The era of rules-based trade with the U.S. is "over," according to Canada's central bank governor, echoing words from the country's prime minister that President Donald Trump's impact on global trade is permanent. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/29/rules-trade-us-canada-central-bank/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #us #donaldtrump #republicans #trade #tariffs #republicans #elonmusk #canada #markcarney
When U.S. President Donald Trump took office a year ago, many saw trouble for China's sluggish economy, but Beijing has thawed frosty relationships with other trade partners to post a record trade surplus. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/asia-pacific/politics/trump-presidency-china-pivot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #politics #china #xijinping #uk #keirstarmer #markcarney #canada #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans
Mark Carney’s Davos speech warned that a Trump-led rupture in the global order leaves middle powers to act collectively and diversify away from U.S. dependence, with Japan uniquely exposed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/28/world/the-age-of-middle-powers/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #canada #markcarney #us #donaldtrump #davos #greenland #nato #davos #middlepowers
Canada won’t be derailed in its efforts to diversify trade away from the U.S. despite the latest threats from the Trump administration, Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/26/markets/canada-trade-pivot-energy-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #canada #india #trade #markcarney #us #donaldtrump #trade #tariffs #republicans

Kanadas Mark Carney hat die fuer mich bedeutendste Rede auf dem #Weltwirtschaftsforum in #Davos gehalten.
Der engste Verbuendete der #USA zeigt #Trump dass sie sich von dessen Einschuechterungsversuchen nicht unterkriegen lassen.
Die gesamte Rede (KI-uebersetzt) auf Deutsch, gibt es nun auf meiner #Peertube Instanz.
Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start ins Wochenende 🙏
@pallenberg Die Rede hat sogar schon einen eigenen WP-Artikel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Mark_Carney_speech_at_the_World_Economic_Forum

Canada's Mark Carney warns that a belligerent, unconstrained United States under Trump has shattered the rules-based world order, forcing middle powers like Japan and Canada to act together to defend multilateralism. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/23/world/carney-the-unlikely-hinge-of-world-in-transition/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #markcarney #canada #us #donaldtrump #worldeconomicforum #greenland #denmark #nato #china #xijinping #davos
Without U.S. leadership, the G7 is adrift. Japan and other middle powers should look to the OECD for direction. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/23/japan/after-davos-middle-powers-matter/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #markcarney #canada #g7 #worldeconomicforum #davos #switzerland #us #donaldtrump #shinzoabe #fumiokishida #china #brettonwoods #imf #worldbank #wto #oecd
China’s ancient strategy of fracturing coalitions through bilateral inducements is reappearing in its courtship of Canada, offering short-term relief while undermining collective resistance against a domineering Beijing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/22/world/carney-doctrine-and-beijings-embrace/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #canada #trade #xijinping #markcarney #canadachinarelations #canadausrelations

I think 🇨🇦 MP Mark Carney may be the first Western leader willing to look the monster straight in the eye.
If you want to move forward, you must first look back, understand where you came from, and where you no longer want to be.
And if you think that monster is the U.S., you’re mistaken: take off the Western lens and you’ll see what many outside the West already know…. the monster is us.

"Mark Carney’s speech at Davos yesterday really is worth your time. It made some of the front pages today but the news cycle moves so fast that it’s already yesterday’s news. Part of the challenge of this moment - and I believe the job of journalists - is to focus on the signal, not the noise. And if you have time to take in one thing properly, this week, I’d suggest it’s this."

You may have seen the coverage of Mark Carney's speech at Davos, but if you haven't watched it in full then I would recommend sitting down for 18 minutes and listening to his decryption of the contemporary 'Rupture'.
Carney provides a powerful analysis of the world: the first & last thirds are vital listening if you are interested in International Relations & their contemporary character.
