Canada’s Leader Warns of ‘Rupture’ in World Order

Great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. Every day we are reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer what they must. Let me be direct: We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. Our commitment to NATO’s Article V is unwavering. Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland and calls for focused talks to achieve our shared objectives of security and prosperity in the Arctic. The middle powers must act together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. Great powers can afford for now to go it alone.
