Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, in a high-profile speech last month, described the Trump era as a rupture for countries like his, and called on global “middle powers” to band together to survive in the tumult of a changing United States.
This week, he is building on his plan to construct a middle-power sphere of trade and deep bonds by visiting India, Australia and Japan.
Accompanied by several ministers and provincial leaders, Mr. Carney wants to seal agreements to sell more oil, gas, and other natural resources abundant in Canada, secure investments and finalize defense deals with key Indo-Pacific countries.
