Again, I will say we Americans love our Canadian friends! You have every right to come down hard on America. Make it hurt! Maybe Republicans will finally wake up to how cruel and hateful Trump is and see that he is totally out to destroy America not only at home but abroad.

What the f**k, comment by the female broadcaster saying she has never seen this level of anti-Americanism. This is not anti-Americanism. This is Canada sticking up for itself in light of irrational bullying decisions made by Trump and his oligarchs.

So sad what's happening in this country right now. I'm an American and did not vote for trump and I'm with Ukraine and Canada.

Trump is screwing Americans 3-4x over.

i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

American for canada here and against trump.

As an American, I would rather see the US become a 4th territory of Canada, instead of watching our country be destroyed daily by the amateur fascist that a feeble and feckless Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed to escape justice, and to become the 47th president with the help of a psychotic South African billionaire, and 49% percent of our population who is too fucking stupid to NOT worship at the dangly scrotum of trump and putin.

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

this is what happens with Trump, we will see how long the Americans will be happy with their choice. USA is out and can not be trusted. Maybe USA will come out from this well and I know many of them don't care about other people, but other countries and people will suffer as long as Trump is in the seat. Very bad and dangerous to allow one person with this much power.

COMRADE TRUMP IS A DISGRACE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Not Americans just f****** Trump

Trump is an American Traitor. Just another Benedict Arnold.

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

It’s honestly such a disgusting feeling to be an American right now. I love my country and many of its people but the trump administration is tarnishing this country and making it an embarrassment across the globe. I feel powerless and angry. I hope for the best and I fully support this response Canada.

This Is the 1st step for an invasioni of Canada in fiew time.liar Trump and his friend now can bombarding american information about the evil Canadians.hope i'm wrong. this Is a nazi procedure

Isn’t it tragic that Trump is wreaking havoc with the fentanyl excuse by causing economic harm to Canada and Mexico while having an addict billionaire doing weird drugged out gestures while destroying the government and Americans’ lives on land, air and sea! Nero trump and Caligula Musk…just so dystopian!

Canada: There are plenty of Americans 100% with you and the rest of our allies. These are not my presidents (we apparently have two) and my sincere hope is that they will not only be removed from office very soon, but thereafter tried, prosecuted, and imprisoned for high treason against the United States and for defrauding its people. Those of us not fully brainwashed by the right-wing propaganda apparatus are seething with rage and focused on fast and appropriate justice, however it must be achieved. This criminal behavior masquerading as politics will be punished to the maximum extent of the very laws that are being scoffed at by Trump, Vance, Musk, and the rest of the mafioso GOP. History will correct those that choose to remain in tow to lawlessness and treason, and oligarchic fascism will not hold sway in our nation. Let this moment be a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy is and how vigilant we all must be to preserve it.

We are with you sir! 99% of Americans support Canada!!! Trump is a racist ignorant POS!!!!! The only way to stop rhis is to remove trump and vance using whatever methods are needed!!!

As an CNN watching American Trump stands for America!! Lol

The Brainwashed Americans should be ashamed of themselves to believe that Trump is the Answer, the guy is going to tear the world apart and that goes one way.. wake up the mans filling his own pockets as much as he can for 4 years

Trump will not last for four years because of what he is doing…..we as Americans vote for impeachment of him.

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

Im american from orlando fl ,Congratulations mr trump, you're gonna make america poor gain.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone and anything, not even us Americans. \nHe only care about his pockets and Putin, another idiot

The US administration is a joke. I do not support it . Help your American people Trump …..

Those tariffs against Canada, Mexico along with the rest of the world has all the hallmarks on what Trump really wants to happen in his project 2025 game plan. American population start to feel the consequences and rise up with protests on the streets, this will then give Trump a false flag to put the military on the streets so he can then crown himself dictator of Russia Mk 2. ?

Canadians will stand with our brother Americans when the time comes to kick out Trump from power.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

As a sane American, I sincerely apologize to you, Canada!! trump is an absolute disgrace!!

This was all started by Trump who is cozying up with Putin. Watch out Americans. You’ll be paying the price for the MAGA vote. ??????

Many Americans don’t support Trump’s actions, we stand with Canada ????

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

What is going to happen with NORAD? I am Canadian and I would have never expected such nonsense coming from an American president! I truly believe that Trump wants a third world war because he thinks it would help his country’s economy. He is definitely the worst president of the USA ever!

Canadá still ❤️ American people!! and we are very sorry that you guys have a president who is bullying.. all the citizens around your country ? as Elon son told Trump he needs to go away and also Elon they are destroying USA specially median class… In my point of view the citizen puts the president and also they can take away since he is abusing of power !!

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.

Trumps spiral into Putins pockets should be of grave concern for the American people and the world …. Power corrupts especially when an insane man is wielding it

Trudeau should have told you REPUBLICAN idiots exactly what Dipstick Trump is doing! TRUMP is doing the TARIFF thing to make up for all the TAXCUTS he is giving the RICH (taxcuts which NO average US taxpayer will receive) and now YOU are going to pay more for everything! Just remember, Canadians will still get the same amount of money from the sale, BUT the price to all of YOU will be 25% higher. You MAGA AMERICANS need to have your 2 BRAINCELLS talk to each other instead of complaining about anyone of color, sexual preferences or ideas that are different to yours

I’m American and do not support Trump’s Russian administration. He’s purposefully sinking our country. The Republicans aren’t doing anything to stop him. We are losing our democracy because Trump is compromised and working for Putin along with Elon.

Canada ?? is a friend to American people ! Donald Trump is being a fool, Elon musk seems to be secret president ? I am embarrassed by our current leaders !

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

The majority of American people (all of the decent americans) dont want this either!! We dont want Trump!! I am so ashamed to be American right now!

Trudeau is an idiot...unlike Trudeau, President Trump WAS honestly elected by the American people.

The real question is, will the American that will be affected by these changes stand up. Trump and the people in is circle won’t feel the effects of these tariffs. But the average American will. He ran on lowering prices, just to turn around and sing a different tune.. mind you it’s only the second month of his term. What will America look like in 4 years? Will there be an America in 4 years? The average American can’t afford a $400 rainy day. Many rainy days are coming our way..

The tariffs isn’t even for the American people!! Trump needs to be pulled from office for his illness.

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

CNN anything anti trump cheer. lol How about join team america? And all you americans standing with cannada, its because you are not american. Hence you all damn america, its people and americana.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

An ex-KGB chief: “In 1987 I worked in… the KGB of the USSR in Moscow… our department recruited the 40 year-old businessman from the USA, Donald Trump, nicknamed “Krasnov”. That’s when Trump starts buying full-page ads attacking NATO. “Putin is doing a great job of outsmarting our country.” He says. Steele report: Russian operatives gathered damaging video evidence of perverted sex acts of presidential candidate in 2013, for blackmail. Mueller said “There were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election.” Trump campaign had more than 140 contacts with Russian operatives, and Trump attempted to obstruct justice at least ten times. Campaign chair lied about then finally admitted to sharing info with Russian spy. Trump, ignoring US intelligence said: “…Putin, he just said it wasn’t Russia. I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Secret meeting in Trump Tower with Russkies. Jared attempts to set up secret back channel to Russia in the Russian embassy. Trump to NATO member on prospect of Russian attack on their country “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.” Trump: “If Putin likes Donald Trump… That’s called an asset…” Yeah, a Russian asset. FBI chief Kash Patel was paid $25,000 to appear in anti-FBI video by Russian backers. “The love in the air, I’ve never seen anything like it” Trump said of January 6 rioters, some of them cop-killers… “Russia if you’re listening…” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily…” Yes, they own a seditious, treasonous felonious American president. All allegedly…

Obviousely, Trudeau talk to the American people first to explain the situation.\nHe knows that it's absolutely useless to convince Trump during 15 minutes : he knows Trump is totally insane and dumb and can't understand one real argument!
