Trump’s tariff retreat should lull nobody into dropping their guard. The EU must join forces with Canada, Japan and other like-minded countries

EU leaders would do well to meditate on the seminal lesson that the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, delivered at this year’s World Economic Forum.

In an incisive analysis of the new age of predatory great powers, where might is increasingly asserted as right, Carney not only accurately defined the coarsening of international relations as “a rupture, not a transition”. He also outlined how liberal democratic “middle powers” such as Canada – but also European countries – must build coalitions to counter coercion and defend as much as possible of the principles of territorial integrity, the rule of law, free trade, climate action and human rights. He spelled out a hedging strategy that Canada is already pursuing, diversifying its trade and supply chains and even opening its market to Chinese electric vehicles to counter Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian-made automobiles.

Trump’s board of peace includes Putin, Netanyahu and Tony Blair. What on earth will it do? Julian Borger reports

Donald Trump promised to bring peace to Gaza. And part of that promise was the creation of a board of peace. For months it was unclear who would be on it, but now we know: Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, alongside billionaire businessmen and Tony Blair.

Apart from how Putin and Netanyahu – who have been accused of war crimes – can bring peace, there are other questions. The charter of the board makes no mention of Gaza. And there is apparently a price tag – if you want to stay on the board for more than three years, you must pay $1bn.

Nato chief Mark Rutte says there is ‘a lot of work to be done’, as some Danish MPs voice concern at Greenland apparently being sidelined in US president’s talks

Donald Trump’s announcement of a “framework of a future deal” that would settle the issue of Greenland after weeks of escalating threats has been met with profound scepticism from people in the Arctic territory, even as financial markets rebounded and European leaders welcomed a reprieve from further tariffs.

Just hours after the president used his speech at the World Economic Forum to insist he wanted Greenland, “including right, title and ownership,” but backed away from his more bellicose threats of military intervention – Trump took to social media to announce “the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” and withdrew the threat of tariffs against eight European countries. He later called it “a concept of a deal” when he spoke to business network CNBC soon after Wall Street closed.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech heavily aimed at a domestic audience and focused on America's economy, but which also made crucial reference to the many geopolitical storms that involve America today, from Greenland and Gaza to Venezuela and Ukraine. He said America is owed legal title to Greenland, though said he would not take it by force. He referred to the Russian president as "Vladimir," the French president as "Emmanuel," the former president of the Swiss Confederation as "a woman," and the NATO secretary-general as "Mark," and fondly remembered the time Mark Rutte called him "Daddy." He called Greenland "Iceland" a few times. It all stood in contrast to the speech on Tuesday by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — whom Trump also called "Mark," but in a less conciliatory manner — which quoted both the Ancient Greek historian Thucydides ("the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must") and the modern corporate aphorism that "if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," and was over in about 15 minutes with a standing ovation. Trump's was well over an hour. The National Post annotates some of the key portions of Trump's speech. Read More
