Finally. I'm sick of all the politicians acting like you can negotiate with someone who changes their opinion every other day.

They should freeze this orange pedophile out of negotiations.

    Why don't BRICS, especially China and EU just team up and form their own trade group away from the USA?

    It's not really even that. The US is built on the idea of theft so most of their resources are stolen from other countries oil for example and the African Americans who build most of the country and who are still treated like slaves even in today! Russia and usa if become one country no one us or russian citizens would see any differences their societies work exactly the same different in name only.

    I think the rest of the world is coming to that conclusion as well. How can you negotiate with a random number generator that carries no meaning and is not reliable?

    Wow, someone that is actually acting like a world leader instead of just bending over in advance and making a fool out of themselves.

    Watching people like Keir Starmer around Trump is painful and I hope he loses sleep over how much of an embarrassment he is. And if I remember correctly, Starmer literally bent over for him at the G7 summit. Or when Starmer was talking during Trump's visit last week and Trump literally said "enough" while he was talking and Starmer just shut up.

    Edit: I was wrong about the second one. Apparently it was back in February and in context it was actually addressed towards the reporter that asked a question and not Starmer. See? Propaganda works both ways. :)

    This guy has more balls than an entire continent. Lots of countries should learn from him and how you handle the orange.

    Finally, a sane fuckin approach to the tarriff madness. But it's probably due to them exporting to the US a lot less than what they're importing.

    On another note, I really hate that trump's buffoonery is helping brics. They used to be just a bunch of greedy autocrats but now this asshole is giving them common ground to stand on.

    Leaders of the world take note. This is how you deal with a narcissistic bully.

    Actually I'm not so sure, and by that I really do mean I'm not sure.

    Lula's position might prove to be the right move, but it's not the safe play.

    Other world leaders and business leaders have shown that Trump is very easy to manipulate with gifts. When you get invited to the White house, bring a gift. It doesn't need to be a plane. I think the English gave him an invite to an audience with the king.
