World leaders are absolutely furious at Donald Trump and his regime, and we have seen a flurry of activity among world leaders forming their alliances to counteract Donald Trump's threats, threats to invade the Western hemisphere, threats to attack Europe, threats against the world let's take a look at what's going down you had france's president emmanuel macron giving a very important speech the other day where he said it's time for new partnerships it's time for new alliances The international order is now changing. And he says this idea that might is right means that what happens if Donald Trump invades Greenland, if Canada becomes the 51st state, if Taiwan gets invaded by China, Europe needs to be prepared for these things to happen as they may be imminent.

How is Emmanuel Macron's speech influencing global alliances?

Ben Meiselas 1:52
Here's what French President Emmanuel Macron has to say. Play this clip.
Emmanuel Macron 1:57
It is not enough to simply conclude in the face of this withdrawal that the end times are near. No, the time has come to come up with new partnerships, as is the case, as I said, for defense. And the next issue is international governance, which is a broad topic.
And it would be naive to say
Emmanuel Macron 2:25
that all is well when I have just told you how chaotic it is, that might is right seems to be raining and people are wondering if Greenland is about to be invaded or if Canada is about to become the 51st state or if Taiwan is under threat. Many of you discussed this with me. Actually, on the contrary, I think that times are right. to reform international governance. And perhaps it is the only opportunity to do so. And perhaps the right time has come. to get more involved with the United Nations, given that the number one member no longer believes in it, the second has less faith in it, and people are questioning all the values that we have defended on a daily basis.

Then you have the prime minister of Italy, Giorgia Maloney, and she says, let's talk about what deterrence means when it comes to Russia. She says the word deterrence comes from the Latin de via de teller, meaning to scare.

What are the implications of Trump's threats on international relations?

Ben Meiselas 3:49
You must be strong enough to scare your enemy to cease and desist from the possibility of attacking you. It is strength, it is scaring that needs to be asserted against people like Putin. And I think the implication was also against people like Donald Trump, because if you're not scaring them, they think that they can dominate you, especially as Donald Trump is saying that he is the predator and the Trump regime people are saying they are the predators of the world and they will invade, invade, invade. Meanwhile, you have Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada stating the following, canada and germany are working together to strengthen their euro atlantic security he said he spoke with the chancellor frederick mertz of germany earlier today to talk about the ongoing negotiations toward a just and lasting peace in ukraine deepening our trade cooperation and our support for sovereignty and the territorial integrity of denmark

including Greenland. Now, this follows Germany and France speaking two days ago with other European countries about developing potential war plans against the United States if the United States invades Greenland, which would trigger the obligation of the other nations in NATO to go to war against the United States. Such is the condition of the international disorder caused by Donald Trump. And for every action, there are opposite reactions and consequences. So, for example, Moscow and Beijing, they're actually applauding Trump's invasion of Venezuela. Now, sure, It may mean, well, they don't get their oil as cheap from Venezuela, but that Venezuela oil is not all that great to begin with. It costs a lot of money to refine.
Ben Meiselas 5:42
And so China, for example, is like, this actually gives us an opportunity to forge better relations with Canada.
