Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister-designate, blasted Donald Trump in a blistering speech after his landslide victory in the governing Liberal Party’s election.
The 59-year-old former central banker made Canada’s increasingly fraught relationship with the Trump administration the centerpiece of his Sunday night address, calling America “a country we can no longer trust” and warning that like-for-like tariffs would continue “until the Americans show us respect.”
Carney takes over from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who remains prime minister until his successor is sworn in in the coming days.
He is expected to call snap elections shortly, with one opinion poll suggesting the Liberal Party has a slight lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party, representing a remarkable comeback for the Liberals, given that the Conservatives held a 26-point advantage in January.
