Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

    Our ideas of Liberalism and Conservatism are very right wing compared to Europe

    Sounds like you don’t follow contemporary EU politics too closely, even if you’ve spent time there in the past.

      The last time I set foot in Europe was in 2010, so it might as well have been a lifetime ago. the world as a whole of 2010 is completely alien compared to 2025

        The far right is a major power bloc over there now, and centrist parties have become openly anti-immigrant and nativist in response. Canada’s way ahead of Europe on tolerance at this point. Even in 2010 Merkel, for example, was plenty fiscally conservative, while Trudeau was elected later and expanded our own spending. There’s other nations that are more interventionist, but Canada wouldn’t be unusual. The far right is also anti-climate action, so we wouldn’t be worst in class on that, although probably below average.
