He assured anxious voters that the country could not just survive the trade war — but win it.”“Carney is likely to take that same sober approach — honed by steering two central banks through the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis — into his negotiations with Trump. He has already ditched the acrimonious tone of his predecessor, fellow-Liberal Justin Trudeau, who promised to punch back at every tariff.”
