Carney's Davos speech draws reaction from around the world [View all]

Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this week is being lauded by some for its bold description of where the world is — and where it needs to go.

Without naming U.S. President Donald Trump, Carney said "American hegemony" and "great powers" are using economic integration as "weapons."

The 16-minute speech not only challenged the behaviour of America under Trump, but suggested a bold path forward where middle powers like Canada and others band together so they can approach those great powers from a place of strength.

Here's some of the reaction the speech has gotten from political leaders, from Australia to Europe to Mexico.
