I don’t think the majority of Americans want this. I did not vote for Donald Trump and I’m sure a lot of people that did are regretting their decision. This is so sad and depressing and stressful. God bless us all.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

They the Americans are not our friends!

CNN IS FAKE NEWS AND ANTI - AMERICAN.

Americans ignorantly voted for Trump. They should enjoy it.\n\nElection has consequences?

Tariffs just end up hurting the final consumer, Trump needs to implement measures that promote American growth and American Industries but not hurting the final consumer. Also Russia is the aggressor and needs to pay for all the destruction it has caused so far and economic impact !!

Americans get what they voted for, with all consequences

If tariffs only hurt american consumers why does he care?\n\nI also thought he stepped down.

It's getting to the point that as an american. I almost just want to move somewhere else. This administration is a clown show. It's tiring

If Americans listen properly they will know that president donald trump loves to address other presidents without using their titles. Even Netanyahu was addressed as BB throughout their last meeting.

go Europe. thanks for being honest. this american wants trump out of office, soon. the working class americans do not have the power, so diappionted with our GOP. they too away from our veterans, our farmers, children of the world, our elderly and us.

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

I’m an American. I support you Canada!????

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

We the American people except the MAGA cult members, did not choose this.

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

The Americans got what they voted for! It's called Democracy! Just let the US go down the chosen path as dictated by PROJECT 2025 and let the Americans group up with DPRK, Russia and Iran. The rest of the free world, the civilized world move on with maintaining the the civilized maintenance of Democracy!

CNN is full of bots and they are anti American. These comments are all fake propaganda. Thank you President Trump keep the heat on them until they respect us .

We the American people except the MAGA cult members, did not choose this.

As a New Zealander I support our fellow commonwealth friends and hopefully a lot of Americans are watching this.

You don't need to speak to the American people you act like we have a say in what happens ?

The US did not slap tariffs on Canada, the boss of the US did it-against the American people’s best interest. Out of spite & a revengeful rotten soul.

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

Americans! Call your congresspersons ASAP and insist they skip tonight's Presidential Address in protest.

Prime Minister Trudeau is far, far, far above the likes of Donald Trump. As an American citizen I apologize to the rest of the free world for our political and moral failures. Please be patient with us as we work to excise this political cancer from our culture. It may be a long haul but I keep my hopes high.

Canada sells us 250 billion dollars more than they buy of our stuff so boo hoho Americans are sick of r so called allies screwing us

Wow, a leader who actually cares about his people and speaks articulately. We Americans should be so lucky.

Sir as an American I am with you. The respect that should be among nations is not any longer in the USA. My respect to you sir. We know that orange is lying and wants a war. He wants to copy history by creating a new depression influence by the devils that are surrounding him. He is decrepit, highly influenciable and someone not to trust. I am disgusted for all that is happening. We need you as a nation to help us combat evilness with logic and kindness. God Bless you. Americans are with you and in spite of all this madness we are with you and your people.

Elections have consequences. The majority of Americans voted for this.

Americans who understand what is going on do not want this either.

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.

I am an American and very proud of Canada. I jumped up and shouted when he said 25 back to you America????? You GoBoy!!!!!

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

I'm a American and to be honest I'm proud of Canada

Pay attention to these fake leaders. Try to play tough!! 4 years American was suffering, and they haven't done anything but to support what was ruined the American. Now, a real man in the office doesn't fall to this same bs from sleep joe, even the Canadian was suffering. No voice was heard. And now this????

As an American and live near the border of Canada ?? in western ny ? I’m sorry to the people of Canada ? trump is the worse to take office our country. And he lied to our people

As a true American, God bless Canada ?? I stand with YOU!!!

Trudeau, a true leader. Trump, sick and evil. I am an American. I am a Texan.

Trump is aligned with Putin. He's an enemy of the American people, an enemy of Western democracy, and an enemy of humanity as a whole.

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

For the first time, I'm ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. Trump does not speak for me. I ask Canadians and Mexicans to stand firm against tyranny, no matter where it comes from.

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.

That’s why Canada wins the war: they will look after the people that suffer, I imagine the Americans are expected to die on the streets ?

Can we seize AMERICAN assets (BANKS, Properties, ECT)

It is time to understand Trump only exposes pretext that aren't really his concerned he just want to have an excuse to do what he wants to do and this is grabbing some resources punching external allies etcetera it is time to understand that nothing will please Donald Trump government so it is time to bypass America this is very sad for some of us that have made business with American businesses and companies it is not easy it is not good to overnight rethink everything because of that guy in the White House

Preach Trudeau! The American government is desperately trying to hurt American families & lie about who is truly at fault. Many of us know the truth & who is truly at fault but unfortunately less than half of all voters believed his lies & manipulation & voted for this nightmare. ?

Luxembourg here. F*** Trump and his cronies. Americans ! Those of you who disagree need to go to the streets !! Now and massively.

Please know, that just because most voters voted him in, that does NOT mean most Americans support him. Just those who got out to vote that day. We don’t want this. I support Canada, Ukraine and the rest of the European nations ??

Trump is turning America into a fascist government destroying the middle an lower class.The tariffs will starve alot of Americans, cutting all programs that help people will be devastating. Elections dont matter anymore Musk an starlink has fixed that. His goal is to mirror Russia an all fascist governments. He's turning Russia enemies into US enemies.

I am an American and Canada I don’t want this either. But you need to do what needs to be done and I support that!! You go Canada! I did not vote for Trump, and I want Trump to fail, because if he doesn’t, I will lose my right to vote. Trump has never been held accountable for his actions! He needs to be arrested for treason and terrorism.
