That is the essence, so the cigar goes to you. In particular, the graph is about trade relations: Good, under tension, active conflict.
So the Euroweasels and Canada get along, and so do China and Iran, both unsurprisingly, but probably not for the same reason.
Saudi Arabia has shut out Canada from most of their trade because Canada DARED say maybe could they maybe, please, not stone their women, spank and behead critics of the government or force girls back into the burning school house they just fled from because females in the streets without a guardian is an abomination unto God. You know, the kind of sissy stuff those overfine Canaweasels would say whenever they meet real men.
The FGCOATITEW is chummy with Saudi Arabia, and with no-one else (you're the greatest, absolutely, ever, Mr. President; you too, Your Majesty) has tensions simmering with almost everyone else, and is in active conflict with countries representing about 25 % of the ROW's population throwing around tariffs and sanctions. Very stable genius indeed (The red line between Europe and Russia is the sanctions for the Ukraine annexion).
On to you, International Man of mystery.
