Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada did not mention the United States or President Trump by name in a speech on at the World Economic Forum on Tuesday, but it was clear where he placed the blame for what he called a “rupture” in the world order, the New York Times reports.

Said Carney: “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 do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must.”

He added: “Let me be direct: We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.”

Greenlanders are “bewildered” by President Trump’s “devastating” bid to annex the Arctic island, its business minister has told CNBC, as the issue turns into a geopolitical firestorm.

With Donald Trump continuing to ramp up pressure in his bid to annex Greenland, Denmark is boosting its military presence on the Arctic island, according to local press reports, Politico reports.

“To be clear — I’m not critical of the president. I’m critical of the bad advice he’s getting on Greenland.”

“The Canadian Armed Forces have modeled a hypothetical U.S. military invasion of Canada and the country’s potential response, which includes tactics similar to those employed against Russia and later U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan,” the Globe and Mail reports.

“It is believed to be the first time in a century that the Canadian Armed Forces have created a model of an American assault on this country, a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a partner with the U.S. in continental air defense.”

The Economist: Canada’s armed forces are planning for threats from America.

Wall Street Journal: “His threat to hit several European countries with tariffs of 10%, rising to 25%, if they oppose the U.S. annexation of Greenland is entirely different. It would be an unprecedented use of tariffs against an ally for a strategic, as opposed to a domestic, goal.”

“This is the logical endpoint of Trump’s core doctrine: that the U.S.’s economic size and influence give it leverage to achieve a variety of goals through tariffs, including some that previously required military force. If it succeeds, it could usher in a new sort of trade war, one whose aims aren’t mercantile but geostrategic, including the annexation of more territory.”

Said France Finance Minister Roland Lescure to the BBC: “We’re living through uncharted territories. We’ve never seen this before. An ally, a friend of 250 years, is considering using tariffs … as a geopolitical weapon.”

President Trump said he had “no comment” when asked if he would use force to take control of Greenland, NBC News reports.

“With Trump, you have to resist the temptation to intellectualize what he is doing. They’re emotional responses, flying all over the place.”
