Liberal Party leader Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister on Friday, replacing Justin Trudeau, who resigned in January. Carney, a former Bank of Canada governor, takes office amid escalating trade tensions with the US under President Donald Trump. The trade war has led to tariffs affecting key Canadian industries, with Carney vowing to protect the economy and strengthen ties with global partners. "Canada will stand firm in defending its interests," he said. Trudeau, who served since 2015, wished Carney success. The swearing-in ceremony took place at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, attended by senior officials.
