At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, world leaders, including US allies, addressed concerns about the current global order. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described the situation as a "rupture" due to actions by US President Donald Trump, specifically his threats to take over Greenland and recent military actions in Venezuela. Trump's aggressive foreign policy and threats of tariffs have prompted European Union officials to criticize his approach. Carney urged middle powers to unite against coercion from aggressive superpowers, as traditional assumptions about the global order are no longer valid. He emphasized the need for strategic engagement and dismissed the idea of a global system built around American hegemony, highlighting the diminishing influence of multilateral institutions.
