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

“Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. …more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”
