391: Davos: What Trump And Carney’s Speeches Really Mean
The annual gathering of global elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos is usually an easy skip. It typically features a parade of bureaucrats and technocrats, both elected and unelected, proudly touting their plans for “managing the world.” But this year, there were a couple of particularly interesting speeches from two world leaders who stand in stark opposition to one another.
In today’s episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down the Davos speeches from U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and why Carney’s in particular was quite surprising to hear.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE
- Listen in as Marc and I break down Mark Carney’s admission that the so-called “rules-based order” has always been a mirage
- Tune in to hear how Canada’s PM stood on a global stage in Davos and echoed ideas we’ve been hammering for years: self-sufficiency, independence, and the end of blind trust in global systems
- Marc and I look at Trump’s speech and how his chaos-driven, “Art of the Deal” seemingly achieved his desired result regarding Greenland
- Learn what the “Donroe Doctrine” and Trump’s push to reindustrialize the U.S. mean for the future of Latin America
