Along with his cabinet, former central banker and newly elected leader of the Liberal Party Mark Carney will be sworn in as Canada’s next prime minister on Friday morning. On Wednesday the office of the Governor General verified the shift.
59-year-old Carney replaces Justin Trudeau, who stepped down in January following almost a decade of rule. As he takes on his new post, the incoming prime minister has guaranteed Canadians a “smooth and fast” transition.
Carney’s those in Politics
A political rookie, Carney seized a landslide victory in the Liberal Party leadership election by claiming 86% of more than 150,000 votes. After a distinguished tenure as head of the Bank of England and then the Bank of Canada, he entered government.
Particularly with the United States, Canada is handling economic and trade difficulties, so his leadership is especially pertinent now.
Carney is unyielding in his view of United States trade relations.
Carney’s victory speech took a bold position on trade with Washington: “In trade as in hockey, Canada will win.” His statement indicates his intention to protect Canadian economic interests against US trade policies.
Carney repeated on Wednesday his willingness to work with President Donald Trump, saying he is “ready to sit down” and negotiate a renewed trade pact to stop further financial troubles from arising.
Trade disputes between Canada and the United States intensify.
With a 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum imports, Washington has recently further damaged trade with Canada. Canada has instead put into effect counter tariffs. As he tries to negotiate these financial difficulties while shielding Canadian businesses, Carney will be judged on his leadership.
Canadians are closely following Carney’s political skills development to see how his financial knowledge works in practice. His success in the months ahead will depend significantly on his capacity to handle economic policies and trade negotiations.
