Mark Carney sworn in as Canadian prime minister | BBC News

Mark Carney said "negativity won't win a trade war" in his first speech as Canada's new prime minister, as the country faces a tariff standoff with US President Donald Trump.

Carney says he will visit France and the UK on his first overseas trip in the job, adding that he currently has "no plans" to meet Trump, but "looks forward" to speaking to him.
