I’m a US citizen who is appalled that Trump is our president.\n\nTrump is doing great harm to the US.\n\nTrump’s street-thug bullying tactics are egregiously inappropriate for the office of the President of the United States. \n\nTrump’s endorsement of a murderous Russian dictator does not reflect American values, and does not represent our interests. \n\nTurning against our allies does NOT benefit the US. \n\nTo Canada citizens: I hope you can see from the comments that most US citizens wish to be good neighbors!

Go Canada - full support from Sweden, and we want to extend our European friendship to you all!

As an American who grew up in Canada, this saddens me to my core. I spent my whole childhood and into my 20s in Canada, and am really regretting ever leaving for this cesspool. I still have all of my family in Canada and I will always feel Canadian and will always stand by and fight for them ?❤️?

Canada couldn't hurt the USA IF THEY TRIED FOR HUNFRED YEARS YOU SIR HAVE ONE OPTION ALIGHN WITH OUR PRESIDENT OR YOU WIIL REGRET IT YOU AREA FOOL IF YOU THINK THIS FOOLISH PRESS conference is going to intimidate president Trump only a fool would try something like this so stupid.

People have got this all wrong, first trump is not smart. 7:50 Trudeau is saying that canada and the US are friends, they are not, now that trump is in office. People keep framing this as friends of america. Trump is aligned with Russia, so everything you thought is the opposite now.

An American Democrat here…stay strong Canada ??. More than half of this country support you and are ready to fight with you against this illegal regime who has disgraced us with their presence!!!!

I have been to Canada quite a few times, they are a lovely people living in a beautiful country. So lovely to hear a man speaking sense. Well done.❤

Prime Minister, a lot of us, including myself, never voted for this chaos. You do what you need to do to counter this. I for one admire Canada very much. Wish I could move to Canada.

As I am the 27,000th commenter, I know this won’t be read…but the REAL reason DJT is doing this is to knock us (Canada) down and weaken us so he can come in and take what he wants afterwards. He knows he can do this, just like he did a few days ago with Ukraine. You are not our neighbours; you are not our friends. You are the new world predator country.

Don’t let 5he Narcissistic BULLY PUSH FORWARD … WE STAND WITH YOU CANADA ??

BRAVO Canada!!!

To all Canadians this guy just dragged all of you into World War III President Trump tried to stop the war, but Zelinski Trudeau are Democrats and the European leaders. Want to continue the war. Also, does anything grow in the winter time up there in Canada? How are you gonna eat if you boycott the United States

As an American, I say Canada shut the hell up and prepare to be number 51?

You know you screwed up when Canada stops being polite.

I hope Canada and the EU can get closer, and set up trade of most of our natural resources with them BEFORE Trump get yelled at to change things so theyre extra screwed. I also dont understand why the USA is so hell bent on making Russia happy and their Allies angry, is the USA and RUSSIA the new Allies? Dont Americans find this unnerving??!?!?!?! This is all goijng to make China the new real SuperPower on its own with a ton of Soft Power while they continue to ramp up development around the world and the USA is being gutted by a business man and his unelected NAZI buddy Elon....so weird...!

good shit Canada, stand your ground!

Being an American I am behind Canada and feel these Tariffs are uncalled for and will do nothing to help our ever growing Inflation! It is Trump, and the problem is the rest of our Government (Congress and Judiciary) are spineless and won't stand against him. Trump is not doing anything for us but HURT us. I call for Trump's IMPEACHMENT and taken out of Office!!

Australian here, we support Canada. The US is out of control.

I thought this clown resigned after cheating on his wife??? Canada you can do much better than this tool it's not difficult to understand Americas position so why won't you stop the fentanyl Justin?

? Justin Trudeausingh the clown? of canada.

Go Canada, ?? ? Fighting for your rights. We support you. We are with you.

Canada Boycott American Products ❤

Guys let’s start supporting Canada ! I’ll go buy maple syrup and whatever Canadians goods I can find in the supermarket tomorrow.

Ô Canada, we stand on guard for Thee. Let's fight back for our land and our economy.

Wow …. What A speech ! Well spoken ! Straight and Frank ! Viva Canada !

Tarifs are taxes. If the US and Canada both increase taxes, the only loosers will be the American and the Canadian people. The States of both countries will be fine. They'll be even richer.

go Canada , I'm so proud of you and the UK

Canada is showing us the way to follow. I hope that the boycott will also gain momentum here and that our governments will kick US companies off our soil.

Trudeau is on his way out, and he knows it. Canadians hate him. We all saw that change could come through elections. Make Canada Great Again.

I am fearful for what Trump wants to do here. We should never be provoking our border countries. Seems like an act of war. Also, guaranteed we need to work on addiction issues in our own country. Fentanyl doesn’t just come from borders. And I am sure Canada hasn’t enough crossing from their borders that is hurting us! F T rump!

Canada might cut off electricity to half the united states for a few hours as a demonstration and wake up call.

I am Ukrainian. I support you, peace-loving Canada! The old man has gone crazy!

I thought it was a reciprocal tax? Canada charges 25% so the US is charging 25%? Did i miss something?

Pay your debts, Canada. We will work on paying ours that our stupid politicians and bureaucrats have stolen and given to our enemies.

Suport and love from Türkiye to Canada and Ukraine. ??????

GO CANADA . . . tell it like it is!!! . . . Drumpf and his cult are an existential enemy.

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

suck it sideways canada, bunch of crybaby liberals that rely on daddy AKA the UNITED STATES

We should NEVER be in ANY sort of warfare with Canada, a country I love as if it were my 2nd home. This breaks my heart.\nLove yall.\nIm sorry and embarassed. I used to be proud of my own country. Its very hard to feel pride right now.\n-USA

I am an American and totally agree with Canada. \nTrump is messing with Canada and all Americans in his crazy quest to get money to give the 1% billionaires.

It's more like Canada vs. Trump..... NOT Canada vs. America

I hope your viewers note that the majority of illegal guns and most of the Cocaine coming into Canada all cross the US Border, where are the US actions to stop these items coming into our country?

America first canada first. EU ALSO FIRST NO WAY WE NEED AMERICA ??????

I hope mexico and canada sign a trade deal asap never mind the us,the us is untrusthworty he doesnt respects his own signature

Love that Trudeau calls him Donald, not Mr.President. He doesn’t deserve the respect from Canada.

Sell your shit to a third world Canada see how much money you get.protect your own country

You agree for - 1 % is going from Canada ????❤

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

He hates you trudeau, get put of canada before someone takes you out , your an imbecile and 100 percent of Canadians want you out . I thought you resigned, you have no place in canada. Get lost

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…
