Mark Carney won the race to succeed Justin Trudeau as the next prime minister in Canada, who pledged to win the trade war against US President Donald Trump.
The former governor of Canada and the central banks in the United Kingdom beat three competitors in the liberal leadership competition in a landslide.
In a large part of the victory speech, Carney, 59, attacked Trump, who imposed a tariff on Canada and said he wanted to make the 51st American country. He said, “The Americans should not make any mistake.” “In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win.”
Carney is expected to take the constitutional oath as the Prime Minister in the coming days and will lead the liberals in the upcoming general elections, which is expected to be called in the coming weeks.
Carney, the prime minister now, has never worked in an elected position.
The leadership race started in January after Trudeau resigned nearly a decade. He had faced internal pressure to resign because of deep lack of voters, who felt frustrated by the housing crisis and the growing cost of living.
Carney won the first ballot on Sunday evening, when he received 85.9 % of the vote to overcome his closest rival, former Finance Minister Christia Freeland.
Noisy chants erupted as the results were announced for a crowd of about 1,600 believers in Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
The party said that more than 150,000 people threw polling cards in the race.
Carney, who will lead a minority government in Parliament, can be called either sudden general elections by himself or the opposition parties can force one to vote without confidence later this month.
Conservative liberals, led by Pierre Polilifri, at the beginning of this year by more than 20 points.
But they narrowed the gap since the trade war with Trump began and is now statistically linked to the official opposition, according to some polls.
Many Carney’s speech focused on Trump’s “unjustified tariffs” on Canada, the largest commercial partner in America.
“He is attacking Canadian workers, families and companies,” he said, which sparked loud funds from the crowd. “We cannot allow him to succeed.”
He said that his government will reserve definitions of American imports “so that the Americans show respect.”
“I know these are dark days,” Carney said. “The dark days brought by a country that we can no longer trust.
“We overcome the shock, but let’s never forget the lessons: we have to take care of ourselves and we have to search for each other. We need to assemble in the upcoming difficult days.”

Carney also pledged to “secure our borders”, which was a major demand for Trump in the face of customs tariffs.
The American President has even stated in Kareni’s attacks on his main opponent, the leader of the conservative Poilievre.
“The Pierre Politer’s plan will leave us divided and ready to overcome it,” Carney said.
“Because the person who worships the altar of Donald Trump will kneel in front of him, and not stand with him.”
Shortly before Carney’s stage, Trudeau made an emotional farewell speech at the same event.
He warned that Canada was facing an “existential challenge” from the United States during the Trump era.
Conservatives had to burn politically since Trudeau’s resignation, targeting Carney as “like Justin”, while the liberals were accused of a “infiltrated” plan to win a fourth period by simply replacing their leader.
The Poilievre Carney party also accused the role in transferring the main office of Brokefield Asset Management from Brokefield Management from Toronto to New York. Carney says that the official decision to transfer the company was taken after he resigned from the council.
“It embodies a kind of calm design, but it is the superior and efficient design to deal with some of these big issues.”
“I am really, really excited about what will happen. Frankly, it’s time for elections.”
What are the main Carney policies?
The former central banker has waged a widespread agenda, a transformation away from Trudeau, who moved the liberals to the left.
Among the main promises of the new liberal leader to move forward in major energy projects such as pipelines, which have faced political roadblocks in recent years.
He promised large investments in clean housing and energy projects, and the liberalization of trade within Canada, where the barriers remain between provinces, and the diversification of trade away from the United States.
During the leadership race, Carney promised the size of the federal government, which expanded 40 % under Trudeau’s leadership and a review of the program.
