From the USA; I want to apologize to Canada. You should be proud to have such a strong leader such as Trudeau.

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

Apologies from America. Once again. Supporting Canada.

I am so ashamed of our country in this moment in history. I stand with Canada and send apologies from California.

As an American I apologize to Canada we have no wish to betray you we are being betrayed from the inside!

As an American, I apologize for all this, God Bless Canada!

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

I'm ashamed of my country.Trump does not care about the.U.S.We are behind Canada and apologize for what he is doing

Dear Canada: I joke that I can see you from my patio. (A few trees & very cold lake in between) My apologies our government has treated our prized ally so poorly. My family & friends didn’t vote for this. - Wisconsin

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

Prime Minister no apologies American supporting Canada. Thankyou!

I’m so freaking embarrassed and I would like to apologize to our allies such as Canada ??

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

As an American, I also stand with Canada, Europe, and Ukraine. I don't want this either and I apologize. Trump, the convicted felon, rapist, pathological lier and conman is a shameful stain on our country.

I apologize to Canada as an American, that we have given our country to a fascist dictator who is obviously a Russian agent.

As a US citizen, I apologize on behalf of this corrupt administration. I certainly didn't vote for the ??, and I'm not sure how anyone could have... yet, here we are. Half of the US certainly deserves it, and I fully understand the need for extreme measures at this point. What he did to Zelenskyy and what he is doing to our allies...yall do what ya gotta do. Half of us are rooting for Canada, Ukraine, and our allies. Idk what's wrong with the other half, but its shameful to say the least. It was never about fentanyl. Trump doesn't give half of a fuck if people die from fentanyl or otherwise.

Trudeau, Americans LOVE YOU AND CANADA. Please accept my apology on behalf of America. Donald Trump is shameless and is an absolute moron. Godspeed to you and all phenomenal Canadians. Sending love! ??????

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.

Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.

As a US citizen, I approve this message. Apologies Canada, and world.

I am an American and I did not vote for Trump! This is ridiculous! I apologize to Canada on behalf of us Americans who did not ask for this. We support you Canada.

Canada about to clap back so politely, Trump won’t know if it’s a threat or an apology

On behalf of all Americans with an active brain i do sincerely apologize for the dumb tariffs imposed by Trump and Musk and i hope that after Trump leaves office we can get someone who understands tarrifs and its effects and who will revoke this tariffs and restore the healthy America and Canada relationship once again.

As a war vet I'm ashamed of the board of billionaires that have sold out our vets and seniors for wealthy tax cuts, shamed our friends in their time of need and propped up dictators while kicking the poor and disenfranchised. I'm 71 and I apologize to Europe, Mexico and Canada, Ukraine and Gaza for the shameful leadership we have sadly been saddled with here stateside!

Trump insists on an apology from Zelensky because he claimes that Zelensky showed him respect - and at the same time Trump calls Justin Trudeau - who is the Prime Minister of Canada - for governor. Talk about showing respect. So I'm going to call Trump a smallminded, vindictive megalomaniac, a pathological liar and a sick narcissistic baby. Nobody respects Trump; they fear him because he is an unreliable madman with a lot of military strenght and (so far) economic strenght he can threaten everybody with. Pictures of Stalin and Hitler must be hanging in his bedroom...

LOVE CANADA! I apologize for what that monster is doing! People here will be hurt financially, but perhaps that is a lesson that those who voted for that person needs to learn!? God bless CANADA!

As an American I apologize to Canada and the world for the actions of our government. I and my immediate family never voted for Trump. Good Luck ? to all of us.

We are with you Mr. Prime Minister. We love you and the people of Canada. Just some misguided, hateful people that chose to put this racist, ignorant and criminal fool back into the Oval Office. He has no interest or knowledge of governance. We deeply apologize. May God bless you and your people ❣️?????? May God deliver us all from evil.

As an American, I must say we have boot-licking morons running our Government. I can't believe EVERY Republican agrees with anything that Trump says. It's like we're living in a Twilight Zone episode. I feel so bad for Pr. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. I'm embarrassed to be American and I can't believe so many Americans were voting for this clown. That probably bothers me more than anything. Apologies to the world and our friends in Canada. JT is being too kind. Shut down your borders to the USA. Ontario....cut your electrical and energy power to the USA. Cut off all trade. I hope China does the same. Make the USA swirl down the drain in pain. I don't want to wait for 2 years to try and vote in more Democrats to put a stop Trump .Bully him back. Bullies always back down when strongly confronted.

I extend my heartfelt apologies to Canada and Mexico, and to Ukraine, my thoughts are with you. I pray for the safe return of your children. No one should endure such hardship. I regret that this administration has not upheld the promises made by previous ones. My heart is filled with prayers for my friends and allies. America, I love you; let's unite against the challenges facing our government. It’s time to remember our true strength and who holds the power.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

GOOD JOB CANADA!!! ❤❤❤Do NOT let our POTATO bully you. As an ACTUAL American,and a Minnesotan, I have to apologize. This thing is not how many of us think or feel. I am so sorry for the evilness of this puke.

Dear Canada, I am so sorry my country is doing this. It is reprehensible and I did not vote for it. I apologize for the half of my country that is blind and uneducated. Do what you have to do, I support it.

Sincere apologies, Canada. I'd like to say this isn't who we are as Americans, but thanks to 78 million assholes, I'm beginning to believe it is.

As an American I apologize to Canada and all of our friends. I did not vote for Trump. Many of us do not want him either. Donald Trump is a liar and mentally insane. We the people of the usa should sue our government for mental and emotional abuse. I side with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

I want to be counted here and express my view that I stand with you Canada. I am ashamned of this president. My apology among most americans.

As a sane American, I sincerely apologize to you, Canada!! trump is an absolute disgrace!!

American from California who did NOT vote for this. Many of us stand with Canada and Mexico. We apologize that we have so many idiots and this disgusting criminal was voted in. Hopefully, he disappears soon, but if it's in 4 years... Hopefully, we can rebuild alliances and friendships. We're sorry. The USA is shit right now.

From Alabama we are with you Canada…I apologize on behalf of our washed up TV reality-show clown of a president.

Dear Donald. I think you shot yourself in the foot. You were too hasty. Apologize to Canada and scrap the silly tariffs. Canada has responded to your border concerns.

I’m one of the millions of Americans that loves and supports Canada ….and apologize for our elected Moron.

As an American who did not vote for the giant orange useless idiot, I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the American voters who had enough common sense to not vote for trump.

Apologies to Canada. Power to Canada!
