Toronto (Canada), Mar 10 (LaPresse) – Former central banker Mark Carney will be Canada's next prime minister after the ruling Liberal Party elected him its leader. Carney, 59, will replace current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but will remain premier until his successor is sworn in in the coming days. The news comes as the country faces a trade war and the threat of annexation by US President Donald Trump and federal elections loom. Carney faced crises when he was head of the Central Bank of Canada and when in 2013 he became the first non-citizen to head the Bank of England since its founding in 1694.
