Trump:
"NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."
Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Drives me crazy. Yes, both of these are true:
1) Maduro was a dictator and cruel madman. Venezuela is better off without him.
2) Trump is a dictator and a cruel madman. He should not have broken international law by kidnapping Maduro.
BOTH are true.

Last month I raised an urgent issue in the House: key federal programs that protect wild salmon expire in March and weren’t in the budget. Communities and First Nations need certainty now. Wild salmon can’t wait. Ottawa must restore funding immediately.

"Stop invoking the “rules-based international order” as though it still functions as advertised. Call the system what it is: a period where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as a weapon of coercion."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu."

🚨🚨Check this out👇👇A French judge states that Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Le Pen’s trial for embezzlement. She says he’s done this to other judges around the world. What do you think he’s doing to judges in the US. This is madness‼️

NBC: Trump has privately intensified criticism of Canada, arguing it is too weak to defend its Arctic territory from Russia and China. He’s urging higher defense spending and deeper U.S.–Canada Arctic cooperation. Unlike Greenland, Trump is not seeking to acquire Canada or deploy U.S. troops there.
