Well, howdy there, Internet people, it spell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump versus the World, new trade block edition.

As Trump leads the U.S. into decline on the international stage, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said he'd be willing to broker a bridge

between the European Union and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific

Partnership. That's known as the CPPPP. But because that's a mouthful, for this video, I'm just calling it the Pacific, because that's the region it represents.

Australia and New Zealand. Australia being mentioned is kind of a big deal. While it rarely

They didn't agree to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Honestly, that should have been assigned to the rest of us.

Canada's international trade minister wrote about this development, saying, quote,
