Chapter 1: What are world leaders saying about Trump’s actions?
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.
Chapter 2: 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
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

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Canada considering joining the EU?
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. and Iran, war forced a reckoning.
The uncomfortable realization that Israel appears to have more influence over Mr. Trump's decision than Gulf leaders do has reverberated throughout Gulf royal courts, analysts say. There was a big conference as well that took place in Turkey with Gulf states in the past week. 48 hours or so.
It was a multi-day conference where the theme that we heard over and over again, the US security umbrella no longer exists. The US has demonstrated how weak it is. The promises of the security guarantees was not delivered by the United States. There needs to be stronger Gulf cooperation.
And at this point, the Gulf states need to look elsewhere, not to say fully abandon the United States, but really start to look closer at China and other allies, Ukraine as well, signing 10-year deals with lots of Gulf states for security protection in the absence of a U.S. security umbrella. Even the best weapons, the most advanced in the history of mankind, humankind,
Under the control of Donald Trump, a weak and pathetic individual utterly collapses. So let me just share this with you because I think it's very powerful. It says to grasp the global collateral damage from the U.S. Israeli war with Iran. Consider the Persian Gulf nation of Qatar, a close U.S. ally and longtime mediator between Washington and Tehran. Qatar's government sought to avert the war.
When that failed, Qatari officials warned of the dangers of a prolonged conflict. Resource-rich Qatar nonetheless faced more than 700 Iranian missile and drone attacks. which have targeted Gulf countries that host American military bases. These attacks force Qatar to suspend natural gas production, which generates its vast wealth and normally accounts for a fifth of the global supply.
It was one of a number of disruptions by the war that sent economic shockwaves around the world. As it takes stock, the Qatari government will be forced to swallow a bitter pill, analysts say. Neither its strong ties with the United States nor its cordial relationship with Iran have spared it from pain.
The war has caused a state of, quote, strategic shock for Qatar and its Gulf neighbors, said Rashid al-Muhandi, the vice president of the Center for International Policy Research, a think tank in Qatar. There was an assumption that such a big move in the region, like starting a war with Iran, would at least happen in consultation with the Gulf, he said.

Chapter 4: How is the UAE's perception of U.S. military bases changing?
We thought we had a better working relationship with the United States, he said. At the same time, he added the level of Iranian aggression on our capital and our cities and on our infrastructure has been just crazy. So while many Gulf Arab countries have agreed,
historically had antagonistic relationships with Iran, Qatar, along with Saudi Arabia and the UAE have invested considerable capital in building warmer ties in recent years. And then separately that they thought that by buying Donald Trump a Boeing 747 jet and engaging in all of these quid pro quos was going to help them, but it did not.
Donald Trump did not even alert them when the war was going to take place. He and Netanyahu just went it alone. Now look, this is super important. If you used medicare.gov to get Medicare Advantage plan information, you may want to double check your plan.

Now, Professor Morandi of Iran, who travels with Iran's negotiating team, in connection with the very weak, if nonexistent, purported ceasefire. At this point, Professor Morandi issued the following warning on behalf of Iran to these Arab nations, to these Gulf states.
Leave the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait immediately. Iran will retaliate, destroying everything. These regimes are guilty partners in the genocidal Epstein coalition and won't be forgiven. The rising temperature in the Persian Gulf will soon make them uninhabitable.
And this follows Donald Trump announcing that the US Navy attacked and boarded an Iranian vessel in the Persian Gulf. This is, as the Trump regime continues, a naval blockade of the Persian Gulf. Trump's plan to open the Strait of Hormuz is to further close the Strait of Hormuz. And then Donald Trump is now, as you know from our other reporting,

Chapter 5: What does the UAE's economic strategy reveal about U.S. relations?
If you don't accept our terms, Iran, we're going to kill the negotiators and we're going to blow you up and send you back to the Stone Age, to which Iran said, those threats don't scare us. You've tried to do that before in the war. The reason we're here having negotiations in the first place
is because you set a arbitrary deadline where you said you would destroy the iranian civilization when the deadline arrived you panicked donald trump because you weren't going to meet the deadline so you begged pakistan to facilitate a ceasefire with iran by agreeing to their 10-point plan only to renege on the framework.
And now we're back in this situation where you just continue to keep on threatening Iran, that you're going to blow them up and destroy them in negotiations, which is not really a way to negotiate at all. Now, it should also be noted that Ukrainian President Zelensky announcing the security guarantees that Ukraine is now providing to these Middle East nations.
Zelensky wrote the following yesterday. We have already reached 10-year agreements with three key countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. We already have requests from 11 countries, the Middle East and the Gulf. Plus, we're also gradually turning our attention to the caucuses within the drone deal.
There will be at least 10 different agreements covering various categories of Ukrainian weapons exports. Co-production is planned. The construction of our production lines, both in Ukraine and in other countries, new technologies that we are developing jointly
with various countries in which they are investing there is also an agreement on annual funding for a specific amount along with a fixed number of years second the European track work has already begun with Germany Italy Norway Sweden and the Netherlands of course we have good relations with the United Kingdom and France I am confident that all of this will also be implemented there
And that's from an interview that he gave recently that he just gave. While that's taking place, you have the Trump regime continuing to extend the removal of sanctions on Russian oil. Remember the Trump regime said last week they were not going to extend the removal of sanctions from Russian oil. No way they said they would do that. But now they did that. Why?
Because Donald Trump, in my opinion, always sides with Putin. In my opinion, Trump is a Putin bootlicker. He's pathetic when it comes to Putin and so many other things, mostly everything. And that's what the Trump regime is doing right now. You know, we're seeing as well, European allies, allies in the Gulf states and others.
I mean, they see what a pathetic negotiating team Witkoff and Kushner are, and they see them just as proxies as Netanyahu also. And also, these are two individuals that don't know anything about international diplomacy. Witkoff, like a loser real estate guy. Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, loser guy who had to get bailed out by Qatar. in like his first real estate project with daddy's money.
