Thanks to everyone who voted for Mr Trump I hope you're happy!

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

Putin has never been happier in his entire life. He OWNS trump. The USA is pathetic for putting comrade trump back in power. Reap what you sow MAGATs, I hope you all lose your jobs and your companies go under. All SANE Americans stand with Canada!!!!!

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

Putin Russia warned as far back as 2009 or earlier Ukraine not join NATO to aim missiles on the Russia border, did it not? Zelenskyy is a puppet comedian fake leader selected by European globalists to do their bidding. Before the war the ppl of Ukraine are weary and tired of Ukraine government neo nazi ideology, terrible policies, their wealthy oligarchs and blatant corruption. US finally did admit Ukraine had toxic biolabs before mainstream and their political analysts denounce it vigoriously. Too late now, Ukraine will continue to lose the war with Zelenskyy as president. President Trump is in the WH. So what integrity some ppl claim our country had and lost... like in the last four years with a weak corrupt party president? Trudeau is goin out hopefully not soon enough. Lol.

As an American, I do not at all blame Canada’s response to trump’s irresponsible and embarrassing behavior. I know this will affect me, but I side with Canada completely. I just hope these next 4 years pass quickly and we can get a more reasonable administration into power.

canada is not a friend to the US, canada is a leach who takes as much as they can expecting the US to spend on their military so canada will be protected while spending money on their socialist programs. Living in the 51st state I hope this idiot ford and trudeau cause Trump to take over this state sooner than later....

Trump wants Trudeau gone, impo, and while I agree that he needs to be gone asap, this is NOT the way to go about it. Carney will come in and he’s even more of an extremist than Trudeau. This is only going to hurt the citizens of BOTH countries. Pierre is the only hope and he can’t get in fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.

American who supports Canada. Our friends, neighbors and allies. I hope you will come back after we get rid of the rapist, felon and traitor trump.

He’s the common sense president….helping Russia and blasting allies. Makes total perfect sense, right?! We clearly have our common sense way…thank you Mr Trump for showing us who your real ally is. We needed this lesson for the help we gave on 911 etc. shame on us! I hope we’ve learnt a valuable lesson.

I thought prices were supposed to go down under Trump. Those of you who complained about the price of eggs , I hope you’re ready for higher housing, grocery, and gas prices.

Prime Minister Trudeau is far, far, far above the likes of Donald Trump. As an American citizen I apologize to the rest of the free world for our political and moral failures. Please be patient with us as we work to excise this political cancer from our culture. It may be a long haul but I keep my hopes high.

no empire will ever last forever... i hope Trump proves to be the Gorbachov of US

As a powerless American, I hope other countries will help curve Trump's madness/power kick. \n\nIt's embarrassing. He's destroying our economy, causing mass job loss, and just being played like a monkey by Musk, the Republican Party, and Putin. \n\nSeriously....I get his followers are either selfish rich people or ignorant barely passed highschool racists, but stupid/selfish is an excuse that only goes so far.

I hope Trump puts to tarifs up to 50%.

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

As an American I agree with Canada. Trump is out of his mind hope we impeach him Fast. Pray for us.

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

All free world leaders know that that Trump is an Orange Dimwit and Putins puppet. Hopefully, the MAGA cult wakes up and sees what they voted for and the harm that blob of stupidity is doing.

I hope Starmer grows a pair, and stands up to trump.

Trump needs to look at his own country’s fentanyl problem because America wouldn’t be having a fentanyl problem if America didn’t have the demand for the drug!!\nGood luck Trump…Hope you figure it out because America is the one that is demanding the drug and if Americans want it they usually find a way to get it…?..?

Trudy is a weasel, hopefully Trump helps you all find your huevos, (like it used to be)

As an American, i always want to support my country, but when they are attacking an ally and friend for absolutely no reason, i have no choice but to hope that Canada stands strong against Trumps bullying.

As an American for the whole of my 70 years, I applaud the actions of PM Trudeau. Please know that the majority of Americans value our friendships in this global community, and are ashamed of the actions taken by Donald Trump. I can only hope and pray that this insanity ends soon.

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

The USA are the most unreliable country in the world at the moment. That’s what we think here in Europe. And we fear that the worst is yet to come during trump’s administration. We do hope that the mid term elections will block his power. But they are far away

This is so heart breaking, I was actually hopeful that Trump would change things for the better but it feels like we’re in a downward spiral, pray for the US ??❤️

Well that’s a statesman there. Hopefully Trump will listens but I doubt it sadly.

Trump has issues. I hope y’all happy with y’all decision ???‍♂️??‍♂️!!!

my prime minister, speaks truth, and americans u are our brothers, i know most of u dont want this, i only hope trump can smarten up i am so sad he won election

Russians are in the OVAL OFFICE!!! Donald Trump is a traitor and a KBG Plant!! He was recruited by his first wife a KBG agent who was brought to the US in 1978. as part of a plot to break in to the NYC real estate market!!! The idea was to find a way to launder the increasing profits from Moscows drug and gambling operations!!! He has worked with the Russians for many years and is a personal friend of Putins!!! Russia has control of the US GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE BUSY DESTROYING THE US ECONOMY AND DEMOCRACY!!! You might as well put Putin in charge!!! Hopefully they will arrest and IMPEACH Trump and his government, before it's too late to do anything!!!

On behalf of all Americans with an active brain i do sincerely apologize for the dumb tariffs imposed by Trump and Musk and i hope that after Trump leaves office we can get someone who understands tarrifs and its effects and who will revoke this tariffs and restore the healthy America and Canada relationship once again.

Another impeachment for Trump????\nI hope so....

Every day I now get up and never felt more depressed about what Trump is doing not just to Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Wake up America before it’s too late. Surely you can’t support a so called president that if he is let will take Greenland, Gaza , Canada . I hope not, stand firm . He is as bad as Putin in my eyes!

From Germany.... i hope America is stronger than Trump!

Trump is a dictator and the sooner people realize it the more swiftly we can deal with it. If somebody doesn’t reach in and stop him it will become too late. His hope is to partner up with Putin and have the two countries work harmoniously. Imagine that Russia/USA almost has a ring to it. Trump is too stupid to know what he’s doing is going to result in his own demise. We can all see it coming I just hope somebody has enough balls to stop him

True American and True Canadians stand with Canada! Trump is acting like Putin is to Ukraine! The war is coming, if Trump gets HIS WAY! I hope the US military opposes their government !!!

16:50 we know for a fact this is NOT actually about Fentanyl and border security. Trump has literally stated that this is tactic to try and annex us, to decimate our economy so we have no choice but to join America. I just hope that our european allies will actually have our backs.

Mister Prime Minister, you could have used your time much better than speaking directly to Trump and hoping he is listening ..... maybe taking a big dump ....

CNN should not be surprised at the antics of Von Shitzinpantz when they have chosen to give him so much airtime and benefit of the doubt to the monster that they helped to create. CNN has facilitated this catastrophic situation. Hope CNN is satisfied with Trump's treachery and capitulation to Putin. His treachery must have cost Putin a king's ransom. What will it cost America ?It's soul I suspect

Why Trump why Canada. I hope America survives

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

It's a pure disgrace to see what Trump's tariffs are doing to healthy relations with Canada and Mexico.\n\nWatching that deplorable play between Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was extremely disappointing and bankrupt of too much to get into here. \n\nMany were hopeful that a more conservative administration would put a stop to the considerable wokeness and far left agenda, however it's clear the Trump administration is about personal gain, control, and more elite power. What Trump's doing is NOT about survival/progress/peace, but absolute Hegemony! ❤??

From brazil. Great speech. Trump has to go. Hope more world leaders has this courage to address trump's policies

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

Who do you think gets all the money from the tariffs?? Trump and Elon.. Down their pockets.. At the expense of the American people.. I'm from Denmark, and I hope America will see things clearly.. And what is happening now, is absolutely insane..

A breath of fresh air to hear a normal and caring leader speak instead of a narcistic, criminal, cowardly fraud like Trump.\nJustin we admire you in Europe?.\nI hope our leaders will work together and stand by Canada. The Canadians who liberated my country from the Nazis. We are still thankful for that.
