Mr. Trudeau I am American and I am with you and not our president. I agree totally with you as matter fact you have any openings. I’ll move to Canada too.?

Never liked you Justin but I agree with you. From South African. We’ll done

I agree with everything he said except for Donald being a smart man. He's a selfie asshat!

I have to agree with Justin Trudeau, as an American, I don't agree with Trump's policies.

Well-spoken!! I agree!

As an American I agree with Canada. The only way to get our dictator childish president to stop is to fight back. Hit him in his wallet. Our president is shameful and an embarrassment. Destroying all our alliances and supporting Russian dictator is absolutely unacceptable

I agree. Here is a perplexing question which may shine some light into what is happening here. Why are we always hearing what comes from Canada into the US when more fentynal and illegal guns come into Canada from the US than the other way around? What are they doing for us?\nFentanyl going into the US was just an excuse.

Im sorry but i gotta say i do not agree with our government and president never have ever since 2016. Looks like i never will too since our people are so invested in teams and the propaganda spewed from both sides that actual issues get muddied.

I hate being stuck on the wrong side. Such an elegant leader Canada has. We Americans that don’t agree with our president are stuck with his embarrassing actions and his cabinet members that are very unqualified to be in their positions. Unbelievable. \nDump the Trump!

I agree with Trudeau. Trump's tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl and migrants! They are all about how Trump, Putin, and Musk are attempting to literally....CONTROL THE WORLD!

Hey americans I know you don´t agree with what is going on so go on the STREETS and PROTEST! Let them see and feel what you see and feel! C´mon I know you have it in you. Don´t let this orange, russian and the two fat asian tyrants win because thats whats going on. And if this keeps going on like its going on it will end that we will fight each other and why should we do that. For what?

Trump wants Trudeau gone, impo, and while I agree that he needs to be gone asap, this is NOT the way to go about it. Carney will come in and he’s even more of an extremist than Trudeau. This is only going to hurt the citizens of BOTH countries. Pierre is the only hope and he can’t get in fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

I think these words mean nothing, one shoudl look at actual data. There have been a tremendous imbalance between the US and most of the world. US produces so much, have so many resourcers but could not compete. Instead, they were forced to open operations in foreign countries, which does not benefit US taxpayers. You like it or not, US was on a downhill if other countries would not agree to make American products competitive.

Whether you agree with his politics or not, aTHIS IS HOW A TRUE LEADER deals with something that affects their country. He’s not screaming, crying, and throwing a tantrum while laying on the floor. Good for Canada! I say don’t cut off the power but put a 100% surcharge on it. Give the extra cash to your people to help with any negative financial issues they may face.

I agree Trump is being played by Putin!

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.

True Leadership!\nI am a United States citizen and I agree with and applaud everything you said today!\nOur President is a reckless and lawless individual.\nMay God bless both of our wonderful Nations!

As an American I agree with Canada. Trump is out of his mind hope we impeach him Fast. Pray for us.

We understand it's not your fault. As a us 16 year Army National Guard Veteran. I approve this message and agree 100% with. TRUMP WATCH ⌚️. Trump as turned against the American and our friends. We want you out of the White House. No one voted for this.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

I agree with him and I'm American

It’s despicable how the leadership of our country ?? is moving and what’s crazy is they think it’s a big flex. I also agree, this tariff war is novice at best. Canada doesn’t deserve this.

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

Let's say, you and I agree to refer business to one another. One year later you refer $100,000 worth of business to me, and I refer $100. Would you want to re-examine the current relationship, and make appropriate changes? Same principles apply here

I have to agree that Canadians are reasonable and polite and as an everyday American I wish I could stop trumps madness but I can’t. ?

I’m so sorry for my country. I am embarrassed and don’t agree with any of this.

Please don't think we the people agree with what's happening. I love Canada I've spent many wonderful times in Canada. I don't understand how this can be happening. Please don't blame us the people we don't want this either.❤❤❤❤

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

Normally i veiw this guy as a twat. I mean, i still do, but for once, i agree. Amercian take your government back. You work hard, you deserve to retire and live on the retirement funds you worked your whole life for. You deserve a health care that actually cares for you, you deserve a education system that does justice for your kids. You shouldn't fear sending your children to school, with bulletproof backs. Worried if they have light up shoes it'll give away their position in an emergency. \n\nImpeach that orange prick and take your government back.

But you didnt do any of that border security until trump came along. I dont agree with tariffs, but all countries are now pulling their socks up.

i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.

I always like Canada president, and i am from the US. I don't agree with Trump, but he has taken over our government, and no one seems to be doing anything about this!!

I detected NO LIES........... please don't say AMERICANS because all of us don't AGREE with the American dictator! So glad I BELIEVE IN GOD! everything this man said is CORRECT! GOD HELP US??

I agree with this on this. I don’t like him as PM but he spoke the truth here

We (Americans) don’t want this either. Musk and trump are illogically running rampant. We (a good portion of us) want them gone, this was clearly a mistake on us that voted (or didn’t vote). We know trump and musk are liars, ignorant, and corrupt. We as a people have to figure out how to get this nonsense out. And for the record no I’m not a liberal and no I’m not a conservative. I see the pros and cons of both sides and both sides have beliefs I agree with and some I don’t.

As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??

I don’t agree with the government. It’s sad that our president is on Russia side. That’s not good. I feel like moving to Canada myself.❤

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

As Canadian, I agree to retaliate the tariffs. Why, because The American leader cannot be trusted and even if we do what they expect they want more and more, same as PUTIN.

For one time ever I agree with Trudeau?

im american--I stand with Canada. Im so sorry this is happening---Please know we love Canada and agree with your actions.

Being the US's neighbor wasn't a choice. It's geography. For decades we worked together to create a safe and friendly border. Then a broken and rotted manchild fooled the ignorant into voting his toxicity into power and all that work stands to fall. I'm sure there are many Canadians that agree with me when I say, how I wish we could simply paddle our land over to the EU AWAY from the crumbling US, which will soon be welcoming the likes of putin and Kim Jong Un with open arms.

As a US citizen, who voted for Trump three times, i never thought id agree with Trudeau. \nThe US cannot win a trade war, the US versus the world. It's simple mathematics, and in the geopolitical realm, What Trump is doing is going to push countries away from US influence. \nI'm all for putting the US first, I'm all for cutting the federal government fat, and I'm all for making sure we the people come first, but I'm also smart enough to know that anytime the US has gone into isolationism, it's led to global conflict.

I agree on Biden being a bad President.. but this is a whole nother level.. straight the other way. How in the hell can the American people stand behind this behavior and that President?! This is horrible!! Most of the planet hates them already!! It's gonna cause wars, civil wars.. terror and many other things.. how can these blind people not see that?

I love my Canadian neighbors. ? I'm so very ashamed this Hitler has gotten put into power in the U.S. Thank you President Trudeau, I agree ?%.\nI support Ukraine I support Democracy I love my neighbors to the north and south. \n?????????

I don't agree with tariffs. But Justin is a socialist. He agrees with interventionism. So he's to blame for rising costs as well. They're both at fault. He's in favor of universal health care. That's socialism. Now they pay the cost by having a medical care shortage. An MRI will take you many months. A surgery can take a year. Ridiculous. State wide monopolies don't work.

I agree with our Canadian friends & neighbor.....100% doesn't make sense.....I say fight fight fight Canada......we would do the same thing if our borders were threatened by any means from anyone. The majority of Americans stand with you in solidarity.

So trump/america destroys it's friendship/trade with all it's allies to suck up to a Russian dictator?please make it make sense please!!!!also...never thought i would ever agree with anything Justin trudeau said but hey his definitely right on this one?

Hi Canada; Today I’m Embarrassed to say; I’m an American Citizen. I for One, Do Not Agree with trump. And I know there are many that feel the Same. trump is Like a Very Bad Virus; We Are All going to get Very Sick from it. But We Will Get Over this Virus. And We Will Get Better. ; Again!
