It's clear the only leverage Canada has is to try and turn the American people against it's own government. Americans need to realize this instead of being used as pawns for other countries' governments.

Justin Trudeau, I love you! You are so concise and literate in your speeches! Thank you for being a voice of reason in our American turmoil.

It is the Orange Man doing this. The Americans do not want this, the majority stand with Canada

Wish he would have said “Today, Trump launched a trade war…” not all Americans stand with Trump. I stand with our Allies.

As an American, I sadly stand with Canada bcuz our govt is just something else

Donald Trump knows that his trade war with Canada, Mexico and China will damage America’s economy. That is why he is doing it. He is purposely hurting the American economy in order to help Putin. How is that every American can’t see that Trump is a Russian asset? He is doing everything that he can to unstable the American government. The writing is on the wall America. Wake up!

The end of the American empire is upon us

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am an American and do not agree with what Trump is doing. Yiu gave my full support. Trump is out of his mind, and so are the people who are behind his lunacy!

Ukrainian-American, it’s hurts me twice. Not my president, hope Trump fries in hell with Putin

Our PM is strong and true leader, Canada responded very diplomatically, while protecting Canadians and in effort to help American business, farmers and people.

2 months in and I am already tired of our American Leaders.

People are weak, stand with YOUR country wrong right or indifferent smh. We are Americans we are bred strong this is not about right or left.

Americans are the ones who advocates this rampant Fentanyl use and doctors are cohorts to this uncalled for epidemic, by left and right prescription of pain relievers and drugs to combat mental anguished and debilitating social problems. Latinos and Asians are naturally resilient and has stronger faith in the almighty which help them keep sane even in worsts times and in crisis. This drug problem is due to the BRAT notion of Americans to escape social problems the easy way! “drug intervention! “Let’s call the problem as it is-“Americans has problem in ADDICTION!!!”and your neighbors and the border has nothing to do with it! Period!!!

as a German i ask me if a American understand what he say,now you can pay 10 Dollar for 2 Dollar Stuff USA you are so dump and you even now dont understand why that is

I'm from Maine with a Franco American heritage. I am heartbroken today… remembering open borders between our countries, no passport required. I support Canada ?? and Canada's leadership looking out for their people.

Trudeau is clip farming and playing heartstrings. The Canadian government profits from a reciprocal tariff deal.\n\nAmerica is trying to balance the budget, which is what Americans voted for.

American People: WE DONT WANT THIS EITHER! LITERALLY NO ONE VOTED FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!

We can see what's happening...why can't you...why are Americans letting putin puppet weaken our alliances ??

This is a joke right? There is almost nothing I buy in the store that is made in Canada. lol. I buy American or locally grown stuff.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

Exactly Me Treadaeux Exactly Mr Trudeau! He who shall not be named is not my president. Nothing he is implementing will hurt his wallet!! It will only harm those of us who are working class! I’m sorry for this, but I did Not vote for him. I am utterly shocked at my fellow Americans who voted for him. If I had the resources I would be looking for another country to call home!

Being an American is such an embarrassment ? Trump and his criminal buddies have made us laughing stock of the entire world...

I would open the market for Chinese EV if I were canadian PM, this just to hurt Elon Musk and Tesla, and I would put tariffs on american EV.

And the Crap Show begins.. The American People will suffer heavily from the influence of other countries which will weaken America's economy. Thanks MAGA votes, who believe your current President in the matter of less than 50 days in office America is doing marvelous (the best it has ever been and the best you have ever seen). Guess Kamala wasn't lying after all..

We Americans do not want this, please have mercy on us! Most of us did not vote for this.

I'm an American and I do NOT WANT this. But we have a President who doesn't give one sh** about what the majority of Americans want and need. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM.

American people vote for this, this is only the beginning

Well done Canada ?? a measured response. I think you have the support of most Americans to switch off the lights.

I’m American. Good for you! We dont want this either. We people of America love Canada and its citizens.

Real Americans are behind you. Do what you gotta do.

So much love and respect to Canada from an American that recognizes you are 100% correct. \nWould that we had such an articulate, empathetic, intelligent leader. \nHe is rising to the moment while ours drags us into the mafia thug abyss.

American's elected a baboon in the white house.

Oh America why did you vote for Donald Trump. Now I'm afraid Canada will close the boarder to Americans just like the other countries that does not want American tourists. America will be the most hated country very soon. Hate to be an American right now?

Lol, he speaks more slowly when addressing the American people and even more so when addressing Donald in comparison to when addressing Canadians, be it in English or French.

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

Thank you Canada for rational words and forceful push back on this horrible administration. Keep it coming. From a Sad American

I’m so ashamed of my country right now. I did not vote for Dump. \n\nWe will end up with no allies and the American dollar is already depreciating.

Wow. It’s really happening. We are fucked as Americans

This is what Americans voted for out of pure racism.

The american people will be hurt

I wonder is MAGA realize that through these tariffs they have pretty much guaranteed the Liberal Party of Canada will take the next federal election. Canadians WILL NOT elect a party or any officials they think might be even a little sympathetic to American interests.

Go Canada. Give us heck. You know who deserves it and the American people will drive him from office.

I stand with Canada. Many Americans like myself are disgusted and appalled by our president.

Americans will say give Trump a chance but for what cause? The Death of America?

Trudy, you twisted F. TRUMP is looking for peace. Tariffs? You have been milking every us tax payer for years. I am all for a 51st state. Don't speak to us Americans.

I’m an American and I love Canada!!!?

Mr. Trudeau thank you for apologizing to us the American citizens for this trainwreck our narcissist evil monster not leader has caused since his first day in office

So embarrassed to be an American! I didn’t vote for Trump! I knew his Presidency AGAIN ….. would be a shit show! So sorry for Canada! Retired! Can’t afford food now! Six months from now everything will be unaffordable! Thank the maga idiots for voting him in! Personally I think he and Elon have rigged it!

Americans should book Russian courses so that they can communicate better with their new friends. Maybe communism is the better way for America, as time will show

Americans love it when someone loses bigger than them. It creates the illusion of success. When billionaires win, they will gaslight the poor that everyone is winning. Trump DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AVERAGE AMERICANS.
