I wish we had leaders who led like this. Would a kind Canadian come kidnap me please? You don't have to keep me, but please get me out of here. ?\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm ashamed of my president AND my country. I'm thankful, tho, for those who are willing to stand up to the wannabe king. Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine - we're sorry and we're rooting for you!

Oh please you don't care about your country Steph down and let a real leader deal with this

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

As an American, I am sorry. I fully support any action you must take against our current government. Please remember it is less than 30% of our country that is MAGA. Most of us support you. Thank you for such an eloquent and measured address.

Please understand.. thats a Nice Speach, at least it would be if he actually meant any of it, understand hes a Compulsive Liar and rarely if ever, does anything he states, usually its the exact opposite in fact... a whole lot of blee bla bla blee blee... a** h*** .... in my opinion

Canada, please intensify the relationship with the EU and UK! We need to unite against our former ally the US. We love Canada over here. Justin, I promise to buy maple sirup once week. Thank you.

Here in the US. Please remember not everyone voted for the Trump clown show. He's delusional and in denial with himself. Fuck Trump, Fuck Elon!

No one talks about the Panama Canal ! Where Mr Solas is doing what ever he wants!! Hutchinson wampoa sold directly the concession to blackrock?! That’s illegal !!! The concession have to be put back to open competition for all international biters !! Is an open robbery !! God please act upon this modafhocas!!

I didnt vote for this man. Please know this is not what many in our country wanted

I hate orange dictators. For the love of God, please impeach him.

Dont blame us for what this tyrant does please , I like canadians =(

Well, we in South East Asia prefer that you, friends, fighting each other. Keep up the fighting please. If you, friends, are fighting, you leave us alone. You won't incite us to fight among our own friends. With you fighting among, friends, we can actually have our peace. It is for the good of the world. Keep yourselves in your part of the world.

YOU KNOW DO IT, PLEASE THESE CRUMP GUTTER SUPPORTERS NEED TO SEE WHAT THEY VOTED FOR

The United States DID NOT launch a trade war, Donald J. Trump did... Please don't get it confused.

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

I’m in the US but I’m cheering on Canada and the rest of the world. I’m sorry we’re the enemy right now. I know my prices will go up, but please please don’t back down!!

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Arizona here. usually a proud American when Trump is not in office. but I stand with Canada and Ukraine. please let Trump choke on a Big Mac and end this nonsense.

I couldn't agree more. I hope everyone follows suit. Please do what you need to do (all trading countries). Cause it doesn't make sense anymore. Just remember, we are not properly represented as citizens because we don't have the same values as Trump and his governance.

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

We can't take him please ...

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.

Please understand that this is NOT the will of the PEOPLE of the USA. Our dictator has taken it upon himself to make these decisions!

Please don’t call it the US tariffs, please call it Trump‘s tariffs.

As a Canadian living in Alberta, this embarrassment does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Rob Ford is an idiot, and David Eby is stupid as well. Please stop listening to them

PM Trudeau you are a leader, Canadian's please stand strong with your PM and don't let Putin/Trump tear your country apart. Our president is compromised, in any other time a president would have been brought up on treason/ traitor. It is beyond me why the Republicans are not standing up to him. My grandfather fought in WWll against Hilter in Africa, where are our heros now?

Please when you do what you have to do, please remember all of us here didn’t go along with this operation

He's a convicted felon hello please excuse my French but are you stupid death or blind or D all of the above When Donald pulls his final stunt don't be stupid death or blind put him at not with everybody else amen blessings to all

Thank you to all the support from the people outside of Canada. Please help us through this by supporting our online businesses.

Please don't confuse Trump with the majority of US citizens who do not agree with any of his actions. We don't want this either.?

Please remember this Canada. It’s our politicians who have mismanaged our country for decades and brought us to the state we are in now. Ignoring climate change and creating National Debt that can never be paid. Most of us here in the USA love our friends to the north of us.

Mr. Canadian president, please don't think ALL Americans have the same mentality as Donald Trump. Will you please adopt us? We do not like our president.

Dear Canadians can we please borrow your Prime Minister Downunder, he’s a gem ?

Mr. Trudeau, can you please un-resign? Please???

Dear Sane people of the US, please keep fighting against this lunacy! Greetings from Germany

NO WEE DON’T NEED ANOTHER CALIFORNIA…..!..PLEASE !

I don't blame you guys, just know and understand that not all Americans voted for this. Please pray for us.?

CNN, please stop. This is not a Canadian PM, more like a US state governor.

USA Please impitch this horror on legs

I'm an American, and I'm embarrassed by our a-hole president. Please feel free to dump on him as much and often as you wish has so many of us are behind.

Please remember Trump did NOT win the popular vote. The majority of us do not stand with Trump. God help us all. We stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. We do not stand with Russia, China, or N Korea.

What an intelligent president ??\nBut guess what?? American people will just roll over and accept whatever Vladimir Trump do to them \nWe sitting on our couch laughing ? \nThey voted for him it’s not even been 3 months \nI am hoping and praying it hits American people exactly where it’s gona hurt \n“ their pockets” \nMake \nAmerica \nStupid \nAgain \nCanada please trade more with European Union and Britain \n??????

The only people that might get hurt out of this is the canadian people yall dont want any kind of war with us trade war physical war etc. Fafo cross your siuthern border with 1 soldier please

When did he wake up and decide to do is job ? More of this please ?

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

Donald Trump is not listening. In fact Donald Trump is himself quite greedy and his government is an Authoritarian regime or an oligarchy. please understand he , Donald Trump is now evil in his decisions world wide.

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

Please Sir, know this is Trump. Half of Americans did not want this monster that is Putin's puppet. I understand your stance. He's a crazy man that doesn't care about the majority of Americans. If I could leave, I would. May God help us all.

Bro don’t speak to me. You’re a corrupt leader who is stepping down. We don’t need your lies Mr. Canada. And all of you who love Canada and Europe so much… PLEASE GO. For the love of god please leave!
