Justin Trudeau's replacement as Canada's new Prime Minister sent a warning to President Trump just minutes after he was elected amid increasingly hostile relations between the United States and its northern neighbor.Former central banker Mark Carney was today chosen to take over Trudeau as the Liberal party leader and Prime Minister of Canada.The 59-year-old issued a withering takedown of Trump in his first speech as new leader, making it clear that he intends to continue down Trudeau's path of public spats with the US leader.He accused Trump of 'trying to weaken our economy' in a speech to a raucuous room full of Liberal voters. 'Donald Trump, as we know, as put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living,' he said.'He's attacking Canadian workers, families and businesses. We cannot let him succeed. And we won't.'Opposition Conservatives hoped to make the election about Trudeau, whose popularity declined as food and housing prices rose and immigration surged.Trump has repeatedly touted his ambition to annex Canada, referring to Trudeau as 'Governor Trudeau' and the nation as America's '51st state.'
