Shafaq News/ Canada would never become the 51st US state, Mark Carney, Canada’s incomingPrime Minister, confirmed on Monday, rejecting comments made by US PresidentDonald Trump about annexing Canada.
“There’ssomeone who’s trying to weaken our economy,” Carney said in a speech followinghis victory in the Liberal Party leadership race. “Donald Trump, as we know,has put unjustified tariffs on what we build and on what we sell… We cannot lethim succeed, and we won’t.”
Carney, 59, a former Bank of Canada and Bank of Englandgovernor, secured a commanding 85.9% of the votes in the leadership contest,succeeding Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January afternearly a decade in office and will remain in place until Carney is sworn inover the coming days.
Carney assumes leadership at a time of economicuncertainty and strained US-Canada relations. President Trump’s trade war withCanada and remarks about annexation have heightened tensions.
Carney’s victory speech directly addressed Trump’s tradepolicies, which have included tariffs targeting Canadian exports, warning thathis government would maintain reciprocal tariffs on US imports “until Americansshow us respect.”
Carney is set to lead a minority government in parliament.He can either call an early general election or risk being forced into one byopposition parties through a vote of no confidence later this month.
