Europeans need to move fast if they are going to have a real impact on how Ukraine will turn out. If Canada and others want also want to join in then even better.

Whilst you can’t trust what Trump says, I find it hard to see the Ukrainians being able to offer a better deal than what Putin can (in his eyes). I imagine Putin’s ‘good’ offers would allow the US to leave the conflict quickly which Trump will see as ‘the greatest deal’ even if, in the long run, it only strengthens the Russian.

Hopefully Europe can figure out a credible strategy. They have the capacity, I’m just not certain politicians will have the balls

Oh interesting, didn’t know about that. So Trump can pretend he made a deal that was already done just by getting Canada to throw in ‘Fentanyl Czar’. What a deal maker /s

Hope Canada continues to avoid American products and diversifies who they supply their exports to

Good on ya and keep it up!

That’s fair, for him it’s a win but in reality it doesn’t actually fix a problem since there wasn’t one to begin with

Very true, it’s a symbiotic relationship (or was anyway, the bigger party has changed it’s mind)

As a Brit, I’d be sad they got to join but also quite proud of our daughter

Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.

We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible
