What Trump is planning is to lay down the ground work for grounds to leave NATO. After that putin will go to war with Europe which in turn anables Trump to go for Greenland and afterwards Canada\n\nIf not americans wakes up that could become a reality

Will American Congressmen and citizens stand by for long, and watch Trump destroy everything ?

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!

I can't stand Trump. He is hurting us all. As an American, I'm embarrassed. I'm so sorry to Canada and Mexico. This is not my doing. But I stand behind YOU and Not the orange man-baby!

Putin loves this fight! My fellow Americans That is the point! Trump and Putin are United against their common enemy: The United States of America and the EU… Why does CNN avoid telling the Truth?

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

These are Trump, Musk and Republican tariffs. Many Americans stand against this administration and appreciate any help you can give us to stop his madness!

As an American, I'm not sure why Trump is doing this. I can see with Mexico there is a big problem but with Canada I just don't see it. I think Trump may have bit off a little bit more than he can chew.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

I am a American but I do not support Trump in anyway.. He is a idiot and should be thrown out off office immediately... I am sorry to Ukraine and all countries being affected by this pathetic idiot. My heart goes out to you all and I encourage you to hit back hard.

Imagine how bad things must be that Trump made me side with Trudeau. I really hope you americans understand the damage your „president“ is causing and will cause to the world. That goes for your lapdog vicepresident too.

As an American, I'm digusted by what Trump is doing. He's under the control of Putin.

I'm a French Canadian american from the state of Maine. Was born here. I love your response to trump. I think trump is an immature ego maniac. I wish we could kick him out of office!

Those 25 % tariffs is gonna payed by the American people ,..dumbass Trump !!

So it will only hurt Americans family but not Canadian?? We can make those factory to produce from USA side. Sorry, I didn’t vote for trump.

As a disenfranchised American citizen, I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and any other nation willing to stand up to this bullying coward. I absolutely DO NOT blame Canada, Mexico or anyone else trying to protect their populations. Imagine having a government that would do that. trump must go. he is a threat to the entire world.

It was a mistake to try to placate Trump. He's a demented egomaniac and he's too dumb to negotiate with. Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with this Nazi scumbag either. Canada has no choice but to make the American people suffer in the hope they will apply pressure on this senile, diaper-soiling idiot.

I just became a naturalized American citizen three weeks ago and frankly I wish I didn't. I'm embarrassed by the behavior of the Trump administration and not proud of being part of this America at all.

And for all of you Americans that voted for Donald Trump simply because things were too expensive? You haven't seen anything yet!!

American here. Trump is confusing and needs clarity. I am happy with this Canadian response.

As an American I stand with Trump and America all others may leave because Republicans going to be in office for a long time and you can thank yourselves for that

Two thumbs up for Justin Trudeau,my brother you need to on American news outlets every day calling trumps ignorance and lies out! And so does all of all other (once) American allies

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

Trump isn't smart ? \nHe's a fool!!! Real Americans stand behind Canada and Mexico ?

Trump is trying to bring back jobs particularly manufacturing jobs to the entire North America continent. This is what this is all about folks. Trump is trying to improve the job quality to all North Americans. Trudeau is a small thinker with a nice head of hair but real life issues aren’t a fashion show. Let’s learn the dynamics of the real issues together folks ????

As an American, I am disappointed in our country for yet again voting for Trump. I mourn that our country defunded education which lead to this mess.

I like what Trump is doing, this is the wests chance to put separation between us and America, American corporations cannot treat people in Europe like they do in the US, Americans food is filled with rubbish banned in most of the west, respect to Americans but your corporations are terrible to people.

Trump is now making Americans his enemies

As an American I apologize to Canada and all of our friends. I did not vote for Trump. Many of us do not want him either. Donald Trump is a liar and mentally insane. We the people of the usa should sue our government for mental and emotional abuse. I side with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

Trump is insane and he started this - hope Americans realize this and do something about this madman.

Trump is literally a moron. People of Canada, please know that the American people do NOT support Trump or his Tariffs.

Trump is a total IDIOT!!! As an American I am with you Canada.

Trump is shameful his dosen't even care about the American people here. It seems like his doing this for Putin l don't know if it true. His acts like Immature bully, but that doesn't make him a strong leader weak instead.

Trump wants a great American reich….Canada, Greenland and Panama. He wants to be an American Putin

That lady simply lied and tried to twist reality. Trudeau didnt say anything Anti-American. She means anti-white supremacist....trudeau is saying America is not going to use them but mistreating at the same time. Canada is right. Protect yourselves. People in America will see that supporting Trump is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. its just a matter of time.

I wouldnt say all Americans....its the trump admin doing this and his minion followers??.

It all makes sense if one realizes that trump is a russian asset by the name Krasnov. \nPrime Minister Trudeau, I hold no ill will against you, your beautiful country or country men/women. We, the reasonable Americans, understand that you must do what you have to.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

As expected Trump is pressing the self destruction button. Americans wake up , before it's too late.

We the American People STAND PROUDLY WITH \nCANADA ! F Trump ! \n????☮️

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

Let's be clear: Fentanyl is an excuse for Trump to do Putin's bidding.\nTrump is the enemy, not the vast majority of Americans. We will fight this fool with every fibre of our being.\nMAGA - Can you NAZI what you have done ?!

It's going to be tougher on Americans. Trump and Elon have destroyed all the government agencies that could help citizens in need. American citizens are on their own.

As a Canadian, I am thankful for the supportive comments by many Americans in this forum. Yet, from polls observed this AM, 45% of Americans still support Trump in his mandates... WHY??

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

As an American who actually cares about my country and understands what’s been going on and not letting the media lead me around by my emotions, I stand with Trump.

Trump, we Canadians despise what you are doing to us and Mexico, and to your very own people. And for what purpose? You will not aquire control of the entire American continent. Not if we can help it!!

I love how honest he is about it being tough, while Trump lies about how costs will go down even though they won’t. It’s unfortunate so many of my fellow Americans are uneducated in politics and don’t keep up with what’s actually going on
