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.

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.

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.”

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.

Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a frank assessment of how he views the world in a provocative speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, where he said the longstanding U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over and middle powers like Canada must pivot to avoid falling prey to further "coercion" from powerful actors.
