May God bless you all.

Where are our past presidents? PResident OBama? PResident CLinton? President BIden? PResident BUsh? They still garner the title President. We need their collective wisdom and non-partisan leadership to intercess and stand up to the TREASONOUS machinations of Trump. OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN PERIL….Canada is our friend and confidant. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON! He is single handedly dismantling decades of peace, goodwill, friiendship and above all SAFETY with our French Canadian neighbors. America is in serious trouble. CNN a you have a responsibility to use your far reaching platform to seek out the opiNions and diplomatic aid of our surviving better presidents. They possess the hardwon wisdom and experience to engage with world leaders and our senators…..\nPlease take a stand. These are scary moments. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON!\nHELP! SOS! ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

As an American I am ashamed and embarrassed of our corrupt government. I stand with our ally Canadians. It is sickening to realize something is going to explode in the U.S. we Americans are already suffering with inflation and homelessness. It is terrible how we are raising the tariffs to our friendly Canadians. We stand with the ppl of Canada today and always! ❤

To all our friends that stands with Canada ?? Thank you ❤

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

The UK stands with Canada side by side, it breaks my heart that America is no longer a friend. F*** Trump

WOW!!! What a calm, measured response toward an incredibly ridiculous situation. This is what leadership looks like!!! Thank you Canada for standing up to this bully! We'll weather this shit storm together. Thank you for being our kind, thoughtful, compassionate, patient, AND polite neighbors + friends. We LOVE you!!!

Exemplary behavior from government administration!! We are so PROUD OF YOU CANADA!!!! Do not back down. We're embarrassed of and apologetic for the current administration. Really America stands with you and our global friends!! ❤??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????❤

This Scot forever stands behind you Canada. These fuckwits south of the border have lost respect and friends across the world.

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.

As an American, I'm so proud of Canada and the rest of the World for not standing for the actions of an incompetent, lieing, wanna-be-dictator. God bless you all! Most Americans are just as appalled and angry as you are! Stay strong my friends!

Germany will always stand on our friends site! Be strong canada and stay strong

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

From the UK. GO CANADA GO! Stay tough and fend off this dispicable MAGA US government. Europe stands with you as your allies and friends!
