Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of England, has been sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada.
Mr Carney, who led the UK’s central bank from 2013-2020, replaces Justin Trudeau, who had been Prime Minister since 2015.
Mr Carney swore an oath in both English and French at the ceremony on Friday, and pledged his allegiance to King Charles, who is King of Canada, and his heirs and successors.
The swearing-in comes at a turbulent time for Canada, after Donald Trump threatened historic financial devastation for the country amid an escalating and erratic trade war, alongside repeated vows to make the country America’s 51st state.
Mr Trump had threatened to double his planned tariffs on steel and aluminium from 25% to 50% for Canada, but hours later halted the plan.

Mr Carney has pledged to keep retaliatory tariffs in place until the US commits to free trade.
After winning a leadership election to succeed Mr Trudeau, Mr Carney said Canada would “never ever” be part of the US.
During his victory speech, he told the crowd: “We cannot let Trump succeed and we won’t.”
It is unclear if he will call a snap election, with the next vote scheduled for October.
He is expected to travel to Europe next week, and may meet Charles then.
Canada will not be ‘intimidated or coerced by Trump’s bully boy tactics’, says top diplomat
King Charles met outgoing Mr Trudeau at the start of the month, a day after he received Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Sandringham.
The monarch was hailed for offering a show of solidarity to Mr Zelenskyy by warmly welcoming him after the president’s dramatic Oval Office clash with Mr Trump.
The challenges Canada faces with its nearest neighbour were said to be high on the agenda, as was support for Ukraine, when the King met Mr Trudeau on March 3.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
