Mark Carney began laying the groundwork to take over quickly as Canada’s prime minister, with lawmakers and cabinet ministers holding key meetings Monday after Liberal Party members chose him as their new leader.
Mark Carney assumed leadership of the Liberal Party and is preparing for a likely imminent Canadian election. He aims for a quick transition, focusing on the economy and U.S. trade relations. While no election date is set, Carney intends to seek a mandate soon. His approach to trade and retaliatory tariffs has garnered support, while opponents criticize his past ties to the current Prime Minister.
