The Trump Effect: Canada breaks away, India hedges its bets

The article first appeared in Business Line on February 1, 2026

Will the US recover from the reign of King Donald? The question remains an open one, but the damage to America’s standing abroad is already plain. Across capitals from Ottawa to New Delhi to Brussels, the “Trump Effect” has forced allies and rivals alike to reassess a United States that now appears erratic, transactional and coercive. No country has felt the rupture more keenly than Canada, Trumpworld’s northern neighbour, which Trump has repeatedly mused about making the 51st state. When Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke at Davos, he tolled the death knell of the old global order...

Mr Trump and his team arrived in Davos with a bullish message. Massive fiscal stimulus — both continuing and newly promised under the administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act— will soon be reinforced by a sharp increase in defence spending and possibly even a fresh round of Covid-19-style $2,000 checks for most Americans.
