Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney said the old world order is "not coming back". Since entering Canadian politics in 2025, Mr Carney has repeatedly warned that the world was not going to return to a pre-Trump normal. He reaffirmed that message on Tuesday, in a speech that did not name Mr Trump but offered an analysis of the president’s impact on global affairs. “We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,” Mr Carney said. “Canada stands firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully supports their unique right to determine Greenland’s future,” Mr Carney said.
