Summary

World leaders are forming alliances excluding the U.S. under Trump, with pro-democracy summits in Barcelona and Turkey signaling a shift toward multilateralism without American involvement. Canada is distancing itself from U.S. military partnerships, canceling joint operations and reconsidering defense procurement, while a new poll shows over 60% of Canadians support joining the European Union. Speeches from leaders like Spain's Sanchez and Brazil's Lula frame the MAGA movement as part of a global authoritarian threat that fuels war, inequality, and social fracture.
