Ms. Freeland is vying to become Canada’s next Liberal Party leader and prime minister on Sunday. Her chances could hinge on whether voters consider President Trump’s dislike of her an asset.

Bank of England governor, who will succeed Justin Trudeau, says he will keep tariffs until "Americans show us respect".

Carney, 59, will succeed Justin Trudeau, who announced in January that he would step down amid low approval ratings following a decade in office.

The governing Liberal Party of Canada elects former central banker Mark Carney its leader. He'll face President Trump’s trade war and annexation threat, and a federal election.

The former central banker will become the next PM, and many Canadians see him as the best hope in the Trump era.

The Liberal leadership race is underway following Justin Trudeau's announcement to step down. Candidates include Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould, and Frank Baylis.

Carney secured a win in the first ballot in a race that was triggered after Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced his intention to step down in early January after a mounting caucus revolt and the resignation of Chrystia Freeland from the cabinet.
