As a proud American I stand with Canada.

this is so disgraceful, trump has dragged american ideals and history into the ground. i stand with canada as an american.

American here, I will stand with you Canada. Even if it means treason.

Many americans would move to Canada but we can't even afford rent without 3 jobs. ?‍♀

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

For all the Americans who 'stand' with Canada, you're welcome to try and move there. Once they reject you, compare and contrast their immigration policy to that of your own country.\n\n\nAnd try migrating there without approval. I can't wait until you ironically call them racist, too.

Well done Canada ❤ We all suffer in this, Americans included. But we will not be 51st State. We are an independent and free country and will stay that way.

American supporting Canada ?? God help us with the traitors we have in office.

As an American, I support Canada. Please make it hurt here at home. It’s the only thing that makes people think twice and move for change. God speed

Bravo Trudeau - As an American I stand with Canada! Do what ya'll got to do against the tyrant in charge here.

i'm canadian in canada we love our american neighbours just not what's in the white house

All American ?? states to Canada ?? and Trudeau will be the president ?

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

People in Canada just have to do what they have to do. But there are ways to carry on without 100% of the US business and hospitality. We never had to look far for things as American companies had offered to deal with Canada of course to their profit as well. So now we have to look around for new customers, start new ventures. It doesn't have to be this way. Things were great for both of us the way it was. And it can be that way again once Trump is gone. This will be temporary. Trump is not forever. We both have realized now what both countries had and we can carry on when the time comes.

Technically, the POTUS has created a trade war against Canada, not the USA. A good sizable American demographic did not want this neither.

We’re with you Canada!!! Thank you for saying the truth and standing for your country!!! \nEmbarrassed American here!!

Americans have families and relatives in Canada and vice versa so this is a dumb thing to do by Donald

From NY. REAL Americans stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nI love Canada and how it's always had our backs through thick and thin.

True Americans stand with all people who are fair, honest and DEMOCRATIC in their thinking...that includes the people of Canada and Mexico. I'm not altogether certain about the Chinese but we'll see if or how this impacts them and the reaction from there. That BUM knows precisely who those tariffs will benefit and it's not the people who work so hard in order to live their lives. I'm not crazy about Free Trade either but it is what it is.... This is retaliation...pure and simple. Anyone who crosses him will live to regret it...he'll make certain of it. He must be stopped and stopped NOW!

Some american people stand with you. The rest of those people are MAGA. Now we ALL pay. Canada please remember we are NOT all MAGA and support you. As far as I am concerned you need not explain it again. Those that listen have heard you. WE heard Kamala and Tim. The rest have their heads so far up their arse they can't hear!

I have never been so ashamed to be an American. I wish that Kamala would have won. I wish I could escape to Canada.

I am American and i disavow are evil leadership. Trump is a dark thing to happen to this country. I stand with Canada and Trudeau. These are dark times. Maga is very popular here and I think vance could be the next president for 8 years. Maga is evil and must be defeated.

Why oh why don't the American's see what ever Canada, Mexico or Europe does will make no difference. Trump and his henchmen want's to destroy western alliances.

We are SO SORRY, Canada! \nThere are MILLIONS of American’s who feel the same… “Make it make sense?!” Thank you Canada for years of wonderful relations. This is what the people want to continue. Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth and speaking directly to us and our current, unfortunate leadership with facts and decorum. We applaud you standing your ground. Stay strong against our bullying government. It’s a sad, sad time. ❤️‍?

The sane Americans stand with Canada. Proud of our Canadian friends who are standing up to the bully who occupies the people's house. Canada, the new leader of the free world!

I, an American citizen, stand with Canada. I'm sorry so many Americans think Trump was going to be such a great thing. He's not. He is VERY stupid and only cares how he looks on TV. IMPEACH Trump

American here. To Canada and Mexico: do your thing. Our sorry excuse for a president is doing this for NO reason other than he's a complete spoiled CHILD. I stand with our neighbors to the north and south!!!?❤? ??❤

Most of us Americans think what is going on in our government is heinous and disastrous. We love you Canada…do what you got to do.

CANADA IS ANTI AMERICAN, WE DO NOT FORGET OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OR WAR! WE DO HOWEVER HATE NAZIS AMD FACISTS LIKE TRUMP.

As a resident of Michigan I support Canada 100 Percent. Trump is a Traitor!!! Punish all of US to wake up the 49 percent of Americans who voted for the Orange Traitor and his Vice President Muskmellon!!!!

shut off the gas. \nshut off the electricity.\nkick out any american military forces from canada. \nclose the border.

As an American I am ashamed of the actions of our president Mr.SprayTan. Please understand this is NOT what a lot of Americans wanted. It is the wants of bigots, racists, narcissists and dictators that made this happen..I stand with Canada, Ukraine and Europe.

This is neither here nor there to Americans but the Canadians will not forget this in a hurry. They are going to boycott American goods of their own free will. The result is the US will have lost market share in Canada well after this tariff spat is over.

Good luck to the real Americans standing against tyranny and the billionaire nazi mafia, Canada stands with you, but we have to get away from the insanity. good bye from your northern neighbours.

Trump wants to do anything he can to weaken the USA as much as he can for the love he has for Putin, so he will lie about everything in order to do this. He lies about canada to justify what he is doing that we all know is hurting we american people . He doesnt care. Nothing canada or mexico does will make a differnce because of the overwll goal he has.

This is a dark day for Americans. True Patriotic Americans stand with Canada.

American here....way to go Canada...I hate that we will have to suffer but keep standing up to this orange bully

Go Canada this American is behind you.

As an American let me say we don’t want this either! That said, go for it Canada! Don’t spare the rod. Maybe, just maybe if Trump blows up our economy and his supporters lose their jobs and homes and families they will finally wake up and see that fat tub is shit in the White House for what he really is.

As an American i stand with Canada.

Can i please come live in Canada. I am embarrassed to be american after how he treated zelensky and kissing putins butt. I will move in a heart beat.

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

I'm American and stand with Canada!

Well spoken, go Canada and I’m American Brooklyn, New York

I’m American, fuck Trump and Elon Musk. I support my brothers and sisters in Canada and across the world! This is bs and this sucks for all of us. We started a war with our friends…Everyone knows real winners win together.

I'm an American and I'm ashamed. I stand with Canada.

As an American I stand with Canada and apologize on behalf of the country for the childish uneducated Trump voters and for our failed education system. This is the direct result.

If trump uses the military to attack the USAs closest Allie for over 100 years, what will you say then? I will not become an American citizen, I will not bow to trumpty dumpty. Canada’s not for sale! ?? ?

California stands with Canada. Please keep addressing the people of our country directly. Unlike trump, us SANE Americans are listening.

I’m Franco-American and I support Canada. So do all of my American, Canadian and French friends and family.
