Love from Oregon! Hit us hard, Canada! Show all these stupid trump supporters that the rest of the world won't put up with them voting for a dictator! He's a lying felon, and i can't believe we have to deal with this. Just know many many many americans also did not want this and stand with our longest ally! Go Canada!

Trump's despicable manners will again be on display during his speech tonight. He is THE GREAT AMERICAN EMBARRASSMENT.

This trade war is only going to bring True Americans, Canadians and Mexicans closer together in solidarity against the Trump Regime. Our shared suffering will draw us together and create a unified force against Donald Trump the likes of which no-one has yet seen arrayed against a particular regime since World War 2.

I am an American. I completely agree with PM Trudeau. I don't want this either. Imo Trump Should be brought up for TREASON. I don't like what has been happening to America. I would rather be in Canada!! Blessings to you. \n?????

So sorry, World, for this American president’s stupidity ! As soon as I can I’m coming to Canada and spend the day apologizing for his stupidity ! Thank you for staying strong against an ignorant bully named trump ! He doesn’t even know what a tariff is and the GOP is afraid to tell him Americans Pay for it ! ????‍♀️ I hate trump ! ?

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

It’s not about fentanyl at all. Donald Trump is just using that as an excuse. He is lying to the American people like he always does. Don’t back down Canada ?? do your worst!! Trump voters need to feel the pain to realize what they have voted for. I’m embarrassed and disgusted with America right now and who we are becoming. Be proud of your nation and your leadership Canada!! America isn’t and can’t be as long as DT is in office.

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!

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!

I don't know what Trump up to but im an American and thats what side im on, prices were going to increase anyways, we got the money ? Trump 2028

An American patriot here I support whatever our allies have to do!! Trump and his administration do not represent all of Americans!! Do not trust him, he never faces any consequences legal or otherwise! Our allies stand up to him and so must American patriots. If nobody tried to put up roadblocks he would become an authoritarian dictator like Putin only dumber!! His cannot happen his threat of World War III to Zelenskyy would be in part because of the US government! The American government is a hostile government at this time!!

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

Trump has made me ASHAMED to be an American… not proud.

Good news for Americans.\nNow that Canadians aren’t buying our bourbon the prices should go down in the US. This is a good thing because Americans are drinking heavier than ever since Trump‘s return.\nTariffs are already working and we Americans will be crying all the way to our next AA meeting.

Putin planted Trump more 20 yrs ago , the suspicion was always there his job is to weaken America and destroy their allies via the American presidency

He can posture and act tough all he wants but Canada will suffer much more than the United States. If you want fairness then make it an equal playing ground between countries. The majority of Americans, not like most of the liberals commenting here support Donald Trump

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

As much as this might hurt me as an American, Trudeau will always have my respect for standing firm against our enemies and calling out the harms that Trump is causing to America and the world. Trudeau speaks truth and that is admirable.

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

And now that trump has done this, let’s stop wasting money on American borders and the damned yankes take care of themselfs and they own border

The American government are weak ass politicians with no backbone too scared to stand up to Trump and fight for their constituents. This is the weakest, delusional, narcissistic, naive Republican Party that ever existed. To all the Mega followers who put this pathetic sh**hole administration in office you guys are about to really have a rude awakening. I believe Putin is using the Trump administration as puppets and he is the puppet master. Trump is not the people president he is Putin president.

There is no anti-Americanism Mrs. Paula Newton. There is anti-Trump.

The members of the U.S.Congress know exactly what there doing along with crooked President Trump....its a money grab thats all it is,these tariffs will only hurt American tax payers period,dont think for one minute that these crooked politicians arent in cahoots with these companies and Trump that will also profit from this off the backs of the American people and yes i know the American companies are responsible for paying the tariffs hence the increse passed on to the American people....These people that holds these offices are not in office to serve you,thats why they all leave office multi millionaires,i know it and they know it and maybe one day just maybe the average American citizen will realize this too.⏳⚖️???.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

I’m an American and I applaud you. Trump is evil.

My goodness! If every ally to America, so recently betrayed by Trump, spoke with Trudeau's candor of their country's experience(s) with 'Donald'. Will it take the collective of betrayed American allies to compel truth from Trump?

As an American I say good for Canada and anyone else who sanctions the us! Let Trump FAFO

Go Canada!! We as Americans will suffer, but I support your stand. Americans will have to suffer before they will understand what a moron trump is!!!

trump is a traitor! Hopefully Americans will wake up before it’s too late!

I can't make sense of the way that Trump and his lapdogs are acting. Trump is not my president and he doesn't speak for me. This is going to kill our friendships and Trump would rather be friends with Putin than Canada and Ukraine. I am so ashamed of these actions. Please Canada stop buying all American products and double the taxes. Don't put 25 percent put 50 percent on any of our products. Make Trump pay for his stupidity.

As an American I thought voting for Trump would be better then Kamala but I was wrong, if she won I don’t think we would be going down hill as clearly as this.

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.

I'm American and I hope the world knows that most Americans do not agree with Trump and his co-workers,\nI am not a Trump supporter I never have and never will, He won because many of his supporters voted for\nthere hate twords anyone that didn't look like them and now they are also screwed. Trump needs to be\nimpeeched and removed from office before the US is ran into the ground.

Trump, Vance and musk and the congressional R are all the dumbest in our nation. The majority of Americans agree with you and Zelenskyy. May god bless your country and deal with the fools R politicians of USA.

We must stand up for ourselves against the bully like Trump. I hope to see other world leaders to do the same thing like Canadian PM Trudeau. As he points out loud and clear that Trump hurts Americans!!!!

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

If all americans are against trump, who voted him!?!

Justin Trudeau is speaking to Americans like we don't know trump is crazy. Bro we know. Help

The worst administration in American history. The US are quickly running out of friends thanks to Trump & Co.

I’m American and I want to know the real reason why Trump is doing this. I believe we will never know. He’s such an embarrassment to our country.

Trump is a disgrace to the AMERICANS and our allies. Putin is doing all the calls and Trump is just Putin’s errand boy. For the 1rs time in history US is kneeling to a foreign country, Russia.

So sorry Canada ?? , the best and only excuse we have here in the US is that the trump administration does not know what he or they of what they are doing. They are the worst administration in American history. And No, trump is not a smart guy at all. Sorry again, Canada.

Trump’s rich friends who can’t compete with Canada have paid Trump to make things more expensive, so they can gouge Americans with high prices we need to accept, because we now have no alternative.

America voted for this… and the democrats helped by providing the worst presidential candidate ever smh… the majority of Americans voted for Trump and this is obviously what we wanted ??‍♂️

I AM ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! AND TO HAVE A DICTATOR LEADER SUCH AS TRUMP.?

The United States did not start a trade war with Canada, Trump did. The American people love Canadians. Trump is not the US.

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?

I am an American citizen but I agree with what you are doing. Trump is a putin, Xi and kim wanta be.

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.

Bravo, Canada! Americans brought this on themselves (and sadly, the rest of the world). I hold every person who voted for Trump PERSONALLY responsible for every vile deed committed by their cult leader.
