Mark Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ’s Liberals fell short of winning an outright majority in Parliament on Tuesday, a day after the party scored a stunning comeback victory in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump.

The vote-counting agency Elections Canada finished processing nearly all ballots in an election that could leave the Liberals just three seats shy of a majority, which means they will have to seek help from another, smaller party to pass legislation.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney completed a comeback victory for the governing Liberals in Monday's election, positioning himself for a global role as a champion of multilateralism against U.S. President Donald Trump's more protectionist policies.

The first person to lead two G7 central banks has the experience to earn immediate international credibility, experts say. Carney's tough words for Trump during the campaign have been closely watched in other parts of the world.

Canada’s Liberal Party held onto crucial ground in the Toronto and Montreal regions, helping secure a path for Mark Carney to remain prime minister even as support slipped from the last federal election.

Millions of Canadians voted on Monday in a snap federal election that has largely focused on how the candidates would respond to US President Donald Trump's threats of tariffs as well as his call to make Canada the 51st state.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, current leader of the Liberal Party, called the vote in March shortly after taking over from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His main opponent in the race was Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

Carney is now projected to have won a fourth mandate for the party.

Here's what you need to know.

Canada's Liberal Party is projected to win the country's federal election for the fourth consecutive time.

The Liberals, led by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who took over after Justin Trudeau resigned earlier this year, won the majority in a shocking turnaround sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of annexation and his tariffs on America's close ally and northern neighbor.

Canadian voters backed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party on Monday, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. projects, in a national election strongly influenced by President Donald Trump.

The CBC said it was too early to know whether the Liberals would win enough seats to form a majority government, but it projected another term for the party, which has governed Canada for almost a decade.

Canadians will vote for a new government on Monday in an election that has been upended by U.S. President Donald Trump ‘s trade war and his threats to make Canada the 51st state.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the governing Liberal Party appeared poised for a historic election defeat until Trump slapped heavy tariffs on Canada and began threatening its sovereignty.

Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister Friday in the middle of a trade war and with an election battle on the way.

To win the next election, the new prime minister must quickly prove he is Canada’s best hope of managing relations with the White House. On Friday, Carney introduced his new Cabinet built to go head-to-head with President Donald Trump’s administration, as Ottawa lawmakers navigate the fallout of the president’s protectionist policies that one way or another will reshape Canada’s economy.

Canada‘s Liberal Party will select a new leader to replace Justin Trudeau on Sunday night, with that candidate likely to become the next prime minister of Canada, who will have to face the latest sovereignty and tariff threats from the Trump administration.

Trudeau, who served a decade as prime minister and 12 years as leader of the Liberals, announced in January he would resign from office. His departure from leadership opened up a competitive race between the top two candidates: Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland.

Canada's Liberal Party has selected banking executive Mark Carney as its new leader, who will take over from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and handle trade and tariff talks with President Donald Trump at least until Canada's next general election later this year.

Newsweek reached out to the White House on Sunday evening by email for comment.
