Oooooooh, smart yet dumb, I think I want to black out my windows and shut out the world ? The world has to stand up to Trump, at the moment he feels untouchable!

Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

This is very simple.Trump puts Canada and Mexico into a ressioun.The US will fallow shortly after.You want this?

Dump wants the US to fail bcuz it will mean more for him and his cronies. He only cares about himself. It’s baffling what his cult followers will believe. Anything, absolutely anything, whatever he says they will do and believe. Kinda like another dictator in 1930s Germany

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

Quit crying. No one wants to hear your feelings. You ruined your country and need to own \nUp to it and Canadians hate you

THE AMERICAN STILL DONT WANT ACCEPT THAT, PUTIN THE RUSSIA DICTATOR IS THEIR NEW LEADER, PERIOD

What does it take to defect to Canada? I'm a (god help me) US citizen and want a incredible Prime Minister like you! You are awesome and you are doing whats right for Canada. I'm so sad at what our Government is doing. It's a disgrace.

The thing is Trump will start directing sales to Russia. It’s the only logical outcome unless Trump wants to walk back his tariffs. Gonna call it now, he’s gonna lift the trade ban with Russia and direct American goods there.

The United States does not want a trade war ! We do not want a dictator ! This is trumps decision alone

Fifty percent of Americans don’t want tRump. We hate what’s happening. We hate him and his fascist ideals. I wish the world would know it. It’s not all Americans. It’s the uneducated, racist, and/or sexist half.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS JUST ONE THING . DOES AMERICA SUBSIDIARY ACTUALLY COMES INTO CANADA LIKE AMERICA STILL EMPHASIZE?\nAM BELIEVING THERE'S SOMETHING MORE INTO ALL THESE STORIES THAN TRUMP WANTING TO TAKE OVER CANADA. \nUNTIL THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS TOLD. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DECEIVED OURSELVES

We don't want this either. We love Canada ??

Just so we're clear, We the People do not want this trade war.

I still want to believe the US didn’t saddle us with stupid tariffs, it was the golden turd. Americans, you know he is hurting all of us. And for what?

I can see them now, in their skirts, I want to be on the front lines ?

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

We the American people don’t want Trump

To all you Americans siding with Trudeau move to Canada we don't want you here..

The fentanyl excuse is just that an excuse, trump wants to make money from tariffs to give a huge tax break to the billionaires in the USA including musk, he is not worried at all about fentanyl, he doesn't care about other people, but he does care about tax breaks for himself and the billionaires who support him. I support Canada and Mexico in this trump fiasco, and I hope Canada and Mexico really make trump squirm. trump knows tariffs will hurt the US citizens but he knows it will hit the Lower and middle classes the hardest, not causing him and the billionaires nearly as much trouble. He is hoping that the tariffs will bring in enough money for him to be able to give the billionaires including himself a huge tax break.

I’m a proud American ! Trudeau is an idiot for not meeting our demands. It could’ve been resolved simply. We don’t want tariffs, we are using them to force your hand and meet our demands, and instead, you’re letting the people of your country suffer

What I love about the Canadians is that I want them with me, not pissed at me.

we the American people don't want this either. it's only the Trump administration that is asking for this . thank you for your understanding Canada we the people stand with you as well.

This is why Trump wanted Ukraine mineral deal

Donald clearly wants to become a neutral country aligned only with Israel and maybe Taiwan to cut on defense, NATO and start trading with countries like Russia to make money on it. Al at the cost on selling the democracy of the states

We don’t want this. We understand. Trump is a monster. ????????????

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

As an American for over 8 decades I want Trudeau as president of the USA. Or may I request Canada make USA a province?

Literally crying when he said us fighting is what the people around the world want to see ????

I can't believe that orange peel think that we as Canadians want to send our jobs to them . That guy is coo coo for coco pops.

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Want Canada to cut your power off ??? We will if trump gets nastier

No it is NOT hard to believe this is going on. When you elect a criminal who floats the rule of law and the Constitution, this is exactly what you should expect. I don't believe for one instant that the politicians in the Republican party and a good number in the Democrat party did not see this coming, althpugh the Republicans who anticipated it wanted it and the Democrats didn't.

we want this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer

After screwing the United States, they cry because they don't want to apply the same one that they apply to us America first

Looks like Trump wants some justification for setting an active trade between US and Russia.

50% of Americans didn't want this either but thank you for wearing a suit so Trump can take your concerns and suggestions seriously. 50% of Americans are now fashion designers and follow blindly until our current administration policies effect them negatively.

I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that Canada already had tariffs against the United States and now that the United States is finally retaliating to make the playing field even everybody wants to whine and complain

Please know that most Americans don't want this made up fight with our wonderful up north friends and neighbors.

This makes me want to go spend my American dollars in Canada.

FREEMASONS DON'T WANT WANT CANADIAN AND AMERICAN TO KNOW WHAT IS COMING THAT IS THE COLLAPSE OF WESTERN SOCIETY.\n\nTHESE FMASONS ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? FROM DTJ TO JT

We don’t want this either!!! I’m devastated as an American. Inflation will go up at least one percent aside from goods and services and the auto industry might be irreparably damaged by this along with our relationships to our allies ?

U don’t want smoke with America ?? come on now bud

I no longer want to say or feel “ American “ I am 68 and so ashamed ?

Trump's not bowing down to Russia!!! WHAT Don't you idiots understand??? Trump's trying to save LIVES Zelinski wants WAR AND every country OVER THERE have been taking More and More OF Russian Land! GET A Education and learn what's been going on for years!!

I am American and we don't want this either.

I think that Trump is far more dangerous than most people understand. He just bought the Panama Canal. He wants the soon to be viable NW passage. Add Greenland to the list… this has nothing to do with boarder issues. This is about him taking the trillion a year that these trade routs will give him and then giving Europe to Putin.

I think it is important to note how much governments complain when they get taxed but how much they also complain they aren't taxing their people even more. Imagine if the people got this upset Everytime they were taxed. And if he wants to fight russia in wwiii he is welcome to go to russia and get it started rather than negotiate peace. America loves life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That's why we elected trump and LOVE everything he is doing. We wish more loved that too like us.

Please, Mr. Trudeau, please say that Donald Trump is the culprit, not America in its entirety. We are protesting the takeover of our country and will not cease trying to get rid of this administration that has hijacked our country. We too want to work with you and will support your actions as best we can. Your strong speech shows which country has a leader to follow. Thank you.
