"World leaders, rattled by Donald Trump's latest gambit in Greenland, look to present a united front at the World Economic Forum. As world leaders, including allies of the United States, gather in the Swiss resort city of Davos for the World Economic Forum (WEF), US President Donald Trump's attacks on the existing global world order have been on the top of their minds with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney saying the US-led global system is enduring a rupture."
"Carney said the world's middle powers must unite to resist coercion by aggressive superpowers, warning that traditional assumptions about global order no longer hold. If great powers abandon even the pretence of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate. So we're engaging broadly, strategically with open eyes, he said. We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
World leaders gathered in Davos amid mounting concern about US challenges to the existing global order. Threats over Greenland and the prospect of new US tariffs on European nations have roiled alliances and prompted strong pushback from European partners. Middle powers face a risk of being sidelined unless they coordinate collective action to resist coercion by aggressive superpowers. Multilateral institutions including the World Trade Organization and the United Nations are weakened, undermining rules-based governance. A US military operation that abducted Venezuela's president and moved him to the United States intensified global alarm. Calls emerged for strategic engagement with open eyes and active responses to current geopolitical realities.
