Donald Trump is playing a game that many people describe as dangerous for global stability, and some leaders are speaking out strongly.

Canadian Prime Minister Mary Carney’s keynote address at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos has sparked widespread international coverage as global news organizations weigh the future amid rising geopolitical tensions.

In a speech filled with references to the U.S., Carney encouraged fellow "middle powers" to band together against hegemons.

As President Trump continued his quest for Greenland, Prime Minister Mark Carney said great powers were unrestrained and urged medium-size countries to band together.

In his address to an audience of political figures, diplomats and business leaders, Mark Carney declared that the post-World War II 'rules-based international order' is no longer returning and described the present era as one defined by intensifying strategic competition among powerful nations.

Though the prime minister did not name President Donald Trump directly, he did call out “American hegemony in particular.” Carney said in the speech that for a time it was useful, allowing for a variety of mutually beneficial economic and security policies, but now “the bargain no longer works.”

The image may have been fake, but with each passing day Canada is coming to terms with the fact that the threat could be real.

Canada's prime minister said powerful countries are using economic weapons to pursue their interests, while affirming support for Greenland and Nato.
