Furious world leaders who were allied with the United States, whether it was french president emmanuel macron prime minister kier starmer of the uk prime minister carney of canada the prime minister of spain you name it they are calling out the trump regime in no uncertain terms. Donald Trump is then mocking these other countries when we need them the most.
Let me share with you what is going on throughout the world. French President Emmanuel Macron said that the US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began over this weekend and killed the country's supreme leader were conducted, quote, outside of international law, and that France, quote, cannot approve them, and that France will not engage in any offensive measures at this time. with the United States.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom said, quote, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. This is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than them.
The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, signaled that Poland intends to eventually obtain its own nuclear weapons as Europe strengthens its deterrence amid doubts, big doubts, that the US will ever be there to help them again. Giorgia Maloney, the Italian prime minister, is saying it is clear to Italy and Europe that without restoring the rule of law that has been destroyed in Ukraine,
the chaos will only escalate. But specifically, we're seeing leaders throughout Europe, Canada, and elsewhere talking about how the chaos that is being demonstrated here comes from a breakdown of the rule of law and order throughout the world that Donald Trump has destroyed. The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, said the following about Iran.
Today, more than ever, it's essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime

Chapter 2: What recent global conflicts are linked to Trump's actions?
We'll just literally a quote from Donald Trump. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us what to do. I think we should cut off all trade with Spain. Isn't that right? And then Donald Trump asks all of his Epstein class advisers, if we should cut off any type of trade to Spain. That's what Donald Trump's doing. Let me just show you some clips of what these leaders said.
Let me show you Trump's response. Then I want to talk about what's going on elsewhere in the world. Here is what Prime Minister Carney said. You can hear it for yourself. Let's play it. We support efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.
Because Canada is taking the world as it is, not passively waiting for a world we wish to be. We do, however, take this position with regret because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order.
Despite decades of UN Security Council resolutions, the tireless work of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the succession of sanctions and diplomatic frameworks, Iran's nuclear threat remains. And now the United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada. So where to from here?
With a rapidly spreading conflict and growing threats to civilian life. Canada reaffirms that international law binds all belligerents. We condemn the strikes carried out by Iran on civilians and civilian infrastructure across the Middle East. And we implore all parties, including the United States and Israel, to respect the rules of international engagement.
Canada calls for a rapid de-escalation of hostilities and is prepared to assist in achieving this goal. And here is what Keir Starmer said, the prime minister of the UK. You could hear it for yourself right here. Exposing our military personnel to action that risks their lives, making sure that it is lawful before we ask them to do that. I think that is the duty of the prime ministers.
A previous Prime Minister has taken exactly the same approach. I will, of course, read the shadow attorney's advice, but I'm very clear in the advice that I received, and I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that. This was Donald Trump yesterday saying that he was not happy with the UK.
He said, this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with. That's how he's attacking the prime minister of the UK. Here's what he says. Here, play this clip. And I'm not, by the way, I'm not happy with the UK either.
that island that you read about the lease okay he made it for whatever reason he made a lease of the island somebody came and took it away from them and it's taken three four days for us to work out where we can land there would have been much more convenient landing there as opposed to flying many extra hours so we are very surprised this is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with

Chapter 3: How are world leaders reacting to Trump's Iran war?
But some of the European, like Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain, first of all, it started when every European nation, at my request, paid 5%, which they should be doing. And everybody was enthusiastic about it, Germany, everybody. And Spain didn't do it. And now Spain... actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right.
We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it, but we don't have to. But they were unfriendly. And so I told him we don't want to. Spain has absolutely nothing that we need other than great people. They have great people, but they don't have great leadership.
And as you know, they were the only country that in NATO would not agree to go up to 5%. I don't think they would've agreed to go up to anything. They wanted to keep it at 2%, and they don't pay the 2%. So we're gonna cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain. More from Donald Trump attacking the prime minister of Spain. Has the right to stop, sort of interesting.
I have the right to stop, but under that one law, I didn't have the right to charge him. So I have the right to license them, but I don't have the right to charge, which is frankly ridiculous. But the right was given to us by the Supreme Court. And we have the right, as an example, we talked about Spain. I could tomorrow stop, or today even better, stop everything having to do with Spain.
All business having to do with Spain. I have the right to stop it. Embargoes, do anything I want with it. And we may do that with Spain. What do you think? Well, sir, I think we're going to talk about it with you. I know that you have a strong power.
court clarified we know you can use it and if you need to use it to assure national economic security we'll do it scott do you have an opinion sir i i agree the supreme court reaffirmed your ability the to implement an embargo and as we've talked the from your first term the section 301s and the 232s have withheld more than 4 000 lawsuits and uh
USTR and Commerce are going to begin investigations and we'll move forward with those. And we've instituted a 15% tariff on everybody, as you know. And just used, I'll tell you, we had a couple of paragraphs written in that opinion that were really incredible. This time of year when it's cold and dark by dinnertime, all I want is something warm, comforting, and easy.

Look, now more than ever, the United States needs allies, right?
Last night, we learned that an Iranian drone struck a U.S. base in Bahrain. We see the video here capturing a loud explosion as it impacts inside a U.S. facility right there, another Shahi drone striking a US base right there. And we had all these images.
I did a video this morning right where I showed you the CIA headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia being hit by drones, the US consulate in Dubai being hit by drones, the United States air base in Qatar being hit by Iranian drones. And as I mentioned at the outset too,
war is spreading though throughout the entire world everyone is being impacted right now by donald trump's uh disastrous behavior and conduct did you know that the united states is in a war in ecuador right now did you know that the united states southern command posted the following on march 3rd ecuadorian this is what they just posted yesterday On March 3rd, Ecuadorian and U.S.
military forces launched operations against designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador. The operations are a powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism. So you know how the United States was... and has been shooting these fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean and also in the Pacific.

Chapter 5: How is the conflict affecting international relations?
And we've been reporting how a lot of these fishing boats are not narco terrorists. It's just the Trump regime like killing fishermen. And there's like a lot of evidence to suggest these are not narco terrorists.
And in any event, Donald Trump released one of the biggest narco terrorists, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was running a narco state out of Honduras, literally shipped massive amounts of cocaine and other drugs into the United States. was convicted in federal court in the United States. And Donald Trump, pardon that guy, isn't about narco-terrorism. So what's going on now in Ecuador?
Well, Donald Trump is very close with the president of Ecuador, a guy named Daniel Neboa. And Neboa hangs out at Mar-a-Lago. Neboa's family owns the Nobel
the Noboa Corporation, and there were allegations that his family's banana export business, the Noboa Trading Company, was used in some instances to smuggle cocaine, often hidden in banana containers bound for Europe, the Balkans, Croatia, and Italy. This was allegations. Let's be clear. The Boboa family denies it.
Investigative journalism from outlets like OCCRP organized crime and corruption reporting project in collaboration with others documented multiple large cocaine seizures worth millions in Noboa trading shipments between 2020 and 2022. Encrypted chats from alleged Balkan traffickers claimed exclusive rights to use those containers for smuggling. And again, the Boboa
The Boboa family denies all of this. But in any event, Trump and Boboa are launching these missions on the ground. We have boots on the ground in Ecuador right now. I just want you to know that. And there is chaos everywhere in the world right now. I mean, we go from the Middle East to Ecuador. Why don't we take you to Japan?
Major Japanese shipping companies have stopped their ships from transiting through the Strait of Hormuz following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran. There are concerns that long-term disruptions will really harm Japan's oil supply. It's impacting other Asian countries as well. South Korea being severely impacted.
You can see on this chart right here how East Asia is particularly highly exposed to the disruption of oil exports in the Strait of Hormuz. You can see the picture right here. The Japanese government has stated that they have 254 days of oil reserves left.
on an emergency basis and if the straight of as jeffrey hall explains if the straight of her muses closed for an extended period due to the ongoing war it could be a very serious problem for japan's economy that's why we saw japan's main index crash south korea stock market crashing as well um and I mean, South Korea's main market dropped like 12% yesterday.
