I ❤Canada! Trudeau speaks the truth and shows compassion for his own people as well as for the American people. I have never felt so ashamed to be an American.

For us Americans whose heads aren't shoved so far up our asses , we can see what we had for lunch. I apologize to the free world for Donald J Trump . I'm embarrassed to have to call this man president of the United States!

As an American, I Stand with America! Sorry to everyone here who will bash me but not really sorry.

As an american I wish Prime Minister would stay in office.

As an American, I absolutely stand with Canada!

Right. Canada -I’m with you! I’m An American ?? too

The Canadian Liquor Board website is already down while it's removing all Kentucky bourbon and American liquor off the web portal.

Canada should shut the electricity it provides to the USA immediately. It is time for the Trump and the Americans to learn that you do not betray friends and allies.

Being an American right now feels like being a little kid who knows why the cops are at the door at 6AM looking for dad.

Canada, so sorry that Dump has chosen to act this way. As an American l am mortified of our country's behavior

Please know the American people are not behind this

Right at the beginning he gets the American Democrats talking points, Putin puppet, Russian friend etc.

THANK YOU CANADA! Our Administration here in the US teaches us to be THANKFUL every minute of the day. SO THANK YOU! Thank You for helping us Americans defeat our Dictator! Thank You also to Mexico and China! Together we can defeat the great evil that is Donald Trump.

Trump and his puppet Vance perpetuate the old stereotype of the Ugly American.

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

Trudeau, you are a unmitigated IDIOT!! Any American that buys into your bullshit is an idiot. We know there are many liberal IDIOT'S in America. However Trump is not one of them.. The American people stand with Donald Trump.. Save your B.S. for someone else.

The 3 largest metal miners in Canada are a Canadian, UK/Australia and American corporations. This will hurt all 3.

My government is doing exactly what I voted them to do, Trudeau!!\nSo step away from the mic and let an adult speak for Canada. Because we Americans DO NOT LIKE YOU!

An American here. I didn't vote for that creature that is destroying our country. I fully support Canada!

Americans are to blame too...not just Trump....americans are stupid

If you're so strong ?.... Why are you begging the American people?. If you hold the cards just worry about your people. Look like you're begging and weak . A strong structure wouldn't blink and keep it moving (China and Mexico) Canada.... Crying to CNN.

As an American..This is how a leader speaks..and not a bunch of word salad BS like Trump and his goons address the world. Just embarrassing as hell.

Anti-Americanism?

As an American I will make a greater effort to buy Canadian

Trump's only goal is to isolate America and destroy Americans. We will all suffer including maga group. Good luck i hope we survive this idiot in office

It’s not Americans, its a few people who are f**king up our country. Elon and Trump needs to go

Thank you Canada! I am American and we are suffering. This validation is so important.

Didn't vote for Trump, will never support the GOP again. I'm with you Canada. All true Americans are. Trump belongs in jail, Musk should be deported.

Trump is creating a prison for Americans. Soon we’ll be like East & West Germany.

We the American people want our \n$200 billion back Canada cannot sustain itself without the $200 billion giving to them by the American people’s tax dollars

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

Prime Minister Truddeau most Americans don't want this either, we love our Canadian neighbors and hate seeing what this administration is doing. I and I believe most Americans support you in standing up against Dictators Trump and Musk. Stand strong and don't back down from this tyrant.

Our American government is broken!

As an (embarrassed) American, Canada, most Americans stand with you and we’re so sorry.

How is it possible that Americans can't see that the only countries in the WORLD who approve of a single of trump's choices are Hungary, turkey and Russia. Surely that's not the company you want to keep?

American billionaires are forcing Americans to fill their pockets

As a Canadian, I know the tariffs will hurt. However, I will not buy anything American. I will tighten my belt, and we will have eggs to supplement our diet. The USA is now a pro-Putin dictatorship.

Why would the American people listen to him after what he did to the Canadian truckers?0

We dont trust you shitbag, Canada already ousted you! The only thing this will do to anerica is make a bunch more american made millionaires. We will replace your Canadian bullshit with American made real shit. By Canada, u need us, we dont need you!

Even Americans cannot make sense of this madness. ?

Trumps negotiation tactics have proven as almost 100% success rate such far. The far left liberal Canada is not aligned with the American people anymore

As a Native American, \nI support Canada ??\nThe u.s. failed it’s self … the u.s. voted for an orange pedo clown who surrenders instead of fighting.

Canada, you are taking advantage of Americans

Americans who voted for trump. Welcome to the new America of high prices and high inflation. Stable genius!!!

I am ashamed to be an 'American! I fully support the Canadian response to this trade war!

We all that only has loyalty to himself and Putin! So let’s all thank trump for the increase of our groceries, gas, clothing and so much more! Plus cutting programs that are paid through the American people’s taxes to GIVE A $5 TRILLION DOLLAR TAX CUT FOR THE WEALTHY AND CORPORATIONS! WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MONEY!

The world needs to speak up more! The American people don't want it either. We're helpless in the US to do anything with this stupidity. It's all Trump & project 2025.

Well, he spoke directly to the American People, but your title was close enough, CNN.

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!
