Mark Carney Named Liberal Leader, Poised to Become Canada's Next Prime Minister

The former central bank governor succeeds Justin Trudeau, pledging economic reforms and a firm stance against U.S. trade threats.

Mark Carney won the Liberal Party leadership with 85.9% of the vote, defeating Chrystia Freeland and other candidates.
Carney will serve as interim Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau's resignation, with national elections expected soon.
He plans to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies and reduce Canada's economic reliance on the U.S.
Carney's leadership comes as the Liberals experience a resurgence in polls, narrowing the gap with the opposition Conservatives.
Trudeau's departure ends a nine-year tenure marked by initial popularity but later declining approval due to economic challenges.
