Mark Carney won the race to become Canada’s next prime minister, putting the former central banker in charge of the country just as US President Donald Trump’s administration threatens its economic future.
Mark Carney won the Liberal Party contest with 86% of the vote and will succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister within days. Carney, former head of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, will take over as Canada faces economic challenges, including trade threats from the US under President Trump. He may call a national election soon after assuming office.
