Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister on March 14, 2025, amid an explosive trade war with the United States. He replaced Justin Trudeau as Liberal Party leader and appointed a new cabinet, including Francois-Philippe Champagne as finance minister and Dominic LeBlanc to international trade. Carney is the first Canadian prime minister since the country's first leader to assume the role without having held a seat in the House of Commons or Senate.
