Quote:
Canada has joined France and Britain in announcing plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September as international pressure builds on Israel over the ongoing starvation crisis and war in Gaza.
The move leaves the United States increasingly isolated from some of its closest allies on the issue of Israel and how it has conducted its military campaign.
US President Donald Trump blasted Canada’s decision, threatening to derail ongoing trade talks with Ottawa.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement on Wednesday and said that Canada has “long been committed to a two-state solution” that would see an independent Palestinian state “living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.”
The move follows similar announcements by France, which has said it will recognize a Palestinian state in September, and the UK, which has said that it will too if Israel does not meet conditions that include agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza.

They're taking a play out of the Trump 1.0 playback, which makes it all the more interesting.
Why hasn't Donny done this or even threatened massive tariffs like he did with Brazil? Or the postion he's taking neither India over their support for Russia? Instead, he's now threatening Canada when they're simply doing what he's incapable of in the Gaza situation.
It's clear who wants the conflict to end. If Trump is to be taken seriously, he should apply the same pressure on Bibi
