T ORONTO — Former central banker Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s new prime minister on Friday, and will now try to steer his country through a trade war brought by U.S. President Donald Trump, annexation threats and an expected federal election.

Canada’s new leader, Mark Carney, rebuked the Trump administration’s vision to make his country the 51st U.S. state. During some of his first public remarks as Canada’s prime minister, Carney made it a point on Friday to knock President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their comments regarding his country.

President Donald Trump since his second White House term began has said Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal should become U.S. property.
