Isn’t it the canadian border bigger than the US with Mexico? And they got a better protection plan. Cani move to Canada? They are very nice people. I have met many canadians in cruises. And they are super. Nice people. Now i am going to another cruise prepare to apologize for the situation that me as an american do not approved.

As an American, I am embarrassed, ashamed and outraged at Trump. I can't believe that Republicans are going along with any of what Trump is doing!

I am an American and I did not vote for Trump! This is ridiculous! I apologize to Canada on behalf of us Americans who did not ask for this. We support you Canada.

As an American that saw the writing on the wall 7 years ago and left, I thank you Mr. Trudeau. You, and Canada are very much respected, and the world listens. Hopefully, decent Americans will overthrow the tyrant that 50% of them voted him in. To say I am ashamed of the USA as it stands is AWAY underwhelming. Much respect from Portugal, and long live Canada.

As an American I am with Canada and Truedau told it as it is !!! trump is an idiot, a bully a moron and only in this for his personal gain !!!! selfish B@$t@rd at the American and Canadian expense !!! !

You and your country are admirable! I am an American and I completely oppose what the Trump administration is doing with these tariffs. I will be buying Canadian and Mexican whenever possible, and have changed my European vacation plans to spend my vacation dollars in Canada this spring and in Mexico this fall.\n\nI am impressed with the alternative trade agreements Canada is developing. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant and do not understand the negative effects that tariffs and trade wars have. They will learn soon enough!

I am an American and I want to say stay strong to Canadians. I am really sorry that this happened due to a bunch of idiots who voted for Trump.

I will be buying Canadian. And I am an American. But everyone knows the Orange Menace is NOT a smart guy. Just a petty little Putin wannabe.

Couldn't be more proud of being Canadian. As an American-born who holds dual citizenship, I am incredibly ashamed of being associated with the USA in any capacity nowadays. Trudeau should go a step further and label Trump the soft fascist authoritarian he seeks to become.

As an American, I don’t support Trump and am embarrassed and ashamed these tariffs are happening. Not all Americans support Trump. Canada is still a friend and ally to me. Trump is a terrible, ignorant person.

I did not vote for Trump. Nor did my family and friends. I am deeply ashamed to be an American right now. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am so sorry for all that is happening.

The world witnessed the embodiment of evil in the Oval Office. \n\nIn Prime Minister Trudeau the world witnessed exemplary leadership and integrity. \n\nAs an American it pains me to say that I am ashamed of our nation’s leaders.

Trump's a tiny little narcissistic puppet of Russia. Canada has class, and they will not let him be a petulant bully. As an American, I am embarrassed by Trump's treatment of our allies, and I support Canada. Sorry, Canada. Trump's an idiot.

I am an embarassed American and I support Trudeau !!! Stay strong against Trump !!

As an American I am so scared. I didn’t vote for this. I am ashamed of everyone who did. I am already facing a layoff as a federal worker and now prepared for a recession. I am SO SCARED

As an American, I am in despair over the criminal actions of the Trump and his cronies. I wish Canada the very best in the future. I will always consider Canada and Canadians my friends. Bravo to you, Prime Minister Trudeau.

Dear Canadians, As an American, I am so ashamed of our administration. They are an administration of liers, grifters and sycophants who have undermined our democracy. They are destroying our country and in the process undermining Democracies around the world. You have been our closest ally for 200 years and I am happy to have lived in Detroit and spent so many trips to your wonderful country. Please hold on until we can get to our midterm 2026 elections and remove the sycophants that have allowed this criminal enterprise to infect us.

As an American and Veteran I am just sickened by what this dictator trump is doing. You do what you need to do Canada because there is no reasoning with that moron in chief! I will always support you Canada ??

VERY WELL SAID, PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU!!!!!!! As an American, I AM PROUD OF YOU AND THE CANADIAN PEOPLE!!! You had to do what you needed to do for your people.

As an American, I am disgusted by our leaders and government. I wish I could move to Canada where there people are treated better. I did not vote for this. It sucks that gas is going to go up and I commute to work. And groceries going up too it's a shame. America supposed to be the better country but it's not. I stand with Canada and Ukraine❤❤

I am absolutely embarrassed to be an American. On behalf of the millions of Americans who were mentally weak enough to vote for this steaming pile of a presidential administration, I want to sincerely apologize to the countries in the world who are dedicated to promoting democracy, and decency, and opposing 12-year-old childish bullying, tyranny, and dishonesty. To my fellow Americans who were stupid enough to be dupped by this cesspool sitting in power in the white house, STOP BEING IDIOTS AND PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES before we become a dictatorship with a puppet ruler lead by another dictator!!!!!!!

I am embarrassed to be an American, and I can completely understand why the world hates us.

I am an American and I don't want this and I didn't vote for the orange stain. I support your efforts because this is CRAZY!

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

ugh as an American I am disgusted by how the orange blob and his cronies are ruining this country...

I am an American and I did NOT vote for that orange blob and these really dumbass tariffs. I voted for the smart, black woman!!! I do NOT want to hear ANYONE who voted for that orange dunce complain about the high prices!!

I am an American who represents a Canadian product line and stand with Canada and their people.

GOOD JOB CANADA!!! ❤❤❤Do NOT let our POTATO bully you. As an ACTUAL American,and a Minnesotan, I have to apologize. This thing is not how many of us think or feel. I am so sorry for the evilness of this puke.

As an American I am disgusted and ashamed. This is not the end of the madness coming out of Trump's small, unpatriotic, destructive mind. Prime Minister Trudeau and President Zelensky did not roll over and let Trump bully them. Trump should look at these men as leaders, and stop playing with Putin's peter. Trump and Vance should resign immediately.

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau. As an American I am going to Carson City, Nevada today to protest and I WILL protest until this comes to an end one way or the other. I also will NOT be buying anything unless it is a necessity. This is what I will be doing to help. Please press like if you will be joining me. ??????

I am an American citizen. I did not vote for Trump. I would never vote for somebody like Trump and I’m sorry for what he’s doing to Canada but you do what you have to do we’ll survive, but somebody has to put Trump in his place.

as an american i am disgusted of our nation and its leaders. we are now the bad guys.

I am an american and I stand with canada

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

As an American, I am very sorry for this to Canada and Mexico. I didn't vote for this clown, I didn't vote for stupidity. This is really, really unnecessary and it's all about the f'ing rich. Our so called President is an idiot bafoon.

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT.

What is going to happen with NORAD? I am Canadian and I would have never expected such nonsense coming from an American president! I truly believe that Trump wants a third world war because he thinks it would help his country’s economy. He is definitely the worst president of the USA ever!

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

American here. I am ashamed. I hate that we leave good people behind, crap all over every country and our relationships. It’s embarrassing. I support Trump for the border but that’s all I have agreed with. Say goodbye to the USD as the world trade currency. Get ready for isolation guys we are pissing everyone away down stream. To the EU protect Ukraine it’s the majority of our fault and I am sorry but don’t let these clowns win. EU needs an army, 30% maybe 40 of every European country. I would even say 50. Good luck and again sorry we are dumbasses.

Never been less proud to be an American. Hopefully we have hit rock bottom, but I am pretty sure Trump and cronies are not done raping and pillaging the country.

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

Thank god my state won out blue, even if just barely. I would feel so embarrassed living in a red state. Wait nevermind I still am ashamed to be an American for the first time in my entire life, even though I didn't vote for him. Glory to Canada and Slava Ukraini, can't believe I have to remind people of this

I am an American and I stand with Canada. I'm ashamed of the current American government/regime. Never voted for Trump.

I am an American and I stand with Camada, Mexico, and Ukraine ?? ?? ??

What a speech! How do we get someone intelligent like this in office instead of a blathering orange idiot? My heart goes out for Ukraine and all the countries caught up in this mess. For the first time, I can say with absolute certainty that I am embarrassed to be an American

I am an American. I did not vote for Trump. He is a narcissistic bully and has alienated us from our allies while he kisses Putin’s a**. Please know not all Americans support this.

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.

I am an American who envies Canadians, Ukrainians and other Europeans for having true leadership. ?
