## Resource

Leading author, journalist, and thinker David Frum discusses Prime Minister Carney's efforts to build a coalition of middle powers as Western allies reconsider their relationship with an increasingly unreliable United States. He argues that Trump's threats against allies—from Greenland to Canada—have fundamentally severed America's alliance system, creating a more transactional and unstable global order. He also examines whether Carney's "rupture thesis" represents sound policy or risks provoking American retaliation and discusses the limits of expecting a return to traditional U.S. leadership.
