Thank you Canada! I’m so sorry this is happening, but thank you for calling out lies coming from this side. And thank you for retaliating, because unfortunately, I think we need to break before we can grow, and that’s so sad

Booooooohooooooooo! Oh im so sad for Justin ohhhoooohhh noooooo! Why TRUMP!? WHY!!? ??????

If you are Canadian, I would leave the USA immediately because there are American Hillbillies that are stupid enough to run you off the road. Sad day in America..so sorry Canada!!

Wow! Trump is turning friends into enemies and enemies into friends. So sad!

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

You won’t break our souls Donald.\nSuch a traitor to all of America & and a world wide menace. Makes me so sad for us and for this world. Congress you can’t ignore this! Act accordingly and remove the toxic waste by impeachment before it’s too late.

What is it going to take for Americans to realize they are heading pedal to the metal to become a 3rd world country run by a dictatorship? 6 weeks of the current presidency will take hundred of years to recover, if ever. So sad.

Why this is happening? I think this is the question of americans too? So sad? hopefully pres trump will change this decision

This stuff is so obvious, it's sad that grown men have to explain it like 3rd grade teachers.

I am so sad that anti-americanism is going to soar because of Trump’s outrageous behaviour on all fronts. Farewell to the international order that was before Trump and has passed away through these last six weeks.

Its so sad?? God help us a mad man is hurting all of the World pray everyone pray hard for Gods intervention....we love Canadian neighbors ...true Christians never act lime this never?????

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

As an American, my heart breaks for my country. It is so sad that our friendship has been damaged.

So sad

I am a american, and I'm so sad what our government doing, with the world

It is so sad that so many will have to suffer because of one delusional man.

I'm Brazilian, and it legit makes me so sad to see the Canadians being left this way by Trump... it's just a dumb situation, it's a selfish move made by him, and that sure affects Canada a lot, and that's why my family and I stopped buying American products. Stay safe and strong, canucks.\n❤

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

It’s hard to truly put into words how hard it is to be an American right now who doesn’t agree with our government’s actions. I’m honestly just so sad.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Trump is trash and he wants to be a dictator so bad is sad

4 years of Trump, Puttin's friend. Sooo Sad. Wanting it as a 51 state So crazy.

General Clark, thank you for talking about what republicans choose to ignore, putin IS playing Donald. So sad.

so sad that those Trump supporters still believe what he did is good which does not make sense

The president here is Putin now. So sad how our country are being destroyed by this clown

It's so sad Canadians aren't told the true facts.....\n I urge you not to take everything he says. For truth and do some searching yourself before you make a statement against the USA and Donald Trump....

We hear you. It is so sad that the bullies in the White House will ignore you. ❤

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

It makes me so sad that our Canadian friends have to explain their loyalty and friendship to us… their American neighbors. We don’t want this. Only Trump does. ?

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

Makes me so sad that a vocal minority like trump pushed Trudeau out of Canada. He is exactly who we need right now and he's on his way out ?. No hate to the USA but you guys have gotta tell him to stop, why would we fight? Dumb

Really ??He’s calling Putin s Name.. what s he got to do with tariffs.. ? So sad

As a European I now believe that the USA is our enemy. It's so sad and unbelievable. Even if the Democrats get elected in 2028, the damage has been done. The sheer volume of people in the USA that voted for an autocrat/dictator that disrespects the constitution is proof that the old democratic USA is mortally damaged. Trump is a monster but he's just a symptom, a phlegm coughed from the lungs of seriously damaged society

Proud Canadian here!!!! Soon enough the Americans will regret and feel sorry.... it's so sad US is led by a big fat bully who is so lack of proper vocabs and is only interested in playing kiddy games!!

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

So refreshing to hear our well spoken prime minister after hearing that orange turd most of the time in the news! And yet so many here hate Trudeau! Sad sad world we live in.

To all Canadians, coming from a US citizen, I'm sorry that we have a moron as the president. Morons elected a moron and now you and us have to endure the consequences. The sad part is morons won't learn a damn thing, because they are morons so I'm very doubtful about the future of US.

Thank you to all of you taking the time to send your supportive thoughts and words.\nWe so didn't want our hand to be forced :(\nWe need to unite as North Americans, this is senseless and so divisive. Sad ?

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

Dear dear people of Canada if any of you read any of these comments I want you to know that there are A LOT of us who are ABSOLUTELY NOT happy, about anything that this man\n who has been elected president, is doing. There are some of us who had definitely considered asking Canada for a dual citizenship. But this, I discovered is not an easy process ? we are so sad and sorry that a portion of our citizens were able to vote this man back into the White House. All we can say is, Dear Lord, please rescue us from this horrible situation ???

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

And they speak more than two languages this is so so sad?

This is so very sad. I sincerely hope the Canadians know that the American people do not want this. Most of us are appalled and desperately want this to end. We never wanted it to happen in the first place.

I truly love how GOD has made it so each country needs each other. It is sad how Trump cannot understand that.

It's sad that Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America need other men to make him look so-called strong! The United States of America is a Latin stock and I want the rest of the world to know that the American people did not vote for this, do not want this, and to be honest with that we do not want Donald Trump in South Africa can take Elon Musk back because we don't want him either, actually emblemas can go f*** himself! We apologize to the Ukraine president, to Mexico president to the Canadian president, and all the leaders that have been allies to the United States of america, I'm speaking on behalf of every sane American care in the United States of America please accept our apologies and don't judge us so harshly because we didn't want this at all?

What does it take to defect to Canada? I'm a (god help me) US citizen and want a incredible Prime Minister like you! You are awesome and you are doing whats right for Canada. I'm so sad at what our Government is doing. It's a disgrace.

This is so 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!

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