Mark Carney Named Canada's New Prime Minister Following Trudeau's Resignation

The former central bank chief takes over Liberal Party leadership with plans for economic reform and a firm stance against U.S. pressures.

Mark Carney, a former leader of the Canadian and British central banks, won the Liberal Party leadership with 85.9% of the vote, succeeding Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister.
Carney's appointment comes amid escalating tensions with the U.S., including trade disputes and annexation threats from President Donald Trump.
He plans to continue Trudeau's resistance to U.S. policies while promoting economic reforms, including tax relief for the middle class and reduced bureaucratic barriers.
Upcoming parliamentary sessions and potential confidence votes may lead to early national elections, with the Liberal Party showing recent polling gains against the Conservatives.
Justin Trudeau steps down after more than nine years as Prime Minister, leaving a legacy marked by early popularity but declining approval due to economic challenges.
