As an American, I'm embarrassed at our leadership. I stand with Canada on this.

I’m an American, and I strongly agree Canada retaliation to trade war even though I voted for dumping trump

As he thinks so little of Canada's long friendship and a 100 some years of protecting the Americans back, I'm beginning to think we should be doing the opposite. Reduce efforts at the border and let the foreign immigration, crime and drugs flow south into the USA. It's no longer our responsibility to protect their back.

These actions against Canada are disgraceful. For the first time in my life I feel ashamed to say I’m an American. If there was ever a more fitting time to overthrow an American President the time is now. Trump needs to go.

I'm a British American. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Europe (and of course Ukraine).

Canada ?? we are sorry for this pathetic behavior , our pathetic government ! And as an American I’m sorry !

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

I'm surprised how many Americans are upset with this move against Canada, from the left and right. I'm not letting Donald affect my friendships I have down in the States with friends and family.

As an American, I gotta say… we really shouldn’t be doing Canada like this. I get it when it comes to China and other countries, but Canada?! I do not approve! ?? and ?? are basically besties regardless of the government drama and whatever substances may be involved.\n\nMeanwhile, Mexico is out here like, “Hello? Focus on me!” ??\n\nAnd in true Canadian fashion… “I’m so sorry, eh!” ??

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

Sad American citizen here that didn’t vote for Donald. I wish we had strength like that representing our country. I’m with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine

I'm an American and let me make this perfectly clear what I heard. Coming out of Justin Trudeau's mouth today was the gospel truth. Our government is off the rails and who's to blame the GOP and the magas. Canada this American supports you 150%

I'm so embarrassed and ANGRY at Orange Hitler's stupid actions against Canada, Mexico, NATO & Ukraine.\n\nCanada, we love you and will always be grateful for you & your dependable assistance (like during Iran's takeover of US Embassy depicted in movie Argo).\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING UP TO THIS BULLY TYRANT.\n\nTo my fellow Americans: Now is not the time to argue about who voted for Trump & who didn't. NOW IS THE TIME TO VOTE OUT ALL POLITICIANS WHO HAVE NO SPINE TO TELL TRUMP NO.\nVOTE. THEM. OUT.

I’m an anti-trump American and I say “GO CANADA!!!”

I'm an American that PROUDLY STANDS WITH CANADA!!

As a common sense American. I'm with you Canada

I'm American and I stand with canada...dumbnald trump is dumb

As an American I fully support Trudeau and Canada. As far as I'm concerned Canada should raise tariffs against the USA for EVERYTHING starting at 100%. The USA under Trump is now Canada's enemy, just as it is the enemy of Ukraine, Europe and the entire rest of the non-fascist world.

I'm American and I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine ...God help us

Go Canada, the UK is with you. I'm sorry for the decent Americans caught up in this. Please fight to remove this vile regime from office. Trump, Vance and Musk are a dream for Russia and other dictatorships.

I'm an American. I'm so embarrassed about how our country is being run. Canada, I'm with you 100%. You do what needs to be done, even if it makes my life more difficult.

I’m American I stand with Canada ?? \nOur government is nuts I do not agree with them

This is what a real leader does. I'm an American and I stand with Canada.

As an American, I’m disgusted with the regime 31% voted for. More Americans than not are appalled at what Trump is doing to Canada and Mexico! And Ukraine and the EU as well. Please world leaders, continue to stand up to Trump!

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.

I'm sorry Canada ??, from US.\n\nThis war is Trump/Musk vs American people, Canada, Mexico, and the whole world around.

I’m an American with Canada

I'm not a fan of Trudeau's but on this I am in full agreement. When Quebec is on the same page as the rest of Canada that means something. So to all our American neighbours, YANKEE STAY HOME!!! Elbows up!

I'm an American and I approve Canada's choice.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

I'm from USA and I stand by you fully Canada and Ukraine. This Prime Minsister is for the people in Canada. What an amazing leader. Im so disgusted by all this and so mad at all the Americans that voted for Donald

Guys, I looked at the GDP of Canada and Mexico on Google. About 2 trillion each. The US has 27 trillion. I'm not Canadian or American or Mexican, I'm just wondering: do these countries have anything to counter Trump with?

I’m American and I stand with Canada also Ukraine. Trump has made the US a nightmare and joke to live in. I was afraid his first term and terrified this second term. I did not vote or support this man.

I'm American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Do what you have to do to stand up to the bully. I don't blame you all at all!

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

American, that absolutely supports Canada…. Granted Im a black American, so let that sit in…. I’m sorry we had ignorant people who put racism and bigotry of valuing our democracy. Pray for all of us…

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

I’m an American who stands with Canada and Ukraine

As an American, I'm so proud of Canada and the rest of the World for not standing for the actions of an incompetent, lieing, wanna-be-dictator. God bless you all! Most Americans are just as appalled and angry as you are! Stay strong my friends!

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

As an American, I find it insane that we are picking a fight with Canada. As far as I’m concerned, Canada, Australia and the UK are extended family. You don’t disrespect and threaten family like this.

Hey Trump, this is what a real leader looks like. As an American I'm so ashamed of our government. We love you Canada.

I’m so embarrassed about what is being done in my name as an American right now . I am sorry Ukraine. I am sorry Canada

As an American I'm proud of Canada's response to 47's tariff insanity.

I'd move to Canada but I'm pretty sure Americans aren't welcome there any more. Who can blame them?

I’m an American standing with Ukraine and Standing with canada

Canada, Germany is proud of you❤ \nand I´m proud of the amazing comments from the lovely Americans, who see the truth of the face of Trump. He is the wolf in sheeps cloth

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down un popular leader in Canada.

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.
