Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney sworn in

“Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister,” the report said. He is expected to announce the call for parliamentary elections soon.

Carney is a Canadian economist, financier, and public figure, a former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He has been the leader of the ruling Liberal Party since March 9, 2025. Prior to that, Carney had not held political office or served in parliament.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Carney advised the government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on economic recovery. On January 16, 2025, he announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada: in early January, party leader and Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau announced his resignation. According to the results of the internal elections held in March, Carney won with 85.9% of the vote.

Mark Carney supports closer cooperation with Europe and Asia to reduce trade dependence on the United States, in the face of the imposition of 25% tariffs on imports by neighboring President Donald Trump and the American leader's claims to Canadian sovereignty. In addition, the new leader of the Liberals promised to implement fundamental economic reforms, including tax cuts for the middle class, reducing bureaucracy, and actively encouraging innovation and investment.
