Скачать или смотреть Mark Carney to Lead Canada Amid Rising Trade Tensions With US

Mark Carney has been elected as the new leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party, positioning him to replace Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister. While Carney aims to quickly transition into leadership and possibly call a snap election, his government faces a tough battle against Conservatives, with polls nearly tied. Carney will lead during a time of escalating tensions with the United States, as President Trump has now declared a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum coming into the US from Canada in response to Canada’s imposition of a 25% surcharge on electricity exports. Xavier Delgado, Senior Program Associate at the Wilson Center’s Canada Institute, provides insights on who Carney is and the impact of his election as leader of the Liberal Party. He talks about how Carney will likely differentiate himself from his predecessor, the current trade tensions and their potential impact on the upcoming general elections, and what the timeline is for Carney to be sworn in as prime minister.
