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.

Dear Canadians, the American citizens not want this. We love you guys as our biggest ally and partner. Everything you are saying is correct. Please stand up to these bullies and keep fighting for what is right! Apologies from the u.s. citizens!

It is really hard to believe that Trump isn't a russian asset, considering that he constantly goes after his own people, country and allies.... He is going after everyone who is standing in the way of Russia and (American) oligarchs (FBI, nuclear weapons etc.), ignoring all existing laws

To Canada and all our allies, I am an American and I stand with them with our allies. The fact that idiot is in charge of our country. He’s tearing it apart piece by piece and that’s what he wants to do.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

This is ridiculous Trump is turning the United States into a communist regime Americans need to stand with our allies we need them to be strong we do not need to be aligned with Russia !! Americans need Stand up against what Trump is doing

Real Americans will always stand with our allies. We are heartbroken, and it’s time for our people to fight. We will never support this current administration ??

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

As an American and part Native American and who’s family’s 3x great grandmother walked the tail of tears when she was 12. I stand with Canada ?? and our allies . We supporter you all the way

I am an American. The actions taken by Trump is appalling! I stand with our allies!???????

Preach it brother Trudeau! Not all Americans stand with tRump, vAncy, or mUsty! They could care less about our friends and allies! They care about only themselves, and how much money they can grift from everyone! I disagree with one of your points. He is NOT a smart guy.

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

Deer Canada we the American Patriots are against this everyone didn't vote for these horrible people in office we will not back down from our government we are sorry for the felon and his regime this is not the American way but it's a disgrace and disgusting embarrassment we stand with our allies

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

American citizen, disabled, LGBTQIA, and have lost many friends and most family members because of Trump. Struggling to survive this nightmare as I stand with our allies Canada and Mexico (and Ukraine).

Europe stand strongly behind Canada and Mexico\n\nPeople stop buying american stocks\nPeople stop buying american goods\nCountries start making new friends and allies excluding USA\n\nPoor you\nMy heart goes to all people who protest \nRemove your president and the top they are not worthy of you hard earned taxmoney….they only wants to make themselves rich and remove you the peoples voice\n????????

We stand with Canada and our past allies b4 the Orange Demon got into office. Black Americans stand w/ you all bc we believe in peace.

Plainly speaking, it was never about fentanyl. Trump is trying to bully everyone into submission. We saw it last week with Zelenskyy. Don’t back down Canada. True Americans stand with their allies.

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

If your insane president won't back down, electricity will be cut off, and potash and nickel will no longer be exported. Agreements with Homeland security will be canceled, NORAD may be cancelled, and cross border travel will be severely restricted soon. Canadian armed forces will be standing by to halt an American military operation, and our European Allies will join us for what we hope will only be another cold war.

As an American, I am so sorry ? Many of us stand with Canada and Ukraine, our allies and friends.

Donald Trump started a trade war with other countries and we the people have nothing to do with it. Donald Trump needs to be removed with the 25th Amendment immediately. Americans will not condone Donald Trump or Russia. We do not stand with them, we stand with our allies against the pig face dictator Donald Trump?❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As an American, i always want to support my country, but when they are attacking an ally and friend for absolutely no reason, i have no choice but to hope that Canada stands strong against Trumps bullying.

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

Trump & his administration, including Musk, are TRAITORS!! Please know that half of American voters did NOT vote for this traitor. We, non-Trump Americans, are NOT in agreement with this traitor. We stand with Canada & our other allies! “Hate” is not near a strong enough word to describe how we feel about these traitors’ actions!!!

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

Canadians will stand against trump with Americans! We are family, we are friends, we are allies, we are the true north together standing with each other strong & free against tyranny! \n\nIn more politically correct terms.\n\nFUCK THAT GUY! ✊?

I'm an American. And I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and all of our European allies. I do not stand with my president and my government. I'm sorry Canada. I didn't vote for this.

I'm a Daughter of the American Revolution and Native American. I stand with our allies. We support ? you Canada ?? ??

I am from Indiana and am horrified by Trump real Americans stand with our TRUE allies Canada and Ukraine and the rest of Europe NOt Russia. Tnot our President

As an American, I can say I 100% stand with Canada and their response. Trump and his henchmen are LITERALLY severing ties with our greatest allies while simultaneously sucking up to scumbag Putin! I can’t understand how this can be a good thing? We’re becoming just another authoritarian nation at this point…

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

Good on Canada for standing up for their people. The news anchor seems offended that Canada is talking “harshly “ to poor o frump… o please! Enough with the treatment of kid gloves Americans will be deeply hurt by this buffoon starting a trade war with our allies… the frumpy supporters this is what you voted for so don’t want to hear crying…. You didn’t want to listen to the warnings given so now deal with it just like everyone else that knew better ….

Canadians and americans fought in wars together standed side by side and now trumps going to ruin the history between two allies just sad

We stand with you Prime Minister Trudeau - this is all about Trump he is un-American and a complete disgrace. He is trying to hurt all Americans and our Allies

I am ashamed of our corrupt government and the magat cultists who helped put them back in power. I hope you're all so happy.. things are just grand ?\n True Americans stand strong with our brothers and sisters, our allies around the world! ??We will NOT stop fighting! FDJT FDJT FDJT!

Standing for our beautiful neighbor country Canada. I didn't vote for a dictator and Trump is destroying the American way of life and our relationships with so many allies, and selling us out to the Kremlin.

The world stands with Canada. America under Trump is no longer a friend or ally. I feel for the moderate Americans having to live alongside the MAGA lunatics.

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

As a Canadian, I'd like to thank the Americans that stand with us as allies. We love you and stand with you in your fight as well.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

This is not an American Govt. It's a Maga Govt. Bought and paid for by corrupt billionaires who will one day pay a price for their crimes against America. 70% of us stand with our allies.

My president does not speak for me, or a lot of us Americans. I stand by Canadians, Ya'll our closet allies and fiends. \nOur president is hurting us an our best neighbor, its just sad

I’m American and I stand with our allies!!!!

As an American I stand in solidarity with Canada, this is not how you treat allies let alone close neighbors. There are no winners in trade wars, sadly a fact that seems to escape Trump.

Go Canada!!! ???\nWe betrayed, and backstabbed, and lied about, europeans stand by Canada. ????????????????️?️?️♥️♥️♥️???️?️?️?️?????????? \nWe love Canada. You have the moral compass Americans seem to have lost. I hope they wake up and stand up for themselves. ?️?️?️\nAllies dont lie about eachother, allies dont betray allies, allies dont side with the agressor, allies work together, allies dont dehumanize their allies. \nWhat America is doing to Americans is not ok. \nThey deserve healthcare, education, social security, the truth, not to become isolated and hated ect.
