Why has no European leader said this as clearly and courageously as Canada's Mark Carney? Why is Friedrich Merz the only one who's even come close? Are politicians only capable of tough talk when there's an election?

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

🇨🇵we have 25-35% european Maga spécies as crazy as american and some close to the governements; they are supported by both Trumpist and Putinist so EU does'n apply the laws voted on Digital Act, Green deal..afraid of street demonstrations but very busy with unique EU driving license

Trump needs to be isolated from international politics. The Canadians didn't elect him, the Greenlanders didn't elect him, the Panamanians didn't elect him. I'm from Slovenia and I can't understand how anyone in the US voted for him.

As Tony Benn said, some politicians are signposts; some are weathercocks. Weathercocks simply reflect back to the electorate whatever they think it wants to hear. Leadership requires principles, originality & courage they don't possess. They don't like change because they don't like to take chances
