In my opinion it's clear that Trump does not care about global trade and is only trying to consolidate power by destroying the economy and the middle class. Canada is closer to realizing what's going on, but not quite yet, and France is really far away from realizing what's going on, but they will faster than the rest of Europe.

Canada's likely new Prime Minister Carney: "Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will"

France's Macron: "It was important for us to meet as quickly as possible after last night's announcement from President Trump, which are a shock to international trade, not just for the EU and France, but fundamentally for the proper functioning of global commerce. What's important is that we pause future investments, or these announced in recent weeks, until we've clarified things with the United States. What would be the message of having big European players investing billions of euros in the American economy at a time when they are hitting us? So we need collective solidarity." https://bsky.app/profile/rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social/post/3l...
