American here.......this stupid, unnecessary trade war that Trump started is beyond embarrassing. My sincerest apologies to Canada and the rest of the world. I didn't vote for Trump, but hey, *somebody* has to apologize.

Go Canada. Give it to Trump.

As an American, I want to apologize for a man I didn’t vote for but is bringing your people harm, hate and I am proud of you Canada and your people.

What tariffs does Canada put on U.S. goods? Canada's retaliatory measures include a 25% reciprocal tariff that will be imposed on C$155bn (US$107bn; £84bn) of American goods: A tariff on C$30bn worth of goods will become effective immediately.2 hours ago

Don't care . Canada is woke . We don't want you or need you .

You should have done all the changes long before Donald told you. It’s like you reacting when the shit hits the fan. We don’t need you Canada ?.

We’re definitely gonna take a hit in upstate New York. Canada provides us with most of our electricity. And people to blame are Trump and his cronies.

Canada should have stepped up and taken care of drugs without trump's stimulation ? weird

trump is talking about migrants from Canada, I think Trudeau will be more worried about migrants from America

i thought canada ousted this fool

The amount of fentanyl coming into Canada from the US is 1000 times the amount coming into the US from Canada. When will Americans wake up to this insanity?

Between Friday's disaster with Zelensky and today's imposition of tariffs on Canada, the evidence is clear. Trump's America has joined Russia in an alliance intended to demolish the world's democracies.

Respect to Canada!!!

As a humiliated American, I stand with Canada.

Yes Canada!!!!!!! Stand up against evil!!!!

Trump is an idiot. American here and I support Canada ??. Trump does not speak for all Americans

I L❤ve Canada ?? and Canadians are reasonable intelligent people across the board. Thank you Canada ?? for standing up to Fascism all over the world ?

I fucking love you, Canada. So refreshing to see a well-spoken and rational president on that side of the Atlantic Ocean.

I hope Canadians know that only 77 million people voted for Trump in a country of 335 million people!! That means 76% of us DO NOT support his madness!! Apologies to Canada & ALL of our allies!! Trump is a RUSSIAN asset & asshat!!!! We have been infiltrated.

AMERICA, CANADA and MEXICO NEED TO UNITE. He sold us out to RUSSIA!!

I hope of you Americans that stand with Canada voted for Kamala....i'll wait, As the popular and Electoral college would suggest otherwise.

Full support for people of Canada and Present Trudeau❤❤❤ Shame on trump and his puppets!!!

I hope Trump's gameplan isn't weakening Canada to aid an invasion.\n\nI think, for now, Trudeau needs to stay

Americans stand with Canada, not bullies ? ??

PM Trudeau is a real Leader! Stay strong Canada! All the best for you and your great and awesome Nation!

Wow! Sweden here. I stand by Canada. This is how a true leader speaks. What Trump is doing is irrational and he still don’t seem to understand how tariffs works. He’s hurting his own people with yet another effort to break down all alliances around the world. He threatens Europe, Palestine, Greenland, Mexico and many more. He cuts funding for Ukraine and aline with Russia. He managed in a month to crash so many lives in his own country and do not keep promises from his campaigns. How can one man destroy so much….

Should Canada also be blamed for the rampant homelessness and mental health issues in Amerika?

Aussie here. We are so sickened watching what’s going on in the US. It’s terrifying how fast Trump has turned against his allies. Canada, we Aussies love you and support you! Thank you for standing strong. To our American friends, keep fighting, keep protesting!

Now this is what an intelligent president look and sound like. Mr. Trudeau may I please be granted residency in Canada until this mess is over? Please and thank you.

Guaranteed there is more drugs, guns and illegal migrants crossing the US/Canada border going northwards into Canada, than going southwards into USA.

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Idiot calling Putin a murderer....you really want to be a Russian enemy ?\nYou failed Canada, and you are immature to take care of a county.

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

We don’t want it either! We all admire Canada—thank YOU for standing up to that bloated orange sad excuse of a “president” we have.

I hope Canada abide by climate initiatives that Biden put into place the most important thing right now for our planet is climate change and avoiding nuclear war and if Donald Trump doesn’t wake up or die, we’re gonna lose our planet!

Ukraine, Europe, Mexico , Canada and the lists of enemies now rising .... Hmmn, Americans the Bible is now playing out. \n\nThe Scarlet (Red) Party would soon sink you if you don't wake up.\n\nTariff war is a pretext, DT wants Canada and Mexico.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

So Canada is allowed to secure their border and be proud of that but when trump does it these same people come out and call on him not to be racist and care for his neighbour? Everything this man says is a lie

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

Farewell Canada! The future is with BRICS+ and BRI Peace & Prosperity for All ?

CANADA has tariff United States for decades. Only when we do it back to them do they write. Sit down governor.

Well done Canada I'm sure Americans are very ashamed of our disgusting President. Please forgive this evil man and know we are on your side. Our best to your people.

Canada saved over 400 Americans from the Irans regime .. 34 planes laned during 911 in Newfoundland.. fought in Iraq together .. Donald is a weak man desperately pretending to be strong, a small-minded person acting as if he's important. He's devoid of morals but pretends to be righteous. He's the aggressor always playing the victim. Deep down, he’s just a coward.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Trump wants to weaken all the countries which are against the russian invasion of Ukraine. Enough said, the guy is a traitor. Stay strong Canada ✊??????

China...okay...sure i get it, Mexico, hmmm....., Canada...WTF are we doing!? o.O

Good job Canada!

I understand Canada's diplomacy, BUT Donald is NOT smart.

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

Love his speech, but tbh facts don't bother a Trump.. idiots are not open to arguments and facts its just about feelings\n\nNgl, if the US don't want Canadas resources, here in Europe we would like to buy it ?
