Mark Carney won the race to become Canada¡¯s next prime minister, putting the former central banker in charge of the country just as U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s administration threatens its economic future.
The ex-Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor won the contest to lead the Liberal Party of Canada with 85.9% of the vote. The transfer of power from Justin Trudeau to Carney is expected to take place within days.
Carney, 59, takes the reins at a time when the White House is creating upheaval in the global economy ¡ª and with U.S. trading partners ¡ª with increasingly chaotic tariff announcements.
