Toronto: Former central banker Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s prime minister on Friday. Carney takes office amid ongoing challenges, including a trade war initiated by US President Donald Trump, Canada’s merger as the 51st state, and the possibility of a midterm election.

Carney, who previously led the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, now faces the task of navigating the country through its evolving political and economic landscape.
