Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister in a ceremony at Rideau Hall on Friday morning, along with a leaner Liberal cabinet that he said is focused on “meeting the moment” and facing down the threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

In his first press conference as prime minister, Carney said his government will concentrate on growing the economy, making life more affordable and making the country more secure.
