Global Leaders Congratulate Mark Carney on Canadian Election Victory

Mark Carney has secured victory for Canada’s Liberal Party, winning the national election after campaigning on a platform of defending Canadian sovereignty and economic resilience in the face of threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Carney’s campaign emphasized resisting U.S. pressure, particularly Trump’s comments about potential annexation and trade tariffs, which galvanized patriotic sentiment and reversed earlier poor polling for the Liberals. International leaders, including Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, congratulated Carney, highlighting expectations for continued cooperation on trade, security, and global democratic values. Former U.S. President Joe Biden also praised Carney’s leadership and commitment to shared Canadian-American values. Carney’s victory is viewed as a reinforcement of center-left politics and a potential counter to the rise of far-right nationalism internationally. While it remains unclear whether the Liberals will form a majority or minority government, Carney has pledged to work with all parties in parliament.
