The former central banker turned Canadian PM who said ‘no’ to Trump
After "putting his foot down" with the U.S. president, Mark Carney "will now enter a somewhat more difficult phase" where he will have to manage the impact on Canada's economy
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former central banker, has demonstrated a strong stance against U.S. President Donald Trump's policies, particularly during trade talks. On Saturday, Carney, who previously headed Canada's central bank, declared, "We are masters in our own house," as he broke off negotiations with the United States and sent his team back to Ottawa.
Despite the potential economic risks for Canada, which relies heavily on exports to the U.S., Carney enjoys strong public support, with 76% of Canadians praising his decision, according to a recent poll.
