Mark Carney, former governor of the Canadian central bank and Bank of England, won the race to become Canada’s new Prime Minister.
He will succeed Justin Trudeau at a time when the country is at a trade war with their long-time alley, the USA.
The trade war started following Trump’s decision to impose 25 percent import tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his agenda of making America great again.
Also, he brought 10 percent on goods from China and energy imported from Canada.
Many dub this decision hostile towards the neighboring countries.
At the same time, it would affect the US citizens in terms of experiencing increased cost of groceries and gas.
On the social media Truth Social, Trump wrote, “WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID.”
Trump said the “only solution” for Canada to dodge the tariffs would be it to become the 51st state of America.
He accused Canada of failing to “halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the US.”
Canada and Mexico took a stand regarding the hiked tariffs, saying they would respond in the same manner to US goods being imported.
Mark Carney wasted no time to slam president Trump.
In his speech, he said, “America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form.
“We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country.
“Think about it. If they succeed, they will destroy our way of life.”
Mark Carney added: “I know these are dark days. Dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust.”
“We’re getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons: we have to look after ourselves and we have to look out for each other. We need to pull together in the tough days ahead.”
Carney won on the first ballot on Sunday evening, taking 85.9% of the vote within the Liberal Party to beat his nearest rival, former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
