‘A global rupture’: Carney calls for Canada-EU unity before G7 summit

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called on 'middle powers' to unite in the face of a 'global rupture,' speaking at Trinity College Dublin on June 13, 2026. He lamented the weakening of the multilateral order and the weaponization of economic integration, without naming any country. His remarks come amid historic friction with the United States, where Donald Trump demands Canada become the 51st state and uses tariffs to pressure Ottawa. Carney and Trump are set to meet at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains from June 15-17.
