I did not vote for this Bozo the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time. This American and Army veteran supports you Canada.

i’m an american. i stand with canada

This American stands with Canada. I vote in every election I can, and I vote against everything this administration stands for. Being an American is embarrassing right now. And also terrifying. /Hugs to all our allies who are standing up to the bully in the white house.

Looks like Canada back down…. Looks like you American uninformed foo-ls don’t know how REAL negotiations work

It is no longer a secret. President Donald Trump is a Russian Asset. He's openly destroying American Allies and closest friends while getting extremely close to Russia. Canada is America's closest ally, neighbour, and trading partner, and this is how you're going to treat them. The sooner the American people realizes this and pressure their elected officials to make Donald Trump to reverse course, the less damage this will cost Americans in the long run.

I support you, Canada! XO - an American

True democratic Americans understand you, Canada. Love ya'll!

I am an American and I am NOT behind this so called “President” Trump. he will never be my president. To Canada, please pray for the USA. We are being attacked by traitors and cowards.????

As an American I love you Canada. I am so so sorry for our evil president, I did NOT vote him in!

THERE IS A 180 DEGREE OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND DONALD TRUMP. AMERICANS STAND WITH CANADA AND UKRAINE!!??

It seems like he is begging, why can't Canada reduce tax on American goods, so simple

americans please wake up. they are all corrupt but canada is petty. they ALREAADY IMPOSE TARIFFS ON US. weve just been nice.

Hey Canada, This is why you voted for this guy.\n\nAs an American whose entire income is driven by the market, your reaction is entirely warranted. Bring the pain, American success demands on it.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

American here! I stand with Canada!

Hold on y’all… I only heard less than 10 seconds on the video and he just DECLARED Canada as “our closest threat?” For real?? Better be glad I’m not in charge cause I’d “declare Canadian airspace as American territory.” Dont fly nothing

The irony is that as an American, trump makes me want to move to Canada. Can I seek asylum in Canada on grounds of having a deranged fucking idiot as president?

American from Oregon here, I stand with Canada ?? ❤

True American Patriots stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Civilized Nations that were US Allies.\nWe do not support those who stand with Fascists Putin, Maduro, Bolsonaro, Un, Orban and Their puppets: president muskrat and his Sloppy seconds

As Donald made alot of American is b******s, Canada won't fall for it. I rather live a bit less richer, than become this dictator b****h. Good Luck USA! YOU VOTED FOR THIS MAN, BUT WE DIDNT!

Canada aint usa closest friend or ally, Israel is\n\nSee how none of American gov dares say anything against israel???

Brilliant speech ...he is good at it ....he sounds so concerned about americans ...and as I see from comments americans are concerned about Canada .....what a wonderful world

Trump isn't a very smart guy. He's an idiot.\nThis American stands with Canada!

As an American I stand with Canada and Mexico there’s some of us that don’t agree with what this government is doing. And as an American we shouldn’t stand with Russia that’s wrong. I’m sorry to all the countries out there that are taken effect by our circus of a government.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

I think as an American that likes Canada to a certain point agro tourist spots there a little too isolated with there tiny bridges to get in and there pathetic security at there borders so maple syrup will be more expensive it just means the rest of the states that produce syrup will profit more we as Americans can do without the business of canada but Canada cant go without American support can survive with out Niagara Falls nope

Canada, you should have gone to fifty per cent tariffs on USA, let americans like that????

As an American I stand with our President DJT we don't need u Canada you can stop piggyback our military protection

I'm an American and I fully support Canada. \n\nApologies for Donald's dumb actions, he's such a naughty boy.

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

Canada is more American than USA rn

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

I’m American ?? and I’m ashamed, this is pitiful. I stand with our Allies Canada ??, Ukraine ??

Everyone who is in the comments saying they stand with Canada and are Americans are a disgrace. Glazing this corrupt men but then again its all Democrats in the comments ?? TRUMP 2025 BABY

Americans siding with this guy please go move to Canada! Bye!!

Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

The American people do not blame you, Canada.

I am an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine ❤

I wish I wasn't American. I wish I lived in Canada.. We stand with you. So sorry we have toddler as our President..

I am a 72 years of female who lives in Canada with very strong American roots as I came here when I was 46 years of age. I have to say that what is happening between the United States of America and Canada breaks my heart. I have always known that Canada and United States of America worked and got along with each other all my life. Yes, my heart is broken for the Americans and the Canadiens who will suffer because of this trade war that President Trump started. Prayers for both countries.

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

Red state American, former Republican in recovery here. This is the only world leader I listened to today, and time well spent. Bring it like you're getting it, Canada. Decent America is with you. The better you fight back, the sooner we Americans can get our country back.

WE DON'T WANT THIS EITHER. WE STAND WITH YOU CANADA NOT TRUMP. I AM AN ?? AMERICAN CITIZEN. PRAYING ? ? ❤?

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

I thought you resigned brah… any “American” that agrees with this silly talk should move to Canada. Bye Felicia

Good on you Trudeau, an? excellent responses. Hope all Americans will understand who Trump is not Americans first but for Trump himself and his billionaires NOT Americans citizens .God bless Canada.

Trump (Comrade Krasnov) is not American and does not speak for America. He’s a traitor. And in the pocket of Putin.\n\nI stand with Canada.

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

It's AMAZING how many bots are claiming to be Americans who stand with Canada. ????

We as Americans ❤ Canada!!! I hope Donald you rethink!!!
