Trump Threatens EU With ‘Very Heavy Tariffs’

US President Donald Trump proposed imposing tariffs and trade restrictions on the EU if he deems that Brussels’ plan to make Canada an “associate member” of the political and economic bloc is harmful to US interests. “If they do that, if I think it’s at all a hostile act, I will put very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe on many things,” Trump stated on 16 September while speaking to reporters. “If Europe does that with a bad intention – if it’s a good intention, that’s fine – if it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe,” he added. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said she wants to “open the door” to Canada becoming the first “associate member” of the EU.

Protesters Unite Against Carney’s Investment Summit

A diverse group of critics voiced a wide-range of concerns this week as Prime Minister Mark Carney held Canada’s first-ever investment summit at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Toronto.  The summit, which was attended by Blackstone Inc.’s Jon Gray and BlackRock Inc.’s Larry Fink among dozens of other CEOs and institutional investors, was offering investment opportunities in 167 projects across energy, mining, marine infrastructure, power, digital technology manufacturing and transportation sectors across Canada. 

The Truth Behind Trump’s Trade War With Canada

Donald Trump has restarted his trade war with Canada, and it is likely that it will blow back on the US economy. This August, Washington and Ottawa participated in talks to negotiate a new trade deal, but Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that the US government made last-minute demands for control over Canada’s trade deals, critical minerals, and French language policies. “The US introduced at the last hours, in the last hours, efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals”, Carney explained in a press conference. “We’re the partner of choice in many respects for countries around the world and the Americans wanted to restrict that. They had language that what they wanted to restrict that. Unacceptable”.

The New Rules Of Carney’s Carve-Out Economy

It has been one year since Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced the Building Canada Act in Parliament. Since then, a succession of new laws has hollowed out legal protections for the environment, Indigenous rights, migration, and labour. The act itself establishes a fast-track approvals system for “projects of national interest” that authorizes ministers to override existing laws protecting the environment and Indigenous rights, including the duty to consult. A total of 19 government bills received royal assent during the spring sitting, while two other key pieces of legislation passed the House of Commons and will be taken up by the Senate this fall.

Canada Condemns USA, Declaring ‘New World Order’ In China

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has garnered a lot of attention for a speech he delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, in which he condemned Donald Trump’s threats and announced that Canada will “fundamentally shift our strategic posture” and “diversify” away from the United States. These remarks came just a few days after Carney took a high-profile trip to China, to try to mend relations. He was the first Canadian leader to visit since 2017. At a meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Carney said foreign relations must shift in a “new world order”.

What Mark Carney Gets Wrong About The End Of The ‘Rules-Based Order’

Speaking yesterday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that the so-called “rules-based international order” is over. He warned that middle powers face a world defined by coercion rather than cooperation, urged renewed commitment to territorial integrity and sovereignty, and called for greater unity among countries caught between resurgent great-power rivalry. Carney is right that the old order is not coming back. He is right that sovereignty matters, and that Canada and its partners cannot rely on geography or historic alliances to guarantee security or prosperity.

Mark Carney Warns ‘American Hegemony’ Is Destroying World Order

In an unusually candid speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that world order is at a “rupture” point due to the U.S.’s longstanding vise-grip on the world and its swiftly expanding authoritarian nature under President Donald Trump. Skewering “American hegemony,” Carney said that countries like Canada have long known that the idea of the international rules-based order was a “fiction” that states nonetheless signaled their support for in order to be granted access to crucial goods, trade, and other resources like finance.
