Mark Carney, recently elected as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and set to become Prime Minister, is confronted with significant challenges, particularly in relation to Donald Trump. Carney must balance his political stance against Trump with the need for diplomatic negotiations over contentious issues such as tariffs. He declared an unwavering Canadian identity and readiness for conflict in his acceptance speech, emphasizing that Canada will not align with American practices or values, even as he prepares for a potential general election amid tight political conditions.
He told party faithful on Sunday night in Ottawa, referring to Mr. Trump's threats to make Canada the 51st state. We didn't ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
Now he faces what is arguably the challenge of a lifetime: Donald J. Trump. Can Mr. Carney negotiate with Mr. Trump over tariffs and other combustible issues and find room for compromise?
