00:00Former central banker Mark Carney will become Canada's next Prime Minister after the ruling

00:06Liberal Party elected him as their new leader.

00:09And in his first speech, he was quick to take a defiant stance against threats from US President

00:14Donald Trump.

00:15There's someone who's trying to weaken our economy.

00:18Donald Trump, as we know, has put, as the Prime Minister just said, unjustified tariffs

00:26on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living.

00:32He's attacking Canadian families, workers and businesses, and we cannot let him succeed.

00:40Immediately addressing one of Canadians' most pressing concerns, Carney said his government

00:45will continue fighting Trump.

00:47The Canadian government has rightly retaliated and is rightly retaliating with our own tariffs

00:53that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impact here in Canada.

01:01My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect.

01:06In first place, the next Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney.

01:12Carney was the former governor of Canada's central bank and is widely credited with helping

01:16orchestrate the country's fast recovery from the 2008 financial crisis.

01:21In 2013, he was appointed as governor of the Bank of England, becoming the first non-citizen

01:26to do so since its founding.

01:28More recently, he served as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Change and Finance.

01:34Carney will succeed Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister in the coming days after he's sworn

01:38in.

01:39The Harvard-educated economist with Wall Street experience may not keep the job for long.

01:44He's expected to trigger a snap election shortly.

01:47Opposition parties could also force one with a no-confidence vote later this month.
