Trump’s “Liberation Day” may be the first step in America’s exit from its role as the world’s economic anchor and trusted trade ally. That’s according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who didn’t hold back in a press conference shortly after reciprocal tariffs on U.S. autos were announced.

“The system of global trade anchored on the United States … is over,” Carney said during the recent announcement. “The 80-year period when the United States embraced the mantle of global economic leadership … is over. While this is a tragedy, it is also the new reality.”

…

According to the BBC, world leaders, including EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen and Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, say the ongoing trade war will have “dire” consequences for millions of people across the world and undermine the global trading system.

The U.S. isn’t just the largest economy in the world, it’s also the largest consumer of goods and services.

The Australian opposition leader likened to Donald Trump for apeing his policies has lost his seat as the incumbent Labor government secures a landslide win.

Peter Dutton has suffered more than a 10 per cent swing against him to Labor rival Ali France, who has so far claimed nearly 59 per cent of the vote under Australia’s two-party preferred system, with election analysts projecting the conservative leader’s ousting.

King Donald’s coattails are toxic!

Mirror: Canada just humiliated Trump and exposed arrogant America’s decline

Canada’s rejection of Trump is far bigger than one man or one election. It marks a sobering turning point in the world’s relationship with the United States of America

Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed titan of global deal-making and nationalist bravado, just got humiliated by the very country he loves to insult – Canada.

With the election of Mark Carney as Prime Minister, the Canucks delivered a roaring rebuke not only to the US leader but to the hideous version of America he represents – arrogant, unstable, and dangerously delusional. Let’s be honest, this wasn’t just a Canadian election. It was a referendum on Trumpism and, by extension, the States.

Canadians, America’s closest and most loyal ally, have had enough. Enough of the trade wars. Enough of being branded the “51st state.” Enough of being treated like a doormat for Trump’s latest tantrum. What happened at the ballot box was less a Liberal Party recovery and more an international gut punch to a discredited figurehead.

Trump triggered this backlash himself. He kicked off a pointless trade war against Canada, wanting tariffs on steel, aluminium, and dairy with all the subtlety of a barroom brawl. He smeared a peaceful, democratic neighbour as weak and subordinate, then expected diplomatic loyalty in return. He misread Canada completely – mistaking kindness for submission and partnership for dependency.

Mediaite: ‘American Betrayal!’ New Canadian PM Mark Carney Torches Trump in Victory Speech After Election Win

“President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never — that will never, ever happen,” Carney declared Monday night in Ottawa, the same day Trump made a further jibe at the country joining the U.S.

“As I have been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country: never,” he said. “But these are not idle threats: President Trump is trying to break us, so America can own us. That will never, ever happen.”

He continued, condemning the Trump administration for what he called an “American betrayal” and warning Canadians that “the system of open global trade anchored by the United States is over.”

“We are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons,” he said, continuing to say that any “future economic and security relationship between two sovereign nations” will be overshadowed by the “full knowledge that we have many, many other options than the United States to build prosperity for all Canadians.”

Future talks with Trump, he said, would reflect Canada’s full sovereignty and a willingness to “build, baby, build” with other global partners.

Carney added that said Canadians will “need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations.”

Fox News: Trump Says U.S. Doesn’t Need Canada After All

So it was all just a bad dream?

Senility?

Dementia?

President Donald Trump appears to have had a change of heart about the United States taking over Canada, claiming that Americans “don’t need anything” from their northern neighbor.

Despite his repeated assertions that the sprawling, resource-rich country should become America’s 51st state, the president told reporters on Air Force One Sunday that the “golden age” is coming, sans Canada. “We have our own lumber and energy,” he said, referencing slated plans for levies on wood from north of the border. “We don’t need energy from Canada. We don’t need lumber from Canada. We don’t need anything from Canada. I believe this will be the golden age of America,” he added.

Last week, Trump spoke over the phone with the new Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney. Despite the ongoing trade war, the call was “very constructive,” Carney said. He added that Trump “respected Canada’s sovereignty” during the chat.

However, despite the apparent softening of hostilities, Trump launched the latest salvo in his trade war Wednesday, announcing a 25 percent tariff on auto imports beginning April 2.

“I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada.

The post on Truth Social caused Trump supporters to turn on and criticize the president on X.

“President Trump says the call with PM Carney happened. Note the language here, he’s no longer calling the Canadian PM Governor,” another wrote on X.

“Trump is funny cos he spoke with Trudeau without respect and he is like Polite with Carney, even called him Prime Minister. Huge win politically for Carne,” another wrote on X.

“Not the 51st state, any more? I can’t keep up. Carney is a shrewd man. Trump would be wise to remember that,” posted another on the social media site.

“Trump Speaks to PM Mark Carney of Canada Trump calls it an ‘extremely productive’ call No mention of ‘51st State & No Guv Carney’ ( It was only to tease Trudeau) Both will be meeting after elections,” another posted on X.

The call comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to bring in a new 25% tariff on finished vehicles imported into the United States next week.
