I am so sad to hear about that, peace please, don’t do the tariff war, don’t do that

We're witnessing the downfall of the USA. Sad to say, but all things considered, in the next 10-15 years USA will be just another large country

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

I am Canadian, and I know very well that the majority of Americans are reasonable and intelligent people. Unfortunately, your president and his team are not. It's sad.

Another sad and humiliating day for our country. RED HATS are RESPOSIBLE.

So unnecessary... Very sad this needs to happen.

Trudeau trunp has no allies... that is the damn sad truth for the American people, too. Sad day, & yet another day I'm embarrassed to be an American. I live in this state of shock, though I shouldn't be. He's a f'n moron. I hate this man who is supposed to be the president of the UNITED STATES. He's done nothing but cause chaos everywhere. Stick it to us Trudeau, I for one do not blame you at all. It's really pissing me off. He does not know what he's doing, nor do those around him. There is no winning with this loser.

This is sad for the world to witness. ?

Great speach, but so sad that it’s needed!? Best wishes from Sweden!

Sad day for America? Did you guys forget the sithole ur PM put you in? So easy to distract it's hilarious

I believe Americans must stop this fool. In my opinion he is desperately trying to destroy what took 80 years to make. He is trying to turn friends into enemies, he is trying to change America from democracy into dictatorship.\nThis is very sad. \nI hope Americans will not allow one imbecile and bunch of crazies to change your great country into land of unrest and division.\nYou must stop your president from dismantling your country.\nJust my opinion ?

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

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!!? ??????

This is yet another sad day for Americans.

I as a Canadian I'm concerned. But in reality I'm more sad for the Half of America who aren't on Trumps side. From what I've seen, it's almost the brink of civil war. \nWhen has Russia ever been a U.S ally??? Has history been forgotten already???

Very sad to watch a president use the incorrect means of communication to address our president. \nChoosing to pretend that you do not know the use of diplomacy is irresponsible and violent. Meet us with dignity, face to face and privately like you did with the willing in Europe. Shame on you, again !

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!!

Bully CANADA a friend and ally !!! We are not CHINA NOT RUSSIA , NORTH KORIA , IRAN ? SAD !

How truly sad and disgusted I am at Trump's attack on Canada, Mexico and all his allies. It is beyond comprehension that Trump is being allowed by the Congress and the Senate to trample on the Allies of the USA. I am in Australia and I feel the concern and the pain being suffered by Canadians, historically the like us, alllies of the USA, because of the treachery and betrayal by the USA, whilst supporting despots like Putin in its attacks on our democratic way of life. We are in dangerous times indeed. Where we end up only God knows. I know onr thing for sure God is not on the side of the USA in its treachery.

Everyday he sits in office he just keeps embarrassing the united states of America with this maddness never in history have our Beloved united states seen this Maddness it's just sad real sad the Downfall of the United states with this Maddness in the white house sad real sad ?

Maybe there will be a new wall between Canada and USA, which Canada will pay to make new regime in US great again, and finally US with this wall around them, will be a free again... Alone. Sad story.

You go Justin! Proud to be Canadian ! Soo sad for our American friends they dont deserve this but we have no choice ! We dont deserve it either! Their president decided it was right to install tariffs on us now we have to take it but with payback. We will not stay silent.

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❤

I’m sad my country has done this.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

Putin is not Trump's friend he will destroy America from within. Just sad...

Trump is ruining America and its allies……truly sad and then HE supports Putin who would in a second kill Trump and then brag about it.

I don’t think is good ideas to do this your allies country or friend in my own opinion period. That’s sad

the U.S is not a trustworthy ally anymore. The U.S has always had the best and smartest people in the world, but sadly U.S citizens chose to elect a dumb person as it's leader and now they all have to pay the price... really sad.

Speaking as an American. A REAL American who stands by our Constitution and the laws of our land and not with a TRAITOR. We do NOT want this. I have always been clueless to how Americans can hear what this traitor says and support it. It reminds me of the movie Shalow Hal. The woman was fat and unattractive but the guy saw this slim beautiful model. This is American right now. We have this Fat Traitor and some Americans see this STRONG Man who is going to make their lives wonderful by hurting all the black and brown people. Right out of the gate he’s telling them all he’s here to hurt and harm every American, but will still hurt and harm black and brown people the most. Many of them will be removed from earth in the largest earth removal since the mid 1930’s. This will end badly for him and all who supports him. The sad result will be the total destruction of our country and if you listened to him. He kept telling you that.

Sad day!

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.

I wish Trudeau was our president. He doesn't lie, cheat, or hurt HIS country. I am also sad that Trudeau will soon not be the Prime Minister of Canada.

I'm an American, this makes me sad?my anxiety ?

Sad most of us didn't choose this mf

What a Sad US Admin !! Impeach to Stick this Time !!

Well, Americans can hear first-hand that Canada has gone above and beyond to maintain a peaceful, productive alliance. This will hurt the working class people in all countries associated, but the working class Americans more than any other group. \n\nThis is a sad day in world history.

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.

Love this look and confidence from Justin Trudeau ! I am sad to see you leave your title of Prime minister. We could use alot of good speech like the ones you are giving us lately. Speeches that makes us proud to be Canadians . Love and support from Montreal xox.

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.

From the Netherlands I stand with Canada and Ukraine. And not the lying authoritarian Trump regime!\n\nI remember Trump saying America is no longer the laughing stock of the world... True now we can really only shake our heads at this point. It's gone beyond laughing stock. It's just sad now.

sad to say, we as Canadians are the enemy. trump is in bed with Russia. Yuck , I just got the trump and putin visual in my head.

The west can not trust the USA no more I am sad to say

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

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.

sad that he turned the head?

Just curious, currently (before Trump's Tariffs) how much TARIFFS does Canada pay for American goods and how much TARRIFS does America pay for Canadian goods? If Trump is increasing TARIFFS more than Canada, then that's sad.
