Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Threatening to invade Canada: not hostile
Canadian cooperation with EU: hostile
This really parallels the situation with Russia not wanting Ukraine to join the EU. Are we the baddies? Sadly, effectively, yes the current US administration are the baddies.
Miss you, Canada. But you're better off.
Don't talk to us until you've dealt with your issues. Your empty words mean nothing.
Stop blowing smoke up our asses, get off the internet, and actually do something about these fascists...and then we might trust you again.
Stop apologizing and pretending like you're our friends. You proved you're not...twice.
I wasn't apologizing, nor is it my place to do so. I was just lamenting that no matter what happens it ain't going back to the way it was. That ship has sailed and the strait is now closed.
Yep, and y'all can fuck right off.
I think the EU has been threatened by far better people.
How long until he starts complaining about "NATO bases near US borders"?
Freedom from USA is a new fight in a world. I hope that in the end no country will be dependent on USA, ever!
💩 <= Trump has released a statement.
He releases statements while he's in the middle of incoherent rambling in front of a camera.
They need to offer it to Mexico too, just to really piss off Trump.
Then we can start referring to North America as "Western Europe". Just need someone to keep him distracted with a map and a sharpie
Especially because it'll divide the "patriots" from the white supremacists who want to be called "Western Europeans" for skin color and not European progressive policy.
Like, it's not hard to make a bunch of idiots start fighting each other.
Sheinbam has been a master at handling Trump, considering how fucked Mexico has always been by the USA.
"Mexico . . . so far from God, so close to the USA"
Hostile to whom? Both Canada and the EU seem to be mutually friendly.
It's the abusive partner "logic" - when the other person refuses to be a victim, they're "being hostile".
Oh for sure. It's the same logic applied when you beat your wife, so she leaves you for your neighbor. It's obviously the neighbor who ruined your marriage. Wife as well, because a part of you knew she would cheat, because leaving you is obviously cheating, and that justifies the violence.
Trump probably doesn’t let Natalie talk to any other men.
Hostile to Trump's pitifully fragile ego.
The bigliest of all the snowflakes ❄️
That crazy old dotard, trump, thinks the world has to go through him. That's what happens to your brain after being a degenerate pervert for so long.
Can be tough when an ex is doing better than you post break up
When you start being a b**** to everyone around you, eventually people start walking.
This rhetoric seems familiar somehow...
Yes, that is certainly a worry. But I have confidence that the EU and Canada have factored that possible reaction into their calculations and prepared accordingly.

Trump threatens when you're friendly and cooperative with him. He threatens when you walk away. At this point it's just background noise.

He likes to throw threats around because his dementia makes him believe that if he says something and looks "threatening" enough everyone will obey but... what he's failing to realise he is the American version of the Roman emperor Nero and soon after the empire fell and even though he is "in charge" of one of the most powerful countries in the world he doesn't really have the power he believes he has.
Trump wants to annex Canada. In his delusions he thought he could force it to happen by applying economic pressure despite everyone expect his inner circle of sycophants told him. Now that he's realizing that it's not going to happen he's throwing a tantrum.
People, just ignore Trump. There is a whole world to do business in/with.
The quoted 'hostile' in the headline seems like it should be part of what Trump said, but the article doesn't include any quote like that. This is all the Trump quotes it's got:
US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut trade with the EU or impose "very serious tariffs" after the bloc proposed to make Canada its first ever "associate member".
He called the prospect of Canada joining the EU “laughable” and called Canada a “terrible trade partner".
“If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe,” Trump said.
