Prime Minister Mark Carney declared at Davos that the U.S.-led international order is over. In a speech强调 middle powers must adapt, he warned that economic integration is now used as a weapon by great powers.

Carney outlined Canada’s response: doubling defence spending, signing 12 trade deals across four continents, and cutting a deal with China. He emphasized reducing reliance on the U.S. and building strategic autonomy in energy, food, and finance.

Calling for a ‘third path,’ Carney urged middle powers to cooperate rather than compete for favor with hegemons. His message was clear: multilateralism must evolve, and countries must protect their sovereignty through collective strength and principled pragmatism.
