Yeah, Carney spoke Tuesday, the day before Trump, and his remarks went viral as this usually low-key politician made this sweeping claim saying that the global order built and led by the U.S.

for 80 years was not just strained, it had actually come apart.

And so Carney didn't mention Trump by name, but the implication was clear.
