Carney Vows Canada Will Win US Trade War

Mark Carney has been elected as Canada's new prime minister, succeeding Justin Trudeau with an overwhelming 86% of the vote from the Liberal Party. In his victory speech, Carney emphasized his commitment to winning the trade war against the United States, directly criticizing President Trump's tariffs and his suggestion of annexing Canada. Carney vowed to maintain retaliatory tariffs until the U.S. respects Canada’s trade interests, stating, 'In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win.' He warned that the U.S. seeks control over Canadian resources, reiterating the need for Canadians to stand up for their way of life. With elections expected by October, Carney's leadership may be tested soon, especially as polls suggest a competitive environment against the Conservative Party. The former central banker aims to unify Canadians in the face of what he described as dark days brought on by a country that can no longer be trusted.
