The old deal is dead, and good riddance. Europe and Canada spent decades lecturing Washington while sheltering under American nukes, intelligence and economic favoritism. Now, having finally broken free from their parasitic behavior, leaders like Carney and Macron posture and seek to do America harm. Fortunately for America, Trump will not let these middle powers interfere with the national interest.
Carney and Macron have sent a clear message that French and Canadian sovereignty remains unquestionable. When a president slaps the U.S. flag on foreign territory and treats allies like strangers, America's international reputation falls even further, and Trump should not be surprised that his actions are only pushing countries to seek more reliable alternatives.
