Meanwhile, some of America’s close allies are distancing themselves from Trump. Already in 2026, the prime ministers of Canada and the UK have visited Beijing, seeking a hedge against an unpredictable US.
From within the Western camp, the starkest obituary for the pre-Trump world has come from Canada’s Mark Carney, who called the rules-based order a useful “fiction” that no longer works. “We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition,” he said. “A world of fortresses will be poorer, more fragile and less sustainable.”
