American Allies Want to Redraw the World’s Trade Map, Minus the U.S.
Trump provides us chaos, gee thanks!
Trade chaos is forcing America’s allies closer together, and further from the United States. And as that happens, the European Union is trying to position itself at the center of a new global trade map.
Facing growing chaos, the European Union and numerous other countries are seeking to forge a global trading nexus that is less vulnerable to American tariffs.

Trump Is Gutting Weather Science and Reducing Disaster Response
As a warming planet delivers more extreme weather, experts warn that the Trump administration is dismantling the government’s disaster capabilities.
From Science to Diversity, Trump Hits the Reverse Button on Decades of Change
"Trump is really pissed at Putin. His announcement tomorrow is going to be very aggressive," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
U.S., Ukrainian and European officials say that the weapons will shift the trajectory of the war and change Russian President Vladimir Putin's calculations regarding a ceasefire.
They had reason to believe the plan was likely to include long-range missiles that could reach targets deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow.
"Zelensky came like a normal human being, not crazy, and was dressed like a somebody that should be at NATO. He had a group of people with him that also seemed not crazy. So, they had a good conversation," a U.S. official said. Zelensky wore a suit at the summit for the first time since 2022.
My country has been a bully for a long time and has gotten away with it! Some national humility would be a very good thing right now, however painful this course of action might be for our citizens who really care about the fate of democracy and institutional order. It can’t be any worse than what we are experiencing within our country.
Maxwell could also use 'testa-lieing" to get a pardon from Epstein best buddy.
She can say anything she wants to Congress and what can they do to her? Oh, lying? She under a 20 yr sentence. You think a lie to Congress charge will rattle her?
Am I a cynic? Definitely.
As for Carney? I still wish he had not just written off those digital taxes. He can make it up by export tariffs on energy/more and greater tariffs on Targeted US goods. But first, he (and Ford?) need to get Alberta in line.
I'm reading Dean Blundell for one reason: to understand the news coming out of Canada and from its citizens. Could you please give a short explanation of what is happening in Alberta? I keep seeing vague references but no more.
If you haven’t already done so, I suggest you checkout YouTube’s 45 minute long video from a year ago on 60 Minutes Australia concerning the Epstein files. It answers a lot of questions we have about the constantly changing Epstein files story coming from DOJ. It doesn’t answer all the questions but it makes a lot of the foggy areas clearer. There a lot of old powerful white men in serious jeopardy over this right now and this gives some clarity as to why. I hope there are no windows for Ghislaine to fall out of…..
"Ghislaine Maxwell is reportedly ready to name names, and the Trump regime is pulling every lever to keep her from testifying before Congress. She’s been placed on “suicide watch” in prison—sound familiar? If you’re in a celebrity death pool, Maxwell’s a first-round draft pick." Really?! Why spill the beans NOW?
Doug Ford for the renege! How many times has he flip-flopped on anti-t***p measures? When is he gonna cut off the hydro? Has he uncancelled any American contracts lately?
Totally agree with everything Canada is doing. Do not agree to anything drumpf wants. He will lie and stage the rules a the drop of a hat. He is totally bonkers and can not be trusted. The rest of the world needs to move away from the United States until we can clean house of all the Project 2025 an d the insane PINO and cabinet and return to a place of decency. I live here in the USA and am rooting for the other side.
Fu-k the Trump's US, Canada supports Germany in supporting Our allies.
Germany will support Ukraine by funding the purchase of long-range Patriot missiles in an amount estimated in the triple-digit millions, states Christian Freuding, coordinator of the aid task force for Ukraine.
According to him, Germany has launched its own production of missiles for the Patriot systems, which will be independent of the US.
“We need weapons systems capable of penetrating deep into Russian territory and striking depots, command posts, airfiHe emphasized that the first deliveries of missiles are expected in 2026–2027. The general added that Germany is ready to provide such weapons systems.
elds, and aircraft,” Freuding emphasized.
“This will significantly strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and capabilities in the coming weeks and months,” the general added. Military aid to Ukraine in 2025 will exceed 50 billion euros, as decided during the NATO summit. The funds have been allocated to support satellite communications for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We don't need the US anymore; Trump is not a friend!

Excellent choice for today’s quote. I’m going to use it as a note for my restack of today’s brief newsletter
Maxwell should be "safe" because if something happens to her there will be massive "blowback" from everyone, including MAGA.
Don’t bet on it. MAGA is fickle and stupid.
Maxwell could also use 'testa-lieing" to get a pardon from Epstein best buddy.

Just read that drumpy is giving Putin another 50 days before he does anything… of course!
Good daily brief, Dean!

To lie and get a pardon. That's the Only reason for her to talk now.
I think she would have a very short "free" life.
It sounds like her time in prison may also be very short.
In more than one way.

DOUG - JUST DO IT!!
Ghislaine Maxwell won't be speaking to anyone. I fear she will join Epstein and disappear.
Totally agree with everything Canada is doing. Do not agree to anything drumpf wants. He will lie and stage the rules a the drop of a hat. He is totally bonkers and can not be trusted. The rest of the world needs to move away from the United States until we can clean house of all the Project 2025 an d the insane PINO and cabinet and return to a place of decency.

Was there a July 21st counter tariff from Canada to be retaliation for the 35% insult to sanity that fraud 47 proposes?
