Europe can rebuild rules-based international order, says Mark Carney

Canadian PM says Europe is not destined to submit to a more ‘transactional, insular and brutal world’

Europe will not submit to a more “brutal world”, and can instead be the base from which a new international order can be rebuilt, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, has said.

Carney was speaking as the first non-European leader to attend a meeting of the European Political Community, which opened on Monday amid high tensions in the strait of Hormuz and renewed doubts about the US commitment to Nato.
