All my respect goes to Trudeau, who remained apologetic to the citizens of both countries throughout his speech. SHAME ON CNN for calling it Anti-Americanism !!! Trump picked this fight and let's not forget that ! And for NOTHING. another embarrassing moment for legacy news media that just proves either how dumb or how corrupt most are.

I’m picking up that CNN viewers are anti- Trump.

I found quite weird the comment of Paula Newton. If you answer to an act of market aggression, you are anti American. So to be a friend to Americans you need to thank and kneel when the boss shows up. Quite a strange, weird concept of friendship.

It does make sense. MAGA views the EU and Canada as woke. They like Russia because it is anti-woke and religious. They feel like Ukraine and Zelensky have sided with the Democracts. It is that simple.

I don’t think this is anti-Americanism. This is fighting on your side of a trade war. I believe Canadians, including Trudeau, are otherwise working very well together with Americans.

As a anti Trudope I'm actually impressed by his speech today, but make no mistake he's trying to stir up the relationship between Trump and the American ppl all to make his party look good to us.

Why does it feel like everytime I watch a cnn report it seems like they are anti-American?

It is very sad that a once called the land of the free and democracy, is now allied to the most corrupt, evil and anti democratic land of Russia. I hope the Americans can get their stuff together and kick that yellow hairdo and send him and his dog named Vance alone to Russia.

I thought this guy was supposed to be weak and anti-Canadian? Maybe we should back off this name-calling and look at facts rather than your opinions?

The Canadians are not anti-American. They are against our current government. Many Americans are not happy with these policies either. Its going to cause massive inflation.

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

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

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.

it's not anti-Americanism. It's anti-Donald doing dumb things.

That is NOT \nanti- americanism. This is anti crap and anti bullying. Canada will not be the only one that will retaliate. Americans have got to wake up and do something.

Paula Newton uses the wrong word.....this was NOT anti-Americanism. He was saying the opposite-----and that Americans were the victims of their government as well.

what bullshit from ignorant uninformed anti-American sources. We aren't unaware of our generous history as apparently Trudeau (who historically has not been a friend of the United States) is (as well as the anti-American critics posting comments) and so we don't feel guilty of anything but trying to level the playing field.

CNN is a fan of anything anti American. Please tell the Canadian PM that Castro was a murder and worse than Putin. He sucks like CNN. Canada has had tariffs on American products for years.

Blitzer is such an anti-American coward.

THIS IS NOT ANTI-AMERICANISM!!! THIS IS ANTI-IDIOT DONALD TRUMP!!\nDon’t try spinning it to further the disintegration of our nation as you lean into Trump! \nGrow some backbone and tell the truth!

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

As a patriotic American, I cannot support criminal felon traitor Trump, his anti-American, anti- democratic Maga cult!! Our current government is unconstitutional out for the millionaire and billionaires not the people!! Our constitution says we the people!! I support our allies. Trump is a bully, but he is dumb, weak and pathetic. If I have to suffer financially over Trump‘s in it leadership, I’m willing to do so. It’s a small sacrifice compared to what the people that came before me did!! Trump should not even be our president. He committed insurrection. He is a total piece of SH.l!+!!!

Anti Anericanism ... ??? No ..Anti Canada more like ..this is your president who causes this shite show im the world !!!

Anti Canadian is more like it.

The anti-US wave has started ! \nSad for the americans that did not choose this dictator… or realize now the mistake they did…

The anti-americanism has been happening for years inside our country by the left and the fake news. I thought celebrities were leaving. Ellen left only to return 2 weeks later. You are part of the problem. Get it together people. You got people burning tesla car chargers and vandalizing random teslas owned by innocent people smh

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

He stepdown , we need election soo , nerver trumper is in your blood ! Why ! Anti usa = nazi , not russia

As an Asian-American........Im standing for America. This comment section is anti-American.

What a disorienting disconnect - to realize you're with the bad guys, and there's nothing you can do about it. This is how anti-fascist Germans must have felt in 1938. Maybe rational Americans could put up their hands and march to the border, begging to be taken in and waving white flags. If the Canadians turn us away, they'll at least be polite about it.

We’re not anti- American, we’re anti-dictatorship. We are supportive of the good Americans. We didn’t take their jobs, savings and are decimating your country the idiots that voted this dictator in because their greed of becoming rich did it. You’ve been suckered, don’t put that on us. Take some responsibility for your own fucking mess. We didn’t shit on you! YOU CREATED THIS WORLD WIDE MESS.

Anti-Americanism- WTF this whole trade war is trump’s doing- Trump is anti-Canada

I don't think the US has any friends anymore all because of one person and his thuggy support group. I can't imagine putting anybody more anti American in the presidency. Also Donald is and idiot.

We name a competent anti drug tzar, they issue a pardon to the biggest drug dealer in humanity.

45 is the anti-Midas: everything he touches is turned to ashes.

Satanists vs Anti-Christ trade wars

Fellow US Americans it’s time to stand up. We cannot allow the Oligarchy to succeed here. Many have been deceived into believing that these men had the US people in mind as they came to power and it has been greatly proven that all Trump and Musk care about is strong arm power to become something anti American. Donald Trump should be seen as the highest risk to our national security today. He wants to weaken our country not make it great, harming our allies opens us up as a target for our enemies. \n\nCanada, beautiful nation, the US American people are so sorry, you have done nothing to earn this treatment. Boycott US goods, use any power you have to fight back against wannabe dictator Trump. Ukrainians, we are so sorry. The greater US People do not want this and we do not want Trump. \n\nUS people, keep boycotting these oligarchs while they leisure, don’t let them rest in peace, they don’t deserve it. We are the ones who are paying while they vacation and dine on our dimes, stolen from us.

CNN IS FAKE NEWS AND ANTI - AMERICAN.

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 .

Thst's anti- Trumpism not anti- americanism. Trump is \n clearly seditious & totatly incompetent. Convicted felons DONT belong in the W.H.

And that anti-Americanism will continue and get worse and worse because of Trump! In a very short time, Trump's ONLY friend will be Putin!

Let's not become anti-American. Let's just become more pro-Canadian. Thinking too much of America has put us in this situation. Left or right on the political spectrum. Let's just make our parties put US first, not U.S.

I'm sorry, that's not anti-Americanism. Word choices matter, and this was intentional. Think what you will of Trudeau or Canada, the reason people are turning away from networks like CNN is at least in part because you continue to pay people who are incentivized to frame everything as pro-America or anti-America. Some better choices might have included: frustrated, honest, distressed, resolved. Nothing Trudeau said was in any way anti-American.

This is NOT ANTI-AMERICANISM!!! It is in response to what YOUR president has DONE!!! IT IS YOUR FAULT!!!!! IT IS DONALD'S FAULT!!! NOT THE PRIME MINISTER'S AND NOT CANADA'S!!! \nOUR PRIME MINISTER CARES VERY DEEPLY ABOUT ALL CANADIANS !!! \n\nCANADIANS CHOSE TO STOP SHOPPING AMERICAN BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR PRESIDENT!!!

I am surprised the CNN allowed any anti Trump speech here seeing as they have their head so far up Trump's backside when Jake Tapper speaks it comes out of Trump's nose!

It's not Anti Amercanism, its politicians and money.\nWe love you, we are not playing your president's threat games, we are responding to protect our economy.\nBroadcasters would do well to carefully weigh their spins right now, this is not a drama, it's real?.\nWe want to support American businesses.\nThis is all unneccesarily crazy and scary.\nLong live Diplomacy and Democracy.\n❤?❤

It's not Ant-American! It's Anti-Dump! I don't blame him. Stop blaming Canada!

We have been asking for years. Take a good look at the city’s and the numbers of family’s kids and adults have died yearly from this.100,000s have died a year. Lives and family’s have been destroyed and the crime that has come with it. We have been asking for years now they claim they are helping. We need to depend on Americans and America more this can be good for us more Americans buying and selling to Americans. All these countries have gotten the better deal with us for years. Now we want the better deal.Our tax dollars have gone to all these other countries now we say no more and everyone is anti American.

Hilarious. An anti democratic leader who has proven to be Pegasus the most single awful Canadian leader. \n\nYou're not polite... you called your own people Nazi's.\n\nLiterally had no idea what he is doing.
