Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47th President/ Musk Coup
As another example of Trump's strategies going pear-shaped through strengthening alliances elsewhere, I thought I had posted a link to an article on ABC (Oz) News about Australia selling some military tech to Canada instead of the US but I must have been side-tracked. The whole article is worth reading.
"With the United States continuing its campaign of tariffs on foreign nations, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was good for Australia to "diversify" its trade relationships.
"'[Mark Carney] certainly spoke to me about the over-the-horizon radar technology that Canada is interested in purchasing from Australia, it's important that we diversify our trade relationships,' Mr Albanese said.
"'It's important that we develop that diverse series of relationships and Canada is a very important one, we have so much in common.'"
