Mark Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend the G7 summit scheduled for June 15–17 in Alberta, The Times reported on March 17.

Facing escalating tensions with the United States over tariffs and trade disputes, Canadians have responded with widespread protests, boycotts of American goods, and increased support for Ukraine, while Prime Minister-designate Mark Carney prepares economic measures to shield businesses from the fallout.

Canada is preparing for the end of Justin Trudeau’s tenure — the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The country’s next prime minister will be 59-year-old Mark Carney, a former head of the central banks of both Canada and England, who will lead the nation amid Donald Trump’s newly declared trade war. On March 9, Carney was elected as the new leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, replacing Trudeau.
