Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has issued a stark warning about the state of the global order, describing it as "breaking down" under the weight of superpower dominance. Speaking ahead of the G7 summit, Trudeau called for a united front between Canada and the European Union to address the escalating challenges to international stability.

He expressed concern that the dominance of certain superpowers is leading to a fracturing of this order, creating an environment of increased uncertainty and potential conflict.
