Canada’s next prime minister, Mark Carney, vows to win the trade war against US President Donald Trump, after winning the race to succeed Justin Trudeau.
“Americans should make no mistake: in trade, as in hockey, Canada will win,” the ex-Bank of England governor tells supporters.
Carney, who will be sworn in as PM in the coming days, pledges retaliatory tariffs on US goods until “Americans show us respect”.
The 59-year-old, who has never held elected office, easily won the leadership race with 86% of the vote. He’ll lead the Liberals into the next general election, which must be held by 20 October. (BBC)
