Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged Tuesday to beat the United States in Donald Trump's trade war after winning Canada's election and leading his Liberal Party to another term in power.

The United Kingdom congratulated Carney on his victory, while the European Union chief said the bloc will work with him to "defend our shared democratic values" and "champion free and fair trade."

Following a campaign dominated by Trump's tariffs and annexation threats, Carney promised to chart "a new path forward" in a world "fundamentally changed" by a United States that is newly hostile to free trade.
