From Germany: Proud to hear a real leader. Staying with Ukraine,Mexico and Kanada.\nAfter Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine we had to change our oil- and gas-trade and rised the import from USA.\nLooks like we have to replace the USA by Kanada!\nCongratulations, Mr. Trump! We get it!\nNo, we don‘t want your paying for our support after 9/11. \nUSA, Kanada, U.K., France and Russia saved our country from an authoritarian murderous „Führer“.\nLater we had been with USA, Kanada and 29 other contries in a strong union to defend democracy and humanity.\nYou cancelled it. No congratulations.\nSpeechless and sad!

it is so sad that the Canadians have a far better method of boarder patrol, and deterrence

I am so proud of my Prime Minister! As for the Americans, I feel sorry for you! You have a lunatic running the country! Get him out! The damage he will do in four more years is incomprehensible! You won’t recognize your country! It’s so sad!

Thank you, PM Trudeau!!! From a REAL American, I consider you a bigger ally and friend than America's sad excuse of a 'president' aka America's Hitler. FUCK TRUMP/MUSK/VANCE/MAGA.

What is Trump doing? This move by Trump raising the Tariffs is bad for the US people Very sad to hear what he is doing to Canada considering what Canada is trying to do to help the US. Now because of this Canada has to raise their Tariffs to survive.

It’s nice to hear a real leader speak & understand everything word he says. The US is a sad place right now!! ?

So sad it’s come to this, I hope the American voters see what they’ve done

Way to go down swinging Just. VP Vance and Donnie J are sad indictment of the social mentality of America.

Trump is like a Toddler thar never grew up. Sad for the Americans that didn’t vote for him, but now have to pay the price of his stupidity.

I was born in Canada to Ukrainian Immigrants. I have dual citizenship. My loyalty is to both countries. I hate what President Trump has created here. We are now pawns in the game of Trade War. So sad.

Embarrassed as an American….so sad and simply disgusted….

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

As an American, I am proud of you Canada!! You are showing class, integrity, and good morals. What is happening in our country is absolutely unacceptable and makes me sad. I also stand with Mexico and Ukraine.

It’s a sad day when the Canadian PM has to fight for the American People

What’s sad is that this speech will never appear on Fox News @foxnews

I have never seen in my entire life anything bad between our Canadian people..this is sad..very childish..

Captain fuckin chaos is trumps plan. we are outclassed for real. I took the time to review some of our most recent presidents. The conduct of this POS is really degrading to what we have tried to become. REALLY SAD no class in this crowd and whats worse they seem to be good with it. WAKE TO FUCK UP. PLEASE

As a canadian this is really sad. hopefully they dont invade and kill us all. its scary

There are no words in any language that adequately describe just how big of a moron Donald Trump is. Its genuinely terrifying how so many people support this sad excuse for a man and look to him as a leader.

American here. A Never Trumper to the core. With sadness for the first time to be an American ,,, millions of us despise this and fought it and continue on doing so ,,but utmost respect to Canada # with a sad heart ❤?

So Sad, Canada is a Beautiful country.

As an American im proud of trump standing up for us and no longer allowong us to get taken advantage of. Countries are mad that they have to pay more instead, of expecting us to pay for them. Too bad, so sad. Us paying part of everyones share HAS been hurting us. The other country will just feel the pain as well instea dof feeling peace as we pay their price.

Poor United Soviets of America. They lost their Freedom, and torched Democracy. Will be sad seeing them fight for eggs and they pull out their stocks and run the banks and start hording toilet paper. USA cannot be trusted and will never be trusted again. RIP puppet of Russia. Just stay on your side of the border.

Sad to see him leaving. Such a great president.

Trump gets fact checked by JT! It’s sad when we have to get the truth from another country, thank you JT! Wish he was our president

I wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

Canada has been treating the United States like their personal ATM for way too long. You bring nothing to the table, but you have the audacity to ask for everything. It’s sad how most people don’t understand politics and just rely on media to tell them how to think and feel Russia is not a threat to no one but they have been constantly attack attacked by everyone especially the United States. You guys talk war but you’re not ready for World War III. No one can ever be ready for that

It's incredibly sad when world leaders have to call out trumps lies on the international stage because our own public is too stupid to realize them

It’s a sad day today in North America.

AMERICA IS OVER RATED AND RACIST. IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO. ITS TRULY SAD TO SEE THIS PLACE LOOK CRAZY LIKE THIS. ALIENATING US FROM ALL OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE TRUMP SAYS SO

All of Americas long standing allies now have to communicate with the president like police negotiators . Careful not to upset his fragile ego while he’s demanding a billion dollars and a helicopter. What a sad, incredible situation the world is in.

With Canada here...this is going to hurt US consumers and business more, and with inflation still an issue, this will only make things worse for us here. Where are our elected officials? Where are our Republican Senators and Congressmen? Why are they not speaking up for us the people??\nThis is a sad day for America!! Canada is our friend!!

I feel sick, sad, angry, and scared with everything going on right now. As a veteran, my heart is absolutely broken.\n\nWe're stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. The MAGA refuse to see or believe what's going on. They've been 100% brainwashed. The people in our government who can do something are standing back and laughing us off. It's very surreal. And very few of us have been able to save up enough to move. And moving to another country is incredibly expensive and difficult.\n\nI did not vote for Trump. Many didn't. Those who did are too proud to admit that what's going on is wrong. So long as it punishes people who think differently than them, they're glad to cut off their own arms to do so.

ITS A SAD TIME

Dear Canadians we are so sorry what this despicable president is doing! Millions of Americans are your friends. We are embarrassed and so sad what trump is doing. ?

I’m an American and I did Not vote for Trump. I knew he would destroy our country if he was elected. Many people are angry in America that Trump has launched this trade war with our Canadian friends. We love our neighbors. Many Americans do not want this. We are not happy with how things are changing for the worst in our country and in other countries. We are being ruled by an insane, thug/criminal and bully and his rich, puppet buddies. Diplomacy is not in their vocabularies. This is so sad. Stay strong Canada??

Another true leader showing how sick, sad, and pathetic the Republican Party and American so-called 'conservatives' are. Tump is the worst president, maybe the worst national leader in modern history. Thank god other nations have not succumbed to the Putin loving sickness of the Republican Party.

We don’t want this! Wake up America! I voted for her. These are sad times in America. Shameful. Thank you CNN.

It is very sad that a once called the land of the free and democracy, is now allied to the most corrupt, evil and anti democratic land of Russia. I hope the Americans can get their stuff together and kick that yellow hairdo and send him and his dog named Vance alone to Russia.

I’m stunned that people still watch CNN?! Sad!

As a conservative American it’s sad to see this, the great white north and Canadians are supposed to be our greatest allies im sorry guys

For decades, the United States has fought communism. It was one of the worst things there was and you could be accused of being. \nNow, the United States has turned its back on its allies in this struggle and instead followed the cause of the Communists. It is sad to witness.

sad he had to pretend that orangutan was smart, definitely untrue but the pathological narcissist cant listen to anyone who isnt glazing him. pathetic human

This is such a sad situation!!

No comparison between the two leaders. USA has a joke. So sad.

Sad day for the USA when your President is purposely destroying your economy for his personal profit and gain .

This whole situation is so sad... My utmost respect for Canada's demonstration of controlled strength in this whole ordeal ? I'll be sure to buy some Canadian maple syrup tomorrow ??????❤ Love from the Netherlands

We shouldn’t hurt a friend and neighbor. ? Sorry Canada. This is very sad.
