Canada PM Mark Carney Warns of Rupture in Global Order, Urges Middle Powers to Unite

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that the US-led rules-based international order is undergoing a fundamental rupture rather than a gradual transition. He warned that great powers are increasingly weaponising trade, finance, and supply chains, undermining global stability. Carney urged middle powers to unite and build a new order based on shared values like human rights and sovereignty, emphasizing that nostalgia for the old system is not a strategy and compliance alone will not ensure safety.
