Summary
Mr. Carney has been prime minister since March, when former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down. Mr. Trump has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, pushing it toward a recession, and repeatedly threatened to annex it as the 51st state. Mr. Carney, 60, who promoted himself as the anti-Trump candidate and centered his campaign around dealing with the United States, ultimately benefited from the American president's stance. For Mr. Carney, Monday’s victory marked an astonishing moment in his rapid rise in Canada’s political establishment since entering the race to replace Mr. Trudeau in January. Despite Monday’s victory, the road ahead for Mr. Carney and his new government will be hard.
