Why are NATO leaders furious with Donald Trump and how are they isolating the U.S.?
World leaders and in particular NATO leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump, and they're taking action, forming joint defense packs with each other, making deals with each other, and cutting little old Donald Trump and the United States out of their deals because Donald Trump's threats to their sovereignty. One of the most obvious examples of this in the past 48 hours, Canada and EU entered into a joint defense pact and a broader economic relationship. Yep, they entered into an actual deal. So while Donald Trump is threatening the sovereignty of Canada and calling it the 51st state, the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, fluted. Europe a day before the NATO summit at the Hague Netherlands was set to take place, met with the leaders of the European Union, an EU Commission, and announced a major uh defense deal with the European Union.
And Prime Minister Kearney said, We will not be looking back. We are looking forward to new relationships with people who share our world views. In other words, Goodbye, Donald. Goodbye, United States of America. And one of the things that I've noticed already at this NATO summit is how small and weak Trump and the United States look. And it's an unfortunate thing for me to say this as an American, but it is just the reality. I mean, take a look at this photo right here of just Donald Trump. Look how uncomfortable he looks, how isolated he looks, just how bizarre. Bizarre and strange he looks when he's actually with world leaders, when he's in his safe space like Air Force One or Mar-a-Lago in the White House, and he can yell at reporters.
He sings a different tune. So before he flew uh to the NATO summit in the Hague, or while he was flying, uh, he spoke to reporters and they asked him, Are you committed to Article V of NATO? And Donald Trump says, well, I don't know. It depends on your definition. There's lots of definitions. No, Donald, there were not a lot of definitions of Article Five's mutual defense pact, which when it was invoked in the past, was done to help the United States after nine eleven. But here's what Donald Trump said. Play this clip. So commitment to Article five of
NATO. Uh depends on your definition. There's numerous definitions of Article five, you know that, right? But I'm committed to uh being their friends. You know, I've become friends with many of those leaders and I'm committed to helping them.
And it just seems that all Donald Trump wanted to do was talk about Vladimir Putin. Here's what he had to say. Putin called me, Putin called me. Here, play this clip. Yeah, I'd like to see a
deal with Russia. As you know, Vladimir called me up, he said, Can I help you with the rent? I said, No, I don't need help with the rent, I need help with you. And uh I hope we're gonna be getting
a deal done with Russia. And then Trump is asked if he will meet with Zelensky. And here's what he had to say play this clip. Do
you think you'll meet with Zelensky when you're there?
Yeah, probably I see.
Yeah. What what
would you
say to have to say how you doing? Uh
In a tough situation, should have never been there.
What is the new Canada‑EU security and defence partnership and why does it exclude the United States?
So now talking about this joint defense pact between Canada and the Europe and the European Union. Here's the headline: Canada signs defense pact with EU. The partnership will help both Ottawa and Brussels deliver NATO's new capability requirements. But let's dig deeper. I can I show you what the defense pact actually looks like. Not a fake deal, but a real deal. Here's the defense pact. You'll see it right here. Security and defense partnership between the European Union and Canada. Let's just take a look at the preface of it. Here, let's let's take a look. The European Union and Canada face a deteriorating security environment and must tackle common threats and challenges together. Trump. What do you think they're talking about here?
Our security is Interconnected and interdependent. It is not limited to traditional military and defense related issues, but is increasingly multidimensional, ranging from the rapidly evolving cyber, emerging tech and hybrid threats to maritime and outer space, including the protection of critical infrastructure and societal resilience and economic security.
