As an American I am with Canada. How refreshing to hear an intelligent leader speak the truth. How things would have been different had Kamala Harris been our President.

Canada, you should build a wall, before Americans become the next generation of illegal immigrants, as climate, politics and their economy makes their country inhospitable… just joking of course… or not?

I’m an American & I stand with Canada!!!?????

We have 2 mode in Canada : we are sorry and YOU WILL BE SORRY. Because how americans had voted.By the way, you can complaint only if you vote for the Democrat party. Canadians right now can complaint but we are strong, we are resiient, we never start a war BUT, we never back time when it was time of a war. We join our ally when it was a need.

As an American, I stand with Canada and all other nations that are standing up to DT's autocratic and evil actions.

We are best friends over century USA and Canada, no matter any hardship including 911 disaster, Canadian open airport for American, and supply sheltering and more, respect secondary largest peaceful land and generous country Canada.

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

As an American, I stand with Canada and; Tuck Frump, Tuck Frump!

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

As an American I say do what you need to do. I stand with Canada. I'm so sorry this is happening ?

Prime Minister no apologies American supporting Canada. Thankyou!

Indigenous American here, we stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe! Not russia.

I support Canada & Ukraine and I'm American!!

I am an American but I stand with Canada. The Trump administration is destroying our country. We the people need to take our country back.

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

As an American I am so disgusted by this country that they voted in this monster and I wake up every day afraid of what horrors await us from the oval office. Much respect to Canada for fighting back, these tariffs will serve nobody.

Deer Canada we the American Patriots are against this everyone didn't vote for these horrible people in office we will not back down from our government we are sorry for the felon and his regime this is not the American way but it's a disgrace and disgusting embarrassment we stand with our allies

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

I am an American. I am not sure why trump is continuing to tariff Canada since they held their end of the bargain and improved border security. This is getting out of hand.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Trump is a mentally ill psychopath just like 'putin', Canada is a strong and free country for ever. I feel sorry for americans that voted this uneducated low life goon to the white house.

I'm an American that loves you, Canada. I want this madness to end and I want our relationship to mend. It might take time, but I hope it at least happens in my lifetime

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

This is very WEAK by this President. President Trump was voted in by The Majority of Americans. We The People are tired of Not coming 1st. Canada is only weaker because of this speech. Weak.

Go Canada. Stick it to those stupid Americans and that tyrant.

I am gobsmacked with all the comments left on here from Americans standing with Canada... that's the way it should be however, how in the hell did that SOB get into office yet again if everyone is saying they did not vote for him. America had the opportunity to have someone sitting in The Whitehouse that would clearly better their country instead .......You have this.

American who supports Canada. Our friends, neighbors and allies. I hope you will come back after we get rid of the rapist, felon and traitor trump.

As an American of many who did not vote for Trump, we stand with our neighbors in Canada!

American citizen, disabled, LGBTQIA, and have lost many friends and most family members because of Trump. Struggling to survive this nightmare as I stand with our allies Canada and Mexico (and Ukraine).

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

I’m an American. I support you Canada!????

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

This isn’t about fentanyl. This is trump trying to intentionally destroy the US. As an American citizen, I am sickened and furious over what’s he is doing to my country. Canada, don’t back down. Stick it to the orange idiot.

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

This Mexican American stands with our President TRUMP! USA…USA….\nWe don’t need Canada, CNN is also FAKE NEWS!?

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am ashamed of Trump. I do not agree with his rudeness and his shameful disrespect. Stand strong Canada. There are Americans standing with you.

Europe stand strongly behind Canada and Mexico\n\nPeople stop buying american stocks\nPeople stop buying american goods\nCountries start making new friends and allies excluding USA\n\nPoor you\nMy heart goes to all people who protest \nRemove your president and the top they are not worthy of you hard earned taxmoney….they only wants to make themselves rich and remove you the peoples voice\n????????

Fuck, see what you idiots who voted for trump did. Eggs cost $1 each, Canada is hating us now, everything cost more now, Russia gonna take over Ukraine… Sad to be American these days.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The US did not slap tariffs on Canada, the boss of the US did it-against the American people’s best interest. Out of spite & a revengeful rotten soul.

American for ?? Canada, The man in our HOUSE is disgusting. I stand with Canada ??, Ukraine ??and Mexico ?? ! Don’t back down.???

As an American citizen that did not vote for the squatter's in the White House that are causing all of this unnecessary chaos, I support Canada. The fact that our Government stands with Putin is sickening. Trust me, Canadian citizens, we did not want this and I am so sorry.

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

He brought up something I hadn’t thought about trump trying to weaken companies for take overs. Now that sounds like trump. American here is with you Canada

Im mexican American God bless canada

Time for Mr Trump to go let's impeach his ass today! Our closest Ally is Canada and we have to deal with his bulshit Mr Trump you need to get a life and think of the American people not just your own pocket.

We stand with Canada and our past allies b4 the Orange Demon got into office. Black Americans stand w/ you all bc we believe in peace.

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

Canada sells us 250 billion dollars more than they buy of our stuff so boo hoho Americans are sick of r so called allies screwing us
