They still agree with usa foreign policies towards non western countries

[–] jamesbuckley@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think this is true. Trump has changed foreign policies towards non western countries substantially and I don't think Europe has followed suite. For example: Africa: America has abandoned it's soft power by withdrawing much of its aid. Gaza: Trump has backed Netanyahu all the way and is just as guilty. Iran: Trump seems to be nurturing conflict after abandoning the Obama deal in his first term. China: Trump has been critical of European and Canadian trade agreements. Russia: America's policy is anyone's guess.

The major European countries and Canada welcomed Trump surrender plan in Gaza which is very similar to the surrender plan offered for Ukraine . They lied about stop sending weapons to Israel . Canada allowed IDF criminals to talk in university and the selling of occupied land in Synagogues. They welcomed Israel attacks on Iran but blamed Iran instead. They was vocal when Russia attacked nuclear facilities in Ukraine but was fine when Israel did the same to Iran.

The trade agreements with China is to serve their own perspective interests so it doesn't contradict my statement since I was talking about foreign policies regarding the west
