The newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, has been officially sworn in, putting him in a position to battle tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump that could devastate Canada’s trade-dependent economy.
Carney took the oath of office in the presence of Governor General Mary Simon, the personal representative of King Charles III, who is Canada’s head of state.
The former central banker reshaped his cabinet with a focus on dealing with Washington and cut several ministerial positions that he inherited from his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.
Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc is moving to the international trade portfolio and will be replaced by current Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne, while Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly remains in her post.
“We’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action, and that’s what this team will deliver—a smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future,” Carney said in a post on X.
The moment capped a remarkable rise for the 59-year-old, who became the first Canadian prime minister without prior elected political experience.
Carney plans to travel to London and Paris next week, according to a diplomatic source. Canada has been working to strengthen alliances in Europe as its relations with the United States reach unprecedented lows.
Carney defeated his rivals on Sunday in the race to become leader of the ruling Liberal Party. He replaces Trudeau, who spent more than nine years in office.
Former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, whose shock resignation last December triggered a crisis that contributed to Trudeau’s departure, has been appointed Transport Minister.

Malami fires back at Obasanjo over corruption allegations on presidential pardons
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari of enabling unprecedented levels of corruption, specifically criticizing the presidential pardons granted to ex-governors Joshua Dariye and Jolly Nyame, both convicted of embezzlement.
Obasanjo alleged that former Attorney General Abubakar Malami played a key role in these pardons, suggesting that the process was influenced by corruption.
In response, Malami dismissed these claims, stating that the pardon process is governed by a designated committee responsible for such decisions, and his role was limited to presenting the committee’s report to the Council of State.
Malami emphasized that allegations of corruption should be substantiated with specific evidence, criticizing the trend of baseless accusations against public officials.
The Federal Government also refuted Obasanjo’s criticisms, defending the Buhari administration’s record on anti-corruption efforts and infrastructure projects.
