CNN whether you agree with Trump or not. You are still an American company. Stop biting the hand that feeds you!

It's not Anti-Americanism, it's Anti-Trump as we all should be.

As an American, I stand by Canada, Ukraine and NATO. Trumps administration is dangerous and an embarrassment

What American media will allow a foreign president to address the American people. This is crazy stuff. Would they allow Valdemar Putin, Kim Jong Un, or The Chinese Communist Party to Address the American people? The wouldn't even allow the British Prime Minister to talk directly to the American people. This shows that CNN is willing to do anything to discredit Trump's policies.

Europe stands with Canada!!!! Here too we will be boycotting American products!!! We don't stand with fascists or bullies!!!! Trump sold out America completely to his big idol Putin. We warned you for this insanity and still America chose corruption and put a convicted felon and rapist, racist fraudster and liar in Chief in power in spite of all the red flags and warnings and laws you had to bend. Pure Evil!!!

I am American, and I can say God bless Canada. We need help from other countries fighting Trump and this administration because our corrupt court system and Republicans are out of control.

Having scanned the social media posts on Fox and others, it would appear that the Americans on here are in the minority.\n\nMaga TOTALLY agrees with Trumps actions.. they love him and in their eyes he is making America great again.

Lets be clear, we are were we are today because of our governments and the absence of polices. Trump simply wants the drug crime and human trafficking to stop. Our government response is to apply tariff's on Americans goods and services. There ego's are more important then Canadians lives. The libs, ndp and dem's are all part of the problem. WAKE UP

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

It's difficult, I mean Canadians' disgust, insult and anger at all of these completely unwarranted tariffs is not directed at the American people, it's at the crass, unhinged baffoon Trump who has enacted them, and yet (and this is where it gets difficult) over half of you voted for this obscene idiot as your president! How it is that there would ever been more than a dozen people who would vote for Trump is beyond me; he is NOT an honorable person and has not one redeeming quality. He is a vile, snorting pig, and no, I'm not insulting him, I'm describing him. He has to go.

As an American I say bring it on and help us stop trump’s misguided dictatorship.

American here-\nTHANK YOU for thumbing your nose and telling Trump to stick it!!! I will travel to your country and spend my money happily in your cities. I can’t understand how he was elected

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

As an American Im in america and support Canada…’.so let that sink in Trump…many millions just like me

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

I see that we’re all still being naive. Telling Trump that this will hurt Americans is not a deterrent, that is the point. Read Project 2025, again Read Project 2025. That’s all it takes. Understand what its authors’ philosophies are. Think of it this way. We know that Trump is aligned with Putin, so what might Putin like to see for the American people? Success or Failure? That is your answer.

A lot of Americans are against these idiotic tariffs. Why are we going after Canada, literally our best allies along with Mexico and UK. WTF!! Trump is a freakin idiot POS. Trump is the epitome of human garbage.

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

I so wish that the great leaders of other countries would just say Donald Trump in stead of saying the United States of America. Because we, the average American citizen find Trump’s illogical decisions ruinous for all of us

Our PM is right; the end goal is to cripple Canada economically so Trump can take our resources and territory. I am saying Trump intentionally. I know the vast majority of Americans don't want this trade war but if you think Canadians are just gonna lay down and take the abuse, you're high as a fucking kite on your own fumes. We won't got down without a fight and Canadians know how to fight dirty.

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

Trump’s policies are hurting the American economy. Sorry for the poor leadership.

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

Responsible peaceful Americans don't want this either, Trump is an enemy to all of us

Trump and his dogs Vance and Musk are sick … they are dangerous and too many americans have no brains at all who voted for them! I am all sorry for you Canada

I'm glad there is still a trustworthy and intelligent voice of reason on the North American continent to counter the %#$@ that comes out of Donald Trump.

Please Canada don't hate Americans hate Trump. Smart Americans hate him too it was dumb American voters that did this the smart ones voted for Harris.

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

Believe me, the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration and Trump’s garbage. He is absolutely the worst and dumbest person ever sit in the Oval Office. So we have to suffer this man’s postering and aligning with Putin because some idiotic people believe him. So please punish us, we deserve it.

AMERICANS ARE COWARDS, THEY DONT HAVE BALLS TO RESIST TRUMP REGIME. NOW, THE WORLD SEE HOW AMERICANS AEE A BACKFIGHTERS AND A PUPPET OF RUSSIAN DICTATOR PUTIN.

I AM CANADIAN WE LOVE AND GET ALONG WITH ARE AMERICAN FRIENDS BUT YOUR LEADER MUSK SORRY I MEAN TRUMP ARE THE BAD GUYS TRUMP WILL LIE TO JUST TO SAVE HIS SOUL FOR 8 YEARS TRUMP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT LIE TO YOU AND THE WORLD FOR SOME REASON MANY AMERICANS LISTEN AND BELIEVE TRUMP MOSTLY MAGA VOTERS EVERY BODY WILL PAY THE PRICE BUT NOT TRUMP MUSK AND ALL THERE RICH FRIENDS THEY ONLY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY THING TRUMP IS ONLY ABOUT MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND THE GOP, TO THE GOP IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP QUIT

It’s so funny the excuse that Trump uses to justify his actions against allies such as Canada when in reality there is far more drugs going from USA to Canada than there is the other way around. This has never been about drugs or anything other than a personal financial gain for Trump and his own buddies like Putin. It’s a shame innocent people are caught in the middle but America did vote for him so hopefully eyes will start to open to the truth when it finally starts affecting American pockets directly as unfortunately that’s the only way you can get through to most of those kinds of people.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

Well spoken, Prime Minister Trudeau!!! As a Canadian, I just cannot help myself for loathing anything American, just because of this one man, Donald Trump and his cronies.

I’m an American that voted for trump. I’m sorry everyone.

I am ashamed to be a American. I am so sorry for what Trump is doing.

Let all nice Americans come to Canada ??. You need to leave Trump as he is a wannabe dictator.

Please do not blame Americans. Blame DJ Trump and we hate his actions

And why is this happening now, simple. This is what Putin ordered trump to do, and all while they flee Americans. Trump, Elon and all those greedy folks who you see every day in the news. Our congress is so afraid to lose their positions. This will get very bad before it gets good. So hang on folks something big is coming.

Next time you hear the Amercan anthem don't boo. Boo means you hate America, Next time you hear the American anthem shout IMPEACH TRUMP, that's a message .

Would Canada take in skilled working class Americans on political asylum? I don't want to wait until Trump is s full blown dictator.

I agree with President Trudeau 100% I call that TIT for TAT! we Americans are going to suffer because of Trump's nonsensical policies.

talking to the american people nor trump is futile. stop being dramatic and copying netanyahu's speach directed to palestinian people. just slam your own tsriffs against the US and let their people feel it! you are such a wimp in dealing with your bully that's why you dontget the respect globally! just do it! and do it fast! jeeez

Americans will suffer because of Trump's ego and stupidity

This is Trump telling Americans to buy American while businesses bring production back within our borders, which is the inevidable result of tariffs.

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

Trump is a lunatic he’s gonna pay for the well being of Americans

As an American who detests Trump and his trolling and tariffs and deranged behavior, do whatever you need to do. Cut off electricty and critical supplies.

Canada is always causing problems for us Americans Canada is a serious national security threat to this country instead of 25 percent tariffs Trump should place 900 percent tariffs against Canada instead.
