Furious world leaders are doing what Donald Trump feared. As Donald Trump remains frozen, indecisive, weak and pathetic, and he says he's going to continue the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz but not take any other action, world leaders are like, enough of this. We are making bilateral deals with Iran and if Donald Trump continues to betray us the way he is, as Thailand has decided, we're going to make deals directly with American adversaries and we're going to no longer consider ourselves traditional long term allies of the United States. I mean, of course you're seeing In Canada the F35 review and a review of other American military weapon procurement. Of course in Europe, we're seeing the various countries there build up their militaries, move away from the United States. America first means America alone. And we're seeing strategies pay off. For example, Japan cutting a direct deal with Iran in order to move through the Strait of Hormuz and to bring crude oil to Japan. And apparently a Japanese aligned tanker, I believe it was Panamanian flag, was able to transit through the Strait of Hormuz and make it out. Did you see what happened yesterday? This is big news, folks. And again, it shows that Japan negotiating on a bilateral basis directly with Iran. And they're saying, you know, whatever, your blockade doesn't matter, Donald. We're doing what we got to do and I think that's what we're going to see more countries do. I mean, we heard French President Emmanuel Macron say he's going to be speaking directly with Pizzaski and the president of Iran. We're going to be seeing a lot more of this as Trump just does nothing in hopes like a miracle, it's all going to go away. So this Japanese linked supertanker carrying roughly 2 million barrels of Saudi crude oil transiting through the Strait of Hormuz outbound. Bloomberg's Javier Blas was the first to report the vessel is following Iran's newly designated shipping lanes. The move is being watched as a potential diplomatic signal drop site explains as it would represent Iran allowing passage of Gulf oil despite the US naval blockade on Iran's ports. As Javier Blas from Bloomberg writes, interesting movement in the Strait of Hormuz. A supertanker linked to Japan is entering the Strait of Hormuz on her way out of the Persian Gulf. It's called the Dimitsu Maru and it's following the Iranian new shipping lane that goes right by the Iranian coast so the Islamic Revolutionary Guard can control it. It was carrying over 2 million barrels of Saudi oil. And if you want to know, was this negotiated with Iran? All signals are it absol. Absolutely was because Iranian Foreign Minister Aragchi reposted this not so cryptic message from the Iran in Japan embassy account. You know how Iran has all of those embassy accounts that make those social media posts often trolling the Trump regime, Iran and Japan posted. The historic 1953 mission of the Nishu Maro owned by Demetu Kosan to transport Iranian oil to Japan stands as a testament to the long standing friendship between the two countries. The legacy continues to hold great significance. So by Talking about this 1953 mission at the same time the Edomitsu was making this trip, they're basically saying this is what you got to do. Negotiate with us directly, come up with a bilateral deal. The US under the Trump regime is worthless at this point and will cut bilateral deals. Just kick out the United States from all this. You don't need them and they are a barrier and a liability. Jeffrey J. Hall from Japan writes, the Iranian government has made it quite clear that the Idemitsu supertanker that passed through the Strait of Hormuz did so with their permission. The embassy shared a post celebrating how the Idemitsu ran a British blockade in 1953. And they're saying just like you ran the British blockade in 1953, here you are in 2026 running the US block. And so it seems like a bilateral negotiation there. I mentioned at the outset Thailand. As the Washington Post reports, the Trump regime had not offered any direct help to Thailand, a long standing US treaty ally as it struggles with wide ranging economic damage from the American Israeli war against Iran. Thailand's foreign minister told the Washington Post. And what Thailand announced is we're going to Russia and we're going to China for help right now. Screw you Trump regime. You screwed us over. We're suffering right now. We're going to. We're getting help now from Russia and China. See you later. The United States ties foreign minister or Thailand's foreign minister told the Washington Post. Thailand is approaching Russia and China for economic economic assistance after receiving no help from the United States, even though the country has been a US treaty ally since 1954. This war should end, never have taken place. Foreign minister of Thailand says Thailand is among the hardest hit Asian economies from the Strait of Hormuz closure. The country relies on gas for 66% of its electricity, with LNG liquefied natural gas accounting for 27% of its gas supply, 28% of which previously transited the strait. The cost of sourcing a spot LNG Cargo has surged an estimated 125% since the conflict began, with prices jumping from $11 to $23.5 per million Btu, compounded by a 5.3% depreciation of the Thai baht, according to the Institute for Energy Economic and Financial Analysis. So I can go country by country with all this. I mean, at the same time you have President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico and she's done her best to try to appease Donald Trump. And what did she get? Donald Trump running secret military oper in Mexico. Donald Trump putting CIA agents in Mexico, which was recently uncovered when two CIA agents who were working covertly with other Mexican officials and President Claudia Sheinbaum didn't know about this, apparently, you know, were killed during a drug related operation purportedly. And it was uncovered that there's like American military and CIA significant presence in Mexico and significant breach of Mexican sovereignty. And Sheinbaum, who previously was standing up to Donald Trump, she early on, remember in the beginning of the Trump regime, she pulled back and now she's under a lot of fire like, you can't let this maniac war criminal engage in this behavior. So she's under a lot of pressure right now and she's calling out the Trump regime's threats. Another notable event that took place. I mean, obviously we've been covering King Charles trip, King Charles speaking in front of a joint session of Congress, calling out the importance of NATO, calling out the importance of supporting Ukraine, calling out the importance of America speaking with moral clarity and clearly stating or implying that Donald Trump is wrecked the word and trust in the United States. I mean, King Charles didn't use those specific words, but it was obvious what he was referencing, right? At the same time King Charles was there. You all know by now that Sir Christian Turner, the UK Ambassador to the United States who replaced Peter Mandelson, who was removed because of his Epstein connections, he was on a hot mic back in February where he said the US Actually doesn't have a special relationship with anyone other than Israel, and we should stop talking about special relationships between the United States and the UK because that doesn't exist at all. And he also said that it's extraordinary that Trump and people in his regime have not had to have any accountability really in the United States for their affiliations with Epstein, when in the UK you had Peter Mandelson and all of these people who were held accountable, and they're still being held accountable. And Keir Starmer, we'll see what happens in August. But Keir Starmer may not be the Prime Minister by the end of the summer based on a lot of the pressure stemming from the Epstein files. And Trump's the leader of the Epstein class. And so in the uk, their ambassador to the United States is saying to himself, and he said to a bunch of students back in February, an audio from that was released right now, like, wow, what the hell is going on in the United States? So we know all about that.
