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.
