Mark Carney sworn in as Canada`s prime minister 

Mark Carney has been sworn in as Canada’s new prime minister after Justin Trudeau formally resigned to end nearly a decade in power.

Carney’s new cabinet also has been sworn in at the ceremony at Rideau Hall in the Canadian capital, Ottawa.

An economist and former central banker, Carney succeeds Trudeau amid soaring tensions over US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats against Canada.

Carney is expected to call a federal election before parliament resumes later this month, sending Canadians to the polls as early as late April.
