Mark Carney tells Davos the old world order is ‘not coming back’ as Trump heads to Switzerland

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Canadian politician Mark Carney stated that the existing US-led global order is experiencing a "rupture" characterized by great power competition and a weakening rules-based system. Speaking a day before Donald Trump's arrival, Carney argued that the world will not return to a pre-Trump status quo. He highlighted the benefits Canada derived from the previous order, including American hegemony, but noted the emergence of a system where powerful nations use economic integration for coercion. Carney urged middle powers like Canada to act collectively, warning that individual compliance will not ensure safety. Trump's arrival in Davos is expected to be contentious, particularly regarding his interest in acquiring Greenland, which has strained relations with European allies.
