MNI: Carney Seeks New Pacts Resisting Major Power Coercion

Prime Minister Mark Carney said major global powers are turning to economic coercion and called for "middle powers" to create new pacts resisting that movement, citing U.S. tariff threats around Greenland and saying Canada is committed to NATO's security commitments. 

“Call it what it is: a system of intensifying Great Power rivalry, where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion,” Carney told the Davos summit Tuesday. 

“Great powers for now can decide to go it alone,” Carney said, adding "Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships." (See: MNI INTERVIEW: Canada Needs Broad Response To US Oil Threat)
