Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

This is exactly the position that EVERY democratic world leader should adopt.

There is no viable way of dealing with Trump. The only method (outright bribery, and ever-increasing displays of submission) is not suitable for any democracy.

Only alternative: "Develop new partnerships."
