The Australian Financial Review reports that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has joined Mark Carney in declaring an end to the international rules that have governed the Western world since World War II, in a pivotal moment underscoring how middle powers such as Canada and Australia are dealing with the volatility of a second Trump presidency.
USSC Director of Research Jared Mondschein was quoted in the article on this development, saying Carney’s middle power diplomacy was more impactful than it had been for some time, but it was not close to as consequential as what was possible when a country worked with the United States.
