World leaders are absolutely furious at the Trump regime and they are striking back at Trump and the United States of America where it could hurt the most, the military. That's right, we're seeing fighter jets from places like Sweden and France be exported to new markets as other countries are less inclined to buy American military products as it becomes a less reliable provider. We're seeing Canada meet with Sweden over the past 48 hours, thinking about buying fighter jets from Saab. We're seeing Ukraine do a 10-year military deal with France for its Rafale fighter jets. as well as anti-drone and anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems, we are seeing a new world order shaping before our eyes. As Donald Trump was in the Oval Office with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, MBS, and it looked like Donald Trump had a crush

on MBS, it was bizarre. And Donald Trump was saying, what a great ally of ours. Don't you ever offend this guy. And as Donald Trump is basically giving F-35s and nuclear related technologies to Saudi Arabia as Trump's personal businesses benefit to the tune of potentially hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. The rest of the world and our former allies are seeing what's taking place and they see looks like the United States rather cozy up with the Saudis than with the European Union or with Canada or with Australia or with America's traditional allies. So let me just show you what went down in the past 24 to 48 hours. So on the one hand, you have Donald Trump meeting with MBS in the Oval Office.
Ben Meiselas 2:45
We've reported extensively on what a humiliating sight it was. Donald Trump was yelling at reporters and saying, don't you dare ask about the Saudis' involvement in killing journalist Khashoggi or 9-11. How dare you ask those questions? And you saw Donald Trump say, this is one of our best friends. This is who our real ally is. So you had that. And then on the other hand, we had images of the government of Sweden, business delegations from Sweden, the royal family from Sweden meeting in Canada as Canada is now continuing its evaluation of F-35 purchases and fighter jet purchases from the United States. I mean, Donald Trump has previously stated that he would potentially manipulate the fighter jet technology in order to control

the locations where he exports. So people are saying, why the hell would we wanna do business with the United States? And we've seen how Donald Trump tries to screw over allies and people like, we're just not gonna do business with them. So let me just, why don't we start off in Canada, shall we? And I'll show you what happened when the deputy prime minister of Sweden gave an interview with Canadian media. And she talked about how we in Sweden have to be very clear who our real friends are and who our friends aren't. And she basically says, Canada is a true friend. America isn't. You need to choose your friends wisely. This is the Swedish deputy prime minister. And this is powerful. Here, play this clip.

Well, we brought in the heavy artillery. We brought in the king and queen of Sweden. It doesn't get any better than that. But I would say that we, I mean, everyone knows these are truly turbulent and quite tough and challenging times.

Why are world leaders furious with Trump’s foreign‑policy decisions?

Unknown 4:36
And in those times, you need to choose your friends wisely. And Sweden is choosing Canada. And I think rightly so. And we're also seeing a very strategic work from Canada and not least from Prime Minister Carney himself in choosing his friends globally now very, very strategically. And I think Sweden is a great partner to Canada. We actually used to share the same bedrock. Did you know that before we were separated by the Atlantic? We used to be called Rodinia, which is also could be translated into family.
