Mark Carney has officially taken office as Canada’s 24th prime minister, stepping into leadership at a critical time. The former central banker was sworn in on Friday, replacing Justin Trudeau after winning the Liberal Party leadership.
Carney faces immediate challenges, with US-Canada relations strained under President Donald Trump. The US has imposed heavy tariffs on Canadian imports, sparking fears of a trade war. Carney insists Canada must stand firm, saying negotiations with Trump must respect national sovereignty.
Meanwhile, Trudeau bids farewell after nearly a decade in power. Carney, positioning himself as a fresh start, is already shifting policies, scrapping Trudeau’s divisive carbon tax while pushing market-driven climate solutions.
A general election could be weeks away, with Trump’s policies expected to shape the race.
