Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a warning message against President Donald Trump in his victory speech.
“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country,” Carney said in Ottawa late Monday night. “These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never, ever happen.”

Similar to Trump, Carney had no direct political experience before his election. He was a banker who portrayed himself as the anti-Trump candidate. The 60-year-old took over as leader of the Liberal Party and will be the 24th Prime Minister of Canada.
“Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over,” Carney said. “The system of open global trade anchored by the United States—a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades—is over. These are tragedies, but it’s also our new reality.”
