Donald Trump Has Lit a Global Match

By Jordan Michael Smith 

By the time Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney left the stage at the World Economic Forum on January 20, observers understood his speech’s importance. In front of the elite audience at Davos, with which he is intimate as a former central banker for Canada and the United Kingdom, Carney said that "middle powers" such as Canada needed to cooperate to resist the weaponization of the global economy by the great powers. The rules-based international order, he admitted, had always been partially fictional, but now even the pretense of its existence was impossible. "The old order is not coming back," Carney said. "In a world of great-power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice: compete with each other for favor or to combine to create a third path with impact." Carney’s address was a rare one in Davos history to earn a standing ovation.
