Mark Carney Chosen as Liberal Party Leader and Future Prime Minister
Mark Carney was voted as the leader of Canada's Liberal ruling party, and he is the likely next prime minister. Speaking at a press conference, he responded to comments made by United States President Donald Trump, who has continuously made proposals about including Canada as a 51st state. Carney unequivocally denied this, affirming that Ottawa had no relation to the United States in this capacity.
Strong Position on National Sovereignty
Carney pointed out that Canada is still powerful and independent. He claimed that in trade or sports, Canada will never lose.
Reaction to U.S. Plans
He cautioned that a superpower is trying to annex Canada and claim its resources, such as water and land. If this was to succeed, he said, it would be a threat to Canada's way of life. Carney pledged to resist Trump's moves to ensure Canada stays sovereign.
Trade and Retaliatory Actions
Carney also spoke about trade relations, declaring that retaliatory actions against the United States would continue until Washington agrees to a fair and transparent trade relationship with Ottawa.
