An economic plan from world leaders could reduce the impact of Donald Trump's tariff policy worldwide, insiders say.

The president's economic plan, which he implemented during his second term, has caused disruptions domestically and internationally. World leaders are now seeking a way through the economic spiral, and Canadian PM Mark Carney is believed to be at the helm of this plan. Insiders, speaking to Politico, confirmed there are nearly 40 countries interested in the talks.

A Canadian government official said, "The work is definitely coming along. We’ve had very fruitful discussions on it with other partners around the world."

Both the European Union and members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, including Canada, Mexico, and Australia, are keen to stand against Trump's economic policies and their effects on the wider world.


- Since Carney's speech, and his move to trade with China on EV's I have said to friends that it feels like he's leading the charge and people are following. If it comes together, a US economic black out will fucking destroy what's left of the country.

1. Trade war due to Trump's unilateral tariffs. Who woulda thunk it?

2. The world trusts and likes Carney. He is a good man and a good leader with solid credentials

Ottawa is “championing efforts to build a bridge between the Trans-Pacific Partnership [CPTPP] and the European Union, which would create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people,” Carney told world leaders and the global business elite in Davos.

The middle powers are taking action. The EU and CPTPP are starting talks this year to strike an agreement to intertwine the supply chains of members like Canada, Singapore, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Australia with Europe.

It would bring nearly 40 nations on opposite sides of the globe closer together with the aim of reaching a deal on so-called rules of origin.

These rules determine the economic nationality of a product. A deal would allow manufacturers throughout the two blocs to trade goods and their parts more seamlessly in a low-tariff process known as cumulation.
