Canada’s incoming PM promises quick transition after meeting Trudeau

12 Sept 13:31 Key points summarised by AI

Mark Carney, the newly elected leader of Canada's Liberal Party, is set to swiftly take over as Prime Minister, promising a seamless transition after meeting with current PM Justin Trudeau.
Carney's leadership emerges as Canada faces heightened tensions with the U.S., with his party positioning him as the best candidate to confront President Trump's threats of annexation and trade tariffs.
Canadian provinces are already retaliating against U.S. tariffs; Ontario has imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to several U.S. states, while others advocate boycotting American products.
Carney has strongly vowed to protect Canada's resources and national identity against perceived American aggression, with expectations that he will soon call a general election.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
