“Canada and the Trump administration are locked in a war of words over Prime Minister Mark Carney’s bid to chart a new model for smaller powers to fight back against the U.S.’s aggressive use of its economic and military might,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“In the past week, Carney has resolved a trade dispute with America’s biggest strategic competitor, China, and delivered a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland urging smaller powers to unite against economic coercion from the world’s great powers.”
“The moves drew cheers at home and abroad as a template on how to stand up to the Trump administration’s perceived bullying, just as the president was threatening Europe with retribution if Denmark didn’t yield the Arctic island of Greenland to the U.S.”
“But Carney’s actions also incensed the Trump administration.”
