Canada: Mark Carney, a seasoned economic policymaker with a background in investment but no prior political office experience, has been sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister. The Liberal Party, which rallied behind Carney as their choice to succeed Justin Trudeau, emphasised his expertise in managing two central banks through turbulent times. His appointment comes at a critical moment, with the country facing concerns about a potential trade war.

Carney steps into the role amid ongoing tensions between Canada and the United States, whose relations have been increasingly strained since the election of President Donald Trump.
