As Carney Travels the Globe for New Alliances, He Looks Away on Human Rights

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada became a diplomatic celebrity after delivering an electrifying speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, declaring that President Trump had permanently ruptured the rules-based world order.

He told the leaders to put their nations’ interests first, not placate Mr. Trump and form new alliances.

Mr. Carney has crisscrossed the globe — this year he has already circled the world twice — seeking to heed his own message by forging relationships with countries that will make Canada far less dependent on the United States.
