Analysts expect the U.S.-China trade truce to hold as Beijing bets Trump won’t follow through on his threats ahead of a leaders’ meeting in April.

As US President Donald Trump primed his arrival in Davos by sowing discord with allies – ramping up threats to take control of Greenland, vowing to levy tariffs on opponents of that bid, and leaking private messages from European leaders – Beijing took the cue to position itself as an alternative global leader.

Donald Trump is threatening to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Canada if it makes a trade deal with China, registering opposition to closer ties between Ottawa and Beijing under Prime Minister Mark Carney.

President Trump reveals that India has struck an oil deal with Venezuela, shifting focus from Iranian sources. As the U.S. navigates complex geopolitical waters, questions arise about the implications for global oil markets and US-India relations.

If foreign leaders have learned anything about Donald Trump’s presidency, it may be that they’re better off as America’s foe than its friend.
