Ex-central banker Mark Carney was sworn in as prime minister of Canada yesterday and immediately said he could work with US president Donald Trump, who is promising tariffs that could devastate the Canadian economy.

Mr Carney succeeds Justin Trudeau, who had a combative and often cold relationship with Mr Trump. Mr Carney (59) made clear his approach would be different.
