Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland says that America's questioning of "the very worth of its mantle of global leadership puts in sharper focus the need for the rest of us to set our own clear and sovereign course."

This became only more clear after the recent Group of 20 meeting, where Trump was the sole dissenter on the Paris accord and his protectionist talk set off fears that a trade war was forming.
