Mark Carney won the Canadian election to continue his term as prime minister, Canadian and U.S. news outlets reported late Monday night, closing his victory after President Donald Trump's aggressive rhetoric and tariffs lifted the ruling Liberal Party to a remarkable political comeback.
Both CBC in Canada and the Associated Press projected Carney as the winner.
Carney's win represented a repudiation of Trump's volley of threats to annex Canada and make it the "51st state." That rhetoric along with punishing tariffs on Canadian goods has sparked an unprecedented wave of Canadian nationalism and overturned years of stability between the two neighbors
