The Liberal Party has won the federal election in Canada, ending a process marked by US president Donald Trump’s threats of a trade war and making the country the 51st American state.

With this result, the Liberal Party’s leader and current prime minister, Mark Carney, will remain in the job – and will form a new government with a new cabinet.
