Donald Trump’s maximalist approach to foreign policy reached a crescendo this week, with the US president dominating proceedings at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Trump rescinded his threat to seize the Danish territory of Greenland, and launched his so-called board of peace for Gaza.

The Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, has warned that 'the old order is not coming back … We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy.'
