I’m ashamed to even call myself a US citizen. For the 78 million people that voted for trump, f*ck you to hell. I am so ashamed of this country. We’re a damn joke and I don’t have any pride in my US passport. This is so embarrassing.

I'm no American neither Canadian but if you want to fix the rift go meet trump and tell him you assigned part of your defence budget in manning the border to counter this fentanyl issue.\nThen again the fentanyl might be an excuse but I would do it still had I been Canadian leader

He really doesn’t wanna play with Trump Trump a businessman that’s what America has become a business so it’s only fair if you’re gonna charge 25 I’m gonna charge you 25 right that makes sense

Trump is driving America to the ground and quickly. I’m in utter disgust.

Why was Trump voted? I'm afraid for my country. I'm afraid for the world. What a frigging world we now live in.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

I'm so frustrated, Trump said he wants CANADA to be the fifty first state so we can have all those precious minerals . He said it on tv

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

I'm an American with some family ties to Canada and I'm deeply ashamed of how my government under Trump is systematically destroying it's historic relationships with almost all our allies. Trump and his cronies are only interested in the use of raw power to dominate the current geo-political reality. Thank you Trudeau for speaking so bluntly and honestly and for standing up to our bully-in-chief.

I'm with Canada, Trump is in violation of the United States Constitution! Trump is waging War on the people of our Country, he is destroying our Democracy!

I feel like I'm watching a really bad movie Trump is a child period

Putin is hoping the US loses all its allies. I’m surprised Trump doesn’t just call it the gulf of Russia.

I’m sure Trump is shaking in his boots ?

He's speaking directly to Trump as much as I'm directly speaking to you. Lol

Usually I’m not interested in anything this guy says but for once, I agree with everything he said. Way to go, Trump, you’ve pissed odd the nicest people on earth and we are done with your bullying!

Mr. Trudeau / I'm An American. I'm appalled by Trump - Didn't vote for this FOOL .... I'm Embarrassed as an American that Our Government is doing this

Dear Americans, this man you call intelligent, is stepping down due to how much suffering he has caused this country, and no I’m not a right wing trump jock rider; I believe trump is a fascist, which is very clear by his expansionist ambitions, and his attempt at forcing my country into submission

I'm proud Donald Trump is my president ❤

I'm from Michigan, Trump is a psychopath, I wish I was a Canadian citizen.

I'm a 71 year old US citizen and I hate Trump. I didn't vote for him, nor would I EVER! I'm truly afraid of what our future holds. Please pray for us, the regular folks, not billionaires. We love you Canada.?? ❤

I've had a boss like Trump and a boss like Trudeau. The first like Trump yelled, complained, and whined over the smallest problems. The team, including himself, were miserable all the time. The second like Trudeau made the hardest problems easy to manage. He led, was transparent, and prioritized solutions over blame. I'm currently working for the latter and it's been multiple years of success. No one from the first team stuck around to sink with the ship.

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

I'm moving to Canada. Trump truly scares me!

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

I’m a Us citizen and I don’t approved Trump actions.

Did Trump ever mention Fentanyl as the cause for this? This is the first I'm hearing about that

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

I'm with Canada!\nTrump is a Putin's agent and every Democratic countries have to fight against Trump.

Hmmmm.... If this isn't going to hurt Canada at all and only hurt the US (ie helping Canada) then why is Trudeau so upset? I think I'm gonna let this one ride out and see how things play out. Trump is a brilliant businessman as is Musk and they understand economics like no other. I am thinking there is more to this than what Trudea is saying.

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

trump is a conpkete a hole and m o r o n

I'm glad you know so much about America and the American people. We support Donald Trump 100%

Serious question: if we agree that tariffs are a bad idea, a dumb idea, why then do countries targeted by Trump retaliate with tariffs? \nNote I'm not in favour of tariffs.

Blistering speech? Literal propaganda. I’m praying for leftists to learn how to spot propaganda. It’s so mind boggling. Trump makes speeches thousands times better yet Hes “incoherent”. If trump cured cancer they would say “cancer rights matter!”

Donald Trump:You did a wonderful job Trudeau. And I’m choosing you to be the first governor of the 51th state of The United States.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

I’m American & I did NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP! I stand with you Canada! Do what you need to do!?

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤

Any American business thinking about jumping into the Russian market is playing Russian roulette—except every chamber’s loaded. Putin’s already made it clear he’ll jail Americans whenever it suits him, and yet Trump seems determined to push U.S. interests into that trap.\n\nWhich brings me back to the bigger question—what exactly does Putin have on Trump? I get that Trump’s got the moral compass of a reptile hunting for its next meal, but even his own former foreign policy advisors—Bolton, Tillerson, Kelly—have all admitted they can’t quite explain his deference to Putin. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but damn, at what point do we stop pretending this isn’t deeply suspicious?

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

I’m in Montana….Trump is hurting small business…..I didn’t vote for Comrade Trump…..

I’m an American and I just want to apologize to Canada. You have always been a good neighbor and a friend. You don’t deserve this. The Donald Trump version of America has shown that its treaties and its word are meaningless by betraying its own agreements with you. I am truly sorry. And I urge you to do what you need to do to protect yourself. The truth is that the America we all once knew, the one I grew up in, is gone.

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

Say it loud Prime minister Trudeau!\nSAY IT LOUD!\nI'm an outraged American citizen!\nHe needs to hear this from Leaders from the world over! \nI voted for Harris and I'm outraged at Trump's behavior toward world leaders!

I would’ve voted for Trump, but as of now I’m happy I didn’t

I would’ve voted for Trump, but as of now I’m happy I didn’t

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

Trump doesn't care about fair, doesn't care about truth, doesn't care about anything other than 1) how much he can get people to fawn over him and 2) how much money he can make off of any situation, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.\n\nHey Trudeau, why don't you just annex the US as the 11th Canadian province! That's what I'm talking aboot!
