I don’t think is good ideas to do this your allies country or friend in my own opinion period. That’s sad

the U.S is not a trustworthy ally anymore. The U.S has always had the best and smartest people in the world, but sadly U.S citizens chose to elect a dumb person as it's leader and now they all have to pay the price... really sad.

Speaking as an American. A REAL American who stands by our Constitution and the laws of our land and not with a TRAITOR. We do NOT want this. I have always been clueless to how Americans can hear what this traitor says and support it. It reminds me of the movie Shalow Hal. The woman was fat and unattractive but the guy saw this slim beautiful model. This is American right now. We have this Fat Traitor and some Americans see this STRONG Man who is going to make their lives wonderful by hurting all the black and brown people. Right out of the gate he’s telling them all he’s here to hurt and harm every American, but will still hurt and harm black and brown people the most. Many of them will be removed from earth in the largest earth removal since the mid 1930’s. This will end badly for him and all who supports him. The sad result will be the total destruction of our country and if you listened to him. He kept telling you that.

American here supporting Canada and Mexico. I'm embarrassed by what that idiot has done and will continue to do sadly. Please know that not all Americans support this. In fact MOST of us don't, and we are standing with you.

Sad day!

Exactly, putin's matryoshka doll in the White House. Sadly

You won’t break our souls Donald.\nSuch a traitor to all of America & and a world wide menace. Makes me so sad for us and for this world. Congress you can’t ignore this! Act accordingly and remove the toxic waste by impeachment before it’s too late.

I wish Trudeau was our president. He doesn't lie, cheat, or hurt HIS country. I am also sad that Trudeau will soon not be the Prime Minister of Canada.

I'm an American, this makes me sad?my anxiety ?

Sad most of us didn't choose this mf

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

What a Sad US Admin !! Impeach to Stick this Time !!

What is it going to take for Americans to realize they are heading pedal to the metal to become a 3rd world country run by a dictatorship? 6 weeks of the current presidency will take hundred of years to recover, if ever. So sad.

Why this is happening? I think this is the question of americans too? So sad? hopefully pres trump will change this decision

This stuff is so obvious, it's sad that grown men have to explain it like 3rd grade teachers.

From the Netherlands I stand with Canada and Ukraine. And not the lying authoritarian Trump regime!\n\nI remember Trump saying America is no longer the laughing stock of the world... True now we can really only shake our heads at this point. It's gone beyond laughing stock. It's just sad now.

sad to say, we as Canadians are the enemy. trump is in bed with Russia. Yuck , I just got the trump and putin visual in my head.

The west can not trust the USA no more I am sad to say

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

I am so sad that anti-americanism is going to soar because of Trump’s outrageous behaviour on all fronts. Farewell to the international order that was before Trump and has passed away through these last six weeks.

sad that he turned the head?

Just curious, currently (before Trump's Tariffs) how much TARIFFS does Canada pay for American goods and how much TARRIFS does America pay for Canadian goods? If Trump is increasing TARIFFS more than Canada, then that's sad.

Its so sad?? God help us a mad man is hurting all of the World pray everyone pray hard for Gods intervention....we love Canadian neighbors ...true Christians never act lime this never?????

This is just sad!

He thinks we want it. He’s wrong. I don’t I’m sorry it’s happening. I’m sad I’m an American. As a Christian I will be praying earnestly and to Canada- I Am personally sorry for stupid people ?

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

It's sad when we're no longer the grownups in the room?

Canadian here(Quebec) I feel sad for all the Whiskey industries in Kentucky, those workers didn't deserved the counter-effects of the tarifs. Everything can be done with respect & diplomacy, but it's not the road President Trump took. Fellow Americans, I am very sorry about that, rest assured that us here, we make the difference between your President & all of you.

As an American, my heart breaks for my country. It is so sad that our friendship has been damaged.

This is a attack on American people not just them sad

So sad

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

Is kind of sad American should be lead by the smartest person in this planet

I am a american, and I'm so sad what our government doing, with the world

Except for polievre who took this sad occasion to promote himself. Very much how Canadians should not behave at this moment

It is so sad that so many will have to suffer because of one delusional man.

I'm Brazilian, and it legit makes me so sad to see the Canadians being left this way by Trump... it's just a dumb situation, it's a selfish move made by him, and that sure affects Canada a lot, and that's why my family and I stopped buying American products. Stay safe and strong, canucks.\n❤

This is what a real leader looks like. From and American who is sad our elected (and not elected...) officials slip further into fascism. Love my Canadian brothers and sisters.

I wish i could move to Canada??? sorry neighnors..i am American and I am in shock..also sad.

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

It’s hard to truly put into words how hard it is to be an American right now who doesn’t agree with our government’s actions. I’m honestly just so sad.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

You can give an intelligent speech but if the people who need to hear you are part of a mass cult, your words fall on deaf ears. Sadly, the only people listening already agree with you.

Trump is trash and he wants to be a dictator so bad is sad

This is bad for Americans. Very sad.

4 years of Trump, Puttin's friend. Sooo Sad. Wanting it as a 51 state So crazy.

General Clark, thank you for talking about what republicans choose to ignore, putin IS playing Donald. So sad.

A powerful speech. Very sad, but it is necessary against an egocentric us president who supports the aggressive dictator putin. Greetings from Berlin.

so sad that those Trump supporters still believe what he did is good which does not make sense

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you
