Canada’s new leader previously denounced Trump’s planned tariffs on the country, saying Canadians would “stand up to a bully.”

Canada’s next leader is a relative political newcomer, coming instead from a decades-long career in finance where he steered governments through major global crises and periods of upheaval – experience he’s hoping to now leverage as he prepares to take over from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

TORONTO — Canada’s next prime minister met with outgoing prime minister Justin Trudeau on Monday and vowed a quick transition. Mark Carney said he had a long meeting with Trudeau in which they discussed U.S.-Canada relations, national security issues and the timing of the handover in power.
