Mark Carney, the former central banker-turned-centrist politician, triumphed over Chrystia Freeland in Sunday’s Liberal Party leadership race, paving the way for him to succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada’s next prime minister. He is expected to be sworn in early this week.

Carney, 59, whose resume is filled with decades of experience working at the highest levels of global finance but has never been elected to public office, now faces his first major economic reckoning as prime minister — managing Canada’s trade relationship with the United States.

In his acceptance speech Carney tackled the Trump tariff threats head on. "Donald Trump as we know has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living" he said. "He’s attacking Canadian families, workers and businesses and we cannot let him succeed and we won’t."
