What are world leaders saying about Trump’s actions?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Furious world leaders are blasting Donald Trump and they are not holding back in the Middle East. Former allies of the United States are saying that the military bases in their countries are a liability and they want to shut them down because What in the world is the United States even offering but getting them involved in wars when you go to Australia? Canada and Europe they're out there calling Donald Trump out for causing a rupture in the global world order and We're hearing Canada, Europe discussing, can Canada join the European Union? I mean, things that were never even thought possible are now being discussed, and 60% of Canadians support that idea.

How have former U.S. allies reacted to Trump's policies?

You know, in Qatar, you're hearing how they thought that their military bases, giving Donald Trump private jets, was going to help them but it's done the exact opposite i just want to break down for you point by point of what's going on across the world i think it's important that we have an international perspective of what's going on a very significant uae scholar by the name of abdulak abdullah it's very close to the royal family there says that the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a burden, not a strategic asset, and suggesting that they should be closed. The United States standing in the region has been utterly obliterated. Let me read for you what Abdullah had to say, and then separately, the United Arab Emirates

economic ministers and foreign ministers have been meeting with the United States and have been demanding protection in the form of currency swaps. And in the event that the United States is unwilling to help out the UAE, in an emergency they're saying why don't we just use yuan we'll just switch to chinese currency at this point because what the hell is the united states even doing i'll get to that in a moment but here's what abdullah writes this is what i told reuters today the uae no longer needs america to defend it as it has proven during the iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons America has.

Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases as they are a burden and not a strategic asset. Now, separately, you have UAE's foreign minister and economic ministers essentially saying the following to the Trump regime. You started this war. If we run short of US dollars as a result of it, either you will give us a US dollar swap lines or we will be forced to start transacting oil and gas in Chinese currency, in Yuan, and in other currencies. Say goodbye to the petrodollar. They have also argued that it was Donald Trump's decision to attack Iran that entangled their country in a destructive conflict whose effects may not be over some of the officials said emirati officials told the u.s officials that if uae runs short of dollars and may be forced to use chinese yuan or other currencies for oil sales and other transactions some of the officials said
Ben Meiselas 3:29
in that scenario is an implicit threat to the u.s dollar which reigns supreme among global currencies partially because of its near exclusive use in oil transactions so when we see this photo of treasury secretary scott besant meeting with the uae's minister of state for financial affairs muhammad bin hadi al-husseini to discuss quote the ongoing economic financial cooperation between the united states and the united arab emirates it's the uae saying they're about to abandon the dollar and adopt the yuan as more of their go-to currency if the u.s does not basically agree to bail them out so i just want you all to remember remember the currency swaps that were taking place with argentina 40 billion dollar bailouts for argentina

What is the significance of Canada considering joining the EU?

Ben Meiselas 4:22
Donald Trump's America first, which is America alone, means bail out everybody else while the American people suffer. You know, I also note the following, and this was, I think, a very significant article from The New York Times that came out yesterday. In Qatar, trapped between the U.S.
