HELSINKI — Finland’s transportation minister Sanna Marin was selected by her Social Democratic party on Sunday to become the country’s youngest prime minister ever, taking over after the resignation of Antti Rinne. The 34-year-old Marin, whose party is the largest in a five-member governing coalition, will be the world’s youngest serving prime minister when she takes office in the coming days. “We have a lot of work ahead to rebuild trust,” Marin told reporters after winning a narrow vote among the party leadership. The Confederation of Finnish Industries estimates the strikes will cost the companies a combined 500 million euros ($550 million) in lost revenue. “We have a joint government program which glues the coalition together,” Marin said.
