Former central banker Mark Carney was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Canada, taking office at a time of rising tensions over potential U.S. tariffs. Carney acknowledged the economic challenges ahead and stated that he looks forward to speaking with President Donald Trump “when the moment is right.”
The new prime minister faces immediate pressure to navigate trade disputes with Washington while focusing on domestic economic stability. Observers will be watching closely for any diplomatic engagement between Carney and Trump in the coming weeks.
