Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

We Americans understand this dilemma and support your right to fight back. We don't want this, but Trump and his sycophants do not care about us. I'm sorry this is unfolding.?

I stand with the Canadian people. I’m so sorry & many of us did not vote for Trump?Trump & his minions are deranged & VERY DISHONEST?\nPraying for peace & unity ????

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

I'm sorry Canadians -- we owe you better than this.

From Spain, all my respect to Canada. I'm sorry for the americans who didnt vote for that mad evil traitor.

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

I'm sorry but white folks, y'all need to step up.

I'm so sorry that our dictator is doing this. Please know that most Americans do not support this or him.

I’m sorry Trudeau you let Indians and everyone else poor through our border. Let me tell you a true story of my experience in the last couple days. I had to deal with an Indian charge nurse who was an asshole. I had to deal with Indian neighbors who are assholes. I have to deal with an Indian Doctor Who is a psycho jerk.

I'm sorry, Canada. I don't have much, but tell me where I can help. We are the closest allies, and should be best of friends. Canda is beautiful, and the people are awesome, friendly and polite. I mean, Molson is not so good, but y'all are awesome. GOD BLESS CANADA. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES.

It don’t make sense and I’m sorry to the rest of the world cause this man is destroying our continent never in my life I would of thought a Russian news reporter was in the freaking White House, Ronald is rolling in his grave ?

Sorry to our closest ally. Trump, the dumbest president in American history, doesn't represent majority of americans. He is a bully and a coward. I'm sure a lot of his supporters have regretted they voted for him. They are feeling the pain and perhaps lost their jobs, too. This moron is 100 percent lunatic.

Can't make something make sense who makes NO SENSE!! I hate this for all of us. Our government is not OUR government, but we are fighting back. We know where the BS is coming from. Enough of us are not confused. I'm so sorry about this madness. God help us!!

As a Dutch European who was going on holiday to the States which i cancelled and re-booked to Canada ( and so did my travel companions ) i do stand with Canada and would rather spend my money there now ( the least i can do for what they did for us, no matter how little, every little bit helps ) Sorry to the good Americans, but i will not spend one cent in America or on\n American goods for as long as that Dictator is in power. I'm pretty sure Europe welcomes you with open arms! ❤️??????

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

I’m so disappointed. It wasn’t the United States it was tRump. I’m so sorry Canada .

American here. I'm sorry!

i'm sincerely sorry that trump is destroying the america at every ally he can.

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!

Justin, I'm sorry! Canada I'm sorry! Please put the screws to America. We are willing to suffer because this is wrong! Fentynal invasion is a lie. Why cut all public funding to help addiction if we truly have a problem? ???

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.

HI FROM CANADA. WE ARE NOW AT WAR WITH THE USA... SORRY ABOUT THAT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. GO AWAY, STAY AWAY UNTIL YOU JAIL THE NAZI RUNNING YOUR GOVERNMENT... BUT IT'S TOO LATE. YOU WERE TOO LAZY TO ACT. YOU ARE NOW A NAZI STATE AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE ELECTIONS. AND YOU THINK I'M KIDDING. NOPE... AMERICANS GET OUT OF CANADA, STAY OUT. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. LGBTQ REFUGEES FROM THE NAZI REGIME WILL BE TAKEN IN.

As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

I’m sorry President Trudeau!

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

I don't make the policies here. None of us do. I'm sorry.

We have half of the American people to thank for this, as they voted for this bafoon back into the White House!!! I’m sorry Canada that you’re having to deal with this…a lot of us Americans don’t deserve this either, but apparently this is what the majority of Americans want. I’ve never been so ashamed of my own country before. Today, this year, this era is a sad time for American’s history.

I'm sorry our country was taken by a coup.

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.

Wake up America. Are you still playing attention!? I'm sorry this isn't a 15 second polarizing sound byte. WE ARE LOSING OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS JUST SO WE CAN SNUGGLE UP TO RUSSIA. COME ON.

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.

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

I'm sorry to go off topic but I would like to point out how absolutely stunning I think Minister Joly is. pure natural beauty

Dear Canada, I wish we had an empowered voice in America. I’m sorry for what has happened to the trust and friendship between our nations.

I’m an American woman standing with Canadian people. I am so sorry this is happening ? why would Americans vote for him?

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

I'm sorry Canada ??. US has lost their minds. Do what you gotta do. This is what Trumps people wanted

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

To all our dear friends in Canada, Mexico and America, I'm so sorry you have to go through this because of that orange lunatic in the White House. Please keep fighting. Europe stands with you! From a worried Belgian friend... ❤

I’m sorry our president trump don’t appreciate friends and allies he really love putin because their the same creminal it’s a shameful crazy president trump!!!

I’m sorry Canada. We have 77million people who voted for this moron. I just hope they see what they did and never vote for another Republican. We need strong honest people running our country. Not a bunch of faithful followers with no back bone. Can’t wait , we vote every two years . That’s when we will dismantle this cult. Hey democrats get out from under your rocks.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

I am a Canadian.\nI'd like too personally say, I'm sorry from our Country to your Country. ?\nLet's all try and stay strong.

Guys does anyone know who the people behind Trudeau are? I'm sorry I'm new to politics and have no idea. Thanks guys!

I'm sorry Canada, Trump has lost his mind

Canada prime minister? I’m sorry I’m slow, is Canada a kingdom?

I, an American citizen, stand with Canada. I'm sorry so many Americans think Trump was going to be such a great thing. He's not. He is VERY stupid and only cares how he looks on TV. IMPEACH Trump

I'm sorry to say it, but the US is now regarded by us in Europe as a selfish dictatorship that only wants to create value for itself and other dictatorships. In the end, however, you will bitterly realize that you (the Trump administration) were wrong.
