Volkswagen and Stellantis Dodge Tariffs, BMW Takes the Hit

Mark Carney Elected Canada’s Next Prime Minister

🇨🇦 Former central banker Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership race with 86% of the vote, replacing Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister during a heated trade standoff with the U.S. under President Trump.

⚖️ Carney, a political outsider, positioned himself as the best candidate to handle Trump’s tariffs, vowing to keep Canada’s retaliatory tariffs in place until the U.S. shows “respect.” His economic background helped revive the struggling Liberal Party.

📊 The Liberals, once trailing by 20 points, are now tied with the opposition Conservatives ahead of an upcoming election. With no party likely to secure a majority, Carney is expected to call an early vote in the coming weeks.
