The new leader of the liberal party Mark Carney will take over the position of Prime Minister in the Stormy Trade War with the USA.
The new leader of the Canadian Liberal Party Mark Carney will be appointed on Friday as 24. After more than nine years, Justin Trudeau will be replaced after more than nine years. TASR reports according to AFP.
Former Governor of Central Bank Carney (59) this week in an internal party vote won with an overview of 86 percent of the vote. After election, he promised a “trouble -free and fast” process of taking power.
According to Reuters Carney, he will take over the function in a stormy period, as Canada is in the trade war with its long -time ally United States. Liberals will also have to be converted by parliamentary elections, which must be held at the beginning of October.
Despite partial improvements in surveys in the past weeks, Carney’s side, according to CBC News, is lagging behind the opposition conservatives by eight percentage points.
This week, a 25 % duty on the import of steel and aluminum into the United States also entered into force. Canada responded to this step by retaliatory measures. Liberal leader said on Wednesday that he was “ready to sit” with US President Donald Trump and negotiate to avoid further commercial disputes.
Bloomberg reported that Carney’s new cabinet may be significantly smaller than Trudeau. The new government is expected to have 15 to 20 members. Trude’s cabinet has up to 37 government positions.
Carney will take the promise on Friday in Rideau Hall, the headquarters of Canada Governors Mary Simon. It will be on behalf of the King of Canada, the British ruler Karol III, supervising the whole process.
