As an American I am afraid of my government. Our future is bleak and uncertain. I can not do anything due to me being 1 person. I am 1 voice, but no one wants to protest, instead people want to sit and accept it. I do not want this, and I struggle because of the political BS because people are stupid. I do not have the money to relocate my family or I would. This has become a sad and dark part of US history.\nThese tariffs were a result of Ukraine and Trump having an ego trip. Nothing less.\nI will always support my fellow Americans, but there's only so much I will support. I will always support Ukraine Canada and Mexico.

We, Americans do not believe you any longer! Terrible leadership! Sad for Canadians to have to put up with so much socialism!

Just a simple woman from Germany speaking here. I am just sad. What is going on in the world ? one „president“ destroys friendships and alliances, decades old, in weeks. So sad.

As a Mexican/American citizen, I stant with you Canada ?? ❤??.\nWell said !!!! We love you!! So sad what is happening to the whole world is such a short time for a .... person.?

I need to move to Canada. Serious question, how does a US Citizen become Canadian resident? US is falling apart, no longer a place I love. It's so sad.

The US is isolating itself from the world. It is indeed the strongest and the richest country. But the decisions, the current admin has made will damage the United States. Specifically the people of the estates with or without knowing, they will pay for the cost caused by the wrong decision made by MAGA. This is really sad to see how they divide themselves and the world. Only a few of idiots has gotten so much power to harm normal people who are only interested in living a peace and happy life with loved ones or their own family but now their suffer just started.

As a German citizen: our US friends make me so sad and scared at the same time. After our people were defeated, we learned (at least for many of us) where nationalism and hatred can lead and how important international cooperation is. You were our friends as the Canadians were and are. Please come to your senses dear US friends. Underneath all the bad, I hope that the Canadian-European partnership can continue to grow

I hear you and are with Canada, europe and Ukrain - and the rest of the peace loving world… Unfortunately this does not include USA anymore…. So sad, but this is all due to the insanity of Trumph

This is so sad. Unfortunately Trump's followers are not watching this. They're being brainwashed by FoxNews. They watch no other channels.

Dear MAGA Christians:\nTrump is working for Russia. \nWe warned you imbeciles and you still voted for him - so you could “own the libs.”\nNow, you’re going to hurt because all the social services YOU depend on (and we “libs” pay for with taxes) are going to be taken away. \nIt makes me sad that so many good people will suffer but the silver lining - if there is one - is that YOU will suffer more. Because all you have is the f***ing church (who, by the way, funnel your donations straight to the Republican Party)\n\n✝️??️

I am so sorry to all affected, everyone, from a very sad Canadian right now

This is beautiful, how well spoken, how are articulate this is a real leader. I'm so impressed, as an American I am disappointed when Donald opens his mouth. This is a sad day for Amaga's I mean Americans oops. You losers get what you voted for. Where's the low prices?

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

This was the best Country USA in the world !! What happened to us!! So sad so scary

VERY WELL SAID SIR, APPRECIATE YOUR CLEAR PLAN AND THE RATIONAL- IT IS SO SAD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO EEMS TO BE A JOKE- CLEARLY NO JUSTIFICATIO N IT WAS CLEAR FROM BEGINING IT IS APERSONAL GAIN NOT COUNTRY- NO FENTANOL- IT IS A JOKE THAT WE CANT EVE THINK A LEADER WILL USE AS EXCUSE

Trump works for the Dictators and the rich. The US government doesnt care about their people at all. Yet they vote it all in. Makes me super sad, because the US citizens are so vulnerable and uncared for. Sure he will paint a different picture. Open your eyes, see what is happening, hear what is happening. Your Government is harming your Nation.

Trump is a Dump for Putin. He is Putin's --- kisser. It's so sad. Billionaires first, working class people are just puppets.

It’s so sad and shocking that Trump chose to against his allies and stand with Putin.

Am so sad that USA continues to bully not only Americans but all those countries that we worked with previous years. GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH HOW AMERICA IS TREATING OUR NEIGHBORS. STAND IN UNITY PRAYING GOD WILL SHOW UP. ??

Oh my god this is so sad. As an American i don’t know what we can do to fight this government, they are making it incredibly difficult

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

Donald Trump Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Putting Our Country In Big Danger They Don’t Care About Us It’s All About Money And It’s So Sad ? I Commend Canada For Standing Up For They Country Lord Knows We Need Someone Like You And PM Zelensky!?

As a Canadian it makes me so sad to see our relationship destroyed. I always felt like we were cousins and would always stick together and help each other. This is a sad day. Our enemies have won today. Very sad day

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

Proud of Prime Minister Trudeau today ?? It's a very sad day for all of North America. So many people's lives are going to be negatively impacted

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

He is so right. Glad you speak the truth. It’s so sad America has turned out to be like this. It’s disappointing. Praying for America & the innocent people.

A sad shame for the ? disgraceful criminal in the white house!! So sorry Canada

This makes me so sad. The Canadians are our friends. It boggles my mind that Republicans think he is their savior. How ignorant

God, trump is so mad. It's sad really, USA was our friend.

Unfortunately it seems we all did not learn in school that our neighboring countries were our allies and those are the ones we should retain a good relationship with so sad ?

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

I am American and I stand with Canada. And Ukraine. And Europe. And Mexico. I do NOT stand for the United States. This is so sad and scary.

An am American… this is so sad :/ I can’t believe we are in THIS timeline….

As a Canadian living in the U.S, I felt so sad to see the two countries I loved fighting against each other ?

❤❤❤ so sad we didn’t choose him for president

Its so sad that the united state president its a joke.

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

Listening to him speak makes me so sad . Why can’t we have such a composed and articulate leader? This is so crazy

Trump is playing with fire (PUTIN) and will get burned. That's the word of God in the Bible he claims to believe....so be it....but very sad for the Americans who did not vote for this garbage!

This is so sad. We Americans love Canada, Mexico and China. This is not what Americans want at all. This is what trump wants. He is destroying us for no reason. This is so hard to watch

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

So sad that our government knows how to SCREW UP A FRIENDSHIP. Hear, hear Mr. Trudeau you have my total respect.

Thank for teach Doanl Trump thta even in a battle a person in politic could be polite and you are rignt in all , Donal Trump is a president that does not how to talk polite or have a discussion with elegance this a war for everyone and hurting the world in general special our own neighbors sad to see hope this 4 years past fast so this guy can leave america LOVE CANADA

I am so sad???our friends, our allies, to whom Canada has always supported in their wars, has been always side by side is BETRAYING US???How can you trust??????this is the second time brothers. FIX IT

I am so sad to hear about that, peace please, don’t do the tariff war, don’t do that

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

So unnecessary... Very sad this needs to happen.

Great speach, but so sad that it’s needed!? Best wishes from Sweden!

Sad day for America? Did you guys forget the sithole ur PM put you in? So easy to distract it's hilarious
