Mark Carney, an economist and new political expatriate, has been sworn as the new prime minister in Canada, and made statements that “never” pledge to become part of the United States.

He took office on Friday a few days after the ruling liberal party was elected and amid a continuous trade war with US President Donald Trump.

“We know that by building together, we can give ourselves more than anyone else that can take away,” he said.

Carney replaces outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was in office for nine years, after his victory in the liberal leadership race last week.

“We will never be, in any way or form, part of the United States,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa on Friday, referring to Trump’s reflection that Canada joins the United States as its “51st condition”.

“We are a very different country,” he said, adding later that the idea is “crazy.”

He refused to answer questions about the timing of the upcoming federal elections in Canada – currently scheduled for October – but he hinted that he would move quickly to search for “a strong state required at the time.”

In his first order as prime minister, Carney moved to end a policy that was repeated by political opponents.

Consumer pricing program – a major environmental policy under the leadership of Trudeau, has ended in depth in recent years amid high inflation.

The conservatives criticized the tax, saying that it had raised the price of goods and energy for Canadian families.

At the afternoon cabinet meeting, Carney said his government would continue to take steps to combat climate change. Industrial carbon tax is still large in place.

Canadians receive a discount to compensate for the cost of carbon pricing and will get their final examination in April.

She has overwhelmed Canadian politics in recent months in largely the trade war launched by Trump after taking office in January – and with general elections on the horizon, Carney is expected to offer himself as a better candidate equipped to take over Trump.

He previously played roles as a ruler of Canada Bank, the Central Bank of the country, and England Bank, and both countries helped overcome the main financial turmoil.

He intends to travel to the United Kingdom and France as his first foreign trip as Prime Minister next week.

Carney said he was also looking to talk to Trump.

“We respect the United States. We respect President Trump,” he said.

“President Trump has put some important issues at the top of his agenda.”

Carney promised to support mutual definitions in Canada on specific American goods as long as Trump maintains 25 % of the global customs tariff on Canadian goods that are not covered by the commercial deal of the United States Convention (CusMA).

Canada depends on trade with the United States. Economists say it risks stagnation if Trump’s tariff is fully imposed.

Several members of the new cabinet served in Carney during the Trudeau era, in particular, keep those who have been working directly with the Trump administration in recent months.

They are Mélanie Joly, who is still in foreign affairs; David McGinte, who is still in public safety; Jonathan Wilkenson, resides as Minister of Energy; Dominic Lieblank, who moved from financing to trade; The François-Vhilippe Champagne has moved from industry to financing.

When the federal elections come, the main Carney competitor will be conservative leader Pierre Bolilifer.

Before threatening the definitions, the conservatives enjoyed a difference of 20 points in some election polls. Opinion polls now indicate a race much closer.

Speaking after Carney on Friday, Bolillifri argued that liberals did not deserve a fourth term in his post, with the addition that they already have nine years to improve the ability to bear costs and other issues in the country.

“It will be the same liberal results,” he said.

Poilievre added that if he is elected prime minister, he will “face President Trump directly, respond to a counter -tariff and regain control.”

When the next Canadians go to the polls, the liberals will only face the governors – who are the official opposition with 120 seats in the House of Commons – but also in Quebecais the bloc, who have 33 seats, and the new Democrats (NDP), who have 24.

In response to Kareni’s constitutional oath, the leader of the National Democratic Party has argued that the cabinet dates show that there is no room for progressive liberals under his leadership.

Jagmeet Singh said he failed to establish a separate cabinet portfolio of the Minister of Women, Youth or Persons with Disabilities, and Carney described as a person who made billionaires “very rich at the cost of workers.”
