Mark Carney wasted no time sending a sharp message to Washington. Just minutes after securing the Liberal Party leadership and becoming Canada’s next prime minister, the former central bank chief delivered a blunt warning to President Donald Trump: Canada will not be intimidated.

He is a card-carrying member of the global technocratic elite, and he has led not one but two central banks—Britain’s and Canada’s. And he’s a regular at Davos.

Canada's next prime minister said the U.S. is “a country we can no longer trust” and that higher tariffs would continue “until the Americans show us respect.”
